    Interior - very busy outside even in a cold February but we preferred indoor seating
    Pamela G.

    We had reservations at a restaurant next door to the the Cafe Blanc but when we arrived we decided we didn't want to eat there. We were pretty upset to be out on the street wondering where to go but we saw the outdoor menu and the Cafe Blanc looked pretty and busy so we went in - score! We got a table by the window and settled in for a delightful meal. I got a special from a menu board the waiter brought over - delicious pork in a great sauce with mashed potatoes. Absolutely delicious. My husband got beef in sauce ...the French know their sauces! We shared an absolutely delicious crème brûlée dessert. The waiter was charming . We got a kick out of seeing a French family come in and order hamburgers and fries and eat them very neatly with knives and folks. If you're in the area ( near the Louvre) this could be a good spot for a lunch or dinner.

    Great place for late night eats. Kitchen closes around midnight but drinks are served until 2am. The escargot here was the first and only we experienced the entire time in Paris but it was delicious. The rib steak wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. The highlight and this is such an odd one, is the chicken sandwich. This thing was amazing. Something about the chicken was so damn good. Bread was a bit... stale but everything else about it was amazing.

    Service was friendly and welcoming. Food left a bit to be desired. Beef was good, though some cuts were tough. Duck was very, very tough. The Buddha Bowl was a hit and the kids menu was very reasonable with a good selection. Overall, a pleasant place but keep looking. There are too many places to eat in Paris to settle.

    Croque Madame
    Melissa B.

    Loved this cafe near the Louvre museum for a quick bite to eat! Lots of seating available and they have a covered outdoor area with heating! It's a nice place to sit and do some people watching while you enjoy your meal. The language barrier was minimal and the server spoke English. They pretty much have something for everyone on the menu. The coke with the lemon slice was SO refreshing and the croque madame was amazing. It really hit the spot. It was cooked perfectly. The frites were super crunchy and the perfect complement to the sandwich. I mixed the ketchup with the Dijon mustard to dip the frites in and it was a great choice. The little side salad had a balsamic vinaigrette and it gave some freshness to the meal. Definitely would recommend this place! Especially if you are looking to knock some "bucket list" French foods off all in one place!

    Fast service with decent food. You won't be wowed with the food but service was the fastest we have had in France. We are talking iHop fast! This is a good place for Croque Madame!

    Nicoise salad
    Lee W.

    We stopped by here on a walk back to our apartment. Delightful stop on our way all home. Started with a Monaco and a cucumber mojito, both were delish and really hot the spot. Wait staff was very attentive and without asking we got water delivered to the table, so thoughtful. We decided to stay for a snack, so Niçoise salad it was. Fresh and flavorful, not the best I've had in the city but tasty none the less. All in all a lovely experience in this charming restaurant on a hot summer day in Paris.

    beef bourguignon
    Emma L.

    We loved our time at Cafè Blanc- they have continuous service so we were able to eat around 1800 when we got to Paris. The service was wonderful and the food absolutely matched that. The beef bourguignon was mouth watering and extremely flavorful. The Bordeaux red wine was equally great. We loved sitting outside being able to people watch and relax. A great option.

    "I love Paris" drink- VERY GOOD ($10)

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

    I have mixed feelings about Bistro des Augustins. On the one hand, it provided me some of the most…read morecomforting and delicious food that I enjoyed in Paris. On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

    THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.

When I arrived, there was a rustic table in the entry room where I was seated. I ordered an entrée of mini mushroom raviolis in truffle sauce, a plat of scallops over orzo which had chorizo chunks and a dessert of frozen Grand Marnier soufflé. The portions were generous. I enjoyed the mini mushroom raviolis and delicious Grand Marnier soufflé. The plat was somewhat odd because the chorizo chunks were really strong flavored which overpowered the scallops. I ate one chorizo chunk and pushed the rest aside. The scallops were cooked perfectly but not seasoned. The service was gruff/quite brief with dishes dropped by assistants. My biggest complaint was the stressful ambiance during the meal. It was freezing outside. The door constantly opened and new patrons came in hovering over diners in my room. Luckily I was not closer to the door and didn't have anyone over me. For ~170 Euros, the food was good but the experience was not.
