What a beautiful spot for dinner. The restaurant is in a wonderful location with outdoor seating and a lovely park directly across the street. We ended up sitting near the park and really enjoyed the atmosphere. I had a Cobb salad, which was very good, and the setting made the meal even more enjoyable. It was one of those places where you could easily relax and spend extra time taking in the surroundings. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Between the great location, pleasant outdoor setting, and excellent service, this was a memorable dining experience. read more

Tucked away in a square, but still strangely close to Notre Dame, this restaurant may actually be a tourist trap. However, it's quaint, has good service, and the food is solid enough that you don't feel like you're getting overcharged due to proximity to one of the city's largest attractions. There really isn't seating inside, rather just tables on the sidewalk and an area within the square. However, on a sunny day, this is an ideal setting for a lunch with some French classics. read more

My husband ordered the Steak Frittes and he said they were good, not horrible. I had the Croquette de Rose. It was not what I expected but it was ok. Lots of bread with ham and an egg on top with cheese and truffle. It came with a side salad. My child said his burger was good. I tried their fries and they were nice and crunchy.. read more

We love this square - right in the middle of Paris on the Ile de la Cite and hardly anybody there. The restaurant is right there with a south facing terrace. Four nice mains out in the sun in early March (salmon, beef tartare and a salad) and we were very pleased. read more

On my way to the Notre Dame we found this beautiful hole in the wall. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day. The service was quick, The servers were funny and spoke very little English but that made the experience unforgettable. Food was perfect. We stopped for a quick bite and had an amazing lunch. All the bread and pasta freshly made and cooked to perfection. It was the perfect place to sit and eat all day long and not have to or want to leave. read more

Lovely time at this restaurant in Place Dauphine, a peaceful square apart from the bustle of Paris. Waiter Alexandre was helpful and charming. My salmon was delicious as was my grand Garnier crepes. read more

La Rose de France - Lovely dining experience - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Great place to spend New Years Eve in Paris! Intimate restaurant with a great staff. Small but good attention to detail. Make a reservation for New Years Eve. We had a 9:30 reservation and were finished in time to walk out onto Ponte Neuf and ring in the New Year Watching fireworks down the river at the Arch de Triumphe. The food was good. Escargot, Scallops, Beef steak were all delicious. The foie gras could have been better. Loved dessert. We would recommend this for New Years Eve in Paris! read more

The environment and food was amazing. The duck was one of the best we had in France. Our waiter Alex, was so helpful and patience with us. Gave us some perfect wine recommendations. It was a wonderful dinner. Thank you Alex! read more

Stopped for lunch at La Rose, after a morning at the Catacombes. It was a great choice. Everyone at our table were happy with their choices. I decided to go basic, and ordered a cheeseburger with fries. Cooked perfect, and very good. Also had a glass of their house Cotes du Rhone, which may have been the best glass of wine I had during our Paris visit. Service was also great, with a helpful staff who spoke English. Always a plus. read more

Nice wait staff. Great environment sitting out front on a nice day for lunch. Food was good, but nothing to write home about. Salade de Chevre chaud was heavy on the goat cheese, light on the honey. Bread was meh. Mustard in dressing had a high dose of horseradish or something similar. Quiche Lorraine was good, but same issue with dressing. Might return for the quiche. read more

The food was delicious. However it's a tourist trap. They nickel and dime you for everything they asked if we wanted whipped cream the charged us 3€ for it. Other than that the service was good. The decoration is pretty nice and the mood is cozy. If you are looking to spend the extra money this place is perfect. read more

La Rose de France is a small restaurant at the Place Dauphine worth exploring on our first day in Paris. There is space for approximately 50 patrons, including the space under the outside awning. Service was friendly, the food was expertly crafted and the prices were appropriate. read more

