La Cantine de Candie

Beautiful place, very pleasant terrace, large and comfortable tables, good food. Service could be improved.

It's a great compromise, allowing you to enjoy excellent cuisine in a pleasant and elegant setting while remaining affordable. The portions are very well proportioned, and the waiters and waitresses are very polite and friendly!

Fantastic place, great service, very friendly staff. The castle was magnificent, and the food was excellent too. Highly recommended.

Despite a superb setting and undeniable potential, the evening was not a resounding success. We waited over an hour and fifteen minutes just for an aperitif (and water, which we had to fetch from the bar). When the waiter finally brought it, he was followed by a second waiter with... the main courses. We told them we weren't in a particular hurry but that we didn't want to eat our main course with the aperitif, especially since we had ordered a bottle of wine. They offered to let us take the main courses home. So we were able to enjoy our aperitif! The main courses arrived much later: pieces of beef, uninteresting and poorly cooked. The terrace ended up in darkness, with some tables without lights. The cleanliness of the restrooms needs improvement. The serving staff seemed lost and inexperienced, with no manager in charge to guide them. Where was the owner? We explained our disappointment and received a gesture of goodwill; they told us, "You were lucky, you got your plates!" We really expected better, what a shame.

The setting is magnificent and the quality of the food is undeniable, but the experience was unfortunately ruined by the complete lack of temperature control. It was 30 degrees Celsius in the dining room, a stifling and simply unbearable heat that made the meal extremely uncomfortable from beginning to end. Only two standing fans for the entire room! This is a real disappointment for an establishment of this caliber, especially since the lack of responsiveness to this problem spoiled the dining experience. It's a shame, because the potential and the skill in the kitchen are clearly evident, but it's impossible to have a good time in such conditions.

We went to the restaurant as a family on the evening of July 13th. We waited an hour and a half to receive our five courses. The restaurant was very busy, but the staff didn't say a word to explain the reason for the wait. We had to get up once to ask for water. Then a second time, because it still hadn't been brought to us despite our repeated requests. Finally, after an hour and a half, we got up a third time to ask about our food, stating that we were ready to leave if the wait continued. Only then were our meals served. Once again, we were told that water would be brought to us, but it never arrived. Not a word from the staff or the waiter regarding this delay, even though we verbally expressed our dissatisfaction, making it clear that it wasn't directed at anyone in particular. Obviously, we didn't bother ordering desserts. No compensation was offered for the wait. We won't be returning, despite the beautiful setting.

It's rare that I'm disappointed by a restaurant. The setting is very nice, and it's only accessible by car. However, the wait is very long, far too long: We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for our main courses, with a total wait time of 1 hour and 30 minutes. We didn't even bother ordering dessert. The waiters could have provided some information, but unfortunately, we were left in the dark and without water, which is unacceptable in the summer. It's worth noting that the waiters were very friendly and went out of their way to provide good service to all the customers, but the kitchen had too many covers to serve. Regarding the meal, the mixed platter (large size) was well-stocked, although we were disappointed that the sausage was served whole, uncut. The meal itself was good, but the side dishes were a bit sparse for the poultry and fish. The interior rooms are very dark and not very pleasant in the evening with the air conditioning blasting while the doors are wide open to the terrace... As it stands, I cannot recommend the restaurant. There's nothing to compensate for the shortcomings. Perhaps we'll return and I could change this rating.

The setting is beautiful and the dishes are original and of fairly good quality for the price. But the service is appalling. We had a reservation for 8 pm, and by 9 pm we still hadn't been served anything, not even a carafe of water. Shameful for this kind of place.

A fantastic time shared, as always! Delicious discoveries, a lovely terrace, and attentive staff. Highly recommended for a romantic evening!

A truly wonderful discovery! The setting is particularly pleasant and perfect for a convivial atmosphere. The food is excellent, with flavorful and generous portions. As for the staff, they deserve special mention: welcoming, very friendly, and highly professional. You immediately feel at ease and perfectly taken care of. A place we happily recommend and where we will gladly return!
