Javelle Tavern — Restaurant in Paris

It has never happened to us, that we went somewhere, waited in line for half an hour to be seated, ordered food and beer and then with the first bite, left it all and walked away.

The beer was pathetic and the Mixte Planche (platter) was literally stale and the bread was soggy from the fridge.

In my opinion drinks are overall very poor, only beer or wine are worthy it. Good smelled and looked quite well, yet I did not tried it to give a feedback. Go early, it is very difficult to get a table (even right after 8pm). I would say that the people in the bars are not the most kind ones, but due to the work load they have and surely what they have to deal with, it is acceptable. Go open mind and have a blast of fun with the...
