A nice pho spot near Invalides. Prices are slightly higher as well, but the pho had a richer, more flavorful broth than what I usually find elsewhere. The lychee frappé was refreshing, and perfect for a hot summer day. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

First off let me say, the food here is good. My party and I were travelers from the USA and stumbled upon this restaurant randomly and decided we were in the mood for some food from our culture! This was my first time in France and I did some research on etiquette. Someone on reddit mentioned most places, outdoor seating especially, is typically just seat yourself. (I want to say this does not apply to every restaurant and I don't recommend doing this...) Pause Viet has a cute outdoor area, where the menus and tables are set. So my party of 3 and I sat down at an outdoor table. I see the waiter inside, shake his head and visibly looking annoyed. I immediately get up from the table to apologize and he comes outside to say its fine we can just sit there. But he warned us in a very direct tone to not just sit where we want because what if the table was reserved. We were very apologetic and brushed it off. The waiter then gives us time to browse the menu and when we were ready to order he tells us we did not order enough food. We were all confused, and said we were not that hungry so is it ok if we just order some of the small plates? The waiter very directly and bluntly says, no this is the restaurant policy is that all parties must order at least 3 entrees. (or something of that sort) He then proceeds to throw the menus down on the table without giving us recommendations or anything. My whole table was just silent, like we knew he was pissed at us already for sitting down by ourselves but this felt uncalled for. We finally order get our food, which again, was delicious and tasted very authentic. We later notice a caucasian couple approach the restaurant and seat themselves at another outdoor table near us. This time I observe the waiter to see if he gives them the same talking to. He looks annoyed but DOES NOT tell the caucasian couple that they could not just sit wherever they please. This couple was not french either, they were speaking a different language. The waiter seemed to know the regulars at this restaurant as I saw him giving certain people and groups superb service. This is not a diss on the waiter, he seems to work hard and appeared to have a great relationship with certain customers. However, I always say treat others how you want to be treated and give people grace. Especially, if said people are tourists and not completely familiar with French customs. I admit we should not have sat down without flagging down the waiter first, but I also do not agree with the way he handled the situation and with how he made our entire party feel after not treating a seemingly white couple the same as he treated us. Overall, good food, great location but the service could be better. If the waiter happens to see this, please do not discriminate against certain tourists and treat them differently because of how they look or acted. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

Bonjour Madame, Nous vous remercions de votre honnêteté concernant la qualité de notre cuisine. Pour ce qui est du service que vous avez critiqué et jugé, nous nous permettons de vous répondre: 1.Vous n’entrez pas chez les gens sans sonner à la porte. Si vous avez vu le serveur, ce serait poli de lui demander avant de vous installer. Nous avons vérifié la caméra de notre établissement au moment de votre venue à 19h31, notre serveur était en train de dresser des tables à l’intérieur. Il n’a pas secoué la tête mais il est arrivé pour vous informer que ça serait mieux de nous demander avant de vous installer. Vous avez écrit dans votre commentaire que vous avez laissé tomber mais avez bien pris le temps d’observer le comportement du serveur avec les autre clients. Nous n’avons pas à vous justifier le fonctionnement du restaurant mais nous sommes ouvert à la discussion. 2. Au moment de passer la commande, vous étiez 3 personnes mais vous avez commandé 3 entrées. Il est pourtant bien notifié sur notre menu « un plat principal par personne ». Vous avez signifié que notre serveur aurait jeté les menus sur la table, nous pensons que vous exagérez la situation. Il travaille tout seul en salle, vous venez au moment de rush du restaurant, il ne peut pas rester à table pour vous recommander des plats que vous pouvez prendre. Quand la situation le lui permet, il le fait avec plaisir mais malheureusement toutes les autres tables l’attendent pour passer la commande. De plus, ce n’est pas dans son intérêt de vous « maltraité » car il peut se réserver le droit de refuser de vous servir puisque vous ne respectez pas les règlements de l’établissement. Mesdames , vous n’êtes pas les premières asiatiques et certainement pas les dernières que nous servirons. Avant de critiquer une quelconque discrimination venant de notre serveur, peut être devriez vous commencer par vous questionner un peu sur votre comportement qui tend à faire de vous la victime. Pour terminer, les expériences s’apprennent dans la vie réel et pas sur les réseaux sociaux. Quand on a fait une erreur, on fait profil bas au lieu de devenir une héroïne derrière son clavier pour se débarrasser de sa propre responsabilité. Salutations commerciales, Pause Viet.
