Review of Café Français
Samantha Turner
Revised information from 10th April - Easter Monday - we kept waiting for our food for 2 hours. Would not prefer to drop by this venue on high traffic days. The pasta from the kids' menu was exceptionally cold with no cheese topping, had to request for cheese which was served separately, it didn't improve the flavor. The hamburger was damp and fell apart. In general, wouldn't vouch for this place on significant occasions. 'Patience being the key to fine dining' certainly applies to this eatery. Cuisine 🍽️ - Delectable dishes of top-notch quality accompanied by an array of wines and beers. Customer Service 💁- We visited the place for Christmas lunch therefore it was bustling and that affected the service. Food was freshly prepared but due to sluggish service, it was not sufficiently warm. Cuisine 🍴 We ordered 1) Christmas festive meal, the meals were packed with flavors and the portions were suitable for one individual 2) Hamburger - I opted for a medium well steak, the meat was soft, succulent and delicious 3) Scampi Pasta had a subtle taste but the scampi's were perfectly cooked. Setting 🛋️ - tidy and sophisticated with outdoor seating as well, well-equipped with heaters Location 📍9min stroll 🚶♀️from Hamilius bus 🚍/tram depot🚎. 5min stroll from Monterey parking 🚘. The restaurant is an adjunct of the French café hotel and is situated in the bustling city center. It provides a pleasurable experience with its well-curated menu and friendly staff. The ambiance of the restaurant is enhanced by its tastefully decorated interior, adding a touch of elegance to your dining experience. The outdoor seating area is perfect for those looking to enjoy their meal amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Moreover, the restaurant is conveniently located within walking distance from public transportation hubs and parking areas, making it easily accessible for city dwellers and tourists alike. The restaurant's extensive menu, coupled with its high-quality service, makes it a popular choice for celebratory occasions and festive meals. However, it's important to note that the service speed may be affected during peak hours or special occasions due to the high influx of customers. Nevertheless, the delicious and fresh food coupled with the warm and welcoming ambiance is sure to make your visit worthwhile.
