Petit Déjeuner Français
Patrick M.

Good breakfast. Polite and professional service. Food was delicious. Definitely a place I'll go back

Sandy J.

I really like this place. Bien Sur, I am no connoisseur of French cuisine but I can attest from a foreigner's perspective that this is definitely one of the best ones I've had in Paris. Located right by Gare du Nord it is alway busy but very convenient to grab a bite while you're waiting for your train, late night stroll to get some food, and the food is always good. Language barrier is not huge- you'll be ok if you don't speak French. They are very patient and friendly here. Food also comes out decently fast for a French place which can take 30 mins-1hr depending on how busy it gets Their steak tartare is well made and melts in your mouth- the right blend of sour with the onions. Definitely must call this if you're in France and trying to find something very French you won't find in other countries I think their Moules Frites was the best I've had around in Paris Call the Escargot if you've never had the snails before- for those who wonder what these guys taste like they are chewy scallops or chewy clams. No slime. their Poulet was also excellent- well seasoned and the flavor is inside the meat after being baked. If you like chicken, get this dish French pastas aren't known for tomato based- think a light creamy buttery sauce paired with chopped up smoke salmon or chorizo which I highly recommend ordering if you like a pasta dish Their Grog is my fav so far in the Grogs I've called around Paris. Some places make it super hard flavored and others make it too diluted but this place seems to make it just right.

Meat and cheese platter.

After a long day in Paris, this was the perfect spot for a nibble before taking the train back to London. Service was quick and friendly, and the meat and cheese platter a wonderful and very affordable at only 16.50. Some perfect French ambiance before heading to the UK.

Nutella Crepe

Friendly and attentive staff. Croissants, Buttered Bread were good as part of a breakfast special. An additional order of a Crepe was satisfactory. A lil pricey but definitely a good experience in a bustling cafe environment conveniently across from Gare De Nord Railway Station.

Located by Gare Du Nord was perfect to grab a bite and drinks while we wait to board Eurostar back to London! Paris is a bit more crowded than last each visit but the staff in this location was very friendly and almost goofy and made our stay enjoyable! Great bone marrow and escargots and those bordeaux, yum!

The burger was AWESOME!!
Erin J.

I was too scared to try anything more unique to Paris that was on the menu; I ended up getting the burger. And even though it looks plain, I was really impressed with it. It was one of the juiciest burgers I've had. The meat was so tender. The sauce on it was really great also. I'd get that burger again in a heartbeat.

My family and I (4 adults) dined here 3 times during our recent visit to Paris due to the proximity to our hotel (Hotel Whistler), and the train station (Gare du Nord) and all we can say is it was a wonderful experience! The servers were wonderful and personable and even though there was a bit of a language barrier, there was no miscommunication. The manager/co-owner was also happy to take time out and get to know us as travelers, but also loved joking around with us, even during a busy night. Of course the food was exquisite and the wine was plentiful, while prices are quite reasonable. The menu has English translations and it's easy to know what you're getting. The traditional Cassoulet was a favorite amongst us, while the steak, chicken and lamb chops are all top notch. Highly highly recommend!

Onion soup, some caramlization, medium beef broth, not too salty. Broth lighter in color than photo implies.

Fast, efficient kitchen, staff was efficient. About half tourists, half French I had La Choucroute Royale and the French onion soup, both were good. The pork shank/knee that came with Choucroute was falling off the bone! Menus in French, English, etc. Bathrooms: downstairs. Clean and functional.

Despit this restaurant being located directly in front of the train station, wait staff definitely provide better and friendly service to french speaking individuals. Tourists don't get the good service, never asked me if food was OK or if I needed anything. Even to get the check, I had to holler. Food was average, bread basked had mostly ends that were hard. No water was provided. They definitely want the business of tourists, but treatment is below average. I was just glad it was open on Christmas.

Escargot! Sooooo good.

Located across the street from Gard du Nord train station, it's an easy walk for an incredible experience. If your nervous about French dining, the staff was very friendly and helpful to English speakers, and menus are available in both French and English. Getting in the spirit of trying new things, I picked a drink from the menu that I had never tried before. As I went to take a sip, the waiter frantically rushed over and explained the I would want to cut the drink with water and ice. Another waiter nearby explained that the drink was very strong, and that to sip it alone would taste awful. They were completely right. Even with the ice and water, I probably wouldn't order that again. But still, the waiter was friendly about it. And it was a worthwhile experience. To continue trying new things, my husband and I decided to order the escargots (snails). WOW! They were amazing. The bourbon garlic sauce was incredible and left us wanting more. If you ever have the chance, try them. We also ordered mussels, and they were equally as good. With the friendly staff, convenient location, and excellent food, you simply can't go wrong. If you're in the area definitely stop by for a meal!

Did not care for the food. Bland and pricy. Nothing we got food wise was good at all. Only thing good was the beer.

Petit endroit pour déjeuner qui a été recommander vivement…read more Le droit est très petit, ce qui permet un ambiance plus relaxe et détendu. Situés dans un des passage de Paris, cela réduit encore plus le bruit. Il y a une petite terrasse à l'extérieur. Le service est très courtois et gentil. Le menu est tout de même petit. Plusieurs pâtisseries sont disponible dans le comptoir que l'ont peu amener ou manger sur place. J'ai prit le menu qui inclus des oeufs brouillé. Le tout viens avec un pain au chocolat ou croissant, chocolat chaud ou café, les oeufs et un pain. J'ai prit un extra pour le bacon. J'ai trouvé le pain sec et sans goût, une chance qu'il y avait beurre (congelé) et de la confiture qui était bonne. Le pain au chocolat était OK. Le chocolat chaud était un chocolat de machine lavazza donc rien d'exceptionnel. Les oeufs quant à oeufs sont un hit and miss. Ce ne sont pas des oeufs pour tous le monde. Je crois qu'ils mettent trop de lait ou de crème et cela les rends très liquides. C'était passable. Je dois dire que le plus surprenant fut le prix final. Disons que pour ce prix là, je m'attendais à beaucoup mieux. Pas un mauvais endroit certain, d'ailleurs les multiples pâtisseries semble vraiment bonne et j'en prendrais sûrement en passant devant. Mais je ne reprendrai pas le menu déjeuner, beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est.

One of the best patisseries in Paris. My French teacher from Paris highly recommended this and so I…read morecame here with my family on a Sunday afternoon. We sat on the second floor but there is seating in the passage way as well. They do have wine in addition to coffee, hot chocolate, and tea. We tried the pistachio tart, the acrulier (like a fancier Ferrero rocher) and Kalingo (a chocolate cake). I had the gunpowder green tea while my sister had the hot chocolate. I honestly liked their hot chocolate more than the one at Angelina. It was rich but not chalky and the perfect amount of sweetness. The pistachio tart was the best one we've ever had and revived our spirits after a long day of walking. You pay downstairs and credit cards are accepted.
