Extremely Disturbing Experience at Le Saint Germain, 62 Rue du Bac, Paris I am a traveler visiting Paris with my pregnant wife, and we recently had a deeply upsetting experience at the restaurant Le Saint Germain located at 62 Rue du Bac, 75007 Paris, France on08/10 at around 6pm with dark haired female waitress and her Manager.
The incident left us feeling threatened and unsafe, and I believe it’s important to share this to prevent others from going through a similar ordeal. Upon arriving at the restaurant, we were met with hostility from the staff. When we inquired about the menu, the staff became increasingly aggressive and confrontational. To our shock, they eventually refused to serve us entirely. What made the situation worse was the manager’s behavior; instead of addressing the issue, she sided with the aggressive staff, further escalating the tension.
The situation took a frightening turn when the staff began behaving in a manner that made us feel physically threatened. They appeared to want to confront us physically, especially targeting my pregnant wife. Despite having done or said nothing to provoke this behavior, we felt it was best to leave the premises as quickly as possible to avoid any potential harm. In the end, we were charged 20 euros for water and a drink that we never consumed, as the staff made it clear they intended to take our money regardless. It felt like an outright attempt to rob us. We paid the amount out of fear and urgency to leave safely.
This experience has left us shaken, and it is something that should never happen to anyone—especially in a city known for its hospitality and charm. I urge authorities to investigate this establishment and ensure that no other visitor, local or tourist, has to go through such a...
Read moreIm only giving one star because giving a negative 50 is not possible. I have never been treated so impolitely from anyone. The waiters are extremely arrogant and disrespectful. They treated me like a dog. I would much rather starve than to eat at this restaurant ever in my life again. After waiting for 20 minutes to order my food, I asked a waiter what type of vegetables they had. He told me to look at the menu. I told him I wanted him to tell me because Im in a rush and Ive waited enough to at least receive that information. He threw the menu at my table and told me to figure it out. Later on, I told his colleague I didnt want to proceed with his service and that I wanted another waiter. His colleague told me to get out. He also said he will not serve me if I do not want his colleagues service and that they have many clients and they dont care about me. I took a step back to refresh my mind. 5 minutes later, they come back to ask me if im ready to order. I told them I lost my appetite just looking at them.
A little tip for you guys: The clients are what shape your restaurant. If they aren’t satisfied, trust me that the word will spread by and thats not a good look for you. Work on...
Read moreMe and my father were looking for any spot that was not extraordinarly expensive during our stay in Paris. We stumbled upon Le Saint Germain, and it was a culinary revelation for me that I did not expect to ever experience.
Steak was done perfectly, to the point where I did not have a single need to add salt, pepper, or any sauce, fries were clearly done at the restaurant and were superior to any I have had a chance to eat thus far, salad was well balanced.
Out of pure gluttony we decided to order desert, for how amazing the food was, and by gods, chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and caramle sauce was to die for. Perfect balance of sweetness, wonderful combination of different temperature and textures.
Though, the pinnacle was the waiter - kind, charming, very open for conversation, so full of life and so kind. A man of true passion no less, and one I hope to see again when I inevitable will visit again, this time with my soon-to-be-wife.
Until I visited Le Saint Germain I did not truly understand why the French Cuisine was so highly regarded. Now I do, and I truly hope to try some more life...
