Escargot - great. Beef - great. Service - great, considering only one waitress. Location - great. Overall a definite revisit!

We got the duck breast and beef bourguignon and bone marrow, it was my favorite! The beef was like a pot roast I thought everything was delicious. The duck breast and the crispy potatoes and green beans, I was a little jealous I wasn't the one to get that! The bone marrow wasn't my favorite but I don't like the taste of cinnamon so that's probably why. We also got dessert which was delicious! The service was great the gentleman that was helping us was very friendly and even though there was a language barrier we were still able to understand each other. read more

I had been craving Beef Bourguignonne since the last time I was in Paris in 2011. Yelp recommended La Cave Gourmande as having one of the best recipes in the city. We both were so happy at the first bite! That dish brings back so many fond memories for me, and this place serves it exactly right. Your search is over if that is what your heart desires! I'm sure everything they serve is lovely. We loved the wine and the fresh bread too. read more

This is a wonderful and intimate place in Montmartre. It's located minutes away from the Abbesses Metro station and it was one of the best meals we had while in Paris. Be prepared to get cozy with other diners if you come as a couple because is not a very big place. My wife and I came in New Years Day without reservation and the owner was able to squeeze us in but were seated besides another couple. We ordered the escargot as an appetizer. First time trying it and the pesto sauce along with the oil gave it such a pleasant taste. Based on previous Yelp reviews, my wife ordered the Beef Bourguignon and I ordered the square of lamb. Both were fantastic options but I think the Bourguignon is the better choice. We also made the owner chuckle as we are not wine drinkers and ordered mineral water instead. However, he was not rude about it. Highly recommended! read more

After a day of exhaustive walking all over Paris, we wanted to take in a dinner near our rental apartment and walked into this place. We were not disappointed! The boeuf bourguignon was superb. I had the rack of lamb and wasn't too impressed with them. They had a slightly gamy taste, not overpowering but as gamy as one would expect, still I've had better. The waiter was alone and overwhelmed but was still tending to us as best he could. We want to go back just for the bourguignon. read more

Eat here. We have been eating at restaurants in the area and this one is by far the best. Great wine €30-40 a bottle, excellent starters and a Beef Bourguignon to die for. Friendly service and a nice, but small, outdoor dining area. read more

Great little spot in the Montmartre area of Paris. Small restaurant with one guy running the dinning room. And I must say very efficiently. Excellent food. As mentioned in other reviews the Beef bourguignon is the house specialty and yes it is that good ! Also had the bone marrow appetizer and duck breast main. Desserts outstanding. Worth a visit. Reasonable read more

Goat cheese with honey to start, and the duck and lamb for dinner. Fantastic food and friendly service. Does have menu in English available. read more

Me and my wife ate here on 10/26. This was by far our favorite meal during our trip between France and Belgium. I cannot remember the name of the woman hosting and waiting, but I must also say that her personality and friendliness made the experience all the more amazing. See that my wife and were struggling with our French, she gratefully accomodated us by using english while giving us some tips along the way. We started with the goat cheese appetizer, which I would strongly suggest. I had the beef bourguignon and my wife had the duck. Both dishes were amazing. For dessert we shared the rum cake which was literally one of the best I've ever had. Our experience was so great we contemplated going again before we left. If you're in Paris and looking for a good meal definitely try this place read more

Wow wow wow. This place is so good. The onion soup, the Beef Bourguignon, the fish, and the lamb were all top notch. A true French bistro experience with the best food we have had on our trip. Make the trip. You will not regret it. read more

La Cave Gourmande had good food and fantastic service (the waitress was every bit as friendly and attentive as all the other reviews suggest). I had the escargots and beef tartare. I wouldn't recommend the escargots (they're a tourist thing, but it lacked taste and flavour of other escargots I've tried), but the beef tartare was really well-made. It is, however, catered to tourist. I wouldn't go as far as to call it a tourist trap - since it does provide quality traditional French food - but I wouldn't say this place represents your local Parisian joint either. read more

as a group of 5 we went eating in this restaurant for dinner. the reason why i chose this restaurant was because of the good reviews. i made a reservation and we arrived at around 7pm (time for the reservation). the restaurant was pretty empty at this time and when i said that we made a reservation it didnt seem like he knew what i was talking about but he said that it will be a pretty packed evening today so we can go to the restaurant across the street, because they share the same kitchen. we moved across the street but this restaurant was more like a bar than a restaurant. we were not very happy with (especially because i chose this restaurant on the basis of really good yelp ratings) but we didnt complain because we also didnt know where else we could find a restaurant that isnt booked out on this evening. out of nowhere before even choosing the menu the other restaurant-owner came back and said that we can move back in the inital restaurant. i still dont know what changed his mind (if he realised we werent happy? maybe he saw the yelp-app open on my phone? i dont know) but at least we were in the restaurant we wanted to go to and not in a bar with apparently the same food. starting from there everything was much better! the waiter was fun to talk to and we ordered everything we wanted. wine-wise they dont really have a great offer. more like basic wines to normal prices but nothing special. so the question is why do i give this restaurant a 5-star rating eventhough i wasnt happy with the deportation (eventhough it was 70% empty and there werent any more new people coming) and the wines are mediocre?? ITS THE FOOD! The appatizers are fine but the main dishes are AMAZING! i cant even tell you what you should take here because everything i tried was so good! when i'll be back in france and i want some tradional food this is the first place i would go to!! As i said it actually has quite a lot of flaws (or at least on that evening when i was there) but the food makes up everything!! read more

