Had a great last meal here before heading home. The marquise chocolat was especially good.

What a great little find! This was around the corner from our VRBO. We found it online and popped in on Sunday night and hoped they had a spot! We sat in the window on their sheepskin covers and enjoyed an intimate dinner. Great service. Good was excellent. We had prime rib and chateaubriand brandy flambé with decaf Irish coffee for dessert. read more

Really poor food. Every dish we ordered was bad quality. By far the worst food we had in Paris.

What a great place! Excellent bartender, Joey, and very attentive staff. I stopped in this past weekend to have a couple of drinks. The bartender, Joey, was extremely friendly and can make an amazing old fashion plus he knows his wines. He suggested a few food items, which I loved. Thanks again Joey. The ambience is charming, great experience, and kudos to the chef. I will be back. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more

We found ourselves in a very touristy area of Paris after a tour of the conciegerie and were unsure about potential of finding a good meal. So glad we found Le Petit Marcel! The ambiance was wonderful, classic French bistro vibes with sidewalk tables. The food was delicious with a perfect portion size to be full but not too full. Our server was outstanding - fluent English but more importantly he was charming and engaging. He showed us a few magic tricks and gave great service. read more

First and foremost, the aperitifs were average. The parsley, garlic butter razor clams and onion soup that we ordered didn't impress. The broth in the soup was bland and the cheese was tasteless, altogether just an average onion soup. The razor clams were decent, the garlic, butter and parsley sauce gave all the flavor. We order a Kir for the apéritifs and a Sauvignon for the meats, the Kir was forgotten and the Sauvignon came first rather than during the meat portion of the meal. The Sauvignon tastes watered down and sour. After 25 minutes of eating, our meat is served. For my lady, she ordered L'entrecôte béarnaise frites. The prime rib came super tough and impossible to cut through. The taste was completely bland and the temperature of the steak was lukewarm and bloody. As the cherry on top, the béarnaise sauce was cold and refrigerated and tasted unpleasant. The salad on the side was unappetizing and unnecessary to say the least. The fries, well they're fries. And even then, they were cold and stale. For my order, the Chateauxbriand flambé in brandy cognac was bland and tasteless. All I could appreciate from my steak is the tenderness and the bloody temperature that I asked for. My sauce tasted like dish soap and the fries were cold and stale, same as my girlfriend. We were captivated by the overall look and aesthetic of the restaurant, as well as the certificate on the walls ensuring that everyone knows they are recognized by the culinary school of France. Completely disappointed by the quality of the food and the price, the bill came out to €140. read more

If I could give zero star to this place, I think I would. We came today for a coffee and the waiter has been very rude to us, saying that my girlfriend was too fat to have a hot chocolate. I've honestly never seen such an attitude in a restaurant. Never go there. read more

An impromptu bout of hunger was quickly satisfied by Le Petit Marcel. Extremely close to Centre Pompidou & nestled in the middle of restaurant row, we were happily surprised by the quality of the service & food - offering options ranging from salads to burgers to crepes & everything in between, you will surely find something to satisfy! Our wonderful lunch choice was Croque with 3 Cheeses - came on a bed of arugula with roasted potatoes. There was a lot of cheese which had been melted to perfection - all combined, it was like a hearty salad with gooey, cheesy croutons Paired it with a nice glass of bordeaux & this was the perfect lunch stop! Sitting outside, under the heat lamps, we got all the benefits of outdoor dining, Paris bistros at their finest & the service was nice & funny as when presented with questions about what to order, their standard answer was indulge! It's the weekend! It's the holiday! Indulge! And we did! read more

Our Airbnb owner recommended this restaurant and it was wonderful. Sitting outside in December under the heat lamps and people watching was great. Our waiter was so nice and sarcastically funny! Even offered to take our picture :) The food was delicious and truly Parian and at a very good price. We would definitely go back and we highly recommend!! read more

Everything we ordered was delicious!! The Tigre steak, the chicken, the Thai salad and the Cheeseburger. read more

It was our last night in Paris and we were looking for a great last dinner. We randomly stopped by and were greeted with welcoming and smiling faces (and we do not speak a word of French). Our waiter Monir spoke great English and was a great host. The food was delicious and the desserts fantastic. We highly recommend it. read more

This place was atrocious. The server was rude and condescending, and creepedme out quite a bit. At one point he came up extremely close and whispered right in my ear. The food was the worst I had in Paris--aesthetically and taste-wise. This was the worst duck confit I have ever eaten and the worst meal I had in Paris. read more

Avoid. I've been coming to Paris for 20 years and this is the worst service and experience I've ever had. It's a tourist trap. The food is not good and the waitstaff are unbelievable jerks. My friend and I stopped in late one night (she's Swiss, we both speak French fluently) and when I asked the waiter if we could take a table in the next room, he repeated back what I said in a stammering, mocking tone like I was an idiot. I was stunned. It was like they were trying to make us leave. We didn't (I guess to prove a point, but I don't know why). His colleague served us begrugingly, the place was dead, the food not very good. If you don't speak French (or even if you do) they are making horrible fun of you. This is not what Paris is really like. read more

