First full meal in Paris, ever. This place was located directly across from our lodging for the week. Google gave it 4+ reviews, but the pre-Paris Youtube research suggested that menus in English were no-no's. The front of house was friendly, we were seated immediately as the doors just opened for the evening, but it soon became a full house within 30 minutes. We all spoke "0" French, but our server server spoke some English. Escargot, beef wrapped in puff pastry, fish of the day (cod), Pate, and something sauced (see photos). Writing this 10 days, post-trip. All the food was good, the cod was the highlight, perfectly cooked, crisp skin, tender inside. Very good bread, large Escargot. New Yorkers are a difficult audience to impress and we found ourselves comparing our 1st Paris restaurant and food to Balthazar. To calibrate, the tourist ratio seemed about the same, the food also very similar in quality, but not the menu, where Balthazar has a wider range. Again, the New York perspective influenced our experience significantly. Would recommend as a soft entry into Paris cuisine, from a NY-er perspective. Not expensive, all in about $200 for 4. We didn't order wine after the longish flight. Tax (VAT) and gratuity are included in France, but they will "offer" to let you add more for extra good service. Winky - wink. read more

Shocked at the low rating on here given the experience I had. Was given a tip to come here from a work colleague who lives here in Paris. Right when I arrived, there were no tables; however, the waitress/host that evening told me to have a glass of wine, and she'd get me the next table. It was gorgeous outside, so I was happy to accommodate. It wasn't even 10 minutes, and I had a great spot outside to have dinner. I let her choose my meal given how nice she was, and I'm so glad a did. I'd never have chosen the poached eggs with morels, but it was one of the best dishes I ate in my week in Paris. I hope I can try it again someday. I literally sopped up the entire thing with bread afterward. The garlic snails were very good. These larger ones were more tender than the small ones I'd been eating all week. The beef Bourgogne was rich and had a great depth of flavor. Pairing it with the mashed potatoes was perfect, and I finished the entire pot by myself. To finish, I had my favorite dessert: crème brûlée with a glass of calvados. Perfect ending to a phenomenal meal. The staff here were all incredible and made my night. I cannot wait to return. read more

Wow, an incredible start to our trip! The vol-au-vants are incredible, I should have ordered 2! We really enjoyed our entrees - beef bourginone and the feathered game pastry. Cocktails were delicious as well. Save room for the creme brûlée. Service was so great and I appreciate their kindness in our not being able to speak French, even asking if we prefer English menus. read more

Had a an amazing experience. Aurielie was our server and made the entire experience fun. Started with Poached Eggs and the most amazing Morelle Sauce, followed by Sol Meunière, Brandy and Profiteroles. She helped us start with a great Rose and into a Sancerre. The timing was impeccable, felt completely at home and with all the amazing places in Paris, will make this a return trip. read more

Lots of old reviews mentioning lackluster service but in our experience it was quite the opposite, although maybe they've taken those remarks to heart because it has improved drastically compared to what I've read here. The front-of-house staff spoke fluent French and English and our server took the time to explain the specials to us in English (the restaurant also has English printed menus). She also checked on us frequently and was generally very warm throughout. We came on a Saturday and it was quite busy, spending about 2.5 hours here and never feeling rushed. The ambiance is what you would expect at bistro and the food was good as well. We had the beef bourguignon w/ mashed potatoes and the vol-au-vent - both I would recommend, as I would this restaurant. read more

Very good service, and inside is quite nice. I got the fish of the day, the cabillaud (cod) which went with a nice white butter sauce, and a side of green beans. It was my first time trying escargot and while it wasn't bad I doubt I'll get it again. The crème brûlée was fantastic. read more

Everything was perfect from start to finish. We had a reservation for 7:45pm. The doors opened at 7:30 sharp and we were promptly seated. Our server was delightful. My wife and I are rough at best with our French and he was kind enough to go over the highlights of the menu and detailed the daily specials. We opted for the crayfish gratine to start. It was incredible. The mains were the morel linguine for my wife (see photo), and the daily special salmon for myself. My wife is contemplating giving her dish the all-time favorite stamp. My salmon was impeccable. We finished with the profiteroles (see video). This was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. When we were expecting our bill, the server brought us some Armagnac to help settle everything down. Cannot speak highly enough of our experience here. It will be an absolute must for anyone we know passing through Paris. read more

