We enjoyed our favorite meal in Paris at Le Bosquet. It was raining and we were tired and we felt very warm and comfortable here. The kids enjoyed the pot roast, my wife had the raviolis, and I had the confit de canard. The duck was fantastic! We loved this restaurant. read more

Visited Paris for the first time, and stumbled across this place while walking around the Eiffel Tower area. It was our first meal in the city, and my girlfriend and I were not disappointed in the slightest! The food was fantastic, the service as well (very nice, spoke English). This restaurant has outdoor seating with heat lamps, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We liked it so much, we decided to eat here on our last night in Paris as well. 10/10, would recommend eating here if you visit Paris! read more

Centrally located, this bistro offers a smattering of traditional French cuisine at within-reach prices. If you stroll the Seine, visit the Eiffel Tower or Musée Rodin, this is non-touristy, good eating. Decor: modern, bistro. Waitstaff: warm and welcoming. Bathrooms: odourless, clean. Food: Most excellent lamb. Fragrant bar with thyme accent. Sole was also a standout dish. Raspberries and strawberries in coulis, provided a perfect finish. read more

Looks really nice and they are deceiving. We are adventurous eaters and through our two weeks of travel we have had exceptional good in a few different countries, including France. This wasn't one of them. We went fairly basic, I got the burger which h came out well done and the top bun was toasted so hard I could barely bite through it. Wife got the risotto and fish which came out with a a dollop risotto, the ravioli for our friend which was just cheese mush. The fries that accompanied my burger were said to be hone made but they were cold and didn't taste very fresh. The reviews were outstanding for this place and we had high hopes but even the espresso was bad. read more

Le Bosquet is a gem of a place. Located on a pretty corner, the cafe has a comfortable yet classy feel to it. Service was kind and the food was exactly what we were looking for for a late lunch. We wanted to return but they were closed three of the days during our visit due to the holidays. read more

Our first time in Paris and we wanted to try duck confit. Found this place on yelp so we decided to give it a try and we weren't disappointed. The duck confit was AMAZING! Crispy on the outside and tender meat inside. If I'm ever in Paris again I will definitely be back. read more

I had high hopes for this place and I really appreciate it's location for being so close to the Eiffel but I think my expectations were soon lowered throughout my dining experience. We were never given salt and pepper, I was never given a steak knife, my steak was tough, unevenly cooked, over cooked, and saltless. For the prices, I expected better but I guess that was just not in the cards. I don't think you should come here if you want a good dining experience that represents the potential of culinary greatness that Paris can offer. I do think you should come here if you're close to the Eiffel Tower, have low expectations, and want to check some things off on the ole Paris bucket list like eating escargot or steak frites but don't be fooled into thinking you will get a quality dining experience. read more

Le Bosquet - Worst Margarita I've ever had ....sorry - Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

This was our first dinner in the city and we chose this place based on other Yelp reviews and its proximity to the Eiffel Tower. They have traditional French bistro fares served in a modern setting. Service was friendly and efficient. For dinner I had the escargot and goat cheese salad--both delicious and very satisfying! My husband had the entrecôte cooked to medium and he really enjoyed the simply cooked yet tasty meat. My boys shared the roast chicken served with mashed potatoes. The chicken was "very juicy and the skin melts your mouth" (my boy's words). All in all we'd come back here if we were in the area. read more

Probably the best and definitely my favorite meal of my short stay in Paris--at least out of the meals not completely made up of baked goods. When I arrived, I wasn't yet that hungry, so I opted for an Aperol spritz. I had seen it advertised everywhere in Paris, so I figured I should give it a try, plus it would have the added bonus of stimulating my appetite for dinner. The spritz was super refreshing, not too sweet, and plenty boozy! Pretty much a home run. After polishing off the drink, I ordered the duck confit and a glass of wine, which were both fantastic. I have never felt more Parisian than sitting out on the patio of Le Bosquet, enjoying duck and some wine for a late dinner. The service was good, but really the combination of the food and the classic urban French ambiance is what made this a fantastic and memorable meal. Come here, sit outside, and live the good life! read more

my girlfriends and I came here for lunch since it's right around the corner from our hotel and it was one of my favorite spots that we tried in Paris! We came for the escargot (snails) and the duck confit. The escargot was absolutely delicious! It's definitely bigger than normal escargots that i've seen, but the flavor from the herbs and butter was perfect! one of my friend was very nervous to try the snails (her first time) but she ended up liking it! The duck confit was falling off the bone! The skin was crispy and the meat was so juicy! Best duck that i've ever had! also, the waiters speak english here so there wasn't any struggle with communication. woo! read more

