Great food and service. I am on vacation from America and they were very accommodating to my limits. They also serve soda (I chose Coke Zero) which was very good for me. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

We had a fantastic dinner at Café de Mars, just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower but a world away from the touristy scene. This place has that scrappy energy in the best possible way--servers switching effortlessly between languages, bartenders pulling double duty, and everyone working with heart and hustle. They got some strong American diner vibes with authentic french food and wine. We started with a bold and unique Chenin Sous Voile from Domaine Jousset--dry, nutty, and layered like a white port's sophisticated cousin. Highly recommend for anyone looking to drink something memorable. For mains: The flank steak was perfectly cooked medium rare, tender, and full of flavor. Modest portion, but just right considering the quality. The lamb tourine was a standout--fall-apart tender, moist, and rich without being heavy. The sauce was made for mopping up with couscous, and paired beautifully with our carafe of Syrah. Everything was balanced, thoughtfully plated, and delicious without being flashy. Portions and prices were modest, which left room to explore the menu. This is the kind of spot that makes you feel like you're in Paris--not just visiting. Cozy, charming, and quietly brilliant. read more

Fantastic food and wonderful service! Our favorite meal in Paris! My son is still talking about the steak and mushrooms dish!

Excellent little cafe off the main street; quiet, quaint, and great food with super friendly staff. So good! Forgot to take a picture before we started eating. This is the drunken flank steak and a side of green beans. The sauces were spectacular, everything was cooked to perfection. read more

Good spot but definitely know what to order and stick to items with more breakfast like and French light meals. Note: They change their menu every 14 days Food: Mushroom bruschetta 5/5: creamed spinach bruschetta toast with shaved egg yolk and wild mushroom. Definitely a step up from avocado toast- it was great DrunkenDragon style steak 3/5: ordered due to it being the only constant item on the menu and their "signature" but although the steak was nice and tender I though the soy sauce based glaze with shittake mushrooms was a bit overbearing read more

Café de Mars - Mushroom bruschetta and drunken dragon steak - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Had a wonderful experience as a solo diner here. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The food was terrific. Will be back again!

Food was excellent to the last bite. Service was great also. I ordered a vinaigrette arugula salad, slices of tender beef with Japanese mushrooms and mashed potatoes, very well prepared and tasty. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come again. I paired my dinner with a glass of red wine from Samur Campainy. At the end I had their homemade sorbet that was excellent. I did not have a reservation when I came, but still they got me a quiet spot. read more

When I saw online that Cafe de Mar has live jazz on Saturdays at lunch, I knew my husband and I had to check this spot out together. We only got a few kid-free meals during our trip to Paris so we had to choose wisely, and this was definitely a memorable dining experience and the right choice. This small cafe sits on the corner of a quieter side street but was still super easy to find. We arrived around 3pm and were able to get a table with no problem. The live jazz consisted of two musicians that played some nice covers. Waitstaff were nice and super down to earth. We ordered the olives and almonds to snack on, a sort of whipped ricotta with bread. As entrees we ordered steak and clam chowder The steak had shiitake mushrooms that were incredible. I don't know what seasoning they used but I'll be trying my best to replicate them at home. But what won us over was the clam chowder, WOW! We both agreed it was the best clam chowder we've ever eaten in our lives! It has had fresh clams, super finely diced vegetables, and some sort of sherry immersed that completely set it off. We'll both dream of that soup because it was that good! If you're looking for a nice, chill vibe with great food this is your spot! And always ask your server for their rec because they always know what's best read more

Café de Mars - Pork Belly with sweet potato - French Near Me - Paris, 75

We had an impromptu dinner here the other evening, which turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. We started with some olives (served warm) and some labneh, then shared a pumpkin salad, polenta and mushrooms and some Italian cold meat (for the meat eaters, not me!). I had the red snapper bouillabaisse for main, which was the stand out dish. I wish they had a few more shrimp in there as that was the best part of the dish. Our server was personable, attentive and lovely. Atmosphere was cute and cozy bistro. Would recommend for sure! read more

