Mauvais accueilA very unpleasant experience at the restaurant Le Troquet, 21 rue Francois Bonvin, 75015. Thursday, April 14th 8:00 pm I arrived by taxi to meet a group of seven friends who were reserved at this restaurant. The taxi not having enough change didn't seem like such a big deal but when I entered the restaurant from the pouring rain I was greeted with unfriendly glares. I explained that I was part of a party of seven and could they please give me change for the taxi. Not getting any response, even though I speak perfect French, I asked again and was coldly told by the maitre d' from behind the bar that, 'no', he only had change for his clients. I repeated that I was a reserved client there to eat with seven friends to which he again coldly responsed that I was not a client until I had eaten and paid for my meal. Totally surprised I said, 'well that's nice'. He then came aggresively from behind the bar, got right in my face and told me I would take off my coat, then he pointed to a rack and told me he would hang it up, I would then sit down and I would shut up and not cause a scandal in the restaurant! Flabbergasted I looked at my equally shocked friends, who are mostly fluent in French, long term residents of Paris and some of us married to Frenchmen. We immediately decided this was too much and got up to leave at which point he told me I was a vulgar woman! we are a group of seven women, all mothers of twins going out for our monthly Twin Mom's Night Out to dinner to discuss babies, mostly the daily routine and raising of twins. You can imagine we were thinking we were in for a much deserved, quiet, relaxing evening. We are not a rowdy, scandulous bunch and definately not a vulgar group of women. But it doesn't end there...once on the street the 'patron' came out and introduced himself. We mistakenly thought he was going to apologize and try to regain our business. Oh no, that was the furthest thing from his mind. He continued to yell at us and wanted us off 'his' sidewalk in the pouring rain as we waited for the rest of our party to join us. He then screamed at us that he was from the Basque region and that he didn't like Americans and didn't want us in his restaurant and didn't need our business. We are an International mix of Franco-Australian, American, Scottish, Indien, and Mexican women though we were speaking to him in French, English is our common language. He then told us as he was flinging his arms and spraying us with spit to leave, that we were all 'M_RD_!!! In my seven years in Paris this is the one and only time I've been witness to any anti-Americanism much less such a blatant display. This is also the first time I've ever felt it necessary to write about such treatment in a French restaurant that is recommended by many English-speaking guide books. But it does have a happy ending...after walking for 20 minutes in the rain we luckily found ourselves whisked in off the street by a kind doorman at a charming & delicious Lebanese restaurant on the Blvd. Garibaldi. There we were treated with the respect and courtesy deserving of any client in any restaurant anywhere in our world.
