A lovely, cozy spot serving authentic French dishes. The atmosphere is romantic and intimate, perfect for a date night, groups, or special evening. The food is absolutely delicious, and the servers are friendly, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. My only wish is for a more expanded French wine selection--but overall, it's a charming restaurant well worth visiting !! read more

We happened upon this restaurant during our honeymoon in Paris. We had our eyes set on another restaurant, but when they were filled up, we had to find a back up. This was a cute looking restaurant with seating outdoors, overlooking the street, and the menu looked good. The server was prompt, friendly, and patient when it took us a moment to decide what we wanted. Unfortunately, the quality of the food did not live up to the rest. The French onion soup and escargot were decent (nothing special) but the sea bass tasted off and later that evening, my husband didn't feel so well. With all of the wonderful cuisine you can find, I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

Took my fiancé here on a trip to Paris and it was a phenomenal place. The owner gave us so many tips about Paris, and gave us so many corrections on our plan that we had which was from a Travel Guide that was quite flawed we found out. Rachel gives amazing service - fantastic coffee. read more

@Eating.Drinking: Paris. * The city of love. Home to the Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge, Notre Dame and boulangeries on every street. * There is an array of stunning cuisine but the one meal that shines through was actually a very simple set menu breakfast at Cafe De Paris. * Freshly baked croissant Freshly baked bread Jams Freshly squeezed juice Omelette Fresh coffee * All of that for just €13! * Not only that, I felt like I was on a Parisian film set. The location exemplifies Parisian lifestyle, with a gentle buzz as the locals go about their Sunday morning activities, buying produce from boulangeries and fresh food from fish, meat and cheese stalls just across the street. The perfect setting for a wonderful traditional Parisian breakfast. * www.cafedeparissaintgermain.com * 10 rue de buci, Paris, France read more

Our Parisian friend didn't know where to go in this touristy part of her city. The five of us decided to just try this place, alert for "Waikiki" or "Times Square" prices and portions. Friendly enough brasserie, with a simple (for France!) menu. And, I got to enjoy foie gras, which many U.S. restaurants now cannot serve thanks to government Big Brothers. Would I return to Café de Paris? Nah. That'd be like eating all the time at the same taco stand in Los Angeles. There are too many quaint bistros and brasseries to locate and try in the City of Light. read more

DO NOT VISIT- ZERO STARS!!! Mice in the kitchen and The WORST service I have ever had. Yes, I understand some French hate Americans, but this server took it to another level. My 15 year old daughter (a vegetarian) ordered the only vegetarian pasta dish. Tim, our server (and I think the only waiter in the restaurant) brought out our meals and her pasta had sausage in it. Tim- started yelling at my daughter telling her that she ordered meat and that is what he served. He insisted that she was wrong and started cussing at us in French (yes, I'm fluent). I stood up and asked Tim to leave and requested a manager. He continued to yell at my daughter. I stepped in front of him to try and excuse him and he put his finger in my face and called me (in French) a stupid American girl. I again requested the manager and the chef came out. ****all while this was happening, the two American families sitting behind me came to assist. They also had terrible service from Tim. AND they also showed me a video of a mouse that was running around the kitchen- yes a picture of a mouse just before we were served our meal and before Tim chastised my little girl. Terrible. DO NOT VISIT!!! read more

Four stars for the location, 2 for the food, 3.5 for the wine. Stayed in a fifth floor vrbo rental on the fantastic rue de buci, so this place was one of our main stops on the walk back after a long night on the town. Very friendly, accessible, great for people-watching, and having a good night cap. Really good bread, crispy fries, and decent soups. If you go during beaujolais season, this place really jollies it up. Hence, be festive and order a few bottles and relive the hijinks of the evening. Very friendly service and convenient. read more

My girlfriend and I had oysters and a couple glasses of wine here and it was delicious. The oysters were from Brittany, France. For main course I had the scallops and she had the duck. Nice atmosphere to people watch, walk around after dinner, etc... It was a bit pricey, but I guess that is typical. And I want to thank you. read more

