The service was excellent, we did not wait long for a table, and they were most helpful filling in our broken French with their capable English. Our waiter even helped my son pull the escargot from its shell. The food was just as good with the highlight of the night being the duck confit. It fell right off the bone and was cooked to perfection. The steak frites was also very tasty with a large portion cooked just right. The wine was tasty and the pours were generous. My group were delighted and we are happy to recommend and would totally go back when in the neighborhood.

Such a great hidden gem! Not sure why another reviewer said this is "not for americans". I'm a…read moreBrazilian living in Canada (and my French is laughable, btw), and this is one of the places I felt the most welcome in Europe so far. Just know what to expect: this is a rustic place aimed for locals. The owner doesn't speak English (though one waiter did, to be fair), you won't get an English menu (or maybe a menu at all), and they don't take credit cards. And that's what makes it so great! You'll have an authentic experience without the bullshit aimed for tourists. If none of this sounds appealing to you, I suggest you stop reading this review and avoid the place. Food wasn't fancy, but tasted great, fresh and authentic. Everything is dirty cheap, costing less than 35 euros for a 3-course meal with lots of wine. During the two times I visited the place, had a great chat with a local who I will keep in touch with, didn't have enough cash to pay my bill and they were completely cool with it (I obviously came back later and payed what I owed), owner opened the place just because of us, and got liqueur and cheese for free. What more could I ask for? :-) If you're not afraid of a truly authentic experience, go ahead and give it a try!

Our family has been coming to La Fresque for the past 10 years--each year when we return to Paris…read morefor a month, we eat at La Fresque at least 3 times a week. We love good unpretentious French cuisine at an affordable price that has great value and La Fresque hits it every time. Their lunch menu at 20 euros include an appy and a main or main and dessert. For the appy, there is always a choice of 5 different things and at least 4 to 5 for the main and 4 to 5 choices for dessert. This week, we have already been 3 times for lunch and a sample of what we had: apples...bulots; home made gnocchi with cream sauce; quail with morel mushrooms; herring and mackerel in a curry sauce. mains....faux filet of beef (steak) with pepper sauce with scalloped potatoes; pork tenderloin with a mango sauce with braised leek and fennel; duck breast with a side of sweet potato puree; beef tartare with roasted potatoes and salad. Everything we have had this week have been absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Steaks and duck breast are not overcooked and so flavourful. A glass of very good wine is only 3 euros and a house bottle is 12 euros. Service is always efficient and friendly at La Fresque and they will never rush you for your table. There is a choice of a table outside of inside and you can people watch during your meal since the restaurant is across from Les Halles shopping center with pedestrian walkway only. We love eating at La Fresque and you get excellent value for home cooked French food that is a good portion. We will be returning again in a few days for more great dinners and lunches.

Our group of 11 was looking for real French food. We found this place and it didn't disappoint…read more Menu is small and there is no English menu so we figured it was legit. The staff spoke some English, but not a lot--just enough to get by. Everything was delicious. Service was great (by French standards). Prices were very reasonable, but then again I live in CA so I'm easily amazed when it comes to pricing. Would definitely come back.
