I appreciated the simplicity of the menu due to the whole not able to speak French thing. The Team recognized my limitation after my greeting of "bonjour" ad walked me through in English how to order and what was available to order. I was thankful and glad I choose what I did. DECOR: The restaurant is exactly what you envision a quaint Parisian cafe to be if you're an American. I appreciated the local feel it felt as if I walked into a local jewel and was able to still be part of it even though I don't speak the local language. The water and silverware are placed in the middle of the restaurant so you can help yourself as you need to. The dirty dishes are something you bus yourself as well. FOOD: The food is very fresh and made that day. If you miss one of the dishes then you missed it there is not really a second or third batch. I enjoyed that knowing that my food was fresh that day felt good. You choose three items and a beverage if you choose to. Anything you choose will be both seasonal and delish. WAITSTAFF: Most of the interaction that you will have will be with the person that is manning the counter. After that it's more of a self serve experience.

We elected to sit outside which may have been a mistake due to the weather and my inability to properly plan for weather but it provided some decent people watching. There are QR code menus on the table but they are only in French and do not contain a drink menu. We were given paper menus with English descriptions and drinks at our request. To drum up the ol' appetite, GF started with an old fashioned and I one of the selections from the drink menu, the bonne maman which may be a real drink but nothing I have ever heard of prior. Looking it up, it is a French jam. It may or may not be what I ordered but it was perhaps a touch too sweet but at least it went down easily. For the solids, I ordered a vegetarian salad with a bunch of veggies and a very light, freshing sauce over a bed of quinoa. Other than the onions, this was very tasty and I didn't hate myself after eating it. I just may shit this week because of this meal in between all of the cheese (of which you are about to get a glimpse) and pastries. GF ordered the croque monsieur which comes with fries and a salad. As a vegetarian, I did could only sample a small corner of the sandwich that did not have a slice of ham and it was INCREDIBLE. The bread was toasty but that cheese combo on the bread was heaven. The fries were also pleasantly crispy. We haven't been absolutely bathing in cheese yet on this trip so we ordered their cheese plate and, as GF put it, "they really cleaned out their fridge for us". I have never seen a cheese plate like this before. It was a straight up plate entirely covered in different cheeses. It was so much cheese we couldn't finish it but don't think we didn't try. The cheese was amazing, it was a really nice variety of hard and soft cheeses and went excellently with the French bread with which it was served. A random man, about our millennial age, came up to us and literally asked us for a small piece of the bread from our bowl. It was strange and if this means something, please fill me in. Enjoyable meal.

We were disappointed when we found out Chez I' Ami Louis closed on a Tuesday. So we walked a few…read moreblocks from there and found a good alternative at a cafe called Le Parisien. Since it was cold outside I went with the ultimate winter cocktail of "Irish Coffee" (6.90). Served warm, and with a stir the heavy whipped cream into the whiskey to sweetened it up, it kept me relaxed with my meal. "Gratinee Oignon" (8.50). I'm a fan of French onion soups and the way they make it here didn't disappoint, it was comforting. I really like the caramelized onions within the flavorful broth, and the melted golden brown cheese on the top was pretty good. "Croque Parisien" (14.00). I've probably had something similar to this, but this here was like having ham and cheese sandwich on steroids, it's pretty thick between the loafs of bread. It's topped with lots of arugula and gives it some bitterness. Overall, this Croque will keep you full. Their menu is in French, and our waitress was helpful in describing what the items are in English. They do have a kids meal as well. WiFi is free here, however only they put in their secret password in your phone for you, to ensure its not a free for all around the restaurant. If you need a random stop to eat, Le Parisien is it.

The onion soup was very dark brown (see pictures), as the sautéed onions had burnt and the soup was very dark. They didn't care to take out the burnt onions from the soup broth!! The burger was just ok, compared to other cafes in Paris we tried, it was nothing memorable. Just a very plain and bland. Meat quality was just OK. Not a place I would go out of my way to dine at in future.

The ambiance is quaint and picturesque, reflecting the tranquil personality of the quarter.
