    Roasted Chicken
    Nandu M.

    I don't know what it is, but I really loved this place. The service was very good. The location is just off of Boulevard Saint Michel. I ended up eating here twice in the same day. I had the Bordeaux and the Rhone wines (by the glass), which were both pretty good. For a starter, I had the French Onion soup, which was outstanding. It wasn't smothered in cheese like you find in the U.S. It had thick crusty pieces of bread in the soup. The Roasted Chicken was pretty good too. It's one leg of roasted chicken. You get chicken, fries, and a salad with that place. The Honey Pork Ribs were okay. The pork was kind of tough, and it had a layer of fat on the top, which was not great. But you can cut the fat off pretty easily. The potato au gratin served with pork, however, was amazing. All meals are served with an outstanding French bread rolls.

    Solid, quaint French bistro. Escargot were very tasty -- comes with a basket of baguette to dip in the buttery goodness. Mousse du chocolat was delicious, you could actually taste the chocolate! Americans, who would've thought!

    Very good food. It was a bit hot inside the restaurant so we had to move outside. The service was good. The French onion soup was pretty good. The entrecôte was amazing as was the raclette. The chocolate mousse dessert was out of this world!

    9/6/15: I believe that this restaurant, though very cozy and homey, was the weakest food-wise of all the traditional restaurants we visited here. It's not that it wasn't authentic, in fact, that's probably their biggest problem--the food tastes like it was made by your average home cook. That is to say, it was edible, but only eat here if you want to taste truly traditional food at the cost of enjoyment. It is probably significant that all the French item names were followed with English, which may or may not indicate something to you. 1. Pression 50cl 7.80 EUR: This was a French beer. Sorry I don't remember how it tasted. 2. San Pellegrino 50cl 3.10 EUR: Sparkling water. 3. Verre Merlot 5.00 EUR: Sorry, cannot remember how this tasted. 4. Escargots x6 7.00 EUR: So if you're gonna get this, I hope you have tried this at home in America cause the difference is HUGE, or more exactly, the opposite--TINY. Compared to the US versions that are typically 1.5" wide or so, these are about 2/3 the size from the exterior, but the flesh is MINUSCULE. You can barely clip the meat with that tiny snail spoon, just enough to drag the rest of the pea-sized meat out. One even was unreachable--I told the waiter there was no snail in one shell, and he brought out a toothpick!!!!! SERIOUSLY. Blew my mind that he did that. Anyway, it did work. Taste wasn't great either. Sooooo.... I dunno if this is typical of French snails, but you should totally avoid this if you've had it before elsewhere. 1/10. 5. Coq au Vin (rooster stew) 13.50 EUR: The famous French dish--"rooster" in wine. Whether they used a real rooster or just chicken, I cannot say. But it didn't look too pleasant--a dark greyish blackish color. And despite the dark color, didn't really have too much taste. If you gotta try it, try it but don't expect nothing great. 3/10. 6. La Raclette Grison (with smoked and dried beef) au Lait Cru 22.00 EUR: My French friend from home told me about this traditional dish, so I had to try it. Basically it's a little like fondue, except instead of dipping in cheese, you melt the plain cheese directly above, and it drips onto your food. This version is one of many on their menu, and is the most expensive. They give you a bowl of boiled small potatoes, some vegetables, lots of slices of really good cheese appropriate for this dish, and thinly-sliced cured meat. From the description it's smoked beef--but to give you and idea, it's like ultra-dry prosciutto that's somewhat less salty. There's quite a bit, so at least the materials are somewhat worth the price difference. Taste-wise though...... I dunno if it's cause of my American palate, but it's not really my thing. I don't quite get how the cheese (though super good) enhances the flavors of the various substrates. They don't really jive together. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that Europeans would appreciate this more. But I guess if you're American, you might agree with me. Still, nothing too fancy here, so I'll just say 5/10. 7. Aventuriere 9.50 EUR: Dessert crepe. They pour some REALLY strong and harsh liquor on there and light it on fire. The liquor is horrible--but I noticed that many places in France, even the fancy expensive places, use ultra-harsh brandies to accompany desserts, so maybe it's standard. I dunno. Nevertheless, the dish is cheap crap. This one is with peaches I think, but all of it was canned! Cannot believe they just put a bunch of diced canned peaches and cream inside a crepe and sold it for nearly 10 EUR. Wtf. Anyway, it tastes like crap and we didn't eat more than a few bites. 1/10. So, some commenters have noted they liked the interior and vibes. I guess I sorta can see that. It does feel kinda cozy. The server was quite weird though, and we never really felt comfortable. Just felt off here. Food wasn't good. Service was abnormally strange. I say go elsewhere. 2/5 #french #france

    Very good meal on a cold day. Started with The 3 cheese fondue--- perfect for 3 people. Lamb stew was so tender (and huge!). Beef stew my daughter had was perfectly seasoned. Loved the crepes. Ended with chocolate mousse. Ready for a nap!

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!

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.

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

    THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street.

Vibey 30 somethings and those of us tourists that have begrudgingly figured it out. It is close quarters inside, but when in Rome. My bestie from middle school and I shared the escargot (bless you) pasta, which was delicious, and the duck, which was exceptional. We split a very fairly priced bottle of wine and ended the night with the scoop of mousse. If they could figure out how to do that intravenously, that'd be great. The mousse reminded me of a great guilty pleasure, which is eating straight out of the can of Duncan Hines chocolate frosting (ask me how I know, I do this often, going to rebrand it to me being European).

It was a cute little spot with plenty of seating and a small bar right up front. The problem was that it's so cramped in there. They fully pack that place pretty tight in there. While they take walk-ins, they were so busy that had we not had a reservations we likely wouldn't have gotten a table in a reasonable timeframe. I think we waited about 15-20 minutes outside until our table was ready. As for service, while they weren't exactly rude, they for sure weren't exactly friendly either. This was also a spot that didn't cater too much to tourists by having English on the menu. I don't fault them for that though, it's their country. I would recommend having a translator app at the ready though with French downloaded. As for the food it was a bit of a letdown for me. We had a number of items to share with each other. Without having reliable signal in Paris, it was hard to use the translator app so I'll do my best with the foods. We ordered a ratatouille (don't think it was a traditional one though), a shrimp dish, white sauce pasta, escargot, duck breast and the chocolate mousse. The ratatouille was OK but was just like a roughly chopped cooked vegetable dish. The shrimp dish was fine as well but nothing standoutish. Our favorite dish was my friend's white sauce pasta; it was flavorful, rich and decadent but somehow not overpowering. The escargot, as expected was not good for me, but "When in Rome" (or Paris haha). It was just a weird chewy Thing that just tasted like oil and garlic with whatever herbs they used. I especially was off put by the little grains of sand or broken shell that was a part of each bite. The duck breast was a little bland if not for the sauce and it was also a tad tough as well. I will say the chocolate mousse was super rich and sweet; I couldn't eat that whole order by myself but it's nice to share for a little end of meal treat.

I enjoyed the mini mushroom raviolis and delicious Grand Marnier soufflé. The plat was somewhat odd because the chorizo chunks were really strong flavored which overpowered the scallops. I ate one chorizo chunk and pushed the rest aside. The scallops were cooked perfectly but not seasoned. The service was gruff/quite brief with dishes dropped by assistants. My biggest complaint was the stressful ambiance during the meal. It was freezing outside. The door constantly opened and new patrons came in hovering over diners in my room. Luckily I was not closer to the door and didn't have anyone over me. For ~170 Euros, the food was good but the experience was not.
