100 Patates

100 Patates – or, 100 Potatoes, if that wasn’t obvious from the many pictures of potatoes. What’s less obvious is how awesome this place is. I walked in just before noon and found the place almost empty, but by the time I was putting in my order, every seat in the restaurant was filled with locals.
Expect a cross between French and German cuisine, but a stronger lean on the German side. The menu is quite extensive, including many dish names I wasn’t familiar with, but what WAS certain was that regardless of what you order, your meal will most definitely include some combination of 1) Potato + 2) Meat + 3) Cheese. You’d be surprised at how many different permutations the Alsatians have figured out for this trio.
What I ordered included a baked potato covered in cheese, with 4 types of sliced meats (salami, pepperoni, ham, and prosciutto) on the side. Not to be outdone, the meal also came with enough sliced vegetables to ensure a day’s worth of nutrition.
My friend got the Cheese Fondue – which also came with a baked potato, sliced ham, and a vegetable spread. I actually preferred this Cheese Fondue to my baked potato + cheese waterfall.
First off: the potatoes are fantastic. Flakey? Flavorful? Yes, yes. 100 Patates does potatoes right. The meats were delectable as well. Though I rattled off «salami» and «ham» above, these are not your standard grocery store cold cuts. Sure, they technically still are cold cuts, but these meats have more substance and more flavor. Indeed, this is real food, rather than your standard sodium + nitrate-​fest. And lastly, the cheese. Hot damn, this is some good cheese! The potatoes and meat might make you think you’re in Germany, but the cheese fondue reminded me I was still very much in France.
Portions are delightfully monstrous. I didn’t even get a full course, and it was still way too much food for me. …but seeing as this was to be my last meal in France, I sprung to the dessert menu and ordered what was the equivalent of a Chocolate Lava Cake. This was awesome as well! Soft, gooey in the center… it felt real, and not as if had been nuked out of a freezer.
Authentic, reasonable, and filling. This is not a tourist trap, but real food, catering to real locals, and a great way to enjoy some regional specialties.

Excellent
Cadre et décoration très sympathiques, cuisine toujours très bonne je n’ai jamais été décu en mangeant ici. Un café gourmand a tomber par terre avec une mousse au chocolat blanc et un crumble avec fruits de saison vraiment trop délicieux. Service rapide et serveur très agréable. A recommander en couple ou en famille.

Nouveau concept de son genre
Un ami m’a invité à tester ce nouveau concept et bien croyez moi on en ressort changé ! C’est 100 patates. Tous nos sens (odorat, toucher) se mettent en éveil. Le côté tactile est primordial, on se touché pour goûter les plats de l’autre, on échange nos impressions avec son décor unique de son genre. Sans oublier de remercier son personnel, sont toujours là à nous écouter et nous servir à temps.

Rapide et efficace
Restaurant pratique par sa situation, le midi bien sûr ! Parce qui est du soir il faut avoir envie et surtout être accompagné pour oser aller dans cette petite rue désertée de Metz la nuit. Assiette copieuse, pas de surprise on sais ce que l’on mange. Je pourrai conseiller se restaurant au groupe et grande tables qui on un budget serré pour un repas entre collègues ou autre. Café gourmand idéal en fin de repas.

Je reste sur ma faim avec un menu à 24 €
Détail du menu: Entrée: ½ tranche de jambon blanc (hard discount), une tranche très fine de jambon sec, 4 rondelles de chorizo, 1 cornichon, 4 tomates cerise; plat: une pomme de terre recouverte de fromage chaud, salade verte, carotte, choux râpé; dessert: crumble au prune en vrac dans l’assiette avec un tas de chantilly. Une bouteille de blanc sucré à 17.50 € pour l’apéro sans cacahuètes et sans sourire. Je né recommande pas ce resto, à exclure de votre carnet d’adresse…
