    Paris brest
    Brittany F.

    Had a lunch here on a cozy Sunday in Paris. Finding a great place to dine on a Sunday can be a bit of a challenge in Paris on a Sunday, as half the restaurants in the city are closed, so this was a great pick! The space is stunning and has a great energy. It's lively and relaxed at the same time with a huge skylight and tons of natural light pouring in. The menu was not huge but had a nice selection of fish and meat dishes. We ordered a started to share and two mains. Service was painfully slow. The macaroni gratin was fantastic to start and really unique with mushrooms. The salmon entree was ok and artfully presented and pork was dry and on a bed of salty beans with prosciutto. Paris Brest for dessert was sublime. Even though service suffered I would return as I loved the atmosphere and the food was decent.

    Good wine

    I feel bad giving "Les Chouettes" only 3 stars. Our party of 4 recently had dinner there. The venue is absolutely stunning, made up of 3 different levels. Not sure if we got unlucky, but both the food and the service left a sour taste in our mouths. -1 appetizer was brought twice to our table -I ordered the steak filet, which was perfectly cooked but had no taste -they did not have any meat cutting knife -a friend ordered the lamb dish, it was barely warm when it got to our table so we had to send it back On the plus side, we ordered a good bottle of wine (Chateau du Plessis 2007) and it was reasonably priced. Our waiter was friendly, perhaps too friendly as he used French slang words a lot.

    The pretty interior decoration - really the only reason to go here

    Lovely decor, horrible maitre d', mediocre drink options- that's how I would sum up this place. We went in for some drinks late afternoon, around 5:30 on a Sunday. The manager there told us it was "complet" and told us to sit at the bar. Mind you, there were only like 5 people downstairs and just a few people upstairs (it was pretty obvious the place was less than half-full!!!) We asked if we could sit upstairs (and no, we didn't speak English but in fluent French (well, my companion did)) so I don't think it was even the sort of obnoxious service you get for "looking like tourists.") He kept saying it was fully booked for dinner (starting around 20:00). We told him it is 17:30 now and we are just going to have drinks and will not stay till dinner time. But still no. The seating at the bar wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for all the stuff that was piled on top there. I was ready to just give up and sit there, but really, there wasn't even room to place my handbag on the counter top! And there were some dusty pieces of god knows what. After seeing me pushing around some stuff there just so I could sit, the manager finally relented and let us up to the third floor (or in French, the second floor). The waitress up there was actually quite friendly but by then we were not in a good mood from all the hassling we had to do downstairs. What's more is that there are not many wine options or tea options (I had a quick look at the food menu and it didn't look all that appealing either.) honestly, I don't understand what the big fuss about this place is. Yes, it's pretty with its Eiffel style and some impressive tiles (I think the only good thing I got out of the experience was a nice pic of my feet and the tiles), but putting up with horrible service (horrible even by Paris standards) and mediocre food and drink options just ruined everything. There are many other pretty places in Paris that don't come with a side of bad service. Will not be back.

    True blue French cuisine. Gourmet app.

    Beautiful ambience right in the middle of the Marais. Met a friend here after many years. Had wine at the upstairs bar with a couple of appetizers. Great place for people watching and also for quick service!

    Great decor, disappointing food and service. The menus were off, the one in English different from the one in French. The 2 menus had different prices for the same items. It took the server three tries to finally give us the correct menus. Then the food when it finally came: The parsnip soup was tasty but served lukewarm. The tiger prawns were served so lightly grilled that the interiors were raw and had to be sent back. We were seated near the bar which was a focal point of the room. Unfortunately the barmaid seemed tense and was banging things around. The manager was in the house but the service details were unfortunately not under control.

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!

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

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.
