The waiter tried to give us the worst table when we arrived and after much pleading, we were able to move. The restaurant was quasi empty at the time but because it was a Saturday night, he complained that he had to redo all of his planning... warning: they do not post on the wine menu that you can buy wine by the glass. After much debate with our friends as we each wanted different wines, we settled for two half bottles. One, the wine was horrible! It tasted like vinegar. Absolutely appalling! And we had to pay for it. We won't be back! read more

France, renowed for its high cuisine. So I had to taste it to believe it. This restaurant was my last stop of a 3 weeks trip. My relatives in France brought me to this place and hyped it up very much so I walked in with high expectations. And it did not disapoint. We were a table of 5, and we all opted for what I believe was the table d'hote, with 4 courses. This place is known for its delicious foie gras, and I do not exagerate. Entree consisted of various choices and I settled for a plate of foie gras while my brother had a plate of salmon with foie gras. Main course was lamb chops (perfectly cooked) and plate of beef. Then we had assorted cheeses (with many options). Then, last but not least, dessert. By then, we were already full, but dessert is dessert. I had the mille-feuille, which was also perfect. From this taste of authentic french cuisine, I can say that I left the country satisfied. Definitely one of the best meals I had in Europe. If your budget allows it (since it is quite expensive), it is worth a try, to get a taste of what French can cook! read more

I was in Paris for my honeymoon, and we were looking for an authentic French restaurant to end our week since we were so tired of the same types of food that was served at every cafe on every street in all the touristy areas; and I think we found it at Auberge des Charmettes! Every single thing that we ordered, I loved! I had chosen to order from the preset menu that had a great selection which included an appetizer, entree, fromage, and dessert, the husband decided to order À la carte since he was in a foie gras kind of mood which wasn't offered in the present menu. My Order - appetizer: tuna tartare with herbs on salmon carpaccio, olive oil, lemon - entree: crispy duck breast with foie gras - dessert: profiteroles house speciality with hot chocolate His Order - appetizer: house specialty foie gras - second appetizer: warm foie gras with caramelized apples - entree: seared filet of beef rossini - dessert: (he shared with me) Words can't even describe how amazing everything was, but if I had to rank the top 3 meals I've had in my ENTIRE life this meal would be in the top three for sure. It is that amazing! As for service, the people here are so nice, the owner went by every table to have conversations with everyone and not only did he do it just once, but he did it multiple times; on the floor making sure that everyone enjoyed their dining experience. (oh and btw, our bill came out to a total of 274 € = $385, which was worth every penny). read more

I took my good friends to this restaurant to say thank you for hosting us during our visit in France. We arrived at the time of the reservation and it was 1/3 full. Unfortunately we were seated next to the kitchen and needed to move. No big deal, we were accommodated. The meal was okay. I had a very good appetizer and red wine. We had a bottle of white that was too acidic and strong flavored which we sent back. Again, we were accommodated, no problem. My filet was a bit over cooked but still okay. The other dishes were good. When the desserts came it was disappointing. They were pre-made and had no crisp or crunch were you would expect. Not a big deal. The problem was the bill. They lost our ticket and gave us a much higher bill. Next there was a lot of scribbling and confusion and they overcharged. I was confused and dropped it since I was treating my friends and didn't want to argue with them. What should have been an excellent dinner was just okay AND I was robbed intentionally. Not going back there. read more
