    Foie Gras
    Wendy B.

    It might be the most acceptable tourist spot ever. Thought I was ordering actual pan fried foie gras though not the canned form.

    This was a treat, a short distance from the jardin du Luxembourg. And possibly Paris's best fries!! The servers were nice, and there is WiFi you can connect to. The music and vibes are fun and lively. There's this fun charming youthful and coziness. True to it's name translated to "sweetheart". You'll find giant teddy bears guardians, hosts and as company.

    Le Choupinet is French for sweetie or cutie a term of endearment. This restaurant is popular with IG selfie takers who pose with some of the giant size stuffed animal Teddy bear. By the looks of the condition of those teddy bears, I would not touch them, after everyone else has :( Like most restaurants it was busy, but we just wanted to sit for a while to rest from all the walking and decided to just have a little something as we had dinner plans later. Alas, a yogurt parfait mousse and espresso martinis...both Trés Bon! While in Paris in the busy St Michel area, it's nice to pause and sip a drink and do people watching with or without the cute teddy bear Le Choupinet, a fun casual café restaurant. Recommend

    We had lunch here and had a lovely salmon and avocado tartar accompanied by a nice rosé! The food was very fresh. We also had Crème brûlée and another dessert both of which were lovely. The service was excellent.

    Artichoke

    The food and service were excellent. We at outdoors at a cute table. The artichoke was amazing, as was the lentil salad. Also enjoyed poireaux vinaigrette and filet daurade was well prepared.

    Stumbled upon this spot after leaving Jardin du Luxembourg and checking out it's fantastic playground. Such a great spot to come to with a hungry family. It's insta-worthy, unique feature of sitting giant bears at your table kept my kids excited and entertained. Our server was great and understanding that we have to feed my youngest daughter her own food due to her food allergies. He recommended the French onion soup which is one of my favorites so I had to try it! My husband got a burger and fries, my oldest daughter got a side salad and fries, and my mom got the goat cheese salad, which I had an opportunity to taste and it was delicious. I wasn't in love with the spinach ravioli because it was heavy on the spinach filling, but the french onion soup totally made up for it. As an appetizer my table split the escargot which I don't care for, but my oldest daughter tried for the first time and liked! Super cute spot! I bet it's pretty popular during the weekends and summer season given it's trendy, fun ambiance, great service, and good food.

    Yummy food, beautiful decor, friendly staff who also spoke English. The menu had English and French. You can people watch ofnseated near window. Within walking distance from Select Hotel.

    Steak a Cheval
    Hannah T.

    The escargots were super good. Very big and would definitely recommend. I don't know if maybe it's because the appetizer was so good that the entree fell flat. We went for lunch and got the croque choupinette and the steak a Cheval. The croque madame was lacking flavor. I also didn't know that the steak a cheval was basically a hamburger patty topped with an egg. It completely lacked salt. The fries were good though. The bears sharing the tables because of COVID were absolutely adorable.

    Cafe Latte
    Linda F.

    I give this cafe a 4 because of its location and service. It was near our hotel and across from Luxembourg Garden. On a busy street for good people watching. I had breakfast that included fresh croissant with creamy butter. The coffee is good. We came back for lunch and I had coquettes mademoiselle, delicious, I only ate half so this could be split. Our servers were friendly and helpful. Short walk from here up to the Seine and good site-seeing

    It can be challenging while traveling abroad to find a restaurant that has a welcoming atmosphere AND food that doesn't disappoint and this little gem does just that! With a creative inviting twist on decor and the friendliest waitstaff you'll be glad you came! Being starving and jet lagged the menu was easy to navigate- even for myself a vegan. The lentil salad was phenomenal and the pasta was perfection. I could die happily swimming in a tub of their espresso and appreciated the details down to the branded cookie. The place is colorfully decorated and can easily accommodate a family or a group of young friends. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner while dinning and his love for people is just as strong as his appreciation for food! Come for the pictures- leave with a happy stomach. I'll be back for sure.

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.

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.

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.

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

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.
