    steak tartare

    Fast food? ohh well, for American standards that's almost le most gourmet del le restaurante del le petite del but not petite in Notre Dame aka I need to educate myself lol I was surprised to see this place under the category of Fast Food. We had good service and I did not feel like I was dining at a tourist trap; I don't think this place is one. We enjoyed the food very much and the prices were pretty reasonable, although it is right next to the famous Notre Dame. We sat next to the window and it was such a good view, plus great natural lighting. I recommend it!

    When I was in Paris visiting Notre Dame, I stopped by Le Quasimodo for breakfast. It was a quaint place with a nice out door seating area and very close to Notre Dame. I thought it was reasonable priced. I shared a crepe with some strawberry jam as well as some fried eggs and toast. Everything was good. I'd recommend this place to others if they wanted breakfast near the historical cathedral.

    Visit Date: March 20, 2015 Came here with hubby after we went to Notre Dame cafe. This place was pretty busy and they served us very quickly which we found unusual because most of the cafes we went to didn't have such a fast paced NY mode about them. I had brie cheese, cucumbers, lettuce and tomato on a baguette and I loved it! It was very simple but very good, all the veggies, and the bread were super fresh. If you're visiting Notre Dame this is a pretty good place to come to for food and it's named after Quasimodo.

    It is close by to the Notre Dame Cathedral and we didn't feel like walking any further to get some food. It looks like a typical cute cafe that you see walking around Europe. There was only one server, but he was really good and quick. It started to get crowded after we came in and it was amazing seeing him work with every table! He didn't even write any orders down! The food was okay. We were really hungry so that helped. I ordered roasted chicken with frites and it was good at first, but got dry after each bite. Thank goodness for the crepes they make outside the restaurant! Or else it would have been a disappointing first dinner in Paris! We ordered a Nutella and banana crepe. It was very warm and creamy. I just wish whipped cream and powdered sugar came on top of every crepe! Overall: A yes for the crepes and a maybe-if-I'm-starving for the food.

    Stopped by this crepe cart and took ours to-go because it looked crowded inside. The price was better than the other places we passed in the Notre-Dame area (less than 5 euros), so that was a plus!

    The most relish brie n vegetable sandwich.

    I don't really care for sandwiches but, something about French bread and their fresh butter...omg. I had a simple Brie cheese sandwich w/tomatoes, cucumber n the best butter. So, fresh and delish! The bread was so soft (which normally is hard) which I prefer. The cheese, so fresh. Of course, the ice teas in Europe are all leaded (or, gassed as they say it) so, if u don't like carbonated ice teas, it's not ur cup of tea (no pun intended). I will definitely come back, again! Loved it

    This was our savior when we have been out all day sightseeing. Coincidentally, it started raining as soon as we sat down. A cup of their popular French onion soup was perfect. We also had pasta and their ice cream. All delicious. The delicatessen plate was not all that.

    Great little restaurant. Great French onion soup. Nice crepes and sandwiches. Great hot chocolate and coffee as well.

    Such a cute cafe! We came here for lunch after visiting Notre Dame Cathedral. I ordered the croque monsieur, which is a must-try French dish if you are visiting France! I had never tried it before but it was amazing! Our waiter was awesome and he spoke English, which is always a bonus!

    Wet socks and starving, we stumbled on this place after a long hike from our hotel to Notre Dame. We were seated at a little booth and quickly ordered cheesy eggy bready things to restore our energy levels, which were flagging. The cafe was pretty busy throughout, and the waiter forgot our order momentarily, but the food came quickly once the order was submitted. I had the croque monsieur, which was surprisingly light and fluffy for being bread covered in cheese. Great for a simple quick bite. The price for the three of us was very reasonable (about $25). Everyone spoke excellent English (though a nearby Spanish speaking tourist was having some trouble communicating). Bathrooms are available downstairs.

    Spaghetti Bolognaise and Salami Sandwich with Frites and 2 small Stella Artois
    Crystal D.

    Just 2 tourists exploring the city. We dropped in because the place looked quaint and we felt comfortable enough seeing other tourists having lunch. We needed to pass time between our visit to the historic Notre Dame and visiting Le Louvre. Definitely needed to re-up on our energy! We ordered a Salami Sandwich that came with a large plate of fries, the plate du jour - Spaghetti Bolognaise, which was filling and tasty for the price, and 2 small beers. We spent about 25 Euros and it kept us full even after walked to and from the Louvre and not hungry enough to have dinner. They spoke English which was nice - expected due to the location. Nothing special about it, but we enjoyed it for the most part.

    Friendly service and great food! I had the croque monsieur and my husband had spaghetti bolgenese. Great prices too!!

    3.5 stars! After visiting the Notre Dome, my husband and I stopped by this restaurant for a little break. We ordered coffee, cappuccino, ham omelette & a chocolate crepe. We were all pretty satisfied with the food and drinks. Waiters were pretty friendly. :)

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. 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. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

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.

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.

The menu features French classics and there are vegetarian options. To be honest, maybe I'm not the best to right this review because French food isn't my favorite - regardless, my main complaint is just that the food lacked the extra flavor I was hoping for but it was still solid. 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. NOW, the star of the show and the reason you're probably here: the Chocolate Mousse. Yes it is worth the hype. Only complaint - we had some leftover and they refused to box it for us.
