The hot chocolate was rich and I loved the surplus of whipped cream. Honestly, even though the menu says the portion is for one person, the amount they give is enough for two people. The salad that came with our entrees had the perfect amount of dressing distributed through the salad. Overall, this was a great dining experience.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more+ Notre Dame Granny Smith Apple Confit - Was refreshing! I couldn't tell if this was a real apple or some fancy French creation made to look like one - that's how real it looked! The mousse and apple bits were cold & delicious and the chocolate shell was good, but not sure if it was worth the price at €7.5. + Pain Au Chocolat Cookie - Verrrry good chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant mashup. Only thing that we were missing was some good ol' milk! + Almond Croissant - Once again, delicious! Solid croissant and definitely a good grab and go candidate. = Citronnade - Was just OK. Lemonade that was on the watered down side, but was somewhat refreshing because I was dying of thirst. THE SERVICE ----------------------- - Employee who helped us with our order was friendly, but the cashier was a bit blah and not exactly the friendliest person, especially when we asked for extra utensils and napkins.

The escargot on the other hand, was so fantastic. They were served all cute in their little shells on a tray, and bubbling when we first got them. The green sauce that they came with was fantastic, and the butter was also a great addition! This made for such a flavorful little bite - escargots taste like little chewy clams to me, nothing strange at all. It also came with a few pieces of baguette to soak up the yummy sauce. Service was friendly and the inside of the restaurant has such a nice vibe. I would definitely recommend this spot!

They don't have too many vegetarian options. I ordered the Montagnarde with no bacon in it. The galette itself was super crispy. It had way too much cheese in it for my liking.

Café de charlots ! S'il est un piège à éviter c'est bien ce lieu d'apparence charmante, qui se veut le nouveau lieu branché du Haut Marais... Inutile de tourner autour du pot : c'est une vraie déception ! Les plats tendance (italo/new-yorkais) sont cuisinés à partir de produits de grande surface (la palme revient au poulet en tranche industriel que l'on retrouve dans la salade césar et le club sandwich !!!), les vins sont chers et pas bons, les serveurs charmants mais incompétents... Le clou du spectacle nous est réservé lors de l'addition où les prix sont plus élevés que sur la carte !!! Explication : il s'agit d'une majoration après 21h... Celle-ci n'est indiquée nul part sur la carte (ni ailleurs) et appliquée de façon aléatoire (0.5€ sur une coupe de champagne mais pas sur un américano ni sur le vin, 1€ sur le club sandwich mais pas sur le cheese burger, etc.). Mon conseil : à éviter sauf pour y prendre un verre... read more

Je suis allée déjeuner hier dans ce resto avec une amie. Le service était très mauvais. Nous avons commandé deux verres de vin. Le serveur a oublié l'un des verres. Nous avons du le lui redemander deux fois. Allergique à la tomate, j'ai précisé au serveur que je souhaitais mon cheese burger sans tomate. il m'a apporté un cheese burger avec 3 rondelles... après le lui redit, il est reparti avec le plat et revenu quelques minute plus tard avec le même burger dont il avait simplement enlever la majeur partie des tomates mais il est resté encore ! Mon amie a commandé une glace en dessert et y a trouvé des morceaux de persil. En conclusion, nous avons passé un très mauvais déjeuner et nous n'y retournerons pas. read more

We ended up coming here for my dad's birthday after a long day at Versailles and the Matthieu our server was so hospitable and nice. He also spoke English very well so I asked where he learned to speak English and turns out he lived in Florida and Hawaii for many years before returning to Paris. The bar area was upbeat and lively. The steak frites was not necessarily the best quality steak I've had, but for the price was pretty flavorful and delicious. Overall it was a really great experience at this cafe and it was really cute to see the entire bar sing happy birthday to my dad.

Escargot: This type of snail is a different type than I thought; I suppose it's the authentic version in France. It was cooked in a garlic butter sauce so it was super simple. Was there anything wowing about it? Not particularly. It was good but nothing screamed on either the super good nor bad spectrum. The gizmo they used to handle the snail was more interesting. Foi gras: It was such a chunky portion. It was thick and pretty hard to spread. And as such, the thing that could have made it better was if it was at room temperature. It was just a tad too cold and wouldn't spread too well on the toast. It was also really hard to really enjoy its full flavors. Also, the toast was more like it was on its way to being a crouton. The side of sauteed onions was also a very interesting accompaniment. French onion soup gratinated: This was the most flavorful thing in the world. We learned later that with the words "gratinated," it makes it a more authentic version with the cheese and bread atop of the soup versus just having onion soup. The Cantal cheese and how it crisped and infused with the bread was amazing. And the broth was also stupid crazy with flavor. The hubs was just wowed away when he sampled this. Beef tartare: There was a generous portion of the beef tartare. It was fresh in a way. It sort of looked like a pile of raw beef which technically it was. I enjoyed it, but the hubs really enjoyed this pick. The French fries and salad were so so sides. An interesting thing to serve alongside beer tartare IMO. I guess it's the French way!
