We had very high hopes for this restaurant. Unfortunately it was just ok. The service was great. The atmosphere is lovely. We sat outside and the setting is a typical, beautiful peresian atmosphere. And luckily a waiter dropped off a couple of glasses of champagne to us by accident, so we enjoyed those. We ordered the burratina, which was great. Creamy burrata with a delicious pesto. The dish also came with prosciutto, which was flavorful and tasty. Unfortunately our main dishes didn't live up to the reviews or the first part of our meal. We ordered the clam rissoto and the pollock in a citrus sauce and mashed potatoes. The rissoto was well cooked, but the clams were bland. The sauce may have overpowered the clams, or the clams just weren't fresh, because you couldn't taste them at all. The fish was well cooked, but the sauce was super strong and you couldn't taste the flavor of the fish at all. Just a so-so meal. Won't be back this trip, especially with all of the other great food in Paris. read more

Best meal in Paris, hands down. Tucked away in a quiet little street in the Right Bank, this place oozes charm. The restaurant seems to be a former home . Cozy. Homey. We sat upstairs and enjoyed the cool breeze lofting through the open window. Our waitress was so sweet and kind and helped us translate.. this is hard to find, especially on this side of the river. I opted for the lamb and it was perfection. We also had the duck entree. The French can do duck kike no other. Be sure to save room for the Fromage and desert courses!! I have NO IDEA what the cheese was, but it was like butter. We made pigs of ourselves on our last nigjt and ordered both the chocolate mousse and creme Brule. You can't go wrong. The mousse is light as air and the praline/toffee is impeccable. Order the house red, an unbelievable Cote de Rhone!! This will be a definite repeat on my Paris visits. Amazing meal! 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

My husband and I went here for our first dinner in Paris. Adorable bistro down a side alley. We ate outside and it was quaint and quiet. The service was friendly and wonderful. The food was amazing!!! My husband had the lamb which had a hint of curry and extremely tasty mashed potatoes. They were out of the linguini so I ate the burger and what a difference with great beef. The fries were a huge plus! read more

I order risotto with quail, delicious!! They put heavy cream and butter in the risotto. The most amazing part is quail! I still remember the taste of quail even after two days now. 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

Le Temps des Cerises - French Near Me - Paris, 75

It was my last night in France. My friends and I stayed at the 4th district. We decided to have our last dinner in this place. This restaurant has a strong tourist presence due to yelp. It still has locals and the French ambiance regardless. I was quite impressed with the menu to be honest. The menu is fusion of Asian and French. Free bread for appetizers and that's a given since it's France. For appetizers, we ordered escargots and tuna tartare with mango. I liked the tartare more than the escargots because of the balance of the fishy-ness and the sweetness of the mango. It's a good mix of taste. The escargots were salty and they were already out of their shells which took out the fun of eating them. I rather have them in their shells and fish them out. I dipped some bread on the sauce too to clean the plate like a European. For my entree, I got the duck with banana and mashed potatoes on the side. When the plate was put in front of me, I didn't exactly expect it to look that way. The duck was on top of banana leaves with bananas on the side. I was very confused but this is the fusion they put on the menu. Well, the place was very good. The heaviness of the duck breast balanced out with the bananas. The sauce of the duck was on the sweet side which was good with the bananas I was also quite surprised that the sweetness of the bananas didn't conflict with the sweet sauce of the duck. The mashed potatoes was rich and creamy. read more

My partner and I decide to have dinner here on our last day in Paris. I made reservations and the day of for 10:30PM just to be on the safe side. The restaurant is tucked away in a small corner of the street and is a lovely hole in the wall. Upon entering, we were greeted with a very warm and romantic ambiance: candle lit tables, miniature wall paintings and selves adorned with endless amounts of wine. Appetizers: Escargot: by far the best I've had on this vacation. Buttery, aromatic, and savory. I like my escargot somewhat on the "overpowering" side and this was perfect. French Onion Soup: ooey gooey goodness. The perfect amount of cheese to broth ratio. Was not overly salty whatsoever and it really warmed us up during the really cold night. Entrees: Creamy Linguine with Poached Egg and Truffle Shavings: this pasta was as creamy as can be, but I think it could've used a little more seasonings. The pasta was definitely on the blander side. The poached egg added more to the already creamy pasta and the truffle shavings was a very nice touch. Scallop Risotto: The scallops were huge and juicy. The creamy rice was nicely prepared with the perfect amount of seasonings. Burger: Not much to say other than this was a very nice burger. Wasn't dry at all and was juicy enough to eat without any condiments (I love spicy mustard and still put it on haha). Be Desserts: Creme Brûlée: Many reviews on here said that this is a must try. They were absolutely right. Not too sweet and the dessert literally melts into your mouth. Overall, if we ever visit Paris again, we will come back here in a heartbeat!8 read more

