Chez Janou was my introduction to Parisian dining. To me, the feeling was comparable to stepping inside an animated French children's story where I was the main character enchanted with all my surroundings. True to French brasseries, Chez Janou can pack a lot of people in a small space. If you often get claustrophobic or merely dislike sitting closely to others, opt for a seat at the bar instead of the dining room. Also true to French dining, you can't expect a server to immediately come to your table to take your order. Parisians enjoy their meals in no rush whatsoever. However, we somehow managed to grab a table without hesitation on a bustling Saturday evening. One of the elements of the meal I will never forget was the table-side absinthe. I channeled my inner novelist and glistened with joy experimenting with this totally un-American experience. Remember folks, drink slowly. Unless fist fights are your cup of tea! We sampled many items, yet the standouts were no surprise to us. Bread and cheese. Cheese and bread. Damn, the French know what they're doing in these departments. A unique dish was the bruschetta topped with tuna. Highly unusual to this Italian man, but delicious! A round of applause goes out to our server, who essentially ran the dining room single-handedly. He swiftly touched each table while maintaining composure and charm. He delightfully translated the ENTIRE MENU for us and genuinely valued our patronage. Would recommend to anyone searching for an authentic and colorful Parisian experience! read more

At first I was happy with the service, the man working the door was able to squeeze us in without a reservation but we were warned that they would need the table within the hour which was fine because we planned on just getting dessert and drinks. When we ordered desert the waiter didn't even let me finish my sentence before cutting me off to tell me that they get "very busy and cannot sell out of the mousse" which is fine but what was displeasing was then he proceeded to once again cut me off to tell me that had the best starters in the city but unless we were buying "he could not help us." Before we could even respond he rushed away. Did not feel welcomed at all if you know people come for the desert maybe just sell a pre fixed menu or let customers know at the door no need to be so rude about it. read more

I found the food just okay. I don't really understand what all the hype is around this place but maybe it's very traditional basque food and that jus isn't my thing. We ordered the shrimp and spiced rice. The shrimp was cooked well but not too seasoned and the rice was overpowered by the anise. My gf ordered asparagus risotto but it came out as mushroom risotto. The mushroom sauce was delectable but the risotto itself tasted like regular soft rice. This place us extremely popular among locals so make a reservation and note that they only have a French menu. read more

We came on a weekday for lunch right before they opened. We were seated right away and soon enough within 30 minutes there was a wait. Be sure to come early if you have your eye on this placs be because it gets packed w both tourists and locals. We got their: Ratatouille-flavorful, seasoned well, moist. My husband who's not a fan of eggplant enjoyed it. Smoked duck salad- the flavors blended well together despite the balsamic and saltiness of the duck. Risotto with scallops- gotta be my favorite dish of the entire trip. The risotto was cooked al dente, scallops soft and because it's naturally salty, it didn't need additional seasoning. This should be one of your options for your main dish. read more

The food is great here. I highly recommend the steak frites and the mousse au chocolat for dessert

May have been an off night but we had a rushed experience and the food was not good. We didn't have a reservation but we arrived early so they said we could dine but needed to leave in one hour which was fine. However we didn't get service for about 20 minutes. Had to ask three times for bread. Our meals were cold and underwhelming. read more

My friend recommend this place to me during my stay in Paris and I decided to check it out. It was a Saturday night and the wait was pretty long for 2 people, but it was well worth it. After waiting for 45 minutes, my friend and I got seated in the outside seating area. We ordered the duck breast and scallop risotto. I have to say, the scallop risotto was probably one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto tasted like heaven on earth. The duck breast was delicious as well, and the accompanying potatoes were a perfect pair. My friend and I also decided to split a creme brûlée at the end. It seriously was the most perfect meal. It's a little pricey (22 euros + for each dish), but sooo worth it. Splurge a little and have one of the best meals in Paris! Customer service was great and food was even better. Definitely a place I wouldn't mind returning to if I ever go back to Paris!! read more

