L'Annexe Montmartre — Restaurant in Paris

We are tourists traveling alll the way from Florida came to this place looking for the local traditional experience and boy were we in for a surprise... the minute we came in they made us feel uncomfortable by making a joke in French and then laughing at us once they realized we didn't speak much French, then my stomach starts to turn and I didn't want to eat much so my fiancee orders and she ask what I am eating- I tell her I am not feeling well and that I would have some of my fiancées' food... the owner becomes aware we only ordered an appetizer, wine entree, dessert and decides to shout across the tables and say that we can't sit at his restaurant if only one is eating (all of it in French) I tell him in my broken French that I'm sorry but I am not feeling well and he says that he doesn't care but I need to order an appetizer and a dessert- all this while still shouting across the tables. I was in utter shock and was at a loss for words, my eyes filled up and my fiancée saw how upset I was and got up and said we should leave... the waitress had already poured the wine so my fiancée offered to pay as I walked right to the door. The owner aske why we were leaving and he told him that he made us feel uncomfortable and was quite rude, the owner didn't flinch took the money for the wine and we left... no apology, nothing but rudeness and arrogance! WORST experience ever!

The couple next to us had their hands over their faces the entire time in disbelief what the owner was saying.

If you aren't a local or speak good French don't go here and definitely not if you aren't...

Situated along the wiggly rue des Trois Frères, this restaurant is in the heart of the picture-perfect Montmartre village. Just minutes from the steps of Sacré-Cœur cathedral, in an area known for tourist trap restaurants offering bland cuisine at elevated prices, l’Annexe is a real breath of fresh air. Its cheerful red façade stands out along the café- and boutique-lined street, whilst inside the décor is simple and cozy with mahogany brown tables and soft lighting. The service is excellent—friendly and fast—and several quirky touches add to its charm. The fresh bread is served in a paper bag, boulangerie style; desserts come in jam jars; and each table is home to a brightly-colored piggy bank with a crazy hairstyle to put your tips in should you be so inclined. Here the emphasis is on fine French cuisine, with a twist. Expect quality cuts of meat, and creative side dishes such as courgette tagliatelle and red pepper purée. Whilst the main courses are mostly meat-based, there are always one or two fish or vegetarian options on the menu. Be sure to save room for one of their delectable desserts. You won’t want to miss out on raspberry spring rolls with white chocolate sauce, or crème brulée with cinnamon cream. For chocoholics we can’t recommend highly enough the mousse au chocolat explosive (explosive chocolate mousse). It’s light but extremely chocolate-y, and topped with popping candy (the “explosive” part) and served with a...

As a restaurant not only are you in the food industry but costumer service industry and let me say this establishment knows nothing about costumer service!! Not only did they insult my fiancée and I on our visit to their restaurant but nearly made my fiancée cry because she didn't want to eat due to an illness. Furthermore, the owner went on to say that he didn't care if she was ill that she had to order if she was sitting in his restaurant. When we decided to leave, I got up and the grumy mean man charged me for a wine I didn't even drink and continued to be rude me. Even as I expressed my dissatisfaction, unbelievably so they continue with their rude antics. He didn't seem to care at all took my money, looked at the bill rolled his eyes and said to give him a smaller bill. They are extremely rude and unapologetic. They should understand their business also involves customer service and they need a lot of learning in this department! No costumer service skills at all!