Le Temps des Cerises was our favorite restaurant that we went to in Paris! We were staying across the street so we ended up visiting twice during the 5 days we were in Paris (ugh I know but we loved it!!!) Our first visit was on a Sunday night around 7. While the restaurant is tiny and it was full of people, the nice man working took pity on us and let us sit at a little side table where there really shouldn't have been a table at all (it was really fun to try to get in and out of the table all evening). Between the 2 of us we split the green asparagus salad with goat cheese, the scallop risotto, and the tuna dish. WOW is all I have to say! The flavors were all amazing and the food was so fresh and delicious! The tuna dish was the real standout - fresh seared tuna on top of a little salad with AMAZING MASHED POTATOES! Everything about it was amazing. We liked it so much that we returned for lunch on our last day. We split one plat du jour and one tuna dish (...I said we loved it). For the plat du jour we had the mayonnaise eggs (sort of like a deviled eggs) and a fish dish. None of the food disappointed! The waiters and waitresses were all very nice and the restaurant is comfortable and inviting. I felt like I was eating at someone's house, which I loved! It is also has a neighborhood feel to it. While there were lots of people speaking English when we went for dinner, for lunch it was mostly people who worked in the area or parents who had just picked their kids up from school down the street. I highly recommend going to Le Temps des Cerises (and get the tuna!). I will definitely be back the next time I visit Paris!!!

I am distraught that Yelp took away my previous attempt at reviewing this lovely little cafe. I love Yelp, and possess an affinity for Les Temps des Cerises perhaps unmatched. I can't think of a more lovely little Parisian outing. My attempt at describing this outing, in a more diplomatic manner is as follows, hopefully to the delight of my good friends at Yelp. At Les Temps des Cerises, we ate tartare and poached salmon. Some beets. We ate frittes and drank wine. We smoked Camel Bleus and Leine and I met a cute redhead and her beautiful French boyfriend. She was from Ireland and had been living in Paris for years. And then there was Thibaut, a lanky long-haired artist in a dingy blazer. A white t-shirt underneath. Cigarettes could make anyone friends, but especially my Leine. So social, so sexy and naïve. The young couple and Thibaut chastised her at the Les Temps de Cerises bar for leaving her purse outside. The space inside is intimate and candle-lit. Luckily no one had taken her purse. I was relieved and surprisingly not upset with Leine at all. When Leine smiled and thanked them, they insisted on leaving Les Temps, our perfect little attraction, for Thibaut's flat. He lived in the attic of a small building. He told us he was once in prison and showed us his paintings. When I asked what got him arrested, he grew tacit and retreated into a solemn place, no longer with us, so I apologized and let it go. Leine drank something at Les Temps des Cerises that made her sick. The Irish girl told Thibaut to get us water and we poured it over Leine's head. They called us a cab and we got to our room safely, me half-carrying Leine up wooden spiral stairs. Three stories. In the morning, Leine didn't remember much after dinner. The fish and the frittes. I asked her about Thibaut's paintings and described them to be sloppy acrylic things of yellow and ochre. I asked her about the absinthe we drank at Les Temps, the wonderful glasses of wine. She smiled and we were both glad she was okay, that she had her passport and purse. I was falling for her hard and I realized then that I'd already failed her in a big way. I was drunk wondering how we'd ended up in Thibaut's bell tower apartment, how romantic the night had been, shrouded in smoke and thrift store paintings, cheap acrylic coloring our first night together in Paris caked, thick with opaque trouble. Thibaut free from jail, looking for a connection. We'd given him one. "I don't even have a headache," young Leine said, so much more resilient than I. Such a strong creature, all of them. More fit. Perfect companions, a perfect Parisian outing. read more

This is THE SPOT!! Rafael was an amazing server and the food was delightful. We came here for dinner 2 nights in a row and will definitely be here again on our next trip:) read more

This bistro was probably our favorite stop at Paris - the only reason I'm giving it four instead of five stars is because the service (although pleasant) was superrr slow. Risotto was amazing and rice was perfectly cooked. Four huge scallops on top. The rest of my party all got the veal(?). Also, best escargot we had in the city! read more

This was a charming and delicious resto in Le Marais. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was quaint and romantic. We ordered the Soupe a l'oignon which was hot and so flavorful. The steak tartare and the bistro burger were excellent. The escargot looked amazing as well. Definitely give it a try! read more

