First, the prices were shockingly high—€18 for just a bowl of soup felt incredibly overpriced. Even worse, the atmosphere was terrible. The entire restaurant, both inside and outside, reeked of cigarette smoke. As someone with asthma and bronchitis, this was not only unpleasant but actually dangerous for my health. I had to leave quickly, and I was coughing and sneezing all night afterward due to all the secondhand smoke. There was no designated non-smoking area, which is unacceptable.
To make matters worse, our waiter was dismissive and more attentive to other customers who arrived after us. Overall, the service, atmosphere, and pricing were a huge disappointment. I won’t be coming back and wouldn’t recommend it to others—especially if you have any respiratory issues.
Après plus de six heures de voyage depuis l’Autriche jusqu’à Paris, puis Lourdes en avion et en train, nous étions épuisés et affamés. Nous sommes arrivés au restaurant environ 10 minutes avant la fermeture de la cuisine et avons passé commande à temps. Malheureusement, l'expérience s'est rapidement dégradée.
Tout d'abord, les prix étaient choquants : 18 € pour un simple bol de soupe, c’est extrêmement cher. Pire encore, l’atmosphère était horrible. Le restaurant, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur, empestait la fumée de cigarette. En tant que personne asthmatique et atteinte de bronchite, c’était non seulement désagréable, mais dangereux pour ma santé. J’ai dû partir rapidement, et j’ai passé la nuit à tousser et éternuer à cause de toute cette fumée secondaire. Il n'y avait aucun espace non-fumeur désigné, ce qui est inacceptable.
Pour couronner le tout, notre serveur était peu attentionné et s’occupait davantage des clients arrivés après nous. En résumé, service, ambiance et prix étaient une vraie déception. Je ne reviendrai pas, et je ne recommande pas ce lieu, surtout si vous avez des problèmes respiratoires.
