The restaurant is in a prestigious and centrally located district and within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. While this area attracts tourists due to its proximity to major attractions, the restaurant is off the beaten path, has a residential charm and is home to many locals. This place definitely offers an authentic French bistro ambiance. The menu is very traditional French ie... sweet breads, páté, escargot, duck foie gras, frog legs, etc... you get the idea. Because of this, the restaurant has a loyal local clientele. Despite being within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, this place hasn't been taken over by tourists. But our local Parisian friend who took us here because I said I wanted to eat authentic French soufflé and the restaurant did not disappoint. The mushroom soufflés had a wonderful umami richness from the sautéed mushrooms. Mildly eggy with a slight cheesy mouthfeel. The chocolate soufflé - Light and airy with a deep chocolate flavor and eggy finish. Overall we enjoyed every dish except for the Rooster in red wine. We thought it was rather tough and the sauce had a burnt taste. Excellent service. The entire wait staff worked as a team and were super friendly and efficient. Happy Eating!! read more

Came here as I was looking for souffle, UGH unfortunately our souffle was underbaked, very liquidly, I was very sad about it and u satisfied. Crawfish appetizer was very good, cheesy and buttery. Sweetbread Pie was just fine, wish they heat it for longer, I feel like sweetbread doesn't taste good if it's lukewarm. Chateaubriand with Moral Cream & Fries - very good, perfectly cooked. When it first came out I was like, this looks way too overcooked, but then once cut, the inside was perfect. They really know how to cook their steak!! read more

We had such a delightful and memorable experience at L'Auberge Bressane. Even though we don't speak French, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive to every guest. The restaurant itself is charming and cozy, which added to the experience. We started with the famous soufflé, which was delicate, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. Even though it looked huge, I easily finished every bite. For mains, we ordered the Tagliatelle with Morels, Bouchée à la Reine, and Quenelles de Brochet comme à "Nantua." Each dish was creamy, buttery, and full of flavor. To finish, we shared three mini dessert soufflés, with caramel being my favorite. Every dish felt carefully and thoughtfully prepared, and everything tasted wonderful. While this is not a budget-friendly spot, the price was well worth it. I can honestly say it was the best meal of our trip to Paris. They do offer an English menu, but it doesn't include pictures or detailed descriptions. If you are not familiar with French cuisine, I recommend looking up their dishes on Instagram or Yelp beforehand so you have a better idea of what to expect. read more

This is such a cozy lunch spot. I went here with my mom and her friends and we had a lovely 2 hour lunch as the French do! I wasn't starved so I got escargot and a side salad. They also brought out bread for the table which was perfect for my escargot! The escargot was so buttery and garlicky, just delicious. I also tried my mom's tagliatelle with morels which was lacking some salt but otherwise pretty good. We also shared a bottle of champagne because why not, and my mom and I shared the chocolate soufflé to round out our meal. It was so rich, and the chocolate was dark and delicious, not too sweet. We also ordered decaf espressos which were a great compliment. The only negative (if this even counts) is the bathroom is TINY and only has 2 stalls - 1 for men and 1 for women, but it's so small you can barely turn around. read more

Okay, yes it's very much a tourist destination, however that's not to say the food, service and atmosphere aren't great, it was! We throughly enjoyed our visit. As I said the restaurant is filled with tourists however we were seated among locals and enjoyed their recommendations. I did feel slightly rushed as they seem to turn over tables quickly, I would have enjoyed a little more time at the table. read more

L'Auberge Bressane - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This was the best meal for us in Paris during our four day trip. This place has the French touch (eg taste). Just like how good BBQ has a good bark and the smoke taste. Just like how good Chinese food has that wok taste. This place has the French taste. read more

