    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.

    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

    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.

    THE FOOD ------------------…read more+ Notre Dame Granny Smith Apple Confit - Was refreshing! I couldn't tell if this was a real apple or some fancy French creation made to look like one - that's how real it looked! The mousse and apple bits were cold & delicious and the chocolate shell was good, but not sure if it was worth the price at €7.5. + Pain Au Chocolat Cookie - Verrrry good chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant mashup. Only thing that we were missing was some good ol' milk! + Almond Croissant - Once again, delicious! Solid croissant and definitely a good grab and go candidate. = Citronnade - Was just OK. Lemonade that was on the watered down side, but was somewhat refreshing because I was dying of thirst. THE SERVICE ----------------------- - Employee who helped us with our order was friendly, but the cashier was a bit blah and not exactly the friendliest person, especially when we asked for extra utensils and napkins. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ - Smallish, tight interior that you can dine in at, but don't be surprised if the next table is sitting on top of you. + There are also 5 outdoor tables on the narrow street. - Entrance is tight too. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------- + Even though this bakery is ranked highly on Tripadvisor, there was no crowd on the Monday morning that we swung by. Line moved superfast.

We came here for some coffee on a rainy afternoon, but were pleasantly surprised to see escargot on the menu too and figured we'd give it a shot. Coffee wise we got the vienna coffee which had chocolate inside. It was good, with a nice espresso flavor and a huge dollop of whipped cream on top. A nice pick me up for the day. The escargot on the other hand, was so fantastic. They were served all cute in their little shells on a tray, and bubbling when we first got them. The green sauce that they came with was fantastic, and the butter was also a great addition! This made for such a flavorful little bite - escargots taste like little chewy clams to me, nothing strange at all. It also came with a few pieces of baguette to soak up the yummy sauce. Service was friendly and the inside of the restaurant has such a nice vibe. I would definitely recommend this spot!
