We had a lovely dinner here! Four of us had no reservation but the staff accommodated is on a Tuesday during prime time. The escargots were amazing, as were the rognons de veau, if that's your thing. Everyone in our party enjoyed their dinner, which encompassed a wide variety of offerings. Highly recommend! It's in a lovely neighborhood and service is very friendly too! read more

Had the loveliest picota de veal - tender, full of flavour. Hit the spot after a full day of sight seeing. Had a beautiful Beaujolais to go with it. read more

Camille - Tender veal - Bistros Near Me - Paris, 75

A good standby when visiting The Marais. I have visited a few times and always leave happy. The traditional bistro has seating outside when the weather is nice. I also like that when dining alone they do not stick me in a dark corner and forget about me. The food: traditional French fare - duck, entrecôte, veal, scallops. I have had the duck breast and mashed potatoes and the lamb chops with ratatouille. Both were excellent. The ratatouille was amazing - flavorful and felt like some care went into the preparation. My starter was a warm cheese salad - a big gooey slab of cheese on toast over a simple salad. Hits the spot. They offer several wines by the glass for about 5€-8€. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse which was average, and I probably would not get it again. Service is a bit better than most places. The waiters speak English and they have English-printed menus which are helpful. It does get quite full as shoppers in the Marais heed the call of hunger, so either plan to arrive around 7pm or make a reservation. read more

What an excellent find! My friend and I chose this place on a whim one rainy weekday, and we will most certainly be going back. The lunch menu that day featured filet of duck breast in a delicious blackcurrent sauce, with creamy potatoes. The amount was just perfect, the duck was tender, and I took my time to savor it all. I started with an endive-roquefort salad with walnuts (also extremely delicious), whereas my friend chose the plat-dessert option and had a slice of apple tart. The staff is kind and attentive (though a bit absent-minded during the lunch rush). If you're in the Marais and looking for a stellar meal and some of that ol' Parisian charm, this place is a must (and the number of regulars can attest to that). read more

Wow if I could only describe to you the dinner we had here tonight. The lamb chops I had were so tender and flavorful, the ratatouille that came with it was heavenly. Lucky for me, I was able to finish my daughter's heavenly entrecôte steak, tasted my son's divine fillet mignon and 'Georgian potatoes' and my wife's awesome Duck. I thank the people of this restaurant for a very memorable dinner and the nice service that we received. We'll be back soon. Merci beaucoup! read more

Probably the worst steak frites ever. Extremely tough and fatty. The opposite of Le Relais de l'Entrecôte. Only redeeming quality: no line - for obvious reasons. read more

So far the best restaurant I've been in Paris! Staff was very friendly and professional, they looked very efficient. We were lucky to find table in this crowded restaurant and compared to the amount of customers food came quickly. And the taste of the food was purely spectacular! Our waiter was very great, he even gave us some special potatos to taste... Only bad thing was that I was ordering lamb, but the waiter came to tell it run out. Then I ordered veal, but they run out of it too. I had to settle for beef, but it was perfect. The prices were higher than I expected, but deffinetly worth it! If you have time, you should also take a walk around the neighbourhood, because it was the most beautiful area I've seen in Paris. read more

Great place for a quiet dinner in La Marais! Definitely try the escargot and the duck breast

Nice décor, but food rather disappointing. Steak is pan fried not grilled, stringy and fatty. For €24 it's just way too expensive. Fries are terrible as well read more

Touristy beyond belief! I went primarily because a friend lives close by, and he managed to get a reservation last minute. It was "convenient." My philosophy is that the dining experience should be about the whole experience. This restaurant did not deliver. It appears that all the Americans and foreigners were banned to the back room, and the few French if any were given the tables by the front windows. Although I think the food was average, it was not memorable #1 and #2 it was so loud I got hoarse from screaming at my friends, besides who can remember the food if one gets a headache after leaving. The service was excellent, after all they cater to Americans, who love to tip. I would rather go to a more authentic local French bistro/resto. I'll leave this resto to the loud tourists! read more

