Restaurants in Paris are notoriously picky about who they decide to let dine.
A TikTok influencer and her friend were recently bounced from a Parisian restaurant because they were showing too much cleavage.
At least it’s not as tragic as that time an exclusive and high-end restaurant in the Champs-Élysées area used a dress code excuse to disallow black patrons from entering the premises.
While that racism scandal resulted in legal battles, it seems quite a few people are on the side of the restaurateur this time around for not allowing the ladies inside.
The lady in question, Polska Babinks, uploaded a video to TikTok in which she argues with the male owner, who declares they’re not “dressed properly”, per The New York Post:
“My friend Tootatis and I were prevented from entering this restaurant because of our cleavage,” Babinks wrote in the text placed on top of the video, as translated from French.
“A neckline = No restaurants,” Babinks captioned the video, per the translation.

The incident has sparked a debate in which many people, including French public figures, are siding with the restaurant owner:
“Where’s the scandal? He doesn’t want bare b**bs in his restaurant,” TV host Benjamin Castaldi wrote…
Producer Guillaume Genton said he has rarely seen “human beings as stupid” as the influencer and her friend.
Another commenter noted that it’s “not a nightclub”, and “not a striptease bar”, which means the owner did the right thing by refusing them:

Comments under the Post’s article also side with the restaurant owner::
1) The restaurant sets the rules : dress code equals service. Next time call ahead and ask. 2) Don’t think that whatever is permissible in the US or where you originate from is allowed in other countries. 3) Just go somewhere else. You aren’t entitled to service.
Hopefully, she managed to get a meal elsewhere.
The last thing the world needs is ‘hangry’ influencers roaming the streets.