Auberge Bressane was perhaps the most unique of all the restaurants I visited in Paris: This restaurant near Les Invalides feels like it has not changed since the mid-twentieth century, when soufflés and food served en flambée was considered the height of distinction. (How retro? The table beside me had a dessert I'd heard of but never actually seen in all my years: Baked Alaska, known in France as "omelette norvégienne," served en flambée.) The tables are covered in charming custom jacquard cloths with roosters and the restaurant name on them, and everything feels very "old country manor." When I visited, I was the only non-French customer, and yes, I indulged in both the soufflé entrée and dessert. In between, I had the chicken suprême with morels -- I normally abhor mushrooms, but I ate everyone with gusto here. Also, the bread served here was the crustiest, flakiest, and hands-down best I had in all my time in France. read more

It was my first time in Paris, and I wanted to have traditional French cuisine. I passed by this cute restaurant on a walk and checked it out on Yelp. I knew I wanted to eat here based on the reviews. I was so sad that I couldn't get a reservation because it was all booked up online. I decided to get there right when they opened for dinner, and they were able to pencil us in for 9:30. Our server was the best server we had during our stay here in Paris. She recommended the Champignons Farcis au Poulet as a starter. It was to die for! Our entrees were delicious as well, but the starter was so rich we could hardly eat the entrees. We decided to still try the soufflé because the reviews raved about it. We shared a beautiful pistachio soufflé that was cooked to perfection. Overall, between the tasty food, top tier service, and cute ambiance... I give this restaurant 5 stars. When I come back to Paris, I plan on eating here again. read more

Made a reservation exactly 30 days in advance(when they start accepting them) as we had only one free day to experience one of our favorites. We arrived about 30 minutes early and there was not problem. They had a booth reserved for us and it was perfect. It was toward the middle the restaurant and I could watch all of the beautiful plated of food being served. We ordered a lot of food for us as we usually order only two dishes and share. So, we started with Escargot and a Green Salad, followed by White Asparagus served with a chopped egg and a vinaigrette, and a Comte Souflee served with a small side salad. All of this to be followed with a Trio of Mini dessert Souflees. All were absolutely delicious but a there were a few standouts... - The Escargots were amazing. And although I ordered only six some were smaller so there were two in a little pocket of the dish...so I got about 11. And I guess I was lucky because I like the small ones better. - The White Asparagus were huge perfectly cooked. The vinaigrette was the best of the three week trip. There is just something about the flavors of the asparagus paired with the chopped egg and vinaigrette that make it pop. - The Comte Souflee was melt in your mouth delicious. It arrived and it was a beauty standing tall about 3 inches above the rim of the dish. - The Mini Souflees arrived and we were in awe. Three little beautiful sights. Which one will be the winner? We selected the Grand Marnier, the Caramel, and the Pistachio. We tasted and talked, tasted and talked...the winner was a surprise to both of us. It was the warm homemade caramel one. And it was the winner of the whole meal. Service was perfect. We had the same person that waited on us a few years ago before the pandemic. She is now the manager of the restaurant. Congratulations. Can't wait to return. Recommend a reservation. read more

I can die tonight a happy woman! Made reservations online 2 days ago for 8pm. Gaspar was our most excellent server who did not bat an eye at 2 gals ordering all this food. Let's start with the apps : we had foie with some brioche-like toasts. Very good. Then the haricot vert (served cold with sliced raw mushrooms and a vinaigrette dressing ) - good palate cleanser. But the star of the apps was- drumroll please- frog legs!!! We ordered half order which was enough to share. Crispy browned on outside, tender meat on the inside. Divine! And I'm not a frog legs type of gal. Then entrees- my friend had the coq Au vain (hence the Rooster emblem) and I had steak chateaubriand cooked to absolute perfection (med rare) when I asked for med. Need some fireworks to introduce dessert- the pistachio soufflé. Slight brown crust on top with cloud-like pillowy center- it disappeared within 3 min! Grand marnier one our neighbors had looked good too. Gaspar was attentive, welcoming and made great suggestions for our wine and food choices. I think it's the best meal I've had at a brasserie so far in Paris (among the 5 times I've come to visit). Unreal!! Also- we never felt rushed! Locals and tourists alike were there and this cozy spot had obvious history Thank you for the hospitality and to die for French dishes!!! I'll be back!!! read more

How perfect for our first night in Paris!! We tried the chicken in mushroom sauce and the chateaubriand which were both delicious. The mashed potatoes were sublime and the haricots verts crisp and fresh. My favorite was easily the profiteroles. read more

It's the perfect Parisian neighborhood restaurant with great food and vibe. Take the short walk from Eiffel Tower.

