    Shrimp
    Mary N.

    Cute cafe that was very busy. Friendly service. The shrimp was very good. I ordered some bread to dip in the sauce. The onion soup was just okay, a bit too cheesy compared to how much broth there was. I would have preferred less cheese and more broth.

    We got worried when we saw all the bad reviews. But this place seems to be always crowded. We walked past this place a couple times on different days and saw that lots of people come here. So, we decided to go for it! Give it a chance. 10/10 for the snails (escargot) lol My fiancé ate these! I wouldn't dareee lol It looked so gross to me lol But he loved it. The snails were cooked in a buttery, pesto like sauce. 8/10 for the duck breast My fiancé was just eating all the animals on this day lol He said the duck breast was just okay. I think the snails stole the show! 9/10 vegan bowl I had the vegan bowl. Total opposite of my snail loving, duck eating fiancé lolol He says he eats a lot of meat, and since I don't- we balance each other out. Makes no sense lol but the vegan bowl had some good flavor! It was hearty and filling. I enjoyed it.

    Food was very delicious. I ordered Chicken, it co Es with homemade French fries on the side. It was super delicious. I enjoyed the chicken a lot. Staff were very nice. The inside ambience was great too.

    Bug in my steak sauce yuk!

    Terrible service made Café Buci (at the busy corner of Dauphine and Buci) a short 30-minute hiccup in an otherwise wonderful evening. We ended up just paying for our drinks and heading elsewhere for dinner after repeated attempts to order. My glass of Chardonnay was average while my wife's Mojito was sweet on syrup and light on rum. Neither was memorable enough to make us stay at Le Buci. So we didn't. Better restaurants with better service were nearby.

    This place rocked! My boyfriend and I split the croque monsier and the quiche and we loved each of them! Both items were super tasty, and the sides were great too! The fries were fresh, and the salad was refreshing and delicious. Our waitress was super friendly and the service was great. Definitely recommend this as a nice lunchtime spot!

    Didn't have the food there, but yesterday I had one of the most transformative moments in my whole life. It was the kind of first bite where you know that you are in love and in trouble at the same time. What I loved about this tart is also what I find that I love about Paris. It was delicate, sweet, and unapologetically good. All I remember as my eyes rolled back in my head is that...yes...this is the land of good carbs. I've found my people.

    I came in to the restaurant as a refugee since I was exposed to one of the heaviest rains I have ever seen in my life. Being already totally wet until jumping from taxi to restaurant takes out the pleasure a little bit but the hamburger with a French cheese helped to improve the mood. Both the meat and combination was really good. The staff was friendly and delivery time was reasonable. It is maybe not a restaurant which you want to visit if you have one night in the city but if you are around St Germain and looking for a casual place to eat, Le Buci wouldnt disappoint you.

    Great deal. 11€ for Croque Madame, Fries and Salad.  They do not use sourdough bread, but their staff rocks and it was hot/fresh

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!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

    I have mixed feelings about Bistro des Augustins. On the one hand, it provided me some of the most…read morecomforting and delicious food that I enjoyed in Paris. On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

    THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.

The fried fish went well with the tartar sauce. For the mains, we got the bavette frites with bearnaise sauce and steak tartare with frites.

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).

No real plans. Just walking. Cigarette smoke in the air, scooters passing narrow streets, old stone buildings glowing under soft afternoon light. Online, this place feels impossible to book. But show up 10-15 minutes before opening and suddenly you're seated like you knew the secret all along. Inside, the room hums. Tight tables. Warm walls. Loud enough to feel alive without becoming chaotic. Nobody rushing. Nobody flipping tables. Just the rhythm of Paris doing what it's always done. The menu is entirely in French which, honestly, makes the experience better. You stop ordering with certainty and start ordering with curiosity. My wife had the risotto d'épeautre aux St. Jacques. I ordered the Magret de Canard au Romarin. The duck was solid. A 3.5/5 kind of dish. Rich, savory, comforting after a long day walking through the city. But the risotto surprised me more. The scallops were delicate, the spelt added this earthy texture that made the dish feel substantial without ever becoming heavy. And then there's the mousse au chocolat. The famous one. Served from an oversized bowl with this almost excessive "all you can eat" energy that somehow still feels elegant instead of gimmicky. We only needed a few bites. Soft, luxurious, lightly bitter chocolate balanced perfectly against just enough sweetness. The kind of dessert that doesn't ask for attention. It quietly earns it.
