Bistrot Du Boucher - Arras

As you know I’m a normal child and I don’t go to restaurants everyday so when I was travelling through the north of France we stopped in Arras where we went to Bistrot Du Boucher. From the outside it looked quite nice but when inside it all changed. The walls were tea stained wallpaper and the table settings was a bit naff but the seasonal decorations – Christmas, were good because there wasn’t too much but they also looked a little tired.

Service 5/10 – They were quite friendly when we arrived. When we sat down the lady asked if we wanted any welcome drinks and we said yes and I got a coke and a pot of snacks for free and I thought that that was quite good. The toilets were quite nice and there were posh mirrors and it appeared quite new. When I ordered our proper drinks it took 5min 5sec  to get the drinks

Starter 5/10 – For the starter I ordered Goats Cheese on toast. The presentation was poor because it was just two bits of toast with goats cheese melted on it with no little garnish  on the side. But the taste was quite nice. The toast had a good crunch and the goats cheese has a good soft inside.

Main 6/10  - For the main I had seared salmon served with chips. But no greens I had no greens in the starter and now no greens in the main. But the salmon was lovely it was nicely cooked with seasoning but the chips were a letdown they were the frozen ones that get from the supermarket.

Desert  7/10 - Lastly for the desert I had strawberry and coffee ice cream. The coffee was really nice and strong and the flavour was magnificent and the strawberry was nice and fruity and really scrumptious. But guess what in the coffee and strawberry and ice cream there was a mint leaf. Finally something green!! But I didn’t eat because it was a mint leaf. And the presentation was perfect with two biscuit to go on the side.

Conclusion – overall the food wasn’t that good and if you are going for a posh night out I wouldn’t recommend it to you. So the final score was 23 standard. See you next time.
