Breakfast at Le Meurice Restaurant, Paris! HONEST REVIEW

This place is 100% overrated and overpriced. I had such high expectations for my birthday, especially after seeing the beautiful restaurant advertised on Facebook. I didn’t think twice about making a reservation.

Upon my arrival, I assumed we would be seated in the next restaurant; however, the server informed me that it's for hotel guests only. This is a misleading advertisement!

At 7 a.m., the sky remains quite dark, resembling night time. Since the Le Meurice restaurant's policy requires a 48-hour notice to cancel if not they will charge 110 EUR for two persons. even if we don’t show up.

The security at the main entrance and the reception gentlemen are very friendly and graciously assist me with my coat.

I was quite taken aback by the poor behaviour exhibited by the staff at the Michelin-starred restaurant. The female server requested that I select only one croissant for breakfast, which I found to be quite absurd. How could a breakfast consist of merely a single croissant? Despite my decision to choose three, I still felt that the situation was quite uncomfortable.

These pot of jasmine green tea is priced at 16 euros, which is acceptable. However, the cost of the orange juice at 15 euros is overpriced. I thought it was in the menu package. Additionally, the server didn't offer much information and communicated less effectively than what you might expect at other Michelin-starred restaurants.

Let me tell you, what is the Continental breakfast in 5 stars, Le Meurice hotel's Michelin starred restaurant.

What I have for my breakfast. 1 small cup espresso, 1 glass of grapefruit juice, 1-3 very dry croissants, 1 bowl of excessively sour fruits should be discarded and not served to everyone.

The croissants were excessively dry, leading me to they were not freshly made on the day. The appearance resembles that of overnight croissants; however, pleasant perspective, while it is still flaky on the outside, it lacks the fluffiness on the inside. The texture is exquisite, reminiscent of honeycomb. Additionally, the fruits were not fresh; they were overly sour, causing me discomfort due to my sensitive teeth.

This was, without a doubt, the worst breakfast I have ever experienced in Paris. These avocado toast costs 34 euros, but the egg yolks aren't that lovely golden color. There's no question that O-Coffee café is far superior and has a much higher rating than this.

However, at this moment, what a delightful birthday surprise! My smile is shining bright!

I’m not giving it a rating to Le Meurice's restaurant. To be honest, the breakfast really isn't worth the 120 euros; the portions are tiny and the food isn't tasty at all, definitely below what you'd expect. This has been the most disappointing dining experience we’ve had in Paris. Once again it is definitely overrated! The security guards with a smile and a warm welcome and good bye!
