    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.

    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!!

    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

    Leg of Duck with mashed potatoes
    Ramon J.

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

    Best eats for your buck and great STAFF
    Patrick R.

    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

    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.

    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!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.

The Ravioli Dauphine was perfectly cheesy, just needed some extra salt. The Chickpea Fries and Warm Goat Cheese were nice starters, and I liked the bread basket that was given freely - especially the inclusion of a walnut raisin bread. NOW, the star of the show and the reason you're probably here: the Chocolate Mousse. Yes it is worth the hype. Only complaint - we had some leftover and they refused to box it for us.

We sat in the back (not the very back), but the front area looks very cozy --mostly reserved for French speakers, it appeared. We ate here twice in one week.

Simple classic French cuisine. We shared the mini raviolis stuffed with mushroom and a foie gras sauce. Wow. And shared their famous beef bourguignon. The tender beef, the sauce! I love the way they plate it too. Delicious. And a bottle of Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil (Loire Valley). The second visit (3 star) was very different from the first visit. Less friendly, borderline rude, took a long while for table service even though it was not busy, rolled their eyes about us sharing and at our wine bottle selection. We didn't feel welcomed. Food remains good, but not outstanding. Roll of the dice on service. I'd say if you're in the area and you don't have to wait it'd be worthwhile, otherwise seek a less touristy spot.
