The food was really good.The service is fast and the server is nice and friendly. Highly recommended to check place if you're in Paris, France
This place is the French version of "Cheers". Fabulous authentic bistro in a working class neighborhood of Paris. The food is solid bistro fare. Nothing fancy. The atmosphere is nothing special. The bar is a neighborhood hangout and everyone seemed to know each other. Some of the regulars were American expatriates as well, all fluent in French and enjoying the give and take with the owners and other customers. The food focused on classics. We had the foie gras, escargot, confit de canard and cassoulet. Our kids just wanted plain burgers and they had that too. For dessert we had the basque cake and the most alcoholic baba au rhum I've ever eaten. Delicious. Highly recommended for a modest lunch or dinner and a view of real Paris.
We were looking for a restaurant within walking distance to the Eiffel tower so we could check out the light show after and found this place on Yelp. It is definitely more of a locals spot which really appealed to me since most of our meals to this point were at pricier venues. The place was filled with locals but we were welcomed in by the waiter/manager who spoke passable English. It is not a very big place and the tables are kind of crammed in there but it definitely has a lot of charm. The prices here are very reasonable - as a matter of fact it may have been our cheapest meal in Paris. The menu does have some English translation but it is not very descriptive so it is better to just use your Google translator. I started with the French Onion soup and it was hearty and delicious. It was at a perfect temperature - not boiling hot like some other places we had it at. I had to go with the traditional French comfort dish - Beef Bourgignon and it did not disappoint. Rich bourgingon sauce over egg noodles really warmed the palate as well as the soul. Drinks here are also extremely reasonable although the glasses are tiny so you have to order more. We wanted to buy a bottle of wine to bring to the Parc du Champ de Mars and watch the lights. The owner thankfully said it would be much cheaper to buy one at the market down the block. Great hospitality! Overall this was probably one of my favorite meals in Paris. This place is simple, no frills, but really gives you a small taste of how locals dine in Paris.
This place serves really delicious food. Takes credit card too.We came here about 20minutes before their advertised closing time, however it seems like they are very relaxed with their closing time. We left close to 11 and it appears more people were still coming in. They serve tons of alcohol especially various beers, and wines. During our meal, it was fairly warm inside. I don't think they have AC inside because the outside weather was much cooler than inside. We ordered the boneless duck which was surrounded with potatoes, string beans, carrots. We ordered the pepper sauce which taste very good and had peppercorn on the very bottom of the sauce. The other dish we ordered was the steak. It came with fries and a small salad. The steak was okay, but hardy. Can't say much bad things about it. Beef was cooked medium which was what I ordered. However the duck was cooked medium when we requested well done. Must have been the day that prevented the meat to be a bit more rare. Why 4 stars than 5? My wife got sick from her meal. Maybe something was not cooked properly. Otherwise, the food here is good. Their drink selections are wide as well. Many locals come here for drinks and food. Must be a good spot. Must give this place a try. Worth it! Cheers!
Very interesting place here and I have a lot to say! When in Paris I took the recommendation of my fellow Yelpers to try this place out. I wanted something close to the center of town, but also something that had good reviews. I looked and found Au Dernier Metro and said, lets give it a try. Being that it was a Saturday night I thought it would be pretty busy so I went to the website and noticed you could make a reservation. I made a reservation and my group went here. We walked from Eiffel Tower which was about a 10 minute walk. When you walk past this place there is only a very small sign that says what this place is called. We went inside and told the guy working we made a reservation. He quickly told us they are not accepting reservations. I told him I did them online and he again said they do not allow people to make reservations for the weekend. I showed him it and like some French he was rude and said no. Why the hell do you have a place on the website to make reservations when you don't honor them? We decided to stay anyway and got a table. The menu is in English and French which is nice. The food is not bad priced, but the menu can be very confusing. Make sure you know exactly what you are going to order. I decided to get Trio of Sausages which were pretty good. Not a ton of flavor but good. Two of my friends ordered a filet of duck breast. We found it weird when they asked how we like it cooked and they said rare was the preferred way of eating it. When there food came out it looked like steak, tasted like steak and after much examining we can say it was for sure beef and not duck. We told the waiter and he got super super defensive about this. This place is just trying to rip people off and up sell them on something that is not what they have. It was not a good piece of meat and it smelled, tasted, and was beef. Got the Creme Brulee for dessert and it was not very good. You can tell it was not very fresh. Overall this place is just okay! Nothing to try again, but nothing to be to upset about. I thought the service was not the best, and they have a weird way of treating there customers. Lot's of places in Paris and don't think I'll ever come back to this one!
