I was looking for a simple meal on my last night - my hotel recommended Capucine Cafe, so I gave it a try. Literally a walk around and found the cafe, which was cute and quaint. As I walked up I was quickly greeted by someone and sat down outside. They do have an English menu- if you're wondering. And the staff is very friendly. After looking over the menu I decided to try the mussels appetizer with garlic sauce and French onion soup. The mussels were very simple but flavorful nothing special, but to hit the spot. The French onion soup on the otherhand was so full of flavor and really hit the spot. Loved the ratio of soup to bread and cheese. It's one yummy soup. All in all it was a quick meal, but a lovely one at that. read more

The waiters were a bit rude or stand-offish or maybe that's just how the French are. I got seated immediately and ordered a French onion soup and St. Germain spritz. Both were okay and glad I tried it because when in France. read more

Don't bother coming here. Extremely overpriced for portion size, quality, and flavor. Their steaks were dry and hard as rocks even when it's supposed to be medium rare. They'll also up-charge dishes if you don't pay attention to your bill. Water ISNT free here and they don't mention it to you either which is ridiculous when every other spot on the street is free water. Steaks were terrible, fish and chips was equally bad, and their truffle pasta tasted as though it was boiled to mush. Save your money and find a better place to eat for way cheaper read more

After a visit to the Musee D'Orsay 4 of us stopped for a late lunch at the Capucine Cafe. In Paris, many restaurants close after lunch and reopen at 7 or 8 for dinner. So if you are walking around at 2 PM you need to find a place that stays open where you don't need a reservation. This cafe is one of them. Their French Onion Soup was one of the best I've ever tasted and is kind of a meal unto itself. Two of us had a special sole and salmon kabob served with zucchini, mushroom & eggplant risotto and a fabulous sauce. The crab and avocado parfait was beautiful,but the crab part was a bit boring. The wines were various and wonderful. I'd come back. read more

Capucine Cafe made the best beef tartar I have found in my travels around France. The dish was well seasoned and the portion generous.

This was a great casual dining place with a beautiful and cozy, warm classic French dining room. Where you don't have to always make reservations at to eat. Making it a very convenient place. Warm, welcoming and unpretentious. They easily identified my American accent and provided me a menu in English which was greatly appreciated. We only had the Mussels and finished with an order of profiteroles. Both were very good and the service was satisfactory. I would not hesitate to eat here again. read more

We found this perfect place using yelp. So helpful. How can anyone travel without yelp? The food was the best in Paris. So perfect, I've been craving French onion soup since we left. We loved it so much, we went two nights in a row! As much as I dislike the cigarette smoke in Paris, I'm sure we will return. If you sit inside, there is much less smoke, so that's where we asked to be seated. It is fun and bright. People watching at its best. The first night we had steaks and fish and a gorgeous dessert. The steak was my favorite with a deep sauce and topped it crunches batter fried leeks. It was impeccable. We saw people making a dinner of these huge steaming bowls of French opinion soup. The following night, that's just what we had. It was amazing! Topped with creamy toasted cheese and serving with fresh bread. The funny thing is that I've never been a "soup person" but I could live on this soup. Everyone was incredibly warm and gracious. Wherever you find yourself in Paris, this is where you'll find the most memorable meal. In the meantime, I need to go buy some onions and cheese and try my hand at it. Highly recommend. read more

Upon checking into our hotel in the Chappelle district we needed food and drinks fast. This was the spot we made our nightly stop and the staff was incredibly welcoming and kind.

