Disappointing Experience at La Fine Bouche – Unacceptable Rudeness
My recent visit to La Fine Bouche in Bordeaux was unfortunately ruined by the exceptionally rude staff. While I was excited to try the food, the moment we arrived, we were met with unnecessary hostility.
We arrived about five minutes before our reservation, which is something I often do to ensure I'm on time. Instead of a simple "We're not quite ready yet," a female server immediately made a huge, dramatic scene. She reacted by shaking her head and speaking rapidly and forcefully in French with a clearly rude and condescending tone. Even though I don't speak fluent French, the body language and sheer theatrics conveyed her displeasure in a way that was completely unprofessional and unwarranted. She acted as if we had committed a grave offense by arriving slightly early.
This initial poor attitude was unfortunately followed by a very slow pace of service throughout the meal.We opted for thr 4 course tasting menu and it took nearly two and a half hours.
I cannot recommend a restaurant where the service is this arrogant and unwelcoming. Save your money and time for one of the many other wonderful establishments in Bordeaux that actually appreciate your business.
Rating: 1/5 (Solely for the location, as the staff deserves a 0)
