    My husband and I first came upon this place when visiting Paris in February. We enjoyed the pleasant ambiance and kind wait staff. The best thing for me, however, was the steak de thon mi-cuit (seared tuna). Wow, the best I've ever had! I love the sauce that it is served in and that it is coated in sesame seeds. So delicious! It also comes with yummy mashed potatoes! We are now back in Paris for a long visit for an art course. After my first week of classes, my husband took me here to celebrate! Of course, I had the tuna once again. Our daughter is visiting us now and loves seared tuna so, of course, we took her here a couple days ago. She agrees with me! My husband has had something different on each of the three visits and enjoyed what he had (he had their salmon most recently). Needless to say, we would love to come back!

    It might be the most acceptable tourist spot ever. Thought I was ordering actual pan fried foie gras though not the canned form.

    This was a treat, a short distance from the jardin du Luxembourg. And possibly Paris's best fries!! The servers were nice, and there is WiFi you can connect to. The music and vibes are fun and lively. There's this fun charming youthful and coziness. True to it's name translated to "sweetheart". You'll find giant teddy bears guardians, hosts and as company.

    Le Choupinet is French for sweetie or cutie a term of endearment. This restaurant is popular with IG selfie takers who pose with some of the giant size stuffed animal Teddy bear. By the looks of the condition of those teddy bears, I would not touch them, after everyone else has :( Like most restaurants it was busy, but we just wanted to sit for a while to rest from all the walking and decided to just have a little something as we had dinner plans later. Alas, a yogurt parfait mousse and espresso martinis...both Trés Bon! While in Paris in the busy St Michel area, it's nice to pause and sip a drink and do people watching with or without the cute teddy bear Le Choupinet, a fun casual café restaurant. Recommend

    We had lunch here and had a lovely salmon and avocado tartar accompanied by a nice rosé! The food was very fresh. We also had Crème brûlée and another dessert both of which were lovely. The service was excellent.

    Artichoke

    The food and service were excellent. We at outdoors at a cute table. The artichoke was amazing, as was the lentil salad. Also enjoyed poireaux vinaigrette and filet daurade was well prepared.

    Stumbled upon this spot after leaving Jardin du Luxembourg and checking out it's fantastic playground. Such a great spot to come to with a hungry family. It's insta-worthy, unique feature of sitting giant bears at your table kept my kids excited and entertained. Our server was great and understanding that we have to feed my youngest daughter her own food due to her food allergies. He recommended the French onion soup which is one of my favorites so I had to try it! My husband got a burger and fries, my oldest daughter got a side salad and fries, and my mom got the goat cheese salad, which I had an opportunity to taste and it was delicious. I wasn't in love with the spinach ravioli because it was heavy on the spinach filling, but the french onion soup totally made up for it. As an appetizer my table split the escargot which I don't care for, but my oldest daughter tried for the first time and liked! Super cute spot! I bet it's pretty popular during the weekends and summer season given it's trendy, fun ambiance, great service, and good food.

    Yummy food, beautiful decor, friendly staff who also spoke English. The menu had English and French. You can people watch ofnseated near window. Within walking distance from Select Hotel.

    Steak a Cheval
    Hannah T.

    The escargots were super good. Very big and would definitely recommend. I don't know if maybe it's because the appetizer was so good that the entree fell flat. We went for lunch and got the croque choupinette and the steak a Cheval. The croque madame was lacking flavor. I also didn't know that the steak a cheval was basically a hamburger patty topped with an egg. It completely lacked salt. The fries were good though. The bears sharing the tables because of COVID were absolutely adorable.

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.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins.

I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris......

We were later offered a high-top table, but I explained that I had recently undergone knee surgery and could not sit comfortably at a high-top. The manager's response was simply that it was the only option available, and she walked away. We were told the preferred tables were reserved. When I asked if we could make a reservation for one of those tables, I was told no because the restaurant had just reopened. The entire interaction left us feeling unwelcome. A customer sitting at the bar even commented that he believed we were being treated differently and said it appeared the restaurant did not want us there. After waiting more than two hours just for the restaurant to reopen, this was an incredibly disappointing experience. The poor communication, lack of accommodation, and overall service were unacceptable. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

We headed to Chez Janou, a Paris institution. I hadn't been in years, but my son insisted we go back because, according to him, they have the best chocolate mousse in Paris. Judging by the lineup, half the city; and every tourist with an Instagram account showed up. Thankfully we had a 2pm reso. Here's the thing, though. Everyone talks about the mousse, but the food deserves just as much attention. I'd also forgotten how much I love the 3rd arrondissement. Wander a few minutes from the restaurant and you'll find beautiful art galleries, a gorgeous little park, and some of the best boutique shopping in Paris. It's one of those neighbourhoods where you accidentally walk 15,000 steps without realizing it. Now, here's your game plan. Start with the escargots or the gambas to share. For your main, order the farci provençal or the foie de veau. The farci is like a French version of a stuffed pepper: yummy comfort food with a southern coast twist. As for the foie de veau... I actually ordered it by mistake. I thought I was getting regular veal. Out came veal liver. Best mistake of the day. I love liver. My mom makes an incredible liver and onions, so I'm a tough judge. This was outstanding. Rich, buttery, perfectly cooked and perfectly salted. It was so good I immediately texted my mom and told her she's coming here the next time she's in Paris. Drum roll, please... The chocolate mousse. Was it worth all the hype? Yep. There are no fancy swirls or little artistic desserts here. A server simply walks over carrying what looks like a white industrial-sized bowl of chocolate mousse and casually drops a mountain of it onto your plate. Everyone grabs a spoon and starts digging in. It's wonderfully French. Simple. Unpretentious. Ridiculously good. So yes, Chez Janou lives up to the hype. But don't just come for the mousse. Come for the lunch, stay for the neighbourhood, and spend the afternoon getting happily lost in one of the best corners of Paris. That's a Friday well spent.
