It is indeed an unexpected fine dining french restaurant in a rather quiet part of Kreuzberg. The first thing which I noticed was that Le Bon Mori gets it right when it comes to the cozy ambience. It is rather a low key for fine dining but somehow suits the neighbourhood vibe. Service was friendly and attentive. The menu is simple and helpful (albeit a few translation mistakes on English side), offering 3 course (€39) and 4 course (€45) set menu for people who hate to choose from a la carte menu.
The food was pretty good but not superb in general, though the starter dish of salmon ceviche was pretty good. Mussels with French fires as main were a bit underwhelming (I easily had a better version before elsewhere). Consommé soup was a bit disappointing in its small portion and the dessert Tiramisu was good but not as you expected.
Overall it was a fine choice considering the rather reasonable set price for fine dining. One specific problem we had was that the waiter kept opening new bottles of the same wines, and it ended up increasing the total bill. It would have been nicer if he had asked us if we wanted another bottle before opening new ones as we might have not needed or wanted to try another kind. But to be fair, we were a big group of people and someone in the group might have nodded when the waiter asked if he wanted to have more of the wine.
I'm sure this place is still not yet to its fullest potential, and I would be happy to come back here again when they have a new set of dishes. If you're looking for a good French in this neighbourhood with friendly service and chill atmosphere, Le Bon Mori should surely be the one!
