Germain

If u are hungry and happen to be in st germain in paris don't go into a trendy resto called   germain. We ate there this weekend and we were in for a huge dissapointment. We chose it due to the fact that it didn't offer a touristy menu and the beautiful decor. The waiter was friendly which is great for Paris but once the plates started coming my mouth started dropping.. 24 euro foie GRAS with no chutney, toasts which were hard as can be, followed by snakee gambas. This plate killed my French experience. The rice tasted like the rice I give my two year old ( no salt no nothing), 3 moreilles mushroom and four gambas.. The gambas were great buy everything else was a disgrace for the city of food. Desserts I can't tell you since we didn't dare go there.  By they way the baby rice with gambas was 30 euros!!! Yes, I'm sure you are as outraged as me. In any case, this teaches me a lesson. If u don't know an area go for touristy.. Even if it tastes bad it won't cost a furtune. By the way, when I told this to manage she said: I understand it's not to your taste..