Very raucous and a great time. Awesome staff who are fast, efficient and really nice. The menu has some nice twists, I had a delicious hefty appetizer of avocado, shrimp and grapefruit salad and the red snapper. This is a menu I can work my way through. Elias served us and is such a great guy. Our hostess squeezed us in at the last minute (literally, it's tight seating) and we loved it all read more

I've been to Paris a few times now, and this has become a visit staple. The food is incredible. And I love the low lighting, energetic, bistro vibe. All French menu, so do a little homework on the dishes before you arrive if you don't know much French. They have an amazing allergen menu too if you need to watch out for that. My gluten free friends got through this menu super easily and were really impressed with the options. It's a place to spend a nice amount of time. No one is rushing you out, you get to enjoy conversation over multiple bottles of wine and good company. I love love love it here. Fav dishes: duck breast, ravioli, and the creme brûlée and the chocolate mousse are the perfect combo to enjoy as a meal ender. Each have a nice balance to make the dessert a perfect duo. read more

The place was packed with eager diners so the food must be good. But I came for the chocolate mousse. To die for. They bring a vat of the stuff and splash a huge amount of mousse on your dish. Oh the drama. Come here to eat and don't forget the chocolate mousse. read more

Got there excited to try due to hearing good things. The restaurant was very tight and compact and they had to pull the table out to be able to sit down. I was willing to look past that due to the fact they brought out bread, not only was the bread cold I almost broke a tooth trying to bite it! The food arrived and looked horrible, it looked like food had just been thrown in the plate. The fish special was ordered and when I receive it had weird sides that could also be referred to a "mystery meat"! I also ordered the ravioli due to it being the only vegetarian item on the menu.there was in fact not a single raviolis I was basically a baked plate of cheese. When I received the steak it was all fat and basically inedible, and impossible to cut! The family at the table next to mine was incredibly nice and I almost warned them that they should leave and the food was terrible. The service was okay not great or special. I said I had a place to be due to the fact that I just couldebt get out of there soon enough. The food gave the same vibe as dennys if not worse. Nothing made me happier to leave and get a falafel sandwich to cheer me up! Do no recommend!!!!! read more

Chez Janou will likely be the finest meal I will eat during our trip to Paris and Cannes, its only day 1 and I am that confident. The vast majority of the reviews are correct, I can understand how the service can be deemed standoffish. We have 3 servers, 2 out of the 3 we're fantastic. One borderline rude, no one is raining on my parade (and yes it was raining) This is as French as French comes, the menu is in French and the servers only speak French.....thank god for Yelp and Yelpers specific pictures with the exact names of the dishes. Magret de canard au romarin which is Duck Breast, potatoes, mushrooms served with the most fabulous wine sauce on the side. The dish was 10 stars, ordered medium the duck came out crispy on top and juicy in the middle. Phenomenal is all I can say. My wife ordered the sea scallops over wheat risotto, the scallops were good but we wish we would have known that the risotto was wheat Rather than the standard rice. It was very good but not what we wanted. The French bread that is served with the meal not before the meal is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. No butter is on the table, instead their house olive oil is off the charts great, perfectly fruity but not over powering. The grand finale was their signature chocolate mousse which is served in a soup terrine and is the finest chocolate mousse a diner can receive.....the crazy thing is it's $9!euros and could feed 20 people. The meal was $55 euros with service/tax included. There is a lovely wine list with prices by the glass and bottle however we abstained as we had pregamed. If in the Bastille section of Paris check out this restaurant. We arrived at 11pm and the restaurant was packed, I can't imagine what it's like at 8pm.....make a reservation if dining at prime time. read more

Staff was very friendly & accommodating as we were stuck in traffic for 1 hour and late to our reservation. They kept the table clear for us and the restaurant was so lively!

