    Rigatoni Truffle
    Jackie K.

    They reopened with a new menu a couple days ago and it was great. All the food was perfect and the waiters were very friendly and helpful. Everything you could want in a dinner spot with a chill ambiance.

    Pasta of the day with ham and mushrooms.

    This restaurant was right across the street from our AirBnb. What a treat! The housemade pasta was divine. They had live music with an amazing harmonica player. We would definitely go back if we got the chance!

    We had a short window before our dinner cruise but we missed the lunch hour. We had aperitifs and appetizers that were to die for! So delicious!

    So good

    Ahh, my last dinner in Paris on my first trip there. It was really a nice experience. Seemed like a casual spot for locals to get dinner at. My criteria that night for choosing a restaurant (and often) was going to a packed place. Packed = good food. I was right. We started with a caprese salad type appetizer that was amazing. The bread was delicious too. I got a cheesy ravioli that was soooo heavy but also so amazing. My boyfriend had a burger and fries that was delicious. The service was good and I loved sitting outside. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and affordable meal in Paris.

    Paris, where women wear ill fitting pants everyone still smokes.

    The most difficult think about French cafes is the etiquette, do you seat yourself? YES .When do you pay? You wait as long as possible. Can you run a tab? Yes. Smile and say bonjour!

    We came here late at night, around 12:30am, very hungry and straight from the airport. When we got in then waiter kindle let us know that the kitchen had closed. However, the owner saw our two little girls and immediately said she would serve whatever they wanted to eat! We got penne al arrabbiata and quattro formaggi gnocchi and both were excellent. We got Bordeaux and a Campari aperitif to go with it which were delicious as well. Ended with panna cotta, tiramisu, and a coffee. Waiter was super attentive and the food was served very fast. Especially the pasta for our kids. When we were leaving, the girls walked up to the owner and said "Merci". She was so tickled! She gave them some lollies on their way out. Overall, great food and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

    The chicken

    Well we needed a quick meal and this place was close by, looked good....and it was good...simple menu, friendly staff...just as other reviewers say. Well worth the money €81 for 4 including a bottle of wine. Great sauce for the bolognese , carbonara was filling, ricotta and spinach ravioli was really good and roast chicken and mozzarella was fine too. Enjoy!

    Shrimp tagliatelle and Fusili
    Lynn C.

    So this place serves Italian, although one wouldn't have guessed from the ultra french restaurant name. The location is pretty good, right next to the St. Paul metro exit so a decent place to people watch. Service was pretty remarkable. We got one pasta each. My friend got a fusili in a red sauce with aubergine (eggplant) and i got the tiger shrimp tagliatelle. They did not skimp on the shrimp. My dish was okay. My friend's penne was really good because of the aubergine - it was grilled to perfection. If i ever happen to come back, or if you happen to eat here, get something that has eggplants and you won't regret it. I should probably also mentioned that i broke out in hives on my face shortly after eating the shrimps. This usually happens when the shrimp was not cooked from raw, but reheated from having been cooked the the night before ... Otherwise, this place is pretty satisfactory over all. An okay bistro, with okay food and prices (33 EUR for two pasta and two glasses of wine), in a decent location with good service. Can't complain.

    Accessibility (Parking / Wait Time) 1/1 Star: walked here. No wait to get a seat. _____ Service (Waiter / Cleanness / Ambiance) 1/1 Star: normal service. Bar ambiance. _____ Taste (0=Not Edible / 1=Edible / 2=Good (average) / 3=Must Try!) 0/3 Stars: steak is not edible... you need a chainsaw to cut it. Well ok not a chainsaw but at least a turkey carver, the electric sawing kind. The pasta also tasted like water. _____ Overall Experience 2/5 Stars _____ Last Words My wife got a risotto that was good.

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!

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

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.

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.
