    Mushroom bruschetta and drunken dragon steak
    Aleksandar K.

    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

    Arugula vinaigrette salad

    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.

    Nice atmosphere, with wonderful food. Away from crowds and very romantic. Menu always updating.

    Olives and almonds

    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

    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!

    Polenta, eggplant, tuna/frisée toast
    Gina L.

    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!

    steak dish

    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.

    Charcuterie
    Elizabeth A.

    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.
