Bring your wallet. You have been warned. Located in the Intercontinental Le Grand, this cozy restaurant is nice for lunch or dinner. The decor is lovely, even down to the toile on the chairs. I could imaginr imagine this as a nice spot for drinks or coffee and dessert before or after the opera. It is quite expensive, as most plates are over $30 euro. My daughter had avocado toast and enjoyed it. (Almost US $40!) My French onion soup was delicious, but $25 EUROS!!!!! All servers have been wonderful and very attentive. Bring your wallet. You have been warned. read more

This started off a little odd because the hours did not seem to match reality. Their website spoke of a 7 AM coffee/croissant offering on the terrace, but when we got there there was only a buffet and at 8 AM they let us in to be seated for a non-buffet selection. I am sure it was my mistake, but just a little confusing. We opted for a lite break at with a three piece basket that included a croissant, a pain du chocolate and a roll. This came with one orange juice and one warm beverage but our server just added my extra coffee and juice as well as an extra croissant I requested. They are know as one of the better croissants in town and I believe they deserve that recognition. So light, flaky and buttery I just wanted more and more. The service was great and the ambience was that of being in a gorgeous museum/ five star hotel. I highly recommended stopping in for the coffee and pastry but they have warm egg dishes as well. read more

Café de la Paix - One of the best croissants I have ever tasted. - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Inside the Intercontinental Grand, Cafe de la Paix has been around since 1862. The place is pretty, feels historic and a lot of the menu seems pretty timeless as well. The french onion soup is super rich and is from the restaurant opening. But the seafood bar is really the highlight for apps, and we tried a bouquet of shrimp which didn't disappoint. The touredos of beef with bernaise sauce was probaby our fave, although the steamed cod and beef tartare were also solid. Good wine selection and a nice escape from the bustling streets outside. read more

Conveniently located next to Palais Garnier and a metro stop, Café de la Paix was easy to find and seated us right away on a Thursday morning. We had a croissant, pain au chocolat, crème brûlée, a hot chocolate, and coffee. The food and drinks were pretty average and it cost 40€. Creme brûlée was pretty good, but it was missing the top, crispy, burnt sugar layer. The real draw here is the interior. It's absolutely beautiful and gives off that quintessential Parisian elegance. Come for the ambiance and the view, but don't expect to be blown away by the menu. read more

While getting out of the Opera in Paris, we encounter this place by chance. Café De La Paix enchants visitors with its rich history and luxurious ambiance, earning consistent praise for its timeless charm. While the elegant setting is undeniably impressive, we think the menu is a bit overpriced, citing a gap between the cost and the quality of certain dishes. The service is over the top, mainly for its attentiveness and efficiency, with staff creating a welcoming experience. Our feedback on the cuisine is mixed--we appreciate the visually stunning and flavorful desserts, while the main dishes felt short of an average expectations. read more

Cafe de la Paix was a little bit of a disappointment when it comes to food. I had a steak tartare that well executed but their fish and ships version was really hard. I think they use filet of cod fish that are breaded but what we got could have been used as a hammer. The Maitre D was very professional and came to our table to address our concerns. The service is absolutely first class and professional. The decor is charming, classy and inviting. Their croque-Monsieur and Madame re also delicious. read more

I love this place. But first let's clear the air. It's pricey: $25 for Onion Soup, $28 for a soft-boiled egg, $76 for sole meuniere. We're not going to be winning any value awards soon. But I love the location, the ambiance, and the very French -- ok slightly nicer than very French -- service. They've got a great selection of fruits de mers (shellfish, e.g., oysters) which I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys them. Wines by the glass were high quality and, compared to the rest of it, not even that expensive. The live singer was a nice and unexpected touch. Big fan. read more

While the lobster salads were quite good, the service was pathetic. Rushed to take our order, takes away things before we are done, takes away one plate rather than waiting for both on our party to finish eating, and then the coup de gras rams our table with a cart, spattering my shirt. This is not a cheap churn and burn. Two salads and two glasses of wine were 136 euros. Very disappointed. read more

The very best breakfast buffet I've ever had. First the old world elegance of the decor is impressive. When you first walk into the restaurant you feel like you have entered a different dimension. The details in the ceilings, the French infused furniture and of course the impeccable service and best of all the food preparation and taste. They thought of every little detail including crepes for dessert. read more

a charming, beautiful interior and delicious food. i know spots like these are a hit or miss bc they're kind of "tourist trap-y" (it's right across Palais Garnier), but i personally loved it. french onion soup had the perfect level of thickness, escargot was saucy & oily in the best way. highlight though was the filet de daurade - sea bream with braised endives in beurre blanc (French butter sauce), which had a fresh, clean taste to it & was cooked perfectly. and highly recommend the millefeuille caramelise for dessert!!! the crunchy/creamy combo was delightful and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. what we ordered: - french onion soup w/ comte cheese - Burgundy snails served in shells w/ parsley butter - filet de daurade royale - royal sea bream filet with braised endives in beurre blanc -dessert: millefeuille caramelise read more

