"A meal at the Cafe Delancey...What a disaster! I had booked a table for a Saturday evening but the restaurant was practically empty, except for an another couple who left shortly after we got there. The setting itself is very nice... a pity for the food and the price! I got a goat cheese salad and my partner got a Caesar salad for starters: How much oil can you put on a salad? Then we both got the chicken with mushroom sauce and rosti: The chicken was boiled! The mushroom sauce out of a tin and not a good one! and the rosti was burned! The menu is limited to 8 starters( ?6-8) and 5 main courses ( ?11-13), the service is obviously very quick as the restaurant is empty! I had booked that restaurant following the read of a critic saying :'Top nosh French Swiss food' Don't even considered going there, it will probably close down soon anyway!"
