Café À la Fontaine — Restaurant in Paris

Amazing service, the waiters were absolutely amazing, so funny, helped me and my family with our French and our food came so fast even if the restaurant was quite busy. The waiters remembered my family the next night we went and they were so friendly. The restaurant has 3 tv’s and currently they are showing the euros every time a match is on. If there isn’t a euro match on they’ll broadcast other sports like tennis, nfl and cricket. The food was pretty good but I just had crepe’s the whole time (a bit unhealthy) and they were amazing every time. I had the Nutella and sugar crepe when I had them and there is a selection of about 12 different crepe flavours. I did have some gnocchi (pasta) pesto and it was alright, just to like thick and filling for me. Overall super amazing and great, I definitely recommend if you need dinner, lunch or breakfast and want to have a fun time. 5/5 stars...

We had a great dining experience at this restaurant. We ordered steak and fries and a tagine. Unfortunately, the steak was overcooked (medium-well), which was a bit disappointing as we expected it to be more tender. However, the tagine was outstanding – the meat was tender and full of flavor, and the root vegetables and couscous were cooked to perfection.

For dessert, we had a generous cheese platter, which was a real treat – each cheese was more delicious than the last! We also tried the crème brûlée, which was good and made for a lovely finish to the meal. The red wine we had, along with the IPA I drank, were excellent and paired perfectly with the meal.

The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was friendly. The location in the 16th arrondissement is a real plus – easily accessible, yet quiet and charming. We would definitely be...

It all started when he forgot our starter dish. Sure, stuff like that can happen. However, when we were served our Entecote (T-Bone steak) we didn’t have knives as the same waiter had purposely removed these as soon as we ordered. After asking for knives twice, he decided to first make drinks, so that he could serve these drinks simultaneously with our knives, even though we had already been waiting for almost ten minutes after our steak has been served. The steak itself was not only completely cold when the knives finally arrived but horrible too, see picture attached. Part of it hadn’t seen any grill, part of it was so well done it reminded me of my leather boots. The waiter also didn’t mind to ask us how our food was. He did however bump into our plate, so that the fat beef juice was spilled on my white trousers when serving the food - of course no apologies have been made ever since. He also didn’t seem to know what an IPA was as he brought us some regular beers after we’ve ordered IPA’s.

Tout a commencé lorsqu’il a oublié notre entrée. Bien sûr, ce genre de chose peut arriver. Cependant, lorsque l’on nous a servi notre entrecôte (T-bone steak), nous n’avions pas de couteaux, car le même serveur les avait volontairement retirés dès que nous avions passé notre commande. Après avoir demandé des couteaux à deux reprises, il a décidé de préparer d’abord des boissons, afin de pouvoir nous les servir en même temps que les couteaux, alors que nous attendions déjà depuis près de dix minutes après que notre steak avait été servi.

Le steak lui-même n’était pas seulement complètement froid lorsque les couteaux sont enfin arrivés, mais également immangeable — voyez la photo ci-jointe. Une partie n’avait jamais vu de grill, une autre partie était tellement cuite qu’elle m’a rappelé mes bottes en cuir.

Le serveur n’a pas non plus pris la peine de nous demander comment était notre repas. En revanche, il a heurté mon assiette en servant, ce qui a fait couler du jus gras de bœuf sur mon pantalon blanc — et bien sûr, aucune excuse ne nous a été présentée depuis.

Il ne semblait pas non plus savoir ce qu’était une IPA, puisqu’il nous a apporté des bières ordinaires alors que nous avions...
