You know how the stereotype is that people in France are rude and condescending especially toward…read moreAmericans? Based on our recent trip to Paris and to this this restaurant in particular, I would say my experience couldn't be further from the truth. We were greeted warmly (even if you can't speak French be polite and start off with Bon Jour! when you enter any business), the staff helped us to order, and frequently checked up on us to make sure we were doing well. At one point, one of the employees noticed we had a bag of pastries we had picked up on the way and offered to keep them cool in their refrigerator. As for the food, it was fantastic. I'm really picky when it comes to burgers (it's one of my favorite food groups) but these were outstanding and easily better than most I've ever had in the States. Unfortunately, a return visit would be pretty difficult but I wanted others to know how much we enjoyed our visit. Thanks to all the wonderful employees at Big Ferdinand for a memorable visit!

The best burgers (or I should say Hamburgés) in the world. Better than in the US (who would have…read morethought so?? Lol) They are uber tasty. Their fries are heaven. Perfectly cut and cooked. And their ketchup... You'll never want to have Heinz again. It is unctuous and you can actually taste tomatoes. Big pluses: -They have a VERY yummy vegetarian portobello burger. Approved by non vegetarians too! -Their staff is very friendly, funny and welcoming. And fast too. -Nice seating indoor and outdoor - With parking for handicapped in front of the restaurant! Small minus: - No vegan options (yet?) - Prices are a bit high (count 16 euros for a sandwich with fries and drink) but so worth it once in a while. - Wish they had some membership rewards to offset that a little. So glad I have big Fernand nearby.

The service was very friendly for France - overly so, I would say - and I say that in all good humor. In France we don't expect a lot of smiley and attentive service so tourists who visit here may get false expectations for the rest of their trip :-) I had the lamb, a friend had the burger, and his wife had the tartare. Everyone was satisfied and if I am in that part of town again I have a go-to spot.

Angelina, Paris, France -- April 12…read more Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 stopped here for lunch after visiting the Louvre, drawn in by its reputation for having the best hot chocolate in the world. We were looking for a place to relax and refuel, and the experience felt a bit mixed overall. Arrival and First Impressions The space is elegant with classic Parisian charm. The line moved quickly, and we were seated with a great view of the dining room. It felt refined but still comfortable. The Highlights The famous hot chocolate lived up to expectations, thick, rich, and almost more like a dessert than a drink. We also had French onion soup and an éclair, both of which were very good. The pastries were clearly well made and thoughtfully prepared. The kids had chicken tenders, which they enjoyed, even though the tomato sauce was a bit different from what they expected. The Challenges The biggest drawback was the price. The meal felt expensive for what we ordered, coming in at €154 for a fairly simple lunch. Service felt slightly rushed as they moved tables along quickly. Final Thoughts We would likely return if we were nearby and specifically craving the hot chocolate again. It is a classic Paris stop and worth trying once, but the value may not justify going out of your way unless that signature experience is high on your list.

So Angelina's fine. For me, it's a bit hyped up. My sister, loved it. She even bought their…read moreprepackaged bottle of hot chocolate to take home. This hot chocolate is decadent. It really tastes like melted chocolate with a bit of milk mixed in to make it more drinkable. We went at a bit of an off time, late morning and it wasn't overly busy. We saw our server once and I couldn't recall who he was when it came time to get the bill. I asked a hostess walking by for our check and she told me to ask our server while walking away. We were able to flag another server down eventually but the whole process just took too long. The tables for four have chairs that don't quite tuck in causing for a bit awkward seating. If you like really thick hot chocolate, give it a try but otherwise ok to miss this one. Plenty of good hot chocolate throughout the city.
