Paris Trip πŸ‡«πŸ‡· ✈️ The Worst Italian Restaurants in Paris πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

The Italian restaurant nearby, just a quick 6-minute walk from our hotel, has received excellent reviews on Google. Tonight is our first dinner in Paris. The staff is friendly and accommodating. A bottle of beer costs only 6 euros, which is much cheaper compared to other restaurants and cafes.

We ordered a signature pasta dish and an Italian diavola pizza. The sauce was too much, the base was too wet, the cheese lacked flavor depth, and the salami was too salty. The pasta had an overpowering taste of olive oil and garlic. Unfortunately, despite being very hungry, we did not enjoy our meals. The first few bites were okay, but then it became too salty and oily.

We have no complaints about the affordable food, even though it looks good. However, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had in Paris.

Here's the receipt for our order. Please make a note of it. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the staff is friendly, and the food is served hot. However, the pizza was too salty and the pasta was greasy, with flavors that didn't quite hit the mark.

The restaurant's glass room design and lovely dΓ©cor make it a great spot for capturing photos or filming videos. We're thrilled to be in Paris for the first day and can't wait to start exploring the city. The food didn't dampen our mood at all.

When asked about the meal before leaving, I mentioned that it was too salty and greasy. The staff then suggested that we should have informed them earlier so they could replace any unsatisfactory dishes. This is my honest review of this restaurant; it did not meet our expectations, so I choose not to give it a rating. We decided to go to a local grocery store instead to buy some snacks and fruits because we didn't eat much. Back at the hotel feeling tired. Oh, what a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower from our room. Goodnight everyone! Sweet dreams!

Paris Le Bouchon Parisien - Honest Restaurant Review

Great dining option near the Eiffel Tower, just a quick 2-minute walk away. I searched for the best restaurant in the vicinity using Google and found the following information. (Le Bouchon Parisien has a rating of 9.3/10. The Fork users have rated it as follows: Food Quality: 9.3/10; Service: 9.4/10; Atmosphere: 9.1).

The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and attentive staff. No matter if you favour a comfortable terrace or an elegant interior, you are guaranteed to enjoy a fantastic dining experience.

The ambiance is lovely and relaxing, perfect for a meal in the heart of Paris. It's a good option if you're in the area, but be prepared for the cost and choose your dishes wisely.

The prices for beverages can be quite high, particularly for drinks. I found it astonishing that a 50 centiliter beer cost 12 euros for just one drink.

While the beef may not be the best quality, our French fries are a standout - perfectly crispy and delicious.

The food is decent overall, catering more towards tourists. The mussels are fresh and the wine sauce is creamy and flavourful.

One dish to avoid is the ribeye, as it was dry, burnt, and chewy. Not recommended.

My husband did not find pleasure in his beef dishes, so I suggested that he speak to the waiter after the first bite and request a different dish. However, he chose not to do so!

The food quality is mediocre, the prices are steep, and it is unusual for waiters to request tips in Paris.

The total cost of the meals was 82 euros, which included 2 meals and 2 beers. This price allowed us to dine at various places and enjoy delicious food.

Although my husband did not particularly enjoy his beef dishes, he did not complain about it. Therefore, I have no further comments on the matter.
I gave a restaurant honest review a rating of 6 out of 10. It is better than average, which is quite positive! In general, it is satisfactory, except for one beef dish that falls below the expected quality.

A brief stroll, only a 2-minute walk away from our hotel, Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel.

My husband enjoys teaching couples how to pose for pictures. It brings him joy to see them happy. Naturally, they are eager to assist us in return for the photographs.

We have a preference for video over photo. Return to the hotel, unwind, and savour the breath-taking views of the Eiffel Tower.

The check-in time at the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel hotel begins at 04:00 PM. We inquired about the possibility of an early check-in, and fortunately, the receptionist agreed without any additional fees.

Enjoy!

Paris Hotel with Eiffel Tower Views - Pullman Hotel Room Tour


We used an Uber to get to our hotel and got there early. The reception was really friendly and allowed us to check in early and check out late at 12pm. Check out is at 11am and check in at 3pm. We spent £550 for a night at this hotel in April 2024, which included breakfast. By signing up for membership, we got a discount rate that is non-refundable, and it also covered breakfast in the restaurant.

The price varies depending on the season, daily rate, and availability. However, it's worth noting that the current price has increased to £1252 per night [DELUXE ROOM, 1 king size bed, 1 sofa bed, balcony with view of Eiffel Tower] during the summer months of July to August 2024.

I was surprised by the doubling of the price, possibly due to July being the month of the Paris Olympics with high tourist numbers and almost full bookings.

We had an amazing experience at the hotel. The rooms were so cozy, and the hotel's proximity to the Eiffel Tower was just perfect. The breakfast buffet was top-notch, with delicious French croissants and cakes that were simply divine. The service was impeccable, with friendly waitstaff and a high level of attention to detail. I must say a big thank you for the amazing service provided.

Fruits in Paris are quite pricey, but they appear to be of high quality. When I tried a large mango in Paris for the first time, it cost me around £15. It was incredibly juicy with a natural sweetness and a mango flavor. While it wasn't the best mango I've ever had, it was still very good. One interesting thing to note is that the peel had an unusual floral scent, which added a unique but pleasant twist to its taste.

A helpful tip: the final light show ends at 11pm, and darkness doesn't set in until around 10pm in Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with breath-taking balcony views of the Eiffel Tower - it felt like a dream; such a beautiful and relaxing experience. Paris is a destination we have visited numerous times. With each visit, my husband and I become more romantic. We couldn't stop taking pictures and videos.

Having a forever love is a beautiful thing, and it's great that we're confident in the relationship we've built. 

Our visit was truly unforgettable, thanks to everything being just right. We highly recommend it!
Thank you for watching!

Breakfast Buffet at Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel Restaurant

Enjoy our buffet breakfast and one of the best brunches in Paris at FRAME, the restaurant featuring a terrace with stunning views of the Eiffel Tower. I would rate this 9 out of 10. The views are absolutely breath-taking, so I highly recommend reserving a room with a view of the Eiffel Tower.

It's definitely a worthwhile, with rates varying from April to May 2024 at £550 to £600 per night, depending on the season and availability. However, it's important to note that the current price has risen to £1252 for a single night. A helpful hint: the final light show ends at 11pm, and darkness doesn't fall in Paris until around 10pm.

The hotel's location is incredibly central to all the famous sights in Paris. We had a seamless check-in experience at the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel hotel. Despite arriving at 10:30 am, earlier than expected, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was already prepared for us. The Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel hotel is truly a gem with its ideal location for sightseeing. The staff members were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The breakfast served in the hotel restaurant was of excellent quality and reasonably priced considering the area. It was a true joy and worth every penny. The ambiance was exquisite, the staff were incredibly professional, the tableware was stunning, and the food itself was simply perfect. If you love coffee, feel free to order a hot cappuccino. It's absolutely delicious, and you can even ask for more than two hot drinks if you'd like :) If you're looking for a leisurely breakfast with all the trimmings, definitely worth it. I am a big fan of authentic honey, and this restaurant offers genuine honey for its customers. I thoroughly enjoyed a small bowl of it, which made me feel great and also helped to soothe my throat. The orange juice was freshly squeezed, and all the hot food items including croissants were prepared right on the spot. I spent over an hour savouring it. With its central location, we found it convenient to visit most attractions, and there was even a metro station just a short walk away. We highly recommend this breakfast buffet and will definitely choose to stay here on our next visit to Paris!
