"We’ve established that restaurants in Pézenas do not do breakfast and so on a Monday morning we ventured out to Place Gambetta to grab a coffee. Our normal haunt ‘L’Arc en Ciel’ was closed and so we graduated to the restaurant next door. Like many...in Place Gambetta this restaurant has a seated area that goes out into the square and when we arrived at about 10:00 there were only 3 other people drinking coffee there. The greeting that we got was curt, no smile, no bonjour or any real reflection of interest. We gave our order for two cafe creme to the waitress who then continued to wipe down the boards surrounding the restaurant for a minute or two before taking it into the restaurant. There seems to be no rush on her part. It was served relatively quickly after that albeit in a cup the handle of which was solid and consequently impossible to put ones fingers through to pick up easily. After serving us the waitress then proceeded to stand on the other side of the restaurant and shout greetings to others across and around the street. Distracting and not particularly necessary. Given there are probably 5-6 restaurants in very close proximity on Place Gambetta one would assume that prices would align. However not here, Royal Galcier charge €3 for a Cafe Creme whilst directly across L’Arc en Ciel’ charge €2.50 in a far more friendly and welcoming environment and with a cup that has a hole in the handle!"
