Les Rives du Lac sur Metz

No drinks menu, so we chose blindly without knowing the prices… a very average glass of Côtes du Rhône for €4.90. No starters, so I asked if it was possible to have half a salad with bacon and chicken liver as a starter. It was very good, but €13 for a starter when a main course is €17.50! That's expensive for half a dish. The dish of the day at €24: the meat was overcooked, even though I asked for it rare, and my potato pancakes were excellent. So, we ate well enough, but it was a bit pricey.

I went there because their set menus are inexpensive. But they never explained the menu to us and just showed us a chalkboard with the prices listed, and there was no drinks menu either. In other words, you choose a drink blindly without knowing the price. I didn't think that was very fair to the customers. The welcome wasn't warm. The restaurant was cold. The decor wasn't inviting either.
