Espresso after a good meal..
Mike P.

Came in here to just get a quick snack. They had a special for about 16 euro for salad, meal, & dessert. No salad came (only realized this till after). My meal was the fish and chips, only had one filet. Guess that was due to it being a value meal, prob should've got the regular fish and chips instead. Took such a long time to getting the desert ordered and receiving it. Wife got the creme brulee in few minutes which was cool, but my coffee took such an unusual time. Even the patrons around me all got their coffee. I finally got my coffee, but was ready to get out of there. Service could be a LOT better...

Lunch

This old restaurant has modernized and improved. Not a fancy place with a very bad rating. I still think that it worth going for a quick lunch. Of course you must like mussels otherwise is not your kind place. The side salad,be prepared to get a tiny tiny salad by american standards. Beer are very good. Very pleasant out door sitting.

Steamed mussels
Lily Y.

Pretty average restaurant. You come here to eat the mussels! The original steamed mussels with butter and herbs is good. Very fresh. The paella-like one with rice and spices was alright. The flavors were potent but not sure they went very well together. It was kind of bitter. There were also bits of sand/small pieces of shell that were in the rice mixture so it was kind of difficult to eat. Overall, it's not bad. Pretty average meal.

Look at their salad. They are using old greens. It doesn't even taste delicious. Waste of money.

The "Belgian"
Stephanie C.

Got the menu for 11.90 euros with a salad, the house mussels, and the Belgian dessert mix. Portions were very large and delicious. Service was pretty quick, although my friends had some problems with communication with the server, who didn't speak the best English. Cute decor.

Great staff, God food good selection of beer. Nice place to sit outside and people watch

Portions are massive!! I couldn't even finish my order..

The mussels were delicious. But, service was a bit spotty with a somewhat rude waitress.

It was good fish and chips. Don't expect to take your food "a emporter," because they don't serve to go.

Moules marinere for lunch is a good value. Comes with salad and dessert. Service is good but not always expedient.

Brasserie Bellanger - Couldn't decide between the Bernaise sauce or garlic herb butter so got both!

How was flying out Charles de Gaulle Airport the next day and I just arrived from Frankfurt Germany…read moreby train when I looked up a French restaurant near the Gard du Nords train station and found BB. Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. 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. Cheers!

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.

This restaurant is really big. There's outdoor seating, and indoors on a first and second floor. As seen by my food pics, everything was delish. Our servers were Kylian and Marie-Alix, both of which were very friendly and attentive; having great servers just closes out a great experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We started with Oeufs mayonnaise, which is a hard boiled egg topped with mayo. This was quite a simple dish, but definitely got us prepped for the meal. They initially made a mistake on our order and sent us the veal fingers. After rectifying the mistake, they ended up comping it, so we got an additional appetizer to try. The fried fish went well with the tartar sauce. For the mains, we got the bavette frites with bearnaise sauce and steak tartare with frites. Both dishes were delicious and satisfying, the flavors were excellent and each bite had me wanting more. If you haven't tried tartare before, give it a try here because it was delish! For dessert, we shared the Paris-Brest, a choux pastry topped with mousseline, pralines and roasted hazelnuts. We enjoyed sharing it and it made for a sweet end to our dinner. Overall, this was a great meal to start our trip, everything we had was delicious and my expectations were met!

We dined here last night upon a recommendation from my wife's boss. This was a great little spot…read more Small dining area downstairs with a little spiral staircase leading up to 2 more small dining rooms. The staff was all very friendly and inviting and were happy to recommend their favorite dishes to us. My wife ordered a French onion soup and one of their famously large salads, which are served in these big bowls. I decided to try the chef's special, which was a beef tenderloin a la rossini (truffle sauce and foie gras). I'm not typically a foie gras fan, but I figured since we're in Paris that I'd give it a shot. I'm very glad I did because it was absolutely delicious. The steak melded perfectly with the truffle sauce and fois gras. This was all served with potatoes au gratin, and blanched green beans. Everything was perfect. I also ordered two large beers. A Grimbergin blonde and a Kronenbourg ale. I love how both beers were served in their respective brand's glasses. Such a nice touch. For dessert, we ordered an Apple Tarte Tartin, upon a recommendation from one of the staff. It was light, sweet, and served with some ice cream and créme fraîce. This was such a great dinner all around. Great food, great vibes, which all lead to a great evening. Would definitely recommend!

I admit, I'm not very adventurous with food and don't care for traditional French food, so I had the grilled salmon, which was delicious. My husband, who does enjoy traditional French food, had the cassoulet with beans, sausage, and duck confit. He absolutely LOVED his meal and said it was probably the best meal he had while in Paris. And to complete our meal, we finished off with crème brûlée -- yum! [Yelp collections: Europe 2024; Paris, France]

**EXCELLENT WINES AND SIMPLE RUSTIC FRENCH CUISINE**…read more Wonderfully friendly staff. Welcomed immediately with a glass of red wine. Very small restaurant. No tourists; only locals and repeat French customers. We sat outside. ORDERED: *FOIE GRAS House made and simply DIVINE on freshly toasted baguette bread. I wanted to take a bath in this. OMG! *DUCK CONFIT Beautiful leg served with scalloped potatoes. The meat could have been a bit more tender, but overall a good solid entree. *FRUIT TART Good, but not great. The pastry could have baked a bit longer. Loved the sweet plums though. We also ordered a bottle of their excellent Cabernet France for 17 euros. My darling didn't care for their espresso and I was not impressed with their version of a cappuccino. Dinner altogether was 73 euros. OTHER NOTES ============= Some of their staff members are from Le Mascote restaurant, but since the restaurant is currently closed; they cooked and served here. Same quality of food; cheaper in price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the wine, foie gras, and any seafood dish. They have great daily specials.

The menu consists of typical French fare with your duck confit and your steak tartar etc. The wine is sold by volume and all priced at the same rate. Bulk of the other clientele consists of local repeat customers, as we saw a lot of them greeting the bar tender affectionately. For lunch, we had the duck confit and the Lyon sausages (one of the day's specials). The waiter recommended a strong red wine to go with the duck and a lighter, younger chilled red to go with the sausages. He hit it spot on in terms of the pairing. Both main courses were simple and delicious. We ended our meal with wonderful house-made chocolate mousse. Having stumbled onto this little place on the last day of our week long trip in Paris, we were pleasantly surprised with our wonderful experience at Le Colibri. Simple and authentic, this is definitely our favourite place to eat in Paris.