Yes, there are English-speaking tourists here. This is a Rick Steves recommendation in a Rick Steves-recommended neighborhood (the Rue Cler). If that concerns you, take a cab to the 14th arrondissement. The food is quite good here, and the service is excellent. Yes -- excellent. It takes a high degree of skill to wait on demanding people in a language that is not your own. Give them credit. We had no issues at all with our orders. As for the food, the duck confit is everything you'd hope for, especially with the little roasted potatoes. My wife had smoked salmon, which was a very nicely done slice of lox. A tarte tatin for dessert was scrumptious. Good winelist. read more

Our first meal in Paris was here and we enjoyed it enough to come back a second time later that week. I thought the service was warm and tourist-friendly. Both times we were helped by this nice bald gentleman who wore reading glasses around his neck and really liked him. The atmosphere is light and contemporary but a little worn on the furnishings (mostly the booth seats). On our visits we ordered: rib eye, chateubriand, whole roasted seabass, and duck confit--I think the latter two are worth trying. Not that the beef dishes were bad but my suggestion is to order it cooked just like you would in the States. Prior to coming to Paris, I was advised to order meat as well-done if I wanted it to come out what we would consider medium, but that was not the case. Whatever variation of potato they serve you on the side (herb roasted, fries, or gratin) will be delicious. The house wine is very good and not expensive (4-5 euros). Never had room for dessert but they always looked tempting. I like that the menu had a mix of simple French classics (onion soup, duck) but also some familiar American favorites (roast chicken, cheeseburgers, etc). so I think this would be an ideal place if traveling with family or children. Overall this place is reliable for a pleasant, affordable meal. Open late some nights until 11:30, which is great if you are coming back from an exhausting all day tour and just want a good dinner in your belly before walking back to your hotel. read more

This is where I had my birthday dinner and it was remarkably Parisian beautiful.. From the ambiance to the waiter everything was superb.

Ooh and so were the snails!! read more

Duck Confit was very tasty to the palette. Sea bass was also fulfilling, meaty white fish with just a little flavor.

We started out looking for traditional French food but when we saw the cheeseburger delivered to the next table we were sold. The food was great the service was great. I highly recommend this place. read more

Perpfect. I'm from America, came on Valentines Day! Perfecto. I will most definitely be back.

Best dinner so far... Thank you Yelpers for the amazing recommendation. While my daughter and I shared the escargot and French onion soup, she ordered rib eye and I ordered duck confit. Wow! I must say they were both delicious and cooked to perfection. We ended dinner with a creme brûlée pistache...merci Le Bosquet! read more

New to Paris, we stopped here for a quick bite on our way through the drizzle to see the Tour de Eiffle. Lovely lunch; both kids had burgers (huge!), I had the goat cheese salad (divine) and hubby had the bruschetta (not as expected and he wasn't a fan). Kids enjoyed some chocolate chaud ... adults enjoyed some wine. Pricey; 100E visit. Service was absolutely lovely and we enjoyed how friendly everyone there is. read more

My lovely girlfriend and I enjoyed our first New Year's Eve dinner together here while visiting Paris. The atmosphere was very good. Our waitress was attentive and kind. The place was packed (of course) and she appeared to be the only waitress. It was a fixed menu that evening but the big boss let my girl, who is a vegetarian, order off the menu. She had truffle risotto with mushrooms and a side of mixed veggies. It was delicious (I ate the last four bites). I had the steak which came with a side of veggies. Steak was good but not spectacular-it was a bit tough. For desert we had the chocolate cake which was very tasty. We left about 20 min before midnight and the big boss gave us another two cups of champagne to take with us to the Eiffel Tower for the light show. We would go back again to try their full menu next time we're in Paris. We read more

Ate here for lunch while sightseeing on a work trip. Stopped here specifically because I wanted to eat outside but it was windy. The advantage at Le Bosquet was their sidewalk seating area had walls on the side to block the wind so it was a pleasant experience. Service was typical of my experience in Europe, waiter was not friendly which I don't mind but was slow. I know that is the culture but still tough to get used to. Had the French onion soup which was very good as you would expect. Then had a chicken dish with mashed potatoes, forget the name but it was very good. Only went inside for a minute but the decor was modern and nice. Right by the Eiffel Tower so a good spot to stop if you are in the area. Far enough away that it is not touristy. read more

I had dinner here again and the exact same meal. The onion soup was amazing!! But the chicken and mashed potatoes were unfortunately extremely dry. My husband had ravioli a which were awesome & we both has chocolate cake which was perfect. Over all I would still recommend this place to Americans or anyone else. Super friendly atmosphere & the food is good 90% of the time from my experience. I wouldn't recommend the chicken after trying it twice. It's low in seasoning and I had to add lots of salt both times. read more

