Dining Disaster in Paris: A TikToker's Tale of Culinary Disappointment

On a trip to Paris, they dined at a Michelin-starred restaurant, but the experience was forgettable. The story was shared by the TikToker "Jocedub", a girl who was in the French city on vacation with her boyfriend. In a video, published last February 8th and now close to a million views, the young woman recounted what happened in the French city. What the girl recounted "We went to a Michelin-starred restaurant thinking of experiencing a culinary adventure with excellent food, impeccable service at an appropriate price... too bad it didn't go that way," the girl says. In the video, summarized by Daily Dot, the TikToker explains what went wrong during the dinner in Paris with her boyfriend, for which they thought they would pay 750 euros each. She is a pastry chef and he is a sommelier, both are passionate about Michelin-starred cuisine and were excited to have a new experience together. Her version "We arrived at the restaurant we had booked well in advance, also notifying them of our intolerances, we were dressed elegantly and happy. When we saw a free table we sat down, but at that moment the problems started," the girl recounts. According to her version, the waiter approached them furiously saying that they had not booked and could not just sit down. Shortly after, a manager came to reinforce the message. "I explained that I could not confirm the booking because I would be on a flight from the United States, while the restaurant told me that my reservation had been cancelled." After several minutes of discussion, the manager relented and gave them the table. The extra charge on the bill The "nightmare dinner" continued with the surcharge on the wines. Instead of bringing the ones from the tasting menu, "they proposed different wines that cost us 200 euros more on the bill. My boyfriend is a sommelier, so we know the trick they pulled." Finally, the dessert. "I couldn't eat it: first they told me they couldn't give it to me because of my intolerance, denying the fact that they had cancelled my reservation with the intolerances. Then, when we found out that I was not intolerant, they told me that the kitchen was already closed," she concluded. The young woman did not want to name the restaurant, although many have asked her in the comments.