Visiting Paris for the first time and I SO wanted to try a robust French onion soup ..it was fantastic here!!! Skip the stuffed mussels, just not fresh and for the $$ it was ..meh! I was first told they ran out of the grilled Asparagus featured dish for the day, so I othered their onion soup. But it was odd to wait and wait when my guests gets her onion soup and I don't! Guess the kitchen was busy. All in all would rate it a 3 star restaurant for food and service!! read more

Enjoyed dinner here after a long day of touring. The restaurant was packed at 7 pm on a Friday night. The server was very helpful answer questions and making a wine recommendation in English. We enjoyed fish and chips and veal liver for entrees and shared a crème brûlée for dessert. The recommended German wine was delicious. In terms of Covid precautions, the only thing was bottles of hand sanitizer inside the front door. Tables and chairs were very close with no social distancing and no one other than us had on masks. On a good note, the restaurants front was totally open bringing the outside in as well as having outside seating. There was no outside seating so we had to sit inside but there was good air circulation. read more

Capucine Cafe was recommended by the Concierge at the Intercontinental as I was looking for a relaxing French restaurant with good food and a bit of ambiance for a solo Friday evening dinner in Paris. The recommendation was spot on as the restaurant was less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel and I was given a rather nice table even without a reservation. The menu was quite diverse and enjoyed a really wonderful duck breast as a main. The choices of wines were quite nice and the bread didn't disappoint either. Beyond the food, the restaurant was also a rather interesting place to 'people watch' given the diversity of the other diners. I would most certainly return to Capucine on a future visit to Paris. read more

Great restaurant, service and selection of food! Great decor and proximity of different attractions.

Nice ambience, quick service, waiter was very good. Food was fine but nothing was exceptional.

I've been coming here for years to have their ravioli and it has been consistently great ever since! Decided to order the onion soup as well and it was good but nothing special. The vibe of the restaurant is pretty chill and cozy but nothing too special either. Overall good experience and great food read more

The ambiance is of the type casual chic bistro. The staff is welcoming. The food is made in house. I know that sounds silly to say, but many bistros in Paris buy pre-made food that they put the final touches in house. Happy to say, not this place. The hamburger I ordered was delicious, but sadly there was very little meat. I understand it was freshly grounded premium quality, but they could have added just a bit more for what you pay read more

Food was amazing. I had sole and it did not disappoint. The desserts were wonderful. We will return.

I originally found this cafe on Yelp. We were staying at a nearby hotel and based on the reviews I thought it would be a great choice. Wrong. It was an absolute disaster from the beginning. I'll give it a star for the ambiance but that's really where it ends. We got there and the cafe was packed. They told us 10 minutes and it ended up being an hour. We didn't necessarily even mind that because it was mid day and we all know there not a ton of options that would be open at that point. We were finally seated and our server seemed annoyed by our very presence. She'd disappear for long periods of time then we receive our food and 3 of us ordered steak which we literally couldn't even cut through. No one's food was good at all. Someone got the fish and chips, burger, chicken salads, liver(this was not edible) and we all couldn't wait to get out of there at this point. I don't know if it's more of a dessert place or it was just an off day or what but we definitely did not have the same experience as other yelpers. read more

Pricey but worth it. We came in and were seated right away on the sidewalk which was what we wanted. The waiter attended to us immediately and took our drink order and came back for the rest of the order. We ordered some pasta, salad, ravioli and French onion soup. The food was fresh and delicious and though high in calories, was well worth it. The chicken Caesar was very large and enough to share. The ravioli was petite but delicious without an over-bearing sauce to take away from the pasta. The French onion was my personal favorite because I'm addicted to cheese. I loved this place and it was the perfect ending to our day out in Paris. read more

More sophisticated than your average resturant. Lunch diners were dressed better. The interior is decked in hues of garnet, dark wood, a center staircase, artistic lighting, and beautiful place settings. Service was a tad slower than I'm comfortable with (even in Paris). Best French onion soup hands down. Rich and textured w the perfect balance of onion, broth, bread & cheese. And exceptional bread which is saying a lot w all the terrific boulangerie Paris. The steak tar tar was amazing. Really. The Niçoise Salad was quite good but definitely needed more dressing and a lemony citrus punch would help. I should have known better than to ask for no anchovies (silly me) as it of course came with them anyway. An exceptional lunch with average service. read more

