The food is by far the best we have eaten since the covid lockdowns were lifted. The escargot was one of the best I have ever tasted and my Boyfriend loved his Veal dish, my steak was perfect . All the food was perfect I did advise when I reserved that if was my BFs 80th birthday and as with the other higher end restaurants, they are excited we chose their restaurant to celebrate any birthdays and always give Complimentary Birthday Desert.
So I was surprised when one was not included and was Charged for a desert but they a candle was on it? No charge for that.:)
Our server was excellent. The owner was overly friendly at first and asked a lot of personal questions and suddenly he turned a bit hostile and accused us of being too personal?? We advised him he was the one who started the conversation. He continued to ignore during the rest of our visit?? Will I go back, probably, if he lets me in to enjoy some more of the escargot, if not it was good food experience. and I will have to go back to his competition. A word of thought. Never Treat Your House Guest Rude. We Chose You !

Best service I’ve had in a long time, and best Italian food I’ve ever eaten. The love and passion both front and back of house have for the food and ingredients they use is unrivalled. I will continue to recommend everyone I know to go here. Absolutely phenomenal

I called this restaurant today at 19:08 to check if they were taking reservations and if they had any tables available. The person that answered the phone says “Come on!! you’re calling now, it’s almost 8’o clock have a nice day in the most sarcastic tone ever and banged the phone”.
To the person that answered, just so you know I was visiting Paris Ontario and wanted to support a small business, that’s why I called.

Amazing restaurant with absolutely amazing food! The service is top notch class, done the way all restaurants should. The owner makes this place authentic and fun, his passion for food shows ever time you speak with him. I highly recommend going here, have never been disappointed!

OBNOXIOUS OWNER
The food may be wonderful and the service great ...BUT????...2 of my girlfriends and I were looking forward to our first night out since lockdown so we 'researched' which restaurant we should go to for a nice dinner out.... we should have gone with ANY other of the choices on our 'list' as I have never seen an owner of an establishment treat customers like we were treated...(more than once before we walked out)! We arrived and were greeted by the owner, from what I have read from other reviews, in his usual loud and overbearing way. We laughed off a few inappropriate comments as we were very much looking forward to trying out Cafe Andreou! We had made a reservation for 4 but only 3 of us could attend, for which we were rigidly "scolded" by the owner for not letting him know... a table for 3 or a table for 4 requires the same amount of 'social distancing' so we were not sure what the problem was but it was noted and we apologized for not notifying them of this change. We started our night with a choice of wine and proceeded to order our appetizers and main courses when one of my friends had a question about the menu. She was asking the server if she could add a pasta to the Shrimp Scampi appetizer and have that as her main. The owner 'swooped' in, rudely interrupting the server and aggressively telling us there were NO exceptions to the menu... Ok... we could accept that although it is an Italian Restaurant with plenty of pasta so how difficult is it to add some to the Shrimp Scampi appetizer???? However, he didn't stop there but proceeded to tell her that if she wanted shrimp and pasta, she should order the special, which also included Chorizo sausage. When she asked if they would make the special without the sausage he became more aggressive, saying that she could give the sausage to one of her friends! Is the food premade from a box or something that inhibits them from making "the special" without the sausage????? My friend graciously asked the owner to go away so she could continue to speak to our server to place her order. She chose a different option from the menu and, although we were shocked by his intrusive attitude, we felt it was over and we could get on with our night. That was until the owner returned to our table to ask if the 'problem' had been resolved. When I said that there was no problem just a simple question about the menu, he once again started up with us...aggressive and defending his menu and telling us not to worry "everything we make is delicious".... we had not once alluded to his food not being amazing... as a matter of fact, that was the one thing that kept us there after our first confrontation with this obnoxious little man! He then proceeded to tell us that 'this is HIS house and when we are in HIS house, we will do as we are told and eat what is offered'!!! Pardon me????? We are not his children nor his wife (not that this attitude is right for them either) but ...Pardon Me?????? Again... a simple question about the menu lead to this!!! I have never experienced a business owner acting like this toward their customers !! To say the least, we had no desire to give this man any more of our money so we asked for our bill and got ready to leave. When we indicated this to the owner, he did not apologize but rather ran back to the kitchen to stop our orders from being made!!!! He totally ignored us as we finished our glasses of wine and settled up our bill with our server....who I must add was so apologetic over and over again! How very sad that she not only lost out on a substantial tip but that she is the one left to apologize for her boss's behaviour!! I see from other poor reviews that this seems to be the only reoccurring complaint about Cafe Andreou.... perhaps the owner needs to find a hobby and stay away from his restaurant and let his capable staff and family members run things???? Once again....the food may be amazing (we wouldn't know!) and the service excellent but we will never be back to try this place again. And I wouldn't recommend anyone taking the chance of being accosted by the owner for asking a question about the menu...can't imagine what would happen if you actually had a problem with your meal!!!
