Go here for the best view more than the best food. The view of the Louvre and glass pyramid is really something and makes it a relaxing spot to people watch and enjoy when the weather is good. We had made a reservation well in advance for lunch, and I also spoke in French when checking in for our table. That may have made a difference as we were immediately taken to a great table with the ideal view without having to ask (whereas the people in front of us weren't offered a table with such a good view, even though they also did have a reservation.) The food was decent, not great, but well worth the experience to enjoy such a lovely view so convenient to the Louvre. read more

Le Cafe Marly is the perfect spot, especially when visiting and exploring the Louvre. Sit outside and enjoy the incredible views of the museum. The club sandwich is absolutely delicious and all the food was extremely fresh and delicious. The restaurant is huge but expect it to always be busy. While it takes awhile for your food, it's definitely worth the wait and should not be missed when traveling to Paris. read more

This is a really nice café to really just sit, enjoy some bakery and coffee while people watching in front of the louvre. We didn't have reservations in the morning, but we were able to grab a front seat. The waiter was nice and super accommodating as well. We ordered the croissant combo which came with a chocolate croissant. That was really good and very crispy. We enjoyed their coffee and my wife ordered an egg omelette and it was decent. Nothing special. Food was OK a bit expensive probably because it was inside of a tourist spot. I think we spent about $50 for just croissant, coffee and eggs which I thought was crazy. The four stars is mainly just for the view and the ambiance. read more

Romantic dim lighting atmosphere. Not a ton of food options. We did à la cart and got eggs, yogurt and an omelette. Eggs were not traditional American scrambled eggs. They were served in a bowl and oatmeal like consistency. The toast was great with butter and jam. Yogurt had granola, raspberries, blackberries and honey on it. Service was quick and location is great for visiting the louvre after. read more

Okay we're back and gave it another try. The hostess sat us right away with a view of the Louvre Pyramdi. We ordered an aperol spritz and cappuccino and they were perfect. Be aware some seating gets a lot of blinding sun on a sunny day so make them aware of your preference. read more

This is a MUST-go for lunch after a busy day at the Louvre. I was so excited I was able to get a reservation the day prior and was looking forward to it as I walked around the museum. The area is lovely and breathtaking. I asked if I could be seating with a view of the Louvre and got the perfect seat. They have a dairy alternative for a latte for those who are looking. I was so excited as someone who cannot have dairy. My waitress was very accommodating with my allergies and I got a delicious club sandwich, latte with dairy alternative, and a coke. I spent so long just relaxing, eating, and reading with a beautiful view. 10/10 would go again and suggest everyone do the same! read more

Location. Location ! We arrive to our timed ticket entry to the louvre early and decided to grab some lunch before heading in. Cafe Marley is conveniently located in front of the louvre and we were able to get seated immediately without reservations. You have the option of sitting upstairs in the beautiful long hallway or downstairs in their mini patio. Both have beautiful view of the louvre. The patio seating is a bit tight and small. The drinks were great. I did not love that our burgers weren't cooked all the way through. Also they don't serve French fries - only potato chips or mashed potatoes as sides. A great picture spot and place to grab a quick bite while in the louvre. read more

A nice spot on the grounds of Le Louvre to grab lunch before our visit to the museum. Great view, nice food. The only blight was the waiter looking for an American style tip, trying to take advantage of tourists. Reservations recommended. read more

Amazing location with views from the Patio of the Louvre is amazing!. Interior is classy looking as well. Service was great as well, I would have expected a little more French attitude but none detected. Only three stars as it is pricy. We only had an eclair for 18 euros and a bottle of still water 8 euros. The eclair was good but not 18 euro good!. Actually inside the Louvre there are so many nice alternatives, the only reason to eat here is before going in and for the view IMHO! read more

Amazing French experience. Food was excellent. Service was attentive and efficient. Enjoyed the evening.

What a lovely experience!! Frank was an excellent showcase on service!! Le Café Marly is a quintessential Parisian experience, perfectly positioned beneath the Louvre with breathtaking views of the glass pyramid. The atmosphere is effortlessly elegant, blending classic French charm with refined sophistication. Service is polished and attentive without being intrusive, and the menu delivers beautifully presented, flavorful dishes made with quality ingredients. Le Café Marly captures the romance, style, and timeless allure that define Paris at its very best. read more

Food was very overpriced and nothing special. Stones throw from so many restaurants that could make the same dish but better and for half the price. You're paying a ton for the location. But even then, they can't guarantee terrace location. And if that's not enough to deter you from coming here, I couldn't help but notice was how segregated the guests were that were seated near the window panes (with the best views of the pyramid) vs. near the wall with less ideal views. About 90% of the guests seated against the wall were Asian. One Asian couple even asked to be seated in the many open tables available next to the windows but were denied, saying they were "reserved." Only for them to be given to white/european looking guests. (When we made our reservation here, there was no place to indicate terrace window seating.) This happened over and over and over again throughout my meal to the point where it was hard to deny what was happening. Made me sick to my stomach. I hope I'm wrong about what I observed but I would never patronize this restaurant ever again. Mediocre overpriced food and terrible service. read more

