This is THE authentic Paris style cafe. I enjoy french style caesar salad with chicken cutlet that I love heavily.

fish & chips

Hendricks and Darell were amazing servers and spoke amazing english for us Americans! Fish and chips, aperol spritz & fruit tart was 10/10! Calm and clean space with great ambiance in restaurant!

12 Escargot and French Onion Soup!

We were staying nearby and this place was always packed during the day so we thought we'd stop in for dinner. We came in close to closing but we got pretty good, pretty welcoming service. We got a couple draft beers and got the dozen escargot and French onion soup to start. Great flavors from the escargot-perfect texture, and deliciously garlicky, buttery goodness. The French onion soup had tons of cheese, crusty, crunchy bread, and it almost tasted like there was goat cheese in it, which I enjoyed. Our entree's were great. My bf got the fish and chips and they were light and crispy with a great tartar sauce, accompanied by salad and fries. My medium rare steak au poivre was cooked just right and the peppercorn sauce was absolutely amazing. It was like a delicious peppercorn gravy that I wanted to put on everything. Would def come back during the day to grab a drink and people watch.

Omg, this place is great for Americans who don't speak French. Waiter Kemal, was very patient with! The quiche salmon and spinach.

Omg, this place is great for Americans who don't speak French; our waiter, Kemal, was very patient with us and made us feel at home. Kemal is the best! Wow and the quiche with salmon and spinach is a must, better than that Trader Joe's we get at home

Stopped by here for a quick lunch. Looked very busy every time I would pass by it so figured it would be good. Sits near the Opera Garnier. Ordered Cappuccino some wine and both were satisfying with my meal and light. I ordered their version of a Caesar salad that had some additional things on it than a typical Ceasar and loved it! The salad was very tasty and filling as it had lots of pieces of chicken and hard boiled egg. As busy as the place was service was attentive and friendly. Nothing fancy about the place simple nice cafe with most outdoor sitting where you can people watch

Two of us randomly walked in while strolling along the boulevard. An ideal place to relax and people watch, it's clean and attractive enough, at a busy intersection with decent sidewalk seating. Enjoyed some good Pschitt[1]. I ordered lemonade, and got a bottle of Pschitt, a glass with ice, and a lemon while my friend sipped on her coffee. Quick and friendly service. Friendly patrons[2], too - a woman even offered to take our photo! [1] Like that pun? [2] Luck of the draw, of course.

Croque Madame at forefront, Croque Poulet at rear, with French Fries $38 euro with drinks
A. S.

Stopped in here to grab something to eat while shopping. It was crowded, tiny tables. We sat in the tented awning area in the front. I had a Croque Madame and my husband had a Croque Poulet. It was quite good, and so was the wine (though I neglected to note what it was, sorry). I have no reason to complain. I attached pics, that's the best way to know what to expect. Our total with drinks was 38 euro. Our server Teddy was engaging, spoke English well and did not bat an eye at my poor Google Translate French. He told us he was going to Boston. Bonne chance Teddy!

8,20 eur Cappuccino !!! Not ok

This place is awful!! Dirty and EXPENSIVE- my cappuccino was 8,20eur !!! The waiters are grumpy and rude; the food is bad. The only thing this place has for itself is it's location. Then again, you're in front of a busy road. Avoid this café.

Wonderful French restaurant excellent atmosphere and great service from Melanie
Julia S.

Melanie was great server we had escargot,duck and crème brûlée was da bomb. Went back a second time although was our server and he was wonderful one of our cats of meat was not satisfactory and she quickly replaced it with them additional salad and fries we couldn't ask for better dessert was a macaron and it was delicious

Lee M.

This place was a nice 10 minute stroll from our hotel. Service was friendly and attentive. We ordered escargots and steak frites and a nice stein of Kronenberg. Snails were tasty pesto butter morsels of goodness. Steak frites was a nice cut of beef done exactly as ordered with crispy fries. Very satisfying meal after a long day sightseeing and walking around Paris. C'est tres bonne!!

How was flying out Charles de Gaulle Airport the next day and I just arrived from Frankfurt Germany…read moreby train when I looked up a French restaurant near the Gard du Nords train station and found BB. Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! 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. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

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.

We were seated at a table facing the smaller street with IKEA City. Not much people-watching happened given shops were already closed in the evening and thus less people shopping on the streets. We ordered the croque monsieur and croque madame. The difference between the two is that the croque madame comes with a fried sunny side up egg. This was heavy but so yummy! The egg yolk makes a great sauce to soak up this cheesy and hammy toast. This came with a salad on the side which had a vinegar based dressing coated on it. The only thing is we had miscommunication with the waitress about drinks. We asked for water (l'eau) but they gave us distilled water in a bottle which costed us 8 euros. I learned it's important to learn to specifically ask for carafe d'eau (tap water in French) to get free water! Felt a bit bad that we were overcharged. Just gotta be careful with communicating next time. All in all, I enjoyed trying the amazing sandwich that is a croque madame. Wanted to give 4 stars for the food but the bottled water still irks me.

Naturally, we had to see what all the excitement was about. ambience has that old-school Parisian bistro feel We ordered their best sellers and while both sandwiches were made with quality ingredients, fresh bread, and generous fillings, they just didn't live up to the expectations. They were good, but they weren't the kind of sandwiches that make you stop after the first bite and think, this is amazing. I honestly don't understand the hype. After waiting in line, I expected something truly memorable, but it turned out to be just a good sandwich, nothing more. If you happen to pass by when there's little or no queue, it's worth trying. But if there's a long line, I'd skip it and head to one of the many other excellent sandwich shops in Paris. For me, the wait simply wasn't justified.

First off, this is an iconic historic hotel. Beautiful location at Place Vendome. My friend and I were hungry and on a weekday night and randomly walked in and were promptly seated. I'm not sure how it normally goes here regarding wait times and reservations. The French onion soup and lobster rolls were divine. The server would walk around with a bread box and would bring the whole box to the table and you could pick from there. We had cereal bread and an onion focaccia. Amazing! They gave us complimentary chocolates too. The vibes and ambience are immaculate. It looks like a classic fancy restaurant. There was a piano player too! They gave us a little chair for our purses. This was a lovely Parisian experience. Highly recommend.
