A German-themed restaurant that prides itself on 'authentically world class food' has come under fire after defending a plate of nachos a customer believed was 'a total rip off.'

Ashlin McCamish ordered a $15 plate of nachos from Elmar's in the Valley in Perth yet was left astounded with what she was served.

The serving was a handful of nachos on a small plate that was sparingly sprinkled with cheese and chilli sauce, which appeared to have been microwaved.

Ashlin McCamish took to Facebook to share her disgust at shelling out $15 for what appeared to be a handful of nachos at a German-themed restaurant in Western Australia

Elmar's in the Valley in Perth has faced a backlash on social media after defending the barren dish

The menu says the $14.90 meal is served with cheese sauce, chilli sauce, cheddar and Parmesan yet the image posted from the Perth diner showed it was seriously lacking these ingredients

The incensed customer took to Facebook and shared an image of the unladen dish to the establishment's Facebook page brandishing them 'a total rip off' while voicing her anger.

She also suggested she was deemed not worthy of 'decent service' after being mistaken as part of a wine tour.

To the disbelief of the online community, the restaurant responded to the photo defending the meal.

'Our version of nachos is not a soggier kind that you are accustomed to that has loads of sauce,' the restaurant responded.

'We have opted to sell a European version which showcases corn chips and not copious amounts of sauce.'

They went on to dispute Ms McCamish's claim that she wasn't part of a wine tour.

The Perth restaurant is a popular venue for beer lovers, who can wash down their meals with steins of beer.

'Looking at our records here, you did appear to arrive on a wine tour,' they revealed.

Even though the European-style eatery did apologise to the customer for not being happy with their meal, this didn't stop other Facebook users laying into the restaurant.

'European version? You are surely taking the p***. Just admit it's not good enough and apologise. Don't go making these p**** poor excuses,' one angry post read that garnered over 100 likes.

'I've travelled around Europe multiple times and can 100% say that Nachos in Europe definitely do not look like 4 year old child made them,' another user wrote.

In response to the Perth diner's defence, the cheesed-off customer offered a diplomatic reply.

'I'll make you a deal; I'll be back once your nachos improve in quality. Until then, we'll have to agree to disagree,' she said.
