    Pasta with lobster
    Ameya B.

    Our last meal in Paris before we headed back home could've been better. Sadly it wasn't meant to be. A star for their setup, and a star for their friendliness, but everything else was average. Food took over 35-mins to arrive, and it was very mediocre. The Angus steak listed under their "Exceptional meats" section was the worst steak one can ever have. No seasoning whatsoever and the béarnaise sauce was exceptionally forgettable. The pasta with lobster was throughly enjoyed, but the kiddie pasta lacked butter. The setup however was pretty good, away from all the touristy traffic (which is what actually got us here). Food can definitely be better.

    Great memories were made here

    Amazing! Was suggested this place while on our trip to Paris and I think the service made this place what it is today! We visited end of September during Fashion Week and they treated us as if we were the celebrities in the area. It's just minutes walk away from the Eiffel Tower and just close enough to experience the city and walk towards a great dinner I tried the traditional French onion soup, the escargot and the Lamb dish and it was....for lack of words....chefs kiss! The ambiance was great and we ended up coming back for lunch before leaving the city. Highly recommended

    Ana maxing place we stumbled upon. Beef Bourgogne was so delightful. My wife had scallops with a cream sauce. Duck foie grad was rich served with toast and fig jam! So so good... amazing wine selection

    The staff is friendly and the location is ideal (5 min from the Eiffel Tower). When you're that close, you come to expect poor service and mid food. The service was adequate and the food was relatively good (not insanely good, but not insanely priced, either). We did ask for salt, but it was a very enjoyable time in a really beautiful outside seating area and we would go back.

    As an American in Paris I had to have at least one cheese burger and friends, chocolate cake and cheese. Let's start with the burrata. The tomato confit with the creamy cheese was perfect. The cheeseburger was interesting. It needed alittle more salt. The cheese didn't add anything. The fries were a mix of crunchy and soggy but they hit the spot after drinking a lot of wine. The chocolate cake...was just ok. The service was great. I enjoy europe..no one bothers you a million times. The only part I didn't enjoy was sitting next to a guy who was smoking. Sometimes I wish there was a way to divide that when you are sitting outside but I get it. I would return!

    Nasty Caesar Salad

    Food tasted like absolute ass cheeks, my Caesar salads dressing tasted like it was watered down ranch and cat piss. Also my soufflé had about 75 soggy carrots. DO NOT COME HERE! DO NOT COME HERE! DO NOT COME HERE! DO NOT COME HERE!

    We stumbled across this restaurant after watching the light show at the Eiffel Tower and it was one of the few places that were open Christmas Day so we chose to eat here on our first day in Paris. They had a fixed menu at 55 euros pp which included an app, main and dessert. The place is cozy with tables near one another and overall the service was nice. The food however was pretty mediocre. We started with complimentary bread and started with a truffle dip and scallops for apps. These were both pretty good and our favorites of the night. For entrees we got baked salmon with veggies and chicken casserole. Both were just ok and the chicken casserole came with a mushroom cream sauce that was pretty plain. For dessert we got fruit (really a fruit salad that wasn't very fresh) and chocolate cake. This spot is in a great area but I would say for food it's more of a tourist trap. If you have the time, it's best to eat elsewhere.

    I had a very nice meal here today. Staffs are nice and friendly, food are delicious prepared. I really think this place deserve at least 4 stars not just 3.5.

    Dark chocolate mousse with caramel and pecan topping

    Fabulous first night in Paris experience! Dato, our waiter, made our experience! Be sure to ask for him! We had soup, salmon and had to try the chocolate mousse! Vraiment perfect!

    The little square where the restaurant is located is chsrming and its all decoration is very pleasant and quaint. Unfortunately, some of the tables are right across from the huge trash cans and with the wind their odor is in the air. The food is mediocre. The stairway which leads to the bathroom is very steep and could be dangerous. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken and empty. La placette sur laquelle le restaurant est placée à beaucoup de charme malheureusement quelques unes des tables sont placées à proximité d' énormes poubelles ce qui occasionne des relents désagréables. Les plats que nous avons commandés étaient médiocres. L escalier qui mène aux toilettes est dangereux et raide. Il n y avait pas de savon non plus.

    If you would like to experience the real Parisian night, full of lights and romantic music in a cozy little Bistro.. Come here!!! Food was excellent, servers are very nice. Tip them at the beginning and you will be treated like a prince. (I recommend you to do this anywhere in Paris) Excellent Champagne (but it should be colder) and great atmosphere. We were here in December and even being below zero outside, they have the heaters and is marvelous to spend time out feeling a little cold. P.S: Be careful the bathroom stairs are steep and you need to be very careful.

    Great lunch.

    Le Comptoir de la Gastronomie - An amazing French onion soup...

    The most life- changing experience with French cuisine. This is what French culinary dreams are…read moremade of. Get the appetizer grilled foie gras with side of greens, you won't regret it. The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

    This place was a huge letdown. They had a cute little artisanal market on the front left of the…read morerestaurant. They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.
