Popped in for a quick breakfast as this place was close to where I was doing my shopping.I wish I’d never gone there, the food and the service were horrible.I ordered corn fitters with grilled halloumi. It came out in a bowl, drenched in what I can only describe as watery tomato sauce. I expressed my concern about how much sauce the fritters were swimming in and the lady told me it’s good sauce. I advised it may be but these are corn fitters, not pasta with sauce. I advised not to worry. I’ll scrap it off, which I did. It was hard to remove the sauce as it was in a bowl so the fritters were soaking in sauce and were quite soft and fell apart.The grilled halloumi however was like it had been deep fried, it was totally melted and feel off the fork when you raised it to your mouth to eat, so I left most of the halloumi, exept one corner that was grilled and still had it’s shape.When the owner came out to take my plate I mentioned (as a piece of feedback) that the grilled halloumi was too melted and demonstrated this by holding a piece of it on my fork and showing him how it hung like melted cheese.The owner told me his customers loved their halloumi. I told him that’s not how grilled halloumi should be. To my shock he continued on and told me that he didn’t like how I ate (he said it was disgusting to watch).I guess scrapping off the sauce and showing him how the halloumi dripped off my fork was disgusting to him but it’s unacceptable to talk that way to a customer when they are simply telling you the problems with the meal,I will never go back to this place again.
Don’t be confused by the name, this place is by no means a French bistro. At best it’s a no frills cafe, with standard breakfast and lunch options and some cakes. However that said, the bacon and egg breakfast was pretty well done. It sounds simple but I’ve been to plenty of places that get it wrong. Eggs were perfectly soft as requested, bacon was nice and crispy but still full bodied and moist. Sides were good as well, baby spinach, mushrooms and tomato.I’m not sure why they served my toast on the side though, and cut in half, they’re not the only ones that do this. But who eats like that? Don’t you need the toast on your plate so you can pile the eggs and everything else on top? Or is that just me?Service was friendly and atmosphere quiet and relaxed.
