    Made our way to Le Carrousel after walking around the courtyard and entrance of the Louvre. It was too late to go in so we enjoyed all the spaces around the museum. Le Carrousel was so much fun. We sat outside like everywhere else in Paris. Service was impeccable. The staff, including management, made sure all our needs were met. We only had a few drinks and a charcuterie/cheese board, but were treated like we ordered a five course meal. The drinks and food were outstanding! Well done Le Carrousel!

    So pretty! This was a great spot to enjoy a French lunch.

    This was a cute restaurant near the Louvre. Our server was so helpful. We ordered in French, but he also understood us in English. Overall, a great place to eat!

    Very disappointing experience - unacceptable customer service AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!! I visited this coffee shop in Paris a few months ago with a group of 5 adults and 3 children. We had strollers and were hoping to sit outside. There was a large empty table available, so my brother-in-law politely asked a server if we could sit there. Instead of welcoming us, this server looked him up and down and immediately asked, "Are you going to eat?" My brother-in-law replied that yes, we planned to order coffee drinks, pastries, and possibly food. The server then told us we could not sit outside if we were only having drinks -- even though most of the other customers outside were clearly just having drinks. We were told to go inside, but once inside, another server said it would actually be better for us to sit outside because we had strollers. When we explained what had just happened, he finally allowed us to sit inside. I asked our server if I could speak to a manager about the first server's behavior. I was told I would have to wait at least an hour. Then, the server went to speak to the other employee. I could clearly see them talking, and the first server said, "elle va se faire foutre" (which means "F her"). When he noticed me looking, he suddenly approached me and asked what was wrong, acting as if nothing had happened. The entire situation felt discriminatory and judgmental, as if we were prejudged for how we looked or assumed we wouldn't tip. This was by far the worst customer service experience we had during our time in Paris. That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable, and no customer should be treated this way. He should be fired!!

    5 Stars for this wonderful restaurant. A very special recognition to Rami our waiter. He made the entire evening fun and enjoyable. To the owner of this business, Rami is a jewel ...not only is he going out to the Rue de Rivoli to attract diners , he is helping other staff members and entertaining the guests. He was terrific We dined on a cold dreary Thursday night, we crossed the street from the Christmas market. Rami welcomed us seated us and then spoke of his recommendations. The food was very good I had the chicken dish and wife and daughter had the steak frites. Great affordable wine list and a very nice selection of deserts Le Carrousel is a great place to dine

    LOVED IT. Our waiter Swan was a great guy and took care of us while we dined. Really loved the food and candle lit dinner here. Would come back 100%

    Ask for the server named Swan - he was delightful and speaks 4 languages. We came here for dinner closer to 7 pm and got to choose our own seat inside which was by candlelight and the ambiance was calm and sweet. I purchased a detox juice called "think twice" which I can't recommend enough along with the wok de poluet a la Thai - melt in your mouth and served in a skillet. Ah-mazing chef's kiss! For dinner, I ordered the hot chocolate with whip cream which was the cherry on top. Stop here if you're in the area. Cute as a bug! Thank you for the excellent service!

    LOVED!! this place was so cute and welcoming! I loved everything, the food the coffee and the chocolate croissants were amazing! I definitely would recommend this place and I will be back the next time I'm in Paris!!

    Best hot chocolate in Paris. With such great views on the patio and quick service! I ordered escargot and it was so yummy.

    Kurtis J.

    Note the name as it sits directly in front of The Roue de Paris. Escargot, beer, charcuterie right front of this view as well as a bustling street view is hard to beat. The food was not over the top but it was great and paired with a view a such, five. Oh, and popcorn too!

    Onion soup

    After a long day museum hopping, this was exactly what we wanted. Great, fast service. Delicious food, and definitely a must if you're in the area. Highly recommend the onion soup (French onion soup), and the escargots, some of the best I've ever had

    Croissant and coffee before the day's sightseeing.
    Norm K.

    I had time before our bus departed from the Paris City Tour office nearby so I came here for a quick breakfast of coffee and croissant. The coffee was good--not watered down as many did for coffee other than espresso. The croissant was good and the jam served with it was fine. I did get a second cup of coffee. There is no refill policy here. It was a charge the same as the original. The server was waiting when I came upstairs from the bathroom. I don't know if he thought I'd skipped out without paying the correct amount. I gave him the extra and it was service compris. The charge is fitting for the area in which this restaurant is located. The attitude was not.

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.

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.

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.