Delicious meal with varying menu items and although nearby the Eiffel Tower, the prices are very reasonable. Between 3 people, we ordered 3 starters and 2 main dishes for our light lunch. For starters, we had grilled polenta, grilled eggplant, and a tuna/frisee salad toast. For main dishes, we had roasted duck, and a take on bouillabaisse. Of course, these are very abridged summaries of what the dishes actually contained, but each plate was thoroughly thought out. Would not hesitate to eat here again. Bonus if if you see the cafe cat! read more

My husband and I were in Paris 2 weeks ago, first time. He has Shellfish allergies and I could only eat Gluten Free foods. They were able to accommodate us. We were able to enjoy a delicious meal with Chicken and 2 of their desserts. We truly enjoyed it! The restaurant staff were very helpful and friendly. Merci Beaucoup read more

We started the day with coffee and pastries. We later came back here after our Eiffle tower tour for lunch. We ordered a burger, spaghetti bolognese, and a rib steak. Unfortunately everything was bland. There was some real potential. Ah, maybe we came on a bad day. We came back the next day for breakfast. We saw some of the breakfast items the day before and thought it all looked really good. We ordered the pancakes and French toast. The pancakes were, well, not good. Kinda plain. BUT the French toast..... WOW. It was the best I've ever had. It was so good that we ordered two more orders to replace the pancakes. This made up for the other meals. The service was good. The staff was nice. The place is right on the corner with great views and good people watching. The coffee was good, and the french toast was great. It's worth a visit. read more

Very much enjoyed the food the service and the ambience. Spoke English which was helpful. Highly recommend.

Food is really tasty. Service is solid as well but kind of slow (but I get I'm not used to the French way). The drunken dragon whatever beef dish is REALLY good; meat is cooked perfectly and seasoned great. Mashed potatoes is also phenomenal with hella butter. The mushrooms is VERY heavy on the ginger and even though I like ginger, I felt that it was a bit too overwhelming. My mom got the fish and said it was just okay. People here speak perfect English so it was a great way to start our trip. Very cute and tucked away in a small corner but don't be fooled, the food is scrumptious. read more

We found this place from someone's blog and decided to eat here since we were near. The staff was so nice and had great recommendations for food and drinks. We got the olives, charcuterie, wine, pork, seabream, and goat cheesecake. It was one of my favorite meals in the city. We went a little early without a reservation but highly recommend making a reservation so you don't miss out. read more

THE BEST!! The menu changes every 14 days but the quality does not! They have the best wine selection that will pair perfectly with your meal. Love that the menu items are fresh and adventurous but always feel very homey. Lovely staff as well. Must try the goat cheese cheesecake! read more

Food was amazing! Ambience is casual and service is quick! Best was the steak and mushrooms in the red wine sauce!

One of the best burgers I have ever had. The staff was amazing and so attentive. Would recommend to anyone visiting Paris.

Delicious food, friendly owner/service (including to my kids aged 4 and 6), amazing live music on the weekend...one of our favorite spots we visited in Paris! read more

We walked in and thought they were on the cusp of being fully booked, they sat us. Very friendly staff. This is a place that has a menu that is slightly different from what I suspect is the standard cafe menu aimed at tourists, and it was magnificently executed. We had the manchego with herbed honey as an appetizer. Wonderful! The bread was a brown bread, not a baguette and fresh and delicious. We each had a house red that's was perfectly balanced, just outstanding. I had a flank steak that was the envy of anything you can find in Texas. Served with pickled shatacki (?) mushrooms that were a perfect complement and a buttery mashed potato that was excellent. My kids had a chicken salad that was outrageous. The greens had pomegranate and mint and it was delicious. My wife had a burger that came with sliced fired circular fries that were outstanding. This is a the place that is just off the beaten path that will serve the meal you came to Paris to say, "I ate in this little cafe and it was cozy and outrageously delicious," and you will not forget it. read more

Café de Mars - Drunken dragon steak - French Near Me - Paris, 75

My husband and I visited last month while on our honeymoon and had a wonderful time! We researched places beforehand because I'm vegetarian, and I had a wonderful halloumi salad. My husband loved his duck. The server (who may have also been the owner?) was very nice and friendly, and helped with wine and dessert selection (we had a yummy tart with figs). We sat outdoors and it was very nice and relaxing. Highly recommend this place! read more

Excellent quality price ratio Great service Love it! Perfectly located for tourists close to champs de mars! read more

