Bad food and even worse service... GO ELSEWHERE…read more 1. We were served stale, flavorless bread in France. Need I say more? 2. The server in the gray, plaid pants (photo below) behaved absolutely atrociously towards my husband and I. One of the other servers offered to move us to a table closer to the stage. Once again, it was OFFERED to us. We didn't request it. Grey Pants walked over to us and began screaming/berating us like we were breaking the law because he needed the table for another couple. Needless to say, we didn't fly across the Atlantic and pay for overpriced bad bread to be disrespected by an emotionally unstable loser in cheap pants who clearly isn't aware that he works in the service industry. Despite his behavior, we graciously moved back to our original places. 3. I then proceeded to watch Gray Pants behave rudely towards several other customers. He was snarky towards a group of young men who asked for water. He snatched away a woman's drink before she was done drinking it and she had to call him back. 4. I later needed to squeeze past him to get to another part of the club... I said "excusez" in a normal volume/tone of voice. Gray Pants had the nerve to whip around and tell me to "calm down" and tried complaining about the way I spoke to him for simply excusing myself as I walked by. This was exceptionally ironic considering the spectacle he caused over our table earlier. @Duc des Lombards management: Please fire this feral rat in tacky clothing before he drives away all of your customers. He is the stereotype of the "French rude server" on steroids.

I also enjoyed their skillfully made cocktails very much. They serve charcuterie and cheeses, smoked salmon, olives and other small aperitifs and hors-d'œuvres, but we ate before going.

The restaurant was empty and there were 2 employees outside, a man (Chef) and woman smoking cigarettes. The man asked if we had reservations and we didn't. The man advised they were full and didn't have anything available for that evening. No worries, we went to another restaurant "Le Zinc d'Honoré" and had a fabulous meal. On our way back at 8:30pm, I stopped back in to see if they had a reservation for the next evening. The interior of the restaurant was TOTALLY "empty" no one seated inside. I approached a lady employee behind the bar and asked "Parles-tu Anglais?" She said, "Yes" and I asked if they had any availability for tomorrow evening. She opened up the book..... it was blank with NO reservations and she said, "Yes". I told her 7:30 PM and at that point the man that I spoke with earlier in the evening hurried from the kitchen to the front behind the bar and told us both, "There are no reservations available tomorrow", and he promptly went back to the kitchen. She had a questioned look on her face as he left and turned to me and said she was sorry. I told her it was ok. It was obvious we weren't welcome there. If you are American, or a mixed race couple do yourself a favor and don't go to this restaurant. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME at Au Bistro.

Even the bathrooms are gorgeous. And of course there is the lure of Hemimgway who frequented here and spent his time writing many of his works. We sat in the dining area right outside of the bar and enjoying seeing people come and go. And even though Hemingway and many famous others frequented this establisjment, it does not seem at all touristy. We heard mostly French being spoken. We started off with some foie gras and we of course had to try the filet "Hemingway" a dish Hemingway would eat. It's on the expensive side, but it was very tasty! We enjoyed the food, drinks, the service, and the whole experience!

We came in around 9 PM, looking for drinks and dinner, but we're told they only have small plates. We decided to stay because the atmosphere was so cool, and every single small plate was INCREDIBLE!

The food was not as incredible as i wish it had been. There was a strong prevalence of salty and umami flavors throughout the savory dishes, rather unbalanced by other flavors, and a bit repetitive. Though some courses were innovative and none were bad, it didn't quite live up to the level of the service and setting. The desserts we had were actually bad, overthought and not delicious, all complexity and cleverness and not enough that worked. The following night at a much simpler restaurant we had much simpler desserts that were sublimely delicious. Stop overthinking it, L'oiseau Blanc, food should taste good, and with 2 Michelin stars, it should be extraordinarily delicious not just interesting conceptually.

The reviews on Yelp are quite harsh, and if you are deciding whether or not to make this restaurant part of your itinerary, please do! Dining at L'Oiseau Blanc was the absolute highlight of my week-long trip to Paris and easily the most impressive culinary experience of them all. The breathtaking rooftop view of the Eiffel Tower set the stage for an afternoon of pure magic. Every course was a revelation--exquisitely crafted dishes that perfectly balanced creativity, flavor, and artistry. The service is impeccable, Tristan and Anais who were warm, professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making every moment special for their guests. The aviation-inspired decor and elegant ambiance added a distinctive charm that made the evening feel truly special. The stand outs were their creamy truffle forward salsify sauce, smoked scallops, freshly baked French sourdough bread with bright orange butter sourced from a farm in the United Kingdom! Of all the meals I enjoyed in Paris, L'Oiseau Blanc stands out as the one I'll be dreaming about long after the trip has ended.

Woot woot for Karim! Karim lead us down an alley way to a local bar and texted the other yelpers that we are there and that's how I wounded up at the Brklyn Bar, we grabbed a table and waited for the others to join and then we got to meet the lovely Roxanne, Lucas & Florian! It was a great time Karim told us Brklyn was an American bar within Paris, everyone was very friendly, and apparently it was learn an international language that night, the language of choice was German, so it was fun listening to everyone's conversations. After a quick look at the menu I went with a glass of Prosecco and for 5 € I thought that was a bargain, had myself a glass or 2 for sure. Loved the feel of the place, rustic and modern, wood and metal yet every comfortable vibe, also enjoyed checking out the art work on the walls. If you ever wonder about Paris, you should stop by Brklyn do some people watching & get a drink or two.
