We were already staying at the hotel so we figured why not stop in for some food. The decor and…read morelighting is really nice. I enjoy the atmosphere and the feeling of the restaurant. In regards to the food, it was just ok. Nothing special and nothing that made us want to return. I liked the kindness of the staff there, they were helpful and accommodating. I will definitely come back to stay at the hotel but outside of drinks, not sure I would come here for food.

The hotel is just "ok". Two single beds are pushed together to look like a king. But, you will sink…read morein the middle if you like the middle of the bed. There is no iron or ironing board on the premises. Not good if you are fresh off the plane and need to attend any business meetings. The shower room is what gives this a 2 star and not a 1 star. The shower is impeccable and is beat after a long day in Paris or at the office. The toilet is a small closet that most Americans will find very small. The staff is decent. Wifi is free but does not work very well. You will have to login just about every time.

The actual cruise was very nice but there were some items that Would have been nice to know…read morebeforehand. 1: although you pay for the meal with the cruise there are zero beverages with it (even water) which is an additional expense 2: there is an expensive photographer roaming the boat who asks to take your picture. The cost is $100. The pictures themselves were awkward. For example they took us upstairs to get a picture with the Eiffel Tower lit up behind us but the tower did not show up on any of the pictures. 3: do not get a vegetarian meal...it was just the veggies from the normal meals wrapped in poor pastry and without any seasoning. For example, ours was unsalted turnips and carrots. Overall, the food was ok, the view was great but would've enjoyed some commentary on the sites and a heads up on the additional expenses

A colleague of mine dragged us across town for dinner after a conference yesterday, he was raving…read moreabout the place. On arrival I thought this would be a typical Franch brasserie, cozily decorated with friendly waiters. It turned out to be a tapas place, which I'm not a big fan of. They have set menus as well as a la carte. The set menus are prepared for the whole table and in our case contained a variety of dishes including meat, fish and asparagus. There was one main course in the menu, and we had the choice between duck breast of fish. But boy this was good food, very interesting creations (chocolate samosas, deep fried asparagus etc.) and loads of it as well. Accompanied by nice wines, this was one of the best meals I had in Paris. Absolutely recommend this to everyone. The bill came to an acceptable 230 Euros, for 4 that is including 2 bottles of wine.

We made reservations for 8pm for their prix fixe menu (a special menu for NYE, about €68 pp). When we arrived, we were greeted and quickly seated to a table decorated perfectly for the holiday: with party hats and horns! We got some wine and the amuse bouches was served very quickly after that: one crostini with a salmon spread and caviar, and some other type of delightful savory pastry. The came the huge TOWER of appetizers! The chef herself, Flora Mikula, came out to greet us and explain each item on the tower. There were oysters, shrimp, an egg appetizer, pumpkin soup, foie gras and so much more! Everything was extremely delicious, and I couldn't believe that there was so much of it. After the tower of amazing apps, we were served scallops over risotto. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the risotto was creamy, light and not over-seasoned. The main course was also delicious and by the time it came around, I could barely stomach half of it! I was so full! Dessert was a series of sweet appetizers: a little chocolate cake, mango ice with fruit salad and two mousse-like apps. All delicious. We loved the place and atmosphere so much, that we loittered drinking more wine and coffee until midnight, when the place erupted into cheers and music. Auberge Flora offers an intimate dining experience, with satisfying food & amazing personality. The service is spot on and I can't wait to visit again on my next trip to Paris!
