Amazing food, the service was top notch, and the ambiance was quintessential Paris. The area is a beautiful place to walk around after dinner too. read more

Risotto was rich and creamy. The rice was perfectly cooked and the texture was perfect. The scallops were wrapped in bacon and were soft and flavorful. The lamb was platted with two sauces that were perfect to use with the bread when we finished. The lamb itself was very tender and melted in our mouths. The fries were crisp and lightly salted. Dessert: Creme Brûlée and the chocolate mousse. Creme brûlée very velvety in texture, well balanced, made with real vanilla bean. Chocolate mousse was rich with crispy praline to balance out the texture of the mousse. Not too sweet. read more

I found this place after reading the fantastic reviews and I can see why it is so highly rated. We stopped in on a Sunday night but didn't have a reservation. They were able to seat our party of 3 right away, though. We ordered a bottle of wine on the recommendation of the server and it was fantastic. My mom had the lamb and mashed potatoes. The lamb was so tender you could cut it with a fork, it just melted in your mouth. I ordered the asparagus and spinach risotto which was cooked to perfection. My daughter had the burger and states it was the best burger she's ever had in her life (in fact she wants to go back tonight for dinner). We finished off with a crispy dessert filled with vanilla custard and berries. Everything was amazing and the food was brought served so quickly. All of the servers were very friendly and offered amazing recommendations. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Make reservations! This place was a far walk from our hotel but it was worth it. The service was great. He didn't speak much English but he did his best to serve us. He even gave us a free wine tasting because we couldn't decide on dry or fruity white wine. And at the end of the meal, he gave us free shots of this cherry liquor. We got the escargot and French onion soup to start. It was delicious!! The escargot was buttery and garlicky. The table bread paired perfectly with it. The French onion soup or just onion in this country was yummy. It wasn't too cheesy but the soups was thick and full of flavor. For main, we got the scallop risotto and beef tartare. Both delicious. But the main star has to be dessert. The creme brûlée was amazing. It was creamy and silky. The sugar didn't taste burnt at all. It was all so perfect. read more

I went here again for dinner with a friend who I may never see again, so I was really hoping that it'll live up to my (previous) expectations. It totally did. :) If you were to only get un plat, you'd still only be spending maaybe less than 15€ (around that) for dinner. (I think the prices are comparable for lunch, so definitely come here for dinner instead). I ended up splitting an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert with my friend. She also got a glass of wine, and the total came out to 32€. If you're not getting wine, and you do the math, you can see that you can get an extremely delectable meal for less than 15€. :) I got the terrine au lapin et olives (.. don't know if it's au or du). She ordered the brochette de canettes (which I had gotten before). We later got the dessert du jours, which was a verrine de fruits frais. (Btw, when it comes to "sharing," you have to be rather discrete. French restaurants generally like for you to each order something, so you can't sit there and not get anything. This gets awkward if you only want to share an entrée and a dessert because they'll take away your fork & knife. :x). The rabbit & olive terrine was very, very good. It came with a onion confiture (not sure how to describe it) that seemed to have been made with red wine. It was a little sweet and went perfectly with the terrine and bread. I kept making tiny sandwiches. The duckling skewers were excellent, as was the sauce :) And the mashed carrots were also very good. The "glass of fresh fruit" sounds kind of lame, but it was superb. (We got it on the waiter's recommendation). We actually gasped when we saw the dessert that our neighbors had gotten, and we were delighted when we found out that that was what we had ordered. Verrines are generally layers of things with different textures, and this was no exception: coconut pudding on the bottom, crushed mangoes, then crushed melon, and a thin, sheer garnish of honeydew on top, generously topped with a light cream. SO GOOD. It was a very lovely dining experience and we sat there from 9pm-11:30pm. A large party (well, around 6 or so ... Le Temps des Cerises isn't very big) came in at 11pm and still got food. So if you're looking for a good late night meal, don't hesitate to come here (: read more

