Very close to the Eiffel Tower. Perfect spot to take a break from exploring the city. The food was tasty, the service was very pleasant. We ate here twice during our stay and enjoyed both visits. The area is nice, you can catch a tiny glimpse of the Eiffel Tower while enjoying your meal. Can't go wrong with the pasta and pizza but we also tried steak, and roasted chicken with frites. We enjoyed our meal.
I always hate writing a bad review, but do feel a bit obligated to warn people about my experience. First, I should say the ambiance at night is especially nice and the location, being a stones throw from the Eiffel tower, is convenient for tourists. The service was also good. The staff speaks multiple languages catering to tourists from all over the world. It follows then, that we saw was nothing but families of tourists crammed on to a terrace eating overpriced food all hoping for an authentic Parisian dining experience. Of which, this was not. I found the prices to be extremely high for the quality of faire offered, even for a tourist trap -over $11 USD for a glass of coke! I've travelled extensively all over the world and Firmine sets the record for the most I've ever been charged for a coke -including airports and amusement parks! The price of the coke unfortunately is representative of the rest of the menu. Exceptionally overpriced, for average (at best) food. I feel this restaurant caters specifically to people who do not check the menu carefully... as the management has confirmed in recent replies to other reviews, in which they brazenly dismiss other complaints saying, "that's why we have the menu on display outside". Oof, brutal! Just for funsies, I'd like to ask Firmine Managment to reply to this review and tell me of any restaurant, that charges more than $11 USD for a coke -any restaurant, anywhere in the world. On to the food, I had the roasted chicken. This was a tiny, tiny chicken. Its like the size of a KFC chicken -but smaller. But that's ok, since my jaw got tired from chewing it before i could finish (see picture). It was very dry, bland and extremely tough -like low sodium chicken jerkey. It reminded me of when I once tried to cook a raw chicken breast in the microwave and set the timer for waaaaay toooo long. On the plus side tho, they serve it with a small cup of drippings, which u can use to rehydrate the chicken a little before putting it in ur mouth, but once that runs out, or ur jaw gives out, meal over. I would comment on my girlfriend's order, but I feel I've already spent too much time on this place... as you should feel too having read this review. In sum, there are much better options in the vicinity. But as not to be a complete Debbie Downer, I'll end this review on a positive note, the 4 year old at the table next to us semed to really enjoy the pizza, as he incessantly screamed out "PIZZA! PIZZA! NOM NOM NOM!" while running around the tables. Lovely.
This was a Yelp recommendation so we tried it. It is conveniently located near the Eiffel Tower so it was a quick walk from the park. The staff was incredibly friendly and eager to serve. The ambiance was quaint with lots of festoon lighting and convenient street seating. We chose to sit inside out of the damp. Our server recommended our drinks and some of our entrees. We started with a couple of speciality drinks, a Chambord Royal and a Red Basil (gin drink). Service was incredibly fast and before you knew it we had our starters - French onion soup served in small copper pots. It was very flavorful! Our entrees were four cheese linguine, a Parma pizza and flank steak with fries. All were very good. The pizza tasted wood fired and the crust was well browned. The flank steak was a bit tough but clearly was charcoaled. It was very tasty. The linguine was also quite good but was so huge a portion we could not finish it. This was a great surprise and a nice meal.
We ate here twice during our recent stay in Paris. This cafe is located 1/2 mile from the Eiffel Tower. If you've been to Paris, it's a "short walk." Our first trip was for Pizza and Beer. Note, when in Paris, a small beer is about 8 ounces and a large is 15 ounces. I should have asked to see what a large looked like; close to a 32 ounce mug! Still, the beer was cold and the Pizza was awesome. The second trip was also great. I had a Chicken Caesar and my Bride had a Salad (name I can't pronounce.) Worth the effort if you are near the tower.
This restaurant was sooo good! The best bbq chicken pizza I have ever tasted. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The customer service provided was good and fast. The atmosphere was cute and comfortable. I wish this place was down the street from me. I definitely recommend and would return.
The ambiance was good, the place was not too loud, but it felt more of a touristic vibe around it. The food was great, I had the ravioli asalmon with a white sauce. It was really good. Drinks were ok, but the service was pretty darn good. The waiter was helpful and really tried to help us as best as possible.

