The food was served tapas style, and they have deals such as getting 5 (or 10!) plates at a discounted price. We ordered 5 for the two of us, but the tapas here are much larger than they are in the states, so we were STUFFED and didn't even finish three fourths of it! Well worth the money. Because it is a more authentic place, most waiters didn't speak English. They were helpful to the best of their ability, and I would highly suggest giving them a try even if you're not overly confident in your French!

This place we found as a late-night dinner. We were walking around Paris all day and we just…read morefinished at the Lourve. We were all hungry and were looking for food. Unfortunately, it was past 10 pm so a lot of places were closed. We were getting frantic trying to find a restaurant that was still open. We finally pinged this place on GoogleMaps. I have to say, this place is the definition of a hidden gem. It's a small French tapas place off on a side street that unless you were really searching, you would probably walk by it in favor of larger restaurants. I don't know if our waiter was also the owner or the sommelier, but either way, his English was limited. Luckily, my fiancee's sister speaks French so she was able to translate the menu (to an extent). As such, this was a tapas restaurant so everything was small plates and meant to be shared. I don't remember the exact name of everything we ordered, but I remember a Pad Thai, a beef dish, smoked salmon, octopus, and a fried dish (maybe calamari, but I don't remember). The food is excellent and packed with flavor. You'd be surprised how filling these little dishes can be. If you ever come to Paris, I recommend going off the beaten path for this little piece of heaven.

It's a small cafe at the end of a narrow street full of Chinese restaurants, and every inch of the walls is covered with photos of musicians dating back 40 years or so. We had a great time, but were alarmed to find we were all of 30 years older than the oldest visitor in the cafe that night! The music changes nightly; we were entertained by a female singer who brought guitar, accordion.... and percussion instruments, which she proceeded to hand around The drinks are reasonably priced, and the simple but excellent food is cooked to order. Well worth a visit.

The menu is on a chalk board- drink bottles are around the bar. A quick café to go from the bar is only 1€ - fancy that! Petite Dejuner is 6€ with a choice of options. Soups and Salads were very fresh with interesting flavors. The little cookie that comes with the cafe reminds me of Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa with Hard Marshmallows- and that's a good memory. The space is a bit small and too intimate at times for my midwestern farm sized body- but other than that- everything else is lovely.

We visited the La Villette area twice and ate at Les Bancs Publics each time. The first time was…read morebased on the Yelp review for places in the area, the second because we loved it so much the first time. The restaurant changes their dishes and desserts every day, offering a fish of the day, a meat of the day, and a few other dishes. The entrecote or rumsteak options are always available. We all ate the lentils with grilled octopus at our first visits. Today, two of us had the entrecote and one had the tuna. We also each had a different desert (fraisier, plum tart, flan de coco) and did not leave a crumb behind on any of it. The team there is careful in sourcing their ingredients. This is a friendly place. Tourists and locals are welcomed just as warmly. The service is really fast and friendly. It is busy. You may want to make reservations if you are on a tight deadline.

I had come here in fairer weather for a daytime view (don't come in the summertime - too many…read morepeople) and was pleasantly surprised by the not-too-crowded atmosphere of late September. Francis, the host of the restaurant on the floor just below the rooftop terrace, very kindly accommodated our group of 8 that showed up without reservations, thinking to chance it. Don't do what we did (though we only had to wait about an hour for a table because we showed up early, and that was easy to do on the rooftop) and make sure to book in advance. It's a bit pricey, foodwise, but it's good, and the restaurant atmosphere is lively and inviting.

To get up to the rooftop bar, you get in a tiny elevator (tiny for Americans). The night we went, it was pretty chilly so they had a tent up. You could still get views of the city but it was nice to be out of the elements. It's a pretty small space but there is a ton of seating. The bar is pretty big and the bartenders were friendly and attentive. They kept telling us to let them know if we didn't like the drink so they can make something else. I can't remember what our drinks were called but they were really good. Overall Avery fun time there and would definitely go back.

The waiter was great. My adult daughter is a little picky, so he ribbed her (You flew all the way to Paris and you're going to eat fettucine alfredo?!) and encouraged her to eat the Beef Cheek with Foie Gras. It was Amazing and the best dish we ordered! -Beef Cheek w/ Foie Gras: The beef cheek was tender and divine. Grilled foie gras was lovely. Comes with gorgeous potatos and a celery/onion puree. -Creme Brulee: really good. -Pan Fried Scallops: comes with mushroom risotto. Delicious. -Grilled Rib Steak: with pepper sauce and french fries. Unfortunately, not the best cut of meat. -Duck Foie Gras w/ Chutney: Apparently, I am not a fan of foie gras terrine At one point in the night, my husband made eye contact with the waiter across the restaurant and held up his glass to indicate that he would like another. Apparently, the waiter signaled across the room to the bartender who brought it right away without the waiter even coming back our way! It was like magic or a Jedi mind trick!

I don't know if I'd come back here or recommend it to others. I feel like there's better French restaurants you can try.