The reviewer who said the menu is only on a chalkboard in French is wrong!! They have both printed and chalkboard in English! Also, the two waiters we dealt with spoke fluent English and were very responsive. The food and wine was great too! Prices a bit high, but this is Paris! We had Veal Picatta and Beef ratatouille, apple crumble, Cote du Rhone wine. Magnifique! read more

Excellent pot au feu and green pea soup - best we had in Paris, at very reasonable prices. Friendly service for us as English speaking tourists. Lovely ambiance. Highly recommended. read more

Great cafe in the heart of Le Marais. Incredible gazpacho and the lamb chops were great as well. Great spot to start a walk through a very trendy and historical area! Would recommend. read more

Today, I needed a steak. I chose the Filet of beef with roasted sliced potatoes and house made béarnaise sauce. The meat was so tender you could cut it with a regular knife. The sauce and steak were cooked to perfection. My husband had Stew Beef. I have had Stew Beef before in France and it is very different from the American version. It is served with finishing salt, Dijon Mustard and cornichon pickles and a bone with marrow.The potatoes and carrots are boiled and served with little or no broth. Not my favorite food in France but the taste was good for the dish. read more

Good traditional French fare. Cute corner spot, and friendly English speaking staff.

Had the luncheon special. It was okay. Sat outside mid afternoon - they weren't busy all all. While my first course was brought fairly quickly and main course service was fine (although no explanation of the sauce), dessert was another story. I was the only one eating and waited over 30 minutes for the dessert. I finally gave up, went inside to pay, of course paying for the dessert because it was part of the luncheon special. I was hard pressed to give it 3 stars. Would never return or recommend. read more

I would echo what Mike said. While this isn't cutting edge gourmet, it's not bad either. I could see this as a place worth going to when you want decent food, at a decent price with no surprises. read more

A fairly casual bistro in a quiet neighborhood, we had a solid, reasonably priced meal. We stopped in for a late lunch - too late for lunch formule, but the ala carte pricing wasn't unreasonable. The steak frites, seafood, and ratatouille were solid dishes. The house wines quiet the bargain - unexpectedly good for the price. Plus the friendly young waiter flirted appropriately with our teenage daughter, making her day read more

i was in paris for several weeks + camille's became my hang out away from home. the food is classic french, affordable + yummy + the staff are even yummier. they are friendly, charming + helpful. + it does not hurt that everyone is beautiful. thanks 'jason bourne', clark kent + joe. i miss u all + your fab vin + tasty food. merci!!! read more

Good quality brasserie/cafe. We came for dinner around 8:30pm on a Sunday night; they were quite full. Between us we had an aperitif, a tasty salad with warm cheese, the duck and the filet mignon plats, good wine by the carafe, a cognac and pannacotta for dessert - all for a fair price by Paris standards. For me this would not be a destination, but it felt like a it could be a local favorite: when we left at 10:30 there were several tables with people who'd come out to eat there alone. It was fairly relaxed and comfortable. The food was quite good. The wait staff were amiable. read more

Agree it's a casual bistro. Arrived 9pm on Saturday night and waited 10 mins for a table which was great after just checking into the hotel - our note recommended this stop. We enjoyed the leeks starter, pot au feu (rocked) and sea bass. Service was polite. Easy, dependable, fun! read more

I had a pleasant experience at this restaurant in my visit to Paris. Servers and host were equally polite. There is an english menu. The duck was fantastic - cooked perfectly, seasoned well and paired great with the mashed potatoes. The dessert menu is all in French. I randomly pointed to one, the chocolate mousse, and I could not have made a better choice. Highly recommend for a splurge night in Paris. read more

This was one of the few places in Paris where I saw children eating. The wine and bread were superb,, on par with everything else we had in Paris. I ordered the lamb which was cooked perfectly - it was so good that my 2 year old daughter ate half of it. The potatoes were well seasoned as well. The duck was also cooked and seasoned to perfection. The pot au chocolat at the end was light yet thick. My daughter snatched it out of my wife's hand and ate most of the portion. read more

