I think the best Boeuf Bourguignon in Paris! I have now been here three times and they never disappoint. I have ordered the beef bourguignon every time and it is so very yummy! The service is great as well. English spoken but very patient with those who want to practice their rusty, broken French as well. Great wine list and service, all around super pleasant dining experience. Try it! read more

We really loved this place. Almost missed it because Yelp said it was closed on Sunday. Not so. The signature dish (Beef Bourguignon)was outstanding, and the service was attentive, but allowed us to take our own sweet time. Staff and management were very friendly and patient with two non French speaking Americans. It was a great place for people watching as well. read more

Very good food and excellent service. Really enjoyed the outdoor seating in a corner where you see all types of people walk by. The beef Bourguignon is their signature dish and served beautifully in an iron pot. It's very good. The onion soup was also good, if a bit low in salt. Overall, a very pleasant experience in a lovely neighborhood to stroll. The staff was nice, fast, and attentive. read more

Dinner for nine - wine, champaign, boeuf bourguignon, coeur de rumsteak, noisettes d'agneu roties, and the other dishes. This was the best meal of our vacation. We especially recommend the bouef bourguignon and lamb with green bans. Wonderful ambience with a pleasant and accommodating staff. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

NOTE TO STAFF: IF YOU ARE GOING TO PUT YOUR MOUTH ON THE WATER BOTTLE YOU ARE SERVING ME, PLEASE DO SO WHERE I CAN'T SEE YOU. I agree with the reviews that this restaurant takes its American tourist base for granted. Our family of 4 were staying in Le Marais and very much looking forward to an enjoyable local meal. We arrived at 7:30 on a Saturday in the middle of summer. Despite numerous open tables available we were put in the hot, breezeless corner. Service started out slow, which we did not mind until we started to notice all other tables getting served much earlier than we were. We should have taken this as a sign. The food quality was below average. The escargots were tasty, but the salad was mediocre and the beef was ridiculously small and overcooked. The one highlight was the beef bourgignon, which was very tasty despite being overly salted. Stick to this if you have to come here. Back to the service. The low point came when the waiter took our bottle for tap water and passed it to the young man working behind the counter. I don't think they realized the mirrors in the restaurant gave us a perfect view of them. Prompted by our waiter, the bartender put his mouth around the top of our water bottle, filled it with water, gave it back our waiter who then promptly delivered it to us. While Paris service can be tough, I think this lack of respect has to be near the bottom. There are other restaurants in Paris who appreciate your business. Don't bother with this one. read more

As a restaurant owner myself, I rarely put negative reviews on Yelp, because I know what it can do to your business, but I truly feel that I need to stop all American Tourists from eating here. It was the worst experience. We stopped in this place with our family of 5 on our first night in Paris and it set a negative tone for our entire trip. We understood the cramped table because the place was packed and we were happy to be accommodated. It was the service and the food that really ruined it for us. I was ordering from the price fixed menu and when I failed to tell the waiter up front that I was, he retorted "thanks for telling me" in an obnoxious tone. What followed was a haze of terrible food (chewy meat, yuck) and just complete disrespect. WHEN WE ASKED FOR BREAD OUR WAITER ACTUALLY TOLD US TO SHARE WITH THE TABLE NEXT TO US!!!! All told, the meal was over $200.00 US. The most expensive we had in Paris and the WORST. read more

If I lived in Paris, I would move right on this street just to eat here a few times a week! OR at least smell the gorgeous food being prepared~ Loved this restaurant. We walked in off the street with no reservations, and were greeted quick and was told to wait for indoor seating it would be a 15 min wait.. so we agreed to wait. They, impromptu like, set us up on the side of the bar with two seats, their bread and we ordered a bottle of wine. It was amazing. Watching the waitstaff working together, the kitchen buzzing and the patrons having fun and enjoying themselves; was a treat to see. The food was delicious! My husband got the beef bourgignon and I the steak with fries (I am a fry fanatic!). Everything was cooked to perfection. My husband's dish was so delicious I think I ate half by myself!~ and there was plenty to go around. the presentation was rustic in a cast iron vessel. And, the potatoes in the dish were perfection too. My dish was spectacular, cooked perfectly and seasoned just the way i like it! The atmosphere was fun. Wine selection was vast. The waitstaff had a great English vocabulary. Service was spot on. Made the start to our trip to Paris special. I highly recommend checking out this place. read more

Simply, outstanding. Their signature dish, the Beef Bourguignon is the stuff dreams are made of... tender, rich with a hint of Burgundy wine. The service is friendly, polite and attentive. The entree is enough for two even though I was dining alone. I didn't dare ask but, I wish they would offer that American staple: "The Doggie Bag" for leftovers. The huge chunk of beef I had to leave behind would have made a great sandwich snack later in the day. read more

