Nice cafe across street from Paris Catacombs.  Everyone working here was very pleasant, quick to serve, seemed a bit overwhelmed at times, but very nice.  I wouldn't suggest going when they are extremely busy, but the time of afternoon we went seemed to be a good pace for them. Good food, drinks, and comfortable environment.

Café Daguerre is a small cafe that bookends Rue Daguerre. Comprising of a well stocked bar and an outdoor dining space, the cafe is both welcoming and homely. You pick any open table of your pleasing, then wait until the lively waiter greets you and hands you a small menu of drinks. I started off by getting the Campari Mojito (7.5€) which is a spin on the classic drink. The Campari added a nice touch to the minty taste of the Mojito and overall the drink was well balanced and refreshing (as any good Mojito should be!) 5/5 To follow the Mojito I ordered a Tartine called the meridianale (10€) , which was a beautifully toasted whole grain bread with roasted peppers, sun dried tomatoes and eggplant, topped off with a hearty helping of a mozzarella gratine. While the bread and the vegetables were great and complimented each other, the cheese was slightly overpowering and a little on the heavy side. The cheese had a very nice smoky quality that would have been wonderful in a more reasonable amount. The dish was also served with a small side salad that was slightly bland and ordinary. (3/5) Overall the Café Daguerre was a pleasant experience due to its vivacious outdoor atmosphere and it's well crafted cocktails.

This was our first time in Paris and we did not speak a single word in French except bonjour. We arrived late in the evening and wanted to grab something to eat. We found this cafe around the area as we searched for a restaurant that still had their kitchen open. The staff were very friendly and spoke good English. We were seated right away and they took our orders right away. Food was good, nothing special. They checked-in a couple times, which was nice of them.

Despite the fact our waitress was super awesome, this place was just really fun and cool to be at, right on the corner of Rue Daguerre. At first the waitress spoke French w/me as I tried to decide where to sit, then she overheard my husband and I speaking English and she started speaking English, but perhaps my pouting as she walked away to get our menus worked, as she returned with a French one for me and an English one for Theron. As we'd already had a pretty hearty dinner snack just down the street, we opted for desserts. The crepes here are really terrific - and this is coming from a gal who has had many an excellent street-crepe. They are sweet, fluffy, and come with lots of options for fillings. Of course the fact they set the grand marnier on fire table-side was a cute stunt we couldn't pass up. The nutella crepe was of course by and far the winner (when is it not?) - though my hubby also loved the apple tatin I ordered, which came with only crust on the bottom and excellent, pure vanilla-ice cream. Here is where I tried (finally) for the first time on this trip the local pastis (an anise flavored drink) - think licorice... and Theron had the grogg (hot rhum with hot water and sugar served on the side). I loved our experience here and, when in the area again, will go back and try the dining options. I hope our blond, spiky haired, chain-wallet wearing waitress is there when we return!

Breakfast Anglaise - €10

I went out on a sunny morning in Montparnasse in search of a quiet, inviting place to eat breakfast. I happened across Café Daguerre and couldn't have been happier. I made my way inside for a look around and then stepped back through a side doorway into a closed off outdoor section in search of a table that wasn't in the direct sun. I found one in a non-smoking section which was a pleasant surprise. The wooden tables were clean and clear of place settings. I was cheerfully greeted by a waiter asking if I was interested in breakfast and although he didn't offer me a menu, took me through what was available - breakfast Anglaise was the ticket for me - ham omelette, orange juice, croissant, coffee and bread for the (Paris) reasonable price of €10. My meal arrived in no time flat and it was delicious. The croissant was warm & moist, the eggs done perfectly (which to me means fluffy and moist, not dry and hard). This was exactly what I was looking for. If you're interested in catching up with world events on your iPad over coffee, free wifi is available. As we all know, there is no shortage of cafés in Paris. Of those I've tried, Café Daguerre stands out for it's cleanliness, surprisingly cheerful staff and better than average food. It was a fortunate choice. If you're in the neighborhood, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent food and service! We were greeted and seated as soon as we get in. We ordered breakfast this morning and it was reasonably priced. Our meal came in with omelet (ham or cheese) crossiant, jelly with baguette basket, fresh squeeze orange juice with pulp, coffee with milk froth topped and water for 10 euro. Our waiter was super nice and very cheerful. We will definitely eating here tonight again to try their dinner menu.

