Les Philosophes — Restaurant in Paris

I’ll start by saying that their famous steak tartare was very good, but that was the only decent thing about our stay. We were seated in a tiny table, trapped between sears and unable to have a private conversation without being overheard. Our first order was neglected as they had run out so after 10 minutes more of deliberation, we decided to choose the seasonal vegetables, which although they are on the menu, the waiter seemed to believe they did not exist at the restaurant. Finally, we ordered the smoked salmon salad and the steak tartare with fries and salad. Firstly, the steak tartare arrived without salad. Then, instead of what we had ordered, the waiter proceeded to bring a blue cheese roquefort salad even though I had already informed him that I was allergic. After trying to make him understand this was not what we had ordered, he returned it and brought back the “salmon salad” which was the previous cheese salad with the cheese removed and a slice of smoked salmon on top. This goes without saying that calling it a salad is a disgrace to the word. It was actually just a plate of lettuce with two slices of cucumber, one cherry tomato (unsliced), a completely random piece of watermelon, some shredded carrot (very dry) one radish and three raw mushroom slices. Photo attached. To finish it off, this so called “salad” cost an appauling 22€, the same as the steak tartare!! In conclusion, awful service, dreadful presentation and simply not worth it. Don’t waste your time and go somewhere else. There are plenty of decent steak...

Unprofessional, disrespectful and humiliating service.

Went in at 7pm, waiter told us 30% of the menu was not available. (Ok...we could do with the 70% left) Then, we had 30min of trying to make eye contact with a passing waiter but all of them were pretending that we were invisible by looking at the floor. Finally, we got the attention of 1 of them. We began ordering by referring to the menu on a black board behind us. After we told the waiter our first order, he went to the board behind us and crossed it out, saying "not available anymore". (Ok we can understand.) We said a second order. The waiter went to the board again and crossed it out, saying "not available again". Ok... we tried a third order, and the response was "not available again". We then asked our waiter what was available then? This time, the waiter went to cross out all the items on the board except for 2 entrees and 1 vegetarian main course. He did not offer any apologies or any suggestions. We were utterly disappointed, humiliated, and disrespected because of 1 main reason. We could overlook everything except for this 1 reason: after crossing out our first order on the board, the waiter did not cross out the other unavailable items. It was only after we mention them did the waiter cross them out from the board, even though we were referring to the board for the menu when ordering. This was super unprofessional and humiliating, making us...

‼️‼️‼️ racist waiters I don’t normally leave reviews, but for the sake of other ppl I am. I went in for a nice experience, but after I entered a waiter asked who the order is for and another said “une chinoise”. The wait staff all laughed together. After the meal was served I politely asked the waiter if what I understood was true. But then the man who was fluent in english just a few seconds ago started responding in french and tried to intimidate me by leaning over my table. It was scary atp but I asked him to apologize but he just tried to intimidate me even more. Then what made it worse was this woman in the table next to me started to talk to me. Saying that it was “violent” of me to call the waiter racist and I am the one who needs to apologize. The waiter said “My wife is from thailand so I like asian people”, and I said that had nothing to do with how he treated me. The woman said “what do you mean it has everything to do with it”. As if someone can’t be a misogynist if they have a wife. Basically, if you’re out in paris and you don’t feel like going out of your way to meet a racist person,...