Late dinner time around the Eiffel Tower and we were struggling to find a place open at night close by but still affordable. This tourist friendly bistro/brasserie had more reasonably priced entrees, although our bill did come out to be about 60-70€. The interior isn't large so the server had to move the table out to let us sit. The smokers were forced to smoke outside, but all the cigarette smoke leaked inside anyway, so they might as well have smoked indoors. My dad and I each ordered a 25 cl of the Picon Biere, which was very sweet and not too hoppy, just how I like it. It was 4.40€ but could have been cheaper if we drank it at the bar. We ordered some food to go with our beers: Beef tartare The Burger One of the charcuterie boards (can't remember which one) All the dishes were cheap, simple, tasty and filled us up. We were tired so we turned down dessert. Oh and free wifi! We got by without buying a phone plan for 10 days in Europe and free wifi is a must in every restaurant we go to.
I wanted to try Parisian duck and found this place from Yelp. This place is probably a popular neighborhood dive bar. Packed with locals, Au Dernier Metro is warm, inviting and friendly. We had a problem finding the door and the nice locals opened the door for us. They were sitting by the door and almost blocked the entrance. We were seated right and away and given English menu. The other customers moved their table so I could sit down. Yes, the tables were so close together. I am talking about inches away from each other. You are literally rubbing elbows with them :) The steaklet of duck with honey sauce (15,20 €): the duck filet is cut in criss-cross pattern. Not too bad. Beef steak (14,80 €): the steak was cooked perfectly and the pepper sauce was pretty strong. Stella Artois (3,40 €): beer is cheaper than water LOL That is a great excuse to drink. Eaux minerale (6,00 €): giant bottle of H2O. QUICK TIP: LESS THAN 1 MINUTE WALK FROM THE METRO. 3 stars!! Au Dernier Metro is almost yummylicious!!
Really enjoyed visiting this restaurant a few years ago. It was our first meal in Paris after a long travel day and it was amazing . Everything was SO fresh. The service was fast as well. Everyone speaks English which is super helpful! I absolutely loved this restaurant and it will filled with locals- happy to get away from the more touristy places!
We started our meal with one of the best salads I've ever eaten. And surprisingly. Mixed with the greens was roasted potatoes, bacon, tomato and cheese. This combination was so delicious. We all loved this salad and with the tomatoes and luscious mozzarella next to it, our first course was complete. We had the veal chop, amazing, with mashed potatoes and possibly the best mushrooms we've ever eaten. So tender, cooked probably slow and long. Duck with grilled veggies was very good. And the beef with fries was a bit tough. The desserts were off the charts. Crème brûlée was right on track. Chocolate mousse was the best we ever had!!!
Au Dernier Metro served as one of our first Paris Brasseries while in town recently. We had just wrapped up a 3 hour bike tour of the City on our first day in Paris and we were STARVING. You'll find that Metro serves mostly locals, but they do have a menu in English and the service was kind and patient with us yankee tourists. If I wasn't so tired from the long flight and tour, we probably would have stuck around for a few more rounds of french beer. If you are ever in the 15th Arrondisement near the foot of the Rue de Commerce shopping district, give this place a try.
Came here during an off peak meal time - around 2:30 pm on a Tuesday. There were only a handful of locals there so we got to choose our seat. Staff seemed disinterested in us at first but was still helpful - she seemed to be the only one there too, manning both the bar and tables. She spoke English, took our orders, and checked on us every now and then. She became friendlier throughout our meal - maybe it was less busy?? I ordered the duck breast and honey sauce, which came with roasted vegetables. It was easily one of the best meals and most affordable I had in Paris! The duck was cooked medium, skin crispy. It's not too far from the Eiffel Tower. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're visiting.
This review is only for the bar/drinks. Although even though we came around midnight, people were still coming in for dinner. We sat at the bar and inquired about the drink menu. Well there is no official menu, just what is written on the chalkboards. We wanted cocktails but there was only beer and wine. I tried the house sangria and it rivaled the sangria I had in Spain. My friends wanted margaritas, which the bartender was able to make but there were no margarita glasses and they had to apply salt and lime to the rim themselves by hand (lol) and they costed 10 euros. So probably not the best idea. The bartender was super nice though and gave us shots on the house. Great spot conveniently located a few minutes walk from the tour eiffel.

