We were looking for a light appetizer near our hotel and L'Imperial looked inviting. Having just finished a chilly cruise on the Seine, both my husband and I ordered a hot bowl of French Onion soup. It was exactly what we wanted: steamy, cheesy goodness with plenty of caramelized onions and delicious broth. Service was fast and friendly. I imagine that if the weather is nice it would be enjoyable to sit at one of the many tables on the sidewalk, watching the world go by. read more

L'Impérial - French Onion Soup - delicious - Brasseries Near Me - Paris, 75

Great spot near Tullieries Gardens. It's a bit pricy for what the food is, but with its prime location that is expected. Appetizers were good for what the kids were looking for, pretty basic. The entrees were good. My wife really enjoyed her salad and my son's chicken was good. Finally service and cleanliness/ambiance were 5 star. This made the simpler food very enjoyable for a family with picky tweens. read more

We stopped in, and we were in for a pleasant surprise. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I had the penne parmigiano, which was superb. My wife enjoyed the beef stew, and my daughter had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, which she really liked. We came back later that same evening after sightseeing and had dessert. I would recommend this restaurant. Very nice and friendly staff. read more

Amazing food - friendly and professional staff. A must when in Paris. It's also a great in a gray location to stop for a minute and soak in Paris read more

The ambiance is really cute and the servers were super nice. The food was good, but I was a bit disappointed with the Caesar Salad. However, they did make up for it with the banana split for dessert. read more

After walking all day in Paris today and feeling very hungry, I went to this restaurant today with my family(three of us). I ordered roasted chicken and I was starving. As soon as I tasted a bit of it, I could tell it was a pre cooked chicken and it was reheated and warmed up again. I asked the lady, who seemed to be a manager or something, but she didn't know English and called our server. The server confirmed the chicken was cooked before and was reheated. It tasted awful and I don't even reheat home made cooked chicken at my own home, and now I had to eat it at a restaurant and pay for it. I asked him nicely to see if I could order something else, but he came back and said no and ba it is what is. I turned it away, and had to pay for the disgusting reheated cooked chicken. Terrible customer service and at the end , my daughter found a dead fly in her glass of water. I was so upset with the service that I dis not see a point of telling them about the fly, being sure they did not care what so ever. read more

So many stops made and food eaten while in Paris! As I was going through a plethora of pics, I came across our lunch date at L'Imperial. We had spent most of the day in the Louvre catching up on pieces that we missed out on during our first trip together, all the walking had us feeling hungry and close to hangry ... we ventured out to see what we could find. L'Imperial is perfectly located across from the Louvre and near the Jardin de Tuileries, where we spent the second half of our day. Everything you would expect from a French Cafe and more. Price and portions are well mirrored. Drinks were refreshing and bar menu choices weren't overwhelming or complicated. A tourist spot for sure but well received by many. One of the yummy spots we lunched at during our stay. You may order items to go as well. read more

L'Impérial - A nice stop after trekking through the Louvre - Brasseries Near Me - Paris, 75

We had planned to go to a restaurant near the Lourve (as we were planning to go there after), but found it super crowded. We were walking quickly to find an open restaurant and stumbled upon here. Inside was big, but the tables were quite cramped next to each other. Service was quick and always attentive. We ordered the escargot, a staple food in France, french onion soup for me, and the duck confit for my friends. We loved the escargot. As tourists, we were surprised by the pesto sauce it was cooked in. However, we were really excited to eat famous french foods. The snails tasted great and was a great appetizer. My soup came out quickly and was topped heavily with cheese (def not complaining!). I never ordered this before in America and didn't know what to expect, but loved it. It was a bit salty, but loved the bits of bread they put in. My friends' duck was unfortunately really dry. The piece was pretty small as well. The potatoes that came with it was really good though. I would recommend this place as it was super cute and convenient. Unfortunately, the duck confit was dry, but the other dishes we had tasted great. The servers were really nice and always super prompt. We were able to walk over to the Lourve after. read more