This cafe is located on an exciting street with many cafes, shops, and tourists passing by. There is a lot of action. We simply enjoyed some wine while watching all of the festivities of the street. read more

Delicious fir a quick bite and a dink. We had a large appetizer with a terrific variety of cheeses (6) and 5 typescript meats. Served with a basket of crusty bread. We also enjoyed a bowl of onion soup that was to dye for. The server was very friendly and accommodating. read more

We are staying at Hotel de Buci just up the street and one if ny children saw guacamole and chips as we walked by the other day. We decided to go there and give it a try. We ordered 2 of the guac and chips and they were very good. I also had a half dozen of the butterfly oysters and they were very fresh and delicious. I had a glass of a 2016 cabernet recommended by the waiter and it was very nice. Ny wife had a cocktail that was very refreshing and tasted like grapefruit. I would recommend this place read more

We ate here for our first night staying in the St. Germain des Prés area - the food was delicious, felt authentic, not as touristy as it may look, and service was prompt and polite. Reasonable prices, and great location. Highly recommended. read more

Just down the street from our hotel and along the small Rue de Buci, this little spot is good for people watching. Since it was open a little later on a Monday night, it was a perfect spot to grab a little nibble. I would say that the food is just average, but the location bumps it up and our server was very sweet with a smile. Stick with basic fare and you'll be cool. read more

Was amazing food had the chicken and it was to die for, never had such juicy chicken at a restaurant before, the service was second to none so friendly and nice read more

This was the Paris experience I was looking forward to. The staff was fantastic and friendly. I started with N 2 Degree oysters from Provence which were fantastic. I had been really hoping to try them while in Paris and did not disappoint. Afterwards I had escargot which was equally as delicious. Served in a fantastic butter sauce and a perfect texture. For the main course I had the grilled duck with honey sauce and it was absolutely delicious. The duck was done to perfection and every piece was a delight. Dessert I had the puff pastry filled with ice cream and the creme brulee. Both were portions enough for two people and very very good. They also had a belgium beer. Thank god because I can't handle anymore english or french beer. read more

We stumbled into this spot, lured by the oysters on display and dismayed by the waitstaff snobbery and tourist-mill-like atmosphere at the likes of Cafe' Flore, etc. around the corner (where menus are shoved in your face and the three most expensive items are pointed out to you as "specialties"). The waitstaff here at the generically named Cafe' de Paris on a nearby and less busy sidestreet was very pleasant and bilingual. The oysters were divine, although pricey. The cheapest options of the most recommended variety (Gilardeau) comes at 16.50 Euros for 1/2 dozen. The onion soup with cheese was good enough, but the complimentary baguette was outstanding. The coq au vin was delicious and tender. It was a cool but sunny January day and we sat under the heaters outside to people watch. It was, however, warm, cozy and full of charm inside, and you would not miss out by enjoying the indoors in cool weather. I would recommend this place without hesitation. Expect lunch to run in the range of 50-60 Euro for two. read more

Simple, fun and relatively inexpensive, [really enjoyed the wait staff], funny and humorously sarcastic towards the idiotic customers who wouldn't even acknowledge their existence... guess you had to be there.. Busy little 'typical' left bank eatery, good food, good desserts, nice inexpensive vin de maison, great service on a cold February night, very appreciative of our attempted french and the service was prompt and not fussy... Will return on my next visit... read more

One of the fews places open for breakfast before 9 am. They have a variety of choices to select from. This place is mostly full of tourist but if you are looking for an omelette with ham or smoke salmon & toast, it is here. They have fresh squeeze orange juice. Their lunch and dinner menu also has hamburger and fries, in case your homesick. It is good place for people watching in the evening. read more