The Mr. and I had the pleasure of staying in the lovely InterContinental Paris - Le Grand and enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the lovely Cafe de la Paix each morning of our four night stay. The options are extensive and include hot, savory, and chef made to order items. Amazing service and ambiance started our days off perfectly. read more

A fantastic dinner and while the ambience is elegant, and refined, you'll find that most people dinning here are casual The staff spoke English and were very friendly. Tip: Americans need to understand the time it takes for a full dinner service in France is a lot different than back in the States so sit back enjoy the ambience and experience and let the restaurant showcase their food, culture and their service. Portions are smaller but everything was well presented and delicious. read more

When visiting France, this place is a musttttt if you want the exquisite experience of feeling like you're rich lol. I felt like I was in the middle of a movie here, the hosts and hostesses were so kind and everyone speaks English even though I was forcing myself to speak French to learn haha. I only came here for dessert although they do serve lunch here as well as dinner. It is done in a separate room. Lovely designs and art give the place a nice cozy feeling. read more

We were walking by and saw the crowd and the seafood display window is impressive. We added our name on the list and came back 2 hours later. Pascal, our server was absolutely fantastic. He is very friendly and professional and also very attentive to our table. I ordered the small seafood tower and it was huge when it came out. I asked Pascal is this for 1 person and he replied with a big smile and nodded his head. My husband ordered the Sole Meuniere. It was absolutely delicious. I also order the Scallop Carpaccio. Very flavorful. We shared a Creame Brulee. It was fantastic. The restaurant is very busy because it's part of the Intercontinental Hotel. The menu is very pricey here. I saw the french onion soup for $28. The food is very good. So if you are not willing to drop $$$ this place is not for you. read more

Always a family favorite! Conveniently located in front of Opera Garnier. Thé ambiance continues on from the ornate golden theme of Opera Garnier. Staff are always so helpful and ready to serve. Food is equally delicious. It's the trifecta of fine dining. And it has been consistently amazing for many years. They aim to please. So just ask and they will surely try their best to deliver a meal to remember. Make reservations ahead of time for the main dining room. Their kitchen closes at around 3PM. They have a continuous service cafe bistro where you can wait for a table. We have done both and everything is what we had hoped for in both occasions. For the elegance, great service, ambiance and delicious meals, Cafe de la Paix had always delivered consistently impeccable experience year after year. read more

The decor is really nice inside, its old and probably needs a refresh but its a nice space. The breakfast : you dont need reservations which is nice! The " bread/butter " is not a Traditional french bread toast.. its like half the size of it with two small breads - the jam on the other hand is excellent and they give you four! The croissant is big / good The coffee was ok and the tea also There were egg benedicts for like 22 euros and sides of eggs for something like $18 .. yogurt was $12.. The service was EXCELLENT ! Francois the waiter is HaPPY and pleasant with everyone, says no to nothing and smiles genuinely! I give him 5 stars! He should work as a manager! read more

I have been here for dinner at the restaurant few years ago and it was wonderful, this time we opt for the cafe because it was between lunch and dinner. The cafe was packed so they put us in the adjacent hotel's bar which was fine. The best about this cafe menu is the Coquet Madame. OMG! I have never had one like this!! If you try one item this is it! Love the service and the atmosphere. Recommended many people to this place and I am glad it still up to the standards. read more

Café de la Paix - Croque-Madame - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This place is a Paris tradition going back a century. It has recently been restored to its Beaux Arts Glory. The place is a polished work of art. The service is what you would expect for a place of this vintage. Exemplary among places in France. They fall all over you. During our attendance, they are in soft reboot mode after a year of renovation and covid. The menu was short but very well executed. We had all of the salads on the table with the Tartar (original and plancha), the fish and the Croque Madam on the table. everything was great The cost is on the higher end but worth it for the experience. Remember in France that gratuities are included in the prices. So, please factor in before judging. read more

Café de la Paix - French onion soup, curque madam, club sandwich - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This is a tourist trap. The photos on Google are beautiful and the reviews seem good, but there are so many better food options in Paris that you don't need to waste a meal here. This was the only place in two trips to Paris where I felt unwelcome as a tourist. A decidedly strange thing to feel from a restaurant connected to a hotel. Two starters, two main courses, and a half bottle of wine costed us around 200€. The service was slow (dinner took over two hours), the food was just ok, and our waiter was clearly unhappy to be working (they told another table their manager forced them to come in today). This was most obvious when I asked for the check at the end of the meal, and the waiter got upset at me for trying to pay before they cleared the table - an unusually stern "sir just wait" is what I was told, as they refused to take the checkbook from my hand. The food and ambiance (a view of a Five Guys across the street covered in scaffolding) was not worth 200€. Adding on the bad service, and we're going home sad to have wasted our time and money here. read more

