2.5/10Underserved. Over sold. Sad way to end our week stay and not at all comparable to the excellent and authentic dining experience we had in every other cafe and restaurant. The ending was most upsetting. The waiter publicly pressured us for a 20% tip after an evening of trying to upsell us and very mediocre service and food. Go elsewhere. They are seeking tourists to take advantage of.

8.5/10The food and Ambience were excellent, service was great up until it was time to get the check. It arrived 40 minutes after I requested it and only after a second request.

6/10Place is really charming, beautiful interior, but a couple of things were disappointing: The food, while beautifully presented, was somewhat lacklustre in taste, especially at that pricepoint. The wine pairing was, however, wonderful. Our waiter was polite, but visibly disappointed when we did not go for his recommendations. He recommended a glass of champagne (twice), and when asked about the tasting menu, he really tried to convince us of the superior menu, which to us was too much (both in # of dishes and cost). He carried on in a curt manner, and at times seemed in a hurry, and asked if we were done with a dish or glass of wine. At one time he even urged my companion to finish up a glass. This is rather needless in an otherwise fine restaurant. To counter, we interacted with two other waiters for water and wine, and their energy and behaviour was warm and friendly. With few adjustments, the quality of the food could aspire to the next level.

10/10A fantastic restaurant, highly recommended. The food was exceptional with tasty cocktails to start and a nice bottle of French white wine from their extensive wine list. Definitely worth a visit to try their tasting menu. The best dish we enjoyed was the artichoke one. Exceptional.

8.5/10We had a lovely time, food was great, very charming interior. Only negative was that I was charged 50 Euros for champagne that I thought was part of the wine pairing. The service attendant did not mention there would be a charge. I would certainly would go back but make sure I understand what I am being charged for.

9/10The Christine is a wonderful place to gain a new food experience. I am not a foodie and some of the dishes seemed average to me. The main meat dish didn't have much flavour, while the fish was delicious. I think it's great to experience all the flavours playing off each other and the wine. However, you should be prepared for the fact that not all the dishes will be amazing. Nevertheless, decide for yourself if you are willing to spend ~300 euros for the menu and wine.

10/10Best experience ever! the service, the atmosphere, the Food! I would also like to mention, that the wine paring there was another level. I can be sometimes very picky, but here in Le Chcristine, can't possibly complain. If you experience wine paring, you may get the feeling of perfect matching in maybe 2-3 courses and you are satisfied. In Le Christine, you get that satisfaction for each paring. I highly recommend Le Christine.
