Staff was incredibly rude and non attentive. Food was ok but very greasy and the fries were limp. Never eating here again!

Stopped for happy hour and the drinks were fantastic & priced well. Great service as well!

This beautiful restaurant is as tiny as it charming. Located just steps away from where the famous scene in "Midnight in Paris" was shot (you know the one where Owen Wilson's character is picked up by a mysterious carriage.) The owner is sassy and a bit hard to read at first. But be patient and play along and you'll see the endearing side of him. The steaks. Get the steaks. And the pate. Absolutely the best steak I've ever had. Cash only. read more

Four of us stopped by on this small street searching for a good lunch and good French beer and were not disappointed. Very nice owner as well. read more

Prior to our trip to Paris we were told that it's ok to make dinner plans but along the way if you pass by somewhere that looks really good to (literally) go with your gut. So one night I wanted to go to The Bombadier but as we were walking up the hill we were overtaken billowing clouds of deliciousness. We started looking around at where it could be coming from and couldn't figure it out. Could it be this little unassuming place on the corner? I poked my head in, glanced to the left at the open kitchen and knew this is was where we'd be eating. First things first it's cash only so once I confirmed that I ran back to an ATM and prayed there wouldn't be a line out the door of other people following their noses. Got back 4 seconds later and were seated immediately in the basement which used to be a wine cellar (the place was built in the 1200's). Everything was dimly lit by candle lite which really created a romantic setting. As others have mentioned we were given glasses of sangria upon sitting which was a really nice touch. We decided to order off the 17 Euro prix fixe menu and to start off with a carafe of the house blush. With the carafe the waiter also brought us a ton of bread with garlic butter. Out of this world!! I found all the butter in Paris to be amazing but this had a real kick of garlic that I was eating straight when my wife wasn't looking. I ordered the rump steak smothered in Roquefort cheese sauce with fries. Boo ordered the glazed lamb chop with fries. Both meats were unreal but at one point we began dipping our fries in the butter which was prob the fattest moment of our lives. Oh well, "when in Paris" right? We stayed long after our food was done ordering several more carafes and just enjoying our surroundings. We actually went back for our last meal in Paris and had just as an amazing time sitting upstairs. I sincerely hope we'll get to go back sometime sooner than later. read more

Hello Yelpers! I'm back! I just finished an epic Euro/North Africa vacation and I must say that the most memorable dining experience of mine was L'Ecurie in Paris! I'm lucky enough to have a boyfriend who's lived in Paris and speaks French so we skipped all the touristy crap and got right into the good stuff. First thing's first: this area is so cute and lively at night! I love the neighborhood. Second: The owners of L'Ecurie are AMAZING. They checked up on us often and even joked around with us. It's a cute husband and wife pair-- you know those old couples who start to look like each other after awhile? Such nice people. The food! Oh my god the food. We both had the prix fixe menu for 17 Euros and opted to get steak with au poivre sauce (extra 1-2 Euros). If you thought you could go to Paris and not eat heavy you are sadly mistaken. The sauce on the steak is so rich and flavorful and fattening. SO GOOD. And it comes with fries. Steak and fries? Forget the USA, I'm jumping on the fatty French train. Your meal also comes with salad, bread, dessert and ambiance. This place is like an old 19th century cave. Beware of the water closet bathroom! I actually liked all those cute little touches though. Will definitely come back. This place makes me want to be a Parisian! read more

Uh oh. Did we just walk into an American dungeon? This place is a trip. It was just a couple of blocks up a hill from where we were staying (Villa Pantheon) and it had some decent Yelp write ups, so I figured we'd try it out. I already knew to expect the sangria and the whiskey, and the somewhat offputting ambiance. I wasn't fazed, but ... The place seems tiny when you walk in. Then, if you're lucky or maybe if you're just an American, they send you downstairs. The stairs were built by a blind, 98-year old architect. There is no way to walk down them without simultaneously kicking the person in front of you and almost hitting your head on the ceiling. Amazing construction. Then you get downstairs, and it's dimly lit by a bunch of oil candles in tall mason jars... and that's it. There's an archway that is maybe no more than four feet tall that you have to duck under to get to the area with the tables. It looks a lot like Gordon's Wine Bar in London, if you've ever been. No? It was a long shot. Figured I'd try the comparison. The walls are sloped and there are some tables that look so small they might be reserved for children. And everyone, at least when we went there, spoke English. Two American tables and one full of drunk Brits who sang happy birthday a bit too exuberantly. And then us. Americans. It was kind of weird. Made me wonder if this was a tourist trap but it just didn't feel very touristy. In fact, our server never said one word of English. Go fig. We went for the prix fixe. Tomato salad, bavette of beef (mine had the mustard sauce - hell yeah), and a caramel creme dessert (my brother had the chocolate mousse). €17! Come on. That's a damned steal. A bottle of Cote du Rhone for like €9 that came in a ceramic watering can. The whole meal came to like €45 and we were pretty full. I recommend going to the bathroom at another establishment. Their men's toilet is the ice fishing hole kind, if you know what I mean, and it is about four inches away from a dining table, with a gap near the ceiling so you can both hear every sound that is made on either side of the wall. read more

