Very cute place near the Eiffel Tower! Our waitress Anna was AMAZING! The frog legs were good! The salad with faux gras was great! The beef bourguignon was great! Skip the steaks. Very very chewy. First time I didn't eat my steak.
Leaving the Eifel Tower we stopped by for a bite. The escargo was awesome and so was the steak.
Another Pre-Covid review. Thank you Maggie (LA) for your hotel recommendation and because of that, the Eiffel Tower, the Big Bus Stops and a plethora of very fine restaurants were just walking distance from our hotel lobby. All you had to do was remember to look right-left-right, so you wouldn't get run over. Counter intuitive I know but after a few days - you get the hang of it. The manager of Cafe Beaujolais stands outside of the restaurant, inviting people in and we were enticed on this particular day. It was packed inside and it was such a nice day, so we decided to dine outside, like all the other Parisians. The escargot tools were hard to maneuver but we were able to get those little critters out of their shells. It was very buttery and good. The ribeye was very juicy and a little pricey but I would definitely order that again. Let's not forget the complimentary French bread - it was the real deal. This has caused me to get French bread from Jewel every now and then, in an attempt to recreate the moment - not quite the same. I'm apparently Cafe Beaujolais dreamin, on such a winters' day.
Stopped by for a sidewalk snack on our way to the Eiffel Tower (about 2 min away from). We tried the cheeseboard, escargot, and French onion soup. As you can see in the photo the cheeseboard was very large- enough for at least 5 people! The escargot & soup were delicious. The soup was a perfect temperature and full of flavor. For drinks, we got the house champagne which had a delicious butter taste and golden hue, and a gin & tonic. Bathrooms are inside downstairs. Service and music was good. Because it was winter, there were blankets provided for outdoor dining.
Atmosphere: Cafe Beaujolais is a nice and charming cafe that is not too far from the Eiffel Tower. The outdoor seating was perfect for the pleasant weather, but there were some bugs biting us. Service: Although our waiter was overall friendly, we had to often remind him of our requests for refills or the check. One major thing that bothered us was that the waiter indirectly pushed us for a tip, which we knew wasn't required in France, but we still felt pressured to add it to the bill. In this way, Cafe Beaujolais definitely felt like a tourist trap where the waiters could earn a little extra cash off of non-Parisians. Food: We ordered a cheese board and foie gras for the table and the tagliatelle bolognese and bacon cheeseburger for our meal. The cheese board came with 4 cheeses on top of lettuce and tomatoes tossed in a vinaigrette. The cheeses were good but did not feel unique or special. Likewise, the foie gras did not really exceed our hopes and expectations for foie gras in Paris. The story of mediocrity continued with the pasta and bacon cheeseburger. The pasta was good but could have used more sauce and seasoning, and the bacon cheeseburger felt generic and plain. We also had a beer to go along with our food that unfortunately may have been the best part of the meal as it helped wash down our rather flavorless meal. Overall: Cafe Beaujolais lived up to the "French restaurant by the Eiffel Tower" expectation by image alone. The food was alright at best, and the service was subpar and borderline scammy at the end. We do not recommend having a serious meal here, despite its convenient location.
Great food & service...Our last dinner in Europe. We decided to eat here before we walked back to our hotel & wanted to wait for the Eiffel tower to light up at night. "You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together."-Anthony Bourdain
After a scenic trip to the Eiffel Tower, we looked on Yelp for somewhere nearby to eat and Le Beaujolais popped up. Le Beaujolais is a very nice, charming bistro, within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower. There are lots of small indoor and outdoor seating and it seemed like almost all the tables were eating outside on this nice day. At first, we chose to eat inside, however, as soon as a table cleared up outside, we decided to move outside. Apparently, the wait staff on the inside is not affiliated with the tables on the outside and as soon as we went outside, he would not help us at all. So be it. To be honest, all of the food was really good. I had the onion soup, beef bourguignon, and tried the grilled salmon. The gratined's onion soup (€10) was very tasty and had lots of cheese. Although not large in size, it actually very heavy and filling. The salmon (€17) was small in size, but tender and delicious. With the fresh tomatoes and buttered greens, it seemed like the lighter and healthier option. The beef bourguignon (€18) is beef stew in a red wine sauce with sautéed potatoes. It was very flavorful and the potatoes were surprisingly really good too. It comes in a mini stew pot and is hearty and very filling. Overall, except for the salmon, it was a very heavy meal. Prices are a little expensive, but the food is good. Service was mediocre at best. Definitely not a bad dining option if you feel like splurging on a meal.
Great service and great food! Beef bourguignon was up To perfection! I'll definitely dream of Paris for this one!
I had been planning on eating here for months. I wasn't disappointed at the result. Early afternoon meal, semi busy, and the service was spot on attentive. The meal was amazing. Their bread Resembles a croissant type of bread buttered and grilled. The chicken breast was battered cooked perfectly not overdone. They topped it with cheese sautéed onions lettuce and it was absolutely amazing. I found myself eating very slowly as to enjoy every bite of my chicken burger. The server who waited on me was very attentive Polite and made my experience perfect. I will be returning to try dinner another evening
Great service and lovely interior, but you can't have the words "Steak House" on your sign outside and then serve me the hardest (even though it was cooked medium) steak of my life. It was listed as "Filet de bœuf 200 gr, purée" which would seem to indicate some form of beef filet. What I got couldn't be cut or even bit into and for €34 ($38), I expect better.
We saw the place riding on one of the hop on and off tours, and said we have to eat here. The staff very friendly; however, slow. Well we didn't want a heavy lunch to slow us down so we ordered one plate to share. The Fish n' Chips. The Fish n' Chips were good; however when it says Fish...It's only ONE piece of fish.
Cafe Beaujolais is now called Le Bouchon Parisien and it is owned by the son of the former owner of the restaurant. It is quite cute inside with bistro tables & chairs. We sat in the little greenhouse front room in a corner booth. Do note that the tables are small and close together. We had to slide our table over to be able to sit down and get up to leave. This is not the sort of place where you can have a private convo b/c of the intimacy of the table arrangements. Mehdi is accustomed to serving visitors. His command of English is excellent and he is a professional and courteous waiter. This resto skews rather touristy but the food was honestly not bad. (It was recommended to us by a tour guide and my friend wanted to come here.) We came for lunch late on Thursday around 2:45pm. I ordered linguine a la nonna (with eggplant) and my friend ordered the veal stew. I enjoyed my linguine. It was freshly and simply prepared with a light tomato sauce, fresh parmigiana, and bits of eggplant. She enjoyed the stew. Both portions were generous. We were going to head out, but then Mehdi brought over the dessert tray. (He's quite a good salesman with a bright smile.) We enjoyed the raspberry macaron along with two cafe au laits. A lovely ending to a good meal. They have nice bathrooms downstairs. There a very cool basement elevator that you may get to see in action in a very surprising place. Keep an eye out for it! Verdict: The food was totally fine, not exquisite or even super memorable, but tasty & filing. It is somewhat expensive for what you get, but this is very close to Tour Eiffel, so it is to be expected. Tap water is available here for the table as well. Merci beaucoup! read more
Just a shot walk from the Eiffel Tower, this is a very cool place to grab a drink, food or just apps! The lighting is amazing, it's actually a very big place so we didn't need reservations at all. Service was friendly, and prompt! They are English friendly but of course we tried to speak French. Escargot was amazing, lots of EVOO & Pesto. Overall a very intimate, and romantic place for all. read more
Obviously this place is in a touristy location right by the Eiffel Tower. They know that and cater to tourists (especially when it comes to schmoozing for a tip which are not required in France). Albeit, my group and I had a great time here and it didn't seem like a rip off or anything--probably because we had a fun server who would sing. It was a relatively busy evening and our party of 6 got seated quick without a reservation. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. I recommend the following: - Escargots - Soupe à I'oignon gratinée - Foie gras de canard maison (always get the foie!) - Bœuf bourguignon traditionnel et ses pommes sautées read more

