Andre gang vi er på Chez Colin, og de leverer som bare det. Strålende god service fra første øyeblikk, herlig atmosfære i lokale. Vi delte en tartar til forrett, frisk og lett og deilig - sammen med et glass cremante var det nydelig. Til hovedrett gikk kona for sole meuniere med deilig hvitvin til. Nydelig, sammen med en vilt god potetmos og deilige salat. Jeg gikk for entrecôte med rødt i glasset, fikk utsøkt fries og deilig bearnaisesaus. Sykt godt det hele, anbefales på det sterkeste!
En nydelig opplevelse! Veldig koselig restaurant som vi endelig fikk besøkt. Ble tatt imot av veldig hyggelige ansatte. Et glass cremant mens vi gikk gjennom menyen, mange fristelser. Vi gikk for gåselever og tartar til forrett. Helt nydelige smaker, gåseleveren smeltet i munnen og tartaren er muligens den beste eg har spist. Fransk landpølse og skatevinge til hovedretter, alt smakte fantastisk. Skatevinge var en ny opplevelse, veldig godt sammensatt rett med viner som matcher maten . Dessert ble det ikke plass til, men et glass Rivesaltes vin var perfekt som avslutning på måltidet. Takk for oss.
Unser Abend im Chez Colin war für uns wie ein kleiner kulinarischer Ausflug nach Frankreich. 🇫🇷✨ Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich, stilvoll und angenehm entspannt genau der richtige Rahmen für einen genussvollen Abend. Die Speisen waren hervorragend zubereitet, klassisch französisch und geschmacklich wunderbar abgestimmt. Man merkt sofort die Qualität der Zutaten und die Liebe zum Detail. Auch der Service war aufmerksam und herzlich, sodass wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben. Für uns ein wunderbarer Abend mit feiner Küche und besonderem Ambiente. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! 🍷✨
Fantastisk sted med nydelig mat og utrolig hyggelig personale!
Love the atmosphere and the people working in this restaurant, simply lovely. However, I guess I chose the wrong timing for my visit. The skin fried seabass with ratatouille, olives, veal jus and crème fraîche cream did not deliver. The skin was soggy and the crème fraîche cream came on a bruschetta that simply did not mix with the rest of the dish. The ratatouille was too much in flavor and too little in texture. The dish simply lacked balance and texture. We had crème brûlée which was so undercooked that we could simply not eat it.