Let's get this out of the way--I do not like mushrooms. None of them...nope. Big nope. And then someone has the wild idea to pickle some shitake mushrooms in vinegar and put them with steak 'Drunkin Dragon' style (marinated in soy sauce and beer for three days), and just WOW! My head just explodes and I eat a whole plate of steak and mushrooms. And the cat--he just saunters over and gives me this look. He's like "yeah--see, you don't know what you like, do ya?" and he's right. So, that's how dinner went at Cafe de Mars. I wish I'd eaten there every single night of our stay in Paris. So, it's French Asian Fusion, I think. The menu is written on a chalk board and changes daily. I understand the steak is on there pretty often--because it's amazing. I also understand the cat runs the place. The service was friendly and wonderful. Go here. Make the reservation. It is casual fine dining, dress okay. Plan to spend some money but not crazy money. And you will not regret a single dime...wait...pence...no, wait, euro. I can't keep up. I bet the cat does. read more

Café de Mars - MUSHROOMS! - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Modern French cuisine, served with modern friendly French hospitality by the warm lovely waitresses Annie and Marie, in a romantic modern and warmly lit interior. Make a reservation! Our first dinner was so fantastic that we came back here a second time for dinner again. €36-39 will get you a 3 course near fine dining experience, most entrees(appetizers) and desserts are 9€, and most main dishes are €18. -Watercress soup...light, green, fragrant, clean and elegant. -Beet Salad...fresh -Sea Snails...not my thing, but you might like it! I normally do like garlic buttery escargots. -Pork Stew...I never knew pork could taste as amazing as this -Fish...roasted to perfection, served with amazing mushrooms. -Steak...the most popular dish costs an extra €3, and worth it. The mushroom sauces accentuates the juicy tender beef. The delightful and light parsnip mash makes for refreshing change from the greasy "frites". -Caramel Tarte...delicious! -Poached Pear...fresh, sweet, and fruity! As with most Paris cafes, wines are offered at variety of price ranges to suit any budget...and as an American, I find every French wine delicious no matter what price. Bon Apetit! read more

I love eating at cafes in Paris. The wild numbers of people, the absurdity of the lines and the noise as well as the sights and the smells. Cafe de Mares is all of this with less noise, better prices and a more relaxed atmosphere. I got the flank steak with these incredible mushrooms. My wife got a soba salad which was large enough to feed two and my daughter a huge burgers. We were helped by Peter who had recently moved from Amsterdam and his service was outstanding as were his bar skills. Get the Negroni. It's not traditional but it may make you second guess your desire to even have Campari in your house any longer. I hope this cafe is around when we make it back again because I will happily visit again read more

This was an amazing place! Everything we had was so tasty - I was pretty impressed. If you're ok to not have an awesome city view and enjoy amazing food, come here. We had the labneh, heirloom tomatoes + feta, and the grilled flank steak. Enjoyed it with a glass of red wine! Thank you! read more

We had a delightful dinner here! After a gluttonous few days eating our way through Paris, something decidedly vegetable-focused was in order. Our meal did include chicken, fish, and cheese, but also lots of vegetables and fruits. Pictures are our apertifes and grilled apricots for dessert. I forgot to photograph the salads. The waitress was very conscious of my gluten allergy, and kindly spoke English with me. I hope to return. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem in a sea of touristy restaurants. We had just finished our tour of Versailles and we're starving, and saw this place on the map so we tried it for lunch. Absolutely incredible. We had even more food than this photo but I was so happy eating I forgot to take pics. Don't skip the chocolate cake! Great staff as well and so nice.

I had lunch here with my daughter after visiting the Eiffel Tower. There were many cafes near the tower with a view, but their reviews were marginal. I found Le Cafe de Mars via Yelp and went there based on ratings. It's off the beaten path and we were skeptical but wow are we glad we stopped. I was confused by how simple the menu was. I got the turkey and my daughter got the cod. Sounds plain right? Have a look at the pictures from our meal. The turkey dish was complex yet elegant with its seasoning and the fruity "bbq" with cherries was out of this world. My daughters cod was perfect for a sunny day and had a subtle citrus flavor. They had a deal where you could order either an app and an entree, or, entree plus dessert for a flat 23 Euros. This place is the perfect spot after touring the sites. read more
