The location is very nice, near a picturesque  lake.
The food was OK but nothing amazing. For the prices, I would expect the taste to match the look and presentation of the food.
Service was quite bad to be honest. They were testing/fixing one of the alarms and we had to endure the noise. The staff did nothing in terms of apologising or making a gesture to make it up to us. Waiter very uptight, made me feel uncomfortable.

First time to eat in this restaurant, good food quantity, but the quality is very poor, whilst eating we found a “human hair mixed on the food,, so we were disgusted and told the waiter to cancel the food that was a human hair that we found… when we pay our bills, they still included and still incurred that disgusting food that we paid.
Therefore, we don’t recommend anybody to eat in this restaurant, “Les Terrass Restaurant in Paris, near, or just opposite of Mercure Hotels.
