Cour des Vosges - Evok Collection

This review is about the salon du thé where we came for breakfast, NOT for the hotel. We ordered 4 Le Parisien breakfasts, which consists of a hot drink and either tartines or a selection of pastries (viennoiseries). We ordered one Americano coffee with soya milk, one Royal Ceylon tea, one breakfast tea, one hot chocolate, each with pastries - 4 Le Parisien breakfasts. We got a latte with dairy milk, a Royal Ceylon tea and two hot chocolates, each came with tartines (bread, toasted, which came with jam and butter). No sign of pastries. So nothing was as ordered. I informed the waiter (not the one who'd taken the order I should add) that we wanted the pastries not the bread. I also asked for the breakfast tea that we'd ordered. (At that point we were prepared to accept that the latte instead of the Americano was acceptable as we couldn't imagine that soya milk had not been used). He said sorry but that we could keep the bread and he would bring the pastries. We were then brought 4 croissants and a Royal Ceylon tea. Then came the bill. 4 breakfasts plus 4 croissants plus a tea! There followed a palava for 20 minutes to eventually ensure that the actual order was billed and paid for not all the things I hadn't ordered. This included a refund that I got before I had paid for anything at all! (When asked for my card at that point I'd expected a cancellation of an item and an amendment to the original bill). N'importe quoi indeed.
