02/08/2026: I don't like writing these kinds of reviews because I know how demanding working in the restaurant industry is, and I have the utmost respect for this profession and those who practice it – especially in France, with its wonderful and creative cuisine. That's why we were looking forward to this evening at "La Table des Baou," which enjoys a very good reputation. The meal was impeccable (not a revelation, but very well executed and delicious), but the service left much to be desired: compared to the neighboring tables, we were treated like second-class customers. When I asked to wait a moment before ordering so I could look at the extensive wine list, I was told it wasn't possible because the restaurant was too crowded. The wine wasn't at the correct temperature, and the bottle bag wasn't maintaining it either – while at neighboring tables, the bottles were served in ice buckets.
When the casserole was served, the hot lid remained on the pot, and the waiter left without a word. A colleague did apologize for her colleague's carelessness, but this shouldn't happen in a restaurant of this caliber. How does this align with the standards the restaurant sets for itself?
However, this reflected the overall impression: my family and I were disappointed by the lack of consideration for the customer and the effort made to ensure we had a pleasant evening. This began upon arrival and continued throughout the meal. I don't know if it was because we were easily identifiable as tourists or because we don't speak fluent French, even though we try. This is the first time, since we began regularly vacationing in France (at least once a year for over 10 years), that we have been treated like second-class customers. It's a shame this happened at "La Table des Baou." As for the atmosphere, we were seated below the terrace, in the charming little alleyway, and the food was truly excellent. For the cuisine: 5 stars, for the service: 1. Unfortunately, that only averages out to 3 stars!

Go without hesitation!
