Au Vieux Fourneau sur Calais

03/05/2026: Extremely pleasant service with excellent, well-prepared food. A great gin menu and helpful advice.

02/05/2026: We had made a reservation on Monday for a Friday visit. Upon arrival, with two toddlers, a stroller, and two pregnant women, the waiter didn't know where to seat us. This already put us off somewhat. Once seated, the music proved to be truly disturbing. Furthermore, hearing one of the waitresses complain from beginning to end of the meal, for various reasons, and reprimand the young servers who were doing their best despite the busy service, made the experience even less pleasant. However, the fact that this same waitress felt entitled to yell at my daughter, then immediately changed her attitude, becoming excessively sweet when she realized I was nearby, is simply unacceptable. It's a disgrace. We understand that your job can be difficult, but if customer interaction becomes unbearable, perhaps you should consider a different career path. The restaurant's interior is relatively small, and children don't run on batteries, so yes, a child will play while waiting for their order, Madam. Don't accept so many customers and reservations if you can't deliver afterward. To end on a positive note: the meal was very good.