Traditional French cuisine and very good. The service not so much, very disorganized, totally ignored us for 45 minutes while people who just got there got to order ... we almost left but are glad we stayed, the food was certainly worth the wait. I had the Quenelle and my wife had the mushroom pasta and the trios of soufflés. I don't think I would go again, but I would recommend. read more

Very good French restaurant a bit off the beaten path in Paris. Service was great and the food- especially the coq au vin- was very good

Literally the best meal I have eaten in Paris.... Service was superb. Wine was divine. Ambience was perfection. Get the frog legs, get the sweetbreads, get the quannels (misspelled)! We went 10 years ago and it was amazing and even better this time around. The manager was FABULOUS! read more

My husband and I went here for the charming atmosphere and returned a second time for the food. We would have gone a third time during our four weeks in Paris, except that the restaurant closed in August. And we didn't visit any other restaurant a second time. I am a big fan of foie gras, and theirs was the best I tasted in all of our time in Paris, including two very fancy blow-out dinners. My husband swooned over the Grand Marnier souffle. Yes we enjoyed our main courses, too, particularly the chicken a la creme. And we found the staff most welcoming and friendly, almost as though we were regulars. There was a mix of tourists and locals, more so than in most restaurants we ate in. Definitely a place to enjoy the flavors of Paris. read more

Uuuuuuhmazing. I came here on a friends recommendation. Everything was amazing and the tables around me looked amazing. I had the chicken and the caramel souffle. I highly recommend both. I also really enjoyed the Pinot blanc from Alsace. Oh and the bread was read more

A reluctant 4 stars. Only because I enjoyed the souffles so much. Get the mini trio to try all the flavors! I don't know which one was my favorite but I was smiling from ear to ear while eating them. The rest of the food was good, not great. These reviews hyped up the chicken in yellow sauce so much that I was prepared to get my mind blown; unfortunately, my mind was still perfectly intact by the end of the meal. But that is not to say the chicken wasn't good - the sauce was tasty, albeit on the heavier side, and I made sure to get every drop with the accompanying fries. The coq au vin in retrospect was better than we had initially thought - or maybe the coq au vin we got subsequently during our trip in France was just not good. The verdict is still out on this one, but the waitress recommended it to us over the other options so they must take pride in their rendition of this classic french dish. read more

The secret should be out - this is a fabulous restaurant located in the heart of the 7th. On a Sunday night, our second in Paris, we were stumbling about. A good friend recommended a spot named Bistro Stella, but it was a long subway ride away it appeared and there was a tad bit of jet lag still lingering about us. So I decided to roam the streets of Paris, and it didn't take long for me to realize (1) most restaurants are closed on Sunday and (2) my efforts to read a French menu and distinguish between good and tourist trap was futile. I needed Yelp, and activated international roaming. Well worth it. Within seconds, I located L'Auberge Bressane, and it's excellent reviews. I walked by, and it was 7:30. There were zero patrons. So we continued walking, taking in the sights and smells of Paris. It was now 7:45. Two patrons. Keep walking. Finally, at 8:00, and with two tables of two seated, we walked in the front door and were promptly greeted in French. We smiled. They politely showed us to a table, after confirming we did not have a reservation. Who would have thought that by 9:30, half the restaurant would be filled with a bustling clientele of tourists, locals and American celebrities (who shall remain unnamed). It was really one of the most charming meals I had in France, and it was hands down the best soufflé I have tasted in my life. I started my meal with Sausage lyonnaise, sausage served with potatoes and herbs and stuffed with pistachio. Served warm, the warmth of the sausage combined with the soft potatoes and the cool herbs was a blockbuster combination. Times I've eaten something similar in the USA? Zero. Really a wonderful starter. I had coq au vin for my main dish, served with macaroni and a deeply condensed sauce. Sitting alongside the flavorful mushrooms were three big chucks of slow cooked rooster. Times I have eaten rooster before this? Zero. Loved it. My wife had a puffed pastry stuffed with two types of mushrooms, sweet breads and herbs. My wife had never eaten sweet breads before, and she ate the entire meal. Except two bites, which were for me. This was a delicious dish. For dessert, we split a chocolate soufflé, and it was simply incredible. Never in my life have I had a soufflé that was so soft, so flavorful and so light read more

