We visited Lille Petra today for breakfast – with high expectations, as the café is beautifully and tastefully designed. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing.
The atmosphere was unexpectedly hectic and restless. Despite the visually appealing interior, it didn’t feel relaxed or welcoming.
The food felt conceptually unbalanced: high-quality ingredients, but lacking harmony. Instead of a thoughtfully composed breakfast, we were served separate items in small bowls – half an avocado, half a grapefruit, a boiled unpeeled egg, and two very thin slices of bread. It all came across as rather random and stingily portioned.
The café promotes a “seasonal and locally sourced” concept, but ingredients like avocado, grapefruit, ricotta, and sesame seeds didn’t quite fit that claim.
Service was friendly but disorganized. Our food arrived suddenly from two different directions, cutlery came later, and the bottled orange juice was served without a glass. The iced coffee included milk – which wasn’t indicated on the menu.
To pay, we had to queue up with take-away customers, which added to the sense of chaos and undermined the otherwise elegant setting.
In the end: far too expensive for what was offered. Despite the stylish atmosphere and decent ingredient quality, the experience as a whole was disappointing.
