This is a cool little French restaurant I went past yesterday in Sydney’s CBD. It has great reviews. The photos online are so enticing. Their website tantalises me with its promise of authentic food and a great atmosphere. Inside the decor looks amazing.

Is it accessible?

I saw the ramp so wondered if it was ‘accessible’. It wasn’t opened to ask. When I say the words ‘accessible’ my mind takes me to a restaurant with no stairs and a toilet I can use easily enough. That’s what I need. There’s no mention on their website so not getting my hopes up but AI seems to think so. Who would you trust?

Let’s ask a human

Time to go to the source! Looks like TripAdvisor and AI have it wrong. This is the feedback from the restaurant.

“We do not have a lift, there are about 12/14 stairs to go downstairs to the bathroom”.

It doesn’t mean I won’t go there. I will be sussing out my surroundings to see if there is an accessible bathroom somewhere nearby. It wouldn’t be the first time that I have had to improvise…that restaurant does look amazing.
