Jamin Glenn reviewed French Cooking School
I am an amateur culinary enthusiast and finally decided to take a more formal culinary course to hone my skills. I also wanted to get some advice from a real chef, so this was my first foray into the world of culinary institutions and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision with Poul's French Dining School in Brittany. First off, Poul is an extremely good chef, amazing teacher and is filled with a wealth of knowledge of all things food and the restaurant business in general. Second, Poul and Niall are the most generous hosts and genuine people I have ever met. Conversation was never dull and my drink was never dry. Lastly, I would be hard pressed to find a more gorgeous home and kitchen. It has all the feel and authenticity you would expect from a 15th century home in the Bretagne countryside, yet with all the amenities of the 21st century. Whether you are a novice or experienced chef you will learn something here and have an amazing experience in the process, I can guarantee it. I'll certainly be coming back for more. Highly recommend A
Dan Beames reviewed Buffalo Grill Bourgoin Jallieu
I had the misfortune to recommend this restaurant chain to friends having eaten in another Buffalo Grill, this was a mistake. Service was very slow, cutlery and glasses were visibly dirty, the tapas starter was soggy and dry at the same time (which isn’t an easy thing to achieve), the steak was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside and the salad was a few leaves tucked under the steak.l which meant it was partially cooked, like the steak. One positive was the beer was cold but it took such a long time to reach the table that my mouth was so dry from the starter that it had little affect.
If it was possible to give this restaurant zero stars I would. Awful.
