I started off with an Expresso Martini which was very good and yes this is how it is spelled here and I like that because that is how I always pronounce it. With our drinks our waiter even brought us out fresh olives. Now I'm not the biggest fan but Ashley very much enjoyed it. There was a lot on the menu that I was interested in and they had a number of different cuts of beef but I had to go with the Whole Duck Breast which is also a French classic which I got cooked medium rare but I'm perfect sure that's how they suggest it which is the right way like they do with all their beef too. Ashley and I also split the French Onion Soup. I will say by Duck was very good. Tasty rich sauce with crispy duck skin cooked perfectly. Some of the best duck I have had in awhile. I will say the French Onion Soup though was a little bland. I just didn't have that rich beef broth I am used too. Beside that everything was very good and would for sure recommend going to Café Blanc for a nice menu which amazing French options.

We dined outside and enjoyed watching the people go by. We were sorry that we didn't get another chance to return there.

Custard was light and sweet. The sugar on top was not too thick, just the perfect amount of glaze. And everybody was so so hospitable.

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.

Intimate breakfast boutique with light, flavorful fare!…read more We wandered into here before visiting the Louvre, drawn by the intimate ambiance. Our waitress was very sweet; she helpfully recommended the salmon to me after I skimmed the menu and asked for her opinion. The food took a while to come out, but I didn't mind; the yummy bread kept me busy. The salmon was delightful! A tuft of arugula sitting atop a poached egg, which after being cut, drools nicely onto the salmon below, all of which is sitting atop a fried potato pancake (I think a latke?). It was delicious and very light. The potato was my favorite; crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a boutique cafe to slowly enjoy their meal.

Fantastic brunch, and near the Louvre! FYI there is no a la carte brunch (except for the individual…read morepastries) - you can only get these multi-course prix-fixe brunch meals. There were only 4 available the day I came, so a lot of the dishes I'd read about weren't available, and you can't mix and match courses (I couldn't have ordered the French Toast and the Benedict, unless I got two entire meals to myself). Although most of the guests seemed like tourists, there were still French speaking customers and this did not feel touristy. THE WAIT: We got here at 12:25pm, and it was about a 30-minute wait. THE SERVICE: Excellent, very accommodating to us with a stroller, and they spoke great English. THE COST: 75€ total for two brunch tastings and a couple extra pastries to go. THE FOOD: LE RIVE GAUCHE, 32€ * Vitamin juice (carrot, ginger, etc) - 4 stars Sharp & pulpy - I enjoyed this! * Coffee - 4 stars Good, but unlike most other places we went in France, ordering a cafe did not mean getting an espresso. * Madeleine - 3 stars Dry. Needed butter or jam to be edible. * Selection of breads - 3.5 stars Fine, my boyfriend loved the grain roll, but I found it a little bland a dry. Honestly these are a little bland compared to the rest of the meal! * Roesti with smoked salmon - 5 stars My bf says: it was a menagerie of delicate flavors - it was really f****** good. Slightly picky thing I noticed - the poached egg did not have a runny, but rather a soft, yolk. * French toast - 4.5 stars Very soft and moist, great with the light (and not overly sweet) whipped cream. LE VERO DODAT, 32€ * Cappuccino - 4 stars On the sweeter side, but perfect for me. Nice thick texture. * Mini croissant - 4.5 stars Airy light with a lovely ever so slight crisp. Loved this. Great with butter or jam, or without. * Scrambled eggs - 5 stars Silky soft, absolutely perfect textures! Fyi a lot of the same flavors/sauces as the Roesti (in the "Le Rive Gauche"). * Claus muesli or homemade granola (not sure which one I got) - 4 stars Lovely toasted flavor, and the hazelnuts were an amazing addition (I make homemade granola and this makes me want to add hazelnut into the mix!). My first time having fresh miniatures lingonberries and I liked the tart contrast they brought. A LA CARTE PASTRIES * Brioche bread - 4 stars Lovely, fluffy, and soft. We bought this in the way out and didn't eat it for 18 hours, but it was still great (the tiniest bit dry by then). * Matcha bread - 4.5 stars Still crazy moist after 18 hours in our bag. Definitely dense, and love the flavor!
