Ambiance: cafe style with friendly, happy staff members who hustle to make sure the service is top notch. I feel joyful eating the onion soup. The spritz beverages are delicious on a hot summer day. An atmosphere of comfort. A place for our vacay to enjoy food a beverages. Sid is a brilliant bartender. Fatima is a kind, funny, helpful and accurate on menu orders. We are very impressed with Fatima! We are HAPPY!!! We are looking forward to returning each year when we come to Palais Royale in Paris, which is near the Louvre. read more

About half of the clientele were foreign tourists which is not always a good sign. But fear not the food was quite good. I had steak frites and it was not fatty. Cooked rare it tasted great as the French use grass fed beef for their beef. The fries greasy but not too much. The staff spoke great English. Would go back. read more

This was a very nice find after a morning at the louvre. The owner was very welcoming and found us a very nice table by the window. Excellent waiter who could converse in both French and English and helped review the specials of the day- lots of nice ones and not just the standard Parisian fare. I ordered the quiche pourer and my wife the salade bergere. We loved both of them and with a lovely Chardonnay and a nice draught it made for a great lunch. Two cafe creme and we really enjoyed lingering a bit longer. This was a nice spot read more

I found this place on Yelp and from the time we walked in they were as nice as they could be. Tim was our server and spoke excellent English. My wife and Dad ordered the Hamburger and both said it was delicious. My Dad actually said it was the best burger he had ever had. I had the French Onion Soup and Beef Bourguignon. The soup was the best French onion soup I have ever had. The bread was not mushy and the flavor was amazing. If you get the chance don't miss this place and ask for Tom. You will not regret it. read more

This was the last night of our October 2024 trip to Paris and we were hoping for one last amazing dinner. We rolled the dice on this place, and were not disappointed. We were greeted warmly at the door and brought over to an excellent nook, great for seeing the street and the interior. Of course I had their French onion soup, which was delicious. We each had a steak, and I opted for the XL Ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. The accompanying frites and au poivre sauce were perfect. We ended up with a dessert order of profiteroles, a French indulgence we hadn't tried yet. It ended up being one of the most decadent and satisfying things we ate all week! I highly recommend this place if you are close to the Louvre, it is just slightly off the beaten path, which is where you will find the best places. read more

I had high expectations for this restaurant, but the visit turned out to be extremely disappointing. The staff lacked professionalism and seemed confused most of the time. Food arrived late, cold, and poorly presented. The taste was average at best, with some dishes completely lacking flavor. Tables were not cleaned properly, and the dining area looked messy. Customer service was almost nonexistent, and nobody checked on us during the meal. Given the expensive pricing, I expected far better quality and hospitality. Sadly, this place failed badly, and I would not choose to dine here again. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Thankfully they were able to seat us without a reservation. They were able to provide an allergen menu for one of our guests who has celiac! Lunch was delicious and the spot was cute! read more

My friend and I stopped by for lunch on Friday afternoon at 1 pm and the restaurant was about half full. I had a reservation, but don't think I needed it. To start, my friend got a beer and I got a glass of one of their white wines. Both were good. In addition to the regular menu offerings, they also offer some daily menu items. I went with the frog leg appetizer ($19.90) off the daily menu and the duck confit ($21.90) from the regular menu for my entree. The frog legs were cooked with parsley and butter. I haven't had them in a long time, but I liked the ones here after adding some salt. For the duck confit, it was okay as well, but I did find it a bit on the dry side. My friend got the chicken breast with ratatouille ($20.90) and really liked it. I tried a bite of both and agree that the chicken and ratatouille were incredibly flavorful. I chose to come to this restaurant because it came up in my research for a good ratatouille spot, and I'm glad it didn't disappoint on that regard! read more

I was in search of a good Beef Bourguignon and snails. I pretty much nailed it. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and on-point. I sat outside. The snail flavors were outstanding. They handled my food allergies like champs, and I felt very safe. I was even able to eat the bread. Again, I drank another real-sugar Coca Cola. So delish. I would definitely return here when I return to Paris. read more

Food was amazing. There were some American men talking about some odd summer flings they had. I must have heard them incorrectly because it was...... just...... utterly wrong. The bread was good. Wine was great. Our server was excellent. I'm sorry I just..... Why would those American men say that in public? read more

Service, food and ambiance are exceptional and authenticly French. A wonderful place that I plan to visit every time that I am in Paris.

