Le Bee Maï — Restaurant in Gex

Terrible experience, we stayed a hotel close by and the three of us went to have Vietnamese beef noodles. We spent about 53.5 Euros, and the gentleman (I believe the owner), took my 100 bill, gave me a 15eu paper bill, and gave the rest back in coins. He said that they didn't have any paper bills, despite the fact that the restaurant was busy. Then, I counted the coins, and he shortchanged me 10 euros. He apologized and gave me another 10 in coins. It looks like he did this on purpose to confuse tourists. The food was also terrible. It was too salty and oily, and the portions were too small. Did not meet the standards of any other place in other countries I have visited.

Terrible expérience, nous avons séjourné dans un hôtel à proximité et nous sommes allés manger des nouilles au bœuf vietnamiennes. Nous avons dépensé environ 53,5 euros et le monsieur (je crois le propriétaire) a pris mon billet de 100, m'a donné un billet de 15 euoros et a rendu le reste en pièces. Il a dit qu'ils n'avaient pas de facture papier, malgré le fait que le restaurant était occupé. Ensuite, j'ai compté les pièces et il ne pas rendre toute la monnaie (10 euros). Il s'est excusé et m'a donné 10 autres pièces. On dirait qu'il l'a fait exprès pour dérouter les touristes. La nourriture était aussi terrible. C'était trop salé et gras, et les portions étaient trop petites. Ne répondait pas aux normes d'un autre endroit dans les autres pays que...

I strongly suggest you skip this place.

The service was very slow and not attentive; the food was below average (just avoiding stronger expressions); they forgot to bring the desert we ordered (because they didn’t write down the order); prices are like it is in Geneva or Zurich but everything is just so bad (interior, food, service). To pay with a card I had to go around the place, get in, and wait. You cannot afford to get another terminal? Or bring it to your guests?

So what do you charge for?

You have pre-cooked vermicelli I saw in the kitchen, you have pre-cooked sauces in huge containers. It is a very low-level place that charges you like it is a Michelin-starred restaurant. 5€ for 0.33 of Coca Cola. Lol. Tiny cocktail.

I have no idea how this place has like 4.2 and ANY visitors. Maybe because the other places in the area were closed, so people were forced to go...

I must say, I did not have a good time here. It is a very cramped restaurant, so it can be very loud and overwhelming when there are a lot of people, you can feel lack of space. When I first entered the restaurant, it is very confusing because I was not greeted and there is not a clear podium to wait for staff. So I sat down at a free spot, and then was rudely told by one of the staff “NO, don’t sit there!” and moved to a table squished next to a group of 8. The food was not particularly tasty to me either. Maybe the experience is better if you go with a larger group or perhaps depends on which dish you order. I do not...