After two recommendations from the hotel staff (ignored screaming red flag), I thought I'd give this place a shot on my first night in Paris. Long story short, as a tourist, don't go if you're truly trying to experience a real Parisian restaurant. You'll find yourself sitting among all the other tourists raving about the "French" food. BTW: I also picked out two hairs in my gamba's and notified the server. He couldn't care less. read more

Definitely a good choice for French food in the Marais area. Wait staff was American friendly and willing to assist with the menu if needed. I had a ham pate as an appetizer - excellent! The ham itself was very flavorful. And for dinner I had their sea bass. Again, nice presentation, not overcooked, and truly delicious. As Paris goes, the prices were not too bad either. Decor in the restaurant itself is very nice as well. All in all a good choice and I would definitely go back again. read more

Very disappointing. Wish I had paid more attention to the negative reviews. We went there for beef stew and snails. The snails were tasty but quite pricey for just six snails. The beef stew was watery, lacking flavors and the beef was stringy. Just sad. Others at the table got the sea brass (the should-be crispy skin was limp), so-so beef tartare and a decent chicken. Desserts were a little better. The ice creams from Berthillon were quite good. Creme brûlée was acceptable but the sugar was burnt. The lava cake with custard was good. We ordered coffee that never came. We decided to call it a night. It was a lot of money for very little experience. I don't mind having a lot of tourists as long as the foods are good. But they weren't. Don't recommend. read more

Outstanding meal of Beef & fries, and Beef Bourguignon. Best EVER! Service was both knowledgeable and helpful with translation, and wine selection. Snails! Yum! Lemon Tart. Yum! read more

Great and diverse menu, and a staff that welcomed and accommodated our minimal abilities avec notre français! And yes, the bourguignon is amazing - my baker-chef husband loved every drop! read more

Had a delicious beef bourguignon, ideal for s cool day , mushrooms where perfectly cooked and the potatoes,they buy their baguettes from the boulongery across the street which seems to have won an award recently for having the best baguettes recently, worthy to try read more

If you like Beef Bourguignon, this is a must. Great, quaint, great service, laid back. Bistro feel. In 7 nights in Paris this was our favorite-and we travel extensively. Great French onion soup as well. Family enjoyed all of their orders. read more

Was a lovely experience for me and a business colleague. Friendly service, wonderful food & atmosphere. Traditional French menu. Poached eggs were delicious. Would definitely come back again. read more

Delightful corner restaurant with professional, attentive wait staff and great food! We requested an inside table to avoid the outdoor cigarette smokers. Our waiter suggested we try the house specialty, Beouf Bourguignon and two of us did so. One of our party decided to try the Andouilette (sausage of pork intestines and herbs), which the waiter said every Frenchman liked except him. Both dishes were excellent. The Beouf Bourguignon was served in hot, individual little pots which on a cool evening really warmed us up. Definitely a place to look up in the Marais district! read more

We ate there since I was looking to have beef bourguignon while in France. We were not disappointed! The atmosphere was wonderful, the service was attentive without being smothering, and the food was outstanding. Reservations recommended, but we were able to get in without because we were a bit early for the dinner crowd (about 7:30ish) read more

A lot of fun! This restaurant is tucked behind the Rue de Rivoli in a wonderful little 4th arrondissement maze of streets. It offers traditional French bistro fare with a few new things ("cheeseburger" with rich Epoisse). Waiters are a hoot, the music is fun, the ambience warm and informal. Definitely recommend. read more

This is my fourth trip to Paris and I have consistently been disappointed...until now! This far and away was the best French meal I've had in France. My wife had the sea bass and loved it. I had the Beef Bourgenoin and it was perfect. I'd also note we are a big group (2 adults, 3 kids) and one of our children has special needs. The restaurant was very accommodating of his dietary needs and patient with the children as a whole. It was well worth the experience! read more

This place was great! My favorite place I ate during my stay in Paris. I had the best mojito and an amazing beef bourguignon with a red wine for dinner. My mom and boyfriend both ordered the lamb and loved it. The waiters were very friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would definitely come back! read more

My husband and I have been in France for a week and this was our favorite meal. This restaurant is inviting and has authentic French cuisine. The staff is friendly and have a sense of humor. It is a very comfortable place to dine! read more

So delicious! The wine, bread, service and oh my goodness the beef bourguignon we ate here on our last night in Paris for this trip two nights ago and I'm still thinking about it. The dish is prepared to perfection and the staff are so lovely as well! read more

We arrived at the restaurant after searching for a table for six. The maitre'd seated us outside as their interior was already reserved. Started with salmon fume salad with avocado and roasted pepper. Very good - light, flavorful. Beef filet (mignon) was cooked medium rare and served with a poivre sauce and potato gratin. Good filet, though tasted gamey, which may just be a cultural difference in how the sauce and preparation is done. Potato portion was skimpy. Shrimp entree with salad had no starch - just 5-6 shrimp and mixed greens. Beef bourguignon was a good portion and flavorful. Probably the best plat at our table. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Good food, though small portions with inconsistent accompaniments. read more

