Seeing that the reviews were excellent, we decided to give it a try. We were stunned with the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to help us even though we did not speak French.

Poni was a Michelin star restaurant to us!

I was seated in the backroom which was all high tables and very quiet. Notre Pâté en croûte - This was great. A slice of bread with chunks of duck and other meat with pickled items on the side (which I always love!) and a little bit of lettuce. It is not like a spreadable paté. Capra (salade) - this was a large salad with three large fried goat cheese balls. I had to take much of it with me. It has a variety of ingredients which don't necessarily go together but you can mix and match with each bite. They have a QR code to their website for the English menu if you need. I was stopped at the door asking if I paid which was strange because the tables in my section all have QR codes on them to pay before leaving. Do Parisians not use these? Next time: I'll sit upstairs and try some other dishes.

Really a 2.5 star. Disappointed in how our meal was cooked. We expected better from a chain of a…read moreMichelin star chef. We ordered the 4 piece fried chicken bucket. We thought it would be actual pieces of chicken instead of tenders. But it came out to be 1 leg and 3 overcooked chicken tenders. It seemed like they just threw it all into the fryer at the same time because the leg was cooked perfectly but the tenders were so dry that it made us lose our appetite. You can find better chicken tenders at any other plain cafeteria. Fried chicken sandwich - solid choice. Chicken was cooked well and flavor was good. Definitely would recommend only to get the chicken sandwich rather than the fried chicken bucket. Fries - good, nothing special. Ask for the free mayo and homemade ketchup. Ketchup helped a lot for this meal. Overall, it wouldn't make me go back. The quality was very disappointing and meal was on the pricier side. If you must try their fried chicken, just know it can't live up to our fried chicken in the US.

It's a very American-themed breakfast spot in Paris, which was surprising. The restuarant is bright and cheerful, and the staff are all very friendly. While every other restaurant in Paris greets you with "Bonjour," Holybelly greets you with a "hey guys." It stands out. Holybelly is popular so we hada small wait to be seated, but not too long of a line. For food, I had their signature stack wtih all of the trimmings, pancakes (delcious and cooked perfectly), eggs (no subs for sunny side up but got them fried hard), delicious bacon, bourbon syrup, and sauteed mushrooms (excellent), and ordered a side of scrambled eggs since I could not sub the eggs. Everything was really, really good! I also got an iced coffee and mimosa. I highly recommend and would definitely return to Holybelly!

I opted for the orange one which included some carrot and turmeric. There was a line of people waiting out the door for a table, which moved super quickly.

And that would be very, very sad. It's not only a great place for the usual appetizers, which we saw several enjoying, but is an EXCELLENT place to try French wine without a *sniff* of pretention. Once finding we were from CA, the owner/manager/main person there was not only interested, but clearly noting differences detected by us. Suggesting other wines based on this. Hitting it solidly out of the park when we asked to get *French* wines, and explaining why they were different. He was also friendly and charming, and is a strong reason while we'll be back. That, and his helpful knowledge of the Bandol region's best.

A much different flavor compared to the California wine that I'm used to drinking, but I really liked it. The owner/manager was very interested to hear our take on the wines in France vs. California's. They have a small selection of appetizers, charcuterie plates, and a couple of warm dishes to go with your vino. However, we just stuck with drinking the night we were there. Very reasonable prices on both the wine and food. Cool atmosphere and very pleasant, snob free service. If I lived in Paris I'd probably be a regular.

Yelp Elite had their first event here and it was a great way to start off the New Year (thanks…read moreZeva)! Fantastic casual and comfortable bar/tapas place with a cool "cave" downstairs that is literally a cave! The Yelp event was all downstairs in the cozy bar with an adjoining lounge next to the gated and padlocked stock of liquor. I had the drink called "Mary Used To Smoke" and it was like drinking a smoky meal in a glass (think a thin gazpacho)! Wonderful for those who don't want something sweet but prefer something aromatic to accompany their food. Some thought it was too strong, but I preferred it to the sweeter fruitier Ruby Caroll. We got tastes of the tapas; bites of croque monsieur, jambon, and tuna. We had one sweet bite I didn't care for, but others loved it (guess you can tell I'm not really a sweet eater)! Definitely an address to go for drinks (they serve coffees too) or bites when you want some place that's unique and fun with nice service (they were swamped and still smiled)!

The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, especially considering our low levels of French. The decor is charming and warm, and downstairs is a very cool layout of cozy alcoves for groups. I could sit here for hours - and I think we did sit there for three or so. The aperitivo spread was well worth the wait: all-you-can-eat prosciutto/mortadella, homemade chips and pickles, pickled salad wraps, mustard seed roast potatoes, and an egg tart. Clearly I sampled it all... and it was all so high quality and delicious, I couldn't believe it was free! Cocktails were a euro less during happy hour, and are reasonable for the strength and quantity otherwise.

As a New Yorker, I was excited when I stumbled upon Nick's, as it read "Authentic New York Pizza"…read moreon the window. I went in and asked the chef where in New York he was from. He said he was not (from Bangladesh, just a little bit away from NY). He pointed to the cashier who was from NY. I asked her and she said she is from Tennessee but lived in Brooklyn. So I asked what her favorite place in Brooklyn was. Considering this was a pizza place, I thought that question was pretty self-explanatory. Her reply: the beach. When I clarified, she said some $1 slice in a train station that was now closed. It was clear that pizza knowledge was lacking here. The pizza was truly tasteless. There was near zero sauce so it was just dough and cheese. The garlic knots looked good, but probably just because I hadn't seen one in a few months. All in all, pizza of the same quality of New York is not available in Paris.

The frites (fries) were surprisingly still warm and crisp after a 15 minute walk back to my room and the burger was gently wrapped and ready to go. The flavors and texture was good but the ratio of burger to bread was slightly too much bread. A personal preference that others may not mind.
