Le jardin de l'orient sur Venissieux

27/03/2024: Lots of choice in terms of fried foods and typical “European” dishes (not bad for children who are often less adventurous taste-wise) but it’s a shame that Asian cuisine is not more highlighted (for fans of this type of cuisine). this is not where you will find your happiness) Huge choice of desserts (very often renewed). In terms of taste, I did not like the mussels (unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth). The beef with onions also disappointed me, not spicy enough. Otherwise the buffet is good overall even if it remains very classic. I especially recommend the place to families, the room is relatively quiet there are very rarely people and the restaurant is easy to access for strollers. Big negative point for me: the service. The times I have been to this restaurant have been evening service so perhaps tiredness at the end of the day affects the quality of service but that is what jumps out at me every time. Having already worked in the restaurant industry, I can only sympathize with the fatigue and constant pressure in this area, but I think we still have to stick to a minimum. In this case today it was a game of cat and mouse with the waitress. I can't even say she was overwhelmed since the room was empty. She was not attentive (full plates and cutlery cleared while we were still eating, no water pitcher restocked..)
