Chez Papa Montparnasse vavin — Restaurant in Paris

Stumbled into Chez Papa just down the road from the Voco Montparnasse and across from the Montparnasse Cemetery. The reviews were great and well deserved.

The service was exceptional and the servers answered all of our questions with a smile.

We started with the cheese platter. It was 3 types of cheese on bread and a large bowl of scalloped potatoes over green leaf lettuce. The bread, the cheese, the potatoes and even the lettuce were delicious.

For dinner my wife ordered the cassoulet de canard. It had 3 different meats including duck, sausage all in a delictable sauce.

I had the duck fillet with (oyster) mushrooms. The duck fillets were braised like pork belly, both crispy and tender. The mushrooms tasted like steak.

My son had the duck burger. He said it was the best burger of his life.

My son's girlfriend had the escalope de canard. It was a huge portion and delicious.

All the dishes came with garlic scalloped potatoes over lettuce.

I cannot recommend Chez Papa enough. Fantastic food, service and a pretty...

1 star only because I can't give 0. The staff was rude. While ordering beers, the waiter kept acting disturbed because we didn't speak French. Later on, after the food was over and while we were drinking they told us to leave because our table was "reserved". They made some random group of people wait on our heads and when we didn't oblige and leave, they sent the group to another table. The table was not reserved, they wanted to shoo us to get new customers. This is not the way you treat your customers. Later when we were leaving there were no reservation, nobody came and sit there with a reservation. While all these were happening, the guy at the register said something in French after we told him our drinks were not over. He probably sweared at us. The staff is a disappointment and we will never go to any chez papa's in the future. Don't waste your time...

DO NOT GO IF YOU ARE A TOURIST! I cannot remember the last time I was disrespected like that. We have ordered a house wine and then the waiter served us wine glasses WITHOUT SHOWING the bottle which we’ve presumed were the house wine AS WE HAD ORDERED. Nonetheless, when we saw the addition they demanded us to pay the most expensive wine glass in the bar, arguing that it was the one served. We’ve argued with the waiter saying that the addition was wrong but he had refused to change the addition and in the end insulted me several times when I said that I would definitely leave a bad review to the restaurant. Moreover, their food and beverages are definitely not good. Unless you are a French student, you must definitely not...
