l'Epicurien - Saint-Nicolas-de-Port

We were a table of 5 and the only guests in the dining room for a Saturday lunch. Doesn't help for the ambiance in this residential area.. Basic decor. Food could really be interesting but creativity does not always translate into good results. 33€ for the menu is not that expensive but create expectations for this kind of place. Royal of foie gras was a creme brûlée foie gras, and quite good but quid des purple guimauves,Watery and artificial flavors. Main dish and desserts were ok but again overdone. Better to focus on one good ingredient rather than adding original but not tasty extras

Our first night in st. nicolas and we knew that we had traveled from london that we had to book somewhere in advance. after we have viewed tripadvisor, we have booked l’epicurien by email. we are the first guests at 7.30. a location at the rande of the city, at the top of the mountain back and with views of the mosel Valley. it seems that the kitchen benefits from this view, as we saw on the parking lot in a rather austere room. first day of our holiday we went for a coupe de champagner. nicely served with an amuse bouche. eating was well presented, but not as good as expected. spargel made over complicated in the starter. the vene rarely was not even English rare, but medium. my modest size fish was served in a circle of excavated with carrot balls decorated on it. pretty, but not exciting. the expectations of the TripAdvisor reviews were unfortunately not met. nothing was badly executed, but nothing was extraordinary and the price was cumbersome.