Went back after 10 years. A bit of a tourist trap. Dishes were hit or miss. We went at 7:30, when they open, and the waiters seemed overwhelmed, even though it's surely like that every night at 7:30. The coq au vin was extremely dry, basically inedible. The soufflés were as good as ever. Overall, a mixed bag. Skip it and find a better brasserie. read more

A fantastic dining experience in Paris. Wonderful, attentive staff that addressed our every need and question. Started with the cheese soufflé to share with the table. Great beginning btw. Our group had various entrees. Tagliatelle with morels. Scallops with garlic. And veal chop with mushrooms. All delicious. Ended with the chocolate, Carmel and Grand Marnier soufflé trio sampler. Great wine list and help from the staff to work through it. A "can't miss" dinner option in Paris. Small place so make reservations. read more

This spot is an incredible spot in the 7th for bresse chicken aficionados. Between their coq au vin and their decadent poulet aux morilles - you will have a happy belly. Prices are moderate for paris standards, as main plats from 25-35€. Ambience and decor is traditional, old and tavern-like feeling, but it is casual and relaxed for groups and families. Just be sure to make a reservation ahead of time since this seems to be a popular neighborhood restaurant and the lovely maitre'd is warm and friendly (also speaks English well). read more

Stayed in the Rue Cler area for a family vacation and found this restaurant searching online for authentic French dining. Out of the entire week in Paris this was our favorite place. In fact, it was so good we went there twice. The restaurant specializes in soufflés and we shared the Crab Soufflé, and a trio soufflé desert. Also tried the Coq Au Vin and Beef Tenderloin. Everything was wonderful and well prepared. read more

What we had was the coq au vins, cheese souffle and chocolate souffle. Both souffles were great, puffy, light and very flavorful. The service was great and I'd definately go back, but as the other reviews stated its alot of food. The stand out moment is when the chocolate souffle was served. The waiter had us make a hole in the top, he then drops down 3 chocolate truffles. Then pours alcohol all over and sets it on fire... cool flambe . The only reason I didn't give this place a higher score was because of the coq au vins. It was a bit try and didn't taste fresh, it was probably stewing for quite some time and tasted a bit tough and dry. read more

We came here because it was across the street from our AirB&B apartment during our vacation in Paris. The food and service was wonderful. It is traditional French country cooking. We tried the house special, chicken with morels. Yum. The chocolate soufflé was perfectly light and fluffy. So we went back the next night. The staff remembered us and treated us to a glass of champagne. We tried coq-a-vin and beef Wellington. Both were wonderful. Had the chocolate soufflé again. This was our favorite find in Paris and it was a lucky random pick. read more

Absolutely fabulous! This is probably the best meal of my life! We went there on a Saturday night (3 adults and 2 kids). The service was perfect, they were very accommodating with the children. We tried the foie gras, la poêlée de girolles, the famous chicken dish, the beef, and les quenelles. Everything was Devine! I wished we had room For dessert but we were so full! The portion size are generous. If you are looking for the best possible French cuisine, go there! Thank you L'Auberge Bressane for your wonderful work and accueil! read more

From the generous portion of foie gras, to the rognons, and the pigeon, to the excellent cheese soufflé, and the gelato merengue chartreuse flambé, each dish is well prepared, and ready to be paired with a concise but well chosen wine list. Staff is cordial but not invasive -- what a relief! (I live in California) Not many tourists this time of year -- especially at lunch, when there aren't any at all, it seems. For me, that's just perfect! read more

