This place is super cute and has amazing service! The calamari and croquet madame were yummy. They also have fantastic French fries. The cocktails were delicious, as well! I'll definitely come again the next time I'm in Paris! read more

This was our first stop for food in Paris. Located on the famous Rue de Cler, we stopped in for dinner. The patio was full so we ate indoors and enjoyed the time and food spent together. Our servers were nice and spoke English while helping us to select great dishes. I went with the chicken stew served with a side salad and it was amazing. Very flavorful and filling. Definitely recommend stopping in. This is a place I would try more than once. read more

Fantastic place! Great location on a bustling street, good ambiance, great service, and great cocktails. The staff was nice too and spoke English pretty well. Note that other patrons smoking outside will drift into the bar so choose a table at the back if you can. read more

New favorite cocktail spot in Paris! Service was great and all the employees were so fun and friendly. The cocktails were amazing and unique. Just steps away from the Musée d'Orsay and Musée Rodin, making it the perfect post-museum spot! The decor is cute and chic. Definitely will be making a point to stop by every time I'm in Paris! read more

I loved it so much I ate here twice in 5 days and I was a tourist! Super friendly waiter/host, knew perfect english and checked in on you. I mostly ate here for breakfast but the view and ambiance on Rue Cler made it perfect for my taste. read more

My hotel was near l'Eclair during my recent trip to Paris, and I had breakfast here three times. Their omelettes, eggs, and croque madames were delicious. It's also a great spot to sit outside on the Rue Cler on a nice September morning. The French waiters were actually nice. I can't speak to the complaints about weak cocktails that others have made, but it's cute place to sit outside and have a cup of coffee. read more

Cute little cafe located right below our airbnb. We popped in every morning for takeaway cafe. I can't speak to their food, but the place was consistently busy throughout the day/night. Service was friendly and their espresso hit the spot. read more

This place will catch your attention if you are walking down Rue Cler. The vibe and the decor of the place is exceptionally inviting. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable with the perfect setup for people watching - all the outdoor furniture face the street, kinda cute. I enjoyed a comforting lentil soup that hit me straight in the childhood with its genuine flavours and ingredients. The coffee and tea was pretty good as well. The only downfall of this place was the waiting staff. My friend tried to order milk for her tea twice, but it never came.. When we tried to get the bill, that never came either so we had to go in and ask again after to long of a wait. They might have been understaffed when I was there, so hopefully it's not something that happens often. read more

Breakfast. Food was pretty great, service seemed slow. Great location and decor. Croque madam was amazing. Cheese, ham, egg and bread

While on our 1-week trip to Paris, L'Eclair ended up being our favorite spot for breakfast! It's a small cafe on the truly amazing Rue Cler! This is a fantastic place to stop off in the morning before picking up some essentials along Rue Cler. Each morning we both ordered the "De L'Eclair" which comes with choice of Coffee/Tea (try a cafè crème), Eggs (try them scrambled, really... it might change your life), bread choice (try the Croissant), and freshly squeezed Orange Juice (it's the best OJ I've had in many years)! A great bonus is that it's right next door to Davoli, which is one of the best food shops in all of Paris! Note: We visited in September 2016 read more

Worn and filthy, with a nice list of coffees and lots of outside seating. It's along the busy area of rue Cler with lots of outside markets, a great location. But I can't say I'd stop back a second time. Orange juice is squeezed after you order it - can't get any fresher. read more

Best cocktails on Paris bar none! A little pricy, but worth the penny. I had the fish burger and the French ice tea, they went well together:) to my surprise, absinthe was an ingredient listed. The only con was the indoor smoking, but hey that's Europe. The crowd was hip... All ages. Bilingual and attractive staff:) Great music. Good for groups, dates or solo adventures. read more

Weak, overpriced cocktails. Avoid like the plague. I ordered the Scarface and the Sergeant Pepper. Aside from not tasting great, they were both extremely weak/watered down. I actually became more sober after drinking these. Not only could I have passed a field sobriety test, but I probably could have attained perfect scores on both the SAT and "So You Think You Can Dance." read more

Good brunch and even better drinks. The decor is great and very inviting, you just want to spend the day talking to friends and eating their delicious brunch basket. The homey vibe is very welcoming and comfy. If the sun is shinning then sit outside and enjoy the beautiful day while drinking a nice cocktail. This place is a nice change from the standard cafes in the 7th. read more

Ordered their meat platter and comte cheese which were both awful. After having a bite we just could not eat anymore. While their wine is very cheap, it was very hard to drink. read more

This has to be one of the favorite meals that I've had in Paris. The chicken was flavorful and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. The server was friendly and attentive, the chicken tasted very fresh and so did the potatoes. We had been wanting potatoes since we got to rue de Cler and we wanted a sit down restaurant. This really hit the spot and blocked the disappointment of the meal we had the first day. It was scrumptious and we devoured the chicken and potatoes. read more

No hello when we entered. No smiles. Sorry to report that L'Eclair is no longer deserving of 5 stars. Perhaps success went to its head? Who knows. Service has gotten moody and decidedly unfriendly - very sad state of affairs. I used to love this place but now it's just so-so. Just another trendy-looking café with tattooed waiters that you'll have to physically tackle if you want them to even notice you're there. Such a shame... read more

Weak drinks, bad attitude and bad service there really is not all that much more to say. I'd give half a point for ambience if I could but they tried to overcharge and then when asking about it got a very rude vibe. Nothing more to say. read more