Should have read the reviews before we decided to stop by this place. Restaurant was right by our place and menu items looked pretty good, so we decided to give it a try. It was our first formal restaurant we went to in France. Service was pretty bad. When we were ready to order, our waiter came by and bluntly said, "What do you want?" Took me by complete surprise how rude he was. At first we thought it was just a cultural thing and it was the norm in France, so we let it slide. After visiting other French establishments over the next couple of days, we realized our waiter in fact lacked basic customer service skills. He took our order by memorization. Our party of 4 ordered 4 dishes, 1 appetizer, and 1 beer. I told my husband that I bet he will not get the order correct, and I was right. He forgot the first thing we ordered, our appetizer. The thing that really took us by surprise was when he took our payment, he asked how much we would like to leave for the tip? Even though we didn't like the service, we were going to leave a little tip anyways since we were accustomed to doing so even though we read that Europeans don't typically tip for services. But for him to ask in a blunt manner like that makes us feel like we were forced to leave him a tip. Food was just okay, definitely not worth the price we paid. Our table ordered 2 duck steak plates (duck was seasoned well and skin was crispy, but meat was a little tough), 1 steak plate (steak was very thin, tough, and chewy), and 1 sea bass plate (flavor ok but portion was very small), escargot (12pc) appetizer (pretty good), and 1 beer. Total was 107 euros. Pretty expensive for the quality and amount of food. The next night we went a few blocks down the street to Au Dernier Metro (whose food taste/quality and service was definitely better) and paid 72 euros for a very similar meal. Oh yeah...forgot to mentioned that they charged us 7 euros for water when all the other restaurants give them for free! read more

