So, it was toward the end of our trip and it was pretty good. They have a charcuterie board which…read moreis neat. It wasn't the style for my girlfriend, but I really enjoyed it. She said the bread was good tho. Looking at some of the reviews, Maybe it's being part german and french, but we got served fast. I didn't speak any german or french that day. Actually, my wife does the french, I do the german. lol.I teach in english. Anyway, that's beside the point. At this point, my girlfriend/wife was pregnany without knowing so this meal really wasn't her taste. I had a vegatable potatoe rue/stew and she had whatever dish that was. My review is a year old, but the photos will show. It is a cheese and meat dish place, which is fantastic for her typically. Being a Texan, she prefers all of that. I would definetly, come back again. Their boards are pretty awesome.

Our family has been coming to La Fresque for the past 10 years--each year when we return to Paris…read morefor a month, we eat at La Fresque at least 3 times a week. We love good unpretentious French cuisine at an affordable price that has great value and La Fresque hits it every time. Their lunch menu at 20 euros include an appy and a main or main and dessert. For the appy, there is always a choice of 5 different things and at least 4 to 5 for the main and 4 to 5 choices for dessert. This week, we have already been 3 times for lunch and a sample of what we had: apples...bulots; home made gnocchi with cream sauce; quail with morel mushrooms; herring and mackerel in a curry sauce. mains....faux filet of beef (steak) with pepper sauce with scalloped potatoes; pork tenderloin with a mango sauce with braised leek and fennel; duck breast with a side of sweet potato puree; beef tartare with roasted potatoes and salad. Everything we have had this week have been absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Steaks and duck breast are not overcooked and so flavourful. A glass of very good wine is only 3 euros and a house bottle is 12 euros. Service is always efficient and friendly at La Fresque and they will never rush you for your table. There is a choice of a table outside of inside and you can people watch during your meal since the restaurant is across from Les Halles shopping center with pedestrian walkway only. We love eating at La Fresque and you get excellent value for home cooked French food that is a good portion. We will be returning again in a few days for more great dinners and lunches.

Our group of 11 was looking for real French food. We found this place and it didn't disappoint…read more Menu is small and there is no English menu so we figured it was legit. The staff spoke some English, but not a lot--just enough to get by. Everything was delicious. Service was great (by French standards). Prices were very reasonable, but then again I live in CA so I'm easily amazed when it comes to pricing. Would definitely come back.

It was so flavorful and I love the cheesy bread that came with it. Amazing for dipping. The grilled steak with sauce and fries was juicy and delicious and I'm not a huge steak eater.

Went here for lunch one day. First of all, everybody was extremely friendly at this place (despite…read morethe group of us not having reservations and coming in for a late lunch and being the last to leave). We started off with great bread, excellent butter, sea salt and a fish spread. My friend and I got the fish - surprisingly very light (go figure for French food!). Other friend got the beef tartare and it came with fantastic French fries that we concluded must have been bathed in duck fat. Other friend got the steak which was cooked perfectly. Now the desserts. There is one that still holds a place in my heart. It was the creme caramel served in a mason jar. The liquid caramel on bottom with thousands of little black dots from the vanilla beans with perfectly smooth custard on top. And the creme de la creme (pardon the pun) was the burnt layer on top that you see on creme brulee. Some places don't get this layer right but here it was exceptionally crunchy. The other dessert was great, too - a very light almost-whipped yogurt studded with vanilla beans and served with fruit. Top this off with some rose and it was the perfect leisurely Parisian lunch.

Your go to French food!…read more I've been twice and the food here is simple yet good. Service for French food is made to order, so you may be waiting a bit longer than us Americans are used to. The service isn't exactly like "rude", my server just didn't check on me as I'm accustomed to. After orders, the drinks come quickly and a bit after, the appetizers. It was a good at least 20mins until my food actually came. (All five of our plates.) I went on a weekday for dinner and it wasn't too busy. I believe service like this is normal in France. So I just wanted y'all to be aware of this! The cheese board is always an easy go to for everyone. Their cheese is of course amazing. The sliders are small but soooo tasty. I recommend everyone to order it at least once. When the food actually comes, depending on what you order, it's quite a lot. Lots of the orders come with fries which is always a plus. Steaks are cooked perfectly to however you like. Most plates are on the heavy side and packed full for hungry people. Even though we couldn't finish our plates, I always want dessert. Their tiramisu was ok. It's more mousse like and not as much espresso flavored in that it lacked the amount of lady fingers which I was looking for. If you do get it, I recommend sharing. Creme brûlée of course is always an easy enjoyable dessert but nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, this place is still tasty for the most and I'll be coming whenever I'm in town.
