English people are pretty famous for ripping off other cultures and then slowly chip away the authenticity and character of said-culture.The result of this process is usually places like Bonjour Brioche.
You shouldn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes for a Croque Monsieur, and a bistro is supposed to be an intimate setting for a quick bite to eat and conversation, but because everyone feels the need to be a trendy douche this place is jam packed and overpriced.
My solution, instead of publicly submitting yourselves to this bastardized French tradition, buy a bistro table set at Home Depot, Google an authentic croque monsieur recipie and put it all together in the privacy of your over-priced basement apartment. Or if you own a home, charge it all to your nearly maxed out credit card and enjoy those previous moments where you can escape reality.
This is a stupid place - don't bother.