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!

Oh my goodness, what a find! We stopped here for no better reason than our apartment was right…read morearound the corner and we were in the mood for a nice French lunch. Such good luck! I started with the free-range eggs with mayo, and my wife started with the leeks with vinaigrette. The eggs were delicious, but the leeks may have been the best preparation I've ever had in my life. For our main courses, she had the egg muffin, and I had the sausage and mash. Our meal was superb. Whoever is in the kitchen has clearly learned the art of French cuisine well. Service was fantastic, the people-watching (we ate al fresco) was fantastic, and I simply couldn't think of a way to make this a better meal.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

Found the Bistro on Yelp and made reservations for 8:30pm for dinner with my son while we were in…read moreParis on our way to Germany. Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

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.

Friday lunch was an absolute beauty…read more The food? Fantastic. The wait times? Let's just say we're in Paris, not a Formula 1 pit lane. We'll leave it at that. We headed to Chez Janou, a Paris institution. I hadn't been in years, but my son insisted we go back because, according to him, they have the best chocolate mousse in Paris. Judging by the lineup, half the city; and every tourist with an Instagram account showed up. Thankfully we had a 2pm reso. Here's the thing, though. Everyone talks about the mousse, but the food deserves just as much attention. I'd also forgotten how much I love the 3rd arrondissement. Wander a few minutes from the restaurant and you'll find beautiful art galleries, a gorgeous little park, and some of the best boutique shopping in Paris. It's one of those neighbourhoods where you accidentally walk 15,000 steps without realizing it. Now, here's your game plan. Start with the escargots or the gambas to share. For your main, order the farci provençal or the foie de veau. The farci is like a French version of a stuffed pepper: yummy comfort food with a southern coast twist. As for the foie de veau... I actually ordered it by mistake. I thought I was getting regular veal. Out came veal liver. Best mistake of the day. I love liver. My mom makes an incredible liver and onions, so I'm a tough judge. This was outstanding. Rich, buttery, perfectly cooked and perfectly salted. It was so good I immediately texted my mom and told her she's coming here the next time she's in Paris. Drum roll, please... The chocolate mousse. Was it worth all the hype? Yep. There are no fancy swirls or little artistic desserts here. A server simply walks over carrying what looks like a white industrial-sized bowl of chocolate mousse and casually drops a mountain of it onto your plate. Everyone grabs a spoon and starts digging in. It's wonderfully French. Simple. Unpretentious. Ridiculously good. So yes, Chez Janou lives up to the hype. But don't just come for the mousse. Come for the lunch, stay for the neighbourhood, and spend the afternoon getting happily lost in one of the best corners of Paris. That's a Friday well spent.

We have gone into every place being polite and kind and were met with such hostility. He got even more snippy and rude when we declined to have wine or dessert, when we tried to ask any questions about the menu, even walking away from us while we were in the middle of speaking or asking a question. When he brought us food or drinks he nearly dropped it on the table and quickly sped off. Some other servers seemed nice to other guests, so maybe we got one on a bad day but still we felt really upset and uncomfortable with how we were treated, there is no reason for anyone in the service industry to be so rude especially when we were being so polite. You also get blocked into your seat, and are very close to other guests which is fine but you have to call the waiter to pull your table back out to get up or to go to your seat- to which they begrudgingly do so. The beef bourguignon was tasty, but we did not like how both my and my friend's order were brought in the same pot. This resulted in us having maybe 3 tiny potatoes each and not near as much meat as we hoped for. We were expecting to each have our own dish. This was certainly not worth the 36€ per person price point (nearly $80 USD for the one pot of food), and we left the restaurant still hungry and extremely upset and disappointed by the service. Overall I would not return or recommend.
