Le Floréal — Restaurant in Paris

After a day of shopping and before going back to my hotel, I decided to make a stop at this place. It looks nice and the vibe looks fun. I got there, and I asked the young blonde maître d' that I wanted to sit outside, but before I wanted to use the restroom. After I came out, I pointed to her again letting her know I was sitting outside. I waited about 10 minutes for a menu and...nothing. Then, I moved a bit closer to the interior of the restaurant, and I asked this little skinny guy for a menu...I waited for about 5-6 minutes, and he "slides" me the menu and it was the drink menu. I then go back to the first young lady and ask them if there is a reason why I had to wait 15 minutes before someone paid any attention whatsoever. All I got were these defensive responses and then this tough guy bartender came towards me, to whom I had to look in the eye and told him that it wasn't necessary for him to come towards me. I left. All this time, I'm trying to be polite and speak to them in my half-french, because God forbid I speak in English since they seem to believe that we ALL think that we English-speakers(as not to say Americans) are above them, when in fact, THEY behaved just like...

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this restaurant -- it was that amazing!! We came for breakfast. Their breakfast menu is small, but it has a lot of options to customize your choices. I wish I lived in Paris solely so I could eat here daily -- it was that good!

We were a table of 6, and all of us got the larger option for breakfast. It came with a hot drink (coffee, tea, or hot chocolate), and the waitress very kindly let my daughter substitute strawberry milk. The coffee was wonderful. The breakfast also came with a croissant and 1/2 baguette, served with butter and (delicious) jam, and 3 eggs cooked how you like. Between us we had all three options (fried, scrambled, or omelet -- with the option to add bacon and/or cheese). All of us thought the eggs tasted amazing and very fresh.

The bathrooms were also very clean.

Finally, I can't say enough good things about the waitress. She was so kind -- she saw my daughter eye a teddy bear, so she brought it over so my daughter could sit next to it at breakfast. The waitress's English was excellent, and she was very patient with us and taught us how to say a few...

I recently dined at this restaurant and was deeply disappointed by the experience. First, I noticed a mouse running around under the tables, which is completely unacceptable for any establishment, let alone a restaurant. When I brought it to the attention of the waitress, she casually replied, “It is normal, and is a friend of the restaurant.” This response was shocking and unprofessional.

As for the food, I ordered the tajine, which was equally underwhelming. It was served cold, and I found large, whole pieces of herbs and spices in it, making it difficult to enjoy. The flavors were unbalanced, and the overall dish was not appetizing.

Cleanliness and food quality are basic expectations for any dining experience, and this restaurant failed on both counts. I will be reporting this to SignalConso France as such issues should not be ignored. I cannot recommend this place and hope they take serious steps to address...