Picked this restaurant for something out of the way in a more quaint neighborhood. It was definitely going to be hard to find if we didn't map it on the smart phone. We were promptly seated outside as requested, but had made reservations ahead of time. The menu is only in French but no problem as the staff translate it for you. We had the shrimp salad which was prepared like a traditional Chinese chicken salad. The dressing was amazing and the crispy fried wontons were just delicious. Nothing ordinary about it!!! For dinner we had the cheeseburger and fries and salmon on mashed potatoes with pesto sauce. A great combination and must admit, salmon was on the social menu and it was very tasty and perfect. For dessert we had the Cream brûlée which was again one of the best we have tried so far, and we love this dessert so have tried many and this was one of the best. The restaurant is fairly small and outdoor seating is limited so make sure you make reservations if you decide to go there. read more

At the end of the street hides this little gem. Found it through Yelp of course and decided to check it out. Super busy spot got a seat in the back between two English families. Seems like it's not many locals come here. Service was excellent. The lamb that is good for 10 hours was amazing didn't need a knife to cut it. Mashed potatoes creamy and buttery and the asparagus done right. The tomato and cheese is really good but I think without the pesto sauce and more of a balsamic and oil would of been better. Delicious and friendly place. read more

This was definitely our fav restaurant in France (we also sat next to two other American couples and they all agreed it was one of their favs too!). It's a fairly small place, but luckily we were able to get a table (small) pretty easily without a wait. We got the escargot and French onion soup, duck (one of the specialties that the server recommended) and the veal dish of the day. I'm not even a fan of french onion soup, but it was amazing and definitely one of the best versions of it that I had ever tried! Highly recommend! It was smooth, cheesy, and full of flavor. The duck was soo good (and I tend to order duck whenever I see it on the menu) and it was definitely one of the better ones I've had. We didn't get any dessert since we were completely full after appetizers and our entree however, our table mates raved about the ones they got. Definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

We love to eat at this charming neighborhood restaurant. The lamb chops were luscious, the fish perfectly cooked and and my panna cotta with raspberry sauce to die for. I had to slow my spoon down to make it last longer. The service was sensitive and the atmosphere very pleasant. read more

Hmmmm the scallops and risotto was sent back. I got baby scallops and unseasoned risotto, I could have eaten the scallops in 2 bites they were not even bacon wrapped, but then again they were to small. cost... 25Euro.... worth maybe $10!!! Basically a bowl of risotto garnished with baby scallop on a nicely decorated plate. They did try to make it right and made me some beef steak and risotto that was not on the menu. "It wasn't that great". Was charged $25... but they are super nice...! We were given a complementary Brandy cherry Sherry once we finished. Huge plus the bathrooms are beyond clean. I've never seen a bathroom this clean in public ....! read more

Our last meal in Paris did not disappoint. We were looking for a resto on yelp that offered late night dining. We went to another resto beforehand but they ran out of everything we wanted and so we decided to leave. Problem was at 11pm on a weekday it was a bit hard to find something open. I had the beef tartare with fries and salad. The tartare had some little pickles and spices and wasn't just a raw piece of meat like I've seen at other restos in Paris. The fries were so good. It also felt good to eat some veggies after almost a month of not having much. My boyfriend had the veal with mashed potatoes and snow peas. I preferred his dish to mine and the waiters both recommended the veal. My boyfriend found it bland but I assure you it was not. It was cooked to perfection and was covered with gravy. The mashed potatoes were awesome and I can see why a lot of people on yelp loved it as well! read more

Great hidden gem in Paris and the waiters are cute!! The desserts are fab as well. Great local spot.

