    Toujours un plaisir gourmand de manger au Pois Penché. Délicieuse nourriture, bon service, bonne localisation, et magnifique restaurant. Mon seul bémol était le manque de décorations festives pour ce temps de l'année. Nous allions au Pois Penché pour un brunch du temps des fêtes festif et trouvions qu'il manquait un peu de décorations de Noel pour souligner le temps de l'année! Mais sinon, tout était parfait!
    Le Pois PenchéResponded 3 days ago
    Chère Audrey, un grand merci pour vos beaux mots. Nous vous faisons une promesse : l'année prochaine, Le Pois Penché sera décoré magnifiquement à l'intérieur. Nous décorons l'extérieur déjà. Nous avons eu un incident cette année. Nous avions commandé des décorations pour la salle et ce qui nous a été envoyé n'était pas à notre goût. Il a été trop tard pour nous reprendre. Leçon apprise pour 2025, Joyeuses fêtes ! Fede Directeur de l'hospitalité

    This was the first time I chose the Pois Penche for a business dinner after I read the reviews. It was also a cold day and we didn't want to walk outside for a long time especially as my visitors were out-of-town. The food was outstanding but the service was slow. One of my guests had his appetizer in front of him for at least 10 minutes if not longer before he got his wine to taste. It took another five minutes until he got a glass with the wine. We were there early and the restaurant got busier later but the waiter seemed to be chatting with his tables a lot. We also like to chat but it's much better with a glass of wine. As I said before the food was very good and I will probably come back but I hope next time the service will be better. Especially with business visitors you expect to have a perfect dinner.

    Hello, Christoph! Thank you for your kind review and for your on-point feedback. We are very disappointed that you received slow service. It's not the norm at Pois Penché. We have shared your comments with our team. Our waiters are eager to provide hospitality and make our guests feel at home, but it's important to remind them to be mindful of time. Usually, they achieve a good balance, but mistakes can happen. We hope we'll have an opportunity to recover from this error. We'd love to welcome you back. All the best and happy holidays! Fede Director of hospitality
