The noodles were lacking. The noodle isn't the kind of noodle I liked. I found them too firm. Tofu seemed to be over cooked. On the brightside, the greens in the noodle were super fresh.

There is also ample outside seating for when the weather is warm. Our waitress was fantastic, and she even tried to help us out in English with the menu. I ended up ordering the chicken Caesar salad, and we shared the cheese tray. The meal came with baguettes, and the prices were incredibly reasonable. My food was delicious, and the chicken on the salad was cooked great. The cheese tray was good as well, and we enjoyed trying the three different styles offered. Overall, I would definitely eat lunch here again.

Pick some adjectives and go on a culinary ride! The dishes were both packed with flavor and beauty. The dynamism of flavor was off the charts. If you want to go and be surprised as you eat.

Girls, and clearly this woman! Love! I would highly recommend this spot. Make yourself a reservation. And holy hell, the bread and butter was otherworldly and the cheese platter will make you melt.

Small but comfortable thanks to red leather banquetes, a tiled floor beneath brass ceilings and walls full of art, it is from a paper ledger that reservations are confirmed prior to seating at wood tables that require being slid aside to gain access. A locals sort of place, though the menu does offer English translations, fans of Bistro fare will find all the staples complimented by daily specials while the Wine list runs long yet quite affordable. Well-suited to families, especially on Sundays when so few Parisian Restaurants are open all day, starters come in the form of Escargot or French Onion Soup plus sizable slabs of Foie Gras and the chunky sort of housemade Terrine one rarely encounters outside of France. Far more affordable than tourist favorites, its place in the 11th undoubtedly part of the reason, main plates see Confit Duck done well without any fuss while Pepper Steak and Sweetbreads in reduced Soy are generous in terms of portion and flavor. Not a spot to skip Dessert, all but Ice Cream made on site, Chez Paul's Baba is denser than Ducasse's but no less delicious while the Œufs à la neige and Tarte Tatin are each classics prepared the right way.

The dining rooms were themed to represent cities and regions in France. And they are exquisite from floor to ceiling. I was told to make sure I made a reservation about a month in advance. I did not, I wasn't sure of my timing through the station. But there's a way to still enjoy the beauty and eat. Le Train Bleu also offers a bar area. Here there are several small lounges with luxury interiors. It is possible to sit in one of these areas, but you may have to wait. My timing was perfect. A 5 minute wait. The cozy spot had gorgeous dark paneling and felt so warm on a December day. The service is impeccable no matter where you sit. The bar menu is quite toned down from the restaurant area. Lighter bites for travelers in between trains. I am a croque Monsieur addicted and wanted one last one before leaving Paris. The presentation was very different from the traditional ones at most bistros. This one was rolled tight and sliced into sections. Still delicious ham and Emmental goodness. A fresh salad was on the side. A bowl of mixed olives arrived shortly after being seated to nibble on while waiting on the meal. Next visit, I enjoy the main dining room!!!

The food was overpriced for what we received, both in quality and presentation. The service was the worst part of the experience. After being seated, we waited a long time before anyone came to help us. Once we ordered, everything moved incredibly slowly, despite the restaurant not being busy when we visited. To make matters worse, our server got our order wrong and then responded with an attitude instead of apologizing. Because we had already waited so long, we just accepted the mistake. Another server opened our champagne bottle and spilled about a glass when it burst. The head waiter said he would credit us for one drink, but when the bill arrived, nothing had been adjusted. Instead, he asked if we still wanted the spilled glass. After spending over two hours there for lunch, we were completely done with the experience. We did speak with the manager, who apologized and gave us 10% off, which we appreciated. What started as what we hoped would be a great lunch ended in disappointment. I won't be returning unless the service and food quality improve significantly.

It's a bit on the sweeter side, but is so flavorful and fresh. The Pho noodles are a lot thicker than I am normally used to, but I thought they absorbed the broth flavor very well.
