Avocado toast
Shereen O.

Bring your wallet. You have been warned. Located in the Intercontinental Le Grand, this cozy restaurant is nice for lunch or dinner. The decor is lovely, even down to the toile on the chairs. I could imaginr imagine this as a nice spot for drinks or coffee and dessert before or after the opera. It is quite expensive, as most plates are over $30 euro. My daughter had avocado toast and enjoyed it. (Almost US $40!) My French onion soup was delicious, but $25 EUROS!!!!! All servers have been wonderful and very attentive. Bring your wallet. You have been warned.

Perfect place for a drink and treats before or after the opera. Such a delight and lots of good choices. It's a beautiful dining experience. We have been here several times and it's always good.

Inside the Intercontinental Grand, Cafe de la Paix has been around since 1862. The place is pretty, feels historic and a lot of the menu seems pretty timeless as well. The french onion soup is super rich and is from the restaurant opening. But the seafood bar is really the highlight for apps, and we tried a bouquet of shrimp which didn't disappoint. The touredos of beef with bernaise sauce was probaby our fave, although the steamed cod and beef tartare were also solid. Good wine selection and a nice escape from the bustling streets outside.

Conveniently located next to Palais Garnier and a metro stop, Café de la Paix was easy to find and seated us right away on a Thursday morning. We had a croissant, pain au chocolat, crème brûlée, a hot chocolate, and coffee. The food and drinks were pretty average and it cost 40€. Creme brûlée was pretty good, but it was missing the top, crispy, burnt sugar layer. The real draw here is the interior. It's absolutely beautiful and gives off that quintessential Parisian elegance. Come for the ambiance and the view, but don't expect to be blown away by the menu.

While getting out of the Opera in Paris, we encounter this place by chance. Café De La Paix enchants visitors with its rich history and luxurious ambiance, earning consistent praise for its timeless charm. While the elegant setting is undeniably impressive, we think the menu is a bit overpriced, citing a gap between the cost and the quality of certain dishes. The service is over the top, mainly for its attentiveness and efficiency, with staff creating a welcoming experience. Our feedback on the cuisine is mixed--we appreciate the visually stunning and flavorful desserts, while the main dishes felt short of an average expectations.

I had an awesome dining experience. Before an opera show we were able to get reservations. Everything was top notch. The ambience,food and service was great. The painting on the wall is gorgeous. A perfect ladies night in Paris. I loved it.

When visiting France, this place is a musttttt if you want the exquisite experience of feeling like you're rich lol. I felt like I was in the middle of a movie here, the hosts and hostesses were so kind and everyone speaks English even though I was forcing myself to speak French to learn haha. I only came here for dessert although they do serve lunch here as well as dinner. It is done in a separate room. Lovely designs and art give the place a nice cozy feeling.

Cafe de la Paix was a little bit of a disappointment when it comes to food. I had a steak tartare that well executed but their fish and ships version was really hard. I think they use filet of cod fish that are breaded but what we got could have been used as a hammer. The Maitre D was very professional and came to our table to address our concerns. The service is absolutely first class and professional. The decor is charming, classy and inviting. Their croque-Monsieur and Madame re also delicious.

Lovely place to have dinner It's our second time here. Delicious food, great location and amazing service

french onion soup w/ comte cheese & Burgundy snails served in shells w/ parsley butter
Julie K.

a charming, beautiful interior and delicious food. i know spots like these are a hit or miss bc they're kind of "tourist trap-y" (it's right across Palais Garnier), but i personally loved it. french onion soup had the perfect level of thickness, escargot was saucy & oily in the best way. highlight though was the filet de daurade - sea bream with braised endives in beurre blanc (French butter sauce), which had a fresh, clean taste to it & was cooked perfectly. and highly recommend the millefeuille caramelise for dessert!!! the crunchy/creamy combo was delightful and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. what we ordered: - french onion soup w/ comte cheese - Burgundy snails served in shells w/ parsley butter - filet de daurade royale - royal sea bream filet with braised endives in beurre blanc -dessert: millefeuille caramelise

A fantastic dinner and while the ambience is elegant, and refined, you'll find that most people dinning here are casual The staff spoke English and were very friendly. Tip: Americans need to understand the time it takes for a full dinner service in France is a lot different than back in the States so sit back enjoy the ambience and experience and let the restaurant showcase their food, culture and their service. Portions are smaller but everything was well presented and delicious.

