Well, I was planning on trying this restaurant, but I will cross it off the list. Thanks for letting us know Meg. – Erica

Loved your review. First the build up and then, reality,done in a funny way.
It takes a lot of confidence to express an evaluation that goes against the prevailing opinion.Bravo

Thank you for this! There is nothing better than displeasure expressed through haiku. Love it!

You might just be saving me a chunk of $$$. I’d be willing to spend the 85E for dinner (although I was thinking it was 65E)if it was special but after laughing at your haiku, I have decided to cancel my resevration and go with either L’Epigramme or something else! Any suggestions?

great presentations for such “I just threw-up in my mouth a little” creations! Maybe they thought it was April Fool’s- or they just did it so you could put up this brilliant review. Thanks for the lol’s

Hi Meg: Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience at La Bigarrade. Some of these flavor combinations sure do look a little funky.

My experiences there have been pretty positive, but I’ve only gone for lunch. Out of curiosity, what time was your dinner seating? It’s my understanding that the restaurant orders a limited number of seasonal ingredients, much of which arrive as a surprise, and creates dishes impromptu without much planning. A lot of times there are tables with completely different tasting menus. I wonder if your meal essentially suffered from the “left overs?” No excuse either way.

This review was hilarious …

I just found your blog, thanks to someone (Pim) pimping you on Facebook.

It has made me the happiest boy in Christendom.

I think restaurant review expressed in haiku is possibly the best thing to happen to criticism in ages.
