Review #23 of 2024!!…read more I visited champs elysee on an afternoon during dusk to enjoy the light show. There are lots of high end shopping here along with many restaurant options. The sidewalks are really big and ample but what I noticed was there were a handful of people begging for money in this area. They did not take a lot of space on the sidewalk but some of them were being aggressive and shoving their money cups in your face. I did feel safe walking here as they are a lot of tourist in the area. It is very easy to get here as there are metro stations nearby and the bus runs here often.

It's around the corner from a busy restaurant intersection that's kitty corner from the daily Versailles outdoor farmer's market. Seating is indoors with tables for around 30 people. There were a variety of French and international customers, from individuals and couples to larger family groups of 6-7. Staff mainly spoke French and menus were in French, so with some basic guessing and google translating, ordering was okay. I appreciated that their English was proficient to communicate basic requests, since I'm not so familiar with French. Menu is separated into two main sections--galettes, which are savory preparations, and crepes which are sweet. There's a multitude of options to choose from, although they were out of a couple items when we were there. Decently tasty for a lightly filling lunch, and reasonably priced. You need to flag down the server for the bill, they were pretty busy when we were there. If I was in the area I wouldn't mind dropping by to try some of their other crepes.

Don't miss this creperie, it's an absolute standout. As someone who's French, I can confidently say…read morethis is the best creperie I've ever been to. It's so authentic, it truly feels like you've been transported to Brittany. The menu offers a huge variety, and yet every dish is executed perfectly. I went with my family, and we each ordered a different crepe--both savory galettes and sweet crepes--and every single one was delicious. They also offer a great combo: a galette, a sweet crepe, and a bowl of cider. It's not just a good deal, it's the full Brittany experience. The cider is a must-try--it adds an extra layer of authenticity and pairs perfectly with the meal. Highly recommended for anyone craving a true taste of France, whether you're local or visiting.

Our waiter clearly appreciated our effort in communicating in French and it wasn't long before we were getting language lessons. It was a chilly day, so authentic French onion soup fit the bill. We added an Italian salad (lettuce, prosciutto, ham, etc.) we'd call it an antipasto, they call it a salad. Either way, it was very good. The soup? Just perfect. A hearty beef/onion broth topped with sliced bread and covered with melted cheese. It was so good I just kept "dunking" my bread in the broth for the flavor. The bar was hopping as well. All that was missing was Sam Malone. (IYKYK)

So, I just popped in here to grab a bite to eat, and some tea, though a bite to eat in Paris…read moregenerally involves a butter coissant (and maybe some orange juice). I certainly liked this place, even though it is fairly similar to a lot of the other Parisian cafes. I guess that is why I like Paris, namely the cafes, and this one is next to a pretty awesome fountain as well.

Le Cercle du 17e serves Algerian cuisine. Having been a French colony, the flavors and cooking styles have made their way to Paris. The meals I have had a Le Cercle have been very good. Being Paris, you can even have wine with the meal. You should definitely try one of the tajine dishes, excellent. Be careful of the pan, it is very hot. Off the main avenue, you don't have people walking constantly. A plus for me.
