White asparagus with salty ice cream
Madi S.

The service is fantastic, from the moment you walk in the door! A little slow with dinner but very kind and attentive staff. The food however, I can't say the same about. Our table had the 98 euro per person tasting menu. It was verging on inedible. By the time I had my last dish, I was moving the food around on my plate to make it look like I had eaten it so that I didn't upset my friend who had taken us to dinner there. I could tell everyone else at our table had a similar opinion on the quality of the dishes. Unfortunately the only good thing was the wine and the birthday cake that we brought for dessert.

Sunday brunch at Camélia is a more elegant buffet than I'm used to. For 98€/pp you have the buffet, an entree, and coffee or juice. The buffet consists of breads, pastries, cheeses, meats Parisienne ham, jamon), a smattering of sushi, and salads. While it's not exactly extensive, it's decent. The entree choices range from fish to meat, pasta, and a vegetarian option. The menu doesn't really specify so it's vague. We ended up ordering dish and meat. Both of which were pretty tasty and well cooked. For dessert, you can select from a dessert case of fancy mousses, some mini drinks, and macrons. I think this is where you can do some real damage because they also sell these same items for quite a lot of Euro. Service is usually quite good but our server seemed inexperienced and spaced out if you ask me. The other servers (outside in the garden) seemed more professional and expeditious. This isn't exactly the type of brunch where you chow down and put away plates of food. Somehow it just didn't seem quite right given the elegant setting and fancy clientele. While we didn't leave hungry I think we probably could've eaten more. Overall, I'm glad we experienced brunch at Camélia. Would I return? For the price and selection, probably not. There are just too many other options for brunch in Paris.

Great space for meal and a drink. I had a club sandwich and it was pretty good. The fries were big and greasy - I like the thin and crispy kind and these were the opposite. Big, soft and dropping with oil. I'd come back though just to sit and enjoy the air and the space.

Veal tartare with truffle sauce. Veal was very good but couldn't taste the truffle sauce.

If your coming here for truffles, they're only in season in the winter. They don't have truffles in August. The porklet. Pork ribs with the bone removed and chicken stuff in its place. It was tender but lacked in flavor. The sauce was just salty no enough flavor or melted collegen you would expect from ribs. The veal tartare was good but the mention of truffles sauce was a joke. 5 stars for the atmosphere 3 stars for the service 3 stars for the food. It was good but at that price and small portion I expect perfection.

Amazing food, ambience & service. Not for the faint of heart but if you enjoy 5 star dining it is well deserved.

The atmosphere alone you cancut with a knife... The food...featuring Duck and Foi Gra... is so well done.... and the staff so smooth and friendly that It seems out of a movie set...... Vincent the manager Is a joy. and into personal service...... Only a few tables but man do they produce incredible foods..... I have dined at Robuschon, Alline, Trigosos, and this place is in its own right a contender for a Mich* And the menu is a total value and totaly non touristic 3/4 of the patrons when I was there were locals who know food and quality..... It one of those places you walk into and feel at home..... Get Reservations... Headed back in a few months.... .....Thia is the place romantic and epicurian all in one spot..... relish it.

Get the tasting menu and bone marrow (they're famous for duck and foie gras). Good overall if not…read moreexceptional French food. However, the portions were more than expected considering it was gourmet. We couldn't finish our entrees. Good spot for French brunch as it is a top fine-food grocer and deli. Sit outside on the sidewalk. There is an awning/umbrella to block out the sun which was great on a hot day. Note founded in 1894!

Oh my goodness, what a find! We stopped here for no better reason than our apartment was right…read morearound the corner and we were in the mood for a nice French lunch. Such good luck! I started with the free-range eggs with mayo, and my wife started with the leeks with vinaigrette. The eggs were delicious, but the leeks may have been the best preparation I've ever had in my life. For our main courses, she had the egg muffin, and I had the sausage and mash. Our meal was superb. Whoever is in the kitchen has clearly learned the art of French cuisine well. Service was fantastic, the people-watching (we ate al fresco) was fantastic, and I simply couldn't think of a way to make this a better meal.

How was flying out Charles de Gaulle Airport the next day and I just arrived from Frankfurt Germany…read moreby train when I looked up a French restaurant near the Gard du Nords train station and found BB. Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

My expectations for Café Mademoiselle were low. It was late in the lunch hour and the place I…read moreinitially chose was already closed. Café Mademoiselle was nearby, had a sidewalk full of diners, and I grabbed a table quickly, fearful of getting shut out of lunchtime offerings entirely. I should know better than to order a salad in Paris. Not that they'e bad, simply that they're quite different than California salads. Quite different and not as appealing in my opinion. But another dish was also ordered at my table, an unusual choice for the two of us dining there. It was a special of the day, Araignee de Porc (23€), and not something I'd personally have chosen. It was delicious. French chefs know what to do with this cut of meat (pork) and I was wowed. The salad (Salad Nicoise, 23€) was almost forgotten as the pork dish took center stage. Service here is terse. The restroom is down a steep flight of stairs. The place serves many tourists, and does so in a manner that doesn't inspire one to harbor overly fond memories. But here's the recipe for success: find out what the chef's special is that day and order that. That's how you do Café Mademoiselle.

The onion soup is delicious!! And finish off with crème brûlée…read more I have gone back every time I have visited Paris. It is a great lunch spot if you are out walking around.
