DILIA

Accueil déplorable. Nous sommes arrivés avec notre fille de deux mois dans sa poussette et le responsable a refusé de nous accueillir en salle. Les alternatives proposées étaient impraticables. Il a finalement annulé la réservation et nous a fait payer 80e. Nous avons bien sûr fait opposition. Ce sont des pratiques d'escroc !

Nous avons fait un signalement à la répression des fraudes, si vous avez vous aussi eu un problème lié à cet usage abusif de l'empreinte bancaire, rdv sur la plateforme SignalConso mise en place par la répression des fraudes.

È stata una serata incredibile. Cibo e vino degni nota. Se siete alla ricerca di un luogo che rispecchi l incontro tra il buon gusto e la bellezza della vera parigi, sarete nel posto giusto. GRAZIE

La cuisine est bonne et les plats originaux.
Malheureusement le reste n'est définitivement pas à la hauteur...
Le service est catastrophique. Nous avons attendu jusqu'à 1h15 entre deux plats.
Nous n'avons eu des explications que sur la moitié des plats servis (ces dernières étant difficilement haudibles car le serveur parlait tout en retournant en cuisine).
La salle est petite et assez inconfortable. Vous êtes donc collés aux autres personnes et pouvez profiter des discussions de vos voisins.
La rapport qualité prix est donc vraiment mauvais (plus de 100 euros par personne).
Pour le même tarif, il y a des tables gastronomiques permettant une expérience nettement meilleure.

Edit : Je ne comptais pas mettre de commentaire car cela n'en valait pas mon temps mais la réaction du propriétaire m'a fait changer d'avis.
Je ne sais pas de quoi vous parlez et je ne suis visiblement pas venu le même soir que cette personne dont vous parlez mais j'aurai bien aimé. L'animation aurait peut être détourné mon attention de la qualité médiocre des plat.
Et en lisant les autres avis il est clair que les avis positifs ne viennent pas de clients car quand on laisse un avis positif sur un restaurant on ne cherche pas à le défendre des autres avis postés avant. La façon dont ces gens vous défendent montre clairement que c'est à votre demande que l'avis à été posté..
Dans tous les cas, ce restaurant ne mérite pas sa note ni pour sa nourriture, ni pour ses réactions clairement immatures...

BEWARE: a good amount of 5 stars reviews seem to be written by friends of the chef/ owner. It also seems like there was an owner change at some point and a lot of legacy reviews from the past owner. We were certainly fooled. There is an incomprehensible gap between reviews and actual experience.

There are so many better places in Paris, this one should be forgotten forever for the sake of all tastebuds. First, the imposed 5-course menu at 69 euros (wine pairing excluded) was, for lack of a better word, absolutely disgusting; like a child playing chef experimenting with flavors that should never ever have shared a plate. Everything was so overwhelmingly salty I could literally feel my blood pressure go up with every bite. The fish dish was grossly over-cooked, covered with raw mushrooms drowning in a random spice mix that could have come from tesco. The poultry dish was sitting in a random vinegar sauce that didn’t complement any flavor - it seemed like the chef had seen a recipe on a blog and failed to reproduce it. I returned all my plates uneaten and nobody came to check why or offer an alternative.

Then there was the waiter, Federico, who acted like he was on some kind of chemically-induced trip the whole time, completely unable to read or pick up any social cues from customers. I now see that he’s mentioned in a number of other reviews for his surprisingly agressive rudeness.

At the end of the meal I asked to speak to someone, the chef / owner Michael came up; I politely said that I wasn’t able to eat anything because of the (paraphrasing) heart-attack inducing sodium content. The chef said defiantly : “I saw that, but everybody else liked it, so your taste is the problem”.

Taken aback, I asked if he intended to present me with a 70 euro bill given the fact that I hadn’t eaten anything, as he had seen. He responded “Well, of course. This is how restaurants work”. I said that, unsurprisingly, this wasn’t my first time in a restaurant and that at that price level you’d expect someone to check on you if you returned a full dish. He said that he was aware I didn’t like it, and his waiter had checked on me - he hadn’t, he’d simply said “ok” and taken the plates away.

I attempted to interject with a comment that the waiter had been particularly unpleasant all evening, which then prompted the waiter to jump in and scream - and I kid you not - that I had “raped him by asking his name and introducing myself at the beginning of the meal”. You literally couldn’t make this up.

So here I am, out 70 euros, with an empty stomach, nightmarish memories of Frankenstein dishes that should never have seen the light of day, and an accusation of “rape” (his literal words) because I introduced myself to the waiter.

At this point I fully expect, based on reactions to other reviews along with my own empirical evidence, that the accountability-challenged owner will chime in to explain how I was really the problem, although my friend had the same exact experience and told him so; to which he retorted, pointing to a group of his friends that had been here the whole time, that they were “food experts” and loved it, so what did we really know.

Hopefully my experience can save others the misfortune of crossing paths with the chef’s equally terrible food and attitude; then the 70 euros I spent on breathing this restaurant’s air tonight wouldn’t have been completely lost.

Pictured: what I ate.

Edit: if you want to have a good laugh, and see just how low the chef owner may stoop to harass customers (spoiler alert: you will be impressed); I recommend sorting by new to see the reviews the chef had his friends, two of the supposed “food experts”, write in broken French to counter my review. This is now officially hilarious. My favorite part is when one of them wrote that he would have happily thrown a stool at my face - such a perfectly normal reaction from a normal person.

I’m speechless and will be reporting to google for conflict of interest and harassment, as well as reaching out to consumer associations.
