    Unintentionally, I have eaten at Cafe le Bistro twice on two different trips to Paris and both times I just sort of ended up in front of it. It has a convenient location near Gare du Nord as well as some decently priced hotels. I first tried Cafe le Bistro as I was searching for some French onion soup. It has a good version of the soup and I was happy. :) It also has other typical French cuisine and the prices are average. It's probably not worth going out of your way to eat here, but if you happen to be standing right in front of it, it's not a bad option at all!

    Nice first breakfast after we arrived in Paris. My ham and cheese open faced sandwich was decent, although the cheese wasn't really fully melted on the bread? Wife enjoyed her pancakes.

    We asked a local for recommandations near our hotel and she suggested this place. The price looked reasonable and the menu looked good. Since we were a sunday and many places were closed, we decided to try this place. I had le déjeuner nordique and it came with a croissant, a plain yogurt, a freshly pressed orange juice, egg and smoked salmon and a hot chocolate for 12.90 euros. The price was ok, but I was expecting the portion to be bigger. The food was very normal and didn't have anything special. As for the service, the waitress isn't friendly and was a bit rude. They also charge 10% service fee. Don't think I would go back.

    Stumbled upon this after there was a 2 hour wait for Holybelly . Had the Brunch order which for 22€ you get nearly everything that you can imagine: -a juice (apricot, tomato, or pineapple -hot drink (of your choice) -eggs benedict -eggs scrambled -yogurt with fruit and granola -fruit -salad -sausage, chorizo, ham, shrimp, and smoked salmon AND their croissants, which are included are DELICIOUS. Everything was delicious. Everyone could speak conversational english and customer service was on point. Glad we came. Mercí!

    It was really the worst breakfast I ve ever had. To expect a easy Croissant and scrabble egg is not the biggest thing in the world. But if you get ur scrabble eggs and it looks like that somebody shit on your plate?!?!? Btw the taste was not that far away,.... Sorry but better don't go there. Restaurants like that should learn how to act with food. My French is really bad, but for that it's enough Catastrophe

    Terrible service - left after 25 min of waiting for our order to be taken. If you're American, I would avoid.

    Decent people watching, or if you want to watch the long line at Holybelly just a few doors down. Typical overpriced Parisian "brunch."

    Oh my goodness, what a find! We stopped here for no better reason than our apartment was right…read morearound the corner and we were in the mood for a nice French lunch. Such good luck! I started with the free-range eggs with mayo, and my wife started with the leeks with vinaigrette. The eggs were delicious, but the leeks may have been the best preparation I've ever had in my life. For our main courses, she had the egg muffin, and I had the sausage and mash. Our meal was superb. Whoever is in the kitchen has clearly learned the art of French cuisine well. Service was fantastic, the people-watching (we ate al fresco) was fantastic, and I simply couldn't think of a way to make this a better meal.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

Making a reservation isn't hard but you do need to email them and there's no online booking system. You also have to confirm again 1-2 days before. I understand they are small with a limited number of tables so that's fair and it seemed like everyone showed up even though they don't require a deposit. On a Friday night, it didn't appear there was much chance or walking in although there were like 2 open seats at what would have been a shared table. The menu is small and includes some typical French starters, steaks, 3 non steak entrees, cheeses, and dessert. All steaks come with potatoes, 3 sauces, salad. Service was a highlight. The waiter was personable and funny, had solid recommendations, and made sure leftovers were taken home. Also had a solid wine recommendation after asking some questions. They probably get a lot of people who don't speak French and they had no problem speaking English. The food- ordered a ribeye medium rare. The steak was so so charred on the outside and it almost ruined the whole thing. I really wish they would have charred it way less especially when it was ordered medium rare. There is seared and then there is burnt; this was sadly the latter. The steak itself was fine, honestly nowhere near the best meat I have had but the price is quite reasonable for how much you get. I would say the steak was maybe 6/10 for me, largely due to the cooking. The fries were phenomenal. Definitely a highlight and really tasty and with a great texture. Salad was good, pretty typical. I wanted to like the sauces more but found them just okay. The best by far for me was the blue cheese sauce but even this one I thought the flavors could have popped a little more. Atmosphere was fun, there were a few bigger groups (6-8 which is the biggest they accommodate) but it never got unreasonably loud. Overall I wanted to love it but was a bit disappointed even though the service and fries were both great.

    My wife and I came here after hiking around Montmartre and saw all the great reviews for this…read morerestaurant here and on other sites. We were so looking forward to the frog legs, onion soup and other delicacies pictured. We got there and the sign was just as it was with the same name -- Au Pied du Sacre Coeur. We should've noticed something was wrong when no one was inside. When the waiter (lone person working along with cook) gave us the menu, my wife and I stared at each other completely confused. The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup. He looked confused and just said no. Out of respect for him, we just ordered the charcuterie, which featured stale bread and a few slices of meat taken from my local grocery store in the U.S. Also -- they claimed to not accept any international credit cards. WHAT HAPPENED? Are all these reviews fake? Most likely, they underwent new ownership right when we visited. But new visitors -- please beware. Do not trust any of the reviews before mine. If I was mistaken, please post photos and just tell me that I was part of some elaborate joke to ruin a lunch for me and my wife.

It's a perfect date spot, the homey decor bathed in a dim amber glow, while the lovely aromas of cooking fill the air. With a single server, there's time to ponder the menu: Their magret de canard au miel et fleur d'oranger is prepared until moist and yielding, and covered in a creamy honey orange glaze that renders the duck all the more sweet. In the mood for creative? Consider the supreme de volaille faisie au foie gras et figues confits, packed with flavor. Last, their rich - and very, very French - onion soup is a must, with generous onion chunks and pillowy melted cheese. From start to finish, everything is superbly done.

That meant that the sauce for the beef had congealed, yet even congealed, it was tasty. My companion's meal looked better than mine. She had the duck and ate the entire thing. I was very jealous of the mound of green beans that she got. She cleaned her plate. Like I said, I think I ordered the wrong thing.
