    We had a good experience here, the food was just ok. We are still getting accustomed to French Cuisine which could be part of it. The filet was very hard to cut and in an au gratin sauce - it tasted good, just hard to cut.

    We had an incredible evening at Le Bistrot d'Henri! Everything was phenomenal. The restaurant is a quaint, cozy bistro with very limited seating, encourage making a reservation in advance. It's definitely a little more off the beaten path- but enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. The dishes were excellent, I wish we tried more items!

    Bone marrow
    Maggie L.

    Haven't been here in about 10 years, but is as excellent as remembered. Gracious host who was kind with our minimal French. This is a small local charming bistro with only about 30 seats. Crab soup was delicious, steak, tartare, more than abundant. And roasted bone marrow as rich as you would imagine.

    Chateubriand and dauphine potatoes

    My husband and I discovered Bistrot Henri on our first trip to Paris together 5 years ago. We loved it so much that we visited it twice on that trip. We were excited to return recently, and thrilled to find that the food was just as good as we remember. The dishes are French classics that include beef bourginone, chateubriand, dauphine potatoes, etc. The menu is filled with French comfort food, and they offer specials as well. On our visit the other night, we ordered bone marrow with toast, chateubriand with green peppercorn sauce, flank steak with onions, and a cheese plate. All were delicious and the mains were served with the best potatoes I have ever had in my life. We paired it with a nice rose', and couldn't have been happier with our meal. Best of all, we got a table outside where we were completely comfortable. We hope to return again in the not-too-distant future!!!

    Three of us randomly found this place on Google maps looking for a decently rated French restaurant. It turned out to be a great choice. It's a small place on a quiet side street with only inside seating. At two in the afternoon on Sunday it was nearly empty and seating was easy. They have an English menu full of good options. We ordered marrow bone for appetizers and duck breast, slow cooked lamb and bourguignion stew with a bottle of house red wine. All were excellent. Together with three espressos it all came to 110 euros.

    Bone Marrow and Escargot

    Incredible food at a great price. We ordered the bone marrow, escargot, and the beef bourginuon. Everything was amazing, especially the beef bourginuon. Service was fast and attentive, though we were the only people in the restaurant so that could vary. The vibe was great and the ambiance was relaxing and lovely.

    Salad

    This place was recommended to me by a friend. We visited for dinner on a Thursday. It's pretty small and started to get crowded after we sat down. I ordered the steak tartare, and we also ordered the lamb chops, roasted duck, and sea bass, and shared a salad. Everything was pretty good and seemed pretty affordable for the portion sizes. Service did seem a little weird, we got English menus but they brought over a chalkboard with the specials written in French (I can speak French, but it was written so lightly and kind of rubbed off that it was difficult to read), but they seem to bring chalkboards over to every table regardless of whether they can read French or not. Also interestingly saw a table accidentally given English menus when they needed French, so just ask if you need a different menu or translation of the specials.

    Very nice restaurant with a menu in English. Lamb shank (7 hr) was quite good. The arugula salad was yummy. The house wines we're good.

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.

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.

We headed to Chez Janou, a Paris institution. I hadn't been in years, but my son insisted we go back because, according to him, they have the best chocolate mousse in Paris. Judging by the lineup, half the city; and every tourist with an Instagram account showed up. Thankfully we had a 2pm reso. Here's the thing, though. Everyone talks about the mousse, but the food deserves just as much attention. I'd also forgotten how much I love the 3rd arrondissement. Wander a few minutes from the restaurant and you'll find beautiful art galleries, a gorgeous little park, and some of the best boutique shopping in Paris. It's one of those neighbourhoods where you accidentally walk 15,000 steps without realizing it. Now, here's your game plan. Start with the escargots or the gambas to share. For your main, order the farci provençal or the foie de veau. The farci is like a French version of a stuffed pepper: yummy comfort food with a southern coast twist. As for the foie de veau... I actually ordered it by mistake. I thought I was getting regular veal. Out came veal liver. Best mistake of the day. I love liver. My mom makes an incredible liver and onions, so I'm a tough judge. This was outstanding. Rich, buttery, perfectly cooked and perfectly salted. It was so good I immediately texted my mom and told her she's coming here the next time she's in Paris. Drum roll, please... The chocolate mousse. Was it worth all the hype? Yep. There are no fancy swirls or little artistic desserts here. A server simply walks over carrying what looks like a white industrial-sized bowl of chocolate mousse and casually drops a mountain of it onto your plate. Everyone grabs a spoon and starts digging in. It's wonderfully French. Simple. Unpretentious. Ridiculously good. So yes, Chez Janou lives up to the hype. But don't just come for the mousse. Come for the lunch, stay for the neighbourhood, and spend the afternoon getting happily lost in one of the best corners of Paris. That's a Friday well spent.

We have gone into every place being polite and kind and were met with such hostility. He got even more snippy and rude when we declined to have wine or dessert, when we tried to ask any questions about the menu, even walking away from us while we were in the middle of speaking or asking a question. When he brought us food or drinks he nearly dropped it on the table and quickly sped off. Some other servers seemed nice to other guests, so maybe we got one on a bad day but still we felt really upset and uncomfortable with how we were treated, there is no reason for anyone in the service industry to be so rude especially when we were being so polite. You also get blocked into your seat, and are very close to other guests which is fine but you have to call the waiter to pull your table back out to get up or to go to your seat- to which they begrudgingly do so. The beef bourguignon was tasty, but we did not like how both my and my friend's order were brought in the same pot. This resulted in us having maybe 3 tiny potatoes each and not near as much meat as we hoped for. We were expecting to each have our own dish. This was certainly not worth the 36€ per person price point (nearly $80 USD for the one pot of food), and we left the restaurant still hungry and extremely upset and disappointed by the service. Overall I would not return or recommend.