Lovely little spot. Very, very cozy; or cramped, depending on how you feel about tight spaces. The food is very tasty and the ambiance is romantic. The server I had spoke English quite well, and the bathrooms were clean. I ordered the Faut Filet (sirloin steak) and requested it be prepared rare, and it surely was, with a dark red interior. read more

Fantastic meal! The food was perfect. The staff was welcoming and very helpful considering we didn't speak French. Recommended by our hotel desk clerk, we were the only English speakers in the restaurant. read more

Food= pretty good, Service=not too great. Came here with a party of five after making a reservation. Waiter didn't speak French so we had to google and point to items in the menu we wanted-which was totally fine. Ordered escargot, mashed potatoes, French onion soup and scallops with risotto. I received everything but the risotto. It just never came and I clearly ordered it; pointed to it and confirmed it with the waiter. I let it go because the rest of the food was pretty good so it was fine. The escargot was to DIE for. I'm hooked on escargot because of this place. Mashed potatoes were basic roasted garlic. Scallops were cooked perfectly could've been seared a little longer to have a little crisp on the edges. The French onion soup came with little bits of bread...and when you dip it in...WOW. That bite literally cannot be put into words. We waited around 20 minutes after we asked for the check. When it finally arrived he casually mentioned that their credit card machine was down and the nearest ATM was around the corner... it was FOUR BLOCKS AWAY. Order the snails, get that soup and bring cash. read more

This was the best meal and atmosphere I've had on my honeymoon! We went to a lot of "it" places that were overpriced and frankly, not hospitable. This restaurant was amazing! The food was perfect; not one grain of salt out of place. When we were undecided with wine, the waiter offered the cheapest option, which I appreciated not because of cost but because he was honest at about what flavor pairing we were looking for and a lot of restaurants would've just pointed to the most expensive bottle on the menu just to sell it. We sat outside and it was très romantique. Mostly locals but some tourists and the servers/ owners all spoke English perfectly (as much as I tried to practice my French). I would 100% recommend and will definitely be returning next time I'm in Paris. read more

First dinner here in Paris .. really quaint dark Reaturant with a small bar and excellent wine selection. The bae tender was nice and selected a ReD for me. I started with traditional escargot and again allowed his suggestion on a fish main course ! I've heard a lot about how bland French food is but on the contrary I loved this ! You need a reservation on the weekend would be my suggestion as there are only 9 tables and 6 seats at the bar. I went on a Friday at 6:45 and sat right down. The fish was rare tuna with a grate spinach, avocado & bacon accompanied like salsa served slightly Luke warm was nice and filling but not to heavy. Finished with a cappuccino & delightful brûlée read more

My dad and I came here for dinner and loved it! It's a super cute/small place that was very cozy! It was perfect for a cold rainy night. The staff spoke English and they were all very friendly and accommodating. They have great red wine and the food was so delicious. My dad and I both ordered the onion soup and it is definitely a must! I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops with risotto and WOW!! Amazing! My dad ordered the duck and also loved it. I really don't think you could go wrong here with anything. They also had great table bread. 10/10 would come here again. I also didn't think the prices were too outrageous for the quality and portion of food you got. read more

This was our last meal in Paris, and it was a great choice. I had the French onion soup, banana duck and mashed potatoes. The soup was perfect and really hit the spot on that freezing, rainy night. The duck was unique and I just loved it. The mashed potatoes had excellent texture and weren't too creamy, which happens a lot. Everyone eating in the restaurant was speaking English - most found it on Yelp, too - and it was fun to chat with the other patrons (the tables are pretty close together). Cozy ambience and friendly waiters who helped us translate the menu. read more

This little charming restaurant seated us right away a little after 7pm but steadily became very full with locals and tourists by the time we left after 9pm (the typical French dinner). You'll have to arrive "early" for outdoor seating. Everyone was very amiable to English speakers and spoke it well, though we tried to speak as much French as possible. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallop creamy risotto and duck with fried bananas and mashed potatoes, per previous Yelp reviews. My husband enjoyed both dishes immensely, while I favored the duck - cooked well on the medium rare side - because I really liked both the sides as well as the flavorful sauce on the duck. The risotto was very creamy and the carrots gave it some crunch, but you'll need to make sure and cut the 4 scallops to eat with each spoonful of the risotto to balance out the flavor. Otherwise I found the risotto on its own a bit bland and needing some salt; the bacon greatly improved the taste! Unlike other reviewers, we got our dishes within 10-15 minutes and had no complaints about slow service. I would want to return and try some other dishes at this local favorite place! read more

This place was amazing. All the food was excellent. Staff was super friendly. Will visit every time we are in Paris.