C'est magnifique! Hands down, best meal I ever had in Paris. Carafe of house red for 5 Euros; A rack of lamb that was fried to perfection w/ delicious fried potatoes, and for dessert, a heaping cup of glaces- all for 12 EU including tax and tip for lunch. Towards the end of the meal, the kindly French server/cook gave E and I shots of whiskey to cap off the end of midi. This place rocks. Tip: Brush up on your French if you only speak English. read more

After eating here I felt like I was punked by Yelp. Upon first walking in I realised cozy and intimate don't even begin to describe this place. The back room where we dined was barely a shoe box with four tables squeezed in. It was so tight that the other table had to stand up for us to sit down. It is certainly "romantic" and very French provincial at least from first impressions. We were greeted with Sangria as I had expected which was a nice touch, followed by a stale bread basket. This is Paris for crying out loud. If there's one thing you guys know how to do in this country is bake the most incredible bread. There is no excuse for stale 2 day old bread. The menu was entirely in French and the owner doesn't speak any English which I actually quite liked. It gave me a chance to practice my terrible French. Thankfully I'm a foodlinguist and am fluent in at least 5 languages if only to eat. Thankfully I was already aware of the Turkish toilet situation. However having 2-3 cocktails before dinner was probably not the wisest decision when using a squat toilet for the first time. I managed fantastically, at least until I had to flush the toilet. I just barely missed by a centimeter of being drowned by a deluge of water that came soaring out. As for the food, I had the giant shrimp which came with shells on and heads intact, fully burned along with frites. If you don't mind the taste of char and cancer I suppose it was quite good. Overall the food was painstakingly average. I could have cooked a better meal at home with one hand tied behind my back, and there would have been no danger of falling in the toilet! If I ate meat I might have appreciated it's country charm a little more, however as a pescatarian the menu was very limiting, leaving the negatives to far out shine the positives. read more

Simple well prepared food. Friendly dervice in a great quiet part of the Quartier Latin of Paris. Prices are reasonable in the 3 course menu. read more

It's been a year since I've been here, and it is still fresh in my mind. Easily the best Entrecôte I've had, and the sangria to die for. To this day I've tried to find a sangria that rivals this one, and it's nearly impossible, at least in Vancouver BC. For me this is Paris - I'll be back one day soon, and I can't wait. read more

Not the greatest service, the waiter was easily distracted and not very attentive. The entrecôte was great, but generally the food is nothing special. The wine was really bad. We got the carafes so we didn't have huge expectations about the quality of the wine, but it was pretty bad. Overall an ok experience but nothing mind blowing. read more

My favourite place in Paris! I try to come here for dinner every time I'm in this beautiful city. The food is always delicious, the staff very friendly and the cosy atmosphere makes you want to stay there until closing. The quarter around the pantheon is full with little cafes and bars and perfect for an evening stroll before dinner. read more

Cash only but worth it! The restaurant was only a few blocks uphill from our hotel. When we walked up, it looked so dark we thought it was closed. I opened the door and there was the owner stating it would be 10 minutes before he could seat us. We stepped outside since the place was so tiny. He carefully bought us some tasty sangria. I pointed at the door where a hastily penciled sign said CB. He said no credit cards. I had to find an ATM to get cash. He gave me directions and the first two were broken. I finally found one but now I was gone over 15 minutes. He was worried about me and my hubby says he went looking for me! Joe tried to leave but the tiny French woman wooed him back. I made it up the hill. She seated us in the back corner next to the bar which took some contortionist moves to squeeze in there. More free sangria greeted us. The owner shows up and charms the heck of me! They cook on a small flamed iron grill and the steaks looked heavenly. We both ordered the filet with mine being the au poivre and Joe's with mustard sauce with pomme frites. Ordered it medium but came at medium rare but tender, tasty and a heavenly sauce that my frites enjoyed dipping into!!!! I had the Creme Caramel which was ok. Joe had the show stopping Bananas Flambé. It was awesome. The charming flirting owner gave us some strong appertifs that would put hair on your chest. All of this for 50 euros. The place looks like a dump but go ahead and be charmed. My best meal In Paris so far. Oh, just outside the door Midnight in Paris was filmed here. It was almost midnight when we left but we did not enter the place till 10:15. Special Paris memories were created tonight! read more

Great dinner at L'Écurie. They began the meal with a glass of sangria on the house. Unexpected but nice to start the evening off. We showed up without a reservation and had no problems getting in at 8:30pm. No English menus which made our iPhone work overtime as my wife and I don't speak French. The prix fixe menu was a good deal at ~17€. Wait staff was great and helped make sure we were comfortable and the meal was a delight. Dinner was finished with complementary brandy. Check it out. read more