It might actually be my favorite restaurant in Paris! read more

FOOD 5/5 Heard a lot about the ratatouille so I had to try it for myself and I will say it did not disappoint!!!! Portion size was a bit small but the entree portion size definitely made up for it!! ENVIRONMENT 5/5 Very typical French restaurant. Small, kinda dark, crowded because so many ppl want to eat!! Waited about 20 minute when they told us 1 hour wait! Awesome! SERVICE 5/5 Very nice, especially to tourists (at least the water we got) spoke great English! We tried practicing our French and they were patient - very impressed! read more

My very-foodie friends (three of them) hugely recommend this place, and now, I do too. We ate here twice. Each time it was terrific. A smallish place, very busy, expect to wait for a table if you have no reservation. Once you are seated, they take care of you, but at the French pace. If you expect to eat and run, this is not the place (and neither, for that matter, are most sit-down restaurants in Paris). The food is all amazing and most of it not your standard fare. The roast duck breast was huge and amazing; pork with apricots masterful. The frog legs were fried and delectable; and we absolutely loved the lamb stew, that had us sweeping the bowl with bread. A cold eggplant entree was amazing. You have to order the chocolate mousse once. It comes in a giant bowl and they serve a massive mound of it. It's over the top. The second time, we went with a more modest dessert. Nothing here is less than terrific. Go here. Order anything. You will be so happy. read more

tried this place at the recommendation of a friend, an expat who'd been living in the area for a few months. i dined solo so it was fairly easy to be seated at the bar. it's very obviously a spot for locals, the ambiance was very fun and lively and i can see why it was recommended. the reason for a 3/5 was because the mushroom risotto i ordered wasn't really all that appealing. i'm not sure if it's because i'm used to different spices/flavors but it tasted quite bland, and with paired with the texture it became a bit too much. if i had the chance to return and try something else i would, since the menu was in french and i don't speak it i just picked the most identifiable dish which was a mistake on my part. read more

I would not recommend this to any tourist especially if you have limited time. It's impossible to make reservations and you will wait for 1-2hours. The food is ok and not worth the long wait I can guarantee that. We came here at 9pm. We were with some other people waiting, maybe European. But I noticed that the staff sitting and enlisting customers checks on them and apologized for the wait but did not even make eye contact with us. Though we are right in front of her face. We were pretty chill at first because they told us the waiting time and we agreed. But after waiting for an hour and be treated like this, I just couldn't help but feel offended. We came a long way to come here, and my biggest regret was staying for this food. After the very long 1.5 hour, we were told we can be seated, but in the bar. When we entered, there were 4 seats open in the bar. We asked for the food menu, apparently they have none. We asked the bartender and she pointed us the one hand-written in the board behind us. We obviously don't speak French and would like to see a printed menu where I could take a picture and translate it via google translate. However, since we were pointed to this board and not given a menu, we just worked our way and thank God google translate worked. We were able to eat past 11pm. Was it worth waiting for 1.5 hour? Was it worth eating dinner at 11 in the evening? Was it worth riding the train at 12:00am as a tourist? (BTW, the walk to the train station is a bit sketchy). It's all NO! There are so many places to eat in Paris. This place is not the one. The food, the staff, the bartender, the aggravation, the long wait are all not worth it. Your time is more important, you wanna feel good and treated well when you eat. They will not respect that here. So choose wisely on how you will use your time and money in Paris. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Paris. Always crowded so come ready to wait or get a reservation.

My new favorite Paris restaurant. We didn't have a reservation on a busy rainy afternoon, yet the host was very gracious to find a table. Tucked into the entryway we enjoyed the lively friendly atmosphere of both the bar and the dining room. Everything we had was fantastic. Petit Chèvre in a tasty red Romarin sauce, stuffed vegetable farci, Brandade de Haddock. The house red wine was inexpensive and fantastic, pay for what you drink. Excellent location behind the Place des Vosges. read more

Amazing find in Marais, it's a tiny spot which is almost all local and it specializes in Southern French / Provençal cuisine. The cheese ravioli was an amazing starter that could be a small entree as well, the prawns were cooked to perfection and make room for the chocolate mousse. The service was wonderful, they made us feel welcome, and well taken care of in this bustling and fun cafe. It is the Parisian bistro people think of but don't get to experience in the more touristy spots. It's mostly French speaking but it's nothing a few basic French lessons or phrases would allow you to really enjoy your time there. There's no reservations, you put your name on the list and wait, the bar area is small. read more

