My sister and I had lunch at La Rotonde while in Paris recently. We loved it so much, we came back a second time. We would have returned more often if we could have. We really enjoyed the escargots and roasted vegetable salad- the freshness, quality and flavors were awesome. We sat outside in the perfect September weather and there was no smoking, so that was a bonus. Icing on the cake, was, our now most favorite waiter in the world, Totoff. His attention to detail is superb. Totoff was attentive without hovering. He adjusted the sunbrella until we were in the cool shade, he arranged the linen, settings, and dishes egernomically and made it visually pleasing at the same time (we were actually afraid to move anything because we didn t want to offend or hurt Totoff s feelings ), and he made me the perfect iced coffee that wasn t on the menu.
If only Totoff could train others to hold the same high standard in service. Can we import Totoff to the US ? I would give 6 stars, in that case.
We hope to return to Paris and revisit La Rotonde and our Totoff, much sooner than later. Au revoir!
