LE BEAUJOLAIS

We had a bad experience here… first there was a fly in one of our beers. Then one of our meals was cold and flavorless. The other meals were just okay. And then to finalize our visit, our waiter stood over us and asked for a tip. Waited for us to tip. Even though tipping isn’t a thing in Paris. It’s a tourist trap. Avoid it if you can.

Fui muito bem atendido. Ótima refeição, lugar agradável. E em uma das minhas visitas houve música ao vivo, foi incrível!

Very good food and fast service.

음식은 맛있는데 테이블간격이 많이 좁아요
음식은 진짜 맛있어요 특히 소고기 스튜에 소고기가 진짜 부드러워요! 근데 곟산핧때 팂요구 하더니 않줂닥곡핰닠깤 영숮증을 덙지곡 각넨요 밥 잘먹고 기분잢쳤넹용 참고하세요~

I want to preface this review by stating that typically I am not very critical of restaurant service but due to the high prices and very poor service I feel the need to write this review hoping the manager may see it.
We went to Le Bouchon for my girlfriend’s birthday and brought the whole family with excitement. The food was just average for the price but that wasn’t the issue. The issue was our server named “Christoff” and (other servers that night but mostly Christoff). Every time we wanted something, we would need to wait at least 5 minutes for the servers to walk by so we could ask them loud enough to not ignore which was the only way to get their attention due to their constant avoidance of eye contact. Even then, we asked for more water 4-5 separate times where they forgot to bring it on top of them not giving it in the beginning at all. When wanting to order more wine or desert, it took nearly 10 minutes for them to even notice us trying to get their attention.
Now yes, I understand full well after a year of traveling that when tipping culture isn’t a thing at restaurants, the service may be less than great but this was another level of server laziness.
What happened at the end of the dinner was the most frustrating and shocking and left our table in silence. Christoff gave us the bill and after reviewing it, we noticed that extra items were added to the bill which were not ordered but with being in a hurry to leave at the time, we just wanted to pay and go. After paying the 240 euro for a 5 person meal, Christoff loudly and directly asked the person paying (my girlfriends mother) how much tip they would like to give him for his service and insisted that 10% was a normal amount even though through our time dining, not a single other group was asked this question when paying. Due to how forward he was and insistent of the amount he should be tipped, we felt forced to give him what he asked for.
We all feel that this was directed toward us because of the assumption that we come from a tipping society and that he felt he would be able to get away with it.
The worst part is, this was the worst service we have received anywhere in Paris or our travels. This unfortunately heavily tainted the rest of the night and left us feeling taken advantage of.
