We needed a warm treat after exploring Palais Royal in the morning rain and the breakfast set menu was just what we needed! Comes with two beverages - we chose orange juice and hot chocolate - and a beautifully buttered baguette and croissant with jam. The seating area is a bit tight so just be careful, as the servers will move quickly behind you.
After the claustrophobic chaos from the museum, chilling outside and drink is badly needed. Service was prompt & polite. Amazing how many tables our waiter was hustling. Kept the drinks coming with the utmost proper posture and smile! We enjoyed a appetizer plate with giant capers and the most savory truffle spread. Delicious. When you imagine Paris ~ a busy cafe across from the Louvre, a vast courtyard filled with pedestrian traffic, everyone drinking bubbles with Parisian sunglasses on. Just like a movie.
We were around in this area. We saw so many people eating here and want to give it a try. My friend and I ordered the chicken bowl. It's so tasty, but the chicken is very dry. I can't finish it. The Le tuna is pretty good the baguette is soft inside and crisp outside. The rest of the dishes are average. Customer service is just okay. :)
This is the only cafe in Paris where I thought to myself, "I need to eat there." It's exactly what I pictured a cafe would look like in Paris. Small round tables for two, lined up in rows, perhaps 2-3 feet apart, all facing away from the restaurant. I chose a table at the end, in the front. The waiter was nice enough to move the table next to me a foot more away from me, being a non-smoker. Ashtrays at all the other tables, with everyone else smoking. I ordered a coffee with milk and a croque madame style sandwich. It was simple, but delicious. I enjoyed the entire experience.
If I were to describe the classic Parisian café, Le Nemours would be it. This establishment has a number of outdoor tables that span out onto a courtyard that is bound by classic French architecture, a busy Paris street, and the Louvre in the nearby distance. They also have indoor tables that are surrounded by very nice French interior decor. They offer a wide variety of meals at this café. Plus, of course, the have the various expected espresso orientated drinks. Many of the staff possess that aloft, verging on the annoyed, attitude of French food servers, so it is always an adventure to dine here. As is common in Paris, and other French cities, you will commonly find locals coming here, ordering a single espresso, and sitting at a table, viewing their phone or talking to their friends, while smoking cigarettes, for hours on end. Again, this is an ideal example of a Paris café and, if for no other reason, this is one of the reasons I recommend trying this restaurant. The other thing is, the food here is unexpectedly good. It is obviously prepared with a lot of focus on high-level ingredients and presentation. So, you won't be disappointed in your meal. Great Place! A Paris Must!
We stopped here on our first morning in Paris. The breakfast menu was very limited but I think they just served a traditional French breakfast and that's why options were so limited. I had a cappuccino, croissant and had my husbands baguette slice that came with butter and a delicious jam. He also had some freshly squeezed orange juice, which was also great. Service was ok. They were busy and did a good job getting our food and drinks out quickly. The croissant was light and flaky. A great breakfast to kickstart our day of sightseeing! Located close to the Louvre.
Had a great lunch here on a Friday afternoon! Tip: for a lunch on a weekday, get here before the 12:30 workday rush! Food/drinks: Niçoise was excellent, served with tuna, anchovies, bell pepper, olives, green beans, and other yummy stuff. A little heavy handed with the oil at the bottom, but light, refreshing, and fresh. I heard the croque monsieur was good enough to eat again. House rosé was cool and just dry enough, just like I like it. Service: It was pretty good (which i can't always say while in Paris). Quickly served. And we were checked on. Probably gets worse as the crowd increases but our timing was good. Ambiance: This is what I come for. Outdoor seating, perfect for people watching. Beautiful weather. C'est parfait! Would come again to prendre un verre and read a good book.
To get my point across about how good one of their sandwiches is ... I first came here while on vacation in Paris in 2014 and ever since then, I kept thinking about the same sandwich. When I next came back here many, many years later, it was still on their menu, and I just about died when I saw it there. I had to have it again, and it lived up to the memory of how good it really was. It was the Le Bollywood baguette, and it had chicken, tomato, red onions and a curry mayo and it was pure heaven. The first time I came here I sat outside, but opted for indoors this time to avoid the disgusting smoke outdoors. It's a cute interior and the service was good and friendly and fast and it's very near to Le Louvre and in good walking distance to many other places one might visit whilst in Paris. Each and every time I come back to Paris, I will be sure to stop by Le Nemours, as it's a great little casual spot for yummy breakfasts and lunches and one of my favourites.
Decent restaurant to get a quick bite at. Seems to be packed quite often considering the location is really close to the Louvre. Came here for a few drinks and the complimentary pretzels. Great spot for a bit of outdoor scenery. We were seated quickly. The service seemed a bit slow due to the amount of people. We enjoyed it!
A short walk from the Louvre, in the heart of the metro area of Paris, this café, like most has exactly what you'd expect. The charm of this café comes from the service and quality of the drinks. The building itself isn't too impressive but that's what I like about cafés in Europe, especially France. I recommend this café for anyone who'd like a quick coffee and perhaps a quick bite during the day or even in the evening.
After leaving The Louvre rat race and wanting a peaceful meal, I had lunch here as previously planned. Le Nemours is conveniently located just outside of The Louvre's gift shop de Rivoli exit. It was a beautiful day so I decided to sit outside and people watch while eating. I ordered the Croque Madam which is a Croque Monsieur with a fried egg on top for 14.5€. The plate arrived shortly after and looked nicely with that egg on top along with a salad on the side. Both the salad and entree were delicious. Oh so good, as that food really hit the spot. Also my waiter was very prompt and professional. Far better table service than I received anywhere else while in Paris. Come to Le Nemours after or before your Louvre visit. You will be glad you did. read more
This wasn't a bad place at all. The outdoor seating was just fine. Service was good, but not completely amazing. It did take some time for us to get everything, but the view on the patio was fantastic. This was toward the end of our trip and it was a good time. I had a salad and a croque monsieur, which you really cannot go wrong with on this one. My wife had a wine and croque madame. The food good, just the real ding was the wait time for this place. read more