I'll give this 4 stars because we had a good experience. The food was on the better side of "ok". The service was good. The people watching and ambiance was terrific. The Cafe de Paris is on Rue De Buci which is a great street to walk down with tons of cafe's, pubs, and stores. read more

I arrived at 630 on a Friday (which I now know is very early for dinner in France in the summer) but it was still packed. I ordered lamb chops which turned out not to be lamb chops (were actually shoulders). Wasn't too disappointed by the switch until I tasted them. They were not good. After that had some amazing Camembert with some wine. Then closed with a creme brûlée that was just average and a huge 1L beer. Great place to have a beer an appetizers. Perfect for people watching. And a friendly and English speaking wait staff (and menu). Maybe a good place for a burger,but I wouldn't recommend any food that requires a special touch. 4 stars for overall experience, but 2 stars on food alone. read more

We found this restaurant by chance wandering around the Rue De Buci and are glad we did. We had 3 children with us who are picky eaters and everyone enjoyed their meals plus sitting outside and enjoying the views was also a treat. We got escargot to start which were very tasty. My mother in law and I ordered Beef Bourginon and it was delicious, one of the best i've had in Paris. My daughter got an omelette, my older son got a croque monsieur sandwich and my youngest got steak, all with fries, and they all enjoyed it. My wife ordered the goat cheese salad and liked her meal a lot as well. We finished with crepe brûlée and a small chocolate cake, these were both a terrific way to end a great meal with the family. read more

Two words. Tourist. Trap. There are many amazing culinary experiences to be had in Paris. Why go to a tourist trap and miss out on a better experience? Even in the hit-or-miss brasserie category, this place doesn't cut it. Food is okay. Not stellar. Not as fresh as many places. And not varied. My steak came with a Bearnaise that was so lemony and stale it was an embarrassment to the plate. My wife's seafood quenelles were tasty, but buried in so much cheese they could have been served at any major chain restaurant in the US. Service was sullen, hurried and inattentive. Our server barked questions, didn't listen to answers -- he spent his time looking elsewhere. We were speaking French, we were polite and non-demanding, but he still treated us like garbage. Rushed, bored, whatever. Ruder than need be (our rudest service in a full week of eating out in Paris). The worst was being scammed for water. We were asked whether we wanted flat or fizzy water. We said flat, thinking that it would be a carafe, as it had been everywhere else, of tap water. Instead, we got a bottle of flat Evian that cost a whopping 8 euros. This is a clear tourist manipulation that left us furious and disgusted. We had amazing culinary experiences of all kinds in Paris. This place was NOT one of them. We should have known to walk out before ordering, but lesson learned. Avoid this joint and pick one of the many amazing options within a block or two. If you want patio on which to have a drink, try it, but be prepared for the service to treat you with disdain. read more

Nice location... Food not so much..had onion soup which was average and also the duck which was tough and cold. The veggies that came with the duck were soggy and had a disgusting fish after taste... For 40 euros, I would expect a better meal. Will not return. M read more

Food was good. I had the flank steak. It was a bit hard side but it was seasoned well. My husband had the beef stew and it was delicious. A very nice atmosphere and the service was attentive. read more

an excellent spot for a simple meal or coffee break on a lively pedestrian-market street. have not had a bad meal here in the 12 years since the first. standouts: enormous braised lamb shanks, steak frites, poulet rôti, salade aux foies de volaille and good 'ol american burgers. inexpensive and big-portioned. and views to boot! read more

Avoid Cafe de Paris. Mediocre food. Two times during the meal, the waiter tried to press for more expensive wine than we had ordered and pointed out on the menu. Not a good value and at the end, the waiter said we should tip, first implying that it was not included in the bill (15% service is included in every restaurant bill in France by law) then when challenged he just said we should tip him. read more

