    Last Friday, we went to Le Cornichon as a family and had a wonderful time. The whole team is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive. You feel right at home as soon as you arrive. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The dishes are excellent, prepared with high-quality ingredients, and there's something for everyone. A big thank you to the sommelier as well: the wine list is exceptional, and the wines he recommended were perfect. We made some truly great discoveries! This is a place we'll treasure and return to with great pleasure. I highly recommend it!

    A very bad experience. We came to have a drink on the terrace (where we usually go), even though it wasn't very busy. The waiter (a white man with blue eyes and a mustache) refused us service, saying the terrace was reserved for customers who were eating, while other people were simply having a drink. We felt we were treated differently and this situation made us feel discriminated against. I'm forced to give it one star to post this review, but in my opinion, it deserves 0/5.

    A very bad experience. My girlfriend and I came simply to have a drink on the terrace, when there were very few customers. The waiter curtly refused us entry, stating that the terrace was reserved exclusively for those dining. Yet, several tables were occupied by customers who were only ordering drinks. The most shocking thing was the way we were treated: we felt like we were being shown the door, without any consideration or coherent explanation. We felt humiliated and clearly treated differently from the other customers present. Such an unpleasant welcome and such a lack of respect are unacceptable. I will not be returning and I do not recommend this café/restaurant if you expect a minimum of courtesy and equal treatment.
