    Smoked Eels appetizer

    Simply amazing!! We dined at Eels for our 25th wedding anniversary dinner on 9/30. The food was so unique and absolutely delicious. It was easily the best dining experience we had while in Paris. We had the smoked eels appetizer, risotto with porcini mushrooms, and sea bass. The risotto was literally the best dish I've ever had. I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough!!

    Had the tasting meal at Eels and it was fantastic. The decor for the restaurant was very nice: white and clean with some green accents and exposed stone. The waitstaff was extremely nice and very detailed when explaining the paired wines we had with each course. We had the smoked eel (I mean, you had to expect it, right?), a chicory and cheese course, pollock course, a braised beef cheek course, and the desert course was a type of mousse with a peanut brittle type filling which was delicious. The wine pairings were generous and I got tipsy enough were I forgot to take pictures of most of the courses. It was a very nice meal.

    Eels is art as much as it is food. The visuals and flavors stun with color and contrast. Standouts was the smoked Eels entree, which melted in the mouth and had many layers of flavor. The trout was also one of our favorites, a melange of textures and flavors. Service is perhaps the best in Paris, with an incredibly knowledgeable sommelier, friendly, helpful staff, and a kitchen that runs like a machine. The well appointed interior is a place for romance and celebration. I've been lucky to dine here twice over the last two years. Looking forward to visit number 3.

    Eels was by far the best meal we had in Paris. The tasting menu and wine pairing is a must. Each dish was well layered and the wine pairings were perfect. Stand outs for me were the eel and duck dishes. The service was impeccable, the team at Eels truly make you feel special and are there to make sure you are having a great time. The sommelier was knowledgeable and his descriptions of the wine provided an elevated experience. A must go to.

    I'd say this is one of the best restaurants I've tried in Paris. We were recommended this restaurant by my friend and booked a table without doing much research. When we came around 1pm on a weekday, the restaurant was almost full. We ordered two set menu including appetizer, main and dessert. It was 37 euros per person which I found very reasonable. We had eels and chicken for appetizer, duck and fish for main and crunchy coffee and butternut squash tart for dessert. All the dishes were appetizing and delicious! They had many different ingredients on each dish that worked well together. Service was fast and English friendly. I'd definitely come back when I come to Paris next time.

    I'm not a big fan of tasting menus, but my wife loves it. One good thing is that she's always dragging me to awesome places and so is Eels. Super professional service. Sensational food. Even I liked the eel and duck, and I usually don't order such dishes. Wine recommendations with the dishes were spot on. An overall fantastic experience.

    We are in Paris and it is hard right now find a place to eat without reservations. The restaurant is 500 feet from our hotel and we were fortunate to get a same day reservation. We tried the tasting menu, it was 5 dishes, $89/person, wine pairing is $54 for 5 glasses, water is not free, distilled water was $7/bottle. Food was delicious, service was great. Highly recommended!

    Absolutely loved our dinner at Eels a little over a month ago! Was perhaps our favorite dinner in Paris! Every single one of the courses was incredibly flavorful and well balanced. The fish and pork we had was perfectly cooked -- super tender and buttery. Our waiter was very kind and spoke English. We also the intimate and romantic ambiance. We'll be back when we're next in town!

    Food here is beautiful and delicious! I have eaten here twice and very impressed both times. Definitely get the fixed price menu so you can try different menu items. Can't wait to return!

    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!

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

We were so looking forward to the frog legs, onion soup and other delicacies pictured. We got there and the sign was just as it was with the same name -- Au Pied du Sacre Coeur. We should've noticed something was wrong when no one was inside. When the waiter (lone person working along with cook) gave us the menu, my wife and I stared at each other completely confused. The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup. He looked confused and just said no. Out of respect for him, we just ordered the charcuterie, which featured stale bread and a few slices of meat taken from my local grocery store in the U.S. Also -- they claimed to not accept any international credit cards. WHAT HAPPENED? Are all these reviews fake? Most likely, they underwent new ownership right when we visited. But new visitors -- please beware. Do not trust any of the reviews before mine. If I was mistaken, please post photos and just tell me that I was part of some elaborate joke to ruin a lunch for me and my wife.

That's not acceptable. The food, however, was. Hence my difficulty in giving one rating. Our 3 dishes tried were indeed solid. Generous servings of seafood in the bouillabaisse, and I have no qualms whatsoever with my cuise de grenouille and foie gras salads. Bread kept us alive. The free Cote du Rhône glass was appreciated for check-in! Our server had his head permanently at a 30 degree angle, staring at his mobile. Tis a shame. But he was friendly ( oh, and easy on the eyes). I liked the quiet location out of the chaotic fray, like up the street, with all its smoking and volume. PS This is lover's type of location. Even the dark end of the small street feels illicit!
