By far the most disappointing experience of our trip--and we were in Paris when there was is a strike on all public transport. First, the menu was very confusing and no one tried to help us guide through it. But I wish that was the end of our travails. We ordered the mushroom soup as the appetizer. It was by far the most bland thing I have ever tasted. In some sense, I am impressed by how they were able to suck every flavor out of an inane soupe aux champignons. For our main, we ordered the popular burger (€3 supplemental price) and the fish fillet. The burger was the ying to the fillet yang. The burger was so sizable that it couldn't fit in Hagrid's mouth--of that, 75% was a hard brioche bun. Inside the burger were some
unconventional ingredients--pickled carrots, hollandaise, pickled onions, no tomatoes, and cheese soaked lettuce--making one last cry to be avante garde. After two bites, I decide to take some mercy on my palate, which at this point, would have preferred the bland mushroom soup ironically. Now the yang--fish fillet. It was even more bland than the aforementioned soup. I am willing to bet that the chef just threw the fillet in a pound of butter. But wait, there is a side of rice--at least I can have that. No. There is a reason why basmati rice shouldn't be made like arborio rice. It was raw, broken, and unsurprisingly bland.
To add insult to injury, I was charged extra for a dessert even though after the appetizer and the main, we have had enough. When I protested, I was just handed back the change with a side of merci beaucoup.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to someone you hate.