Our lunch at La Rose de France was absolutely amazing. The food was a little pricey, but worth every last delicious bite! La Rose de France is located on the Île de la Cité in Paris (the little historic island). The restaurant is only a five minute walk fro the Saint Chapelle Church so we decided to have lunch here before we visited the church. This is one of the meals I had planned on splurging on. I was a little nervous that the service might be snooty since we don't speak French, but our waitress was the complete opposite - so nice and genuinely friendly! Even though the menu was in English and French she made an effort to point out all of her favorite items on the menu. We started off our meal with a bottle of Cabernet wine and the mi-cuit of foie gras with mango chutney. This appetizer was "eyes-roll-in-the-back-of-my-head" good!!! I could have ate just this duck pate and toasted baguette as my lunch... it was just that good! My husband ordered a plate of assorted cheeses, my sister order the duck special of the day and I ordered the La Dauphine salad. The La Dauphine salad was the best salad I have ever eaten. It was a simple arugula and endive salad with olives, Parmesan, prosciutto, and a baguette with tapenade. I stole bites off of my husband's and sister's plates and everything was so divine, so French, and so perfect! If you are looking for the perfect French meal look no further! read more

If you're looking for a lovely small restaurant with great service and great food in a fantastic setting, This is one of those rare finds that you thank your lucky stars for. From the friendly, warm greeting and an amuse Bouche of perfectly prepared salmon tartare, gently resting stop with a light cream base followed delicately seared scallops on a bed of lentils with a complex, well developed broth that just begged to be sopped up with some of the best bread I've had in Paris. I loved the dessert, crunchy bottom layer, smooth chocolate, then another tier of dark chocolate that held a vanilla cream, topped with another tier of dark chocolate. All the best quality, smooth as silk. So, I liked it so much, I asked about the young chef who I got a few glimpses of, Alexandre, who no doubt will be winning awards in the future. This was so delicious, I came back a few days later, ordered all new dishes and they were just as great. read more

As mentioned by others, Dauphine Place is a nice plaza tucked in on the end of L'ile de la Cite. Great to sit out and enjoy the relatively quiet area on a busy Sunday in Paris. We had salmon dishes and a chicken dish with mushrooms and excellent sauce. Service was OK and they accommodated a 6pm dinner when most other restaurants are closed between 3pm and 7:30pm. Food is pricey! read more

Have eaten several petit dejeuners here (the l'anglais version with omelette mixte) and it's just lovely. The service is friendly, patient with pidgin French-speakers, and just attentive enough; the food is divine. The atmosphere in the mornings has been quiet, with familiar jazz (Fitzgerald, Torme, Armstrong) tinkling through the sound system and table both in and outside are comfortable. Can't say enough how nice it was to have a friendly, reliable place to have breakfast and it's on the divine Île de la Cité which is a little slice of heaven, in my opinion. The view from the cafe is of the Place de Dauphine, a perfectly French, manicured and lovely open park. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend La Rose de France--and I hope I'll be back there soon. read more

So pleasant, quiet, tucked away from the fray. Nice wines well priced and friendly service. Perfect place to transition afternoon into evening. As Buffett said: Warm summer breezes and French wines and cheeses, kept my ambition at bay... read more

This used to be a gem; it must have changed hands over the past few years because nothing was good when we visited a few weeks ago. It was an unmitigated disaster. As other reviewers have pointed out, our server also claimed that service was not included in the bill. This is against the law in France, and simply a lie. I had the marrow to start, which was unadorned but well-prepared. I followed this with the beef tartare special, which was easily the worst tartare I've had. Unadorned, unsalted, and with tons of sharp, fresh parsley. I ordered a pricey St. Emilion wine (€16). It was not poured at the table and I am certain I was served a different wine and charged the higher price. This used to be a good place; now it's owned by someone who hopes to rip off tourists. Avoid at all costs. read more

This is my favourite recommendation to people visiting Paris for a lunch spot whilst walking the Louvre, Ile de la Cite and Notre Dame. The Place Dauphine is a quiet 14th century square with a few restaurants and this one is the pick of the bunch. Especially because it's terrace is in the sunshine at lunchtime! The menu is reasonably priced with all you need for lunch including the gigantic and delicious salads. A good french wine to go with that and you are set for a good restorative long lunch between all the sightseeing. read more