Seafood Tower
Tiffany N.

We were walking by and saw the crowd and the seafood display window is impressive. We added our name on the list and came back 2 hours later. Pascal, our server was absolutely fantastic. He is very friendly and professional and also very attentive to our table. I ordered the small seafood tower and it was huge when it came out. I asked Pascal is this for 1 person and he replied with a big smile and nodded his head. My husband ordered the Sole Meuniere. It was absolutely delicious. I also order the Scallop Carpaccio. Very flavorful. We shared a Creame Brulee. It was fantastic. The restaurant is very busy because it's part of the Intercontinental Hotel. The menu is very pricey here. I saw the french onion soup for $28. The food is very good. So if you are not willing to drop $$$ this place is not for you.

Super cute brunch restaurant in the 9th and conviently located only 2 min from our hotel. We…read morearrived Tuesday morning at approx 9 am. It was early so there was only 1 other couple in the restaurant. The server was super friendly and gave us an English menu. We wanted a lot of food so my husband and I both ordered the "Full Monty" for 19 eur each. It comes with coffee, juice (orange or juice of the day), baugette with butter and house made jam, your choice of carrot cake or banana pancakes, eggs done your way and finally salmon or bacon. My husband and I got an allongé (Americano or long black), juice of the day, banana pancakes, scrambled eggs (caviar as they like to call it) and salmon. Everything was absolutely perfect. This was our favorite breakfast in Paris. The freshly squeezed juice was delicious, the house made jam was the best I've ever had (wish that I could take it home!), pancakes were super fluffy, eggs cooked perfectly and perfectly seasoned salmon. By the time we were done our meal the restaurant became more busy. I would recommend arriving early as the place is very small to ensure that you get a seat. They also take reservations on their website. It's hard to find a proper brunch spot in Paris but they are becoming more popular. Cafe Mimosa is my favorite spot. I would chose this over the other more popular ones in a heartbeat!

Hubby got the pancake which was yummy and it had a nice floral flavor to it. Definitely something different. I have the caviar eggs with smoke salmon. The eggs were cooked perfectly! Silky smooth eggs!! The salmon tasted great. We would definitely go back if we were ever in the neighborhood.

One of my favorite spot in Paris!…read more I'll be honest, back when I lived in France I never spent too much time looking for nice spots to eat out, just because it seemed easier back then and France wasn't about reviewing and online sharing the good stuff (yes we can look greedy sometimes). But since that time I married someone from the great United States of America so you know my habits must have changed... Looking for a decent brunch place, we end up here. I already know Pigalle's neighbourhood and I planned on taking wifey to La Butte Montmartre to be tourists in my own country so might as well eat something nearby before. Here we are waiting for quite some time in front of Café Marlette on a sunny day of June. Finally getting a table outside, ordering two Le l'Ilôt for nearly 25€ each. In one word : worth it ;D I already know you don't need a description of the food, I took photos instead. Not the instagram filtered ones, real photos. The one I take so y'all can see what it looks like but that don't make you feel like it's an awesome place because of the photoshop work on it. The reason why you feel it's awesome, it's because I spent time writing about it. Food seemed real, something I missed while living overseas. Homemade, fresh juice and sweet hot chocolate. Carbs OD will happen for sure but I don't care. Service was friendly which I'm not used to when in France so shout out to the team for that. Gluten Free options are here for the weak bellies, and it's also a bakery so you can pick up pastries and eat them outside enjoying the streets of Paris (depending on where you go lol). It was such a nice spot, we spent a week in Paris and wifey asked to return to Café Marlette. So you guessed it, we went back there! Please go, try it, enjoy it and let me know how you felt about it. A bientôt!

Fun little place with outside as well as a few inside tables. Country French style. Friendly…read moreservice and quick with the food. Just a simple breakfast fast of tea, baguette with butter and jam and yogurt with honey. All of which was excellent!
