A recent trip to Paris called for an evening ride on the Seine, so we reserved a table for 4 at a resto near the boarding spot. Au Bon Accueil. Turned it to be an excellent choice, despite its location in tourism central, near the eiffel tower. Elegant, polished yet welcoming service. Superb food. See the photos. They say it all. P.S. Foie gras and creme brulée to die for! read more

Wonderful dinner. Great view of the Eiffel Tower from the outside. A little cold for us to eat outside. But the owner/waiter kind enough to take our picture when the tower lit up. Most importantly the food and service were excellent. The escargot was terrific along with the Beef Bourgogne. Onion soup was perfect. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and a wonderful peach marscapone. Definitely would highly recommend! read more

Food was amazing and the staff were nice. Right by the Eiffel Tower so you can eat here and head to the tower when it sparkles after. read more

This was our most memorable meal and I cannot believe I never wrote a review for it. Well 6 years later isn't too late... probably. I remember finding this restaurant randomly while browsing good dinner spots near the Eiffel Tower. The photos of the outdoor seating with a view of the tower was the main draw. The food turned out to be spectacular. My husband, who never really remembers specific dishes unless it's a standout, remembered the dessert here. It was a play on orange chocolate, with orange sauce, a white chocolate disk with some puree, and some mangos. He would randomly bring up this dish for years afterwards. The rest of the food was a blur. I remember my dessert as well though. I ordered the rum baba because I had seen it on the Great British Baking Show and had never tried it. The brought out the rum baba, which is already soaked in rum, with a bottle of rum. It was so boozy and delicious. I had already had a glass or two of wine with dinner so you can see why I don't remember anything besides the dessert and the view. All in all, a great experience! read more

Probably the best place that we visited to eat the entire time we were in Paris. We had a wonderful table, could see the Eiffel Tower perfectly, and we still think about how delicious our food was. read more

Absolument incroyable is how we felt about our entire dining experience at this Michelin, Bib Gourmand restaurant! We walked in pretty late in the evening on a weeknight without reservations and they were pretty busy, but able to accommodate us. We liked many things we saw in their menu and chose to start with their carrot soup, which was garnished beautifully and tasted great! They didn't have a starter salad on the menu, but I asked for one and they said they could make something... what they made was beautiful and outstanding! Our main was their sole meunière which looked outstanding when they brought it out to the buffet, where the maître d' de-boned and plated it for us. The 4 filets we got from it were perfectly seasoned and brought to temperature. The butter sauce complimented the fish perfectly, but wasn't totally needed as the flavors from the fish were excellent! Then the whipped potatoes that came with it were the best I've ever had - Truly Amazing! Last course was dessert and we chose their version of a housemade Napolen... it was unbelievable! The pastry was perfect! The vanilla bean cream was incredible and all the flavors and textures came together to make one perfectly incredible dessert! The service and the staff were excellent and provided the best attention and service to us while we dined with them, with the maître d' being very entertaining and engaging. The venue is cute, quaint, and has excellent French décor. Their wine list and by-the-glass offerings were spot on for our dinner as well! Highly recommend giving them a try! read more

A beautiful restaurant not far from the Eiffel Tower. We went there for dinner last week and had a marvelous experience. Service is excellent and the food is fabulous. My apologies, I cannot remember what I had for the main course but I do remember that I had a tuna tartare for the starter that was heaven! I also had the cheesecake for dessert that was the best ever. Hubby had the chocolate mousse for dessert which he loved! Highly recommend this little gem for anyone in Paris. When we return, we will be back! read more

Such an amazing restaurant and one of the best dining views of the Eiffel Tower in the city!!! You will need a reservation to dine here as many walk ins were turned away. Had a wonderful experience eating here, we came on a Thursday, the place was packed but we scored a outside table. Waiter was very friendly, funny and spoke both English and French. I started with the Tuna carpaccio, had the Hake fish for my main and ended with the chocolate mousse dessert. The appetizer and dessert were plated to perfection, the main not so much. It definitely could have used a little plating work but tasted great! We came for a double birthday so they put candles in both our desserts, it was very cute. My friend got the rum soaked cake and as a funny thing they brought over an entire bottle of cognac and said to have as much as we want, complimentary. I will be suggesting this place to everyone who goes to Paris! read more