We had read good things about La Rose on TripAdvisor prior to our vacation, so we added it to our list of places we should check out in Paris. I'm glad we did, as it became one of our favorite places to visit! We had two meals at La Rose, and also stopped in after a busy day of sightseeing for a couple of glasses of wine. Each time, we were lucky enough to sit outside, and we soaked up the quiet atmosphere of the Ile de la Cite. La Rose is located in a more residential area, and doesn't get a lot of traffic from tourists or vehicles, which is really nice. You feel tucked away in a more intimate setting, where only those "in the know" (or who read review sites) know where to venture. The patrons seemed to be a good mix of locals and tourists. The servers at La Rose de France are friendly, and all of the ones we came into contact with not only spoke English (some spoke a bit more than others), but were also very patient with our attempts at French. So, the wine list was good (they had an excellent Beaujolais), but the star here (aside from the atmosphere) is the food. They offer a specially priced lunch or dinner menu where you can get a mix of items (ie: a starter, main, and coffee, a main, dessert and coffee, a starter, main, dessert, and coffee) for a set price, which is a pretty good deal. Both times we ate here I started with the escargot, which are to DIE for. Seriously, they're so good, and the wine/butter/garlic/herb sauce they're cooked in is divine with the baguette they provide for dipping purposes. Even if you don't think you like escargot, I suggest you try it here. You might be surprised. I also had the salad with warm goat cheese, apples, and pine nuts. Again, it was awesome. I had been craving veggies, and that salad took care of all of my needs. My husband started each meal with the traditional plate, which was a big hit with him, and he especially liked the ham. For dinner, he had the duck, which he absolutely loved, and had the special of the day for lunch, which I believe was a lamb dish. He liked his lunch well enough, but somewhat regretted not getting the rump steak after seeing it delivered to another table. Honestly, though, I don't think you could really go wrong with much of the menu. We did split a dessert once, which was the tarte tatin of the day (apple), and it was also tasty, even though we were pretty full. The coffee (espresso) is served with a little chocolate chip cookie, which is a nice way to finish the meal. La Rose is fairly small, so you'll want to arrive early or make a reservation for dinner, but you'll be glad that you did. It's a wonderful place to have a good French meal in a lovely setting. read more

Although the service was fast and the place was clean and very nice customer service, I did not fall in love with my food. I ordered the escargot which had no taste and I didn't taste butter but more of a parsley cream so I had to add a TON of salt which required me to drink lots of water which filled me up. The shrimp risotto was not bad but also a little bland. I had to add salt to that fish as well. My partner got the fish soup which I must say was actually pretty good. Very delicate very smooth and creamy but not heavy at all and very light. Although the food looked beautiful sadly it didn't taste as it looked. read more

We had an experience similar to JK. The owner/server was so downright rude when we entered that we left immediately. She behaved like the restaurant is doing customers a favour by taking their business rather than the other way around. It's a shame because the menu looked lovely and we really fancied eating there. However, I cannot bring myself to pay money to businesses with such a low regard for the customer. I would much rather support a friendly, deserving business elsewhere. read more

Lovely location in a quiet Parisian square. We just left, after enjoying a good meal. There were two waiters serving today, a younger person who was genuinely friendly and attentive, and an older person who was simply out to scam tourists. After asking where we came from, he requested a tip and said "it was not included", although the menu clearly stated otherwise in accordance with French law! We mentioned that it seemed unusual and gave a small tip because we didn't want to be rude. Who knows? Maybe he was truly strapped for cash! Beware of this place! read more

