Au Bourgeon D’or — Restaurant in Paris

Very nice chinese restaurant. Some of the surrounding restaurants seemed uncomfortably crowded, but this one - although quite full - had still free tables and the staff seemed relaxed. The owner(?) did not speak much English, but there was an English translation of the menu and she was very friendly and helpful. I took the S9 (with rice and a Coke zero) and it looked even better than expected. It was also very tasty. My only criticism is that I wanted the dish spicy. She insisted that I only take it "a little spicy". I indicated that I like proper spicy food, but I did not argue with her since sometimes Chinese food is indeed very spicy for Europeans. This, however, was not a little spicy. It was not spicy at all. Based on this, I should have probably ordered very, very spicy. That was a bit disappointing, but otherwise, I was happy with everything. The dish did cost 11€ + 2€ for rice and the Coke...

Went to this restaurant today and supposed to pay for 14.5 euros. Their POS machine was somewhat not working so they asked me to pay through WeChat in Chinese currency. The female boss looked up the exchange rate online, and I saw a 114.25 yuan (Chinese currency) on her phone screen. However, she asked me to pay her 115 instead of a rounding-off 114. I went to this restaurant a lot of times and she knows me well so I was surprised she asked a little more. I paid 115 as she asked and didn’t say anything. I actually don’t care about the money at all, but I really see how calculating and bad she is as a business woman from such a small detail.

I often went there not because they provide great food, but only because the restaurant is so close to my apartment. Honestly speaking, very average Chinese food. Will never go...

I have been for a week in Paris, and almost every night I have had dinner in here. While one of the waitress didn't speak much English, another one spoke to me in English and also the last day recommended me what to eat. The food is really nice, and much more original Chinese than other Chinese restaurants where I have been. After a couple of days they already treated me as if I were a client from long time ago. Very kind people, delicious food, and nice place. Whenever I return to Paris, I will return to...
