On Monday, Williams claimed she and her kids were stopped from entering ‘an empty’ Paris restaurant.
A luxury Paris restaurant called out by Serena Williams has responded to the American tennis icon’s claims, saying they were “fully booked” on Monday when the former 23-time Grand Slam champion came to their rooftop bar for lunch.
Williams, who has been in Paris for the last 10 days for the Olympics, sent out a social media post on Monday that quickly received lots of attention. In a post published on X, the former three-time French Open champion said she and her kids were turned away after she tried to enter “an empty” restaurant called The Peninsula Paris.
In her post, Williams posted a photo of The Peninsula Paris and directly tagged them so no one could wrongly guess the restaurant in question.

The Peninsula Paris responds to Williams
“Dear Mrs. Williams, Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight. Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved,” The Peninsula Paris said in a reply to Williams.
In a follow-up post, the fancy restaurant added: “We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris.”
Meanwhile, Williams hasn’t made any responses to the restaurant’s statement. Also, the 42-year-old American didn’t decide to delete her post.
While the restaurant offering an explanation and apology is the least they could have done in this situation, it doesn’t change the fact that Williams was definitely feeling very annoyed over the entire situation and when she decided to call them out in such a harsh way.