Omg there are no words to describe the beef bourguignon. It was the best I've ever tasted. The potatoes were so creamy and Garlicky. Well worth a trip to Paris alone for. Meal was so good my husband hugged the owner. read more

This was a cute little place for a nice dinner. Our server was a warm, humorous older guy who I suspect is also the owner. He was the only server on a somewhat busy night, but he made the best out of it and we didn't mind the occasional downtime between courses or glasses of wine as he was very personable. We shared the beef bourguignon entree and the bone marrow appetizer and both were very tasty! read more

No way! Don't understand hype place was empty not even employee besides guy at the register. Everything Around here is crazy busy. Food is nothing special. read more

This is one of the best restaurants that I have ever eaten at. We got the duck breast and the beef bourguignon and they were both absolutely delicious. The duck is the best you will ever have and the beef was so tender that you don't need a knife. It was in a quaint area on a slant hill and the waiter was welcoming of all cultures. This was the best meal that we've had in Paris so far and you will not be disappointed if you visit!! 10/10 recommend. This is the kind of food that I came to Paris for! read more

We tried this restaurant based on the reviews of a great Beef Bourguignon. Well, the Beef Bourguignon is outstanding!!! You definitely have to try this when you go there. Literally every table has at least one order and most times multiple orders. The only reason it wasn't 5 stars was the rib steak Frites wasn't as outstanding as the Bourguignon. However it was still good. It really is a one man show. He takes great care of every table. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

I came here by myself to have lunch and it is THE best decision I've made so far on my trip. For starters, I had the vegetable soup which was very delicious, very creamy and flavorful and the perfect size for a starter dish. Then I had the duck breast with the potatoes and veggies, and as soon as it was in my mouth I wanted to cry, it was AMAZING! For dessert I had the apple pie and it was its perfect, not to sweet and the perfect size for little ol' me after having all the food I had before the pie. So if you just happen to pass by or stumble upon this restaurant, eat here, you will not regret it! Also, eat outside, it's a completely different experience and at least today, it's very fresh outside and they have a tarp to cover you from the sun in case of a hot day! A++ read more

Foie gras was lumpy and greasy. Steak tartare has so much mustard, cheese, and capers that you couldn't taste anything else. Fries were fried with other oils. Steak was tough. The only thing edible was the bottle of Diet Coke. It may appeal to the palate of the international traveler, but it's definitely NOT French. read more

I love this restaurant. It has a warm, comfortable feeling. Food was excellent. Escargot, beef and lamb were all delicious. Limited wine menu. The service was excellent. A real find. read more

This is a decent French restaurant. We ordered the standards based on other reviews (beef bourgignon, and duck breast with pepper/balsamic sauce) and both did not disappoint. We also tried the frogs legs as an appetizer but it was only mediocre - small legs, braised in a lot of oil with not much flavor - and it cost 18euro. At least it came with a salad, which is welcome after all the meat and cheese and starch that appears to be the bulk of every French meal. The man who served us appeared to be the only person staffing tables which was fine earlier in the dinner hour but made things pretty slow by the time we were ready to go. He also did not have a wine list but said he would choose for us. Maybe this was because he was getting all the beverages from the restaurant across the street? Kind of weird, don't know if that was typical for this place. We could have refused the first selection and kept him going back to get alternatives but it seemed more trouble than it was worth, plus he seemed somewhat offended when the table next to us rejected the first bottle he offered. Wine was also more expensive by about 35% there than most other restaurants we've been to in France (eur7-8 vs 4-6), and there was no option for a discounted set menu (e.g. entree+plat or entree+plat+dessert) so it ends up being a relatively expensive meal. I thought the main courses were delicious but the overall value for the money and the weirdness with the drinks make this a place we wouldn't come back to, especially with all the other restaurants available in the area. read more

You want to eat foie gras but don't feel like this is a good time to declare bankrupcy? Everything is made in house and very good value. Service was excellent and we were recommended a grenache-syrah that went swimmingly with what we ordered for the main course. 10/10 would indulge again read more

Great tasting food but there are issues that customers don't see. We sat inside and I witnessed them cutting and handling bread despite touching everything from money to notepads. Use a napkin! Also, more disturbing is that they reuse bread that is not finished by the customer. read more

I have been to the restaurant twice. Both times my food has been absolutely amazing. I love duck and here the duck breast is served with garlic potatoes and vegetables. The portions are the perfect size, not too big, not too small but just right. The staff is very friendly. They speak very good English, so if your French is lacking, don't be discouraged! I tried the apple tart, also amazing. There are many places to eat in Montemartre, but for the money and the quality, you cant beat this place. read more