Visit Date: March 16, 2015 After strolling down the Rue de Rivoli after a trip to the louvre hubby and I decided to eat here. The waitstaff was very accommodating. Originally we were going to sit outside but it was a little cold so they gladly moved us inside with no complaints. The coffee here came in a giant cup which I loved so much, I was eagerly looking for my giant cup of coffee in Paris. My salad was fresh & tasty with yummy goat cheese! This place is expensive but it's worth the price if you're looking for a place to eat on Rue de Rivoli. read more

Trying to find a decent place on the Rivoli, we decided to try this. Service was very good, even though they were busy. And the food- magnificent. Mom had the Boeuf Bourguignon. I tried a bit. It was stellar. I had swordfish and scallops, skewered. Just perfect. Served with julienned veggies, which were also very good. Yes, it was expensive. Yes, it was crowded. But I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

Very good duck salad. Never had it before. Highly recommended! Will go back to try other items.

Simply excellent! When on the Tivoli it's a must. I suggest you sit on the side street it's cooler but less people to watch. The staff are amazing and the food is expectedly French, or superb. Plus if you sit on the Westin Hotel side and your a guest you can access the WiFi. read more

The croissant was chewy and not flaky at all. The omelette was nice large portion but the mushrooms seemed straight out of a can and the entire dish was salty and laked flavor. Cheese would've been nice inside the eggs. Only good thing was the strong Americano unfortunately they charged me for a side of milk. read more

The worst french onion soup I've ever had and they marked it as typical french food on the menu haha. The bread was burnt black and the soup literally had no flavor. The cheese was barely even melted. I ordered a salad which was also not very good. Prices here were pretty expensive for what we got. The inside was pretty but that is about it. I guess it was truly a tourist trap or I ordered the wrong thing! read more

First waiter/maitre d' took our order and disappeared. Second served us a very mediocre cappuccino by European standards. Then the pièce de résistance, 14€ for one double cap! Buyer beware. read more

Quite shocked this heavenly restaurant is not 5-stars. In my many trips to Paris I've yet to come across a restaurant that so seamlessly weaves together excellent regional cuisine with sterling customer service. My brother and I enjoyed so much that we decided to eat here twice-- in a gastronomic capital of the world, this may seem foolish, but the experience was so lovely we couldn't help ourselves. The food was incredibly fresh, beautifully served, and crafted with love. Our waiter was a perfect gentleman, allowing us as much time needed with the menus, making recommendations, and detailing the specials without being overbearing. We only ordered water and beer, however every cocktail that left the bar looked worthy of being in the cover of a magazine. TRY THEIR MOJITOS! I know mojitos in Paris???? Shhhhhhhhh, just do it! Our carafe d'eau was never left empty and we were treated as family. On my next trip I will return for sure. read more

I came to this place will vacationing with my family. The atmosphere is very clean, nice and the service is fast however the food has much to be desired. The scrambled eggs were burnt and very over cooked. The French fries were nothing special and the pasta seemed like cheep noodles and sauce was not good. The price is also very high. Very disappointing start to our vacation French food experience. There are just too many other places close by to choose from. I would not return. read more

This restaurant is my favorite in Paris. And I have been to quite a few Michelin star places. The food is never disappointing and the staff is extremely friendly and speaks incredible English. Every time we have family in town to visit us at our Paris apartment I make sure to bring them here. The menu is incredible for both lunch and dinner. Seating is tight but worth it. read more

This is the place you realize that Americans aren't really liked in Paris. At all. However, I can't blame them for some of my fellow tourists, so I'll eliminate that annoyance from the ranking, leaving this place at a solid three-star. This place was busy, but it could just be because it's located in a touristy area. That is the caution. However, the food was good and offered a taste of Paris without venturing too far out of your comfort zone (if you are that type of person). One warning, everything is served al la carte, meaning you'll pay ENORMOUS figures for extras for your meal. After ordering an omelet, frites, hot chocolate and a water (which was bottled), I had spent $40. Don't make my mistake and be aware of how much money you'll be spending. read more

