I'd texted Ferdi earlier in the week asking for a lunch booking and they informed me, the only day they have lunch is Saturday from 1-4 and it's on a walk in basis. I was flying into Paris on her birthday and knew I'd have to put my burger dinner off until I arrived. Great spot! I'd bookmarked Ferdi because I always try to honor my Grammy's birthday with a burger for dinner. Overall the food itself was pretty good I liked how they mixed in the Spanish influence but it's just sooo touristy bc of kim k it's not a MUST SEE imo. perhaps because we were there for a bit longer and happened to order more food. I will add more later about the service and ambience, but I didn't like how the waiter kind of asked me in my party for a tip, but we didn't hear him ask the table next to us. I was extremely shocks but also understood. We ended up finding like five parties after us complain, because there are no burgers left and even a party of six got up and just left that day. We were a little bit disappointed, but still stayed. Also, when we got there at 8:30, the burgers were fully sold out, and that's exactly what they were famous for. My friend went through apps, and her meal with NO DRINK! Then as we asked the bartender about the mojitio she goes "do you wanna it or not" as she brings it an HOUR and a HALF later.I came here with my friend had to make a reservation a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot in advance, and also they ignored me when I was texting them in English but when I switch to French, they suddenly excepted my reservation. Should've known since it's a hyped up place. I know the service in Europe sucks but really I've never experienced something so slow. We were a table of 3, asked for aperol spritz, martini, and a mojitio, we didn't get our mojitio for OVER an hour.Then we tell the bartender and before we can even say anything she says "I don't do free drinks" no one was asking for a free drink but I mean an hour and a half wait for ONE DRINK? no apology, NOTHING. Might I add, a server myself.Trust me I don't have high standards and I'd never complain about a wait or slower service due to a busy night but this service was just UNACCEPTABLE.Let's start with the waiter mixing up our order, okay it happens, but still being charged for the wrong food? Ehhh that's a no from me. Let me guess, Kim sent you here? Let me just say this is the worst service I've experienced in all of Europe, and I am well traveled. Wow! The mac and cheese was sooooo good, the burger was fine too.I had a glass of Boudreaux that paired perfectly with my meal.Great service, food was out quickly and while I was encouraged to stay for dessert, I was on my way shortly after finishing because I'd seen so many people waiting and really wanted to free up my table for others to enjoy and experience the famed cheese burger :)Very thankful for a tasty new lunch spot! The décor was exciting and the vibes were just right.I of course ordered the burger since this is what I came for, and had the mac and cheese. I had a little table in front of the bar and service was perfect! I was traveling alone and really enjoy cozy little spots like this. I was staying! Although waiting for anything is difficult I knew I wanted to celebrate my Grammy's birthday and regardless of what city I'm in I make it an effort to always have a burger if I'm not at home to have it.I waited out front and was called in shortly thereafter. Well somehow, 1215 turned into past 2p and I was starting to grow anxious that I'd miss securing my Ferdi burger for lunch.Luckily I arrived after 2p and was told the wait would be about 35 minutes. This worked out perfectly for me.I'd planned on arriving at 1p but actually arrived by 1215p and no one was in line yet so I decided to go around the corner to Chanel.