I came here with a friend on a Saturday night in November 2021. I arrived at around 5:30 pm and there was a line for indoor seating (no wait for terrasse seating, likely due to the cold weather). My friend and I waited for about half an hour to be seated. The inside is plush and cozy, although it seemed oddly empty despite the long wait. I understood this might be due to some tables being designated for restaurant only. The service was polite but not overly friendly, however they were quick to bring out our orders which was nice. My friend and I decided to order an opéra and a millefeuille, the latter of which is apparently the speciality. We split both desserts. I thought the opéra was well made but ended up preferring the millefeuille, which was served with a puddle of caramel and delightfully sweet. Next time I would definitely get this again. My friend and I each ordered a hot chocolate as well, which for me was nothing too special and might have been too much sugar alongside the desserts, so I would recommend going for a tea or coffee instead if you're getting desserts. Each hot chocolate was served with a small butter cookie which was a cute touch. The desserts are a flat 14€ across the board and the hot chocolates were 9€ each. The price of the desserts were only slightly steeper than I would have liked, but the hot chocolates were not worth it to me. The café is located very close to the Opéra Garnier, which the terrasse seating has a good view of; I imagine this would be very nice on a warm summer day. read more

Fantastic last dinner in Paris! My family and I decided to finish our Paris trip with a bang and have dinner at Cafe de la Paix. We all tried the preset course menus and thought these preset meals allowed us to get the most bang for our buck. I chose the veal with a curry sauce which was extremely tender and flavorful. For my dessert I had a Napoleon layered dessert which was flaky and not overly sweet. Other amazing things that my family tried included the mushroom cappuccino which was the creamiest soup ever and the chocolate cake. In addition, I ordered an aperol spritz. While the drink came in a beautiful large goblet it cost a hefty $25 USD. Beware that this place should be your treat meal - it's expensive! One star down was due to the lack of help in the dining room towards the end of our meal. The restaurant was packed for dinner and our server took a while to deliver our check. Otherwise he was friendly during our dining experience. Other things to note are the beautiful interior of the restaurant, the coat check was neat, and no dinner reservations were necessary. Fortunately we stayed only a short walk away, and overall we're glad we went! read more

I love cafe de la paix. Not only it is convenient because I stay at the hotel above, but it has the absolute best seafood in the area.

Yes, the best seafood!! read more

Tried this restaurant on the advise of a couple of locals and we were not disappointed. Very elegant with many choices on the menu. My husband tried the pumpkin soup with foie gras and chestnuts and he loved it. I went with the French onion soup and was very pleased.

Um where do I start. We are staying at the intercontinental,we had reservations. We got completely ignored for seating this is in October on a Sunday. We sat we waited we waited we waited no water no bread. The menu is very, very limited the seat's uncomfortable. Ahh the french onion soup is bland and inedible ( yep I did not eat it). It is expensive. So I guess the mushroom soup is ok. But so irritated by the tome I ate really just eat upstairs read more

Very classic French restaurant. Service was top-notch. Touristy at the time I visited but I know locals go here too as a Parisian recommended this place to me. Recommend a reservation for this place too. I started with their version of their dinner roll, which is made of the same stuff as a croissant. I had escargot for appetizers, which were delicious and garlicky. Then I had the filet with mushroom polenta shaped like a rectangular prism. It had a side of bearnaise, which I didn't even try. I wanted to taste the beef as is. Unfortunately, it didn't have enough seasoning. I didn't have room for dessert, but I will on the next visit. read more

Comically awful. The positives first....The building's interior is gorgeous (it's Paris) and the service staff look the part. The appearance of everything suggests a top notch restaurant - table decorations, lighting, reputation, etc... Similarly, the service at the beginning of the meal also suggests the appearance of excellence. Everything seemed coordinated - including the token stereotypical French smugness (which we learned is NOT representative of most French servers). However, once the restaurant got busy with additional reservations, it was an absolute clown show. They would use their resources (there must have been four managers helping one male server) to only cater to a big spending table. Everyone else was ignored. What was a normal dinner turned into a four hour affair just to get someone to bring a check. The food was fine - but nothing that would live up to either the expectations or reputation of the place. I assume by now the restaurant survives by bringing in unknowing tourists. Do NOT recommend. read more
