    Escargot and Salmon over polenta
    Danielle G.

    Walking thru this lovey neighborhood in the 9th Arr. on my first night in Paris. I found this local gem, quintessential Parisian cafe. People sitting outside drinking and smoking on this cold winter night, they were very busy. The waiter was so friendly and seating us immediately. I order their salmon over polenta and it just was wonderful, But barely could finish it, after first having the traditional escargot and bread omg so delicious. I highly recommend this cafe, great service and food, that isn't over priced.

    The best Parasian cafe there is in Paris!! The food is pretty cheap considering its food quality and taste, but not Bouillon cheap. Very cozy and warm type atmosphere inside; the host and waiters were extremely helpful and friendly towards my friends and I. We both got the duck confit (our absolute favorites), les escargots, and crème brûlée. The duck confit was so crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside. Ugh I can literally taste it while typing this up!! I've been to Paris 4 times and every time I've been there I've eaten at this place because it reminds me "home" (my international home) and literally has THE best French food. Definitely check out this place if you're in Paris!

    Update: We decided to come back on our last night here. It's close our hotel, and the food is good. What a different experience, and not in a good way! We were promptly seated (don't need reservations here, which is nice), but were ignored for nearly a half an hour while locals who sat down after us were attended to. Perhaps they're not fond of tourists tonight? When we finally were able to place our order, we got a bowl of French onion soup, and two duck confits. As before, the food was delicious! Unfortunately, we didn't get to finish the soup though. It was taken before we were done. Literally while we were taking a bite, with the explanation that the waitress had already put our dinners in, so we "had" to be done. Seriously?? Would really liked to have finished that soup... After that, I just wanted to leave, so we finished up pretty quick. Not sure if I would come back again... Some of the best food for value we found in Paris, and one of the most pleasant dining experiences as well! We stopped in after a very long day, and we're both tired and hungry. We were promptly (and excellently!) taken care of by Luciana. After ordering our wine -- and getting an excellent recommendation -- we ordered the roasted chicken and the duck confit for dinner. They were both delicious! Moist meat, well seasoned, yummy potatoes. We also ordered a cheese plate. It was good as well. Luciana gave us multiple recommendations for dinner, drinks, and treats in different areas of town, and chatted with us for awhile. For the experience and food, I would definitely come back, and recommend.

    Nestled in the heart of the 9th arrondissement, Bo Man Cafe sports your usual fare of entrecôte, penne and salad dishes. That's not to say they're not perfectly well done though. We had a very good lunch experience here, accentuated by the late 90s soundtrack playing on the sound system. Pricing is super low for a Parisian cafe as well. Recommended.

    This is my second time to Bo Man. It's just a few minutes walk from one of my fav hotels, Hotel Joyce. The 9th is a mellow area too. This is also the second time I've had the roast chicken with mashed potatoes. Is it me or does everything taste better in Paris? The chicken (10€) is amazing. And the pan juices with the mashed potatoes are delicious. Finished off with the molten chocolate cake. Cliche, I know. But last time I had the creme Brûlée which was also good. Enjoyed a glass Cote du Rhone (2€50). Really affordable and a much more authentic or neighborhood Paris feel than the touristy areas. Seconds walk from Saint George line. Dessert, dinner and wine €19.50. Friendly service too.

    Nice place to chill with friends

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.

Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated right away. 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.

    This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had…read more We arrived while the kitchen was closed and were told it would reopen at 7:00 p.m. We waited over two hours specifically so we could eat at this restaurant because it had been recommended by our hotel. When the restaurant reopened, things only got worse. Our party of five was first told we didn't have a reservation and then was offered a table for four right by the entrance. We were later offered a high-top table, but I explained that I had recently undergone knee surgery and could not sit comfortably at a high-top. The manager's response was simply that it was the only option available, and she walked away. We were told the preferred tables were reserved. When I asked if we could make a reservation for one of those tables, I was told no because the restaurant had just reopened. The entire interaction left us feeling unwelcome. A customer sitting at the bar even commented that he believed we were being treated differently and said it appeared the restaurant did not want us there. After waiting more than two hours just for the restaurant to reopen, this was an incredibly disappointing experience. The poor communication, lack of accommodation, and overall service were unacceptable. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

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.
