We randomly stumbled into Relais Odéon as I was getting hangry and just needed some calories. A…read morewise man once said "any port in a storm." We sat here on the cute little patio and I was completely unprepared when the server came so I just glanced at the menu and ordered the first thing that popped out at me. "Yeah I'll just do a porn star martini." We ordered some charcuterie and escargot as an ode to the ultimate French ambiance. My girlfriend loves escargot, but I'm convinced she just loves the rich butter infused with garlic and parsley. As I was ripping into this porn star martini, my gf got email confirmation that she had landed her first apartment in New York. What a moment. Getting confirmation on your first NYC apartment while dawgin some slugs (escargot) at a random restaurant in Paris. So beast. We got another round of porn star martinis to celebrate. The bread was stale and the cured meats a bit uninspired, but the porn star martinis were firing on all cylinders. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

Le Chinon was right under our hotel, so we went a couple of times during our stay. There was…read morenothing noteworthy about the restaurant, but it was a good restaurant to go for drinks or dinner. A bit on the pricy side (but what place isn't, these days), but decent food. We went once for dinner, and once for a snack and drinks. (My husband also went for a drink one evening while I was resting in our hotel.) For dinner, my husband had steak and I had salmon, with some wine, of course. The restaurant is open quite late, and I was afraid the noise and music would disrupt us, as it was right under our hotel. To my surprise, I heard nothing -- either because the hotel was very soundproof, or the restaurant just wasn't obnoxiously loud late at night (whenever possible, I try and avoid hotels that are over restaurants or bars).

Stopped by after visiting Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, and I'm glad we stumbled by here! The owner and…read moreworkers all speak fluent English and are super kind and friendly. They play sports on the TV inside, and it is warm and cozy. Not to mention, the prices are insanely good, and the portion sizes are huge! A very satisfactory meal. The cappuccino was creamy and rich, setting a great tone for the rest of the meal. The ham was very fresh and umami, pairing great with the bread. The meat of the day was a steak, which was tenderly cooked and juicy. The French onion soup was tangy and savory, although I will say that the cheese could have been melted in a little more. We had been looking for frog legs at multiple restaurants, and finally got to try here. The size of the frogs was on the smaller end, but they gave plenty in one portion. Since the legs were fried, they were quite crispy, and the shell was seasoned well although the flavor didn't sink in that much into the actual frog leg meat (slightly bland but the meat was super tender). The star of the show were the mussels! The picture doesn't do it justice but the bowl was HUGE. Every time I felt like we were done with all the mussels, we'd dig through the sauce at the bottom and find a couple more. The taste of white wine was evident in the broth, and the mussels were fresh, chewy, and tender. We ended the great meal with the creme brulee, which was satisfying to crack the top and smooth and delicate on the interior. On the way out, we had left a hat inside, and the owner had ran after us to return it. Very kind people and great food to go along with it - recommend!!

The French Onion Soup was good. Lots of texture and had an elevated taste with the Foie Gras. I didn't have as much onion in mine but not sure if that's normal traditionally in France/Paris. The Duck Confit was great. Flavorful with some slices of seared potatoes. Other than that, not a whole lot of food for those that come in hungry. Suggest an appetizer or a couple glasses of your favorite drink. I would get the Duck Confit again FWIW, but if I came back next time I'm in Paris, I'd like to try another dish.