Set near the Eiffel Tower, it is located in a good place. The food is delicious-- not salty at all. The pizza was a little soggy compared to American pizza but it was tasty. The steak was thinner than expected but the tAste was still good. My favorite was the carbonara pasta. heading back to Paris for a second time, I was craving this place so it means it's pretty good for me to have wanted to come back. The service is good, too. read more
GREAT EATS!!! We came here on our 4th day in Paris. It was by far the best food we had all trip. A friend and I ordered the pesto pasta and another friend ordered the lasagna. We all loved our food; so much flavor! The portions sizes were generous too! The dish is deep so don't be deceived, it's really a lot of food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for food that will make your taste buds happy while in Paris! I will most definitely come here again the next time I visit Paris. read more
Good looking pizzas but the French classics shine. I had a HUGE entrecôte with perfect fries and an onion soup to start. The prices are excellent, with high quality service. A glass of cold fresh Roderer at an excellent price was much appreciated. This is an unfussy bistro, and a great spot to dine if you're near the Eiffel Tower. read more

Decided to try this restaurant last minute; and so glad we did! Great service and food! We tried escargot for the first time here and it definitely did not disappoint! In addition we had their salmon pasta, which was amazing! The waitress was friendly and very helpful! Safe to say we will be returning before we leave Paris! read more

This place is very good with average prices near the Eiffel Tower. Had the French Onion soup and calamari which were both excellent. Main course was the lasagna which was pretty good, the the rigatoni in a light cream sauce with salmon stole the show. read more

We are visiting France for the first time and after a long day, decided to Yelp the nearest highly rated restaurant. This led us to Firmine! My traveling partners both got spaghetti and I tried the duck confit (a first for me). Both dishes were absolutely delicious! Additionally, we had a wonderful bottle of rose pinot grigio amongst the three of us. Our waitress was lovely and didn't make us feel bad about not speaking French. We would definitely recommend this restaurant as a traveler-friendly place that has excellent food as well. read more

We throughly enjoyed this place. We were staying down the street and found it the first night then came back the second. We had the spaghetti with minced meat, escargot, cheeseburger, duck, and margherita pizza with wine and beer. Our dining party had great service and the food was excellent! It's a must try if you are in the area. Skip the hotel food! read more
Standard cosmopolitan selections similar to other locations around the park and tower. Constant turnover of tables requires the staff to adjust languages not culture. English language menu is available. Food is good, service is quick and restaurant is clean. Recommend for a bite to eat when nearby. read more
I'm sad to write this review because the service was great and our server spoke English which was very helpful. However this was one of our least favorite meals in Paris. I think that this was probably because we chose some items that weren't the best, as most reviews are very positive. I ordered the Luigi, which was one of the worst pizzas I've had. It was very heavy with cheese, (I felt like this was the Quatre Fromages with Ham on top) and ham was very salty. There was also brie on this, which was not mentioned on the menu. It was very salty and hard to eat. My friend ordered the Spaghetti A L'Huile D'Olive Ail et Piments. She didn't enjoy her dish either, it was very spicy and otherwise bland. I'm sure that the menu has other great options, but we didn't choose those! Again the service is great and it's a cute restaurant with a nice ambiance. read more

This cute, quaint restaurant was such a delight! After hours of shopping, I was exhausted and hungry. I stayed at the Pullman Hotel, which was approximately a 7 minute walk from this restaurant. I've frequented Paris multiple times and typically eat at local joints; I try to avoid touristy areas (inflated prices and not typically the best cuisine). However, since it was already 10pm, I decided to give Firmine a try; boy am I glad I did! I ordered an Aperol Spritz and the lasagna. My lasagna was amazing and my beverage was refreshing! The waiter was extremely attentive and funny. I sat and had a nice dinner by myself on the patio and it was lovely. The bread that accompanied my meal tied it all together. I am happy that I came and would definitely return. I dined here on a Saturday night (they closed at 11:30pm). read more

Ok pizza, the lack of an English menu made it somewhat difficult to order but google translate mostly dealt with that. The service was good, but if all the places I've been to in Paris this somehow had the most smokers in one place. read more

Stopped in here after visiting the Eiffel Tower and had a lovely ham & mushroom pizza. It was pouring rain and we just wanted to get in out of the rain and have a drink and warm up. This pizza was very good. I had the cheapest bottle of Sauvignon Blanc they had. There were 2 glasses of wine in the bottle. My husband had a Pelforth and the bill came to $28 euro. The ambiance is comfortable while being chic. You sit under the awning, enjoy your food, people watch, or wait for a storm to pass. I really enjoyed myself here. Charming is the best word. It would have been a 5 star experience except our waitress seemed put out by us. Not the right attitude to have since the place was empty. I must deduct a star for that, and it kind've kills me. Getting out of the rain after seeing the Eiffel Tower and then cozying up with my husband to eat a pizza was one of the most romantic moments of my life. It doesn't get much better for New Yorkers in Paris. read more

Extremely good food! The pizza had some of the best cheese I ever tasted. A nicely furnished placed with spaces on the inside and outside (if weather permits). The staff was friendly but busy, so no complaints. We didn't have to wait for too long to get pur food. Prices are fair. The famous Eiffel Tower is just around the corner. Overall we had a good time coming here for dinner and would gladly come back. read more

