I love this place! It was definitely worth the trip from the hotel. The waitress speaks mostly French but we got by with some of our French. The staff were very friendly. The restaurant itself had a very homelike vibe. I felt relaxed and able to enjoy my dinner while chitchatting. The French onion soup was fantastic. One of the best I had. It had the right amount of cheese and wasn't salty. Just the right amount of flavor. I had the beef stew and it was very good. I believe it was the special of the day so I decided to try that out. It wasn't too fatty or salty. The flavors were just right and the beef and potatoes blended well together. The crème brulee was something that I am a fan of here. It was burnt to the right amount. The custard was amazing. Yelping this makes me crave the crème bruleee.Also, the portions were large which gives you more for your money. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a French meal. read more

I wish excited to eat here because they came up as #1 French onion soup in Paris, however it left a lot to be desired. Bread was burnt and not much cheese at all. Also, the beef Bourguignon (what the place is named after) tasted good but wasn't much different than regular beef stew and there was a lot of fat. Also, the host sat us in the back near the kitchen, which was noisy and an eye sore. Not sure why because we were the only folks in the place. read more

First time here based on Yelp stars. Food was good but far too expensive! Service was kind although they hardly speak english. read more

We chose this place based on yelp reviews and on proximity to our hotel after an exhausting day of touring. We were not disappointed. Nice comfort food at reasonable prices made fresh. Service was fantastic from owner Yvonne. Quick and hot. Desserts are house made. Our favorites were classic chocolate mousse and creme brûlée. Fun real Parisian experience we felt like locals. read more

Le Clos Bourguignon - Brasseries Near Me - Paris, 75

Went here last Thursday with my two girlfriends, one who is a Parisian and my other friend who is American. I found this place off of Yelp. I really loved that it was quaint and cozy. I had the French Onion soup as a starter and it was delicious. I highly recommend it. For my main meal I had the beef bourguignon. I enjoyed it but I felt the broth was a little strong for my taste. I'm quite sensitive about alcohol in food. My friend had one of their steaks and it was amazing! The color and cook of meat was perfect medium rare. My other girlfriend had the chicken and mushroom dish that she thoroughly enjoyed. Lastly we split the Creme Brulee which was fantastic! They gave good size portions as well! I'd definitely come again! read more

Quaint little French bistro-style restaurant. I had family visiting and so we came here specifically in search of the infamous beef bourguignon dish. It did not disappoint, either. It was 15€ and tasty and hearty on a cool fall day. The portions were just right as well - we all finished our dish. The owners were super cute and friendly. We had made reservations for 7:30 (super early according to French standards), and the place was mostly empty, but man by like 8pm or 8:30 as we left, the place was jam-packed with French people. So I'd say it's a popular choice in the saint lazare/madeleine/Haussmann area. read more

Decent but not impressive. We stopped by for a quick brunch, their French Onion Soup was just ok (broth felt watered down), and silverware was dirty. read more

French onion soup was not good - no flavor except the cheese. The assorted cheese plate had a bug that kept flying around and eventually rested on it. The vegetable plate was basically a cold salad. Not impressed and would not recommend. The drinks were good though! read more

My wife and I visited here on our honeymoon in January of 2013. The weather was frigid and very snowy which made getting around difficult but our visit was made much more enjoyable by our dinner here. We stopped in for dinner to learn that no tables were available. We made reservations for a tad later in the evening and ran off to The Hard Rock Cafe to pick up some souvenirs for family. Once back, we were greeted warmly and the dinner with everything from the warm French onion soup to a beautiful steak and potato meal with an amazing light salad was incredible. This brasserie is very cozy and the people were cheerful giving it a wonderful ambience! Highly recommended!! read more

This is why I love France so much. A restaurant full of charm and food so good that I close my eyes while a bite is melting on my tongue. For a starter I had fois gras du canard fait à la maison. It was heavenly and not expensive at all. The entree was saucicon Lionnaise; another exceptional plate. I'll come back! Highly recommended. read more

