Restaurant Chez Ribe

Terrible food for the price. I had better food at the same price point.

I asked for my dessert (which was terrible too) to be served after my main but they insisted on serving it together... So I had to eat my dessert before my main as the ice cream was starting to melt.

I asked for water as I was quite dehydrated and I got a surprise when I had to pay €6.40 for probably 400-500 ml of still water... Most expensive water I have ever drunk. All the other restaurants I've eaten in Paris gave me the option of bottled still water or just off the tap.

Finally, when I was paying for the bill... Waiter asked if I wanted to tip 20% since the bill doesn't include tips (which is a lie since the bill automatically includes a 10% service tax) I refused saying food was bad, so was the service. He got angry and started arguing with me. He returned me a change of €16, which is short of €2 from the €18 I was to receive. I asked for the €2 and he took back the €5 bill and €1 coin he had given me orignally and gave me 7 €1 coins. I said it's still short of one and he gave me one more €1 coin and he quickly took back the €10 note that was on the table. I retorted "hey that's mine!" And he gave it back to me. Most terrible payment experience ever in my life. Repeatedly trying to cheat on change...

I had a good Saturday touring Paris, and it was my last night before going back home. Most unhappy to have the whole experience concluded by a terrible dining experience.