Really Good Place, with fantastic french cuisine! Come and taste! In the centre of Paris!! read more

This restaurant quaintly is nestled on a slight hill on the Rue des Martyrs. The cuisine is traditional French. The specialties of the house were recommended and they were very good. I gave only three stars because the service was poor. The waiter misunderstood our order, thinking my husband and I wanted to share a dish when we actually both wanted the same thing. When he thought we were sharing a plate, the service turned chilly. He also appeared impatient on several occasions. I would still recommend it but be warned. This is the infamous French service you read about. read more

La Cave Gourmande - Foie Gras - Bistros Near Me - Paris, 75

Nice French cuisine restaurant by the Moulin Rouge. We sat outside on the sloped cobblestone sidewalk. This restaurant and the bar restaurant across the street are owned by the same person and work together but have different menus. The food here was A+ and exactly what we were looking for: ***foie gras with fig chutney and toast - foie gras was very rich and the trio of flavors was great together ***magret du canard (duck) with Szechuan pepper sauce - comes with delicious garlic herb potatoes and vegetables (green beans, carrots, broccoli). I've found French dinners to typically come with less vegetables than I like to eat so this restaurant served us a pleasant surprise ***beef bourguignon - comes simmering hot in a small pot with carrots, mushrooms potatoes and the creamiest mashed potatoes on the side. The beef stew sauce on the mashed potatoes = heaven. I went to Burgundy just before this trip and Le Cave Gourmande's version killed it! There is both an English and French menu and the excellent waiter was at least trilingual (heard her speak Italian too). Our meal, paired with wine, was perfect and left me feeling a few pounds heavier but definitely happier. read more

I'm not sure if my boyfriend and I went to the restaurant at a bad time (around 8 pm) or if we were just unlucky, but our experience at La Cave Gourmande was not the best. To start off with a good note, the escargot was unexpectedly delicious. We wanted to get some because we've never had it before, we were pleasantly surprised by how garlicky, smooth, and buttery they were, with just a tiny bit of chew. Five stars for the yummy snails. Now, my boyfriend had ordered the rack of lamb, and I got the rib-eye steak with a peppery sauce on the side (can't remember what it was called). After waiting about 30-40 minutes, our waiter came and told us that the rack of lamb was no longer available. I understand that it was a very busy night, but a 30+ minute wait only to realize that we have to wait ANOTHER 30+ just to get the food that we didn't really want in the first place?? Pretty annoying, considering we didn't have much time in France anyways. The beef stew he ended up ordering (after being told that his next choice of the filet mignon was also unavailable) was very good, as the reviews have described, but stew is not difficult to make. Having a good lamb chop made by a skilled chef would definitely have added much more to our trip. Moving on to the ribeye. I cut into it, and it was beautifully cooked to a medium. But then it took me MINUTES to chew through that one bite! It was incredibly sinewy and tough, and wasn't even seasoned. It was probably a very bad cut of steak, and I just got unlucky. But being a poor college student who spent 20 euro on a steak, I wasn't about to just leave it. So I finished most of it. And boy, did my jaws ache! I love food, one of the main reasons why I wanted to come to Paris, so having to eat this was very disappointing for me. Having read all of these reviews, I am sure the chef is very skilled and most of his dishes are exceptional. We probably just got unlucky. If I am ever to visit Paris again, I might be willing to give this restaurant another try. read more

Ate here our last night in Paris. Tuesday night and it was quite. The service was outstanding! Our server was MoMo, he went over and beyond, learning English and teaching us some French. He even stood outside, turned up the lights and took our picture. We had the Salmon for a starter, was light and very tasty. We then had the duck breast and beef bourganon. We loved the beef! We then had the fondant chocolat- yumm. Wish we had more time to come back. read more

Tres Bon, within a tourist area fantastic, authentic food, friendly hosts, nice atmosphere - absolutely nothing to complain! My favorite in Paris read more

Overpriced tourist scam. They come to your table and you give them your card then they tell you that there was a bad connection and suggest you go to the ATM. I suppose they figure you would not know that the charge did go through and you will now be paying twice. Fortunately for me I did not put a pin on this card and brought enough Euros. I told them I only had the card. He came back and ran my card again. Within a few minutes both charges came up on my cards app. I brought it to his attention but he pretended to be surprised. Said it was impossible. The food is mediocre and the business is dishonest. I would recomend staying away. read more

A wonderful little restaurant in Montmartre. The owner is friendly and attentive. There are not a lot of tables inside and hopefully the weather outside accommodates outdoor dining. Note: the beef bourguignon is a dish to be shared by at least 2 people. read more

My first meal in Paris and it was fantastic. It's a Shabby, slightly run down little hole in the wall place run by a jovial little man. The food was exactly what I was expecting for a meal in France. I have Escargot, Foie Gras with toast and jam, rack of lamb, and the house wine. All of it was great read more