Passed on this place a few times while in Paris, thinking is a tourist trap because of its location close to the Eiffel Tower, but decided to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. My second time I took friends and they enjoyed it as well. They have a varied and decently priced menu. We ordered Escagot, fish and chips, French onion soup. entrecôte and Burger. We were all pleased with our meals. read more

A gem in Paris. That's outside of a touristy area The staff is very friendly and they have a restaurant dog named lucky who walks freely around outside. He doesn't beg for food. I had the pasta with mushroom and grilled chicken and it was delicious. I had a cider beer to go with it My friend had red wine and salmon with veggies. This has become my go to spot anytime I'm in Paris read more

I was hesitant to try this place because I didn't really see a lot of customers, but decided to try it anyway. No regrets here as it got crowded a few minutes after we got seated. Breakfast was typical. Nothing stood out, but it was satisfying. The price wasn't that bad either. I would probably come back, maybe after checking out other places along the same avenue. read more
Cafe Beaujolais was such a wonderful experience. I had a glass of wine and some frites while my colleagues had pasta and soup. The service was great, the food was delicious, and the wine was great! My only sadness was that the little Bulldog was not at the restaurant. I had heard so much about Lucky beforehand. We enjoyed sitting on the patio. They had the heaters on but they really weren't needed. The ambiance is relaxing and it's Location near the Eiffel Tower is ideal. I would definitely recommend this to anyone staying near the Eiffel Tower or visiting near the Eiffel Tower. All of the food was delicious. read more
Ate here after unintentionally catching the 11pm Eiffel Tower light show. Waiter was very engaging with our two young kids, and made our first meal here quite a relief and enjoyable. Only two other tables eating at the time. Service was relatively prompt. Ok, on to the food. My salmon with green beans was delicious! Skin was perfectly crispy and fish was moist/tender. Croque Madame was typical. I think I'm just not a ham sandwich person. Pasta was delicious. My son said it was a 5.5 on a 1 to 5 scale. They have their portions done right; plate looks small but it was a deep plate and filled up husband well. Would recommend based on our late night dining experience. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff was friendly, the food is AMAZING with the price being more than reasonable for the area. The ambience is amazing and dining here at night is even more fun. It can get chilly at night so dress warm if you get outside seating. But we'll definitely be back! read more
Wonderful experience! We stopped in for a late lunch and had an awesome taste of Paris. The French onion soup (Otherwise known as onion soup here...LOL) was cheesey and full of flavor. We split a bowl as the duck breast on a bed on green beans and beef bourguignon were VERY healthy servings, by any standard. Be sure to pair with a glass of wine from the region. read more
Le Beaujolais was not too far from our hotel and the Eiffel Tower. I picked this place, based on the great yelp reviews. Honestly I almost walked out when I saw the place was almost empty. The worker greeted us and seated us right away. The service was polite, but not too friendly. Pretty attentive, but seemed forced, if you know what I mean. Whatever...I was there for the food, not for the red carpet treatment. Confit de canard pommes sautee (12,70 €): the duck confit was pretty good. I found it odd how only half of the skin was crispy. I told the waiter that it would be better if it was evenly crispy and he disagreed. OK....I guess customer is not always right. That's ok with me. Foie gras de canard maison (13,70 €): served with toast, the foie gras terrine was tasty. Too bad it was a little too salty. Chicken pasta: I don't remember the name of the chicken pasta because I was too busy enjoying my duck confit. I just remember it had some kind of brown sauce that looked more like brown gravy. We washed down our food with Heineken and apricot juice. Mmmmmm Complimentary bread basket. There was a cute dog patrolling the dining table. The waiter said that the dog is the boss LOL 4 stars!! Le Beaujolais is yummylicious!! read more

This is a little gem near the Eiffel Tower. The food is excellent. The beef bourguignon is so good! Get it! The wine is pretty standard for the area and they have a full drink menu. The highlight is probably the owner's French bulldog. His name is french and sounds like "lucky" but we just called him Hector, because it fit. The vibe is relaxed and the staff is pretty good. They are a little loud when it comes to hailing people to come in but they just seem excited. We don't blame them, the food is that good! This was very close to our hotel and less expensive and more Parisian than the hotel restaurant so we went everyday for either dinner or late night drinks and crepes. Give this place a try. I doubt you'll regret it!! read more