Nice little bistro. Good food with Provence influence. Nice atmosphere and good service. Prices maybe on the high side but still a worthwhile stop for lunch. I was going to rate it 4 stars but the mousse au chocolat dessert won me over!! A good neighborhood restaurant, maybe a bit touristy but solid. The chocolate mousse at will is incredibly thick and tasty. Joli petit bistrot. Bonne nourriture avec influence Provençale. Belle ambiance et bon service. Les prix peuvent être élevés mais c'est toujours un arrêt intéressant pour le déjeuner. J'allais le noter 4 étoiles mais le dessert mousse au chocolat m'a conquis !! Un bon resto de quartier, peut-être un peu touristique mais solide. La mousse au chocolat à volonté est incroyablement épaisse et goûteuse. read more

Ok.. so Chez Janou needs to be A1 on your Paris restaurant list. You may have to wait an hour but it is definitely worth it. My group and I ordered duck/steak/scallops and choc mousse and are convinced we could have ordered anything and would have felt the same. But also, like, you need to order the chocolate mousse.. Hope to make it back here in my lifetime.. also special shout out to the hostess' sense of humor and the jar of dijon mustard. from LA read more

The food was good, but I don't think it lives up to the hype. The bartender was great, but one server was terrible. A glass broke and some glass shards landed on my plate. The server just laughed and said "oops." There was no apology or any sense of concern. That was unacceptable. The bartender did some damage control after that because he saw was that I was utterly horrified. read more

Fun spot...! Packed on a Friday night. Waited about 45 minutes. Super small space, friendly staff over half know some English.

Chez- I am obsessed! First dinner in Paris. No reservations. Recommended by a friend. Sat outside. It's located in a very quiet and quaint area of Paris. There are heaters outside which were nice as it was somewhat chilly. I ordered escargot with pasta. It was good and my first time trying snails. Not the most flavorful dish. However my friends had risotto with scallops and the duck which were both very good. When you come here you must get the chocolate mousse. It's an absolute must. The best mousse of my life. They bring it out in a literal pot that could feed 10. Just 3 of us we got a little over half of it eaten. Very good and not too sweet. I would come back. read more

I found this place when I was studying abroad in Paris, and I would absolutely recommend it. It's a charming French bistro that has quality French food and an incredible atmosphere. I found they were very accommodating too--I told them I was vegetarian and they prepared something off menu for my main course. Ratatouille and mousse au chocolat were standout items for me! Definitely call a day or two ahead and make a reservation. read more

We had a long layover in Paris and we found ourselves at cute little hotel in the city. Looking up nearby dinner restaurants we find Chez Janou. The reviews were great and it was only a 3 minute walk from our hotel. Some of the reviews mentioned getting reservations but we decided to try our luck and head there immediately. We got there around 7:30pm and the place was PACKED. No host in sight (I'm still not sure if it's seat yourself) but we found a table outside and sat down hoping we could eat. Luckily, our server spoke English and was very nice to help us figure out the menu! There's some reviews here that say service here is bad for foreigners but we did not have this issue. Tip: They have WiFi so use google to figure out the menu. There is no English menu. FOOD: Duck Breast. Oh my! A+++ I have never had duck breast before but looking at pictures and reviews... I decided to give it a try. I'm so happy I did!! This melts in your mouth. I loved the wine sauce that came with it. It's perfect in every way. Get this. Baked Mussels. A+++ This was sooooo good. We were literally licking the shells and I really considered hard about getting another round. The seasoning is perfect. I loved this. Get this too. Chocolate Mousse. B- This dessert is the most popular here and I think because it's more of a novelty. You get a BIG bowl (it's actually unlimited) of chocolate and it's really fun to take pictures of. However, it's your basic chocolate mousse. It was a fantastic dinner and made us want to come back to Paris! read more

