I was so excited when 'French Loaf' opened up in Velachery cos i've heard a lot about the one in Harrington road and badly wanted to try out, but cudnt due to the distance. The sandwich was not just another sandwich, it is different from what you would get in other cafes, more cos you get to choose what is in it. Its not as expensive as i thought it would be.
Well thats about it! i was so expecting to give 5 stars for this place when i walked in. The service let me down badly. The waiter acted cranky to be precise. He was so intrusive i was wondering if he's gonna dig into my sandwich basket at some point. I got so furious that lost my temper and my appetite.
The bakery looks like a 'McRennett'! Maybe i expected too much but 'French' reminds me of 'Sophistication' and definitely not localised ambiance/service. I guess that explains the inexpensive food. It is definitely not a premium place and does not attract such crowd for the same reason. For once, i atleast expected the waiter to speak in English (if not French you know!)
