Le Bateau du Ch'ti - Arras

Friendly restaurant in the Place design Hero's. One of our main courses arrived cold but otherwise good.

Arrived early afternoon and it wasn't busy. The waiters etc ignored us and spent more time chatting. The plat du jour advertised on the board outside wasn't available which is OK but the food we ordered and received was not. Part way through eating it the waitress suddenly tried to remove our food which is bizarre and the quality of the wine was not good.

What would you do if you served someone a rotten rank oyster that they were foolish enough to put in their mouth and then immediately spat out on realising their mistake? I would as a minimum offer some more good free oysters and not charge for the ones ordered accompanied by profuse apologies. This 'restaurant ' did none of that, they just charged me the full amount. On complaint they knocked off 20% of the oyster bill for the one rotten one. In addition, my friends mussels were not great and faintly maloderous, the wine was all bit below par but marginally acceptable. Only rotten oyster ever in France. It stunk to high heaven, how they missed it I don 't t know.

Caesar salad was horrible Old salad, dried cold chicken, mayonnaise and boiled bacon ...

Sunday evening in terasse for 4 very good pass, dessert also I recommend, to try at least once
