But...I suppose I may have been exaggerating a bit! But there does seem to be a Gallic preponderance among waiting staff.<BR/><BR/>I do take your point that the nationality of the staff do generally reflect the nationality of the cuisine, but is putting on an accent (a la Paul) one step too far?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612613322837606221.post-49799907867231482022009-03-25T08:03:00.000+00:002009-03-25T08:03:00.000+00:00I don't think it's all 'good' restaurants. I think...I don't think it's all 'good' restaurants. <BR/><BR/>I think it's just the ones that do french food. I suppose they just want to try and recreate an authentic french eating experience? <BR/><BR/>I think it really only happens when you step into a french restaurant or in the case of Paul's, a boulangerie. <BR/><BR/>Same reason why there are chinese accents in Yauatcha, Italian accents in Zilli Fish and Indian accents in Benares(with a french speaking sommellier funnily enough) , although cambio de tercio has italian and south american waiters and I am pretty certain that barrafina's and bocca di lupo have english people serving food. <BR/><BR/>There you go. Not all 'good' restaurants have french accents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
