    Roasted Chicken
    Nandu M.

    I don't know what it is, but I really loved this place. The service was very good. The location is just off of Boulevard Saint Michel. I ended up eating here twice in the same day. I had the Bordeaux and the Rhone wines (by the glass), which were both pretty good. For a starter, I had the French Onion soup, which was outstanding. It wasn't smothered in cheese like you find in the U.S. It had thick crusty pieces of bread in the soup. The Roasted Chicken was pretty good too. It's one leg of roasted chicken. You get chicken, fries, and a salad with that place. The Honey Pork Ribs were okay. The pork was kind of tough, and it had a layer of fat on the top, which was not great. But you can cut the fat off pretty easily. The potato au gratin served with pork, however, was amazing. All meals are served with an outstanding French bread rolls.

    Solid, quaint French bistro. Escargot were very tasty -- comes with a basket of baguette to dip in the buttery goodness. Mousse du chocolat was delicious, you could actually taste the chocolate! Americans, who would've thought!

    Very good food. It was a bit hot inside the restaurant so we had to move outside. The service was good. The French onion soup was pretty good. The entrecôte was amazing as was the raclette. The chocolate mousse dessert was out of this world!

    9/6/15: I believe that this restaurant, though very cozy and homey, was the weakest food-wise of all the traditional restaurants we visited here. It's not that it wasn't authentic, in fact, that's probably their biggest problem--the food tastes like it was made by your average home cook. That is to say, it was edible, but only eat here if you want to taste truly traditional food at the cost of enjoyment. It is probably significant that all the French item names were followed with English, which may or may not indicate something to you. 1. Pression 50cl 7.80 EUR: This was a French beer. Sorry I don't remember how it tasted. 2. San Pellegrino 50cl 3.10 EUR: Sparkling water. 3. Verre Merlot 5.00 EUR: Sorry, cannot remember how this tasted. 4. Escargots x6 7.00 EUR: So if you're gonna get this, I hope you have tried this at home in America cause the difference is HUGE, or more exactly, the opposite--TINY. Compared to the US versions that are typically 1.5" wide or so, these are about 2/3 the size from the exterior, but the flesh is MINUSCULE. You can barely clip the meat with that tiny snail spoon, just enough to drag the rest of the pea-sized meat out. One even was unreachable--I told the waiter there was no snail in one shell, and he brought out a toothpick!!!!! SERIOUSLY. Blew my mind that he did that. Anyway, it did work. Taste wasn't great either. Sooooo.... I dunno if this is typical of French snails, but you should totally avoid this if you've had it before elsewhere. 1/10. 5. Coq au Vin (rooster stew) 13.50 EUR: The famous French dish--"rooster" in wine. Whether they used a real rooster or just chicken, I cannot say. But it didn't look too pleasant--a dark greyish blackish color. And despite the dark color, didn't really have too much taste. If you gotta try it, try it but don't expect nothing great. 3/10. 6. La Raclette Grison (with smoked and dried beef) au Lait Cru 22.00 EUR: My French friend from home told me about this traditional dish, so I had to try it. Basically it's a little like fondue, except instead of dipping in cheese, you melt the plain cheese directly above, and it drips onto your food. This version is one of many on their menu, and is the most expensive. They give you a bowl of boiled small potatoes, some vegetables, lots of slices of really good cheese appropriate for this dish, and thinly-sliced cured meat. From the description it's smoked beef--but to give you and idea, it's like ultra-dry prosciutto that's somewhat less salty. There's quite a bit, so at least the materials are somewhat worth the price difference. Taste-wise though...... I dunno if it's cause of my American palate, but it's not really my thing. I don't quite get how the cheese (though super good) enhances the flavors of the various substrates. They don't really jive together. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that Europeans would appreciate this more. But I guess if you're American, you might agree with me. Still, nothing too fancy here, so I'll just say 5/10. 7. Aventuriere 9.50 EUR: Dessert crepe. They pour some REALLY strong and harsh liquor on there and light it on fire. The liquor is horrible--but I noticed that many places in France, even the fancy expensive places, use ultra-harsh brandies to accompany desserts, so maybe it's standard. I dunno. Nevertheless, the dish is cheap crap. This one is with peaches I think, but all of it was canned! Cannot believe they just put a bunch of diced canned peaches and cream inside a crepe and sold it for nearly 10 EUR. Wtf. Anyway, it tastes like crap and we didn't eat more than a few bites. 1/10. So, some commenters have noted they liked the interior and vibes. I guess I sorta can see that. It does feel kinda cozy. The server was quite weird though, and we never really felt comfortable. Just felt off here. Food wasn't good. Service was abnormally strange. I say go elsewhere. 2/5 #french #france

    Very good meal on a cold day. Started with The 3 cheese fondue--- perfect for 3 people. Lamb stew was so tender (and huge!). Beef stew my daughter had was perfectly seasoned. Loved the crepes. Ended with chocolate mousse. Ready for a nap!

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.

Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier.

    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 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.

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.
