I decided to check out this restaurant after vising some local spots. I was seated quickly although the place was pretty crowded. I ordered a drink but mixed drinks are not the same here versus the states. It took a little while for them to take out orders and then there is the language barrier. A more English speaking person came over. They bring the juice and liquor separate and you do the mixing. I ordered the pizza because I was in the area so why not. The pizza was good. Not too much sauce and light on cheese. The staff was friendly overall also. read more

After a few hours of seeing Paris by foot and tour bus and following 2.5 hours at the Louvre, we stumbled upon this restaurant. Needless to say, we were famished and thirsty from all that sightseeing. The restaurant was pretty nice. Upon entering the foyer, we were seated almost immediately. The restaurant was somewhat crowded, but we were able to get a window seat overlooking the outdoor seating. The service was good. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. We had a great waiter, who was very conversational and funny. Since it was still early afternoon, we ordered a Caesar salad and a hamburger and fries. The salad was a good portion size. I was told that the burger and fries were both good. Though the restaurant was not on the list of things to do, we were glad that we found it by chance. read more

Fantastic lunch spot. Food and service were excellent and the location is right near d'Orsay museum. I could eat lunch here everyday.

Touristy place with average food but a great view across the river. We dropped by La Fregate in August 2023 after a walking tour over Paris. It was clear it was purely touristy place, but the view was great and we tired and hungry. The menu had some classic French items and we went for it. The food turned out to be average but good enough and we enjoyed the view of Louvre and Tuileries across the river. Overall, the restaurant is ok to have a quick bite in the center of Paris but keep the food expectations moderate. Duck Breast under Raspberry Sauce - this one was good and tasty though quite tough. Raspberry sauce was great! Pizza with Goat Cheese and Honey - good. Nice combo of goat cheese and honey complimenting each other. Entrecote - this was the worst. It was hardly chewable and our 15y-old son ended up leaving the restaurant hungry :( read more

Conveniently located down the street, a few blocks, from the D'orsay Museum. Casual restaurant. Instead of the water provided in a carafe they gave us Evian instead (I dislike being charged for water others are just provided) . Wine was good (Sancerre and Bourgogne), but food left something to be desired. Salmon lasagna was soupy and kind of one note and the duck with raspberry lacked seasoning. Service was a bit uneven. Not really anything to recommend them over any other eatery in this high volume tourism district. read more

After a harried day of sight-seeing, La Fregate was exactly what we needed: friendly, and chill, with good food for the family. The staff were pretty fun in how they interacted with us and it was a great place to watch the city go by. read more

Believe the hype... this place sucks. Food is bland, service is probably the worst I've gotten in Paris. It looked busy before 7pm but really died after. Looks like people might only come here for drinks. I know you're probably hungry after louvre but skip pass this place. The pasta had nothing to it. I really had to add salt and pepper to it. The pizza tasted like nothing.. how do you mess up pizza ? The drinks tasted more like triple sec than whiskey. Overall pretty bad. Got 2 stars because I managed to eat it because well... I was hungry after Louvre. I can say head down to "Boulevard Saint Germain " just passed this place and you can get of row of good food. read more

The environment is very live immediately there is a lot of people seated everywhere - staff/service was nice & attentive. We tried the pizzas & they were both really delicious!!! We were not able to finish everything in one sitting so we took it to- go, cocktail was also good as well! One con was definitely the cleanliness especially of the restrooms, it was very dirty. Other than that we enjoyed the food & service was good. read more

Walked in to get a snack a wine and water and ro use the toilet. Started with a waiter with an attitude. "You have to order food to get a glass of water". The waiter stated. Led to a lousy glass of sincere. An American diner menu. Even the toilet, no soap & broken hand dryer was annoying read more

Nice little place to sit, chill and watch the world go by. Crepe Suzette good, cider too. Just to cool down and enjoy. Friendly service read more

Amazing pizza selection & more than decent pie. Mr & I chose the chèvre, honey & walnuts. The chèvre was abundant as were the honey & walnuts. Filling & flavorful! Fun people watching, being on one of the main streets and the waitstaff was jovial and extremely nice Only downer was no French beers.....they offered the standards like Heineken or Guinness & we'd been hoping for something local Other than that, dine in or take out, we'll be back for sure read more

