Le Bistrot In Monopoli

11/08/2025: The food was good but not exceptional: some dishes seemed a bit bland, and the selection wasn't vast compared to other sushi restaurants we've been to. I found the dining room service to be very good: the staff were quick to take our orders, respectful of our privacy, and attentive to understanding when it was the right time to serve or clear away. At first, the dishes were a bit slow to come out of the kitchen (even though the place was almost empty), but strangely enough, as it filled up, it got quicker. The atmosphere is unusual: not modern, with a somewhat mixed style, low lighting, and a somewhat "dark" atmosphere. This isn't necessarily a flaw, but a little more harmony would help. We also felt a bit disoriented by the ordering system: paper menu + notepad + QR code on the table... in the end, we asked the waiters directly to get a better understanding. A definite plus is the lady at the cash register (perhaps the owner?) who's always smiling and kind, which contributes to a good impression. Regarding the price, I'd say it's fair for an all-you-can-eat option: since it was Sunday, we paid a little more than on weekdays, but it's still worth it. Overall, a decent experience: there are some good things and others that could be improved, but there's potential.

10/08/2025: I've been to this place several times and have always liked the quality of the food and the friendly staff. My favorites are the salmon and the grilled ramen...excellent. I also often get the €25 or €32 box to share between two for a nice dinner at home.