Five stars for the best service we have had in Paris (day 7), along with excellent food and a good wine list. We had to wait for about 10 minutes when we arrived at 1:30, and almost left because the prix fixe menu was higher than what we have found in many other parts of town ($25 euros) and that was for just two courses, also there were only 3-4 choices per course. However, I'm glad we stayed and waited because it was worth it. The only downside is that they really I jam you in (the tables on either side of us were only a couple of inches apart) but we had friendly neighbors and a good time overall. This place is worth seeking out, especially if you are in the Marais near the Musee Carnavalet. read more

Wonderful restaurant serving typical French cuisine. We had the pot au feu, entrecôte Parisienne and the blanquette de veau and every dish was excellent. Try the tarte Maison a la framboise (raspberry). Staff was very welcoming and kind. A great place! read more

My girlfriends and I had lunch after shopping and it was wonderful. Food and service was superb. MAke reservations!

We had a lovely meal here. Staff quickly found English menus for us and were efficient but not intrusive. The food was good and reasonably priced ( but not the cheapest). The desserts were lovely- between us we had a créme brûlée, Panna cotta and the tarts of the day which was a creamy based, raspberry covered concoction. We were all very happy with our choices. read more

We've eaten here many times when we are here in Paris. We just arrived on 02/06/12 and we decided to have lunch (1pm). I ordered tartare de boeuf (steak tartare) and by 5pm, I became violently ill for 48 hours with terrible diarrhea. What a terrible experience to start my holiday. read more

I was craving a good meat meal and I was told this place would satisfy my craving. I'm glad to say it did! I had the steak and it was delicious. The side fries were good as well. Overall good meal. My experience with the restaurant is positive as well. I went at dinner time, without a reservation and did not have wait for a table. My waitress was attentive and spoke three different languages. I thought the prices were a bit too high at first, but after the meal, it was well worth it. Would definitely come back. read more

walked by here in summer 2000 and the chalkboard special posted on the sidewalk screamed out to me. salade aux foie de volaille! could not resist.. i came back several times over lunch & dinner just for this garlicky chicken liver sauté over fresh greens. have tried most of the menu since or at least sampled from dining mates plates. not gourmet but a very safe choice. my comfort food in the marais. read more

Third day lunch and thank goodness. I was hungry and we've been walking around for a long time. Then it started to rain. Hubby ordered beef chop and fries and I had bass fillets with spinach. It was good. A little pricey for lunch - 59.10 euros including tip. Service was okay. The waitress was not very attentive. I ordered cafe after lunch and two other tables got theirs before me and I ordered first. read more

I just had the perfect unpretentious meal for lunch. Tasty fish soup and generous steak frites with sauce au bleu. My only complain is that the coffee was a little burnt. Other than that, the place is genuinely cute and busy and the waiter was courteous and fast. read more

I was the only one at our table that ordered tartare de boeuf (steak tartare) - and I was the only one who became violently ill at 4 AM, with repeated vomiting, terrible diarrhea and passed out several times. It is totally negligent for a restaurant to serve such dreadfully tainted food. read more

Amazing restaurant for my first traditional french meal in Paris! I went with 3 friends and we all were satisfied with our dishes. Don't think I could complain about one thing. read more

Unimaginative menu, but the salade nicoise was very good. Nice (if tight) sidewalk tables populated with a lot of tourists.

THis was a nice little bistro with a good selection of taditional french dishes at reasonable prices. It is in the Marais and fairly close to the jazz clubs and also the Picasso Museum among others read more

Food was really tasty, but even more importantly - they were incredibly nice (especially in the case that you don't speak French!).

Lamb chops were 1/4 in thin. Steak was also super thin. Sauce was weak. 5 days in Paris, this was the worst food we ate. Clearly, they raise their prices for the tourist crowd and lower their quality. read more

Had dinner there one evening at the end of May while visiting Paris. I had the worst steak of my life. I was all set to have steak pomme frites in a traditional french bistro but got a fatty grizzly piece of tasteless meat that was inedible. read more

Recommend making an early reservation (7:30) because by 9pm on a Monday the place is packed. Our most excellent German waitress fluent in French and English was very hospitable. Escargot and salads were terrific along with the carpaccio. Entrecôte steaks were just OK, one more rare than the other and both a little tough. Sea Bass was top notch! read more