The place has been packed every night we walked by it. Decided to go for dinner since it was late and raining - only tourists but still decided to give it a shot. I had the duck breast which was good while my partner had the entrecôte steak. While the steak was cooked to the right temperature, the meat was tough. Would've ordered the onion soup but at almost 14 euros I had to pass. Overall it was an average meal that if it's raining, your hungry and it's nearby then you'd enjoy. Not worth going out of your way or forgoing any of the other restaurants in the city. 1 beer, 1 coke, and 2 entrees = 56€ read more

Okay so being avid researchers on yelp for good places to eat we were just too tired to trek all the way to better rated bistros. We trudged along the tributary streets of the palais garnier , hoping to find a decent French eatery . Attracted by the obvious "I'm a French cafe" exterior we pulled into this little gem and well with only 12 reviews, this was not at all bad . It was remarkably scrumptious ! I'm quite a picky eater , I can't take dishes that are too heavy and so usually I wouldn't think French dishes would suit my taste buds . But wrong was I . I liked most of the dishes my comrades and I ordered , and each plate was exquisitely presented . Clearly this proves that the French know how to dine right ! My roasted chicken was divine ; whatever that "brown aromatic sauce" was , it was flawlessly cooked to perfection. I also quite liked the carmelized foie gras with Granny Smith apple . Interesting pairing , but tasted so good together ! && I'm pretty cautious about foie gras ; I can't take intense ones Service was fast . Our group got our dishes within 15 min and the waiters were patient with us looking over the same two pages like 20 times . read more

Blows that romantic dinner!! Well everything was 5 star until the vacumn started and the trash dumpsters came into the restaurant and down the dumb waiter not just once but twice. I would think these things could be done when the two tables inside were done, more employees then customers. Hubby had as he says the most amazing french onion soup. I had the roasted white asparagus for starters. We both ordered the steak skewers with the most amazing augratin potatoes, bread with salted butter. Yummy! Ordered the two chocolate delights, not sure what the names were but outstanding. Our bill was over 100 euro so I'm a little picky with both food and surroundings. Bon a petite!!! read more

Where to eat, where to eat? Brasseries, Cafes, Bistrots, Restaurants galore... and that's just on one stretch of the myriads of intertwining streets and alley ways within the 2nd arrondissement around the Opera. Sometimes chance is a good thing when one is famished and looking to eat as my wife puts it: something good. Being here in Paris for our 3rd time, we now know the difference between Brasseries, Cafe, Bistrots and Restaurants. Not all are created equal at all! Today, by chance, we stopped at the Capucines Cafe and were happy we did. We started off with Foie Gras, really good! My wife has Moules and Frites and I had the seared breast of canard. The place is decorated simply classic and modern with its beautiful lights. Try this place out while in the 2nd! read more

July 2013 - We ended up here due to it's proximity to our hotel. The interior looked nice and inviting and the menu typical so we entered. The service was slow. I mean, even slower than the normal in Europe. Maybe it's because it was late on a Thursday but i assumed if the place only had three restaurants to serve, they'd be more on top of it? The entrees were average to just below. The veal scallopini was extremely tough, couldn't even get the knife through it without excessive force. The best/worst part of that dish was it was served with an America size side of pasta. Lots of food, but it was over-cooked and mushy. The prices were standard for the neighborhood and being on the main street, which was pretty pricey. In the end, I wouldn't come back. read more

I went there to date my girlfriend for our first anniversary. I highly recommend this place. The waiter was awesome (really, that was a real French service). The food was good, mixing tradition and modern plate setting. The room is finely decorated, and let's be honest: they know how pick their oysters! Overall, the price is not that high for the quality you get. read more

We really enjoyed dinner here. My wife started with gazpacho that she liked very much. I had snails, which were fine. I then had the duck breast; it was excellent, with a very nice risotto. My wife had roast chicken which wasn't bad but wasn't up to the standard of the duck. Service was excellent -- polite and helpful. While it's on a major street, sitting outside is still pleasant. read more

A total tourist trap. If you follow directions in a cookbook, any book, you can do better. The French, being so proud of their food, should eat here and then reevaluate how great their food really is. KFC is better, way better. Service is a little abnormal as they tip themselves when running your card. Is that even legal? read more