Oh my I think I will dream about the souffles at L'Auberge Bressane. I thought I knew what a souffle tasted like - then I took a bite of their souffle trio and I know that every other souffle I ever ate was simply a lie. They are so incredibly light and fluffy it is almost a miracle. The main courses are delicious as well, full of rich and hearty options. I thought the coq au vin was delicious - the meat just fell off the bone. My boyfriend got the tagliatelle and I was in love with the fragrant mushroom and cheese sauce. All in all a fantastic meal in a cozy, friendly restaurant. read more

Came here by recommendation of a friend. Close to effiel tower but not touristy yet we heard alot of english in the restaurant. I ordered the puff pastry with aspargus and morels-- highly recommend as a starter. My friend had the cheese souffle, really good and pretty to look at. I ordered the crayfish dumplings and did not like it. I expected a tamale type thing and the crayfish was nowhere in sight. But we ended the meal with the salted caramel souffle.. the best! read more

Very authentic French restaurant. I would make a reservation before coming here, we came by on a Thursday evening and it was packed. Luckily we were able to make a reservation for later that evening. We started with the crab souffle, it was pretty big, I'd suggest sharing it between 3-4 people. We also tried the oeuf meurette, which we didn't care for and also shared the crawfish appetizer, I can't remember the name, that was really good. One friend had ordered the coq au vin, it was really good, again, could almost share it among 2 people. The other two of us ordered the steak with fries dinners and it was delicious, the steak was pretty tender. Finished it off with a trio of dessert souffles! All three were really good! read more

Popped in to this restaurant our first evening in Paris because it was close to our hotel. I had doubts, I usually like to try and research and be adventurous in my choices. Auberge Bressane was charming and wonderful. The staff was friendly with our minimal to no French. I believe we were the only non-french there. Tables were European style, very close together and they pull it out for you to access the banquette to sit. Clueless about specific French wines, we asked our server to recommend one based on our likes that was reasonably priced. It ended up being fantastic. I had free range chicken with morels in a creme sauce. Served with a side of pomme frites that I wasn't too proud to dip into my sauce. Hubby had tagliatelle with morels in cream. Both wonderful. But the piece de resistance was the salted caramel soufflé for dessert. OMG! Run, do not walk, and get you some of this. This is what Paris is all about folks. read more

By far the best coq au vin I ever had anywhere! Would have been 5 stars if 3 requests for water had not been fulfilled!

Best dinner we had in Paris! We ordered the escargot to start, I had their famous yellow chicken dish which was absolutely delicious, my husband had the Dover sole, and we had the 3 mini soufflés for dessert. It's a charming restaurant and a wonderfully french experience! Service was warm and friendly. read more

Great food. No cuisine nouvelle here, rustic, hardy dishes executed with a lot subtlety. Had grand marnier souffle, poulet bressane with great french fries. It's not cheap but probably the best meal 50 euros will buy you in Paris these days read more

American to American, avoid this place. Went last night and the dish we got (famous chicken in yellow sauce) was basically boiled chicken with a sauce for 30 euros, served with some fries. Other entrees not impressive though big portions for both chicken dishes, could have been shared. The salmon and potato appetizer tasted more like smoked salmon, definitely not worth it. Bread at start was not warm, and the little thing they give you when entering is on disposable paper cups. It is expensive, not impressive, I would avoid. It's hard but find another place! read more

Love love love! The service is the best so far compared many local French restaurants, passionate people very friendly who work here, good atmosphere, authentic French food of course.

I ordered half bottle wine at the beginning but we end up finished the entire bottle, unbelievable, will never forget how good the food here. read more

This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend who grew up in Paris. She mentioned that it was authentic, traditional French food and that the decor was lovely. I am not very well versed with French food, but I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. I ordered the veal sweetbreads, foie gras and the famous soufflés. The prices were comparable to restaurants in New York City, and the richness of the meal was something that stayed with me long after I left Paris. read more
