فينشي- جدة مطالبة

As visitors to Jeddah, my wife and I were making our way to the corniche/beach area of the city and we fancied a drink and a croissant and we stumbled across this place which because of the location and the appearance seemed to fit. We ordered 2 coffees and 2 croissants with chocolate. The bill was 117 Riyals (nearly £30!!!) which is high even for the UK - so our expectations were high. ….the coffees came and looked very pretty and had lots of chocolate at the bottom of the cup and around the lip of the cups but the actual coffee was very short (- only a couple of sips!). After we had finished the coffees the croissants arrived and both were over cooked and one was burnt almost like dark brown leather colour on the top…the chocolate on top was a lighter shade. The plastic cutlery given to tackle the singed croissants was more fitting for a cheap takeaway than a cafe which is trying to be upmarket. The person who served didn’t even apologise over the fact that the croissants were burnt….a combination of the facts that they had taken a while to arrive, the server didn’t even acknowledge such a visually obvious defect and that we didn’t have the time for him to prepare another we didn’t complain and we left feeling overcharged for the quality. Positives: good chocolate Negatives: lack of quality of food, lack of acknowledgement, cheap plastic cutlery and very overpriced for the lack of quality.
