Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5…read moreAmbiance: 3.5/5 I needed to have a charcuterie at least once in Paris and found this place while roaming in the city. They have few small tables out front. Charcuterie did come with good presentation like wood board or anything but it was a good portion. I didn't read the menu closely and ordered charcuterie as soon as saw it. I wanted to have some cheese with it. I should have ordered assiette royale which comes with both meat and cheese. I also ordered Andrea which comes with burrata. It was great with salad and lemon shavings but anchovies were pretty salty. I suggest to eat it with some kind of bread. Between that two orders, I was stuffed and couldn't even finish it. Honestly it was meant for 3 to 4 people. One of the employees speak English and she was very nice. Overall experience was great and good spot to hang out.

We sat outside at one of their small table on the street. It reminded me of eating street foods in Asia; except this is in Paris. Service was good but could be better if they can explain us what to order on their menu. I liked the Burrata which was creamy with tangy salad and anchovies. It was a great appetizer for us. Charcuterie came with a paper box in to-go or take-out style. It had variety of cured meat slices. Meats had good flavors, textures, tastes from salty to spicy and tangy from lemon slices. It was good to pair with Burrata. Recommend this place in Paris!

Can't Stand Greedy People. It was a lovely half-hearted…read moreeffort to show italian hospitality. The lady was sweet and informative. Two pizzas plus a small salad cost us €45. Overpriced if not opportunistic. She offered and served us Focaccia bread and charged €5 without telling us that she charges for bread. The salad was really small and set us back €10. Mineral water €6. Pizza was doughy and cheesy. Felt more like NY pizza than Sicilian. I make a better pizza at home. Overall it was a pleasant experience crossed out by the banality of human greed. Surprising set back for usually very warm and generous Italians. She refused to take off the "trap" Focaccia bread from our check after being confronted. If she did take it off we would have come back in the future and dealt with the rest of irregularities. We would recommend this place to friends. She could have made €40 again and again, yet decided to take €5 "now" in a true "make the money and run" opportunistic fashion. In hospitality business one should know better. This place will be gone by next Christmas. I do not recommend. Can't stand greedy people.

"A la Ville de Rodez" offers also to vacuum pack your purchases, so your favorite cheese or "charcuterie" will stay fresh until you get back home. Most of the sellers speak English which helps a lot.

Wow. This cheese and wine bar is amazing. A beautifully quaint and perfectly Paris neighborhood…read morespot. We stopped in on an evening and Formaticus had an easy vibe with its cozy space and dimly lit interior. We ordered a cheese and charcuterie board, my favorite was a soft rind brie that we, literally, just dug and dipped our bread into. Simple, delicious -- you can't go wrong with any of the cheeses you order. Great selection of wines and I also recommend the truffle honey (which can be purchased separately).

We were a group of 4, and we split the 16 cheese option, as well as the charcuterie plate. We loved everything!

This is a great option for a meal in Paris if you're just looking for something simple that is also delicious. Definitely a great find!

Sadly I missed the risqué Flappers and the Golden Age of Art Deco, but a hundred years later Paris nouveau is still drop dead gorgeous and the city of light! Zelda Fitzgerald hero worshipping aside, fabulous cafés are everywhere across Paris. One such café is Le Savio. A true Parisian café! If you've never been to Paris... it has hands down the best cafés in the world. Period. Yet, you'll also discover that many cafés open later in the mornings. So to avoid early morning disappointment plan ahead. Fortunately Le Savio was located just around the corner from my Bed & Breakfast in the Madeleine District. Le Savio can be described as a fancy coffee shop, as the decor dictates, and the baristas are more cultured (if that makes any sense lol). If you know, you know;). French spoken here but if versed in the basics of "bonjour", "croissant", and "café latté" you need not worry. I arrive at 7:00am, hoping to get a bite before my first showing at the Louvre. Parisians already fill the counter, from blue collar to those in haute couture. I manage to find a seat at the end. My senses immediately pick up the rich aroma of freshly brewed French coffee and I notice a fresh basket of croissants. Ahhh. I order my "chocolat croissant" and "café latté" s'il te plaît. I'm in Heaven... In the end, I recommend Le Savio for those looking for exquisite coffee. It's not your traditional café per se and I'm led to believe that it really picks up for the lunch menu. Perhaps. I don't know as I became a regular only in the early morning hours. Oh! si tu pouvais lire dans mon coeur, tu verrais la place où je t'ai mise! Ahh Paris...
