Le Bookie

Friendly and welcoming staff, the pizza was very good with fresh ingredients

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!! I do not wish to support this establishment and I will not recommend it. There are many other restaurants in the neighborhood where employees are, I hope, treated with the respect they deserve. As for the food, I have nothing particular to say. It was okay, nothing more. However, what I saw that day deeply shocked me. The manager, a bald man wearing glasses (I unfortunately didn't dare ask his name), began to humiliate a young employee in front of all the customers because she had forgotten to pick up ice cubes from Picard. His tone was extremely aggressive. He said things like, "You should change careers," "Go home," "Do you think you own the place?" and that she was "not capable of doing her job." No one deserves to be treated this way, especially not in front of a whole room of customers. The girl seemed very young, probably a student. Her eyes were already swollen before the altercation, as if she'd already been through a lot. I saw this young woman being reprimanded and insulted in front of everyone, then crying for several minutes, in front of the other customers. It was an extremely difficult and uncomfortable scene to witness. At the end of the meal, I went to speak to the manager. Instead of acknowledging that his behavior was inappropriate, he justified himself by saying, "You don't know how many times I've told her," and "You don't know anything about the restaurant business." I'm not questioning the fact that a manager should correct an employee when a mistake is made. However, a good manager takes the person aside, calmly explains what went wrong, and helps them improve. They don't yell at them in front of all the customers as if they'd committed an unforgivable offense. Public humiliation is not management. I left feeling deeply uneasy. My heart ached for this young woman, who was simply trying to do her job. No one should be treated like that in the workplace, much less in front of clients. I sincerely hope this young employee finds a healthier work environment where she will be treated with kindness and respect. What I witnessed today is, in my view, simply unacceptable.

The pizzas are simply exceptional! You can taste the quality of the ingredients, the dough is delicious, and each pizza is prepared with great care. It's always a real pleasure to go there. Special mention for the Amoureuse, which is truly incredible. A warm and inviting place that I wholeheartedly recommend!

Visited several times and excellent pizza

I was looking for a nice little restaurant for a hot meal, not far from my hotel. I used geolocation and stumbled upon Le Bookie. I recommend "L'Amoureuse," which I enjoyed inside to avoid the smokers on the terrace. What a great idea! The music selection was perfect for my quarantine; I was in the mood for a Monday night! People asked me if I'd be back: definitely!