Perfect neighborhood bistrot which sits in a lovely corner and looks just like someone's house. Many locals just having a drink at the bar. It was a warm day and we chose to sit outdoors. We were lucky with no reservations made earlier and managed to get seats. Started with a entree of the day - gazpacho of asparagus and rocket, served with a lump of minced cheese with pine nuts. Quite lovely for the hot day but quite under seasoned. The fresh salt grinder on the table came to good use. Bread were served together with the entree. Butter was generously given when asked. French butter and bread is just so good. Mains were lamb for my partner and another daily special - grilled swordfish (half cooked) for me. Both were served with a generous quenelle of mash and some vegetables. Lamb is sous vide / confit for 10 hours and was mighty soft and the jus was delicious. The fish was cooked just perfect, with a tangy, sweet and buttery sauce to boot. Too full after these courses (I blame the hot day!) to have dessert. ): Prices were so reasonable. €42 for all three dishes ! read more

This is an amazing place! If you want to taste the real flavor of parisien food, this is the place to do it. I had rhe filet mignon and my wife the duck. No joke, this was auch a great experience. If you are staying in Mariais, this place should be your starting point on parisien food. read more

This place is legit! So much so that on our recent vacation in Paris, our Uber driver dropped us off, parked his ride and next thing you know he was sitting at the bar having a coffee. We arrived at 7 hoping to beat the crowd in this cozy French Bistro-which we did. The kitchen didn't start dinner service until 7:30 but that was ok because we enjoyed wine and a beer and had the cheese board. When it came time to eat, the menu was easy to understand for English speakers, and our waitress also spoke English and helped us navigate through the choices. Everything was delicious. Entrees were baked lasagna and scallops with risotto. And for desert coffee (espresso) and the creme brule We really enjoyed the experience of dining in what felt like a neighborhood's best kept secret. Charming spot read more

Words can not describe the experience we had at this place, food is AMAZING service and staff are super nice. A guest got up and sand the bday song to my husband in French, that was. Bonus ;) Definitely not a tourist spot and may very well be the best locals restaurant. While dinning I asked when we come back next year, what do you want to do again that we have done so far and coming back to this place is definitely a must. Thank you. read more

This was the first meal my girlfriend and I had in Paris and it was phenomenal! We had the French onion soup, coquille st. Jacques, and fish with vegetables. We came in ten minutes before the kitchen was closing but the waitress was more than accomodating and she also spoke English! We washed the food down with two glasses of their house red wine and they paired perfectly! The ambience was very inviting and cozy. This is definitely a great date spot! read more

Delicious authentic French meal. We shared a cheese plate with creamy lovely chèvre. I had the risotto with scallops which was tender, flavorful, and incredible. Very small place but I loved three intimate vibe. They set out little radishes as a starter at each table which I loved. Servers were accommodating and very kind. read more

This was my last minute booking for new year eve dinner. Found it with good ratings on yelp and booked it via this app. A bit disappointed. They squeezed as many tables as possible in any spare space. It has no privacy. Food was better than expected. The gamba salad was good and entrecôte was average. Escargot was good and we loved it. It's a touristic resto with mainly foreigners. read more

This was one of the first restaurants were we had dinner in Paris and the service was awful. We made reservations for diner which I highly recommend since the restaurant is small. The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because it took a long time for our food to come out. The menu is in French but the waitress is able to explain the different dishes which is helpful. I recommend the veil with snap peas and mashed potatoes. It's a smaller portion so keep that in mind if you're arriving hungry. My husband had the tuna which was great also except that it was very small. The dessert was probably my favorite part... I suggest getting the chocolate lava cake which comes with vanilla ice cream. read more

Le Temps de Cerises came recommended to us by a local, so we had to check it out! They serve dinner starting at 7, but you can show up sooner and hang out at the bar and have a drink and eat some crunchy radishes with salt. I had the steak covered in what I think were shallots and some green herb. It was accompanied by fries and a salad. My husband had the magret de canard (duck breast) and we both really loved it. Although my steak was good, it was a little fattier than I prefer, and his duck was simply perfect. It had an Asian style sauce that was very complementary. We finished off with a dessert...basically a molten chocolate cake served with a cold creamy sauce on the side. It was absolutely decadent. I'd definitely come back to this cozy little restaurant! read more

Lunch: Beautifully prepared veal, clam risotto, and seared tuna over avocado pieces, fresh baguettes, sitting outside in a quiet alley in Arrondissement 4 on a pleasant, sunny temperate day -- service was very good, server worked with my bad French like a champ, hey, life is good at this place, inside and out. read more

Delightful. The snails, the onion soup, the steak and the fish were all delicious. And it's lovely to find a neighbourhood style restaurant just a couple of blocks from the centre of the Marais. The menu is in French, and the waiters preferred French to English (though their English was fine), but most of the customers spoke English. I think the secret is out about Le Temps des Cerises. read more