Had a family dinner here for our last night in Paris since we were looking for authentic French food. The outdoor area is super cute and well decorated (like most Parisian restaurants), and I liked the green accent colors they used. The place had groups sitting down having a good time, ambiance was nice. For the food we ordered the pig ears starter. We didn't expect the ear to arrive cut up and it tasted mostly fatty. I ordered the Bascou burger, and wasn't impressed by it. It had a small patty, was kind of dry, and the side salad was some lettuce and a pinch of sliced carrots. My mom got the duck breast and said it was fine but not amazing. Service was incredibly nice and also pretty quick. Overall: wasn't impressed by the food. The ambiance was the best part of the restaurant. read more

Great breakfast for a really cheap price! A ridiculous amount of food for a small amount of money...of course I did not find till our last day in Paris!! And they take American Express!! Service was great also, very nice and spoke enough English to communicate everything we needed to have a great meal. View is not the best but you can do a lot of people watching as you are directly across from metro. read more

My last night in Paris and I needed get in an early dinner so could pack and leave first thing in the morning. The other two restaurants near me were full so, this was my final option. What a great surprise! This place is a gem! The waiter was so nice as we ordered our drinks. Going through the menu, all the dishes were in French and it seems as if they've got every type of meat selection you cam think of. I ordered the Veal and mom ordered the Shrimp. My dish came in a very hot ceramic with an amazing sauce with vegetables. On the same platter was a creamy bed of mashed potatoes. C'est magnifique!! Mom's shrimp dish rested on a bed rice and French green beans. She loved the dish and mentioned that it's going to be difficult to go back to America after having such wonderful food! I agree! What I love about these French cafès or bistros is the atmosphere. The row of tables under the awning so close to each other so you can connect with others. Every restaurant was like that for me, and this place wasn't so different. So, if you're in the mood for a great French cuisine and a nice place to eat at, make a stop here and enjoy! Bon Appetit! :) read more

Looks like it would be touristy with poor food because it is so close to the monuments but it is not. The food is great, straight forward French, drinks are good and the staff is pleasant. If you're hungry and around the area, great spot to grab a drink/bite. read more

Friendly and faster service than some of the other French restaurants we have been to. Good atomosphere. Prices are very reasonably. Only $15 for duck steak, which was very good. We got both the pepper and honey sauces for our ducks, and the honey sauce was definitely the winner. Duck dishes get 4.5/5 stars. The country plate had boudin, sausage, and a duck wing, all on top of a bed of buttery mashed potatoes (4/5 stars). Somewhat disappointed by the roasted chicken plate though. Chicken was well seasoned, but came with a side of fries instead of veggies. I guess we should have confirmed with waiter before we ordered. And finally, the tap beer was a winner. read more

We came here after reading past reviews! Great local neighbor place, were the locals know each other and the staff. French speaking only but we both tried our best to communicate with each other carpaccio with parm chips, salad and "chips" with a glass of wine. We sat on the front and watch the locals greet and chat with each other. Close to the metro and open late!! read more

Our first meal in Paris was here. It's a tiny little bar(that serves food) really. My guy had duck with potatoes and I had a salad that had in it huge chunks of blue cheese, potatoes, thinly sliced bacon and a poached egg. Yum. read more

My wife and I woke up from a nap after a long flight. There weren't too many restaurants still opened at 11PM. We decided to try Au Dernier Métro a try because it was open late. We walked to the door and was greeted by a friendly waitress. She sat us down and gave us a few minutes to decide on what to order. My wife and I ordered the Metro Board which consisted of bacon, sausages, and pâté. The meat were so tasty! We also ordered the duck cooked medium rare. It came out juicy and flavorful. Every bite felt like it was the best thing we've ever tasted. The atmosphere was perfect. Music was playing in the background, locals were chit chatting with one another. I highly recommend stopping by for a few drinks and some good eats. read more

Stumbled on this first night in Paris. Wonderful food and staff, made us welcome and helped with suggestions and insights as to the Saturday night crowd of men and motorbikes. We loved the food and the staff. Had a good time people watching from the outside tables. Would go there next trip to Paris as well. read more

Very local feel to this brasserie. Lovely meal! Staff was friendly even though I was alone and wanted to dine early American time (6:30? Oh mon Dieu!). Plat du jour was a chicken with herbs and it was very nice. Great wine selection. Not many tables so if there is room stop in! read more

We gave up queuing at Le Volant Basque as it would take 40 minutes waiting without reservation. We went to this restaurant just searching on yelp. It is really a good food experience in Paris. The place was full of locals and many of them watched soccer match there. The staff Eduando is very kind in service and recommendation of food and wine. We ordered duck steaklet as per yelpers' advice, and beef steak braised with champagne and red wine of fleury suggested by Eduando. It turned out that all the orders are perfect. Eduando is helpful in caring my duck steaklet as I ordered it well done but it was served with bloody meat like medium?! He immediately brought it to the kitchen and returned me well-done duck steak. It was enjoyable. read more

I came looking for a night spot near the Eiffel Tower to eat. And it couldn't have been any better. Very laid back and chill spot. Closes later than most places. You can ask for the Menu in English and waiters are nice here. The Burger with the Sunnyside egg and fries is my first choice !!! Then the Steak was OKAY. I would definitely do the burger and also the Duck looks good. I didn't try but it seems like it's the regular here. PS The St. Erwann IPA goes hand in hand with the meal lol read more
Went here for a late dinner .It's a lively locals pub by night locals...with lots of bar conversation and laughter. Service was friendly and fast. Food was above average for a pub - highly recommend their creme brûlée for dessert! read more

So glad we stopped here. There was a soccer game going on so the locals were representing. Great atmosphere and the food was amazing for technically bar food. I got the steak and fries and we decided to get a bottle since it was $24 euros and enjoy the rest of the night here! Would recommend for friends, couples and groups! read more
