Cafe Ouen — Restaurant in Saint Ouen

What a miserable experience and a miserable server. The sign outside read "Cafe open until 16:30". However; it didn't say that there was no hot food available or as it was so eloquently put by the sour faced attendant" Kitchen is Closed, Cakes and Hot Drinks Only!" and when the server was asked what Cakes do you have, the answer was "They are in the Fridge". So, the only response was for all five of us to walk out.

10 Mar 20202 - I have had time to reconsider this review as I wondered to myself if it was a little harsh or the server was just having a bad day; but, on reflection, I cannot believe how rude the server was and how obvious it was that this man was ready to shut up shop at 15:30 even though there was still an hour to go before closure.

I will however revisit as I get that everyone has bad days and it was fairly busy and gone 11am. So if things improve I'll...

Pulled over at this charming cafe stop with 84 year old father in law who wanted a little tea break. Just ordered refreshments and a cream tea served by polite young staff. Nice scone and Jersey cream. Tea failed to arrive ...no problem...a gentle reminder and the owner apologised and supplied the missing brew. Then followed an explanation that we hadn't been charged for it so it was extra. Elderley father in law corrected him and produced receipt. Further apologies...no problem. Next venue trying to pay and elderly father in law realises he was passed a very obvious fake note in his cafe change...that was a problem. Left a bitter taste...
