Restaurante Mirador de San Isidro
My recent lunch experience at this establishment was nothing short of disappointing. The highlight of the meal turned out to be the snacks provided upon ordering drinks, setting a low bar for the rest of the dining experience.
While initially pleasant, our waiter's demeanor shifted once it became apparent that he was more interested in upselling dishes rather than ensuring our satisfaction.
The calamari, touted as a house specialty, arrived undercooked and unpleasantly gooey, so much so that even a child refused to eat it. Despite requesting a recook, the same unappetizing consistency remained unchanged.
The oxtail, another menu item we ordered, was disappointingly dry and devoid of flavor. To add insult to injury, the waiter mistakenly brought three plates to our table instead of the one we had ordered, displaying a lack of attention to detail.
The octopus dish failed to impress, tasting as if it had been hastily defrosted and microwaved. Even the croquettes lacked flavor, leaving much to be desired in terms of culinary execution.
While the restaurant attempted to rectify the situation by offering a complimentary aperitif, we declined, skeptical of whether it was a standard practice or merely an attempt to salvage the meal after the fact.
Overall, this dining experience fell far short of expectations, with subpar food quality and lackluster service leaving a sour taste in our mouths.

Bistrot Arlequin
This bistrot is a true gem. The food is absolutely delicious, with every dish properly prepared and bursting with flavor.
The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service is top-notch.
The menu offers a great variety of options, and I particularly enjoyed the steak tartar, it was seasoned well and had plenty of flavour.
The tarts Tatin and the crème brûlée can be improved in my opinion, which is why I can’t give it a 5*
I highly recommend this bistrot to anyone looking for a enjoyable dining experience

La Vie en Rose
Boring, bland and worst service than back home in France!
The decor and ambient of this big open space basement restaurant were boring. I couldn’t figure out if they were trying to go with a French bistro or French home kitchen concept. I felt more in a soup kitchen than anything else
The food was bland, but the presentation was not even worth the effort.
We preferred the foie gras which had half of the portion pure fat. They most likely served us the end part, which unless one enjoys only eating fat, I cannot recommend it.
The snails were bland in taste and had more butter than snails - imagine a bowl with only melted butter and a couple of snails to fish after. Even in other places where they can’t get Bourgogne Snails due to their size, they at least add 2 snails to each shell.
During our meal, bread was served which was not fresh. It was soft and mushy. A French restaurant should know that bred is served with a crunchiness to it. Anything else is savageness.
The main part had similar qualities to the starters.
The boeuf bourguignon had a nice yet unpractical presentation. However, 3 fine of meat won’t satisfy anyone's taste buds.
The entrecôte was rubbery at best - I had better meat quality at the corner street taco. The bearnaise sauce was a mashed clump of fat with a little estragón sprinkled on top. Imagine butter taken out of the fridge 10min before serving and hacked with a fork.
The service was absurdly considered we are in Mexico. Not even in France do they provide such laisser-faire service.
We were asked for drinks only at the beginning, and not once more during the en tired meal. We had to ask for new cutleries when they took our used ones away and never brought new ones after the next meal arrived.
Even after we finished the bread, no more was served with the foie gras. Though we are no cavemen, a little bread to a foie gras is the least addition to be offered.
The two stars are for the originality of the name and location. All other aspect was a failure to never experience again.

Le Petit Resto
We went to this restaurant based on recommendations. However the whole experience was rather bland.
We decided to sit outside first, but due to the big street it was not as cosy. We decided to move inside, however they is a lack of air circulation, so it felt like sitting in the actual kitchen. The air felt greesy
The food was not as expected based on the reviews. The cassoulets was more a soup of beans and lacked protein. The snails was nothing to brag, due to lack of garlic/butter.
The service was great though, but won’t qualify as a quality French restaurant.