Went here after a day at the Louv. Sat on the patio had a beautiful meal. Was a drizzling night. The service was fabulous. Would definitely recommend. I had the beef Borgognone. read more

Our first night in Paris and this place left me speechless. I had the Beef Bourguignon and it was so delicious, top tier flavors & the beef just melts right off. The potatoes and carrots cooked to perfection. We also ordered the chicken plate also very good, packed with so much flavor & we ordered the Ribeye steak with fries also very good. Great service as soon as we walked in and the ambiance is really nice. I think we might return before our trip is over. read more

Great little spot near the opera. We loved stumbling upon this little bistro on our recent trip to Paris. The service was wonderful and the food came out quickly. Our favorite thing here was the French onion soup! read more

After first trying to get into a place down the street with a line out the door and down the sidewalk it was time to find a new place. Spooted this other well reviewed place on Google maps and walked down the street. Not disappointed in our decision. The service and the food were both very good and on a Sunday morning with all the tourists about there was plenty of room for us. Maybe it's a hidden gem that won't be so hidden after a few more good reviews. read more

We came here for our first night in Paris. It was a short, walking distance from our hotel, hotel du louvre. Our concierge at the hotel recommended it. We went in there ordering the snails and intended to order duck or chicken, but quickly saw so many people ordering the burger and fries so decided to do snails and the burger. The waiter's name was Marc and did a great job recommending wine for us. He was very patient. The ambience was great. We were able to sit by the window as we requested. It definitely had a vibe that the locals eat there often we ended up sharing the burger and snails and was perfect. Sad that we don't live in Paris so we could try this place again, but hope to be back someday. read more

RACIST and unrespectful. I ordered a 3 course diner + wine + coffee that costed 65 euro. Note this is not a cheap expense. While I have a show to watch next street at 8pm where's 15 mins walk distant, and I finished the dinner around 6:40 ish. So I planed your stay a bit till 7:30 before the show start. Cos it's cold outside and I don't have anywhere to go anyways. So I opened the laptop to reply on some emails. BTW there's another lady siting beside me worked for hours here ordered just coffee and not get kick out. But the waiter later told me that the restaurant is full reservation and I should leave in 10 mins. However the restaurant is still having quite a lot seats !!! I don't see why this is only to me . Maybe because I'm Asian ? This is doubtably RACIST!! BTW the food is way too SALTY !! Won't recommend this . read more

Bistro Richelieu was our first breakfast stop in Paris and while we definitely enjoyed the breakfast, what we really enjoyed was the super friendly associate that waited on us. He was kind and gave us recommendations for our time in Paris and made us feel welcome. Regarding the food, we both got the La New Yorkaise, which came with a hot beverage, fresh orange juice, baguette with butter and jam, croissant, and eggs. The croissants were SO soft and yummy. The eggs were "fluffy," which is different from what we're used to, but they were also good. We wanted to return another time during the trip, but unfortunately didn't have time. Merci beaucoup for a great first morning in Paris! read more

We were lucky to snag a late reservation for 5 American tourists at the Richelieu on our first evening in Paris. There was something on the menu for everyone, including duck and escargot. Memorable dinner, highly recommended! Easy walk from the Louvre and our hotel. read more

Had a great meal here and would definitely recommend! The waiters were so helpful and nice. We started with the egg appetizer, which were SO good. I got the beef bourguignon and it was incredible. The beef was so tender and perfectly cooked and the broth I could eat for days. My husband got the steak tartare which was great. Also wonderful wine selection! read more