If you're in Paris and want Romaric Erving make sure to make reservations here! We ordered from the prix fix menu. Everything was phenomenal. Staff was friendly. Efficient. Some patrons tried to dine without reservation but it wasn't possible. Au Bon Accueil deserve everyone of it's Michelin starts. Ambiance was perfect. We sat near the window. Quiet, cozy and The Eiffel was just in sight. Can't wait to go back. read more

Just enjoyed a wonderful Valentine''s Day dinner at my favorite restaurant in Paris, Au Bon Accueil. An attentive and friendly staff, a fresh and tasty limited menu that changes with the seasons, and an upscale romantic bistro setting on a quiet street near the Eiffel Tower are some of the reasons that earned a Michelin rating for this neighborhood gem. This was a return visit for us like many of its frequent diners. Order anything on the menu with confidence that it will be a unique and exceptional dining experience. Shockingly reasonable prices. 39 euros for 3 courses and reasonable wine prices. The 3 course Valentine's Day menu was well worth the 65 euros. read more

This elegant bistro sits in a quiet street, a few steps from the Eiffel Tower. Service is impeccable, and the food is a mix of modern and classic French, very tasty. They offer reasonably priced menus, with various options depending on your appetite or wallet. I would recommend making a reservation as this restaurant is not very big and popular with both tourists and Parisians. read more

Au Bon Accueil - Great view from one of the few tables on the sidewalk. - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This was the best meal I had in my life. I did all three courses with the dessert and it was amazing! Completely worth the price, the food wasn't just a small piece of the entree but it was really enough to be full but it was also so delicious. Especially the dessert! Highly recommend, you won't regret it. You need a reservation or just go right when they open for dinner! If you sit outside, you'll be eating with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower! :) read more

We had an wonderful lunch here after going to the Eiffel Tower. I ordered the prix fixe three course meal (36€) and went with the salmon and mussel ceviche, duck, and brioche pudding. Everything was delicious. The entrees also came with a side of mashed potatoes. It was so creamy and butter. Loved it! Yelper Annie T. had the lamb entree. I had a bite of it and was in love. So soft and tender. The menu was in French, but the waiter did his best to explain what the dishes were. We came here close to the end of lunch hours so it was pretty empty. The food came out pretty slow though. read more

Since we just had one night in Paris, I spent a lot of time researching restaurants within walking distance of our hotel. We were really looking forward to a lovely dinner in Paris. When we arrived, the Maitre D would not let us in and told us we needed to leave as they had just gotten a booking of a large party. I told him I had made a reservation weeks ago, but he said once again, we needed to leave. He was incredibly rude, did not apologize and I was never contacted by phone, text or email ahead of time to tell me they would not honor our reservation. When I was contacted by The Fork (the site I used to make the reservation) for a review, I found not only had someone put down that I had already left a review but it also listed us as "no shows"! The management of this restaurant is rude, dishonest and disrespectful. Don't waste your time. We stumbled upon Les Cocottes and were treated like royalty. We had an amazingly delicious dinner! Go there instead!!! read more

Great food, wine, service and view. The fish of the day was superb, so flakey, cooked just right. The chocolate ganache was the best ever!

Amazing! Best view and best food in Paris. We Absolutely love this place. It was a short walk from our hotel and the Eiffel tower. I highly recommend it read more

Probably one of our favorite meals in Paris. Friendly staff, beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower (we were sitting outside), good food. There is limited seating, so definitely make a reservation if you'd like to sit inside. We wanted to sit outside, since both the weather and the view were gorgeous. :) The service was also a bit slow, but luckily we had a lot of time to relax and enjoy our meal. I had the octopus dish for my appetizer, which was delicious! Lots of dill, very light. I had a fish dish for my entree, which had similar garnishes/flavors as my initial octopus dish, but it was also tasty and light. My husband had pate for his appetizer and a duck dish for his entree, which he seemed to enjoy as well, although not as much as he enjoyed my dishes. :) For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, which was quite different from the tiramisu we were used to, but also tasty. read more

