Everything was so tasty and of course the houmous with warm pita is a must. Our second lunch we had the Specialite de ma grand-mere (roasted lamb shank with figs) which melted in your mouth, it was so tender. The chicken kabobs and Spanakopita were tasty, however the pork kabobs lacked flavor and were very tough. The staff and especially Leila were lovely and attentive and gave us a little glass of Ouzo to finish. If your looking for a homey atmosphere and authentic Greek cuisine, La Crete is the place!

We were in Europe for 16 days and this was our best meal and overall dining experience!! From the…read moremoment we walked in and were greeted like family to the end of the meal, we felt so welcomed. We found La Crete on TripAdvisor and decided to stop in due to the great reviews. We checked Yelp of course and saw they were great here as well. To begin, we ordered hummus and immediately dug into the hummus that was absolute perfection. The pita bread they served it with was grilled and had some herbs on it as well...delicious!! We told the server, I think was one of the owners, the hummus was amazing and he brought us a little bit more. We all ordered skewers with baked potato, salad and tzatziki and we all loved it. The amazing service continued throughout the meal and when baklava was suggested we decided...why not? I'm not usually a fan of baklava because it is most likely made with walnuts or pecans and I hate both of those. This baklava was made with pistachios and was so very yummy. Again...perfection!! We made plans to return the following night and our trip on the Seine river went too long and we had to leave without getting another chance to return. Although this made us sad, we still felt very fortunate to have had the chance to eat here once. If you have the chance...eat here! I recommend it without hesitation!!

Looking at the photos of Istanbul, it has to be the same place, with the fabulous deli case. We had the hummus, tarama (pink caviar dip) and tzatziki with plentiful pita bread. All three were outstanding! We also had the chicken kebob and lamb kebob. Which were fine, but it was the dips that blew me away. I wish I'd had time to try other items in that deli case--it would be perfect to carry back to an Airbnb with a fridge. To top it off the waitress, manager, owner was so friendly and working non-stop. I found it by walking past it on the street while exploring the shops and restaurants on Rue St. Jacques. I looked up, saw the bright new sign and looked through the window. When I saw the deli case, I was sold.

It wasn't too heavy and gave us energy for a full day of walking. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting the area. Sit down, order some wine, eat some food and enjoy the scenery!

We arrived a bit early for our reservation, which was no problem. They seated us. They brought no…read morewater, no silverware. When they asked if we wanted wine, we ordered one small glass and one small carafe. Neither of which came. A second server appeared and asked if we'd like to order, to which we responded. We had already ordered the wine. He laughed. He did bring us the wine. One glass each. I returned my glass for a small carafe. We still have no silverware, no salt and pepper, no water. When approached for our dinner order, we said we were splitting a Greek salad, and three appetizers. We were dissatisfied with the fact that the appetizer platter they offer of six appetizers, is of their choice. Not our choice of appetizers. Therefore, we ordered three of our own to share: tzatziki, fried zucchini, meatballs. Unfortunately, at our small table for two, they brought four dishes at the same time. There was not room enough for all four plates. They did not bring us our own small plate to put our individual portions on. We were forced to eat out of the serving dishes, Which came with no serving spoons. Moreover two times, not once, but two times, they brought us grape leaves. And we reiterated that we had ordered meatballs. I have no idea what the issue was with that. Until the waiter said the menu has a misprint. I was speaking English, meatballs do not sound like grape leaves. In any case, the fried zucchini was unpalatable. Was not thin strips, not delicately fried. They were balls of raw dough with zucchini thrown in. I could not eat them. The tzatziki was very good. The meatballs never came. After we were done with the salad, zucchini and tzatziki, they brought us four small meat patties (on the house). To be honest, they were hot and flavorful. Moreover, the feta cheese in the Greek salad was completely flavorless. Embarrassing. But I was no longer hungry. I must say the craziest thing of the evening was they had no pita bread. They ran out. What kind of Greek restaurant runs out of pita bread? They offered us baguette (it is France). However, it is not what we wanted. And they neglected to say when we ordered our appetizers that they had no pita bread. Eventually forks came, no small plates for our individual eating. They did bring us two small pieces of orange cake again on the house. Very sweet, slightly flavorful. Not interested. My friend and I were completely dissatisfied with the service, the quality of the food, the competency of the staff. We practically had to beg for forks, water, the correct item we ordered from the menu. The ambience is cute. We enjoyed each other's company. But this place was an utter and complete waste of time. We live very near Astoria in Queens, New York. And these people should be embarrassed to say that this is a Greek restaurant.

Perhaps it's because the takeout wrap included fries inside the wrap while they place them to the side when you dine in? Or maybe it was an off day? Not sure. The customer service was extra friendly.

That's what drew us to the fresh Israeli fare at this casual cafe. At around 7PM, the place was hopping because there were quite a few people not only dining but also waiting for takeout orders. We planted ourselves at the counter facing the busy prep area where the staff was assembling plates and pitas. We decided to share the 7,50€ Green Beans which looked to be quickly sautéed in lemon, garlic, and olive oil to a fresh, tasty snap (Photo 10). Jamie ordered the 13€ Golden Ratatouille, a healthy melange of eggplant, tomato, zucchini, carrot, and onion mixed in their house tomato sauce with a nice side of hard-boiled egg and tahini (Photo 8). Well, I thought one of us should try their specialty pita sandwiches, so I went with the 13€ Lamb Kebab. It was delicious with big lamb and beef meatballs peeking out of a nice fluffy pita stuffed with red onions and chopped cilantro, mint, and green onions. It was slathered liberally with tahini and their housemade spicy sauce (Photo 9). It was just the Middle Eastern meal we were hankering for. We can have escargots and croissants some other time.

I want to like Miznon more than I actually do. I love the gimmick of full roasted vegetables…read morewithout any seasoning, allowing the diner to doctor to taste. The cauliflower and sweet potato are visually stunning and well-roasted, but ultimately the condiments the restaurant offers don't compensate for the neutral preparation. Even tomato sauce, hot sauce and salt together couldn't coat the cauliflower in a satisfying way. When the vegetable is cooked with the idea of its being a blank canvas, it can't be retroactively perfected. Table salt should be a garnish, not the savior of a meal. The sweet potato fares better since I could mainline that vegetable, but if a roast sweet potato is that good without any seasoning, there's no reason to pay a restaurant premium for one. I am not trying to denigrate the concept of Miznon, because to do so would be to miss the point, but I would argue that I only ever need to experience Miznon once for novelty and then can move on to genuine meals at restaurants that justify the cost of dining out.

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!

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.
