Stopped here for a late lunch as we walked from the Louvre over to Notre Dame. Our waiter was a friendly gentleman who was constantly joking around. He spoke pretty good English as well, so we had no problems ordering. My travel companion had their mussels and fries, which was surprisingly fresh and delicious. My wife had their hamburger, which while expensive at 16 euros, was absolutely fantastic. I ordered their duck confit, which was cooked well but relatively bland and lacked flavor. I would have given them 5 stars had their duck been more flavorful... Also, they have free wifi here. read more

Café Bords de Seine - French Near Me - Paris, 75

We were looking for a place to eat near the touristy part of town, and I'm not sure if we could have done much better than Bords de Seine. The onion soup was decent. I had a pretty good salmon/citrus/avocado salad, although I had ordered a completely different salad. We were in a hurry, and my aunt and uncle had already been particularly difficult customers, so I wasn't about to complain. My uncle got the fish and chips, and he was pretty happy with it. My aunt ordered the salmon tartare without knowing what that was. When it arrived, and she realized it was uncooked, she asked to add the fish and chips to her order (in addition, not replacing it). The server was a bit annoyed, but the manager stepped in and changed her order without charging us for the original. We finished the meal with a couple of cafes au lait and a creme brulee, and it was undoubtedly the best part of the meal. I wouldn't go out of my way to have another meal here, but you could definitely do worse. Other tables were having breakfast/brunch, and their omelettes looked pretty good. read more

Came here for dinner and was expecting it would be good because of the 4-star rating, but it was just okay. We got seated right away as the place is pretty big and it was not filled. Items ordered: Escargot - Was a little bland in taste, but it wasn't bad and it wasn't overcooked either. Just wish there was a little for flavors to it instead of just olive oil tasting. Foie Gras - First time having it and I thought it was okay. They give you 2 huge slices of it. I had nothing to compare it to at the time. (After eating it a couple more times later in the trip, I have to say that the others were a lot better tasting) Duck Confit - They give you a whole leg and thigh part. It seems like this was pan fried and it was a little dry. Flavors were okay. The potatoes that came with it was pretty good. Lasagna - Nothing special... it was just okay. Overall, this place has a nice view to people watch. The food is okay.. nothing special. read more

Good option for a filling and healthy breakfast. I ordered the London, which is 16 euros for a cup of coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, croissants, bread, an omelette, and a salad. I chose the bacon omelette - caveat: bacon in France is ham and not the American style smoked bacon. But they were quite generous with it and literally every inch of my omelette was bursting with the ham. The salad was lightly dressed and the orange juice so fresh! read more

After a week of late dinners and evening searching for a decent place to eat, we decided to try this after seeing several people in the window eating food that looked decent. We arrived early on a Sunday about 5:30pm and the inside was empty. The sidewalk tables were packed with people trying to escape the rain. Food was good. They have a kids menu so my girls were thrilled. They speak English here and we're super friendly with us and the kids. The primary fare seems to be pizza, but they have a lot of other items on the menu. We each had pizza, but my younger daughter ordered the quiche. It was traditional European pizza. It was good. Their spicy oil was tasty but not spicy at all. Overall price was reasonable for dinner for four with a bottle of wine. read more

I am a tourist, yes, but I know how to be polite. As soon as my boyfriend and I sat down up front, our waiter was rude. Not indifferent, but rude. We ordered two espressos and an entree. He gave us the espressos and then followed up with the bill. The place wasn't busy either. Since the waiter was a jerk as soon as we sat down, I can only think he didn't like us for superficial reasons. I regret spending my money here. read more

It's really hard to pick a cafe in Paris, with all the hustle and bustle of tourist places. So when we were walking away from the islands area along the river and we came across this place, we thought we would give it a try. Firstly, the service was fantastic. Our waiter was lovely. Even though i tried to speak french, we mainly conversed in English, and he also helped me out with some french. The food was actually really good! Husband ordered the baked muscles. He claims they are the best he has had in a while. I ordered the duck confit which was really yummy too. The potatoes were so good! I would recommend this place based on the food and the lovely staff who characterised our lunch. read more

