Roasted duck breast. So tender and the sauce was delicious!

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.

Rib steak

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.

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

Pork with home fries and liver steak with parsley-garlic sauce and home fries.

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!

All around cheese!

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!

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.

Chicken

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.

There are a few locations of Terres de Café in Paris of differing sizes and this one in Batignolles has the perfect amount of seating and cozy atmosphere to read a book or meet with friends. On weekdays it's a nice and comfortable place to work on your laptop, provided you have your own hotspot (no WiFi here), and on weekends when computers are not allowed the ambiance is much more familial and lively. The coffee is high-quality and the employees are very knowledgeable about the beans and flavor profiles. I've enjoyed all the drinks I've had here, with my usual being a simple latte. They also sell coffee beans and Nespresso pods to go. The pastry selection is typically limited to banana bread, brownies, and cookies as they are much more focused on the coffee, but I found them to be really good anyway. The staff are friendly and make an effort to get to know their regular customers, and the café is very friendly to families and children especially on weekends. The café is conveniently located in Batignolles near plenty of other shops as well as the Mairie.

It's cozy until the person next to us started vaping and covered herself and some of us in a vaping cloud. Ew! Otherwise it wouldn't even have been too bad. We were lucky to get a table right as we walked in because another group was leaving. Looks like people were in and out ordering from the counter too. When you're done, just go to the counter to pay. Easy! Service: 5 Food came quickly but ordering took some time because one of the waitress went on break, but the other one was friendly and spoke English. The latte took a while to come out and I was already mostly done with my croissant by the time it arrived. Food: 5 The croissant looks messy and is intended to be eaten with a knife and fork, but it was delicious! Portion was perfect. You might not see it, but there is ham all underneath so each bite has ham. The sauce and runny yolk makes the dish decadent. The top part of the croissant was served vertical and I had to move it to make it more "sandwich-like". Matcha latte doesn't taste sweet at all so if you're thinking it will taste like what you'd get at Starbucks, it won't! But this is how I prefer it. The cup was super full when it arrived!! It was our first meal in Paris and was happy to have gotten good food! If I had to choose again, I'd choose to go there again for our first Paris meal!

Every had a meal where every bite feels like you just started over fresh? No getting bored with the flavors or textures, a triumph at every turn...? If not, then I urge you to try this place. A perfect case of 'don't judge a book by it's cover' as they have, in no way, tried to overdo the décor. On the walls hang old porcelain signs like you'd see in a dive bar or man-cave. Nothing trashy by any means, but not pretentious either. The food: We were feeling like pescetarians today so we went for "Salade fraícheur au saumon" (salmon salad), and "Steack de thon mi-cuit au sésame" (sesame crusted tuna steak), and shared a bottle of wine. The food was nothing short of divine, and a true description would fall as short here as describing the color green to a blind person. Both salmon and tuna were off very high quality and cooked perfectly. Again, Perfectly. The only complaint I could rummage was that the salad that bedded the salmon was overdressed, but with the very good vinaigrette and everything else, was easily excusable. The service that night only had one waitresses with any English skills, but who was quite friendly and accommodating. She was getting off work and stayed to help us, but left after we ordered. So helpful, in fact, that she insisted that if we had any issues, the restaurant would call her and she would come back down immediately, no questions asked! (She lives across the street) The service style was not rigid and high class, no fancy wine presentation here, which makes this place different than others with this quality of food, but as my wife reminded me, the world needs places like this, where you don't feel ashamed to walk in with no tie/blazer, and wearing only dark jeans and a T-shirt. It was a quiet and amazingly comfortable, yet intimate environment for a dinner indeed, with well balanced and thoughtfully prepared food. I'll be back this week no doubt!