Really glad we went here. We were hesitant because of some of the reviews but ignore them because it's delicious. One of our favorite meals! Everything was super amazing except for the dessert. The foie was mouth watering. The cheeses were a great assortment. My duck was my favorite dish of the trip. The pomme puree was so smooth and delicate. The potatoes dauphinois were truly amazing and I cannot replicate them at home! Amazing meal with French classics that will satisfy your palate. The rice pudding I think was lacking sugar but that was the only criticism I have for this meal. read more

Honestly, we were a bit disappointed based on the excellent online reviews. It wasn't great, it wasn't bad. Cute place and stylishly decorated. Tables were comfortable. Food was expensive but average and small plates. Service was attentive at times and very aloof at other times. Left the table a little hungry after dropping 200 bucks. Probably would try again but not for a special occasion. read more

While meandering down the streets of Paris I came upon a quiet bistro with a sidewalk cafe and had a seat. The servers were friendly and spoke lovely English once I greeted them in French. I ordered the onion soup au gratin and the beef bourguignon with a half bottle of rose. When I tell you that this was the BEST meal I had in Paris, I am not exaggerating. The onion soup was deep and rich and stuck to my bones (it was a chilly April afternoon). Best onion soup I've ever had. My guess would be that it's all freshly made, right down to the stock. The beef bourguignon was delightful and served on mashed potatoes which gave me the feeling of eating a home made beef bourguignon in my Grandma's kitchen. I didn't get dessert because I was so full! LOL Trust me... add this to your list of musts in Paris. read more

Had my first traditional French meal here during my first night in Paris and I'm really glad I did! Service was great because they were super accommodating to us not knowing French (they spoke English and had menus in English). This place is situated on a quieter street, so not as easy to find but I like it a lot for the indoor seating as it's not too hectic pedestrian-wise. Had the escargot, homemade onion soup (the best I've ever had), lamb chops, and duck confit (quite dry and salty, as it's meant to be) and I was very happy with every dish, couldn't have had a tastier meal - highly recommend - especially the onion soup! read more

The pictures to this place looked so promising for French food. I was not completely satisfied. I came during lunch and I ordered from the lunch set. Option 1)is appetizer with an entree 2)entree with dessert or 3) appetizer, entree, and dessert. I ordered an appetizer and an entree. For the appetizer I had pea soup. It was okay. More on the water downed end though. For the entree I had beef with pasta. The pasta was elbow macaroni and the beef was really tasty and flavorful. However, this is what turned me off from the fish, it was very heavy! Heavy from oil. It was turning me off the dish. I really enjoyed the place and the service, but the food was my least favorite from my most recent visit in Paris. read more

Our party of three enjoyed the sea bass, boeuf bourguignon and duck breast. All dishes were great. The beef was tender, full of strong flavor yet not overpowering. The duck breast was sliced into small pieces and artfully arranged. The duck came with a celery mousse which I think also had turnip or parsnip added. That celery mousse was new to but I will be seeking out the recipe; can't recommend it enough. For dessert we enjoyed a chocolate/nut mousse, and a strawberry glacé . I am partial to chocolate and this did not disappoint. Service was prompt , polite and knowledgeable. The food was delivered in a reasonable time. The restaurant has outdoor seating along the road and indoor. Indoors was not too noisy but not quiet . While each seat was taken at this fine establishment, I did not see a wait. Prices were very reasonable for the location and considering the quality of food, a bargain. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Service was excellent. Waiter maneuvered language difference very well. Food was wonderful. Hubby had beef stake cooked perfectly at medium rare. My beef bourgenion was excellent, tender and juicy. Started with oysters that did not disappoint. Waiter picked a great wine for me. Atmosphere was upbeat and restful. Highly recommend. Would go again read more

Great food, especially the frites!!! Best Frites in Paris. Restaurant was very small and staff were not friendly to Americans or non-French speaking individuals. This group of Chinese girls, also tourists, came into the restaurant after I did, but got their order before because they spoke French. Otherwise the Escargot was good, tasted like butter & pesto. They bring out plenty of tap water to drink. The frites along with my rib eye steak was very good. read more