While not life-changing, the Café Bords de Seine deserves five stars for its location, convenience, service, food, and price. While you could find similar food throughout Paris for less, it provided a perfect balance of cozy café without having to go too far from some of the city's best attractions. We came around brunch time and the restaurant was mostly empty. The server was friendly and patient, speaking English well but also putting up with our attempts to order in French. The menu had all the French favorites, making it a good first stop on our tour of Paris. We expected to order something small to tide us over, but the portions were quite large. The croque madame / monsieur and the quiche were tasty and pretty big, and came with a side salad. Our coffees were a good size and the nutella crepe was a perfect dessert to share. With so many options around the city, I'm not sure I would come here for dinner, but it proved to be the perfect spot for a daytime break between sightseeing. If you sit on the (covered) patio you have a great view of the Seine--and can even see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. read more

Found this place relaxing with a great atmosphere great service and phenomenal food. We tried the egg and cheese omelet and the cheese, ham and egg omelet. Both were greatly done. I was able to savory every taste and it left me wanting for more. The freshly squeezed orange juice you have to get. It's prefect. I am definitely going back again for more. read more

Café Bords de Seine - The cheese and ham omelet and the cheese omelet with fresh bread and freshly squeezed orange juice. - French Near Me - Paris, 75

We had to restrain ourselves from going back here every day for breakfast. It was a short walk from our hotel and on our way to the Louvre. The breakfast set was that of any other brasserie in Paris, but the view was wonderful and the eggs that were served with the set were outstanding. A great place to stop and take in the view while enjoying Paris' unique ambiance. read more

Fantastic experience in the shadow of Notre Dame. We stopped for a nice brunch after mass at the Cathedral, and have to say our experience was top notch! My wife ordered the duck and pate salad, and she remarked it was perfect, the best duck she has ever been served. I had an omelet, and honestly I can't figure out how they made it taste so amazing and creamy. More than just the quality of ingredients, it was cooked to perfection. Even my daughter's kid's dish was fantastic. The drinks were a tad skimpy, for an American's taste - but they went very well with the meals. Service was excellent, our waiter was attentive and patient. He managed to shatter every stereotype of an dining experience in Paris. read more

Cruise along the Seine River and find Paris like never before. The only annoying things are the tourists though, who stand up all the time and try to record the whole cruise, blocking sights. You just have to find a great seat. Excellent trip for EUR8 onwards, and extremely romantic at night. It is freezing in the winter though, but if you're strong, you can sit outside (everyone fled inside) and have a clear view of everything. My suggestion: go around 6.30. You'll get a glimpse of sunset, a nice view of the right bank and in the return trip, you get a clear night shot of the exploding Eiffel. read more

Good breakfast, great location for traveler, near d'orsay and louvre, few mishaps with order but happily rectified. Good quality.

The place is amazing, situated right in a corner near Notre Dame and River Seine. The food was great, the staff was funny and accommodating to my 7 year olds. Will come back read more

Do not come here! The worst service I have ever experienced in my entire life!!! Food is horrible... if they remember to bring it. whatever you do, avoid this place. Unbelievable. Waited for the check for 30 minutes and still had to hunt down the server and manager... no luck. They are beyond rude! If I could give 0 stars they would get that without a doubt. read more

The waiter was awesome but the food was just ok. The waiter suggested the lasagna, humm....not what I expected. This was more like a chili casserole with one thin layer of noodle and a thick layer of cheese. It resembled a French ham and cheese panini sandwich. Fries and a salad accompanied my meal. Lots of bread and water were offered and the location is nice. The rest of the family ordered pizza. Both were once again each were heavy on the cheese and not much to write home about. With so many outstanding restaurants in Paris this hasn't been one of our favorites. read more

Tried this place based off location & reviews. The views of Notre Dame are great and the service was very friendly. Coffee, croissants, and fresh OJ were good. My eggs were watery though & my wife's were burned though. Not a bad spot, but with so many others available view it as just one option read more

We were on vacation for 8 days and we tried to eat here every morning. Great place to start the day. I recommend the Gourmand breakfast. The orange juice is pulpy, the soft boiled eggs are very soft, and the omelets are delicious and large. Americano is also very good. Bonus: if you come in the morning, you have a 50% chance of being served by a man who was most certainly born as Robert De Niro's brother, split at birth. read more

I expected this place to be good, but it was just okay. I guess I should've tried their brunch menu, but I came at ~2pm. I had the boeuf bourguignon and escargots. The escargots was okay. Nothing phenomenal. There was a green, pesto-like oil that came in the escargot that was pretty decent to eat with the bread. The boeuf dish took a long long time to come. I almost thought they forgot it since my friend was almost done with her chicken sandwich platter when I got my plate. It lacked seasoning (namely salt). Service was pretty MIA when I went...which is quite a contrast to other reviews. I guess it's a hit or miss thing. read more

Popped in here before 9am on a Sunday and the place was fairly empty. This is a great spot to grab a quick breakfast. Recommend the omelet, coffee and croissants. The staff was quick and attentive, the food was delicious. read more

Great breakfast spot! Had the best orange juice I have ever had! The croissant was perfect and the service was great.

