Ресторан Citronelle

Un restaurant très stylé avec une déco des années 20. Très parisien. Pas beaucoup de table mais très bien décoré. Service impeccable, attentionné. Très romantique. L’équipe est très professionnelle, attentionnée et extrêmement gentille. La classe. Les huîtres Gillardeau sont comme attendues fraîches et très bonnes. Avec une petite sauce d’oignons marinés sucrée salée. Le fois gras est une tuerie. Prix abordables même indescants pour cette qualité : ils devraient être plus hauts.

Extremely poor service, with waiters only trying to make you order expensive bottles, and reminding you at the end of the meal that service is not included in the ticket. Food was fine but took a while to arrive and was in my case cold. Portions are medium to small. The experience feels like a rip-off.

I wanted to love Citronelle. The location is lovely (across from the opera house) and the decor is charming, both in the dining room and on the terrace. The menu is one of those menus where you just want to order everything! It all sounds so good! I don't know if maybe I made the wrong choices, but the experience just didn't live up to my (admittedly high) expectations. Wine: There are only a few kinds of wine available by the glass. Of the three whites, one wasn't available. I chose the Sancerre, which was okay but nothing exceptional. Starter: I had the scallops. They were so tender and perfectly cooked. But the spinach sauce they were served in was a tad too salty and had too much oxalic acid (you know, when you eat spinach and it makes your teeth feel weird). Main course: I chose the sea bass at the waiter's recommendation. The fish itself was dry, lukewarm and tasteless. It was served with three kinds of tapanade, and then there was a cold (intentionally) side sauce to pour over the dish. The tapanades and the sauce we all good, but somehow they did not compliment each other in the dish. The result was a kind of disjointed flavour experience. It wasn't bad, but it was not harmonious either. Bottom line: I don't mind at all to pay for an extraordinary dining experience, but in the end this was the most expensive dinner of my five-night stay in Kiev, and among the least exceptional. Maybe I was just unlucky? I would give it another try if I had the chance.
