Paul & Paulette — Restaurant in Fontainebleau

One of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. Was rudely told to leave after speaking to my mother on facetime, there were only 2 other people in the restaurant (both white of course) and since I am Indian (the owners are also Indian by the way) they chose to be racist instead of friendly saying I should speak outside when it was a very normal conversation like two people would have. From the very beginning, they were unfriendly and even called me crazy and told me "dafa ho" or get lost. Worst experience I have had in France and those of you who know me, and know I have travelled to over 40+ countries, this is probably the worst experience I have ever had. Only Indians pull other indians down, and they said if I was white I wouldn't have "behaved liked this" - "behaved" means talking to my mom by the way, and laughing with her and being happy. Also the food was horrible. Try being a little nicer to Indians next time, just because you live her doesn't make you superior. I am living here too, and not once has any non-indian in a restaurant EVER spoken to me like this. I had to leave in tears, and people around me (yes white french people), said speaking in restaurants is normal and they were being racist and unreasonable. Hope your restaurant flops, with this attitude...

I came to this shop today while traveling in France. I bought a drink and sat down to rest for a bit. I had just started listening to a voice message when the owner told me (rather sharply) that I couldn’t play audio out loud. I immediately put on my headphones out of respect.

I then quietly tried a small dessert I had bought from the bakery next door, and the owner again seemed upset — although I hadn’t heard him because I had my headphones on. When I later asked where the trash bin was, he responded rudely and said I should throw it outside and that he had told me “twice already.”

I was quite shocked by his tone and the way he publicly scolded me. I understand that every business has rules, but the attitude and lack of courtesy made me feel very unwelcome. This was an unpleasant experience and definitely not the kind of hospitality...

Truly was one of our highlights from our day trip to Fontainebleau! We came in to climb for the day and needed a quick stop for a meal beforehand. Right away, the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. The man that helped us had amazing English and was very kind. We ordered the chicken tikka masala and we were impressed! The espresso was also so yummy! The chef/owner was so helpful and kind towards the end, and offered to fill up our water bottles before we left. Overall, we left fed...
