MONK La Taverne de Cluny — Restaurant in Paris

There is my story

4.3 stars yeah it's cool We decided to go there for a drink with my colleagues traveling in Paris.

One of us had birthday

And we kindly ask the server if they can bring a dessert to my colleague for her birthday ( and not for free) you know kind of spice of cake with a candle.

As we really wanted to surprise her because she was the one who chose the place and it looks like she really likes the place.

So we all wanted to see her smile 🙂

The waiter said they weren't doing that 🤔. I beg her to do it for my colleague because of her birthday and she really likes the place and she might even like it more if they do it for her.

She said they don't have candle I run to the store and bring them a box candles.

And 1 hour later nobody brings the little dessert we stay there for more than 2 hours but nothing.

After my colleague returned to the hotel and got no cake from her favourite place.

I ask back the candle and they return it to me without saying anything.

It was really bad and sad, even it was not crowd or something like that who could justify the 2 hours waiting, Really a birthday is once a year.

Where can I...

Truly enjoyed my evening here. The service was superb - so fast and thoughtful. The waiter saw me struggling to get service on my phone and immediately connected me to the Wifi!

Very rare indeed.

The band were highly skilled.

I’ve been watching live Jazz bands around the World and I knew immediately they were top notch. I just wish that other guests were more respectful to the musicians and staff.

We encountered some very rude people who kept talking so loudly over the musicians and seemed interested in only recording videos for their social media (??) I thought they were also very rude to the kind waiter when they asked loudly “MENUUUUU. You know MENU?”. The waiter was most professional in dealing with them.

The food and wine was fantastic. My friend had the chicken fingers - so crispy and juicy. I had the charcuterie and the cheese was so yummy.

A most comfortable place. Clean and with AC. Highly recommend this lovely spot.

My friend and I really enjoyed ending our night out here.

We felt safe and welcomed - most important for female travellers. I hope to come...

We came to Monk for a late dinner and since it was pouring rain outside we decided to take a table deep inside the restaurant. From our table we could see the water running down the cobblestone street and hear the thunders but we were warm and protected from the wind and cold.

We had the hamburger without the cheese and beef tab with French fries. Both portions were big enough to satisfy the strong appetite. The beef was very tender and juicy. It was served with a tiny dish with caramelized onions and a small garden salad.

The service was quick and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The prices are reasonable too.

It was interesting to hear Freddy Mercury, Queens, The Weekend and Ariana Grande as a background music in France.

We also ordered a warm chocolate dessert with a vanilla ice cream, but couldn’t finish it. It was very good, only we overestimated our abilities. 😊

We had our very late dinner and when we left around 11:00 pm and there were still people in the restaurant.

I definitely recommend you to...
