Power cuts, due to a thunderstorm, had resulted in orders for 100 takeaway pizzas. The restaurant was full, for the same reason. Clearly they were overwhelmed, but were charming with waiting customers and got through the challenge in an unflappable manner. I waited for my meal, nursing a Pastis, and chatting with other patrons. Everyone was in great humour, and the occasional loss of power to the restaurant (only emergency lighting) added to the excitement. When the food came, it was lovely. I had intended to have a pizza, but changed my mind when I saw how very big they were! Reactions of the other clients suggested that they all enjoyed their various meals. I was slightly disappointed that they did not stick Pelforth Breune, but this is a personal foible and did not detract from a very pleasant (although somewhat protracted) meal. Full marks got great performance under extreme pressure. I look forward to the opportunity to eat there again when things are maybe quieter.