So, while in Paris for a few days prior to a conference in London, I mostly ate at pay at the counter places, mostly cause I was alone, and was very self conscience about my ability to speak french. At cafe, you can basically get away with pointing at something in case the person doesn't speak english. Since I did want to have at least one sit down meal, I decided on lunch at La Rose de France which is near Notre Dame. Just to make sure I wasn't embarrassed, I made a reservation online. I had practiced the phrase "I have a reservation" many times and was feeling confident. I showed up after hours touring Notre Dame and much of Île de la Cité. I entered the restaurant and approached the hostess repeating my phrase. She stared at me and asked me to repeat myself, so I did, twice. She looked puzzled and I started to panic! Did she not understand my french? She asked me a few more questions in french and I struggled to answer them. After a few attempts, she switched to english. Her confusion was not one of misunderstanding what I was saying, but why on earth I would make a reservation for one person. I guess this doesn't happen, like ever. After the initial awkwardness, she explained there was no reservation for me, but they would bump me up to next on the list. There is some lovely outdoor seating here and I asked if I could sit outside. She said it would take much longer, but I said I was willing to wait. I sat on a little bench in the square and she had one of the waiters bring me a complimentary glass of house red wine. It was lovely. After awhile I was finally seated outside and my waiter came by and ordered in broken french. He again switched to english. Although everyone around me seemed to be eating the Nicoise salad, which did look amazing, I didn't want my one sit down meal to be a salad. I ordered the duck confit, which was a special for the day as well as dauphinoise potatoes. It was a little heavy for lunch, but it was amazing. I think I also got the french onion soup. I ended up taking half of my meal home. This is a great place for people watching. It in is in a somewhat secluded square with a few other restaurants. Although I imagine many tourists were there, most of the tables around me were french speaking. The food was solid, the staff were kind to me, and it is in a beautiful location. What more can you ask for?! read more

Although the food and service at La Rose de France was good, our recent experience there last week was very upsetting. My husband, my daughter who is fluent in French, and her husband (and baby) and myself ordered four "fixed price" meals. As soon as we sat down at the table, my daughter requested in French "ordinary tap water" from the female Maitre 'D. During the meal, we requested three more bottles of tap water. When the bill arrived, we were shocked. There was a charge of $30 for the water, and 2 of the 4 meals were charged "a la carte" prices instead of "fixed price" which inflated the bill another few euros. When my daughter questioned the charge for water, even before she had a chance to point out the difference between the "fixed price" and "a la carte" prices, the waitress returned with the Maitre 'D who refused to drop the water charge. She insisted the restaurant did not provide "regular" water, only bottled water for a price although WE WERE NEVER TOLD THIS. Furthermore, it is very suspicious since we have never encountered such a practice in any restaurant in Paris before. The discussion in French between my daughter and the manager became increasingly heated. Our daughter, in an aside to us, explained that we were being taken advantage of because we were foreigners, and having worked in Paris for nine wonderful summers, she was especially outraged. Finally, she told me to put away my credit card and left the exact amount of euros for the bill, minus the charge for the water. (By this time, she choose to ignore the inflated price of the two meals since it amounted to roughly $7.00.) As we arose from the table, the manager came running over and she and my daughter resumed their argument over the water charge. Finally my daughter insisted that the manager call the police but the manager refused. (Maybe because it would be immediately obvious that the bill was inflated over the "fixed price" menu as well as or because tourists had previously complained about unfair prices.) At this point, the manager swore at my daughter, threatening to shove a bottle of water up her rear end! The purpose of this review? Skip this restaurant if you want to avoid a nasty confrontation if your bill is inflated...as it very well could be. read more

Escargot here is AMAZING. My 8 year old loved it. I think it has more to do with the marinate, but it doesn't matter. Ordered beef with the sauce for the veal. Great combo!!! Pumpkin soup has a blue type of cheese in it, not the best for my husband. Loved my biquette salad. Huge! Fabulous. The french fries are home made and great. The Chablis complimented the salad well. read more