During our week's stay in Paris, we were fortunate to enjoy this lovely restaurant several times. Whenever we returned, staff greeted us as dear friends and ushered us to the best tables. It was fun to see the gentle competition among servers to see who would get our table. We ate at many restaurants during our stay but none was better than the Bosquet - this restaurant became our source for comparing other restaurants. Their Onion soup is milder (to me) - not quite as heavy or rich - as other restaurants we enjoyed. Also, their staff will work with you to order items not already grouped as a meal on their menu, so you can customize your dinner a bit without excessive cost. It's located on the corner of Bosquet and Champs du Mars, within easy walking distance to L'eiffel Tower (5 or 10 mins) and the Cler district (5 mins). Their prices are usual for this kind of restaurant. Dinner for two persons averaged about 55€ after 10% tip. As with other restaurants, be aware that each cup of coffee is charged as a separate item. I highly recommend the Bosquet Cafe to anyone looking for a great meal of traditional French cooking! read more

When we stayed in Paris this summer we walked across the street to have dinner here. The service was great and the patio is of course a perfect setting for a night in Paris. The wine was amazing and the goat cheese salad was to die for. From the drinks to dinner to dessert we enjoyed every moment of it. Definitely check this place out if you're staying in the area. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Paris and we visits during every trip. It is close to the Eiffel Tower in a tourist area; however, we noticed many locals eating there. One of the few places where reservations aren't necessarily required. Their prices are very fair and the food is excellent. read more

This was our favorite gathering place for lunch and drinks, and dinner and drinks for the ten days we were in Paris. The 6 of us stayed in a fabulous apartment just around the corner from Le Bosquet. We fell in love with all of the waiters - laughing and telling stories. The food was always good, large portions with excellent wine selection. The ravioli dish was one of our favorites - tres riche! Some of the best pommes frites in Paris. Just a stones throw to Rue Cler markets and the Ecole Militaire. Can't wait to go back. Merci beaucoup for fantastic service and incredible food. read more

This was our favorite dinner while we were in Paris. We had the escargot and French onion soup to start. This was our first time trying escargot, and we have to admit, it was pretty good with the way they prepared it. For our meals, we had the duck confit and lamb chops. They both were SO good! The duck was so tender and the potatoes were a perfect pair with it. The lamb chops were so flavorful with mashed potatoes and green beans. For dessert, we had the creme brûlée trio. They were all good, but we really just preferred the original. Overall, we would love to come back here and eat again. With all the overpriced restaurants in the area, this one was worth it. read more

I love this place! Although a bit pricey, Le Bosquet is a place that I will always go back to whenever I'm in Paris. The wait staff is one of the friendliest anywhere. My friends and I were here one cold, drizzling September night and the inside tables were not ready to accommodate 13 of us. The terrace was closed because of the weather but the owner gave us blankets and fired up the outdoor heaters so we can wait in comfort while our tables were being prepared. That was totally unexpected and made our night a very pleasant one. Every dish that we've tried at this place has been delicious! I'm an adventurous eater and I ordered the steak tartare and the waiter asked me two questions: "Do you know what that is?" and "Are you sure?" That's the first time that a waiter has asked me if I really wanted a dish and it made me really curious so I said yes to both questions. I was not disappointed. The dish tasted like a tasty beef sashimi and, although the pink meat scared me a bit, I was glad that I ordered it. The duck confit I was not impressed with but coupled with the red wine, that I asked the waiter's recommendation on, it changed into a tasty, smoky, tender, crispy treat that I would definitely order again. The French onion soup was an overwhelming blend of Gruyere cheese and onions that was very flavorful. The decor is a classy, modern setting inside and a relaxed, casual setting on the terrace. Look out for a little "closet" with a door in the inside of the restaurant where the wait staff duck into to grab wine in the cellar. I don't know whether it was the wine, the late hour or both but my friends and I were amused by it. Let me know if it's just me or it's as amusing as we thought it was... read more

We were searching great French onion soup near the Eiffel Tower. This fit the bill. A great meal for my group of 8. Good food, efficient service at a fair price. We enjoyed steak, roasted chicken, assorted desserts and French Onion Soup. read more

Very disappointing after reading all the great reviews. The escargot were ok. But the steak Tartare was inedible which is a real shame for Paris (tasted like very vinagry ketchup). Served with fries that could have been made from frozen. My boyfriend had the filet de boeuf, which was ok but quite small and nothing special, which you would hope for at 29€ a piece. Served with a good gratin dauphinois but boiled tasteless vegetables. Service was ok but the manager lied and said service was not included. We later checked and by law a 15% tip is included. read more

This is a small but cute and modern cafe in a quiet neighborhood location. There's s bakery across the street where they get their bread. Everything we had was fresh, the service was good, and the meal we had was really great. We just touristed out and did all the 'classics' like French onion soup, escargot, and steak frites with a Gorgonzola sauce. Everything was just great. Nothing too fancy but really well executed. This is kind of your quintessential French cafe but well done. I don't know that I would necessarily go to great lengths to specifically go here but if you're in the area it's a safe bet! read more
