Strolling along the city, we were about to take the Alesia metro but decided to get some dinner. After checking the menu, we decided to eat at L'Ephemere. They have a great menu with a variety of pizza, pasta and other food. I decided to start off with their Aperol Spritz and the guys got beer. I ordered the lasagne bologne and it was amazing! I enjoyed it so much that I finished it. Also, I added their spicy olive oil and it was heaven! We also ordered pizza and chose the New York. This was tasty and hit the spot for our craving. The servers were really nice and helpful too! I definitely would come back here again. Delicious!!!

the food was average; ive had better pizza. The staff was very nice. Although there were a lot of wasps flying around they replaced our drinks for free when wasps flew into them. So if you have a fear of wasps or bugs in general I recommend sitting inside. The street it's located on is good for people watching, and their service was relatively quick.

Delicious mixed board.

My wife and I dined here during happy hour. The server must have noticed us struggling with the French menu and brought us an English menu instead. We ordered some drinks (beer and wine), a mixed board, and two plats. Service overall was good. The mixed board was excellent. I honestly wish we'd skipped the plats and just went to town on this instead. Everything on the board was delicious and filling. The plats were a different story. Between the two of us we had the carbonara with salmon and breaded veal. The carbonara was fine but boring. Not particularly restaurant-quality. The veal was overcooked and extremely dry. Maybe we made bad menu choices. The table next to us ordered pizza and salad and that looked much more appetizing. But we didn't really come to Paris to eat pizza and salad.

This was a quaint breakfast cafe near our hotel. The food was excellent, the service was top notch. The ambiance was very Frenchesque.

Good food, good portion size, good price. Wish they had more vegetarian options and cheaper drinks, but overall good place.

Le Comptoir de la Gastronomie - An amazing French onion soup...

The most life- changing experience with French cuisine. This is what French culinary dreams are…read moremade of. Get the appetizer grilled foie gras with side of greens, you won't regret it. The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

This place was a huge letdown. They had a cute little artisanal market on the front left of the…read morerestaurant. They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.