Mon plat est arrivé froid. La sauce sortait directement du frigo et la viande, ou le peu de viande qui se battait en duel avec une demie carotte, était diplomatiquement parlant plutôt tiède. Les portions sont minus, donc prenez un sandwich avant d'arriver. Le service est très froid également, un couple de serveurs très stressés et pas souriants du tout. Après 5 bonnes minutes où on a fait mine de ne pas nous voir, on a enfin daigné nous donner une table sur laquelle on nous a jeté le menu avant de repartir en coup de vent. Le sourire n'est pas le principal forte de la maison. L'ambiance était très " intime ", autrement dit si vous cherchez une table tranquille, c'est raté! Les tables sont tellement rapprochées qu'un instant nous pensions être à la soupe populaire, heureusement d'ailleurs car on n'avait pas pensé à allumer le chauffage, des courants d'air et un froid de canard. Nous avons déjeuné avec nos manteaux sur le dos. Le bistrot est très exigu et donc le bruit est prédominant, donc pour les repas romantiques allez ailleurs. Romantique ou pas d'ailleurs, allez ailleurs je vous le conseille. read more

Delicious food, specifically the onion soup was the best I've ever tried. The service was not very good though. My party had to wait almost 20 minutes for a seat even though we had a reservation and even after we sat down no one came to take our order until we called them to our table. For both those reasons, I docked a star but truly the food was delicious. The restaurant was small, but very nice and candlelit. read more

Oooo, this was a terrific meal and a calm, pleasant place for a weary traveler to enjoy a meal. We had steak cooked to perfection with delicious sauce for plates. For l'entree, try the coddled eggs in Parmesan cream. Divine. Lovely wine choices and they are by the glass so you can try multiple things. We truly enjoyed the atmosphere as well! A very nice place to visit. read more

Friends and I were on a food venture... had been to our first spot to eat and decided to continue on. Found this spot and was seated by a nice girl. Went through our menu and was very informative. Ordered Beef cheek. Nice presentation but lacked in taste. Meat was not tender at all. Beans seemed like canned. Bacon wrapped scallop risotto. Scallop was cooked nicely, sadly the risotto was way undercooked. French onion soup was quite tasty. Cheesy and a good balance of flavors. Sweetness from the onions. I would recommend this. read more

We were on a quest for authentic French dishes for our last meal of our trip, and were led here by some of the other yelp reviews. I got the garlicy, buttery escargot I craved, but sadly not the onion soup, as it turns out that is a seasonal item. As our entrees we ordered duck and lamb...the duck, which was served with plantains (a nice touch) was pretty good, but the lamb was tough and very disappointing. Our friends ordered the scallop risotto, which they enjoyed. We also got a bottle of rose, but it was pretty watered down. Service was SO SLOW. Our waiter came by only to take our order and it took over an hour to get our food; wheras we saw the other waiter check in with his tables often. read more

I've been to Paris twice and this is in my top 3 meals. It's small and cozy and serves warming, rich food which was perfect for the Paris winter. There's a good mix of locals and visitors. We made reservations for 7:30p and found the restaurant to be not too busy early on. Good for vegetarians too, as my boyfriend was able to enjoy a meat-free and delicious pasta. I ordered the risotto with bacon-covered scallops and it was divine! The salty bacon went great with the creamy risotto. We finished off the meal with a tarte tatine and creme brulee. The tarte was good, but the creme brulee was the star. It's a wonderful stop if you're in Paris. read more

Seriously perfection!!!! Quaint, quite, great vibe and friendly staff! The menu is short so you dont get lost in choices. The food was divine to say the least! If you are looking for memorable french meal then this is the place to visit! My husband and I cannot wait to come here again. read more

Best dinner we had in our 2 weeks in Paris. This restaurant was great because they offered reliable options (duck, lamb, fish, etc.), but each was prepared with balanced & flavorful sauces & spices that differed from what you'll find elsewhere. I had a great tuna appetizer served with an avocado creme and a flavorful lamb and vegetables as a main course, while my wife enjoyed her risotto. Service was great and the server made a good wine recommendation. read more

This little bistro is charming and cozy I give it 4 stars even though I wasn't wowed by the meal. The escargots were nice, the onion soup broth was good but the cheese and crouton not as good as I've had elsewhere. The duck was a little disappointing -- the sauce tasted like it was missing something. Happy to have tried it anyway. read more

Le Temps des Cerises - The best burger in Paris! - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Way over hyped, yelp has let me down. I ordered the risotto with (4) scallops and while it was a nice, thick texture it has NO flavor... at all.... like I added salt to it and I NEVER add salt to my food. Then I tried my friends steak and it was SO tough and also completely lacked any flavor. Bread had a really odd flavor- almost soapy. Really disappointing. Risotto was 23€, steak and fries was 26€. read more

Man oh man! We'll be back here for sure. Attracts allot of Anglais patrons thanks to Rick Steve's but don't let that detract you. Had the risotto with scallops and ham.
