Les Antiquaires

Charming little bistro near the Musée d'Orsay with a lively atmosphere and surprisingly good food, given its clear tourist target. The onion soup was rich and comforting, the side bread tasty, and the crêpes Suzette beautifully done. Unfortunately, all of that was overshadowed by the shockingly rude service. We were seated at an outdoor table without even asking, only to be told halfway through our meal that outside seating was for “dinner only” despite us having ordered four onion soups, two drinks each, a bottle of wine, and two desserts. The waiter also refused to provide an allergy-friendly menu for my celiac friend and made an extremely inappropriate comment when we later asked for an ashtray, insinuating we were going to smoke pot (!?). It’s a shame, because the food and setting had real potential.

Very helpful staff, gave me the allergen list when I said I was gluten free and lots of options.