This was my favorite meal during a week in Paris. It is the authentic parisian restaurant experience. Expect no english to be spoken by the man or woman who run the place. However, she understands enough to get your order right. There were multiple Americans here who spoke less french than me. It was crowded for a Monday night, with lots of locals enjoying a meal. Compared to some other restaurants, the menu here is big and you have quite a few different options: e.g. lasagna, pot roast, duck confit, tuna fish. I started with Escargots. I was hoping for a garlic butter sauce, but instead they serve them in a brown gravy. They were fresh and plentiful - there were more than 6 in the dish ... probably because they were small. The server woman gave us multiple baskets of fresh sliced bread to sop up the gravy! I wanted a hearty meal, so I chose the beef pot roast. It was several chunks of marinated roasted beef served with fat noodles and roasted potatoes. Perhaps the best thing about the meal was it's cost: two people eating and splitting a bottle of wine costs under $100. It could have been even cheaper if we ordered a carafe of house wine instead of a bottle. I would definitely come back here if in the area. read more

I very much enjoyed finding this little spot amongst the hustle of the area. The atomosphere is not fancy but comfortable. Lots it locals chatting it up with the bar tender. The place seems family owner and authentic to the region. The woman serving me spoke English but also helped me practice my French. English menu was available. I had the speciality of the house the beef stew. Very honey comfort food. Wine choices were good and the price overall was great. The only downside was the place was so small that outside smokers could still be smelled indoors. read more

This cosy resto was a 5 minute walk from our hotel. The server didn't speak English so I used my 6 years of grade school French to order dinner. The escargots came in a nice creamy sauce and were absolutely delish. Steak Frites was also very good. Profiteroles for dessert ... Yum. 3 lovely choux pastry puffs with delish scoops of vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate. Great end to a great meal and a great week visiting Paris. read more

Tried to find one of the best beef bourguigon places in Paris and this came up in the top three on Yelp. It was just ok. Husband had the plat du jour of the chicken which was very dry. Atmosphere is nice and homey and the waitress is wonderful. read more

Nice place near Printtemps. While we were there it seemed mostly filled with tourists (maybe all following Yelp). The service was very good and the food was as well. Ordered the onion soup based on recommendations, but didn't find it as amazing as everyone made it sound. That being said, the duck confit was awesome (however unhealthy it may be). My daughter's steak was cooked perfectly as well. read more

Great! Cute little restaurant with great french onion soup and beef bourguignon. Both we fantastic! Service was friendly.

Foie gras and boeuf bourguignon at this classic Frenchy resto rocked my lunchtime palate before hopping the train back to St Pancras back in December. The escargot was memorable as well. Open late, it's one I plan to keep in mind and very much hope to return to soon. What Clos Bourguignon lacks in space (it's a tight little joint crammed with tables for maximum elbow rubbing capacity) it more than makes up for with atmosphere. Service (although surly) is quick. Reservations are recommended unless you've got some downtime and don't mind lingering at the bar for awhile. read more

AMAZING food! We enjoyed our meal so much. The French onion soup might have been the best I've ever tasted. The steak and stew were cooked perfect. Try the pepper sauce on the steak. Amazing flavor! Kind and friendly couple helping us were great. The ambience is so comfortable and homey. We will be back again! read more

Le Clos Bourguignon - Best meal in Paris! - Brasseries Near Me - Paris, 75

Still cant understand how this place got 4 stars. The food was awful and the service... Terrible Customer Service!!! Service: We were seated right away but the the lady who took our order was impolite. We asked for "une carafe d'eau" (tap water) yet she brought over bottle water, when i corrected her she failed to bring water to our table but yet served the tables around us. Had to ask her several times before she finally brought it over. Our food came out later than the tables next to ours who order much after us. We asked for the check but was ignored several times, finally the french couple next to us asked for theirs and ours but yet she failed to give us our check for another 10 mins, they got theres within mins. Food: Confit de canard - EXTREMELY salty and bitter. This was the worst i've had in Paris. Onion soup -ok not great. Faux filet - Hard as a rubber, couldnt get my knife through it. Flat meat steak - The steak had so much fat, we took two bites and tossed the rest. Escargot - Had to spit out due to sand. Ambience: Cozy Seriously the worst experience i've had in Paris. Dont waste your time and money here. read more

Good basic French food. We had the escargot, onion soup, foie gras, duck confit and salad (w/ crayfish). The salad portion was very generous. The price was reasonable for Paris standard. The server and bartender were friendly. read more

