La Réserve

“Délicieuse cuisine et service efficace et agréable.”

Thomas Diez★★★

We had high expectations but found our evening at La Reserve to be rather average. The ambience was a bit too hotel-like. Service was slow, and the amuse gueule (a pea cappuccino) came seconds before the starters arrived. These were nice to look at, but would have been much better if the Tuna, for instance, had been freshly cooked rather than cold. The duck was overdone and the sides, based entirely on carrots, didn't quite work for me. Good desserts. All in all, a bit of a disappointment and the weakest of the restaurants we visited during our trip to Metz.

First, the positive aspect: The starters were okay. Negative: The glasses on the table were dirty, still showing lipstick marks from a previous guest. Main course: The cod was overcooked and dry like sand, and the carrots and purée had no salt at all. The broccoli was stone cold, even though it was chargrilled. The chicken was okay, but the “risotto” was basically plain rice with sauce. The spinach was raw and had no dressing or salt. Overall, the flavors made us feel more like we were in a senior residence than in a restaurant. Dessert: The cheese was ice cold, clearly straight from the fr

Went there to have a Christmas Eve meal and it was good. Plenty of food for a good price, however very classic and heavy and could benefit from a light and modern twist. Service was pretty good and fast. Wine suggestions by the glass were nice, I really liked the red. Cozy and modern venue with a calm ambience.