The moment I sat down here I knew it was a tourist trap but didn't care because I was hungry. My feet needed rest and I wanted to people watch not thinking about the street noise ruining the vibe anyways. I ended up just thinking whatever I have been trapped. Service was fine but the food was definitely overpriced and not worth... read more

Wonderful location along the Seine, across from the louvre. I went for a late night bite with my mom, I had a pasta dish and she enjoyed the duck. Both were absolutely delicious, but let's focus on the duck. A fruity raspberry sauce paired with lemon mashed potato's complimented the duck beautifully. I would recommend and will be back! read more

Excellent service, beautiful location on the Seine, and delicious hearty meal! My husband and I loved the beef bourguignon! My husband's lasagna was good, but he liked my dinner more. The meat was so tender it fell apart. The vegetables were all perfectly cooked. The sauce, mmm, so delicious! A really fantastic meal! read more

We stopped here after a LONG walk in the European heat for a drink. I ordered a lemonade and somehow was given something that tasted more like a watered down 7Up with a slice of lemon. The server wasn't very helpful and it took more than usual effort to get anyone's attention for service. read more

My wife and I enjoyed La Frigate immensely. Food was delicious, service was caring and attentive without pressing and seating was really comfortable. Their Profiterole was amazing and big enough for two! Highly recommended. read more

Four stars for location alone. Across from Musée de Orsay, across the Seine from the Louvre. Lots of artists around you selling their pieces. Stopped for an afternoon snack. Ordered the 3cheese plate, with salad. And a couple drinks. Nice cheese plate- with cold butter (yum). Waiters leave you alone to enjoy the scene of the Seine- and all the pedestrians. In agreement with other reviewers- the waiters definitely seem annoyed... which, we could have cared less...since we were ordering food and drink- not just sitting. It also tells me not to spend my money here for dinner. read more

We stopped in for lunch after touring the musee d'Orsay. This place is ideally located... right across from the Louve. Great for people watching! Staff was pleasant. The waiter forgot that I asked for balsamic dressing on the side. The standard dressing was placed on my salad. Once notified, the salad was replaced very quickly. Each dish was delicious! Reasonably priced. read more

One of the better breakfast places that offers a surprisingly fluffy, buttery and tasty croissant. View from restaurant is amazing as you can see the ferris wheel and Louvre nearby. Espresso is good as usual but OJ was simply flat in taste. However the star of the show was the Croque Madam, essentially a French toast with ham, egg and cheese. Toast was very delicious and the cheese they used enhanced the flavor. Highly recommended dish! Being in Paris you would expect tourist prices so don't be shocked to pay 10€+ for a simple croissant breakfast with a beverage. Will definitely return to this place next time. read more

Ordered the Croquet Madam and the cheese on the bread was hard, the bread was under cooked and only one piece of ham. Ordered the crepe du caramel and only had a very small amount of caramel. Service was slow. read more

Just a small local eatery when walking between The Museum Louvre and the Museum Orsay. Please try the truffle pizza....a must!! Great strong coffee that they serve with a side of hot water, just in case is too strong to the unaccustomed palate. Great option for a quick stop between exploring the museums. read more

Had late night crepes here. The "complete" was amazing, as was the Nutella and banana. A little thicker than usual pancake, but it went well with the savory crepe. The waiter was friendly and seated us quickly, both times we went (one during the day, once at night). The place has plenty of seating available both inside and out and has a certain charm, from the painted ceilings to the brass bar in the back. Worth a visit if your hungry. read more

This place was so good we ate here twice. We had breakfast and dinner. The omelets were huge. They were so big, we couldn't even finish them. The dinner was amazing. The pizzas were great. Our service was good and the ambiance was nice. read more

This place is designed to dish tourist slop. Service was slow and inattentive, bill was outrageous, and road traffic ruined the ambiance. My wife's food was served cold (obviously microwaved), all was flavorless. Considering the wonderful food options available in Paris, do not waste your time with a visit to this place. read more

Awesome spot.. Id recommend this for your first visit to Paris.. definitely a great place for you and your companion.

