    Tarte Tartin Chaude et sa Boule Vanille
    Patrick M.

    Had dessert on my first day in Paris. Wonderful restaurant. Had a very nice waiter. Great experience. Friendly and professional service. Pastry was great. Highly recommend

    Entrecote
    Vadim B.

    Touristy place with average food but a great view across the river. We dropped by La Fregate in August 2023 after a walking tour over Paris. It was clear it was purely touristy place, but the view was great and we tired and hungry. The menu had some classic French items and we went for it. The food turned out to be average but good enough and we enjoyed the view of Louvre and Tuileries across the river. Overall, the restaurant is ok to have a quick bite in the center of Paris but keep the food expectations moderate. Duck Breast under Raspberry Sauce - this one was good and tasty though quite tough. Raspberry sauce was great! Pizza with Goat Cheese and Honey - good. Nice combo of goat cheese and honey complimenting each other. Entrecote - this was the worst. It was hardly chewable and our 15y-old son ended up leaving the restaurant hungry :(

    Pizza de chorizo (pepperoni) & sausage (ham)
    Anabel G.

    The environment is very live immediately there is a lot of people seated everywhere - staff/service was nice & attentive. We tried the pizzas & they were both really delicious!!! We were not able to finish everything in one sitting so we took it to- go, cocktail was also good as well! One con was definitely the cleanliness especially of the restrooms, it was very dirty. Other than that we enjoyed the food & service was good.

    The view from the roadside terrace over the Seine
    Brian G.

    Nice little place to sit, chill and watch the world go by. Crepe Suzette good, cider too. Just to cool down and enjoy. Friendly service

    Quinn H.

    Wonderful location along the Seine, across from the louvre. I went for a late night bite with my mom, I had a pasta dish and she enjoyed the duck. Both were absolutely delicious, but let's focus on the duck. A fruity raspberry sauce paired with lemon mashed potato's complimented the duck beautifully. I would recommend and will be back!

    Pizza with chèvre, honey and walnuts
    Adrienne G.

    Amazing pizza selection & more than decent pie. Mr & I chose the chèvre, honey & walnuts. The chèvre was abundant as were the honey & walnuts. Filling & flavorful! Fun people watching, being on one of the main streets and the waitstaff was jovial and extremely nice Only downer was no French beers.....they offered the standards like Heineken or Guinness & we'd been hoping for something local Other than that, dine in or take out, we'll be back for sure

    Beef bourguignon
    Maren B.

    Excellent service, beautiful location on the Seine, and delicious hearty meal! My husband and I loved the beef bourguignon! My husband's lasagna was good, but he liked my dinner more. The meat was so tender it fell apart. The vegetables were all perfectly cooked. The sauce, mmm, so delicious! A really fantastic meal!

    Came here for lunch and really enjoyed the food. I really love frites, it was really crispy. Also had their Brie sandwich which was good.

    We stopped in for lunch after touring the musee d'Orsay. This place is ideally located... right across from the Louve. Great for people watching! Staff was pleasant. The waiter forgot that I asked for balsamic dressing on the side. The standard dressing was placed on my salad. Once notified, the salad was replaced very quickly. Each dish was delicious! Reasonably priced.

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!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

    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.

Vibey 30 somethings and those of us tourists that have begrudgingly figured it out. It is close quarters inside, but when in Rome. My bestie from middle school and I shared the escargot (bless you) pasta, which was delicious, and the duck, which was exceptional. We split a very fairly priced bottle of wine and ended the night with the scoop of mousse. If they could figure out how to do that intravenously, that'd be great. The mousse reminded me of a great guilty pleasure, which is eating straight out of the can of Duncan Hines chocolate frosting (ask me how I know, I do this often, going to rebrand it to me being European).

The menu features French classics and there are vegetarian options. To be honest, maybe I'm not the best to right this review because French food isn't my favorite - regardless, my main complaint is just that the food lacked the extra flavor I was hoping for but it was still solid. The Ravioli Dauphine was perfectly cheesy, just needed some extra salt. The Chickpea Fries and Warm Goat Cheese were nice starters, and I liked the bread basket that was given freely - especially the inclusion of a walnut raisin bread. NOW, the star of the show and the reason you're probably here: the Chocolate Mousse. Yes it is worth the hype. Only complaint - we had some leftover and they refused to box it for us.

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.
