L'Étincelle — Restaurant in Paris

Terrible experience - the Bistro practices two tier pricing which is not immediately obvious! I noted the price of a cappuccino was listed as euro's 3.50. Went to pay and was confronted by a demand to pay euro's 5.50. Why? Because we had chosen a pavement table, instead of an inside table, but you are not advised of this. The matter was made worse by the fact that I took the cup of coffee to the outside table from the bar, so it not like they delivered an end to end service. On the pricing board I was shown the pavement seat price, but unless you know what you are looking for, it is too easy to miss. This bistro lacks a moral conscience of doing business...

Garbage place and sneaky service. I stopped in to sit and have a small bite. I saw they offered cafe gourmand for €7.50 and asked it it was possible to have tea instead of coffee. They said yes, and brought a plate with three small desserts: crème brûlée (decent), chocolate mousse (oddly lumpy), and a tiny sliver of moelleux (that was over cooked, dry, and tasteless. I finished my food and was shocked to find myself charged not €7.50, but €9.50 for this mess of a plate-lette. Not the server or manager or one I was paying had said anything about the difference in price until after I’d been charged and asked what had happened. Overall, hands down do...

Correct place with a correct menu and a correct price.

Went there today for lunch with my gf and had an okay meal, went for the menu which was like 15,5 euros with main and dessert. Had the "Poulet fermier" and the fish of the day, both okay, together with veggies and pasta respectively.

The chicken was my main dish and it was alright, fish was good but the pasta was cold.

As a dessert ordered the pineapple carpaccio which was so tiny and warm that didnt even want to have a coffee. My gf enjoyed her apple pie.

I wont...