This restaurant was recommended by a French friend and it was amazing! Eating here was an experience. One reason was because it took forever once we were seated to have our order taken and then it took like an hour to get the check. People aren't joking when they say the French really enjoy their meals and don't rush. Only one waiter took care of 8 tables or so... we had to be really patient. Just relax and enjoy your meal and company! Our dining experience literally took 3 hours from start to finish. I got the duck breast (probably the most popular item here) and it didn't disappointment. Cooked medium rare perfectly and the potatoes were so creamy and smooth! You really don't get potatoes like that in America. My bf ordered the pot-au-feu (French beef stew) on a whim since it was a special written on the board and he loved it! It's beef shank, marrow, and vegetables in a really light, clear broth, unlike the thick gravy of American stews. The beef was fall-apart tender, and the stew was light but had a comforting home quality about it. Lastly, I have to mention the chocolate mousse! Omg you must get this. When you order the chocolate mouse, they just bring out a HUGE pot of mouse. You're not expected to eat the whole pot! Just spoon as much as you want onto your plate. If you finish and want more, just spoon out more mousse. The two of us ate as much as we could handle and we only ate like 1/8 of the pot. And it was seriously the best chocolate mousse ever. It was the perfect balance of dark chocolate and sweetness, definitely not too sweet. Rich but also airy. We still think about the mousse and dream of coming back! At the end they also gave us both a complimentary apple digestif. read more

This was my last meal in Paris so I was pretty excited to end my trip with a great meal. Based on the reviews I've read online about this place, I couldn't wait. I wasn't able to make reservation because there's no website, either that or I couldn't find it. I took a chance and went on a Tuesday night right when they just opened. The restaurant was pretty full on a Tuesday so I can't imagine the wait on the weekend without reservation. I like how they have olives at every table so customers can snack on them. We started out with the mussels and those were delicious. Definitely a must at this place. For the main dish, the duck breast was something I looked forward to since the beginning of my Paris trip, but it was disappointing. Meat wasn't tender and the flavor was lacking. My husband risotto with scallops were better, but I'd have prefer the risotto not to be tart though. The service was good and the mussels were delish, just not the duck breast in my book. read more

During my limited stay in Paris, this was definitely my favorite restaurant for dinner. The first time we dropped by, we were notified that the kitchen did not begin serving until 7pm, so we walked around a bit until 6:45pm, and grabbed a table before the dinner rush. Note that the place does get busy, and by the time we left, they were turning people away at the door (around 9pm). We started off with a bottle of Chez Janou wine, which was quite drinkable, and there was so much on the menu that sounded delish from duck to rabbit to fish. I opted for the veal liver with pommes (which I thought were going to be potatoes, but actually apples!), the brother ordered braised beef, which was like a bourguignon, and friend Jemina E. ordered the rabbit. The food came quite quickly, within 15-20 mins, and every single dish we got was magnificent. The veal liver was the perfect texture, delicious paired with the provided sauce (vinegar-y and sweet), and the sweet apples added another dimension to the dish. The braised beef dish was also very tender, and the rabbit fell off the bone to our liking. Being a yelper, everyone talks about the chocolate mousse, so we ordered it, not quite knowing what it was all about. Once the porcelain pot came, we then knew what that was. We're talking a huge as-big-as-your-face-but-probably-bigger basin of rich chocolate. Later, some patrons explained that you are supposed to spoon out however much you want onto a plate, and they take back the bowl, but initially we were straight up shocked. For only 9 euros, it was a pretty good deal, as we shared between our table. I highly recommend this restaurant if you can get there at a good time - and the waiters speak decent English as well! read more

I was able to snag a table here by some stroke of luck. We came here on New Years Eve and it was the best choice I made all year. Chez Janou has AMAZING energy--bustling, narrow, and full of life! This is the quintessential Parisian restaurant you've been looking for. We feasted on wine, veal liver, scallops and their popular duck confit. I loved the duck confit--tender and flavorful! Even the veal liver was good, for those that enjoy that part of the cow. The scallops were fresh and tasty as well. We ordered their famed Chocolate Mousse which comes in a large serving dish--you scoop as much as you want, and then they take it away to the next table. The experience of ordering it is entertaining, though the mousse itself cannot be consumed in a larger quantity than 3-4 spoonfuls. Soft and chocolatey, though leans on the heavy side. The servers make up most of the experience--they were smiling, kind, and full of life. Perhaps it was just the New Years energy, but one of the waiters poured shot after shot into all the patrons' mouths, while everyone cheered. We loved every minute of it, and if I were to live in Paris, I'd easily be a regular here! read more

