The place is a bit overrated. The portions are quite small for the price. They make it look nice so I think that’s why people mainly go there - it’s instagramable. On the picture you can see the Granola bowl comes close to the size of the matcha latte.
The granola bowl I ordered showed apple and kiwi on the photo, I am aware that things can be seasonal but why is there no apples in October? Also it would be kiwi season in October. I did get pear instead - a fruit I personally don’t like but also there is just no excuse that it’s a seasonal reason. Generally in places where the prices are on the higher end (for such small portions they would be considered high) I expect to not be screwed over with the fruits - just be generous and no one will complain - it’s a big price factor but it also makes the food so just be a bit more considered on what you display and what you give. And generally as I said not a lot of fruit for the price. Everyone also knows that berries would be the healthiest option but I doubt that they ever offer that even when it’s the season, they probably prefer to keep the costs low that’s the vibe the place gives. I think in a fancy brunch place berry options should always be on the menu no matter the season.
Also the matcha latte I had tasted mainly like pure milk. So also quite disappointing. Cup was also dirty on the edge of the drinking side.
They also do not offer any kind of smoothies just juices. For a place who specialises in brunch just seems a bit lazy - they are bathing in their success and do the bare minimum but doesn’t seem like they really want to offer the best brunch.
The welcoming could also be a bit friendlier as the guy (which seemed to be the manager) was just looking at me in a way where I felt like I was in the way - no hello no acknowledgment but seemed to be looking over me in a way “I have to organise things and keep it flowing”. Just not a...
Read moreOverrated noisy loud place with mediocre food and coffee. We came here because of all the great reviews, and lucky enough got the last available table without wait (10am ish saturday). We really want to like the place but unfortunately it was disappointing. Everything looks much better on social media than the reality. Drinks: the cappuccino and chai latte we had look amazing, but mostly only taste like milk. We could barely taste the coffee or the chai. A good coffee is the bare minimum for a such high rating brunch place; Food: we had salmon bene and sexy bene. The toast is surprisingly bad. It’s so dry and supermarket level. How can a French place use such bad toast? The pull pork is just plain, boring, and dry. The best thing is the spinach sadly. The smoked salmon is nice, and the little sliced turnip adds a lot of freshness and flavors. Eggs could be a bit more runny. Atmosphere: obviously they r going for an industrial vibe. The deco is nice. However, the whole place is super noisy because there’s no noisy canceling things anywhere and the bar next to the table are so loud with all the plates and cups hitting each other, and the metal-ish tables are also not helping. Together with the fast paced music, the whole place is super noisy and make people just want to leave. Service: really friendly and efficient staff. Food came very fast. We can order and pay with QR code, which is quite nice. There’s always a long line and not accepting reservations. Personably I don’t think it’s worth the wait since there’re so many good places to eat in Paris. All and all, we can tell there‘s good efforts put into this place, but the results are sadly underwhelming. We didn’t enjoy either the food or coffee,...
Read moreThis restaurant isn’t worth the wait in the queue nor worth the price. We came here happy with the perspective of a nice brunch with my friend. We left disappointed by the experience and sure we won’t come back. We ordered smoothies, matcha latte, avocado and salmon pancakes, chicken and waffles, homemade granola. None of the dishes were good : smoothies taste like industrial made with frozen fruits. Matcha was lumpy and still tasting bad even after adding sugar (which was obviously missing at first). The 3 pancakes came with barely enough topping for 1 piece of pancake. The chicken and waffle was really dry even with the honey, such a basic dish with nothing added and we found a piece of plastic in the chicken. Finally, the homemade granola with “seasonal fruits” came with few blueberries (which isn’t the season anymore) and apple pieces, but with way to many seeds that made it extremely heavy, impossible to finish. Some waiters and waitresses were nice but some didn’t care and we waited the whole time for a little a bit of lemon juice that never arrived. Fortunately, when we went to pay the bill (quite expensive) and we tell the waiter about our experience and mostly about the plastic piece, he apologized and offered us a drink. Thank you for this kindness. We took a mocha but again, we were disappointed as it tasted like hot chocolate and we were wondering if there even was any coffee in the drink. We fully acknowledge worse exists, but for my friend and I, as brunch lovers, this was our...
