    Convenience cafeteria. Located on the 6th floor in Galleries Lafayette. I was in Paris for the weekend and arrived in this area around 11:00am. I was waiting for my husband to arrive here, but he said he wasn't hungry, so I looked for a place to have quick lunch. My friend, who visited here before, suggested this café, so I came here. I browsed the menu and food, and everything looked so good. I wanted to have a healthy meal, so I decided to get a salad. They have pizza station, grilled food, soup, prepared food, breads, and desserts. A salad bar was fairly good. Boiled egg and cheese are at extra cost. This is a cafeteria. Grab what you want and proceed the check out. It's very clean and plenty of seating. View from the seat is great. The portions are generous, and the prices are good. The prices are listed and found easily. I will come back here if I want to have a quick and healthy meal.

    Brasserie Bellanger - Couldn't decide between the Bernaise sauce or garlic herb butter so got both!

    How was flying out Charles de Gaulle Airport the next day and I just arrived from Frankfurt Germany…read moreby train when I looked up a French restaurant near the Gard du Nords train station and found BB. 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. Cheers!

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.

Making a reservation isn't hard but you do need to email them and there's no online booking system. You also have to confirm again 1-2 days before. I understand they are small with a limited number of tables so that's fair and it seemed like everyone showed up even though they don't require a deposit. On a Friday night, it didn't appear there was much chance or walking in although there were like 2 open seats at what would have been a shared table. The menu is small and includes some typical French starters, steaks, 3 non steak entrees, cheeses, and dessert. All steaks come with potatoes, 3 sauces, salad. Service was a highlight. The waiter was personable and funny, had solid recommendations, and made sure leftovers were taken home. Also had a solid wine recommendation after asking some questions. They probably get a lot of people who don't speak French and they had no problem speaking English. The food- ordered a ribeye medium rare. The steak was so so charred on the outside and it almost ruined the whole thing. I really wish they would have charred it way less especially when it was ordered medium rare. There is seared and then there is burnt; this was sadly the latter. The steak itself was fine, honestly nowhere near the best meat I have had but the price is quite reasonable for how much you get. I would say the steak was maybe 6/10 for me, largely due to the cooking. The fries were phenomenal. Definitely a highlight and really tasty and with a great texture. Salad was good, pretty typical. I wanted to like the sauces more but found them just okay. The best by far for me was the blue cheese sauce but even this one I thought the flavors could have popped a little more. Atmosphere was fun, there were a few bigger groups (6-8 which is the biggest they accommodate) but it never got unreasonably loud. Overall I wanted to love it but was a bit disappointed even though the service and fries were both great.

    My wife and I came here after hiking around Montmartre and saw all the great reviews for this…read morerestaurant here and on other sites. We were so looking forward to the frog legs, onion soup and other delicacies pictured. We got there and the sign was just as it was with the same name -- Au Pied du Sacre Coeur. We should've noticed something was wrong when no one was inside. When the waiter (lone person working along with cook) gave us the menu, my wife and I stared at each other completely confused. The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup. He looked confused and just said no. Out of respect for him, we just ordered the charcuterie, which featured stale bread and a few slices of meat taken from my local grocery store in the U.S. Also -- they claimed to not accept any international credit cards. WHAT HAPPENED? Are all these reviews fake? Most likely, they underwent new ownership right when we visited. But new visitors -- please beware. Do not trust any of the reviews before mine. If I was mistaken, please post photos and just tell me that I was part of some elaborate joke to ruin a lunch for me and my wife.

That's not acceptable. The food, however, was. Hence my difficulty in giving one rating. Our 3 dishes tried were indeed solid. Generous servings of seafood in the bouillabaisse, and I have no qualms whatsoever with my cuise de grenouille and foie gras salads. Bread kept us alive. The free Cote du Rhône glass was appreciated for check-in! Our server had his head permanently at a 30 degree angle, staring at his mobile. Tis a shame. But he was friendly ( oh, and easy on the eyes). I liked the quiet location out of the chaotic fray, like up the street, with all its smoking and volume. PS This is lover's type of location. Even the dark end of the small street feels illicit!

That meant that the sauce for the beef had congealed, yet even congealed, it was tasty. My companion's meal looked better than mine. She had the duck and ate the entire thing. I was very jealous of the mound of green beans that she got. She cleaned her plate. Like I said, I think I ordered the wrong thing. At the beginning of the meal, they offered potato chips, which I thought an offbrand. They weren't even lays. I think if you're going to offer potato chips, they should be either homemade or a namebrand chip. The atmosphere was nice definitely old-school. The surface was excellent. And the servers were exceptionally nice. The servers were the best part of the entire experience.

I had the raw salmon with salad and bread. Yummy. Entrees we had roast chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy - good, although my husband thought the mashed were a tad watery. I had the flank steak and frites, which were more like broasted potatoes than frites. Steak a bit too well done for me as I'm a MR. But it was so thin that hard to cook to MR. The inside seating is relaxing and a pleasant temperature. They also have outdoor seating in front in the triangle of the road.
