Restaurant de la Carpe
Friesen
31/05/2026: Quick and very pleasant service, delicious fried carp.
Friendly staff.
I recommend it.
31/05/2026: An absolutely catastrophic experience at Restaurant de la Carpe, avoid it at all costs.
Let's start from the beginning: I arrived at noon. I was served at 2:30 PM. Yes, you read that right. A TWO AND A HALF HOUR wait for food. At this point, it's no longer lunch, it's being held hostage. I could have caught the carp myself, cooked it, and gone home.
Speaking of which, let's talk about the "signature dish": the carp. Bland, tasteless, unseasoned, soulless. It's as if they grabbed a fish from a puddle and threw it on the plate without even considering whether it tasted good. For a restaurant named "La Carpe" (The Carp), it's quite a paradox not to know how to cook it properly. All that for this, after a two-and-a-half-hour wait.
But the worst was yet to come: dessert. I ordered a Dame Blanche, a classic of French cuisine that ANY self-respecting professional knows. As a reminder to the kitchen staff, who clearly skipped their basic cooking classes: a Dame Blanche is vanilla ice cream, hot chocolate, and whipped cream. PERIOD. No fruit. It's literally in the name: "WHITE."
So they bring me something with a million pieces of fruit on it. I politely point out the mistake, and then comes the kicker: they explain that it's MY FAULT because I didn't "let them know" that I didn't want fruit. Seriously? I have to tell them now that a Dame Blanche doesn't contain fruit? Do I also have to point out that black coffee isn't supposed to be green?
And when you dare to make the slightest comment, the owner speaks rudely, in an aggressive and contemptuous tone. No manners whatsoever, no concept of customer service. You feel like you're intruding by eating in your own restaurant.
The funniest thing about all this is the pretension. Clearly, the chef fancies himself a haute cuisine chef, but the gap between his stated ambitions and the reality on the plate is simply comical.
The cherry on top: "The photos and description are not contractual." Fantastic. So you can serve anything, any old way, make people wait two and a half hours, and flout the most basic rules of French cuisine, all while being unpleasant, and then hide behind a legal disclaimer to avoid taking any responsibility.
No self-reflection, no apologies, no professionalism. Endless service, bland dishes, a disastrous dessert, and an unpleasant, pretentious owner. The perfect combination.
If you value your palate, your time, or your sanity, steer clear. Absolutely avoid.
Zero stars if that were possible.