This was a wonderful, unexpected find. The staff is very friendly & jovial and welcoming. They even taught me how to say "platypus" in French. They care about the quality of food as well as providing exceptional & friendly service. It seems that this is where all the Parisians go and not a "tourist" trap at all. They will gladly translate items on the menu, if you're not sure of the definition. (They taught me two different versions of steak tartare that they have on the menu - and the regular steak tartare is superb.) Their "specials" aka plays du jour are great too! We'll be coming back here when we visit Paris again. read more

After walking by this place a few days in a row and liking the smell from the kitchen, I decided to finally stop in for dinner. Turned out to be a good choice. I had a tasty appetizer of razor clams and a nice fresh fish for my main. Service was very attentive and happy to make suggestions for meals. Reasonably priced too. read more

This is a delicious treat. We enjoyed cocktails, prawns and delicious steak. English friendly and every detail accounted for. You will not be disappointed in this pleasant cafe! read more

We had the clams and French onion soup. So delicious. The waiter who was very nice and friendly told us that the clams are from Brittany. For the main we had a penne with chicken in a cream sauce. This dish I would give a 4 as it was a bit bland but still tasty. A lovely restaurant with very friendly service and we'd love to visit again the next time we are in Paris! read more

My family ended up eating here when the place we were originally going to eat at was closed for summer vacation. We were just walking along the street looking for somewhere to eat (and there were a ton of choices) and while we were trying to read the menu posted outside (it's in French), a waiter who spoke English came and told us about the restaurant. We decided to just eat here since we'd been walking for a while. Our waiter was very nice and his English was pretty good. He told us about the specials and answered all our questions. We got 2 plates of escargot, the duck confit, and two of the specials which were filet and prime rib. He also helped pick a wine for my parents and they shared a glass. We wanted to be seated outside since it was our last night in Europe and we never dined outside the whole trip. It can be kind of cramped outside because the tables/seats are all right next to each other so it's not exactly private. Food came out very slowly; I'm not sure if that's just a European/Parisian thing or if it's really just slow. Like, the food comes out slow so that you have lots of time to have conversation? Overall great food and service. read more

So cute. I stayed at an Airbnb on this street and this was just next to it. I had the escargot and he had the shrimp salad. Everything was delicious. If you don't like smoke then eat inside. Though most ppl chose to eat outside because that's what you do in Paris! The tables are practically next to each other so be aware of that if you don't like to hear people's conversations. read more

It was our last night in Paris so we were looking for a wonderful cafe to go to, and found it here! The waiter made some excellent suggestions and the food was plentiful and delicious. To make our stay even more memorable, he asked where we were from, and when we said San Francisco, he immediately said "Warriors?", so we had a delightful conversation as he was a huge basketball fan! He and my husband discussed the various summer player trades and different players current and past (Chris Mullin). What a great memory we will always have about our trip, when you make a connection with a stranger and have a wonderful conversation! read more

Nice place for breakfast (however it's pretty expensive). Very friendly personel. Cafe creme, crossaint x 2 and fresh orange juice it's like 10 euro. read more

Excellent lunch here. Loved my Salade Vegan - quinoa and bulger with super fresh veggies. We were well attended by our man bun waiter. Prix fix lunch was a good value - linguini with pistou and speck. Friendly for families too. read more

Our last night in Paris, we ended up at this restaurant. What a mistake. Our waiter was a rude, pompous jerk. I think he thought he was funny but basically kept insulting us. Also overheard he and another waiter laughing and making jokes about at a man who walked by and was wearing a skirt. The food was mediocre at best and way overpriced. There are too many good restaurants with good service to ever go here. read more

Exquisite service, delicious food, family friendly.

We ended up eating dinner here because we were short on places we'd researched near our apartment for the week near Centre Pompidou. Such regrets. As another said, the waiter was a pompous jerk. He pandered to us as American tourists. I speak fluent French, but that was not of interest. No comment on the food. A real jolt came when it was time to pay the bill. As others have noted, there was a problem with the computer that day and we couldn't use our credit card. What next - laver la vaisselle? No. We could go down the street and get euros from the ATM. Who would be waiting there, the waiter's friend to rob us? (I'm sure it was just to avoid paying my credit card company's fee.) Fortunately, my husband had enough cash to cover the bill. This is a tourist trap. Our advice - take the time to research before you go. Avoid cafés, restaurants, stores, etc. near tourist sites. You didn't travel so far to experience what they offer. read more

Great food, friendly service. We had a bottle of wine and some food outside and fell in love with the place, it was absolutely perfect!

I am honestly shocked that Le Petit Marcel only has 3 stars. Our Air Bnb host recommended that we try the restaurant and it was by far one of the best restaurants we ate at during our time in Paris. While we were the only Americans at the restaurant, the waiter was kind and cracked us up with jokes such as quacking like a duck when we ordered the canard. The food here was absolutely tremendous as were their happy hour deals such as 5 euro for 50 cl beers and cocktails. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by Le Petit Marcel! read more
