3 /5 Carlos Parra: After several attempts, we finally visited La Fresa Francesa. The place has an attractive charm, especially considering it’s located inside an old shopping center. We arrived a little before our reservation time, and the staff was friendly and attentive at the start. The menu is small, but it offers enough variety to choose from.
For our first course, we ordered the classic onion soup, gnocchi, and escargots. The soup arrived beautifully presented but only after more than a 30 minute wait. Eight minutes later, the gnocchi came out. Since they were going to get cold, we went ahead and ate them. We then told the waiter that after more than 45 minutes, it no longer made sense to bring the escargots. He replied that he hadn’t heard us when we ordered them, and that the dish had apparently come out later but the other waiter had no idea what was going on.
For the main course, we had the classic steak-frites, which we found just OK. We finished by ordering the profiteroles one of the main reasons for our visit only to be told they weren’t available. Not wanting to leave without dessert, we ordered the chocolate pot de crème.
To top it all off, when the bill arrived, an extra beer had been added by mistake.
Honestly, it’s unlikely I’ll return.
