    Foie Gras two ways appetizer
    Brian P.

    We stopped in for lunch before starting out two day Passport at the Chateau Versailles. First positive indication-- it was filled (and I do mean filled) with only locals. But, to correct some other reviews, both waitstaff and menus are available in French and English. The food was delicious. We had the Vegetable Tartare salad and the Foie gras (traditional and brûlée versions) both of which we delicious. For entrees-- I had the Southwest duck which was amazingly well cooked, seasoned, and prepared-- moist and delicious, not gamy, fatty or dry at all. My husband has the entree of the day, which was a pork dish that was also amazing. Great people watching. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

    Had a very good lunch here. The food is really good here and when I went, the place was packed with people speaking French. I think we were the only tourists. The lady didn't speak much English and the menu is written in French so we used Google Translate to figure it out. The dishes we got were amazing. We tried the foie gras appetizer and the steak and fries. The steak was a thick cut and cooked nicely. They served the food with a salt that tasted like it had been fried in duck fat. Service was slow but isn't that the French way? If you have time to enjoy a leisurely lunch, stop by!

    Friendly staff and delicious food. Definitely a locals spot, but as tourists we were made to feel very welcome!

    The staff don't speak much English, so it was up to me and my woefully insufficient French to navigate the menu.

    My 500th review, dedicated to Bubar... This bar is magical…read more There's just something about this spot where you know so much has happened within these 4 walls over years and years. I fell in love with it a couple of weeks ago during my first trip to Paris, where I ended up visiting it not once but twice. It's a dive wine bar, but with so much character, in every nook and cranny. I had read reviews on both TripAdvisor and Yelp, albeit dated. There is no name listed on doorway so could be hard to miss, but something about the red lighting and energy just drew me in. (That and some trusty reviews online...) The first night was a little intimidating at first. A group of older gentlemen, all friends and all seemed to know the owner, were deep into conversation at the bar. However, as soon as I walked in, solo, that very owner, Jean-Loup (he made sure I captured the correct spelling, vs. some renditions in other reviews ;)) warmly greeted and welcomed me. From there on, it was bliss. For me personally it was a pivotal moment because just a few days prior to that, I was still a bit fearful about exploring the city solo with very little grasp of French, but that night, I felt brave and wandered by Bubar. So glad I did. Jean-Loup not only nailed a few wines for me that were all sheer perfection (there's a daunting list but disregard that and just tell him what you're in the mood for because he'll find something spot-on), but offered a small plate of nibbles, after asking if I preferred 'fruits or vegetables'...a sweet, personal touch. I enjoyed a wonderful night just respectfully observing his interactions with his buddies (clearly he is very adored here, and a local staple,) while he checked in on me regularly to ensure I was doing fine. Such an amazing evening. The following night I had to stop by again just to say goodbye. I simply won't be forgetting Jean-Loup and Bubar anytime soon. For anyone reading this who will be venturing into the bar, he mentioned he is not the most tech-savvy but was happy to hear he has so many positive reviews, and that I wanted to write a review (as the last one was from a year ago)...please let him know "Jennifer from Los Angeles" said hello, and mention this review. :) He's the absolute best.

    Super eclectic magical bar. Off the beaten path and such such a gem. Sat at the inside bar and…read moretalked with the owner for a good hour. He took us on a tour glass by glass. Not a lot of French wine if that's what you're looking for, but a lot of wine from his travels all over the world. Place looks like a shrine to his life and travels, filled with music, wine and various souvenirs. Wonderful time.
