    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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 food was the worst we had in Paris. Greasy salmon, green beans from a can, and even the crepes were cold and tasteless. Avoid.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. 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.

Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

    THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.

    Friday lunch was an absolute beauty…read more The food? Fantastic. The wait times? Let's just say we're in Paris, not a Formula 1 pit lane. We'll leave it at that. We headed to Chez Janou, a Paris institution. I hadn't been in years, but my son insisted we go back because, according to him, they have the best chocolate mousse in Paris. Judging by the lineup, half the city; and every tourist with an Instagram account showed up. Thankfully we had a 2pm reso. Here's the thing, though. Everyone talks about the mousse, but the food deserves just as much attention. I'd also forgotten how much I love the 3rd arrondissement. Wander a few minutes from the restaurant and you'll find beautiful art galleries, a gorgeous little park, and some of the best boutique shopping in Paris. It's one of those neighbourhoods where you accidentally walk 15,000 steps without realizing it. Now, here's your game plan. Start with the escargots or the gambas to share. For your main, order the farci provençal or the foie de veau. The farci is like a French version of a stuffed pepper: yummy comfort food with a southern coast twist. As for the foie de veau... I actually ordered it by mistake. I thought I was getting regular veal. Out came veal liver. Best mistake of the day. I love liver. My mom makes an incredible liver and onions, so I'm a tough judge. This was outstanding. Rich, buttery, perfectly cooked and perfectly salted. It was so good I immediately texted my mom and told her she's coming here the next time she's in Paris. Drum roll, please... The chocolate mousse. Was it worth all the hype? Yep. There are no fancy swirls or little artistic desserts here. A server simply walks over carrying what looks like a white industrial-sized bowl of chocolate mousse and casually drops a mountain of it onto your plate. Everyone grabs a spoon and starts digging in. It's wonderfully French. Simple. Unpretentious. Ridiculously good. So yes, Chez Janou lives up to the hype. But don't just come for the mousse. Come for the lunch, stay for the neighbourhood, and spend the afternoon getting happily lost in one of the best corners of Paris. That's a Friday well spent.

    We did not have a good visit to Chez Fernand. From start to finish, our waiter was terribly…read moreunpleasant and incredibly rude to us, for no reason. We have gone into every place being polite and kind and were met with such hostility. He got even more snippy and rude when we declined to have wine or dessert, when we tried to ask any questions about the menu, even walking away from us while we were in the middle of speaking or asking a question. When he brought us food or drinks he nearly dropped it on the table and quickly sped off. Some other servers seemed nice to other guests, so maybe we got one on a bad day but still we felt really upset and uncomfortable with how we were treated, there is no reason for anyone in the service industry to be so rude especially when we were being so polite. You also get blocked into your seat, and are very close to other guests which is fine but you have to call the waiter to pull your table back out to get up or to go to your seat- to which they begrudgingly do so. The beef bourguignon was tasty, but we did not like how both my and my friend's order were brought in the same pot. This resulted in us having maybe 3 tiny potatoes each and not near as much meat as we hoped for. We were expecting to each have our own dish. This was certainly not worth the 36€ per person price point (nearly $80 USD for the one pot of food), and we left the restaurant still hungry and extremely upset and disappointed by the service. Overall I would not return or recommend.

We sat in the back (not the very back), but the front area looks very cozy --mostly reserved for French speakers, it appeared. We ate here twice in one week. Once on our own, and once with friends visiting Paris the same week as us. Two VERY different experiences. The first experience was lovely, friendly, and absolutely delicious. 4.5 stars. Simple classic French cuisine. We shared the mini raviolis stuffed with mushroom and a foie gras sauce. Wow. And shared their famous beef bourguignon. The tender beef, the sauce! I love the way they plate it too. Delicious. And a bottle of Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil (Loire Valley). The second visit (3 star) was very different from the first visit. Less friendly, borderline rude, took a long while for table service even though it was not busy, rolled their eyes about us sharing and at our wine bottle selection. We didn't feel welcomed. Food remains good, but not outstanding. Roll of the dice on service. I'd say if you're in the area and you don't have to wait it'd be worthwhile, otherwise seek a less touristy spot.
