Café L'Estel - french onion soup - Cafes Near Me - Paris, 75

I came here for the first time from America. The Waitress didn't remember what anybody ordered , forgot our appetizer . We asked for crackers to go with our cheese platter and she never brought them. She brought out a soup with no spoon. After I told her that I didn't like my duck confit , she said I'll be right back and never came back with a solution. I took one look at it and it looked gray and inedible. Honestly the worst service I've ever received and worst food! My waitress was unapologetic about not even asking if I wanted something in place of the duck. She didn't care if I ate or what kind of experience I was having. Someone else at my table ordered a steak and it was Aldo disgusting and very tough to chew. Don't waste your time here at all!!! I do not recommend! read more

Café L'Estel - This is duck! - Cafes Near Me - Paris, 75

We stopped by this cute little restaurant while wandering the streets of Paris. We were seated quickly, and the food and wine were fantastic! We started with tomates di mozzarella di bufala (tomatoes with buffalo mozzarella), and you could tell the mozzarella was freshly made. For my entree, I went with the magret de canard, frites (duck breast and fries), which was excellent. I finished my meal with a crème brûlée, and I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. Overall this was a perfect meal in Paris. Do yourself a favor and skip the restaurant that was on the corner with a line around the block and come here instead! read more

This is a quaint little place close to our hotel. Our taxi driver told us to look for the small places that are on side streets that are also crowded. He said they serve the best food for a fair price. This was exactly that. I noticed it was small and crowded every time we passed. We popped in after a long day and they were able to seat us. We had the onion soup and the duck breast. Best meal we have had so far, and really affordable!! Stop by and skip the pricier places around the corner. read more

Very friendly neighborhood place. I was able to get along fine with my basic French. The menu has descriptions in English to help with choice and the man who helped me was fine with English and was kind to let me try my French. Open early and they make the orange juice fresh, something I love being from California. I chose the formule with un café crème, jus d'orange and pain au chocolaté. I asked if they had oat milk or almond milk but no only cow milk, so be aware if you are a plant based only person. I prefer plant based but I'm fine with not on occasion. Café crème had a nice head of thick foam and cane with sugar. Pain au chocolaté was good, typical flaky and chocolate. There is more seating in back and some outside in good weather. Great place to begin the day. read more

A totally cute little local joint. Half the crowd were regulars, or at least the staff chatted with them like they were. Super friendly. Some sidewalk seating. Food was just ok, Caesar dressing was way too much and no anchovy bite. Nothing bad, just nothing to write home about. Great spot for a beer or drink though. read more

Don't order the beef. Terrible taste. The meat was pre cooked and reheated when you order. Don't know how long it been stored in refrigerator. read more

Mr & I were walking by Café L'Estel when we hear a friendly "hello" come from inside. Seemed so inviting and we needed breakfast so we knew this was our place Omelettes and cappuccinos were the order and they were delicious. Those cappuccinos were huge and had a mountain of foam. Perfect! The omelettes were thin and delicate. The fries were crunchy & the perfect pairing to the omelette There was also freshly squeezed orange juice made for other patrons and lots of locals and happy, funny & friendly conversation. This place definitely has a close knit neighborhood feel to it and was the perfect way to begin the morning read more

Visited twice, once for drinks only and it seemed like a locals only cafe, people seemed to be regulars and joked around with each other and bar tender which we really enjoy. The food we saw coming out for people around us looked super delicious. The ambiance was very casual and authentic. Went back for drinks and lunch we're soo happy we did do. We ordered the liver steak with home fries and pork leg also with home fries. Staff was super friendly even if they didn't speak much English. If you want an authentic experience with great food and friendly staff come here! read more

The Ambiance is great the man who runs the place is very nice and speaks many languages and was very attentive but not pushy at all. We came for wine and cheese and it was 10/10. Will save this place for my next trip to Paris. Oh and great value! read more

On our way back from a night out...we needed lite bites & sips and this spot checked all the boxes. Leon provided exceptional service and recommendations. The wine and charcuterie were absolutely perfect for a crisp evening on the patio. Everything we imagined Paris to be. read more

Nice little family spot. Definitely part of the neighborhood, we hit it twice while staying nearby. Great staff, and food. Very good prices for the area. read more

Needed to kill some time before I picked up my partner from Carita around the corner It's been hot this week in Paris so a quick cold beer seemed in order if a little early at 17:30...never mind its 18:00 somewhere in the world Very pleasant sitting at the bar; nice bar staff; not expensive (given the location!). Seemed to be full of regulars, which seemed a little unusual, but OK The only offputtting thing was they also seemed to be cleaning out the men's loo...but let's not go there read more

Nothing spectacular and the menu was hard to understand for Americans. I ordered something called "vegetable" and it was just a plate of French fries? And it was €5 for fries which seems very overpriced, and they were normal fries not homemade tasting. My husband got the chicken and it was like a snack for him but €15 - not enough meat. This place must be more for the drinks and not the food, or we just didn't know what to order off of the tiny menu. The free bread was nice. read more

Needed to meet an employee here one afternoon to go over progress on a project. Left us to quietly toil away and while the place isn't overflowing with atmosphere, it's definitely charming. read more

The owner is very friendly and welcoming! If you appreciate local type cafes/bars that are quiet and good for conversation, this is the place to go. The place is unexpectedly spacious, with a homey vibe/atmosphere. We ordered drinks (champagne, a Rose) and a cheesecake dessert. I'm not usually a dessert person, but very much enjoyed my cousin's cheesecake! read more

Ok, this cafe was full of French people so I'm sure to it's great. But I can honestly only give it 3 stars. The waiter was funny and I'm sure he loved that we were Americans... but what can we do about that? My kids got the ham, cheese and walnut salad. The waiter said it was fabulous... it had no walnuts and the cruise ship salads were about the same (if you've cruised you know this isn't a compliment). I had the fish... it was ok, and the steak was super fatty. However, eating on the sidewalk in Paris on Bastille Day with a fun waiter... my experience warrants three stars. read more

Giving it a four star mainly because of the bartender. I rarely drink wine, but hey, when in Paris, right? Well I had no idea what I was doing but the bartender was super nice. Helped me pick a wine, the prices were reasonable, and he was very friendly. He asked us where we from and about ourselves. When there was another group of Americans, he introduced us and we made friends. The wine was great and the experience was fantastic. read more

This is not a real cafe. It is a bar with a bit of bar food midday. The great ratings reflect the quality of the bartender and drinks, not the food! read more

Jean Paul (bartender) is a HOOT. This is the epitome of a friendly neighborhood bar. You want to have fun...go here.

We used Yelp to find this charming little restaurant. We had them move use away from the door as it was freezing and they didn't seem to happy about it. We got tucked into to cozy corner and were very happy. Our waiter was attentive and did everything with flourish. We both had salads which were very fresh and well prepared. It seemed to be a very popular lunch spot for local workers and ladies who lunch. The hot dishes looked like rustic hearty French faire. We would go back again and save room for the cheese cake next time we are in Paris. read more

A comfortable and friendly cafe that serves good food at relatively reasonable prices in the expensive Elysée triangle area. I enjoyed the salads. read more