I suppose when you have a restaurant this close to the Eiffel Tower you are infinitely more successful if you have a staff that is friendly and service-oriented - and while I absolutely adore the French and the French culture - this is not always typical of a French restaurant. We arrived around 7:30 pm with two tired and cranky (though still well-behaved) 7 and 8 year old children. We were given a large round table for 5, even though we were only 4, which is so nice since usually we find ourselves squeezed around a much smaller table. My son and I ordered pasta and my daughter and husband ordered pizza. Even though there was no pepperoni on the menu, when my daughter asked for plain cheese the waiter offered her pepperoni for the top, much to her delight. Not only that, but it came out in the shape of a heart! The waiter was super friendly, even offering to take a photo of us during our meal (without us asking), and suggesting excellent wines. He checked on us frequently and was delighted to discover that both my husband and I spoke some French, though everyone there spoke excellent English. The food was solid, and even though it wasn't an over-the-top exceptional food experience, it was probably our favorite meal in Paris. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a yummy and friendly meal in the 7th. read more

Ate here while in Paris for lunch and 2 times for dinner. I travel to Italy 2-3 times per year. But the carbonara was perhaps the best carbonara I have eaten. Pizza is very good. Their French onion soup was some of the best we had in Paris Service is excellent. Price is good, especially for the quality of food you get. Can't go wrong here. read more

Great pizza and pasta. The 4 cheese pizza was so fresh. I could taste each of the different cheeses. A party of cheese in my mouth. Ha! The wife got the margarita pizza and it was great! Son had the pasta and meat sauce. Nothing like fresh pasta. The wait was a while but worth it. read more
Smiling faces and friendly service! We walked in here on a Saturday night at 10:45 pm very hungry. We were seated at a table outside immediately and our kind waitress brought us menus which are in French and English. We ordered a half liter of Bordeaux wine and 2 pastas. The food was delivered to us quickly. We had just received our wine and our food was brought out. The pasta portions are large, especially for the prices. We did not try the pizzas, but noticed many other tables order them. They look delicious and each one could easily be a meal for 2. This is a good restaurant for vegetarians, as there are some vegetarian options on the menu (I had the tomato basil pasta, husband had the four cheese penne- vegetarian and delicious). read more
Mediocre at best. Firmine is located fairly close to the Eiffel Tower, and on our way back to the hotel we were staying at. I looked up the reviews, which appeared favorable! It was also busy, which I tend to believe is a sign that the food must be good/ fresh. The patio was bustling on a Monday evening. We were seated rather quickly which is a bonus. The menu was handed to me rather quickly, as if it was a hot potato game. Per the reviews, it is noted as being good for pizza and pasta. So, that's when we stuck with. I ordered the Pasta Bolognese, and he the Parma pizza. Tomato, mozzarella, Parma Ham, Egg, oregano. When we asked for a wine similar to a wine we enjoy (Malbec, because of its smooth finish, less tannic), she seemed a little irritated. Such is life. We are in France. Those were already my expectations. No offer of anything we could "taste" first, I ordered a red, and he had the suggestion of a Pinot Noir type from the bartender said the server. 12ml glasses. Mine was an Irancy, it's fine, nothing to brag about. (I wonder if "Irancy" means rancid in French) His tasted, well, like the bottle had been opened for a month. I started with the oven grilled French Onion Soup. The first few bites were actually delightful. Toasty melted cheese over top, soup had a real grilled onion taste and not the sometimes typical "dishwater" you taste in the states. The bread underneath was soaked enough but lacked some crunchy edges (from the supposed "grill", more like stale. Oh OUI! I ate about half of it, and then I was over it. Then came our dishes. His pizza could have fed us both. My Lasagna... wait Lasagna?? Um no, I order the spaghetti. I saw the lasagna had terrible reviews... The server told me I order the lasagna, and I said, um no. (Sacre blue!) She looked peeved, then another server/manager (who knows) came by, and said, it's the same price. Oh well then I should eat it, yes? No, please give me pasta. So he rushed it out of my face, demanded to the kitchen loudly "pasta bolognese" and while Jason ate his giant pizza, and into his second slice, my new dish was presented very quickly! Impressed, I couldn't wait to dig in. A deep bowl filled with spaghetti noodles are bundled up like a cute kitten in a ball with Bolognese on top and some shredded basil. The cheese on the table is basic grated parmesan and nothing fancy. I tried to eat it without. First bite, hot as the fire that is blue. Talk about fresh? Lol Well fresh Boyardee, and boy was I not impressed. I tried to twirl it up and manage the "minced beef steak" as the menu reads down the hatch. I ate half of it as not to be rude, but couldn't palate it otherwise. Dessert she asks, NO to thank you. Getting the check was another 30 to 40 min. I'm sure whatever conversation the servers and hosts were having was more important than getting paid or a tip. I suppose they don't tip in France? Is this why? read more
