Le Pralin - Table reservation

The atmosphere is good and so was the food -typically Haute Savoie - heavy, robust filling - nothing subtle - honest grub.But the Bourgogne - at €29 was terrible. I asked if it was recommended and although that is like asking 'Is the Pope from Bavaria?' I was told it was very good.It was light in colour and tasted acidic and lacking in any depth. A restaurant has the responsibility to choose all ingredients of the meal carefully, with the customer's taste bud's in mind. If it is not possible to buy a burgundy at the price customers in an ordinary restaurant, such as the Praline, will pay then choose another region. Make the wine enhance the meal - make it good value and make them come back. Cheap tough meat [ which was not the case here] would be bad for business - somehow restaurateurs think they have a right to make a large profit on wine - quality ignored.This wine was probably €7 and marked up to €29 - 400%. Customers can, on occasions, be in a position where they cannot complain; guests sensibilities and recommendation where the reasons here. So, politely, we agreed 'this wine is one to be drunk with food', meaning the food will mask the taste.This was bad business - if the wine was better tasting and value we would have had two.France has a problem with wine. Because it is reluctant to import New World wines there is a reliance on mediocre to poor home wines in the lower price bracket.Beer is good and will go well with the rustic style - I think.

İt was extremely bad experience, we ordered "entrecote" to be cooked "well done". After 20 min our meals came, entrecote was not "well done", it was almost like raw meat, we called the waiter and shared our disappointment, he shared this with the owner and then owner came and started to debate wıth us, she was extremely rude with increased tone of voice. All other customers were shocked because of such rude, impolite customer servıce...... Big disappointment, exteremely rude customer service...... We will not go there again, I do not recommend going there.

We have eaten here a couple of times this week and it has been very good. I am a well-known salad-dodger and even I really enjoyed that today, mainly because is was full of bacon and egg. And the wifi works which is always a bonus. Note to the waiter though (and all other waiters) - if I speak French to you, please respond in French. For me it is a bit of an insult to be spoken to in English when I am making an effort.

We only wanted a pizza so decided to give Le Pralin a try. The conservatory looked ok on a wet night- light and airy but hardly anyone there.My wife decided on an Italian pizza- with Bresaola.When it came it was a Margarita with no Bresaola in sight. My Napoli pizza was not much better. Left as soon as we could and had coffee and desert elsewhere( Les Sapins - a great place)