I really wanted to like this place, as other reviewers gave this high acclaim, but the food wasn't that good. I had the beef stew thing, and it looked great, but the taste was bland and just tasted like stale beef stuff. Perhaps this is how it's supposed to taste, but either way, not super tasty. There were also a couple flies buzzing around, and the atmosphere was very dead. You probably shouldn't come here if you wanna end your trip with a bang. read more

Found this lovely restaurant thanks to Yelp and it was charming and delicious. We had the escargots, boeuf bourginon and the porq special of the day. It was my sister's first time trying escargot so I was nervous but the preparation was delicious and she was a fan. Entrees were a very healthy serving and tasty. Although we don't speak French, the woman working the dining room was patient with us. From the look of other patrons, this appears to be a neighborhood gem that you might visit for dinner for one or enjoy a wine or spirit after work at their bar. We may go back one more time before this trip is over, next time saving room for dessert! read more

Well I didn't want a heavy meal, but came anyway, based on the very positive reviews. I would have posted a picture of my (awesome; delicious) all veggie salad, but I ate it right up (literally). I did save room for desert and coffee, which they 'flamed' exactly to my request (I like it very carmelized). I would return, and, based on the brisk business, I'm sure this restaurant will be around for a very long time. :) read more

We stopped here after seeing the Yelp reviews. The service was very good, with the owner speaking to us in English which made things easier. I ordered the onion soup to start. It was good but not hot enough and the piece of bread in it had been burnt. For the main I had the beef stew, a house specialty. The meat was tender, but the dish was very salty!!! Would not eat here again. read more

They were welcoming and friendly. we ordered duck and chicken, both were deep fried and too oily, potatoes had a strange marinate that I didn't like ( obviously this depends on personal taste, not their fault!) Overall, it was one of our rare not that great experiences of dining out in Paris! read more

Fantastic place. We seemed to be the only tourists. Very kind & smiling hosts. Food (beef bourguignon & duck leg) came really fast. Delicious! Very good value. read more

Went with high expectations based on the review but what a big disappointment! Everything tasted bad. Food not fresh, bad quality, not hot, got weir taste. Server has a cold, constantly blowing her nose. I lost my appetite and was afraid to eat the bread. We hardly touched our food, desperately wanted to leave also in need to immediately kill the bad taste in our mouth. read more

Fantastic dinner again Had the onion soup and beef bourguignon (what else, such a tourist but my favorite). A friend from France brought me here a year ago and both meals were consistently good. The owners are friendly and helpful as well even if you do not speak French. Please try it if you can. read more

This place serves amazing authentic french fares and we love it! We were the only tourists in the restaurant at the time and we got a few weird glances but it didn't stop us from trying the food here. It seems that the restaurant is run by a couple and there was a homey atmosphere to it. We were served by the lady. She spoke sufficient English and we could understand each other about the menu. A french couple on the table next to us recommended the Langue de Chat de Bœuf (the man said it is "the most tender part of the beef") with Foie Gras Sauce to us as this dish is unique to the restaurant. I tried it and it was AMAZING!! Very tender and tasty beef steak with generous portion of salad and potatoes, accompanied by their DELICIOUS homemade foie gras sauce. It was absolutely brilliant, especially accompanied by a glass of red wine. My mom ordered their homemade Beef Bourguignon (Beef Stew) and my sister had their Confit. Everything was amazing and the meals come in generous portions! I will come back to have more Langue de Chat de Bœuf!! read more

O.M.G. The family that runs this place is so cute! I love the old family French feeling. The man (maybe the husband?) speaks some English and the woman (maybe the wife) speaks very little. However, she tries to communicate with you by pointing and confirming. On the outside, it looks small, but it's actually a bit more spacious. I love the home-style atmosphere. My boyfriend ordered the beef bourginon and I ordered the duck confit. They were both amazing, but the duck confit was definitely a must order (if you don't mind the oiliness from the duck skin). Both the beef and the duck were melt in your mouth tender. Just a bit of a warning, the potato that comes with the duck confit is a little spicy from the raw garlic. If you're on a date, I would avoid eating it or ask without garlic to avoid the smelly garlicy breath. The portions were big and affordable than other restaurants in the area. Overall, great gem! Great people, food, and price! read more