Aux Crus de Bourgogne - Linguine in morel sauce - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Decent food, but horrible service. Our server was rude the whole night, and acted like he didn't want to be there. When we told him that we were ready to order, he took 10 minutes to come back. We asked for the dessert menu, and he said to us "dessert? there's still a bit of food left". Why can't I have dessert despite leaving a little bit of fries?? If you want to eat here, make reservations. Walk-ins are limited, and a line forms at opening. Pretty noisy ambiance inside as tables are close to one another. read more

Our best meal so far in Paris! The atmosphere is warm and lovely, the food is stunning and our waitress was beyond patient and helpful! We got the beef Bourgogne (you must!), crayfish gratin, escargot and fish of the day and left so full and happy. The baguette was also fresh and a lovely addition. Bonus points for a stunning mocktail that this pregnant gal could enjoy. Couldn't recommend this restaurant highly enough. read more

If you enjoy having bugs in your food, then come here. There was a storm and a million little flies flew into the restaurant. The flies were all over the food, wine, glasses, and people. They were biting us too. The staff were incredibly rude and told everyone to just ignore them and had an attitude when people complained. Food was way too salty as well. read more

Walkable from our hotel and surprisingly ate here on our last day of our trip! Of course ordered the beef bourguigon and frites and and hubs got the escargot which was deeply flavored with butter and garlic, and he def enjoyed them. Service was wonderful and def noticed locals eating here as well! Glad we tried it on our way out and would def come back and recommend to others! read more

Excellent French food, English speaker friendly with a menu in English. Came here on a Tuesday evening in the winter with my French friend. He can be picky and is sensitive to places for tourists, but he loved his meal here. It was a thank you for hosting me in his apartment, so I was very happy that he liked it. So if you want to thank your French host or French friends, lunch or dinner here could be a good option. Greeting was warm and friendly. To start, I ordered une moresque, which is a french cocktail made with Ricard liqueur which is anise flavor, so if you like anise or licorice, this is a great classic drink to have, although you usually have it in the summer. We didn't have a first course, but we saw other folks have some and they looked great. I had the vol au vent which was a savory mushroom filling inside great pastry, served with some fresh greens dressed in french mustard flavored sauce. My friend had a special which was fish and mushrooms served with a brown sauce and potato puree with butter. We both had a glass of wine with dinner - white for me and red for him. The other dishes he recommended were the specials and the chicken with yellow wine. I was thinking of steak au poivre, but he said I could get that anywhere, better to get something more special. For dessert, he had the Baba au Rhum - a nice cake that they pour the rum over at the table - he asked for lots of rum and it was swimming in it. I had the "omelet norvégienne" and I highly recommend it. It's a French version of Baked Alaska with the meringue on the outside, inside is red cake with some ice cream. When they serve it they pour the orange liqueur Grand Mariner over it and light it on fire. The alcohol mostly burns off and after you blow it out the orange flavor mixed with the meringue is heavenly. In the winter we were able to arrive for our 7:30 reservation a little late and stay until 10:30 pm since it was not full, but I think at other times it is busy with two seatings so you must arrive on time and leave before the second 9:30pm seating. We loved our experience and would return, I can confidently recommend it. read more

The Perfect Paris Bistro. Nice, old school bistro perfect for lunch, dinner or something in-between in the 2nd. We picked this place because it is a short walk to the Palais Royal, but what happened next made us glad we were there. We were a little late for our reservation due to stand-still traffic and our Uber driver dropping us off two blocks away. "No problem" from the host, as we were greeted warmly and seated. After we ordered, an older, dapper gentleman came in with his adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. What did the wait staff do immediately after he was seated and before taking his order? They brought the dog a bowl of water. Maybe he was a regular, but we have been traveling to France for over thirty years, and while it is common for the French to bring their dogs to restaurants, this was the first time we ever saw a restaurant serve the dog. This set the tone for a wonderful lunch. Started with a nice amuse bouche of pork rillette, followed by frisée, lardon and oeuf poche salad for my wife; steak onglet and frites for me. All perfect. A couple of glasses of Bordeaux and we were set for our leisurely lunch. A couple of cafe cremes and a complimentary petit glass of calvados and we were done. I wanted desert, but after two weeks of gorging my stomach said no. We will eat again, and we will visit Aux Cru de Bourguignon the next time we are in Paris. read more

