    The food and drinks are delicious! Fast service with an amazing waitress! Eve is so awesome, funny, and nice. The ambiance is beautiful, and very clean bathrooms

    French onion soup
    Debbie C.

    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.

    The dining room. Old world charm

    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.

    This was our first French restaurant we ate at while in Paris. The food was very delicious. The tables were very small and not much room to move around in, but I would still recommend for the food and great service.

    Our nightly nightcap

    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. Their Crouqe Madame was wonderful and so was their bordeaux. Go here as a first stop after the Chappelle metro stop as it's very close.

    Sautéed veal liver and puréed potatoes
    Katie C.

    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.

    Dinner at Capucine
    Michael R.

    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.

    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

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

We started with Oeufs mayonnaise, which is a hard boiled egg topped with mayo. This was quite a simple dish, but definitely got us prepped for the meal. They initially made a mistake on our order and sent us the veal fingers. After rectifying the mistake, they ended up comping it, so we got an additional appetizer to try. The fried fish went well with the tartar sauce. For the mains, we got the bavette frites with bearnaise sauce and steak tartare with frites. Both dishes were delicious and satisfying, the flavors were excellent and each bite had me wanting more. If you haven't tried tartare before, give it a try here because it was delish! For dessert, we shared the Paris-Brest, a choux pastry topped with mousseline, pralines and roasted hazelnuts. We enjoyed sharing it and it made for a sweet end to our dinner. Overall, this was a great meal to start our trip, everything we had was delicious and my expectations were met!

    We dined here last night upon a recommendation from my wife's boss. This was a great little spot…read more Small dining area downstairs with a little spiral staircase leading up to 2 more small dining rooms. The staff was all very friendly and inviting and were happy to recommend their favorite dishes to us. My wife ordered a French onion soup and one of their famously large salads, which are served in these big bowls. I decided to try the chef's special, which was a beef tenderloin a la rossini (truffle sauce and foie gras). I'm not typically a foie gras fan, but I figured since we're in Paris that I'd give it a shot. I'm very glad I did because it was absolutely delicious. The steak melded perfectly with the truffle sauce and fois gras. This was all served with potatoes au gratin, and blanched green beans. Everything was perfect. I also ordered two large beers. A Grimbergin blonde and a Kronenbourg ale. I love how both beers were served in their respective brand's glasses. Such a nice touch. For dessert, we ordered an Apple Tarte Tartin, upon a recommendation from one of the staff. It was light, sweet, and served with some ice cream and créme fraîce. This was such a great dinner all around. Great food, great vibes, which all lead to a great evening. Would definitely recommend!

    Big disappointment this one. I bookmarked it based on all the positive reviews. Apparently I was…read moresupposed to order the big cheap salad with potatoes. It wasn't on the menu. For New Year's Eve they offered a special menu, 79 € per person. The host outside who convinced us to splurge for the special occasion said our kiddo wouldn't pay full price. Spoiler: that's not how it went. We were seated in back by the restrooms, with the sound of the hand-dryer serenading our meal. From what I could tell, apart from the staff, there wasn't a single French-speaking person in the whole place, a bad sign. For appetizers we had the escargots, which could have benefited from more garlic and butter, the foie gras, which was fine, and the smoked salmon, which was a generous portion, and very smokey. For my main, I ordered the duck in honey sauce, which would have been a good plate, served with salad, but for some reason they plated it with cold vegetables: green beans, bell pepper, and eggplant under congealing butter--Tasted like it was made ahead of time and they forgot to reheat it out of the fridge before scooping onto my plate. Total fail. My kiddo got the knuckle of lamb, which was fatty and gristly, although the mashed potatoes underneath were delicious, and my wife chose the fettuccine with shrimp and scallops, which were both overcooked and the scallops were crunchy, which was weird, served over way too much plain noodles. The desserts were good, but we paid over 240 € for three, with only one drink each, making it both the most expensive and also least delicious meal of our trip so far. Staff were friendly and attentive, and all addressed us in English, even though I'm fluent in French, which makes sense for a tourist trap. Would not recommend, unless maybe you just get the big cheap salad, seemingly that's what the 5-star reviews are for.

    **EXCELLENT WINES AND SIMPLE RUSTIC FRENCH CUISINE**…read more Wonderfully friendly staff. Welcomed immediately with a glass of red wine. Very small restaurant. No tourists; only locals and repeat French customers. We sat outside. ORDERED: *FOIE GRAS House made and simply DIVINE on freshly toasted baguette bread. I wanted to take a bath in this. OMG! *DUCK CONFIT Beautiful leg served with scalloped potatoes. The meat could have been a bit more tender, but overall a good solid entree. *FRUIT TART Good, but not great. The pastry could have baked a bit longer. Loved the sweet plums though. We also ordered a bottle of their excellent Cabernet France for 17 euros. My darling didn't care for their espresso and I was not impressed with their version of a cappuccino. Dinner altogether was 73 euros. OTHER NOTES ============= Some of their staff members are from Le Mascote restaurant, but since the restaurant is currently closed; they cooked and served here. Same quality of food; cheaper in price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the wine, foie gras, and any seafood dish. They have great daily specials.

The menu consists of typical French fare with your duck confit and your steak tartar etc. The wine is sold by volume and all priced at the same rate. Bulk of the other clientele consists of local repeat customers, as we saw a lot of them greeting the bar tender affectionately. For lunch, we had the duck confit and the Lyon sausages (one of the day's specials). The waiter recommended a strong red wine to go with the duck and a lighter, younger chilled red to go with the sausages. He hit it spot on in terms of the pairing. Both main courses were simple and delicious. We ended our meal with wonderful house-made chocolate mousse. Having stumbled onto this little place on the last day of our week long trip in Paris, we were pleasantly surprised with our wonderful experience at Le Colibri. Simple and authentic, this is definitely our favourite place to eat in Paris.
