Chai 33 — Restaurant in Paris

A somewhat deceptive place with a small front that extends down a corridor to a large open-plan dining area at the back. eventually the noise grew to the point it reminded me of school dinner halls and wasn't a relaxing place to stay.

I ordered a sirloin steak which arrived with a small bowl of fries, side salad and a steak sauce.

When we asked for a different table, she reacted very arrogant and dismissively, saying that “this is just how it is. This is your table.” Only after we insisted multiple times we were allowed to change the table.