The main thing I remember about this place is the great soft and fluffy mash potatoes. I had the beef bourguignon which was good but realllyyy salty. The portion was huge too because I couldn't finish it and I always finish my food. My friend had the lamb which she said was fantastic though. We also had sugar crepes for dessert. Meh, unimpressed. I wouldn't come here again but the location and the decor are great! read more

Great place to sit down and watch people walk by. Friendly staff. The 16$ large cappuccino is way worth it!

Came across the restaurant after going for a walk in the first night of our arrival to Paris. From the moment we walked in the service was excellent. Our waiter helped us with the menu, he didn't rush to take our order and answered all our questions. We had the French onion soup along with each salads which both were excellent. We each had a dessert and once again we were not disappointed. It you are looking for excellent service and food this is the place to stop by and enjoy. read more

We were practically expelled from the cafe by the owner (or manager), a blonde lady in her late 40s. Long story short, we asked the waiter if we could buy coke and water (on an extremely hot day) and we're told to buy them at the bar. We sat down to eat our macarons and paid €9 for two bottles of water and one diet Coke (more expensive than the restaurant inside the Chateau de Versailles by the way). She came to us and, touching our drinks, was rude and said that we had to leave. No, she didn't say, she yelled at us, paying customers. We were spending a few days in Paris and we were very well treated everywhere we went, except for this cafe. This is what gives Parisians the reputation of being rude and keeping tourists from coming back to certain places. I really think this behaviour should be called into attention and hope that this situation changes. I am certainly not coming back to this cafe and will recommend to all my friends (and also via yelp, foursquare, Facebook and other social media) for people to stay away from this place. read more

We are staying right around the corner from this restaurant, and we were super tired from a very busy day, so we decided to stay close by for dinner. GREAT idea! We started with the fois gras appetizer, which was fabulous. We had the roast chicken and mashed potatoes and the pasta with parmesan and parma ham, and all were delicious. I can't explain why, but the mashed potatoes were heavenly! We finished with the hot fudge sundae dessert - also wonderful. The wait staff were very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend this as a delicious and friendly place to eat. The wine selections were delicious too. Incidentally, we stopped in for some of our party to grab baked goods for breakfast on the go this morning, and those were very good too. read more

Good sidewalk cafe off the park. Salads and the cheese burger are great. On the expensive side but....

Coffee and food were fine but the prices for the coffee were outrageous. €10.40 each for the double cafe au laits - be careful.

Well this ain't a great review but you can still get worse! This is typical of the area but better than most. Attentive service and nice decor. We had two coffees and a camembert with ham sandwich which was absolutely awful. The Camembert was so unripe it was devoid of flavour. Dry and with hardly any butter it was, sadly, typically bad. The coffee was deeply average. One citron presse and some frites. 35 euros. read more

This place has a nice atmosphere but the service was subpar. Our waiter was not attentive. When we asked for things it seemed as if it was a bother. However, The food was yummy. We ordered Duck Confit and Steak and Mashed potatoes. The duck cooked perfectly and the skin had a nice crisp skin. My steak was cooked perfectly. I would eat here again as the prices were in the mid range 10-20 euros for entreees read more

I loved this place, along the Rue de Rivoli. It's nice to sit outside if you can and you are able watch some of the carnival happenings that is across the street in the Tuileries during the summertime. The food is really good, and they have a great selection of wines to choose from. The service is fine, and the atmosphere feels very welcoming and enjoyable. Definetly a nice place to go for dinner! read more

The food was good but very pricey. We ended up here walking from the Louvre when it started to rain and we were starving. The escargot was delicious but expensive as were the salads and drinks. The sandwiches were reasonably priced. The decor was a little tacky but kind of fun. I noticed on the menu it said all prices are raised by 1€ after 10pm. read more
