Bistrot Mavrommatis sur Paris

I've known this place for a few years and I usually go during the week. However, I made the mistake of going on a Saturday, being in the neighborhood. It was a mistake on my part because my sandwich, made by a young man, was terrible. It was full of oil, the ingredients were unbalanced, and the bread was completely broken. When I bit into it, I left half of it on the tray. A female employee was there when I arrived, but she left as soon as I got there, leaving her colleague alone to handle the cash register and make the sandwiches. I won't be going back on Saturdays. I deducted stars for the atmosphere because the two people there weren't welcoming or pleasant; I got the impression I was bothering them. Disappointing.

Friendly welcome, but lunchtimes get busy quickly (lots of people, which is a good thing!). The dishes are pleasant, but a little lacking in flavor for me. The desserts are very good. If the weather permits, get takeout from the Tuileries Gardens, located a stone's throw away.