The onion soup was sort of like what you'd have at Petit Four on Sunset Strip. It had a gratin cheese topping. The escargot was plentiful and was very flavorful, just slightly chewy. They are snails after all. The main courses we had were some duck thing which we couldn't make out. The dish was composed of spherical duck protein, maybe they were large duck testes. I'm not sure. But it was good just uncertain of its composition. The sauce was good. The entrecôte had a great flavor but was chewy. It wasn't butchered enough for me, removing the sinewy parts of it would have been nice. I had to do most the butchering on my plate which thankfully I am capable of doing. We didn't have dessert because the meals were very hearty. The reason I can't give this place four stars is because of the annoying habit of Parisian restaurants allowing their waitstaff to take breaks in the middle of a service to go outside to grab a smoke. The waitress comes back inside smelling of smoke and continues the service. This is not something limited to this restaurant and if you read other reviews of mine, you'll see similar comments. But this stupidness needs to stop. Smoking is not conducive to a pleasant gustatory experience. I don't want to smell that in the middle of my meal. How I made it through the 1980s with everyone smoking in restaurants I have no idea. But Jesus Christ if they ever allow this shit to happen again, I will stop eating altogether. It just amazes me that an intelligent and educated populace like that of Paris' continues to habitually smoke. It didn't ruin my meal but it definitely is a turn off. My final recommendation is to go there and enjoy your meal, if you're in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way though to find this restaurant. read more

Hair in the food TWICE. We came in after shopping looking for some French food and Yelp lead us this way. We ordered the onion soup, NY steak, and the duck. Halfway through our soup we found hair in our food. Noooooo! So I pulled the hair out of the baked cheese and put it to the side and alerted the manager? Not our waitress. He asked I I wanted a new one or if I was finished...ummm there's hair in it so we are done. He took it away and we waited for our entrees. I got my food, the steak, and two bites into it I find hair in the salad. Same short brown hair with an auburn top. Ugh. Where's this chef with frosted tips?! I alerted my waitress immediately and she said carrots. Like I was an idiot who didn't know grated orange carrots when I see it. So I pointed with my fork to the hair and she finally sees it and says ohhh in an "I love Lucy" voice. I just shrugged like yeah. Le sigh. The manager comes over and asked if I wanted a new one but I was over it. My husband said the duck was fine. They took the steak off and when I got my bill the freaking onion soup was still on there. We had to ask for it to be removed but he acted like he didn't know what the hell was going on. Terrible customer service. They laughed and talked about it the whole time we were sitting there. I would strongly advise you to check your bites before you take them read more

This was near my hotel. Cozy and friendly. I walked in close to closing but that was no issue. I ordered "eggs mayonaise" and "beef bourgogne" (served with noodles). Both were excellent, the beef was extremely tender, and portions were huge. Although close to tourist epicenter, it was not "touristic" but just plain honest and authentic. I will be back read more

My wife and I came here based on the reviews. Not at all what we expected. The taste was sub par, the cost just too high when you consider the taste of the food. It was hard to find and not at all worth the walk. The onion soup had less taste than most and the Entrecôte, the most expensive item on the menu, was very hard to chew and tasted like any other low cost stake. I would avoid this place at all cost, there are many bars in the city with less stars and much better food. read more

The price is right and the portions are large, but I thought the quality suffered as a result. The atmosphere was cosy, if a bit outdated. This is not a hip restaurant, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was an early bird special. My steak tartar was doused with too much egg yolk and seemed to be prepared earlier in the day. But the service was good and friendly. For budget conscious travelers, this is a decent meal. I do not plan to return, however. read more

Really the best onion soup I have tasted! IT IS A MUST TRY! The food and waiters are friendly and very good. The price is good and value for money! Definitely recommended read more

It was 95 degrees in Paris. We were looking for a place close to the hotel that served lunch passed the usual 2:30. I searched Yelp and saw this place. Looked non touristy. We got what we were looking for. Authentic French bistro food without the pretense. Warm and cozy. Looked like it did 40 years ago....I think. In any event the food was fantastic. I had the duck confit. EVERYTHING you want in this dish. Crispy skin and dark moist succulent meat. Served with oven roasted/fried potatoes in duck fat, with a garlic something. Decadent! My wife had the saddle of rabbit with mustard sauce. Very good but they served it with spaghetti that was made last week. Why not rice? Our guest had a chicken salad. Being Americans we all thought it was going to be something else. It was just marvelous. Crispy lardons. Cooked chicken. I don't know it was just really good. Good find. read more