Loved the Vibe and the Atmosphere. Inside and out a great place to be in, relax and enjoy. They are going for this sort of "run-down" look and I think it works really well. Though I think that not being able to look at yourself in the bathroom mirror because it´s so old, is taking that "look" at bit too far. The food and the drinks were good too. Prices are "normal" for Paris. The Food wasn´t anything special though (ironically, since I had a "special" that day). Well made but nothing you cannot get at any Bistro/Café. read more

Came here for lunch and loved it!! Our waiter was great he was funny spoke good english and checked up on us frequently. The food came out quick and was delicious. We ordered the avocado toast, poke bowl, and chicken skewer and everyone loved their dishes. Super cute restaurant the outdoor seating was so nice looking over rue cler. read more

The server was nice but listening to construction while trying to enjoy a morning cafe was not. Also, the croissant was burnt and old.

This was a great little spot I found after I had gone to the Eiffel Tower at night. The owner was extremely nice and able to take in a group of 10 of us. We were part of a European Contiki tour. When we walked in, we saw the bartender was making this really cool looking flaming drink. He told us it was the zombie cocktail off the menu. 9/10 of us ordered that drink and we thought it was delicious. We also noticed that the bartender and owner took pictures of the 9 cocktails because we were probably the largest group to order that elaborate cocktail. It made for a great picture! The service was great, and their cocktails were fabulous. We weren't there for food, so I can't comment on that. I'm so glad I found this cute spot. It's a bit tucked away, but you get experience local Paris while walking there. read more

The people do not make Americans feel bad for eating here. The flank steak with shallots were great. Highly recommend!

I came in here because the décor was inviting - reminded me of a farm....a really hip farm. The menu is nothing special, especially for the price. I ordered the eggs on toast with salmon. Not a good choice. The eggs were chopped up in tiny little bits that flew everywhere and tasted...off. The drinks and decoration of this place are good, but that's about it. read more

We found this place to be charming and alive. . Not the typical tourist stop. Found it by using yélp. Husband was happy to have a beer and I was happy they served st.germaine liquere. Waiters were attentive and kind. Nice find. read more

If you are in the area of Rue Cler, L'Eclair is an excellent choice for breakfast, dinner, or late night drinks. This small bistro has good food and drinks, and excellent location in the center of Rue Cler. The staff is friendly and welcoming while providing great service. read more

Best place. We've been here twice on our holiday and will be going again. Sit at the bar and the bartender will make the best drinks in front of you while juggling and twirling bottles. Wonderful time! read more

L'Éclair - Loved sitting at the bar watching the amazing flare bartender twirl bottles in the air while making drinks! - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Cool location, hip place, great terrace, hearty pub grub, very friendly waiters. An all-round nice Paris lunch :-) And the tourist-spotting comes free in the pedestrian area just in front... read more

We have visited this small restaurant/bar on Rue Cler in March 2015 and again in March 2016, while visiting from the US. We've only done hot tea and croissants, but on each occasion, it's been very good and also consistent. Wait staff isn't overly friendly, but that's not to say they are rude. Simply all business with little side pleasantries. We will certainly return again. read more

After studying abroad in Paris for a year at a school that was located right around the corner from Rue Cler, I can testify that I have been here numerous times. Although some members of the wait staff clearly get easily annoyed by Americans based on what I observed whilst eating here, the food is good, and the drinks are even better. It is one of my favorite cocktail places in Paris, but if you are looking for cheap this would not be your place. read more

Number one bar in the 7th right now. Craft - Artisanal cocktails - blankets to cover yourself if it gets brisk on the terrace, and bumping music to boot! A burger menu - American style, and delicious - to wash everything down! There is no better place to drink on Rue Cler. read more

Nice little spot. Nothing too exciting. Our table ordered 4 burgers. They were ok. Nothing more. Frozen fries. Probably not your best option in Paris. Great location. PS: the place is a little dirty if you take the time to look around. read more

Service was a bit slow but their mozzarella beignets are worth any wait. It's basically fried fresh mozzarella but so much better than most we've had in the states. With a name such as theirs, you'd think they'd offer a plethora of eclairs but they only have it in cheesecake form which is pretty good. Husband said their God save queen cocktail was amazing! read more

Lovely and calm little café in one of my favorite streets in Paris! The coffee and the food are top quality and the manager is super friendly! I love the atmosphere and decoration, very tasteful! You can go by yourself or with a date or friends and family, for breakfast (my favorite), brunch/lunch and drinks! read more

Fantastic breakfast! Omelette was delicious and the waiter was very friendly, despite our bad French! Would definitely come back.

Another passable pretentious Paris joint. Asked for an old fashioned and they brought me soda water and lemonade. Couldn't taste the alcohol. Skip this place. read more

This place is amazing!!! Great vibe... Staff is awesome! Loved my drinks! I will come back when I am in Paris again! LOVE!

Loved this little Paris cafe .., lots of locals .. Very cool environment. Located on Rue Cler,,, Waiters are cute friendly and smell good. Ate breakfast there most mornings. Food was amazing. Coffee so rich. read more

Fantastic spot we ordered Martinis, espresso and cucumber. So good we ordered them again. The nice Miami bartender came to make sure we liked them. We did but had a question and he quickly added another ingredient to the espresso martini. Very happy customers!! read more

Nice ambiance inside, and nestled on a prime rue for some morning people-watching with your café creme. The staff is very friendly too.