Oh my goodness. Do not skip this spot when you're in town, must try! You can not beat the 3 course meal for €36 euros. Food: I had the salmon for the first course, very well seasoned and fresh. Portion is very generous. Then I had the grilled pork for my second course. You can smell the smokiness once the waiter put the plate on the table. Pork was a bit dry but very delicious. Then I had the tiramisu for dessert. BOY! The alcohol in the tiramisu is super strong. I ate half of the tiramisu because I'm extremely full. Service: excellent. The waiter explained every dish on the menu to me, and is very attentive. Overall: I will definitely come back because you can not beat the price when the food is absolutely amazing. read more

This was our first stop after landing in Paris. My family of 4 was exhausted and hungry. I had made reservations several weeks before because I had read good reviews. It was excellent! They normally only seat groups of two at the outside Eiffel Tower tables but they put two tables together to accommodate my family. When the waiter found out we were American he kindly translated every menu item and we ordered one of everything! Their set menu is very reasonably priced and the food was authentic and delicious. My kids can be picky eaters and they tried everything and loved it. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Au Bon Accueil - Enjoying our wine before dinner with a GORGEOUS view! - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Very good food with very good service. There is not an English menu, but the waiters are very attentive and will help with anything you need translated. Tables are very close together, to the point you have to move them to get in and out of your seat. We sat between two other couples and struck up conversations. If you're looking for privacy, this is not the place, but the atmosphere was very friendly, warm and inviting. We optioned for the three course meal, and I had the veal with asparagus, duck, and a chocolate cookie with ice cream for dessert. It was all very good, and filling. It is more on the business casual side than the casual. read more

The best best meal I had in Paris and in general. Had an excellent 3 course meal for 37 euros with a bottle of wine wine (24 euros and excellent). Octopus entree was to die for and the asparagus was also good-- both served its function of piquing our appetite. The duck leg confit with beet was divine. The duck melted in my mouth. The beef was excellent too. Some nice dessert finished it off. It's amazing how good the food was given its prime location with a view of the eiffel from outside seats. The wait staff was attentive and absolutely fantastic, with one speaking great english and giving us good explanations of the menu. The ambience is comfortable, leisurely, but still quite nice. Would love to return if i find myself back in Paris. read more

Au Bon Accueil is located just down a small side street from the Eiffel Tower. After reading many reviews prior to our trip to Paris, this seemed like the least touristy place in the area for a nice dinner. We were excited about the 3-course option for just 35 euro. Not too shabby! Our meal began with a martini glass filled with delicious olives and some bread. Neither I nor my boyfriend speak French, so we took our best shots at the menu. I imagine we could have asked for menus in English, but where's the fun in that? For our first course, I ended up with salmon over cucumber "tagliatelle" and he got a celery soup with bacon and croutons. To this day my boyfriend still says this is the best thing he ate in Paris! For entrees, I ordered veal with mushrooms and he ordered pork with medley vegetables. Both entrees came with a side of mashed potatoes. The entrees were both very good, but neither were exceptional. And for dessert, I have no clue what either of us got, but I remember it being delicious! See my photos to get a glimpse of the mysterious desserts. We also were given a few treats with the check. For 35 euro and just a few minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower, this place is truly a gem. The service was great (albeit typically Euro-slow), the ambiance was very "Paris" and the food was delicious. read more

Beware of places by the Eiffel Tower. But not this place! First time in Paris, ate lousy tourist food with a view of Eiffel Tower. This time I planned ahead and found this place. It was a good choice. While there was no view of the tower from inside, it is still located in the shadow of the famous Parisian landmark. It is only a 5 minute walk away, but seems a world away. Service, food, and atmosphere were all first class. Total bill for two complete meals with wine was 93 euros in 2013. read more

