apéti — Restaurant in Paris

We went in with good confidence due to high ratings but learned that this one is a bit more tricky.

Started with a soup, which was very forgettable unfortunately. All good ingredients, but in the end severely lacked salt and spices, it was very bland. After steadily adding more and more salt finally it became a bit better, but then it had already turned cold 🤦🏻

We had ordered Apeti bowl, very colorful and nicely presented, turned out to be quite tasty as well. Buy I really wish if it were a warm bowl and if I had known in advance that it was a cold bowl.

Then the lasagna. It was hot and nice, rich with flavors. That sort of made up for the other two.

With a few mixed results and because of slightly higher price tags, we didn’t feel like trying out the desserts during that visit.

We had the curry and the lasagna. Both were ok, but I agree with what some others have written here. The food is probably healthy, but it's bland, and the lasagna tasted nothing like lasagna.

While we were eating, two young people came in and sat down altough the waitress asked them to wait for a minute. The waitress got really upset and walked over to give them criticism. I get her to a certain extent, but the way she criticized them was totally uncalled for and it made the whole atmosphere in the room super weird.

However, on the other hand, the waitress was nice when she offered money back or extra food for free when another couple next to us didn't...

We walked past the restaurant one evening wanting to eat there but the owner was swamped with customers he requested us to wait a while so we chose to head elsewhere instead since we were hungry. When we walked back from the area a while later he saw us and apologised profusely and also insisted we take a few complimentary nibbles as a gesture from his side. He refused to accept any money and we were surprised to hear he is a huge fan of India and has visited the country several times. His warmth goes a long way in validating what travel is all about and we will make sure we visit his cute and well curated vegan, gluten free cafe on our...
