"I'd heard great things about the Cremaillère since its reopening so was eager to visit. However, it wasn't a very good experience at all. We all opted for the menu du jour with my father choosing soup and me and and my husband the mushrooms à la Grecque. Dad's soup came as a weeny portion in a large tureen which you had to tip to ladle into the bowl, like you would to get at the real scrapings of bigger tureen of soup. He said it was just OK and there was no bread offered. His starter was cleared before the drinks arrived and we were still waiting for our starter! Ours was just alright also. For the main we had a Mediterranean stule cod with chorizo and tomato and then really weirdly some sort of sprouted chia seedy ricey mush and soy sauce to go with it. Very odd fusion choice. I could only describe the cod as being rank. It had a very strong smell and taste of ammonia and for all the time it was on the table we were surrounded by masses of greenbottle flies, obviously attracted by the stink. The only redeeming feature was the Breton style salted caramel and palet au beurre tiramisu which was frankly delicious. I won't go again or indeed recommend, there are better local places to try."
