    Menu for me to remember

    Southern French comfort, homely and sauced up dishes that can be served with wine and/or beer, which will make it a fabulous and fulfilling meal! I met up my French friend that I haven't seen for a couple of years, here! Say it ain't so, but time flies by in a blink of an eye! It was a wonderful food and dining affair! We had to wait to get a table for 2 plus hours and by the time 10pm arrived, we were seated and this place was still crowded! Whew, this place is popular! Ah, and after devouring my sauced up beef with side sliced potatoes and salad, I surely know why! It's delicious and I couldn't get enough of it! There are times when I wished I had two stomachs to feed and the times are like these entrees that they serve up! I do recommend their duck confit that was creamily sauced up! It was nicely tender! I preferred the duck over beef platter! I love Chez Gladines and you will too!

    A typical little French restaurant- charming, cramped, astounding food. The service was good, the decor was nice though not fancy. But seriously- the food is great. My mother had the cassoulet, which was superb. Hearty, a bit salty, chock full of goodness. I had the magret de canard. I love duck anyway, but this was outstanding. Served with a very fresh salad and simple but great potatoes. For dessert we had ile flottante, one of mom's favorites. All in all a wonderful experience, and I hope to be back someday.

    One of my new Paris favorites. Awesome dudes running food and the bar, and just busy as hell. There's a reason for this...the food is awesome! We got some beers and some amazing Sangria. Pro tip: get the sangria. You will probably wait a minute for food, but that's ok! They play amazing music and it's fun in this joint. Ok, food. Oh, the food. We ordered so much, and we are it all because it's just that good. We got a dozen snails. The garlic and parsley. Oh wow, it was so incredible. We then got the cassoulet basque, which has pork, an amazing basque sauce, and vegetables. It's like your French grandma made you dinner. Heavenly. We also grabbed some chicken, the poulet basque, which was good but not as mind blowing as the other two dishes. You probably can't go wrong here. Seriously.

    The food here is - AMAZING - CHEAP - GIGANTICALLY Portioned The four of us ordered: - Salade Complète 8,90€ (fried potatoes, tomatoes, cantal cheese, egg, jambon de pays) - Escargot Cassolette Basque 8,90€ (escargot deshelled in basque soup base) - Escalope de veau montagnarde 14,30€ (veal covered in gravy and potatoes) - Confit de canard aux cèpes 13,80€ (duck confit with mushrooms) - bottle of cote du rhone 14,50€ (red wine) My favourite was the duck confit, however, the escargot was so good with bread because of the yummy soup base. My friends really loved the veal and the gravy and the layered potatoes with cheese. Honestly everything was great and to top it all off, the service was really good. I'm so glad I found this place via Yelp!

    Chez Gladines is a really budget friendly restaurant serving such large portions of Basque food. The wait here is hideous... It will most likely be an hour or two. However, if you want to avoid the wait, you'll have to come here right when they open. However, that is totally the tourist way of eating dinner. Anyways, the thing to try here is one of their salads (I tried the one with the liver, which was quite lovely) and the escalope de veau. It is a huge mound of potatoes, ham, cheese, and veal, topped off with a rich brown gravy. Do not skip the salad! The salad is really good. Really, a salad and a main entree is plenty of food for two people. So if you come with a group of people, plan on splitting the entrees and salad since the portions are huge. There is also a bowl of communal bread.

    Great dishes, we also were able to order vegetarian versions of the salad and omelet.

    Absolutely amazing restaurant! The service was great and friendly even though it was a crazy Saturday night. My friends (3 or which were vegetarian) were all completely satisfied with our meals. Besides having amazing food and being flexible with our dietary restrictions, Chez Galdines was a great place to escape tourists. Its quite unassuming but quintessential French quinine.

    Small space, limited amount of seating so there was a long wait but it's definitely worth it. The food here was amazing. Large portions and bursting with flavor. The escargot with garlic and butter is amazing. The duck confit was tender and practically fell off the bone. The squid was so soft possibly the best I ever had. The price is just right and I wish I could go back and try out more of their menu.

    Prices were very reasonable for the delicious food with large portions.

    Excellent food, terrific value, large portions, a must go. Casual environment is simple, a little loud and crowded, we came as a party of 3 and had to wait 45 minutes to be seated AND IT WAS WORTH IT!

    A Basque restaurant frequented by locals and nearby students. Hearty portions of southern French…read morecountryside cooking. We had the fortune of meeting a friend here that has been going to the other branch for 40 years and he swears by its authenticity. We started off with Kir Royales which is the quintessential pre meal beverage. And then moved on to mains as appetizers are not necessary given the portions. Their cassoulet was incredible with real stick to your ribs appeal. However I feel the star of the show was their 5 diamond salade. Imagine a bed of greens supporting their duck fat potatoes fried crisp, topped with generous portions of lardons and chicken livers. All garnished with mini rounds of cheese on toast and a fried egg! What is not to like? The decor is classic diner, nothing fancy it it is all about the food. Service was friendly and not intrusive.

    My husband is basque(more Spanish Basque) so we had an idea of what to expect food wise…read more The food was hearty with rice, beans, and potato dishes. Priced as expected in a tourist area. We found the service quite friendly unlike what I was expecting after the reading of some of the Yelp review. Our server was super friendly even with my lack of the French language. I just showed him my Google translator to help when I ordered or needed an item. He did offer me a wine recommendation to accommodate my basque chicken meal that I did enjoy. My chicken was tender and fell off the bone. I would have liked a bit more meat in my dish. It came with a thigh and a small wing. For the price of 14 EUR, I would have like at least two thigh or a small chicken breast. Food was good not sure if it's something I would go back for. Desserts were a nice closer to the meal. Overall the vibe and service was a 4 star rating but food wise I would give it a 3.
