Aux Merveilleux de Fred sur Metz

27/03/2026: The dining room is magnificent. The menu is very appealing. But in the end, the food was bland. The saffron risotto had no real flavor, and the confit garlic sauce tasted like a typical meat sauce. I feel there's a disconnect between the menu descriptions and what you actually get. They offer gravlax salmon, which is supposed to be raw, but we received cooked salmon. The chocolate pistachio tartlet, Dubai-style, was too simple. The chocolate was good, but the pistachio tasted like a sugary dessert. In short, I was rather disappointed, especially considering it's a place that's often been recommended to me.

15/03/2026: The setting is truly beautiful, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the servers were friendly. We came on a Saturday evening, but unfortunately, there were several minor hiccups during the ordering process. We waited an extremely long time (45 minutes) for our champagne flutes, which arrived at the same time as the appetizers and wines, so we received everything at once. Furthermore, there was a mistake with one dish, and one person had to wait an additional 15 minutes. That said, the food was good, but the meat wasn't exceptional according to my guests. Considering the price, we wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