What a cute little corner restaurant. Multiple friends recommended it so after a stroll searching for the Eiffel Tower, we found this highly rated place. A: Salade croquante aux gambas - after many days of artery clogging dishes, we need something to take it down a notch and went with this refreshing salad. Crunchy shrimp nice tossed in an Asian sesame dressing. Just delightful! A-: Margret de canard, banane figues - the duck in the sauce was super yummy. I think the sweetness of the sauce was what got me. I'm docking off some points because the duck was a little more tough than I anticipated even though I had asked for medium. I was not a fan of the bananas but it didn't deter me from the dish B: Grenadin de veau aux pleurote - the veau sat on gravy sauce which was ok, couldn't compare after I had my duck I am not a fan of escargot because they are secondary/intermediate host but, the couple next to us had ordered it and I can smell the shallot and garlic, and it smelled amazing! Almost made me want to order it so I'd say if you love escargot, order it here! Baby was looking for a particular Chanteauneuf du Pape bottle and the one they had here was closest to it and it was quite a nice full body wine. Really enjoy this place, put it down as one of your late night dinners on a weekday with a lover, such a date night atmosphere. read more

The food: We got the onion soup (4/5), the scallops and risotto (5/5), tuna tataki (4/5 - the tuna was 5, the avocado mix and mashed potato accompaniment were 3 so total of 4). The ambiance: Squashed! 3/5. They have fit so many tables that of you are sitting on the outside you will undoubtedly have your chair kicked numerous times throughout the evening. The service: Service is good but ever so slow! read more

I had a few recommendations to visit Le Temps des Cerises before I arrived in Paris, and when we found out it was a short walk from our hotel, I called after check-in and made a reservation for dinner really easily. Le Temps des Cerises is on a corner and is very very tight! When we walked in, they literally had to move the tables around so that we could squeeze in. (I don't know what we would've done if I needed to get up during the meal at any point...) It is very dimly lit and very cozy, with a print of the eponymous song hung alongside other bits of art depicting Parisian scenes. There aren't many tables, so I would definitely recommend calling ahead and keeping your dining party smaller, as it has a fairly cozy, quiet atmosphere of folks chatting rather than boisterously laughing with a large group. (Also, the restaurant may not be able to physically accommodate a lot of people at one table, and you will be sitting very close to other diners.) Almost all staff members spoke English, as this is a popular spot with tourists. In fact, while we dined there, there was only one party out of about 6 that I heard speaking French. The other parties spoke English (4 American, 1 British). A carafe of water was put under the tap as soon as we were seated so that we had water and some radishes while we waited for our food. The menus were, unfortunately for my boyfriend, in French, but I did see/hear the servers translating menu items for other tables if you need clarification on what something is. Since it was our first evening in Paris, we kicked off with escargots because hot, garlicky, buttery snails and bread was so comforting for a pretty chilly evening. I got the duck breast, which came with a side of grilled banana/plantain? It was not unpleasant but a bit of an odd pairing, I had to say. I didn't love the sauce that came with the duck. It was tart but didn't have a lot of other flavor notes to it. I didn't dislike it enough to avoid it, but I would've preferred the duck without. My boyfriend went with the grilled flounder, which was prepared really beautifully. Both of our mains were served with a bowl of mashed potatoes? I guess I'm not used to sides being served so apart from the rest of the food, especially mashed potatoes, which I'm used to having on the plate to soak up juices. We wound up not really eating them, especially because there was baguette to be had! For dessert, we tried the chocolate millefeuille, which was really more like deux feuille: two very thin crisps of chocolate sandwiching vanilla cream and berries. It was a good end fo the meal. + Solid food + Solid staff + Solid (if cramped and dimly lit) intimate atmosphere read more

