    This restaurant is in walking distance of Louvre Museum. Therefore, during dinner time, it can be really busy. This restaurant has both dine in and out door seating area. I recommend seating outdoor since you can see the people walking by and enjoy the nice weather. For food, I can say crepe was out of this world. It tasted really good. It was so flavorful and nothing like the other crepes I had. Pasta was good too, it was seasoned and very flavorful. I highly recommend ordering Café gourmand. The desserts tasted really good. Espresso smelled amazing and I really enjoyed my late afternoon espresso. This restaurant has Escargots too. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant, if you're in the area. They offer a variety of French Food, sea food, and mix of international food. During my visit Both service and food were five stars.

    French Onion Soup
    Erika S.

    I stopped here randomly on my last night in Paris. I had a nice solo seat in the corner and was able to enjoy my meal and people watch. I ordered the French onion soup as well as the baked chicken and a small carafe of wine (we definitely need this option in the US) The soup was exactly what I wanted very flavorful, nice and hot. Definitely recommend. The baked chicken I was worried would not be that tasty as I hadn't been impressed with my other options in Paris during my trip, but this did not disappoint. Very flavorful and delicious. I ended the evening with a crème brûlée, which was so good I had to stop my myself from finishing it all. if you are in the area, definitely give this place a try.

    Charcuterie

    After strolling the Tuileries Garden needed dinner. Nothing planned so popped open Yelp, and this Cafe caught my eye. A touch off the path, still within tourist area, but just right. Family was thrilled. Food was amazing onglet de bœuf standout. But even the penne with truffle, charcuterie, poke with tuna, and burger were all very good. Please don't skip deserts. Perfect Anglais here - no need to embarrass anyone with my French.

    Near The l'ouvre Museum. Has a charming, outdoor seating, but with pedestrian traffic, it actually was a mess. People were knocking into tables and it was hard to get the wait staff's attention. I had the lunch menu with duck and it's pretty much all you get. Cooked well but super bland. No seasoning no sauce and a dollop of mash. Oh, so boring for Paris. Basically, all it has going for it is location

    Salmon & Free Range Chicken with Mashed Potatoes
    Suzanne K.

    We loved our experience at Cafe de la Regence! It was a perfect location on a fabulous corner of cafes. The food here was one of the best meals we've had in Paris. We had the salmon and the Free Range Chicken. Both were delicious! We actually went back again for lunch another day to have the chicken again with the side of mashed potatoes. Highly recommended this Parisian Cafe!!

    Leg of Duck with mashed potatoes

    Great location and area,friendly service. We enjoyed the food, Escargot is tasty, chicken and duck properly seasoned and cooked. Overall great dining experience

    Salad

    This was also a lovely little quintessentially French patio restaurant. I speak a little French but the waiter, I think was messing with me, or trying to test my French by throwing long sentences at me, lol. I didn't mind - it allowed me to practice my French. The views from this spot are very pretty. It's nice hanging out on a patio and taking in the view. The veggie bowl I had was very fresh tasting and my friend's salad bowl was yum. I enjoyed this little restaurant a lot.

    Best eats for your buck and great STAFF

    The food was so authentic and flavorful. The staff was welcoming and very attentive. I came in with a party of 14 and they were very accommodating. The food service and clean feel of the restaurant makes me want to come back to the restaurant

    Very cute little French cafe. I had a delicious salmon pasta. My husband had tartare. The wine and people watching were my favorite part. Waiter was very helpful on choosing a good wine. Sit outside if you can get a seat! All part of the charm of Paris cafe.

    Poulet roti et frites. Glass of Sancerre. Delicious.

    Food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Traditional Parisienne menu and vibe.

    We visited the Lourve on a Sunday morning and then started looking for a place to have lunch that was not too touristy. It had been raining on and off all morning. Lucky to have located this great spot. Many people were sitting outside under the canopy and we decided to join them. We stayed dry through the on and off showers and enjoyed people watching. The menu has many delicious options. We ordered the tartare and salmon with vegetables. Delicious! The service was good and speaking very minimal French was not a barrier.

    Caesar salads, salmon plate and French onion soup
    Molly Z.

    This was the first cafe we went to in Paris and it was one of our favorites from our visit! They were the only cafe that offered true iced coffee, which as an American, was much appreciated! I enjoyed an iced coffee and French onion soup. Both were very good. The iced coffee was actually the highlight for me. It was delicious! The people in our group who got the Caesar salads really enjoyed them but the portion was huge! They probably could've split. Seating outside was full but the inside was chic and cozy. Would highly recommend this cafe if you're in Paris!

    Duck breast

    Enjoyed the duck breast very much. It was so juicy and tender. Duck breast is my new favorite.

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!

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

I ordered an entrée of mini mushroom raviolis in truffle sauce, a plat of scallops over orzo which had chorizo chunks and a dessert of frozen Grand Marnier soufflé. The portions were generous. I enjoyed the mini mushroom raviolis and delicious Grand Marnier soufflé. The plat was somewhat odd because the chorizo chunks were really strong flavored which overpowered the scallops. I ate one chorizo chunk and pushed the rest aside. The scallops were cooked perfectly but not seasoned. The service was gruff/quite brief with dishes dropped by assistants. My biggest complaint was the stressful ambiance during the meal. It was freezing outside. The door constantly opened and new patrons came in hovering over diners in my room. Luckily I was not closer to the door and didn't have anyone over me. For ~170 Euros, the food was good but the experience was not.