After an exhausting tour of the Louvre, we found our way to Le Nemours. My sister made a reservation since it was busy since it's near the Louvre and at a busy location - Place Colette. Although I did not take a photo of my family's food, my mom enjoyed a ham and cheese sandwich. It was very busy, so waiting to order and get our food took a little longer than expected, but we had an enjoyable break from the hustle and bustle of all that was happening that day. read more

One of Paris great cafés, located near Palais Royal and the legendary Comédie Française, right across from Le Louvre, the patio seating offers a great view of all three. Nice cocktails, a good food menu selection, coffee not too great, but truly great service; the waiters are so nice you would forget you're in Paris until the views reminds you! All jokes aside we loved this place. read more

Yes it's pretty loud and touristic, but in the end we enjoyed our stay! The food was delicious but really expensive (17€ for a salad, even a good one, and even for paris, just too much...). I understand why people criticize the waiting times, but hey, it's pretty busy there. read more

We stopped by after just arriving in Paris and were pleasantly surprised. Our hostess was very friendly and immediately set a table for our party of 6. She was very patient with us trying to order in English, even though the menu has English descriptions. We did not have coffee or tea but had a quick lunch composing of 3 sandwiches, fois gras, and a plain sugar crepe. I had the croque madam which was very good. The fois gras was served with fig jam and toast and was very tasty. Our server recommended a wine to pair with the fois gras, and it converted this dish to a delectable experience. The plain ham sandwich my dad ordered was..... Plain. I forgot the third sandwich, but it was also good. It was a great experience here with very good service. There is allot of seating outside, but inside is quite tight. They also have a bar but we did not partake. read more

We had lunch at Le Nemours after a day trip to the Louvre. I was not expecting much from a touristy restaurant. I ordered the ham and eggplant sandwich and all I could eat was the red pesto and the eggplant , only a tiny slice of ham . My daughter had the salmon and lentil salad, it was so dry no dressing. The food was less than average but the 3 stars are for the good and fast service. read more

I will have to add this Cafe/Bar to my top 3 favorites in Paris. Excellent for people watching at Place Colette, just in front of the Louvre Museum. Made famous for recently by a scene in Angelina Jolie's movie "The Tourist". Waiters are friendly, even took time to take our photos. And most of all capuccino is good! We had a simple breakfast of Cafe au lait with croissants & pain chocolat, just to jumpstart our morning before heading to power shopping at the nearby shops at the famous Rue Faubourg St. Honore. Very easy to find and the nearest metro is Mussee Louvre/Rivoli. read more

It is a very classic french bistro and a conservative choice for lunch or dinner. A place to get your croque madame and croque monsieur. Staff is quick and the food is good. Especially their nos speciality is great. My parents like classic French food and they enjoyed this place. Me and my wife are not a fan of classic french food but we still liked it. read more

Beautiful, scrumptious french desserts, crepes and wonderful coffee & wine options, with an adorable outdoor (but packed) seating area. Enjoy the wonderful view & entertaining 'people watching' at this park/square. The service wasn't very friendly and took awhile to get a waiter's attention but food & drinks came quick after ordering. Walking distance from the Louvre. Prices were actually decent compared to the rest of the area. read more

My friend and I stumbled upon this place and I am really glad we did. We ended up going twice during our stay in Paris. The croque monsieur was delicious and for a drink I recommend the saint germain, it was the best drink I had in Paris. Our waiter James was also very friendly and was patient with me when I was trying to speak the little french I know. read more

The Cafe is in walking distance from the louvre. In side is very updated and the staff was quick and spoke English. I had the Croque Madam and a glass of wine. The sandwich was amazing. Seriously was. When you order a sandwich with hams, melted cheese and a fried egg you expect it to be very heavy. This was just perfect. I would recommend to everyone! read more