Snotty waiters and mediocre food. I found 6 bay leaves in my French onion soup and veins in the foie gras. Less than impressed. The view was lovely but that's all it has going for it. read more

It was the worst service I ever had. The waiter is extremely rude, impatient and not considerate. He gave me a wrong order and when he finally got it right, he forgot one main item. It was like he blamed the customer for his mistake. The quality of the food is average, but definitely not worth the price ! Very poor service and very average surroundings and quality. Will not ever go back. I went to this place because it was well rated on yelp but I soon enough notice it was full of tourists (i am a Parisian). read more

I would do a 5 star review if it weren't for the gambas (grilled shrimp skewers) that I ordered. It's the most expensive on their menu at 19 euros which was reasonable but not palatable. The sauce that came with it did help, so it was ok. What amazed me was the duck confit; serving was good considering its in a touristy area and the price which is about 14 euros. My kids really loved the pizza which was comparable to a medium size pizza unlike another cafe we went to by the louvre which cost about the same for a slice. Overall a good experience as service was good too so I left extra coins which was not normal in paris! read more

Food was overpriced and service was terrible. Escargot were okay, but much better spots just a few meters away. Avoid this place at all costs, check out the cafe le Zimmer next door instead. read more

I wanted to review this place only for our waiter, brunette bearded don't know the name, that was literally the nicest I'd ever met in Paris. Paris is awful if you're looking for a friendly face at cafés etc... I was also with a relative of visible minority and there's sometimes the fear of racism for her... But felt at home here. Only stopped for coffee but I'd return. Thank you for making us smile. read more

Wonderful service and food. Stopped for afternoon wine and cheese. Returned for dinner after seeing a fantastic production of "An American in Paris". read more

If you are a American reading this review find another restaurant because when I ate there the other day the service was horrible. The only thing that maybe stay for 4 hours was the amazing food! But I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking to find food by the Notre Dame Cathedral! read more

No cruisePick a rainy day and instead of staying indoors, put your rainy day shoes, raincoat and umbrella and walk along the seine riverit gives you a whole new view of what Paris is all about. read more

Based on reviews of others, we stopped here for dinner. For the price, we had a great dinner. We split a salad entree between the four of us, the vegetable salad. Absolutely delicious. That was followed by plats of mussels, rump steak, and veal. All very nicely done. Wait service was attentive. We would definitely go back again for the quality of the food. My husband is very picky and he rates this well! read more

The Beef stew and the pizza Royal were delicious. Been in Paris for nearly a week, and probably our favorite meal. Penne pasta was so so. Nice atmosphere clean and convenient location. read more

Excellent location. Just a short walk from Metro chatlet and is on our way to Notre Dame. I had rump steak with fries which were excellent. My wife's chicken dish with onions are excellent too. Best of all, price are very reasonable as well. Both are well under 20 euro. Friendly services and they speak good English read more

Breakfast was good. Great coffee. Fresh orange juice. Good eggs. Right across from Norte dame and sainte chapelle.

I think its a must see and must do the bateau trip. Its a diferent view of the same city..and u are in the middle of it..magnificent!

only popped in here for a few beers for myself and a couple glasses of wine for my fiancé, but we were left with an incredible impression due to one person: sarah. sarah is the angel from heaven who was polite and charming while also being attentive and informative. we were starved for wifi and in dire need to contact a friend we were meeting on our last night in paris. sarah sat us down, got us connected, and brought us our drinks. she was fun to talk to and was genuinely a very good person. although she was the best part of our experience at the cafe, the view was a close second. sitting along the siene and gazing at notre dame while i watched the hustle and bustle of la halle pass by was an awesome experience i will not soon forget. read more
