This was a fun discovery after our visit to the palace. We came in after the midday rush and were…read moreimmediately greeted by the owner. He cleaned up a booth for us and all the staff were very friendly. We enjoy the leisurely pace of French meals so keep that in mind if you're a speedy minded North American. Same if you want soda refills or ice-that's not a French thing. The food was excellent. Our group tried the chicken burger, a cheeseburger, 4-cheese tagliatella, and cappocia, all except the pasta came with fries. The fries were so delicious, and if you want a more French experience have them with house mayo instead of ketchup. We had grilled pate fois gras for a starter and that was interesting. Good but unique-it reminded me of French toast. We also tried three desserts: chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and the dessert of the day panacotta. The panacotta was my favorite of these but all were good. The hostess brought us complimentary macarons as well (so nice) and I will say my first taste of pistachio macaron will not be my last. Far exceeded any expectations! This is a spot I'd recommend you try.

We were very fortunate to find this wonderful French restaurant our final night in France. The…read moreowner lead us to a romantic little table, lit the candle and proceeded to charm us not only with personality but his recommendations for a light meal. I began with an entrée of a lobster ravioli which is indescribable in its flavor and complexity. My husband had fish soup which made him cross his eyes with happiness. He then had a monkfish Brochette that was not only beautiful but deliciously prepared. I saved room for profiteroles and I am a wise woman indeed! As we left the owner shouted "God bless America!" To which one of the French patrons replied "Dieu bénisse France!" We concur. If you're anywhere near Giverny to see Monet this is the perfect spot for a meal. It's only about an hour outside of Paris ( outside of rush hours) and a wonderful place if you want to get out of Paris for an evening's dinner.

Simply fantastic!…read more This was a preplanned business dinner so there were no menus. We had rented the entire space for ourselves. Note this is a bit challenging to find, its in the middle of a neighborhood surrounded by houses. You won't see or find it on a Main Street with other businesses. Parking is minimal but adequate for our group of over 20. Our wait staff was attentive, quick to serve, joyful in presenting and explaining dishes. Despite being a very large group everything was flawless and amazing. My wife indicated that in our 34 years of being wedded, in all our travels this was the absolute best meal she has ever had! And we have eaten at some great places. I would put it in my top 10 but I've travel a little more and been privileged to eat at some amazing places so it's hard to rank. Nevertheless it's up there. I've got a thing for A/C and cold water (everyone has their weirdness, these are a couple of mine). So take this from a person who is always too hot. But I did think the dinning room was hot as did others with us but were were all in business attire and they were experiencing a heat wave at the time. Oh, and they brought ice for my water when I asked for it.

He clearly explained our options and opened a bottle of Pinot Noir for us to enjoy meeting our preference for a light wine. We started our meal with Charcuterie and let the picture say it all! Thoughtfully presented to us leading to our sirloin and duck entree which was grilled to perfection and meeting our request for taste preference. We topped it off with a delicious dessert with crème which was French Toast delight. A cozy rustic wood themed spot perfectly matching the cuts of meat. However, best of all was Charles. He took such good care of us explaining every detail and he made us so happy and welcomed! To the chef... Nice work! We appreciate you and your craft as well. Muchas Gracias!

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.

I started off with an Expresso Martini which was very good and yes this is how it is spelled here and I like that because that is how I always pronounce it. With our drinks our waiter even brought us out fresh olives. Now I'm not the biggest fan but Ashley very much enjoyed it. There was a lot on the menu that I was interested in and they had a number of different cuts of beef but I had to go with the Whole Duck Breast which is also a French classic which I got cooked medium rare but I'm perfect sure that's how they suggest it which is the right way like they do with all their beef too. Ashley and I also split the French Onion Soup. I will say by Duck was very good. Tasty rich sauce with crispy duck skin cooked perfectly. Some of the best duck I have had in awhile. I will say the French Onion Soup though was a little bland. I just didn't have that rich beef broth I am used too. Beside that everything was very good and would for sure recommend going to Café Blanc for a nice menu which amazing French options.
