    I'm visiting Paris but this was one of the best places I ate at I had the bacon burger which came with fries and they where both so good the burger was savory and the bacon made it sweet the service was good and the place was nice

    I stopped by this cute bistro for some coffee and dessert. It has outside and inside seating just across the bridge from Notre Dame. There happened to be a street performer playing french music nearby with his accordion which was a nice touch. I ordered a Cafe Americano and Creme Brulee. The coffee was as you would expect and was about 3 Euros. The Creme Brulee was excellent. It was about 7 Euros which wasn't bad considering a lot of other restaurants in Paris charge close to 12 Euros. The only downside is there is only one bathroom for both men and women and ironically there was a line.

    My husband and I came here out of desperation. Having already walked all around Paris and then to two other restaurants we wanted to have dinner at (both were closed), we opted to sit outside at La Chaumiere because we were tired and hungry. I'm usually skeptical of restaurants that have pretty views on a tourist street (I'm more of a finding a hidden gem type of girl), so I had pretty low expectations here. My hubbie and I are vegetarians so we tried the ravioli app (which was actually pretty decent) and the awful penne with watered down sauce. One of the best things about traveling for me is trying delicious food in a new city. I would skip this and try for a place with better food which may not have a beautiful view of the bridge.

    Upon arrival to Paris, while staying on Isle St.Louis, this restaurant was one of four on the corner before the next island where the Notre Dame cathedral is located. We chose this one and decided to sit outside. There were many people coming and going so it made for great people watching. The service was great despite the large tourist crowd. It was, however, a Friday night so we expected crowds. We ordered off the prix fix menu and the food came pretty quickly. With a glass of wine in hand, we were able to really enjoy our meal. I had the escargot, which came with 12, and the salmon and for dessert creme brûlée. Everything was delicious and all for only €18.50 which included tax and tip already. It was a steal! My friend had the french onion soup, goat cheese salad and crepe Suzzette. The crepe was with orange creme and was just ok (we both prefer Nutella). While eating, a bumble bee decided it would join us and we couldn't get it to leave us alone. The wait staff came out to help. Pretty soon we had three of them surrounding our table while we watched from a distance. One guy tried to grab it with his bare hand! In the end they gladly moved us under their awning, but still outside. We had a great experience despite the bee, but thanks to the staff for helping us!

    This restaurant was average. Nothing too lavish! The view is great! We chose this place because of their advertised mussels on the board! It came in a huge pot, good enough for two people, but can definitely be eaten by one!

    We didn't dine here but we came in for a quick drink while strolling the neighborhood. There are three other cafes all within meters of each other but we chose this one because it was cute, less crowded and had a sign for Vin chaud for €6,50. We walked in to the enclosed outdoor patio and was greeted by an upbeat and friendly French waiter. We asked if we can sit in the outdoor patio area just for drinks because apparently you have to option to be seated indoors in a nicer area if you want to order food. Even though it was a chilly day, the enclosed patio has heaters running to keep the patrons nice and warm. The patio is a perfect spot for people watching! Not all waiters here speak English, we had 1 that helped us who did not speak English and had to grab another to help translate. But they were all very friendly and helpful. The beau and I ordered the vin chaud (hot wine) which is made with fruit and cinnamon. Basically like a warm sangria which is perfect for a cold day! It was sooooooo good I wanted to order another! The menu items were all decently priced here. Perhaps it's just the lunch menu...but it's certainly not 3€€€ signs like it is listed here.

    Recommend? YES! Atmosphere is folksy, friendly, welcoming, romantic. Lovely French atmosphere and makes you feel apart of the people. I ordered Cheese Ravioli, Beef Stew, Chocolate Cake for 18.50 euros. I'm expecting cheesy goodness, beefy feelings, and chocolate envelopment. UPDATE: The cheese ravioli is soft and rich in cheese. Not hot, not cold--right in the middle where the tongue can savor all the cheese. The beef stew is juicy and flavorful--the meat is tender, the potatoes are soft, and together they smoothly satisfy the stomach. The chocolate cake is superb. Perfectly rich and the right size to leave one feeling full and content at the meal's end. Service is attentive, quick. I came here 11/25/2017, around 07:30 PM.

    Lunch here was my first and only course meal my three days in Paris, so I don't have anything to compare it with, but I thought it was awesome. €18 for little (goat?) cheese raviolis in a nice buttery sauce, roasted salmon with delicious mashed potatoes and some sort of whipped carrots, served on spinach - it was flavorful and well-presented; dessert was delicieux creme brûlée. My husband was too full for dessert after his beautiful French onion soup and potato bacon gratin, and they let him take an apple tart to go. I could see that the waiter was annoyed at some other tables with tourist couples who took too long to order, even though it wasn't busy at all. We ourselves were really smiley though, and I guess weren't expecting much from the service; rather were just happy to have some really good food. I can see how maybe if it were crowded and you really took your time ordering if you might get some attitude. Maybe the waiters need free drinks or more breaks while they're working or a meditation course or something, to calm them down. Also, we asked for une carafe d'eau, but it wasn't very cold and the bottle looked dirty...Just a small point, but easy enough to improve upon. Anyway, we liked it! Merci beaucoup!

    We had an excellent three course dinner here of lovely French dishes with an incredible server who was fun and friendly! I already don't remember her name so adding her picture. Great enclosed patio. Very reasonably priced!

    Great menu, impeccable service, and an overall enjoyable experience! From then French onion soup to the beef, and chocolate cake...everything was on point!

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.

The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.
