    Tuna - no
    Wendy B.

    Feels like more of a new American Cuisine spot? Food was overall acceptable, nothing too wow-ed. The interior is beautiful with amazing detail, great atmosphere. Appetizer all felt short- 1. Oyster: didnt tast fresh at all. 2. Salmon over Crispy Rice - clearly they dont know how to make both crispy rice nor salmon. 3. Bass Ceviche on Tostada with Avocado on top (?) - no words. 4. Tuna Crudo over salad (?) - no words. coming from Asia, the seafood appetizer was kinda like !@#$%^ sorry. Main- 5. Chicken - roasted with chili pepper spice, interesting, not bad but ended up little dry. 6. Salt Baked Bass - kinda like a show, pretty good with the sauce at the end. 7. Burger - one of the best thing lol. 8. Ravioli - I remember it was good. Sides- 9. Broccoli - love to have some greens during French meal. 10. Vanilla Bean Mashed Potato - to me this was the highlight of the meal, unique, fun, different, creative!

    Crispy salmon - could they not throw some damn parsley on the plate?

    This restaurant is totally overrated. The service was surly and there was absolutely no attention to detail or presentation. The food was relatively tasty but we had much more enjoyable meals at less expensive bistros and the servers at those places seemed happy to have us there. Their patisserie across the street has great pastries but I do not recommend this restaurant.

    This was the amazing tequila drink with its black salt rim on the right..

    The food was delicious and they had a tequila drink with a black salt rim that was so amazing we had to have a few each.. The ambiance was equal parts refined Parisian fine dining mixed with comfy family vibes. The hamachi crudo was light and delicate with a tangy sauce and was something I crave just thinking about.. Waiters here are attentive and give great recommendations and descriptions of their food.. Our first dinner was here the first day we landed in France and we couldn't have been more happy with our choice..

    wine!

    Cyril Lignac is a celebrity chef who managed to encompass all of what Paris has to offer: cooking, chocolate and pastry. He has managed to be a true entrepreneur, opening up a pastry and chocolate shop right across from his restaurant Le Chardenoux. Le Chardenoux is a food establishment that serves up traditional french cuisine with innovative and modern techniques. Their main focus is on seafood, but their desserts aren't too be missed! CRISPY GALETTE, CRAB, MADRAS CURRY, AVOCADO (25 EURO): This was absolutely scrumptious. Imagine a sophisticated tostada...revamped the French way. It seems the French know how to make it right and that they did. The avocado added a creaminess to the beautiful delicate crab. The base of the galette resembled a tostada, giving it the crunch that it needed. Everything was perfectly balanced. SQUID, CHORIZO, ESPELETE PEPPER (15 EURO): If you ever wanted to know how fresh squid could taste like, then this dish is it. The squid was perfectly cooked but the sauce that came with it was the highlight. It had a smoky, and spicy taste that when soaked with bread, was the best thing imaginable! LANGOUSTINES RAVIOLI, LIGHT BROTH, CABBAGE (25 EURO): This was one of my favorites!!! The pasta was so delicate and the langoustine was super tender. It's a must order if you love pasta as much as I do. HOMEMADE FRIES: How could you say no to fries? You just cant. It's a must. MONK FISH ROASTED, FRESH SOY, TANDOORI CREAM, SESAME (28 EURO): I don't usually like cooked fish because most of the time, restaurants over cook it...but not here! The fish was perfectly delicate, flaky, and soft. MASHED POTATOES: Um...can I say these are one of the most buttery mashed potatoes you'll ever have?! It's like Joel Robuchon potatoes so you must order it!! FRESH AND CANDIED CHERRIES, ORGEAT MILK GRANITA (12 EURO): If you like refreshing desserts that isn't too sweet for your palate, then this dessert is for you! It has enough sweetness to be classified as a dessert without all the cream heaviness. You almost feel like you're eating healthy! MY FAVORITE DISH: MILLE FEUILLE, VANILLA, PRALINE PECAN NUTS (12 EURO): OMG! I think I just died and gone to heaven! Look at this lusciousness! The mille feuille is one of the hardest desserts to make, and somehow, this place does it right! It's crispy and buttery and sweet and creamy. It basically has everything you ever wanted in a dessert. If you've never had one, you need to try this French traditional dessert. Trust me on this one! Overall, Le Chardenoux became one of my favorite restaurants in Paris. It is reasonably priced and the food is outstanding. The waiters speak English and are knowledgeable in both food and wine. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for the outdoor since it was lovely out, but keep in mind, people will still light up a cigarette. This was a little way out of central, but so worth the trek!

