L'estragon Aarhus

05/04/2026: The food was great okay, fish for the main course great but the fish in the starter tough and tasteless, the soup was good. Vegetables for the main course were hard and poorly cooked. Dessert fine.

31/03/2026: Mefisto is a place that knows its stuff. They make really delicious food and they are masters at matching the right wine. The service is usually excellent and you can be sure of a smiling service every time. A few waiters are more stingy with their smiles, but it seems more like personal insecurity than, for example, apathy or arrogance. The atmosphere is cozy and good. If you are lucky enough to sit in the Salonen, you can enjoy the specially decorated room that buzzes with French and maritime sensations. However, you can also be unlucky and sit right next to their small 'kitchen area' where the waiters make coffee and constantly rattle with service and chatter. This is perhaps what you can expect (although it can certainly seem disturbing) but what bothers the most is the unbearable doorbell that constantly rings in said tea/service kitchen every time someone goes in and out of the front door. It's not a small ping, but that 90's doorbell that plays a whole melody of a carillon. This means that you can't enjoy the atmosphere or even just hear the pleasant music that is played out of the speakers. A huge shame. But the food and the wine and the rest of the atmosphere at most other tables than right there, you can't put your finger on. But that doorbell there, something needs to be done about it, otherwise they will lose customers.