Great food and ambiance. Service was fast. I'll be back

I wanted to provide an updated review. As a little girl, I always dreamed of coming to Paris. Let me tell you, this restaurant is a dream come true. I come back to Au Bon every year for dinner (going on five years) and it never disappoints. This year, we came TWICE. Because why mess with a good thing? Clients and coworkers are impressed every single time. It is by far the most amazing meal I have ever had! And the views cannot be beat! My additional tip is to ask your host for wine and food recommendations. The best Bordeaux's I have ever had were at this restaurant! See you next year, if I do not make a special return trip sooner just to visit you! read more

A more upscale bistro as evidenced by the white table clothes. Although we walked in at 8 pm to a restaurant with just one old lady eating by herself with her dog, which was slightly concerning, the place quickly began to fill up. Perhaps it is the well-priced 32 euro prix fixe menu or being a stone's throw away from the Eiffel Tower, either way, the resto did have a balance of tourists and locals. For the non-French speaking visitors, English was not an issue. We (2 of us) had the following: Starters: Snails -- a classic dish of snails (served in shell) in a herb butter sauce. Chestnut soup -- Super. A warm bowl of soup that was deep in flavor. The croutons added a much needed and very pleasing crunch. Mains: Calf liver with potato purée -- as rich and decadent as one would expect. It was great. The potato puree, which is legendary at this place, is worth the hype. Steak -- a nice piece of steak cooked well and pretty flavorful. Desserts/Cheese: Chocolate cherry cake -- a winner of a dessert. A great classic flavor combination that has been nicely done here with a mix of textures. It was really enjoyable. Cheese tray -- a large selection of cheeses from the peaceful to the pungent. The best was the stinky runny unpasteurized prize offered here. Overall, it was a nice place to visit. The service could not have been friendly (a great way to start a vacation in Paris). And being that it is close to the Eiffel Tower, it is very easy to leave the place and stroll right over to the Eiffel Tower for a nighttime stroll and light show. read more

I'm familiar with Chez les Anges and had enjoyed a few meals there in the past. Same team behind this one now from what I understand (although for some reason i think either they've only more recently taken over Au Bon Accueil or recently made some changes, so there *might* be some new variations from past reviews. The location is right next to the Eiffel Tower and if you score a seat on the terrace you will enjoy a very close up view of it during dinner. Inside it's a small, cosy, cute, crowded French bistro. The decor is standard and sweet and would tick the usual boxes for a tourist looking for a typically French dining experience or for a local looking for something nice but not OTT. I started with a smoked carpaccio of veal. Thickly sliced with a hefty dose of smoke, it was classed up comfort food worth the trip. My main of magret de canard was perfectly cooked and came with a few potato slices. All of our dishes came with a small bowl of potato purée that was so tasty you just know its packed with butter and giving your heart a work out. But so good. I finished with a cheese plate - small (which is okay by me especially considering menu price is 32 euro for three courses!) while the cheeses were the usual suspects (goat, Camembert and Beaufort) they were excellent quality. Bread is fresh baked crispy crunchy on outside and warm yeasty tasty on inside. We had some lovely both red and white domaine de la janesse. I like their wines so no complaints from me there. One issue was the long waits. I arrived at 8:30 but we didn't get the first course until after 9:30. I wasn't in a big rush and was having nice wine and with great company so it didn't really bother me - but after awhile it did seam like it was really dragging. Overall excellent quality/price ratio and I'll definitely go back. read more

We went to this restaurant for our special night out and Paris and are so glad we did. The staff was very attentive. We had the choice of sitting inside or outside and were glad we sat inside because it felt very special. Everyone was dressed nicely- we were there Friday night at 9pm. The food was consistently delicious- the veal appetizer was amazing, and the pork belly was great. Left very full and happy, and our wallets were happy too! read more

Friends made reservation here for our first night in Paris and it was a true delight. Close to the Eiffel Tower, intimate and great for a small group of friends. Everything, all courses, were delicious. Sauces as elegant and tasty as you would expect from a French restaurant. From the chicken, duck and steak main courses, to the pate, vichyssoise and salad starters, and ending with the chocolate gateaux and sponge cake with rum. Highly recommend! Reservations helpful, esp. for 6. With two bottles of a delicious Bordeaux wine, the total cost for six was 360 euros. A great value and find!! read more