This was my favorite meal during my stay in Paris. Authentic French cuisine at a very affordable price. Came highly recommended from a few friends who are current locals to the area. I made a reservation the same day for dinner, they were very helpful as i don't speak French. The food was amazing. I tried escargot for the very first time ever and LOVED IT. It came steaming hot, filled with garlic-ey buttery juiciness. I was sure to soak up all that sauce with the complimentary bread they kept refilling for us. I had the scallop risotto for my main plate that was also very good. The scallops were actually wrapped with bacon and cooked to perfection, the risotto was also some of the best I've ever eaten. I also ate the creme brulee for dessert and that didn't disappoint either. The restaurant itself is very small, as are most restaurants in Paris - however this place was super cozy! The staff did their best to accommodate as many people as would fit in the place without making anyone uncomfortable. They were nice enough to let me add an additional person to our table after we arrived. Atmosphere was great, very casual and chill - the servers are genuinely nice and quick to help with questions. They kept checking on us to make sure our glasses and bread basket were full. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending it to everyone! read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here. It's a small, cozy restaurant, and the service was very good. I had the scallop risotto, which was rich and delicious. The apps and desserts were great as well.

After searching on Yelp, I decided to take my mom here for a redemption meal as we didn't have a good experience at lunch due to what I consider the tourist treatment. We really wanted to eat a good meal in Paris. This place delivered. If you don't have good French speaking skills to call for reservations, like me, come here in person right before 7:30PM to ask for a table for dinner. I learned enough French to ask for a table for two. Space is limited but that's the charm of this place. The server was really nice after I asked if she spoke English. There were radishes with salt on the table. Give them a try! Very good for revving up your appetite. For starters, I've learned that the specials are usually the way to go and ordered the mozzarella and tomato appetizer and a plate of charcuterie. More than enough for two, we even shared with the gentleman sitting solo next to us. He then offered us a glass of his wine. It was a very nice exchange. For mains, we ordered the pork special and the magret de canard. Which was the most delicious cooked duck I've ever had. I was told once that duck cooked right is amazing and they were right. It came with little fried bananas and mashed potatoes. I was in heaven! Didn't think little bananas would be good, but they had a slight hint of cinnamon that complimented the duck. The pork special was so good, that it tasted like a fine steak. Please order the duck! As the pork might not be there when you visit.... For dessert, we had cannelés. It was great as well. Total for two glasses of Viognier, two starters, two mains, one dessert= 82,00€ in April of 2017. Overall the service was genuine and you could tell they all worked hard. The Swiss man that sat next to us said it's one of his favorite restaurants and what he thinks is true French cuisine and he always brings his friends there. So hey, listen to the cute little Swiss man and me, come and eat here. Just try to learn some French and say please and thank you. read more

Small local restaurant that was perfect for lunch. Husband ordered one of their lunch specials off the board on the wall - deviled eggs and salad for starter and a beautifully crisped fish with beurre blanc sauce and veggies for 16€. I got the risotto and bacon wrapped scallops - I wished the risotto was cooked a bit longer, it was ever so slightly too hard. And I guess due to making the bacon crispy, the scallops became over cooked. Overall we would come back, service was fast and friendly and the bill was reasonable. Everyone in the packed restaurant seemed to be speaking French so it seems legit! read more

Wow! This place was great! It was five of us. We ordered all the appetizers, had the main dishes, dessert, two bottles of wine, cocktails, charcuterie and everything tasted really good. The server was cold and serious in the beginning but then warmed up to us. A lady was smoking in my face most of the night. Cigarette after cigarette, but that's to be expected if you sit next to a window. Overall great experience. read more

Our first dinner in Paris and it was amazing! We came around 11pm because of our jet lag, but luckily the kitchen closes at 12am. The bar is opened until 2am though. The waiter was friendly and spoke English! The menu is in French but google translator super helped with ordering or ask the waiter. I had the earl grey tea to start off which came with two packets of sugar and a chocolate cookie. We had family style with a group of 5 because we wanted to try everything: - escargot: buttery goodness! - beef tartare: raw beef with a side is salad and fries - scallop risotto: my favorite meal here! Cheesy, rich flavored risotto with scallop wrapped in bacon! We were stuffed but HAD to finish it! - burger: didn't try this but it had a side of salad and fries too. - duck and bananas: the sauce for the duck was super rich in flavor and sweet! Perfectly cooked with a slight crisp to the outside of the duck. I had it well-done too. - Creme brûlée: usually don't care for this dish but here, the sugared coat at the top isn't too burnt tasting but bottom is perfect - not too sweet and super soft. Would definitely recommend to come here! read more

