We went with another couple for dinner at Le Cintra and it was so bad it was almost comical. When the four of us sat down at the table, they handed us one menu and told us they only had one menu in English for the entire restaurant so that’s how we started our dinner. We ordered our dinner and waited and waited and waited. We asked the waiter where the food was after about 30 minutes and he said “still cooking?” It finally arrived and it was adequate not great. We then waited for our pre-ordered desserts again a very long wait. When we asked the waiter where the desserts were he said he was sorry they were coming, but they never arrived so we canceled the dessert order and we’re just ready to leave. Would never go back to this restaurant. I don’t know if they were just having a bad night, but the service was terrible and the food was not very good.

Excellent customer service. Gorgeous food. Extensive menu that permits everyone to find a meal that suits their taste (and dietary needs). The wooden decor is charming with a bit of whimsical. We highly recommend!

We reserved with the Fork because they offered -50% . . . Once there, we check making sure the reservation was at the right name with the right system. When ask the bill, the manager didn’t honor the offer. We felt sorry for them. They need to steal to survive. An example of poor people doing a poor job. A shame for such a beatiful city. A shame for such otherwise good reputation

Beautiful setting on a meticulously designed terrace. Meals are very well presented, truly a feast for the eyes. The gateau de St Jacques was delicious with a flavourful crayfish sauce, and the quenelle of brochet very good. However, the lobster was slightly uncooked, making it too gummy and the risotto needed a bit more salt —an issue that could have been easily fixed if a waiter had been more readily available on the terrace. As for the dessert, it was very generous and the cake aux pralines was a delight, but I would suggest less chantilly next time, to better appreciate the cake’s flavour. The waiter was very courteous, smiling and charming, but not enough present outside to attend the potential extra such as salt, pepper ….