    Quality/Quantity - Thank you Google and Yelp. Another good find!…read moreGood food and service. Plus it was convenient and walkable from our hotel. Flank Steak - Craving steak again. If you are following, you know we did a "Field Trip" to Versailles. 86 degree weather with NO shade. I had to take two breaks, a wine break and a beer break, lol. Anyway, since I had a liquid lunch, I was hungry and craved steak. Cooked perfectly. I was worried that I was not going to finish, but I was still able to. Chicken Supreme - My wife's order which was (again) cooked perfectly. The chicken is so tender. I used the complimentary bread to soak up all the sauces from both dishes. And to wash all this down, I got a Domary IPA, Paris France, local beer. Ambiance - Good size. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service - 5 stars, the entire team was welcoming and accommodating. Price - 48 Euros, $56 US. I thought it was reasonably priced. Well the local beer was a little expensive, but I always try to support the locals. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

Ordered a nice carafe of house red while we waited for our food to arrive. Watched all the other diners orders come through and salivated over the look of them all. Barely a half a glass though our wine our burger s arrived with a nice green salad and excellent fries. The burger was done perfectly and tasted amazing. Enjoyed our meal and were out in less than an hour, enough time to catch our next train!

    How was flying out Charles de Gaulle Airport the next day and I just arrived from Frankfurt Germany…read moreby train when I looked up a French restaurant near the Gard du Nords train station and found BB. 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.

    First meal in Paris. Maybe because I didn't order the right item, I found this restaurant not wow…read more I got the "Made in Taiwan". It was ok. The portion size was huge but the flavor wasn't wow. 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. B had the pastrami sandwich.He liked it. Fries were ok. The decor isn't wow here. I found this place though google and Yelp.

The staff is fantastic, they give great service and will always help you make a decision on what to get! I had their chicken satay, a dish I favor in the states and they classed it up! Typically served on a skewer these were thin chicken breasts, covered in sauce served on a bed of rice. So good! My favorite dish there, may seem so basic, but their cesar salad. It blows any salad I have had in the US out of the water. Hard boiled eggs are in it, a large fresh chicken breast, and all the ingredients taste fresh. I've had their burgers, also fabulous and their hot chocolate! I have never left unsatisfied and will be my go-to place if I ever find myself in Paris again.

It was a really good experience. Warm welcomed by the two waiters (I suppose as well owners and brothers) and we got a nice table by the window. We decided to have brunch there, which is served not in buffet from but it will be brought to your table in a mixed plate. It contains scrambled eggs with your choice of bacon, chicken or salmon, grilled vegetable, salad, fruit salad, fresh plain yoghurt, row ham, hard cheese, goat cheese, pan cake, mini chocolate cake, madeleine, basket of fresh baguette, butter and homemade jam accompanied by a hot drink and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. All the products offered were really tasteful and of high quality. Everything seems to be homemade and with love. A nice surprise was the mini chocolate cake: still warm and with a soft chocolate cream inside. The homemade jam was delicious and with a lot of fruit pieces inside. Service friendly and attentive. The only critical point the size of the table: a little bit too small to contain all the food and drinks brought. Overall a really great experience. I deeply recommend to try.

Great small bites and an awesome selection of wines. Service was spectacular, too. Really loved the chill vibe! If we are back and in the 11th, I'm certain that we will stop back in!

    There seems to be some confusion in the reviews about which establishment this is; there are two…read morerestaurants helmed by female chefs in Paris, one named simply "Buvette" (by the American chef Jody Williams; there is also a NYC outpost of the same name) and one called "La Buvette" (this is the correct page for the restaurant operated by Camille Fourmont). While I love NYC's Buvette, La Buvette is an entirely different sort of restaurant and is my NUMBER ONE recommendation for friends visiting Paris who enjoy natural wine/small plates/a slightly chaotic atmosphere. I make sure to come here as many times as I can whenever I visit Paris, and I've even gone to a La Buvette pop-up in NYC when the chef came last year. I'm definitely a La Buvette groupie. A buvette is a restaurant that sells wine to go and to drink in situ, along with a selection of small plates. While I hate the ubiquity of the term 'tapas' to describe dishes that are not quite entree-sized, you can think of La Buvette's dishes as basically tapas: smaller portions meant to be ordered in multiple and shared over a bottle of wine. The wine selection here is tightly curated and I've never had a glass that I disagreed with -- everything is pretty simpatico if you're into this style of wine, and the staff are quite helpful in steering you toward bottles you might enjoy. In past visits, I've often found myself ordering over half the menu, which is written on a mirror-board on the wall and changes daily. Everything is quite simple, made with excellent ingredients, and quite good. Note: this is not a full-service kitchen, so don't expect an elaborate dinner. Think of this as an appreciation of simplicity and purity of flavor, and you'll have a much better time than if you expect a 10-hour cassoulet or something. Get some cheeses and charcuterie, and absolutely get the big white beans with citrus zest. Savor the flavors. While I'd love for this to remain a hidden gem, the secret has definitely gotten out, and it's not really much of a "neighborhood" establishment anymore. Expect a line unless you get there quite early, and note that you won't have any privacy because the space is tiny, and you may end up drinking your wine standing by a tiny corner of the counter. To me, that's part of the charm, and Camille Fourmont has created quite a remarkable place that I find simply perfect. It's a must-visit in Paris!