One of the better French meals we had while in France. After approaching our last days of the time in Paris, we were sharing our not so great food experience in France with a local. She recommended that we go here, as the food is delicious with modest pricing. I was surprised by the flood of Americans and/or English speaking customers around me at this restaurant. We luckily squeezed ourselves in at the last hour before closing with no wait at all. Our waitress was super nice, and service was great here. Steak with potato gratin- 4 stars. The steak was cooked well, delicious, but, I'm not sure if I'd say this was the best steak of my life. The potato grain on the side was yummy. Seafood risotto- 2 stars. I got laughed at later, when I told someone that I ordered a risotto a this restaurant. They're known for meats. Well, I was craving some rice, and I just opted for this choice. The risotto itself had a slightly strange texture than what I associate with a risotto. Flavor was not bad at all, but, I'm not sure if this was very good. Chocolate mousse- 3 stars. We were recommended that we HAVE to get the chocolate mousse if we come here. They brought a gigantic pot, and scooped two spoons onto a small side plate. I was confused and overwhelmed thinking that this entire pot was our order. It turned out that it was a community pot, and, I guess good thing is you can eat multiple servings out of it if you want. We only got charged for one order. Not bad, but I was expecting a chocolate mousse cake for some reason. This is straight up like chocolate pudding with extra cream in it. Bread- mmmmmm. Not to my liking. Lovely place, cute decor, clean, and best part is that they understand English well. It's a nice spot to come with people, enjoy good food, and for the price, I'd say that this is definitely a great bang for your buck, value restaurant out of all the French foods we had. I'd go back and probably give a stab at the duck dishes and stick with more meat options. read more

This place was our first meal in Paris and we were mesmerized by French cuisine. I highly recommend making a reservation if you do not want to miss a chance to dine here. Luckily for us, we eat early so the restaurant wasn't so full, though soon after we were seated it got pretty packed. Restaurant is located on the outskirts of the city and sort of in an alley type of location. It offers limited balcony seating and pretty big indoor seating compared to most restaurants in Paris. When we first walked in, there was a lot of asian tourists, which made me uneasy as it can either mean 2 things; A tourist trap or genuinely awesome place. Luckily, it was the latter. Despite all the English speaking tourists, the staff was very friendly and spoke English. Of course, have manners, and ask if they speak English in French first. Oh, and they were also super accommodating in helping me charge my cell phone as well. Extra points for that, cause you know phones are our life line. For our appetizer, we started off with tuna carpaccio, which was just perfectly fresh, sliced, and seasoned with their tangy sauce. For entree, I had the seafood platter, Polee de fruits de Mur. Ummmmmmm... the best seafood platter ever! All the seafood was perfectly cooked, just right, that it wasn't raw or rubbery like when you overcook it. On top of that, tomato based sauce and voila, a pasta like dish, but without the carbs. My bf ordered the escargot pasta, which is a must in Paris. It was my first time eating escargot and it was a good experience. Pasta was pesto based and on top, truffle escargot as the protein of the dish. The taste of escargot wasn't masked, nor highlighted. It was a good balance of flavors and introductory to escargot. Lastly, for our dessert, we had their rich, heavenly chocolate mousse. Just to warn you, the images in Yelp is misleading. You do not get the whole bowl, unless I guess you have enough people in your party or ask nicely to take a picture. In reality the bowl is size of a basin and they charge you by the scoops. Don't get too greedy like us and overstuff yourself with 2 scoops because 1 is enough for 2 people, and definitely don't miss out on your chance to try this either. Hands down, this place was the best meal that we had in Paris! read more

Fun and super French spot but also a looot of tourists. The food was really good though. I got the veal liver and it was soft like butter. So rich. My friend got the duck and wow it was amazing. If you want to semi-splurge for a night and meet fun people and sit and dine in a dimly lot crowded French restaurant then this is for you. Also tried the chocolate mousse cake which is HUGE btw and it was good. We only tried it cause the table next to us were also only two people and wanted to share because you clearly need an entire family to eat that ginormous vat of choco goodness. read more
