The apartment that I am living in for the summer is located right by Le Viaduc Cafe, so I was interested in stopping by at least once.
One thing that I really like about this place is that they showed the World Cup matches on a huge screen and the entire restaurant felt like a little community. I was able to catch the final match between Germany and Argentina there and it was really fun!
However, my friends and I showed up around 8:45pm for the 9pm game and ordered a few drinks which came at a decent time. A few other friends joined us later on and that was when the problems started. Granted that there was only 1 waitress for the entire patio section, the service was still extremely slow and careless. My friend had ordered a cheese plate before the place was full and after waiting for 30 minutes it still didn't show up. The waitress was unable to give us an explanation for the restaurant's inability to perform the simple task of placing cheese slices on a platter. She ended up getting a cheeseburger that she said was pretty good. Other friends ended up waiting over an hour food. When the time came around for us to pay, she charged something twice and initially forgot to include 2 things on the bill.
Lastly, I hate to point this out but it is completely necessary. For the two times that I've been to the restaurant, I've seen a mouse crawl around each time. A friend was justifying that it is indeed the "viaduct cafe", which means that they may not be able to do anything about it, but it was still shocking to see.
While it was understandably a very busy night, the careless nature of the restaurant was off-putting.