Extremely expensive cafe in Paris. The view and photo op opportunity is stunning and deserving of a mention however it is up to whoever is paying if you want to splurge in a $50 light breakfast that is not filling. The service was pretty much non-existent. The host walks you to your seat and the waiter takes your order, brings it and that's about it. Since I've already been once, that is enough for me because there are a ton of cafes all over Paris that are much better and cheaper. Again, if you can afford it, totally do it but be forewarned, it isn't amazing but the view? Fantastic. read more

The reality is that this really is one of those places you come to solely for the views. The food itself is subpar. Not bad by any means, but not anything special, especially for the large price. We opted to sit inside, because it was cold, but that was a mistake. The inside was very beautiful and romantic, but it's the Louvre views that make this place what it is! If you're coming for the vibes, you won't be disappointed, but don't expect anything special for the food. read more

Views, views, views! Although I wasn't able to stay long and the weather was sucky, I enjoyed myself. The service was a bit slower than usual but they were kind and the food that I ordered was really good! I ordered the tartare de thon avocat, along with a cappuccino, chocolat. They also provided bread and butter. I really enjoyed the tartare and cappuccino! I wanted to try more items on the menu but again I was pressed for time. There's plenty of seating and I was able to find a spot outside that had a great view of the Louvre Museum. Perfect! I definitely can't wait to visit Paris again! There's so much to do and see! You must visit Le Cafe Marly too. read more

Their penne tastes like it came out of a primary school cafeteria. It's terrible. Their food is not good very unde seasoned. The view can sometimes be fine. But if you make reservations ahead of time they just stuff you in a corner. Do not waste your money here their food is awful and the place is over hyped because of location. read more

Visited this place after visiting the Louvre. It's literally next to it. Surrounded by history. Great ambience. We were seated quickly only to wait an uncomfortable amount of time for service. Asked another waiter if he knew who our server was and he gave a very rude response. It was off-putting. The food was ok. There was a cat walking through the restaurant. I didn't know how to feel about that. read more

If it's not freezing out sit outside and have a great view of the pyramid. It's a nice cafe to replenish your nourishment after walking The Louvre. A bit on the pricy end but it's a nice treat. The service is bustling but good and the atmosphere inside is warm and luxurious. The food is very good; offering light to heavier fare. read more

Exquisite restaurant right in the central square of the Louvre. Our family had a fabulous meal with a gorgeous view of the Louvre. My tuna tartare and my son's cheeseburger were remarkable. The service was exceptional as well. Highly recommend Cafe Marly. Also highly recommend making a reservation as it is quite popular and there will most likely be a wait to get in. read more

The views here are incredible ! Night and day are fantastic! The waiter Alonso hildalgo was super nice! The inside was old.. needs a revamp.. Food came out super fast. The outside is airy and lovely but the chairs also need a revamp. Apps range between $18-25.. $25 for an tomatoe salad as an example.. Entrees range between 30-50 euros... I had truffle ravioli for $42.. it had 5 ravioli... My parents had the sea bass and some liver something ; food was good but nothing amazing. Green beans and mushrooms was ok (more like a side) and mashed potatoes were lovely. I was dissapointed.. we got white wine and it was not even cold..... The waiter remembered it was moms birthday which was nice..! The desserts range from $17-28 which i found outrageous.. its $28 for fruit.... Cheesecake was nice and chocolate cake also. *if you are a vegetarian there were two entrees and an app i believe which is nice and rare ** dress is all over the place: some jeans/casual people and some evening gowns ** the music was totally off. At some point they were playing reggae.. i love reggae but come on folks this should be a classic or jazz kind of place read more

Le Café Marly is situated in the Louvre with a beautiful view of the outside pyramid should be seated in the terrace. The food is not inexpensive but was unexpectedly delicious. We had the grilled sea bass with lemon butter and the tom yam Chilean sea bass. Both of which were wonderful. Service was friendly and accommodating. Le Café Marly is worth a try even for its picturesque setting. Make sure to ask to be seated under an umbrella as the sun definitely gets to be hot. read more

I got the CROQUE-MONSIEUR and a natural lemonade. The CROQUE-MONSIEUR was very good. The bread was nicely made with the ham and cheese. The lemonade was something different.