Great place to stop for a glass or wine or a coffee after walking a long the Seine. I sat outside to people watch and had a glass of Chardonnay and a Salade niçoise followed by GREAT cappuccino with plenty of foam. It was really nice to just sit and look around - even though it's at an intersection - so you get a lot of traffic noise -but its still a good spot and they make really nice food. I wish i knew they had Cassoulet - i didn't see it till now.. well, next time. read more

Pizza was pretty good but the beef bourguignon was better! It came in it's own little bowl and with bread to sop up the gravy. We got a bottle of rosé for 22€ which wasn't too bad! So glad they had outdoor seating AND heating as it was cold and rainy. Service was great. Food was good. read more

Located right on the road next to the Seine in the San Germain area. We had dinner as the sun was setting and had a table near the window. The corner of the Louve Museum, an old palace, was washed with gold and picturesque from the sunset. Why you go to Paris! The service here was excellent. There is a full bar and the ambiance felt historically Parisian. The menu had a little of everything and all was tasty. My tomato salad was an excellent beginning. It would seem that cream brûlée can not be screwed up in Paris. Did not feel touristy and locales seemed to be present. read more

Beautiful cafe/restaurant facing the Seine which is convenient to the Musee d'Orsay and and easy walk over Pont Royal from the Right Bank. We went twice. Once to have lunch outside under the heaters and enjoyed really excellent French Onion Soup and a Croque Madame. Our last night, we went back for a cheese plate and a glass of wine inside. The interior at La Fregate is incredibly serene and elegant. read more

We came here to eat before going to the Musee DOrsay. I was so disappointed. First of all it's a tourist trap. We saw no locals here. You can skip the beef stew and the veal stew. They both were bland and completely tasteless. The French onion soup was extremely watery. The salad also lacked much of any lettuce. The cappuccino tasted burnt. The only thing that was OK was the steak and fries. Worst of all the service was horrendous. Our server was Laurent. He seemed very frustrated when taking our order. When we asked for a to go box he refused and started speaking in condescending manner in French which he knew perfectly well we didn't speak. Overall we had a poor experience not only in service but taste of the food. It is rare that I say this but do not go here. read more

Ordered 2 Coke zeros. Charged €9.80 EACH. Some say tourist trap. I say scam artists who spoil Paris by their disdain for tourists.

Cassoulet. It was beyond my expectations. I'm back in the States and cannot stop day dreaming about it. We sopped up every last drop with chunks of warm French bread. There was hardly any conversation between my husband and myself once the bowls of piping hot cassoulet were placed in front of us. The fancy Russian family seated next to us had to listen to our endless yummy noises as we devoured our meal. The waitstaff was very good and quite attentive compared to a few other restaurants we dined at while we were visiting Paris. This particular meal was my birthday dinner and it could not have been any more wonderful. I highly recommend La Frégate. We're two big, nerdy Americans and they gave us the best table in the house with the best people-watching street view of the bridge activity and the Louvre. Heavenly! read more

After walking along Seine, we were looking at the place to grab some lunch. And found this. The menu had items for adults and kids, and the food was good. Our waiter didn't speak too good english, but she still tried and was able to get our order right. For a good lunch, I would recommend this. Not too expensive either. read more

A late night stop on our way back from the Eiffel Tower, and a most enjoyable stop at that. We were in need of warmth and a place to sit, as we'd been standing for hours and it had gotten pretty cold; the food and wine ended up being a nice bonus. The house red for me, two French Onion Soups, some fresh bread for the table, a creme brûlée, and we were set. Our waiter was even kind enough to offer up a charge for my phone as it was running low on juice due to my incessant picture taking throughout the day. Well, we warmed up (thankfully were seated very near the heater) and recharged in a very quiet and nearly empty restaurant. I'm sure the place was only empty due to the late hour, and we were so grateful they were still open, the fact that we had the place to ourselves was just an added bonus. The service was exemplary and the soup and bread very good. Hard crusty cheese on top and delicious onion broth below warmed our bellies and gave us the push needed to continue our still rather long treck back to the RER and our Air BnB. The creme brullee wrapped up the meal and we were on our way. The neighborhood was lovely, right across from the Seine, and I'm sure during a busier time of day this place is hopping. All in all, a wonderful stop and a delicious late night meal. Food and service top notch and it didn't break the bank, despite it prime location. read more
