Saturday night in downtown Carmaux leaves a lot to be desired if one is in search of decent food, at least that is my experience. We walked the streets in search of anything but pizza and eventually found the Paradis d'Asie. The decor resembles an average UK Chinese takeaway, clean but hardly inspiring. Alarm bells should have rung when I read the menu which offered Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai food. My friends and I ordered four dishes: Sate Squid, Duck with Thai sauce, Skewered prawns, and Thai prawns. Regardless of the dish ordered everything arrived in the same gloopy sauce and tasted of MSG. We were all fairly disgusted considering the glowing reviews on this site. Service was fairly prompt but one member of our party waited almost 15 minutes for his dish by which time the rest of us had almost finished. The restaurant is obviously popular as by the time we left there was a huge queue of people waiting to collect takeaway food. Sadly, none of us will be repeat customers.
