    I was really excited to try this spot after spending a day at the Eiffel Tower. My family of 5 was able to be sat immediately. The food was a bit on the more expensive side, around the upper 20s-30 euros per meal. I was super excited for the duck I ordered but honestly it was very mid. My first bite was incredible - the duck was tender paired with a crispy yet juicy skin. However, the bites afterwards disappointed as the duck was too salty. My dad and brother both ordered steaks and they were a bit dry. My mom did not enjoy her mussels either. The caesar salad wasn't bad - the croutons atop were amazing, super light and crispy. The desserts were also mid - the crepe was a pancake? Not sure if French crepes are usually like that but that came as a surprise. However, the chocolate mousse was much yummier. The service was also quite slow. We were told not to flag down our waiter since he was the only one managing several tables. Honestly, that was fine though because it was pouring outside and we wanted to prolong our meal. The ambiance was very packed and lively. Similar to other restaurants in Paris, the tables were small and packed close to each other.

    Recently went to Paris and the food was magnificent. My family was near the Eiffel Tower and we popped into this cafe. The service was excellent. The Cafe is every thing you expect and want from Paris. The tables are small yet accommodating. And you can view the street from the front portion of the cafe. The food was decadent and one of the most memorable meals we shared while on vacation.

    Visited the Eiffel Tower and was really hungry afterwards. There are many places to eat all around the Eiffel Tower and I felt they were tourist traps. I did double back to this restaurant and I am glad that I did! Service was impeccable ! The food and drinks were great! The stand out was the crème brûlée!

    Yelpers, and elites, do not sleep on this place. Service is excellent. Prices are reasonable. Its a 5 minute walk to the Eiffel tower and the food is exquisite. Try steak frites, foie, onion soup, rotisserie chicken and the list goes on

    Came here because it was conveniently located near our apartment, it had good reviews, and you could walk in without reservations. Pros: - could walk in at 7:30pm on a Sat - good price point - meat comes with carbs and a salad Cons: - escargot wasn't as garlicy and large as other restaurants - ribeye was overcooked (could have been my fault though as I recalled after ordering that our "medium" doesn't translate well to French and I probably should have said "a point") - they pressured us for additional tips (I guess the restaurant is in a touristy area)

    When we're traveling, it's rare for use to eat at the same place twice, but we broke that rule for Le Bouchon because we enjoyed their food and service so much. Cafes and Bistros can be found on just about every corner and street in Paris, and it's hard to find a bad one. Occasionally though, you hear that they're either very touristy or not particularly friendly towards Americans. Not so at Le Bouchon. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like regulars from the neighborhood. Our server the first night was Sophien (sp?), who was very funny and happy to engage us in conversation. Like most of these Bistros, the space is tight but comfortable. It actually enabled us to meet and talk with other out of towners at nearby tables. There were some creative cocktail options and the ones we tried were excellent. They also have a nice selection of wines by the glass, at very reasonable prices (much better than in the U.S.). We started out with the requisite Onion Soup. Their version is a bit different in that the base was more of a Chicken Broth than the traditional Beef, and there was a clear undertone of Parmesan. Both worked very well! I also had the Escargot which were large and cooked perfectly with the usual very garlicky dousing of butter and wonderful bread to sop it up with. We were off to a very good start. For entrees, my wife had the Moules Frites, which was an incredibly large portion. She loved the flavors, but couldn't come close to finishing it. The Frites (fries) were excellent as well. I had Rigatoni in a Truffle/Parmesan Cream Sauce. It was so good! We finished the meal by sharing a Chocolate Mousse that was lighter than air and made with an intensely flavored chocolate. Heaven! After paying the bill and starting to put on our coats, the Manager, Raoul, asked to to sit back down. He then surprised us with two Limoncello's! On our last night in Paris, with legs weary from lots of walking and still needing to pack for the trip home, we really didn't want to go far for dinner. So, of course we went back to Le Bouchon which was only a block and a half from our hotel. We were once again greeted like regulars and shown to a nice cozy table in the outdoor area (enclosed with good heating). This time my wife had the Fish and Chips (yes, they have this in France) and I had the Duck Confit. Again, perfection! We again had good conversations with other diners, our server from the first night stopped by to chat, and the Manager, surprised us once again with a Limoncello for my wife and announcing that he had something special for me: an Argentinian Rum that he smoked at the table. I have no idea how he knew I love smoked high-end spirits. We can't recommend Le Bouchon enough. It's only a few blocks from the Eiffel Tour in a nice quiet neighborhood.

    We walked by and they introduced us the menu. We were cold, tired and kinda hungry so we just went in. Food is not bad, our total bill is a little over $165 for 4 people, 4 order and 1 beer. Just an FYI, I don't know if we speak English or what but When we are ready to pay, the waiter asked if we wanted to leave a tip. I mean honestly the service wasn't great and a 15% tip (servis compris) is already included in the check. This is required by the French government since tips are also gauged in taxation. Because of this, a tip is no longer necessary. But, it's hard to say no when asked right?

    Highly recommend this spot. It was right around the corner to our hotel. We were able to walk right in and sit outside and enjoy delicious food. I had the steak and frites and my daughter had the filet and frites. We shared a crime brûlée and cheese cake. Soooo good! So glad we stopped by to enjoy a little Parisian ambiance.

    Incredible

    Super delicious Parisian food! The steak is only good rare or medium. So yea, get rare. Flavorful, fast kind service, great ambiance sitting outside people watching.

    Steaks were delicious, mashed potatoes were divine, and the drinks were good! Attentive waiters and a beautiful outside setting just a five minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. We stumbled across this restaurant on a stroll and were not disappointed!

    Mmmmmmm!

    The most life- changing experience with French cuisine. This is what French culinary dreams are…read moremade of. Get the appetizer grilled foie gras with side of greens, you won't regret it. 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!

    This place was a huge letdown. They had a cute little artisanal market on the front left of the…read morerestaurant. 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.