Got dinner here on the first night of our honeymoon in Paris. It's a little cramped inside but that comes with the territory in general in this area. The food was exceptional as was our waiter. Very helpful in terms of explaining the menu to us in English as well as giving good recommendations. My husband was particularly excited about the escargot and he also loved the veal he got. I believe it was covered in pesto. I got the duck and it was juicy and flavorful (comes with some fried bananas, sort of like plantains). Definitely an excellent choice for a casual but nice dinner in Paris. P.S. The mashed potatoes you get as a side are sinfully good! Remind me of the ones my mom makes. read more

If you're looking for a cozy brasserie in heart of the Marais then look no further. This place has all the charm of a French brasserie and the feel of a neighborhood hangout. It is truly a gem. Because of great reviews, the prices are on the high side when it comes to neighborhood restaurants and the clientele on any given night are predominantly English speaking tourists. The service is usually friendly but I have seen and felt some of the servers get a little cold when they start getting a little busier and everyone is speaking English. The crunchy shrimp salad is my favorite starter. It has 2 cocktail shrimp cut in half and served on a small bowl of crunchy cabbage and Asian noodles with ginger sesame dressing. That and their bowl of French onion soup make for the perfect lunch. Their main plate winners are the matelote (fish stew in a pot), their steak, their scallops and risotto, and their tartare. You can't lose with any of those dishes. I would not suggest the burger. It is nothing special. Make sure you leave room for dessert. They have a great selection which are all pretty good. My favorite by far has been one with shaved almonds on top of whipped cream and a fluffy and rich chocolate. Sorry but I forgot the name... More updates to come! read more

This wonderful little bistro, frequented mainly by locals, certainly lived up to its high star reviews. Just the place to get classic escargots, duck, lamb, good salads and a little champagne. We had it all and enjoyed it all. It was our first night in Paris, we came planning to eat here as one of our party of four had eaten here before and made reservations. Since his first visit, more Americans have discovered it, as we noticed another American couple at the table next to us. But surprisingly, the locals were still packing in, clearly regulars who knew each other and the staff, arriving on scooters and in small cars, some of which ended up parked nearly on the sidewalk. Lots of smoking and drinking outside the open windows, but the smoke wasn't blowing our way this night. Typical, tiny tables snugly fit in the space. Our waiter had to take our order from the sidewalk leaning in the window to our table. It was just too authentic for words. We were in the front corner alcove - no other option. The wait staff was friendly and competent. I enjoyed every minute of it. read more

A charming, countrified setting mere blocks from the Bastille and in the hipster/gay Le Marais, Le Temps des Cerises is a warm and welcoming choice for a date (or, as it happens, a rendezvous for three NYC friends with the good fortune to meet up in Paris on separate travel plans). First, let's put the "rude French people" stereotype to rest. Everyone I've met over a week's time has been friendly and warm, even when I'm butchering their native tongue. The young staff here was incredibly warm and helpful, guiding us through the menu, giving us terrific service, and even recommending a place to go after dinner for the best cocktails in Paris (Sherry Butt, right around the corner, a definite winning choice). There were mostly locals here, too, a nice experience after more tourist saturated places nearer to Les Halles or the Champs Elysee. The food was updated traditional. The onion soup (yes, a boring choice but I love it) was faintly sweet tasting and piping hot, the cheese and tomato tarte was multilayered and textured, my friends' scallop and risotto or duck with banana (yes, it's true) dishes were nicely balanced, well prepared, and hearty. The only slight miss was the tarte au citron for dessert. The crust didn't fit well with the fruity filling and the orange-ish flavor was underwhelming and lacked tartness. We scored an easy reservation for Friday night at 8:30p, had to adjust it - without any problems from the restaurant - to 10:30p, and had a wonderful time. read more
