Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

Oi! Calgus! NO!!from your message you are quite French/ like the French a little too much. I used to go to France every other weekend as my ex was French and lived just outside Rouen. We would frequently eat out as she couldn't cook and if I offered she took it as an insult. My observations are 1) The French wouldn't know good service if it was rammed down their throats which would improve the stench of their breath. 2) Hygiene is an alien concept to both restaurants and waiting staff. 3) food is usually hideously over priced and not cooked as per requirements I like my steak blue, lots of blood and not burned to a crisp. 4) it's makes no difference who ordered me or the ex the quality is the same CRAP! so it's nothing to do with nationality or ability to speak French.
I can only suppose that any instructions not shouted in German are to deemed to be unimportant, as for the French not putting up with any shit, Nein Mein Heir! Je suis un collaborator
I will agree the wine is good but New World wines are better and cheaper.
my opinion of the French is on the same lines as Grounds Keeper Willie
