Good list of wines and spirits, with wine by the glass still reasonable (€7). I had oxtail terrine as a starter - it was delicious, literally cleaned the plate. Veal liver with mushrooms was outstanding - real wild mushrooms (for those of us visiting from the US, it is a big deal), liver itself perfectly cooked as requested and perfectly seasoned. I like how side dishes are served in the little cups, without clobbering your plate. Had some Basque cake as a desert - that was not my favorite, but that's okay. Excellent service, prompt, friendly, attentive. Definitely recommended. Also reservations are highly recommended.

The seared scallop and poached cod were excellent. He used seasonal ingredients and prepared them simply, without masking their natural flavors.

We opted for the fixed menu; pumpkin soup, beef bourguignon, and cheese for dessert. In between courses, we were offered a delicious little pastry cheese puff and a delightful small cookie. Tip: We made a reservation through the app lafourchette. Though it was "confirmed" via the app, the restaurant called the day of my reservation to confirm that we would be there. Like most restaurants in Paris, our waiter spoke English, but the voice message was left in French. If you don't have cell phone service in Paris, be sure to confirm with them outside of the app!

As someone that loves…read moreFrench cuisine and has been to France, specifically Paris numerous times, I found myself very disappointed in the food here. The steak with bone marrow had little to no flavor, luckily the fries were good. The lobster bisque was very fishy and smelled like it went bad. My sister and father couldn't eat it after trying it. We felt bad sending it back, so we didn't say anything to the server. The Caesar salad came with hard boiled eggs and shredded chicken. Didn't have a whole lot of flavor either, and the dressing tasted like mayo. Not a fan of this restaurant. You can find much better options, and I highly recommend doing your research before booking a reservation at restaurants near the Eiffel tour.

Recommended by our hotel's receptionist, La Cantine du Troquet immediately appealed to us because…read more"Troquet" is the name of our favorite French restaurant back in Boston lol. Apparently one of four restaurants around Paris, LCDT is fairly small and crowded at lunch, but well worth a visit for a pleasant meal with some lovely wines and good service (one of the waiters had passable English). There are also seats at the wine bar. The list is short (bottles and by the glass) but with wines you'll have fun exploring. I enjoyed the seared tuna (thon poêlé) for 25 euros, and we had a lovely glass 2016 Claudie Jobard Rully Montagne La Folie from the Côte Chalonnaise (10 euros for a typical Paris pour). Also a fantastic bowl of parsnip soup, which could have been a meal in itself (10 euros). If this was in Boston, people would be lining up. Definitely get a serving of the frites for the table!

We became acquainted with Christian Etchebest because he collaborated last summer with a local Cape Cod French chef, Phillipe Rispoli (who trained with Paul Bocouse in Lyon, and opened Daniel Baloud's Las Vegas restaurant which earned a Michelin star). That restaurant, PB Boulengerie and Bistro is in Wellfleet, MA. If Chef Rispoli has high regard for a chef, we should all pay attention. In this case, we're absolutely delighted that we did. Of course Chef Etchebest's deserved reputation is sufficient by itself. We called for reservations because we couldn't do it online. English was not a problem. There are 6 Cantines. This is the one on Rue Cherche Midi. 2 of the 4 of us had just arrived so it was an early dinner, and quite a good one. We started with Foie Gras, a wonderful leek dish, and my wife ordered razor clams (which rated A+). Plats: 2 of us ordered a lovely, simple, beautifully prepared veal dish. 1 of us had a well prepared cod dish, and my wife had amazing pork cheeks with pui lentels. We had 3 veggie sides, served family style: mashed potatoes, Ratatouille, and Salade Verte...all excellent. Desserts: we split Ile Flottante (floating island) and Pomme Crumble. Both wonderful, but the former was particularly so. The service was attentive, professional, and friendly, but not intrusive, and this was one of the memorable meals we've had in Paris. We're not talking about haute cuisine here. But you'd be hard pressed to find a better bistro experience, and we'd definitely return!

We were outside looking at the menu to see how the prices were, and started noticing that the employees were looking at us kind of weird.

We just wanted to buy some coffee and orange juice. Seemed overpriced anyway.

We ate lunch here after walking all over the city and the food kept us so full we basically skipped dinner. We both ordered versions of the Chez Papa salad which is not your LA greens style salad. This salad is HUGE with greens but also filled with potatoes, bacon, or giblets and slapped with some goat cheese. I can usually finish a salad but I did not finish the Chez Papa salad. There are a bunch of Chez Papa's all over the city so if you walk by one, walk in and prepared to be stuffed!
