Au Métro — Restaurant in Paris

Dreadful. Just a turist trap. A part from being expensive for the infimous food quality one gets, the waiters are rude to the point of being amusing. The amusement would almost motivate a second star.

I went there for dinner and to watch a football game once before and I found it very disappointing, but after this evening's experience I think we went beyond that.

I made up my mind very late about watching a football game, so even though with some doubt, I entered in this place and asked if there was space for dinner. The first waiter told me to ask to another waiter, it was not his job. I wait for some minutes and then finally the second waiter replies and says to ask to another waiter, not his business. I wait for another five minutes and the third waiter sends me back to the second. I then ask again to the second waiter whether there was a free table for me to have dinner adding that his collegue suggested I talk to him again. The guy suddenly stops, much more reactive than the first time, and says, literally: "Man, what do you want from me?" and I: "I'd just like to know if there was a free table for dinner but..." he interrupts me: "That is not my problem." After which, I walked off the place and had my dinner plus football game in a nicer place nearby.

As I...

In our Paris experience, we were treated most poorly by the waitstaff at this restaurant. Please if you are a native English speaker from the US or Canada DO NOT go here. It felt like a French food tourist trap. This was our fault for stopping here as we would not have normally chosen a place like this- it was late and we got desperate to find food. The waitress purposefully ignored us after we could not finish our meals. The sausage was burnt and dry, and my cassoulet was bland, bland, bland. We tried to be graceful about it and just pay and leave but she made sure to make us sit for 30 minutes before getting us the check after we asked for it. And no they were not busy with a good excuse for ignoring us. To the restaurant owner and staff- there is no need to treat non-French people who are paying customers this way! No matter your opinion we came to France to appreciate your beautiful city and you were the one and only thing that tarnished our stay....

If I could give a rating of zero, I would. However, I have to work within the confines of the system. I had dinner here this evening with a friend. We were seated under a tv during what turned out to be a night for soccer. Being hockey fans in Canada, we understand the passion and fervour during an exciting match, however, we did not expect the manager of restaurant to turn up the volume of the tv above our heads to full volume at an intolerable level. Add insult to injury, we asked to turn it down or move us and neither was accommodated. We got up and left with no other options available. Given that the food is passible, I would respectfully recommend NOT dining in this location since clearly the are so many better options. The misogyny from the manager felt like a time machine, when he told us to calm down for simply telling him that the tv was...
