    Unfortunately on this occasion our experience at Bouchons was not good The vegetarian choice was very limited and so came down to the breaded celeriac which was barely warm,tasteless and poorly presented . The fish dish was also not as warm as required. The side dish of vegetables was not as varied as described The soup was hot and tasty Service was prompt and efficient but we had the feeling that we were doing the restaurant a service. When asked at the end of the main course about our meal we were told we should have pointed out the issues earlier.No apology or reparation was offered