Are you guys kidding me with the pictures? The pix on some of the reviews do this place zero justice. The beef stew is some of the best I have ever had. The meat was juicy and tender, not dry at all. The sauce and trimmings did not get left behind either, only an empty bowl went back. What a great dish, just order that and you'll leave happy. Will go back again. read more

Looked forward to our return to Au Bourguignon du Marais....a favorite while we lived in Paris some 7 years ago. The service was very good.....the location, sitting outside on this cool summer night, quite nice. Unfortunately, while quite tasty, our plats, with the exception of the frites, was not served warm enough. The wine, a 36 Euro bottle, was privately labeled for the restaurant and seemed overpriced. All, in all, 100 euro for 2 mains, a bottle of wine, one dessert and 2 coffees. A nice night but hardly value priced. read more

We made reservations for 7:30 for a Friday night and probably didn't need them. The restaurant was about half full and was taking walk-ins the whole time we were there till 9:45. Overall, the food was very good and the service was great. The waiter immediately assisted us with the menu politely after inquiring from our American accent. I got the traditional Beef bourguignon, my wife the free range chicken, and my daughter the steak. I thought my Beef bourguignon was so-so, but my wife loved it. She was able to cut a piece with her folk, so it was very tender as expected. I thought the potato gratin that came with my daughter's steak was the bomb. I ate all of it. My wife's chicken was very good; moist and well seasoned. The dinner with drinks and dessert came to about 165 euros for the three of us which isn't too bad. Dress code ranges from neat to casual. Would recommend! read more

If you want to sit in a restaurant full of 50-something American tourists and eat slightly pricey and slightly underwhelming food, then choose this restaurant. To be fair, the service was friendly and the food was generally tasty, but it was not nearly as impressive as some other small eateries in the surrounding neighborhoods. Beef tartare was fresh and good. Beef bourguignon was a bit too salty for our tastes. Wine was good but overpriced. We didn't stay for dessert. Overall, not a highlight of the trip, but not a disaster either. read more

Good wait staff and decent food. I would dine there again.

We have visited here twice now and will go again if time permits. I had the beef burgundy and my wife the lamb. A bottle of wine, excellent food and a charming and language friendly waiter, Thomas, made for a perfect evening meal. About 92 euros I think. Our waiter from our previous visit came by just to say he remembered us and to wish us well. The view from the outside seating area is dynamic with interesting and attractive passersby. There are many wonderful choices in Paris as we all know. In the Marais, this is definitely one of them. To fellow travelers from the USA, please speak the French you do know and rely on the gentle humor and guidance from the great wait staff here to get you the rest of the way. read more

Amazing beef stew!!! And amazing desserts!! One of the best meals so far in Paris! Chocolate mousse was great and so were the profiteroles! Staff was great too and very helpful with the menu! read more

My experience here has been this restaurant serves excellent traditional Bourguignon food. Have eaten here three different trips to Paris and this remains one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Prices are a little high but they match the quality of the food and service. good wine selection and prices. The escargot, onion soups, beef Bourguignon, and the chicken main are our favorite menu items. There are other tourists as this restaurant is widely recommended but you will find locals dining here as well. I have not experienced the issues indicated by the negative reviewers, always positive experiences. read more

Not the greatest-sort of pricey for the quality of the food. Ordered the steak au poivre which cost over 30 euros and got a low quality steak. For that price it should have been tender and flavorful. Also, the baba au rhum was okay but the quality of the rum was like rubbing alcohol. On the plus side, the avocado and craw-fish tartar appetizer was quite good, as was the Chicken Supreme De Volaille. And the wine we ordered was very good. read more

We went to the restaurant after reading all the positive reviews. Definitely overrated. The bourgignon was mediocre, and my husband ordered the andouille sausage which was in edible. No English menus available. All for 110 euros - seemed a bit pricey. The two stars are for the wine, the cote de rhone was good. All the other folks in the restaurant were American tourists- don't go! read more

Nothing special but decent food nicely presented & tasty. Pleasant service

Street café near the Hotel DeVille with an outstanding selection of burgundies by the glass, and good food to boot ! Wines rate a 5, food rates a 3, overall an enjoyable, satisfying experience. (I went back a second time - - I enjoyed it.) Prices are moderately expensive, and the dress is casual. read more

I advise everyone to stay away from this restaurant. We are a family of six adults, two of whom speak French well (having lived in Paris for 6 months each) and two others of whom do so reasonably. We have been in Paris many times. This was perhaps the worst experience we have had. We arrived at 8 for our reservation. The hostess was rude about my use of one Italian word in place of a French one and about the number of coats we had (6 for 6 people!). Then we waited for 15 minutes for someone to offer us any sort of service and, when we asked, received a very snooty response. We left. We had a wonderful dinner at L'Ardoise (our second such mean here) near the Louvre. read more