A big disappointment after reading the reviews here on yelp. Appetizers were ok, but tasteless. Their reconstructed french onion soup, for example, looked very nice, but had no flavor. The main plates were even worse. I had their pork, my lady had their cod. Both had no flavor whatsoever. We each tried to add salt and pepper in a vain attempt to get some flavor in the dishes. In addition, the pork might have been the toughest I've ever had. Neither of us bothered to finish our plates. While we ate, a number of the staff sat near us and smoked cigarettes. Mmmm, that really added to our enjoyment of the meal. Not. A really big disappointment. The desserts were the best part of the meal. Summary: great location, terrible food. read more

I am a diner with multiple food allergies (gluten, dairy, soy, nuts & more) & speak only a little French. My waiter here was a hero and the food fantastic! Not only was I able to discuss my order in English, I was served a delicious dinner that was safe for me. He also used the Heimlich maneuver to save a 9 yr old boy dining next to me. He took all of this in stride while he served many tables this evening. Thank you, Tarek! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. Unthinkably rude!!! We stopped by, mid afternoon hoping to have some warm drinks as it was chilly. We sat down under the heater outside while my 11-year-old son went inside to use the restroom. The server came out, looked at us, and rudely asked if we were planning on eating. (They were not busy.) When we said no, just drinks, she grunted at us and told us to leave. (Guess what? We might have ordered something if she had not been so awful!) Meanwhile, my son was inside using the restroom and was taking longer than usual. We stood outside wondering if he was okay. From the window, we could see the server talking to another woman, perhaps the manager or owner. My other son tried to enter the restaurant to see if his brother was okay but he was not permitted to enter at all. We were getting worried. A little while later, my son came out of the restaurant in tears. He told us that the manager woman was banging on the restroom door yelling at him to "get out." When he finally stepped out, she MADE HIM CLEAN THE TOILET with the door open, in front of the restaurant patrons. Total humiliation! To the horrible staff at this restaurant, may your toilets forever overflow with smells so disgusting that no one will ever want to dine at your pathetic little excuse of a restaurant. read more

We had an unpleasant experience at the restaurant yesterday. The worst part: The woman I assume was the owner was sometimes friendly and sometimes very rude. She turned mimicked and made fun of a mentally ill man behind his back, which shocked me. It was unnecessary. She mocked him and then laughed. Our food was mediocre, at best. The shrimp risotto was advertised to come with "crispy legumes." Those turned out to be approximately six raw sprouts. The shrimp was fine but I expected some crispy beans to augment the meal, as advertised. My husband had the plat du jour, which was supposed to be a fresh tuna steak. Two hours later, he got sick, which fortunately lasted only about four hours. This used to be a favorite restaurant of ours but we hadn't been back to Paris since the new owners took over. We paid 77 euros and it was not worth it. Several people stopped, looked at the menu, and passed by. I wish we had as well, but wanted to try out the food under the new owners. It was disappointing. It was over-priced and not delicious. We will never return. I'm sad our past memories of loving the food can no longer be realized. read more

A Good place to have a typical french meal at the Ile de la Cite. Make sure that you seat outside. Skip it if you have to be seated inside.

The service was terrible and the food was not good. For the main prawn dish I got 5 small shrimp for 22 euro. Service is bad. Waiters are rude. Food quality is poor. Pick anywhere else! Avoid! read more

Delicious! We noticed the restaurant walking back from Notre Dame, and saw people sitting at the sidewalk tables enjoying their day. We decided to stay once we browsed their menu. Their fixed price menu should not be passed up. A 3 course meal (appetizer, main dish, dessert) for 38 euro, or 2 course for 29 at lunch. I had the escargot for appetizer and it was incredible. Perfectly seasoned in a garlic herb butter sauce. Definitely the best I've ever had. I had the shrimp risotto which was out of this world; my husband had lamb with polenta which was also wonderful. He had a cake for dessert which had alternating merengue and passionfruit; I had the creme brulee. All was fantastic. The service here is quick, friendly, and speaks English. Inside is beautiful, clean, adorable but we ate outside to enjoy the day. Highly recommend it! read more
