It had been a very long time since I last returned to Café Beaubourg, and I was curious to rediscover the place. I had noticed that the rating on this platform was not particularly high (below 4), but I still wanted to make up my own mind. Overall, I was personally welcomed and served quite well, which allowed me to enjoy my break.
However, I observed a situation that I found rather unfortunate. Two Asian tourists sat at a table close to mine and waited for more than fifteen minutes without anyone approaching them, even though there were only about a dozen people seated on the terrace at that time (Sunday, August 17th, around 4 pm). Discouraged, they eventually left without ordering. I am not sure whether the young waiter with mid-length curly hair simply did not notice them, but the end result was that they left with a negative impression.
I find this regrettable because, beyond the restaurant’s reputation, it also affects the image of Paris for visitors. This iconic location deserves a level of service that matches its history and charm. I hope my feedback will be taken as a constructive remark to help improve the experience...

We ordered a charcuterie and cheese board, a bottle of wine and shared a pizza. I noticed some people ate the pizza as it were a personal pizza, but the size was also right for two. The pizza was supposed to be a margharita pizza without olives, but it was served as a traditional cheese pizza (maybe this was because of language barrier). Still, the pizza was very delicious.
We also ordered desserts, the chocolate crepes and creme brulee. Both were great choices, but the creme brulee was the best here, over any other cafe that we ordered it at.
The prices here actually seemed lower than at other resturants, and we all agreed this was one of the best resturants we...
