Le Flores

Amazing, great food, great service, don’t get the bad reviews, this was our favorite place to eat, lovely neighborhood too. I think people are whiners, open your mind, the food was delicious!

My husband and I went into this restaurant because it was close to the hotel we were staying. He ordered some chicken with rice– please do not ever make the mistake of ordering this dish .The chicken breast slice was dry and hard and tasteless, almost like it was placed in microwave before it was served.

Discovered the restaurant when we were in a hurry to use the toilette plus was super hungry!
Stepped in the door, the waiter shouts from the bar in Japanese, «Konichiwa!!!»
Okay, okay, no problem, he doesn’t know we are Chinese… We rushed down to use the toilette.
Came back up, sat down, the same friendly waiter comes over and asked where we were from. After we told him we were from China he asked,
«so can I ask a question? Why do the Chinese people never say hi back, when I waive to them and say Bonjur on the sidewalk?»
To which I answered, «well I think some Chinese people can be impolite, also maybe because they don’t understand that Bonjur means hi. Most importantly, in major cities in China, people who say hi on the streets are always really pushy and trying to sell tourists something.»
He replied, «ok, yeah, I guess no problem, but when Japanese people come in, they will ask, ‘can I sit here or there’, Chinese people just find a seat and sit themselves down.»
To which I agreed, «yes, Japanese people are known to be extremely polite». He continued, «many Chinese people live on my street, they are good at making many things… But they are also good at taking stuff back to their country and copy them».
To which I agreed again and said, «yes, Chinese people do do that, they are good at copying.»
Then he brought us our food and I asked if he could take a photo of my friend and me. He agreed, but when he held the camera up, the belt fell in front of the lenses obstructing the camera view. So I paused him and asked him to move the string out of the way before he took the photo. THAT’S when he started to pout his lips and asked aggressively «what do you want?», then he clicked a quick one of my friend and me both with our eyes shut, and handed our camera back.
After this, he stopped responding to us when we tried to waive him down for a spoon. When he brought the spoon, he dropped it (most likely on purpose). He came around and asked to clear my dish but after I said I was not done, he pretended not to hear me and started to clear away my dish anyway. I had to raise my voice then he said sorry, shrugged his shoulders and walked away shaking his head at us.
Can you imagine!!! So French people in China, please, you have no right to complain about the lack of service in Chinese restaurants! At least we don’t great you using «Guten Tag!!!» Then before you order, ask you why do French people smell so bad and use so much perfume and why can’t the French economy get its shit together like the Germans!!!
So my advise is, if you are asian (who accounts for roughly 60% of the world population), only go here if you are Japanese! And if you are Chinese, this place just might give you enough ammunition to turn into an Italian mob and do a drive by shooting! Or you can consider what I did, tip the man a large tip and write on the bill «YOU ARE AN IDIOT! KONICHIWA IS NOT CHINESE!!! THAT’S WHY THEY DON’T RESPOND!»

Ordered two item, cheese burger and omelette Mixte jamon. To be blunt, it was horrible, in addition, they knew we were tourist and treated us like one. What more could I say.

Et ben, quand on voit que dans le quartier la moindre salade vous coûte 16 €, on s’est dit que crevants de faim (et de chaud), les quelques euros en moins du Flores allaient faire la différence.
En effet, la salade la plus chère est à 13 €, et la moins chère à 9,5 €. Et je né vous parle pas d’une salade chiche, sans saveur, et sans générosité. La mienne, la César, m’a absolument conquise pour 12 €. D’habitude, je demande toujours mes salades sans croûtons (comment ça se passé au niveau dureté de caillou ?), que j’ai tendance à trouver un peu inutiles. Ouais ça rajoute du croquant, mais si c’est au risqué de se casser une dent, et sans saveur ajoutée, je vois pas bien l’intérêt en fait. Et là, j’ai omis de le préciser au serveur, et GRAND BIEN M’EN A PRIS. De délicieux minis pains à l’ail, parfaits, ont garni ma salade déjà bien généreuse. Le poulet était très sec, ce n’est pas ce que je préfère d’habitude, mais avec la vinaigrette, très savoureuse sans être grasse ou huileuse, et la fraîcheur des feuilles de salade, c’était très bien.
Honnêtement, quand on voit les scandales avoisinant, c’est probablement l’une des meilleures options du coin.

The employees here were super accommodating and friendly! I ended up talking to our server for a while about local attractions and things to do.
The Warm Goat Cheese Salad was tasty but not the best in Paris (pretty much all the food in France is good though!). Their Warm Chocolate Cake dessert was delicious and definitely worth it!
The indoor seating with comfortable lounge chairs was a nice break from the constant rush of the nearby streets!

A fairly standard Paris café. Free wi-​fi, standard Parisian café fare (omelets, cheeseburgers, salads) and proximity to our hotel were the big draws.
They’re located on Rue du Bac about a block off of St. Germain, so they never seemed as busy as cafes on main streets or in more touristy areas. Not sure if its the best for those who want to people-​watch for hours. Still, it’s a nice friendly place well worth stopping in if you’re in the neighborhood and looking for a bite.

Café typique. Très bien servis.
J’ai eu une assiette de salade avec une montagne de poissons dont je me souviens encore. Quand je viens dans le 7e, c’est là que je vais, point!
