Friends had moved from Rome to Paris and in our WhatsApp chat they dropped ideas for things I might…read moreconsider during my Paris stay. Amongst them, they threw in the idea of Sunday afternoon roast chicken at Brutos for which they said reservations were needed and quickly grabbed. If you're feeling overwhelmed by hoofing around Paris all day, the notion of a late afternoon lunch of a whole roast chicken holds sway and when you waltz into the warm embrace of Brutos you'll know you've chosen perfectly. That embrace comes not only in the food, but in both the atmosphere and service level. This is a restaurant that would also find success in San Francisco (high praise). After leading with wine, beer, a delicately beautiful asparagus starter (€14), and beef tartare (€16), two of us shared one whole roast chicken (€58) which was stuffed with both a lemon and an onion. Both would be a good accompaniment to the chicken but I only came upon them as we neared the end. Fries accompany the chicken and mustard is a good accompaniment to request (Brutos stocks no catsup) if the provided dip is too rich for your palate. I opted for a 2:30pm reservation, scooping up the last time slot available and staying until what appeared to be closing time, though I felt no rush or prodding. From start to finish, Brutos was a lovely experience and, as my reliable friends noted, a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Paris.

Both my colleague and I picked the 19EUR steak without additional information and it turned out to be 600g, which was insanely huge and unexpected. The meat was tough and unflavourful. I was glad i asked for it well-done because the meat was too thick and the middle was pink, just how i like it...tho the meat was still not tasty. Service was okay, ambiance was nice. It's okay for its value.

When smoking, we had to outside but weren't allowed to get our coats from the coatcheck, so we were freezing. My friend wanted to keep his backpack because it contained his work computer and someone, who seemed to be the owner or head manager, told him he could just leave - straight off the bat (I'm not omitting any escalation here). Our 40$ meals were cold and three others contained expired shrimps. Some returned their plate and one of us dared to eat it and got sick the following day. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. IT SEEMS THAT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS THEY THINK THEY CAN NEGLECT THE FOOD AND SERVICE. WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE.

When we said to him that this is not polite, he just replied that "I don't care, this is Paris and I don't care if you never come back again because my bar is always full". He continued with some racist comments to our Indian friends and he put some plastic cups on our table to put there our drinks and go. I told him in english that this is tragic and he 'll have a problem if he continuous to treat his customers like that and he replied to me that he doesn't care what my opinion is because I am an english person! (btw I 'm not) AVOID THIS BAR, so that some rude racist bar owners understand that they cannot treat so badly to their customers. There are many other bars at the neighborhood so you can give this guy a good lesson.
