Hi guys,
FIRST OF ALL- PLEASE PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE- I'll explain why by sharing my horrific experience at this restaurant- Sorry for the thorough story but I feel I have to share this so other tourists are not affected by this individual.
I went to this restaurant with my family after we had spent the day in beautiful Cannes...
We initially arrived and were asked to pick any table by one of the staff members (not the skinny bloke but the other guy that works there). We then began to decide where to sit (in a practically empty restaurant) and pulled out a chair at one of the tables but then due to the sun (before we had even sat down) we decided to move to the table adjacent (a perfectly humane thing to do you'd think).
Next thing we hear is a CHAIR BEING SLAMMED from the table we were initially at (bear in mind we hadn't even had the chance to put the chair back yet), we were then told by the skinny guy who came from nowhere (the picture attached shows him) to just decide where to sit and get on with it (honestly we barely took 2/3 minutes).
I know it sounds like we must've done something to trigger this, but I can solemnly say hand on my heart we did not.
Anyway my dad then said lets leave because his attitude isn't great so lets get going. So as we start to leave he starts to bark metaphorically speaking and shouting as we start to leave. So my dad said to him "we're leaving because your attitude isn't pleasant", he then walked up to my dad who is in his mid 50's and started to act in a threatening manner and continued shouting and squared up to my dad.
I intervened and so too did the local shop owners and I said to the guy "back off" at which point his attention turned to me...
He began to get abusive and use offensive language, we were told "we'll call the police" to which we could make absolutely no sense of, anyway we decided to avoid any issues and walk away being in a foreign country we didn't want any issues, this was while he was being restrained by other people. The few people that were at the restaurant also left in this time.
MAIN PART:
As I turned my back to walk away I got kicked by the guy on my arm from which I STILL HAVE BRUISING (4 days later) (I have taken pictures but won't attach them unless someone really wants to see them). I can only assume he got off his leash metaphorically speaking.
I took the kick and DID NOT REACT to this in any way as I am a TRAINEE DOCTOR and DO NOT WANT any convictions against my name affecting my future career especially due to someone so worthless.
I was dumbfounded by this mans behaviour, totally and utterly disgusting- he left me with a really bad image about France although he wasn't French himself but of another origin, its a shame they have someone like him.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE- IF YOU WANT TO BE OPPRESSED AND FEEL ON THE EDGE GO FOR IT- BUT JUST DON'T QUESTION THEM, OR TAKE MORE THAN 1 MINUTE DECIDING WHERE TO SIT OR ELSE YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.....
I BEG YOU TO AVOID THIS PLACE- I WISH I COULD GIVE THEM SUB ZERO!!