Very nice spot for excellent seafood. It's classy but relaxed. Great waiters. Nice wines. Its in a fun pedestrian street. I lived down the street for 3 years and I ate here a lot for the food, fun, and just wallowing in the Paris lifestyle. I get the oysters starters, some Sancerre and the fish special usually. Simply a great dining experience. Do not go if you're in a hurry, relax, smile, enjoy. Have a glass of wine. read more

Our hotel breakfast was trop cher so we walked over to one of my favorite streets in the area and found cafe de Paris for breakfast. Despite the generic name, breakfast was perfect. A fresh baguette, pain au chocolate, croissants, an omelet and few espressos, everyone was happy. Nice friendly waitstaff, fairly priced food. read more

Good value, excellent food, atmosphere, and service. The escargot were outstanding and so was the onion soup. Waiters were friendly and efficient. The had some excellent house wines at a good price. We had better meals in Paris, but not without paying a lot more! read more

I really love this cafe. My mom and I love eating and drinking coffee here for breakfast. The cheese and charcuterie platter is amazing. And most of the staff is hardworking and kind. The reason I decreased by one star is because the desserts aren't great and they have a couple of very rude servers. Other than that... it's great. Good wine. read more

My husband and daughter enjoyed their meals here, and I enjoyed the people watching and wine. I did taste my family's dishes and didn't think there food was that great, but it wasn't what I would have ordered for myself, so they told me I'm being unfair. They really liked it. The waiter was the nicest we've had since we arrived. read more

If I wasn't hungry, I could read the paper all day, just not here. "Modern" to me in France just means tacky and poor quality. In all, perfect that no one took my order, so I excused myself to L'Atlas across the street, which was more than welcoming, authentic French style and delicious fresh croissants and omelette avec fromage. Not interested in giving them a chance now that I have found L'Atlas. read more

Absolutely the most embarrassingly bad meal I've ever had in Paris. As an indication, I ordered the Entrecote and IT WAS COOKED ON ONLY ONE SIDE. How indifferent, incompetent, or inebriated must a chef be to succeed in this? The replacement was mediocre, left 3/4 uneaten and no offer was made to strike it from the menu. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE SCOURGE IT IS. read more

The Rue de Buci (the street on which this restaurant is located) is a Paris treasure and stopping to have a drink on this street is a must-do on a beautiful summer night. Sit on the terrace and embrace the vibrant culture on display. But only a drink. Go eat around the corner at one of the delicious places on the Rue de Seine. Again: have a drink on the terrace! But go elsewhere to eat. The Cafe de Paris is expensive and far from the best place to eat in the area. read more

Lovely, great for breakfast and lunch. Nice menu with good prices and friendly staff. We sat outside and enjoyed our experience very much - rue de buci is buzzing and we had a great time relaxing, drinking, eating and people watching. Nothing special, but a nice local go-to spot. read more

Yes, this place was very touristy, but it's me the veal kidney girl. (La Poule au Pot had awesome kidneys) But this place had the perfect sauce - Veal Kidneys in Herb and Armagnac Sauce. Even though it was 2nd day in a row of having a veal kidney dish, I still love it. The sea bass dish was also very good. read more

I was happy with the food and the location. Great service and enjoyment on a wonderful Parisian evening.

Keep walking or grab a sandwich next door from the case. Pleasant service but awful food. I know I know...the name said it all but we were hungry and tired of walking. read more

Great Café! They're so kind, they gave me another bowl of fries when a gigantic bee landed on my fries and walked all over it! Definitely a place I would come back to with the food being great! read more

This is my favorite cafe on Rue de Buci. I always come here at least 2-3 times when I take a trip to Paris. They have the best French Onion Soup I have EVER tasted, it's an absolute must try here. I also highly recommend the Chicken Paillard. They have both French and English menus if you can't read French, this was very useful for my girlfriend who was traveling with me. I also find the staff to be much friendlier and more welcoming than some of the other cafes on the block, but I guess it always depends on who you get and what type of day they're having. Also have been very pleased with the consistency in quality among the many meals I've had over the years. Will always return here! read more
