Dinand par Ferdi — Restaurant in Paris

To find a restaurant like this nestled in one of Paris’s most exclusive neighborhoods is not only disappointing — it’s a disgrace. The food is painfully average. A basic burger that tastes no better than something I’d throw together at home, paired with the greasiest fries I’ve ever had, and somehow they believe that justifies the absurd prices? Laughable.

But the food would have been forgivable — forgettable, at worst — if it weren’t for the service. The woman at the counter seemed overwhelmed by the concept of customizing a burger. When I asked for a simple topping change, she repeatedly said she was “lost.” Lost? In a burger joint? Because someone doesn’t want onions? That’s not confusion — that’s incompetence.

Then came the man who delivered the food. I asked for another tissue and was told to “use the one for the cutlery.” When I clarified that I needed more, he tossed a tissue onto the table and said, “Take this. If you need more, go use the bathroom.” Are we in a restaurant or a prison cafeteria?

The disaster didn’t end there. They forgot my iced tea. When I politely asked for it, I was told “you didn’t order.” I had. The same woman who was “lost” must have “forgotten.” I asked for a Sprite instead — since I’d already finished my meal without any drink — and was met with attitude and was told to “say please.”

At this point, I genuinely felt like I was at a hostile dinner at my mother-in-law’s house — unwelcome, disrespected, and regretting my life choices.

Do yourself a favor. Skip this place. Paris has a thousand better options where you’re not paying premium prices to...

A little indulgence at Dinand par Ferdi — and no regrets.

An odd combo? Maybe. But burgers + mac n cheese + churros somehow work. This was a celebratory meal, so we did not hold back. The Mac Ferdi burger was absolutely drenched (in the best way) — so much sauce and so much flavor. The naughty fries though… maybe not naughty enough for us, and cut a little too fine, but still good company for the meal.

Then there’s the mac n cheese — hands down the best I’ve had in Paris (and probably better than a lot of spots down South, sorry not sorry). Super creamy, cheesy, and that crispy top? Perfection.

We wrapped it up with churros + hot chocolate that instantly transported us to Barcelona. You can literally see our faces after that first bite — pure joy.

Messy, rich, and delicious....

Disappointing Experience - Unfair and Slow Service

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant based on our experience. We arrived and were told there would be a wait, which is understandable. However, after waiting patiently, we watched as a larger group, who were not even present in the restaurant when we arrived, was seated before us. When we questioned it, the staff gave a vague response and didn’t seem to care.

On top of that, the wait time was excessive, and there was no effort to keep us updated or accommodate us in any way. By the time we finally got a table, the whole experience had already been ruined. Service matters just as much as food, and unfortunately, this place failed in that regard. Definitely not worth the...