Among the best single plates of food I have ever consumed. The Boeuf Bourguignon. I will dream about this meal. God willing, I will dine there again. I had mine with frites. It was perfect. Also... service was top tier. Choreographed almost. We went there for lunch. Full course and wine will run you about 50 Euros. read more

I have been to better places (Au Pied de Cochon, Weplers, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, Maxine's, etc.) and I've eaten at places where the food and service is not nearly as good as here (Le Quasimodo Notre Dame, L'Alsace, Café Le Dome, Benoit, etc.). I lived in Paris for nearly a year and I've visited here half a dozen times since, without once having a kitchen, so I have Eaten Out AT A LOT of Places in Paris. And Aux Crus de Bourgogne is one of the better places in town for a typical "Locals" Parisian Bistro lunch. Like most nicer restaurants in Paris this one is pretty expensive. But you get what you pay for here, unlike in the tourist traps. Expect to drop at least a hundred dollars here for two; and more if you drink a couple of bottles of wine. But that's pretty much what every nice place costs (unless you eat at a Left Bank Brasserie or are lucky enough to discover an excellent mom & pop place). Most food anywhere in Paris is pretty much delicious - and almost always overpriced - so if you find a great place that fits your budget, then go there often - become a regular, even if you are only in Paris for a week. Aux Crus de Bourgogne is such a place. Its hours are strange. It's only open for two hours for lunch and three hours for dinner, so its pretty much all about eating here. Don't expect to drink a bunch of aperitifs and three bottles of wine while you nibble on five or six plates of food. It's just not that leisurely a place. But if three hours is long enough for you then a meal here will be a well-spent "C-Note" (or two). read more

Brusque rushed service, we barely sat down at our table then the waitress with an attitude was there to impatiently take our order, food arrived two minutes later. Steak was cold, sauce starting already to congeal. Beautiful restaurant, it's a pity. experience ruined by the waitress. Overpriced, rest of food was average. Would not recommend. read more

Aux Crus de Bourgogne - French Near Me - Paris, 75

We were staying a couple blocks away and our hotel concierge sent us here and we loved it! The staff was really special and friendly. It was our big night out and I'm so glad we got to eat here on our short trip! It's such a cute area and it doesn't feel touristy at all. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like French food! The snails were perfect! read more

Aux Crus has some of the best escargot in Paris. The snails are unbelievably tender but with a slight bite. They are not drenched in butter but there is the perfect amount to pour/dip your bread into. That garlic parsley butter retains the bite of the garlic, rounding out the dish with spiciness. The escargot are top quality and so is their method of cooking. They present the snails in their shells with escargot tongs, making the dining experience truly special. I found Aux Crus through a Vogue guide to Paris; although clientele are chic but the atmosphere is not stuffy. One of the best bistros in Paris. read more

Went here after a reservation at another restaurant fell through. Service was excellent, and the food was likely excellent by French standards, however the main course was a bit too raw for my tastes. The aperitifs were salad which came with a nice soft cheese on top (perhaps camembert) and Corsican meats. Both top notch. The main courses included scallops and gras. I can't tell you exactly what I ordered since I can't remember, and I can't say I loved either of the dishes (the scallops were partly uncooked, though on purpose). However their dessert was awesome. We had chocolate mousse. Would I go back here again, yes, though I would order something else. Definitely a great French experience restaurant. Oh, and this is a somewhat expensive venue... We spent about 50€ each, including a bottle of wine... The location pretty nice and there are generally some people walking buy at all times, though not annoyingly a lot... (we sat outside). read more

Pure bistro mediocrity and monstrously overpriced. Good service was the only redeeming feature. The snails were acceptable. The pasta wad blah. The pork pate was bland. The bread was neither hot nor crusty. The wine was ok. 12 of us paid €600. There's much better out there for the price. read more

Avoid. Owner sits at front of restaurant and smokes all night. Wait staff are embarrassed and apologize for him. Very expensive to have your meal spoiled. read more