I love this place - not the best meals I've had in Paris, but for the price, superb. I've been there several times, great both in summer when it opens up and there are sometimes street performers playing music, and in the winter when it is a bit cramped (well, it's always a bit cramped, tiny place) but very cozy and comforting. Great old building and decor, nice touches like complimentary Sangria to start and cognac (I think) at the end, INCREDIBLE garlic aioli. Their main specialties seem to be grilled meats, and they are always decent but sometimes uneven, I've ordered the same dish a point, and got it either medium-rare to rare (which is what I expected) or VERY rare, but it didn't affect my enjoyment. read more

Steak was excellent. So was the hospitality of this very small and cozy place. Just be ready to sit almost touching people on the table next to you. read more

Katie took us there on a warm summers night, started eating round 9pm and at midnight we were still enjoying an amazing evening of street performers and just basic good food. read more

A French friend took me years ago, I go every time when I am in Paris. My guests have all been equally thrilled.

This place was awesome! Felt like I walked into someone's home and was being served. I loved the little French lady that took care of us. Every aspect if this experience was incredible. And the food was perfect. read more

Spot right out of the Alps - loved the meal! The shrimp was super but the lamb and the steaks were amazing. After a great apple pie we were too full to sample what looked like a really strong cheese plate so we need to come back! Enjoy, but since it is in front of the stairs from Midnight in Paris, make a reservation. read more

Well upon these review I went. It was not for me worth the cab fare! It is all the other reviews talk about in terms of the ambiance etc. but the steak was just ok. For me not worth the special trip I made. Maybe the hype was too much! read more

Came here given the proximity to our studio and the excellent reviews from before. I swear Aurora's review was not up when we went (we were there mid March) buuut we probably would have gone anyway. We both had le menu - between us we had the pâté and salade au noix, the entrecôte avec moutarde and the bavette avec moutarde, and the creme caramel and chocolate mousse. The owner, though brusque at first, was very friendly and helpful as the evening developed (just don't come for dinner earlier than 7 or you will be turned away...as we were). You're started off with complimentary sangria, bread and garlic butter. I do agree that the bread felt stale. The pâté was excellent, the salad good but heavy on the dressing. The steak was very good, but a reminder that medium for the French is closer to rare in the States, so you may need to choose bien cuit when asked how you like your steak. We chose mustard sauce on both our steaks, which was 2.50 in addition to the 17 euro set menu-other sauce options are poivre and Roquefort. The entrecôte had a nice char on it, surprisingly. Both steaks came with fries, and between those and the bread I didn't make it through my steak - my husband finished his. The owner was kind enough to wrap the remainder in foil for me to take home, something Parisians can be a bit snooty about. The creme caramel was nice, and the chocolate mousse was quite intense. It was a very unhurried meal overall, and the other guests seemed to enjoy themselves. I didnt find the meat too flavorful and probably wouldn't return to eat steak, but it was still an interesting experience overall. read more

Classic French restaurant. It has a rustic feel. Good food & drinks (especially the sangria). We decided to go for the 3 course meal which was only €17. We also added the aperitif which was good too! Simple yet, yummy- bread, cheese, sausage, & pickles. It really helped that we were with someone who could speak French & explain the menu to us. read more

This was the best service I've ever had at a restaurant, paired with amazing food. The house sangria was to die for (and we were all served a glass for free upon arrival!), paired with an excellent selection of cheap/great wines. The food was delicious, but really the service was what set the place apart. At one point one of my party dropped his fork, and the waiter (who was inside at the time; we were sitting outside) heard it happen and brought a new fork without any prompting from us. The location is also beautiful, with Saint-Étienne-du-Mont looking down on you. read more

Being our first night in Paris, what a wonderful introduction to traditional french bistro cuisine. We introduced ourselves in our best french accent "Je suis Australienne" and the waiter immediately made us feel welcome plying us with a complimentary sangria right through to a calvados to end the evening If I had my time over again I would order my steak sans sauce as I found the sauce roquefort was a bit rich. I really do just like steak grilled, and accompanied by a simple dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Frites and a green salad on the side. My partner would score this a 5/5. Me 4/5. As I am reviewing this I am thinking I wold be very happy to return again. read more

What a great experience! First night in Paris and we happen upon this place. The food, service and ambiance were wonderful. We hugged our waiter upon departure. Need I say more? BTW, the photos don't do it justice. read more

We weren't hungry when we spotted this restaturant but it looked so quaint and charming we couldn't resist. Friendly and cheeky service from the elderly owner and good value, simple French good food. read more

under 10e pichet (75ml) = Dungeon goes wild.

Yum! First place we went to upon arriving in this little neighborhood. Sangria! Steaks! Ambiance! Lots of local students eat there. Need I say more! read more

We called to see if they could take us last minute. They said no problem, but when we got there they had given the table away and said it would be at least a 30 minute wait. It was clear that he told us to come in without really having a table for us. I don't like places that operate in this dishonest way. Too bad because we had heard good things from a friend living in Paris and the reviews are very positive. read more