This cafe is all about eating at The Louvre and if you sit outside, watching the people in the courtyard and staring at I M Pei's stunning Pyramid. We had Gazpacho which was very good. We also had a carrot ginger drink. He liked it. We had 2 Niçoise salads which were very good, even if mine was way overdressed. It was a relaxing lunch after touring The Louvre for hours. Take note: You have to exit the Louvre with no readmittance option to get to Cafe Marly. Our server was very friendly. read more

The experience of sitting here and dining overlooking the beautiful Louvre Museum is just stunning!! I started with a good cup of cappuccino and later had the entree "chicken breast, and curry sauce with mango chutney". The dish was nothing extraordinary and the chicken was a little overdone or dry as it was chewy. The mango chutney was good, though! The show-stopper item was their yummiest Pavlova!! It was just out of the world!! The service was disappointing as we had to wait for almost 40 minutes to get our food. However, we didn't mind sitting there as we had a gorgeous view of the Louvre Museum!! How often do you get that? read more

The views here are immaculate! Literally right in front of the Louvre! We sat outside instead of inside. Which the inside was just as beautiful! My friends and I ordered a round of drinks. Vueve Rose and got to toast as the sun went down! Which the sun didn't go down until almost 9pm. I ordered the tomato and burrata to start which was delicious. The tomatoes were fresh and the cheese was amazing. For my main I had the spicy tomato rigatoni which to my liking wasn't too spicy. I added a side of mashed potatoes which was so delicious and creamy and buttery. The highlight of my meal. Recommend ordering the mashed potatoes. A couple things were ordered incorrectly but our server was lovely. We had to wait but not too long. The time we waited was made up for in politeness and a good time! I even learned a few French phrases. The bathrooms were upstairs so I got to take a peek of the interior which is just as beautiful as I mentioned. I look forward to going back and getting dessert this time! read more

Worst service ever. We came here and ordered food am drinks after 1 hr of wait they tell us there is no food. They didn't apologize and still charged us for the drinks. They in fact blamed us for not asking for our food and said they were busy. Whereas they were not too busy to get eveyone else's food. We had a kid and he was crying coz there was no food. It's ridiculous, the manager and server both blamed us and did not take responsibility. I expected better, do not recommend this place. read more

I've seen this place pop up in so many movie scenes, it was basically on my Paris bucket list. So, naturally, I made a reservation and finally checked it off. The setting definitely lives up to the hype--iconic view and all. I had the steak, and it was solid--well-cooked, flavorful, but not exactly life-changing. The price? A bit steep, but considering the scenery, I'd say it's a fair trade. Just don't expect to be blown away by the food. It's more about the whole experience, and for that, it was totally worth it. read more

Ok, so did i love the food here? No. Did i love the view and the vibes? ABSOLUTELY! we were seated outside directly in front of the louvre. My advice would be to make a late dinner resy in order to see the louvre light up while you are enjoying a glass of wine. The food was just ok. I order the spicy pasta and it was anything but spicy and honestly still cold lol. But again, i went in with the expectation of subpar food with great views. If you dont wanna have subpar food id say eat before and come here to enjoy an appetizer and drinks and bask in the view. Also the perfect opportunity to get amazing night time photos in front of the louvre for my IG girlies! read more

I specifically went to this restaurant for their truffle pasta and I was a bit disappointed when I was informed they didn't have it at the time. I ordered something else and really enjoyed it. The waiter was also very friendly and upon learning that we spoke Spanish he was almost jumping with happiness that he could finally practice with us. To conclude, the best part of this restaurant is the view of the Louvre pyramids. read more

Beautiful location but served us warm champagne. If you want a picture perfect setting at the Louvre this is it.

Water is super expensive $8 for a bottle, same price as a Coca Cola. Not advertised as such either. Service not good. They also don't hand you the machine to add your own tip so awkwardly they ask you a percent to add in. Food was decent, expensive but expected with location. read more

This place was amazing and Jamal was icing on the top. We are visiting from the United States and the food was so amazing along with their craft cocktails. I can't understand why they would get anything less than a 5/5. Jamal's service was on point and we never waited for anything to go empty. The ambience of being right next to the Louvre just put it over the top. We will definitely return the next time we visit France. read more

To dine at Cafe Marly, you are really here for the view of the Louvre and not for the food. By the way, only two-person tables on the terrace have direct views of the Louvre; all other tables have no view. We ordered several entrees to share. The appetizers that stood out were the Salade Nicoise and Melon Culatello. For entrees, couple of us got the steak or filet, neither were the best (1 star off for each). One colleague got the salmon and thought it was mediocre as well (1 star off). We didn't see anything interesting on the dessert menu, so we skipped it. This is a pretty touristy place, so don't expect the food to be spectacular. After dinner, we enjoyed walking around the brightly lit Louvre -- it was beautiful. It's a shame that most of the tables did not have this view. read more

The restaurant has a beautiful view and it had great potential but food is very subpar and the service is not so great. Our waiter was impatient and didn't even serve us bread which seems minimal but for the meal you're paying for you'd want everything there is to offer from the restaurant. And beware to hold your breath in the bathroom there's so much perfume you're pretty much swallowing it. Nice location again for looks but you're paying for only that not good service or food that's out of this world. Tries to front as fine dining but really is disappointing. read more
