    My friend and I had a lunch here in fall 2019. We picked this spot randomly while walk around the street but ended up enjoying the foods here. They provide a bread basket for free. We ordered Duck confit, snails and Foie gras。。All tasted good! The lady at this restaurant was super nice and friendly she kept sending foods to us. Because we don't speak French we only can express our thankful in English. They have the English menu which was really helpful. She has a super nice and friendly grandma vibes. Another restaurant across the street is a popular spot but not worth the hype to wait for more than 2 hours. I highly recommend to save you time and eat here...!

    We tried the fish, the osso buco and a steak. The fish was bland and had many bones in it even if the waitress told us all the bones are removed. The steak was good and the fries were delicious. The osso buco was tender and came with pasta. As a dessert we took a chausson aux pommes and the crème brûlée. The chausson is was good and flaky, but the crème brûlée wasn't impressive. The sugar on top didn't melt enough and it felt like eating sprinkles instead of a nice hard crust. The staff was friendly and nice. The place is small but there's a second floor. It seemed clean although the basement and the washrooms were very old and spooky.

    Wow, I'm so glad we skipped the line from the other popular restaurant across the street to this cozy place run by a very friendly, warm, and talkative woman. She honesty made the experience so much better, I felt so welcomed! I had the escargot and was just in love with the buttery sauce. The escargot came hot and had a side of bread to soak in the bits of pesto-y flavor. I also just went for the splurge and had the duck breast (medium, as she recommended) with a side of potatoes gratin. The fig sauce worked so so well with the duck. It wasn't like a strong jam flavor but a very creamy, quiet fig flavor to top a well cooked duck. The potatoes gratin were obviously very good. I would recommend this place to my friends!

    This was once considered The Most Beautiful Bar (Bistro) in Paris. It was, but it has recently been renovated, taking away the gorgeous old Zinc Bar and cute little wooden booths. It still retains most of its famous old tile murals of the old Les Halles Market. Worth checking out.

    We stopped by this restaurant today because the restaurant across the street was too busy. It was a happy accident. The servers and staff basically only speak French but that's ok they were attentive and pleasant and wow what a great place. The food was prepared perfectly and served buy really nice people. We will be back tomorrow for dinner or lunch.

    Like many, my table of six was waiting to go to the the super popular Le Comptoir de la Gastronomie across the street without a reservation. There were 13 people ahead of us in line so we looked across the street and found this cute little place. The service was warm and friendly and the food was great too! Most of the menu is meat based. Our table ordered the escargot, rack of lamb, rib steak and rump steak. The escargot was average but all the meat was cooked to perfection. The creme brûlée and creme caramel were delicious as well. It was also quite fun to see how the line across the street was progressing (it would have taken us 75 minutes to get a table).

    A charming, wonderful little family restaurant with local charm (tile murals on the walls from the 1800's). We don't speak French, so we just pointed to things on the menu sign having no idea what we were ordering. It didn't matter, it was all good. My husband had a soup with egg in it that was delicious. I used some bread to sop it up, to my husband's dismay. We both had the fish main course and, again, it was so good! My creme brûlée was excellent. The service was friendly and it was fun to watch the bartender/owner (?) taking pictures for customers and singing French songs with another customer. We will be back tomorrow.

    Came here a year ago when I could not get in the the place across the street and was so happy with the meal that the experience stuck in my mind. Good classic Parisien bistro fare, just the basics done well. Confit, rump-steak, potatoes dauphinois, tarte au pommes...you cannot miss. Two people one appetizer, two plats, two deserts and a bottle of Rhône €78,00 .

    Food is very well prepared, excellent flavor with huge portion. The host of the restaurant is an extra nice and upbeat lady. She doesn't speak much English but tried to explain everything. We had a great time here. The street has nice view too.

    Decent food, but more expensive and less delicious than everywhere else I've eaten in Paris. Not much atmosphere. I wouldn't return.

    I have mixed feelings about Bistro des Augustins. On the one hand, it provided me some of the most…read morecomforting and delicious food that I enjoyed in Paris. On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

    THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.

    So many delicious escargot at au doux raisin that you won't regret going here…read more We ordered escargot, bone marrow, and beef bourguignon. The escargot. Wow. It's their specialty and it sure is special. I've never had escargot with this kind of flavor coming from the snail itself. It's a must have. The bone marrow was good too, nothing too memorable, definitely not like the escargot. The beef bourguignon was so good too. Tender beef and such good flavors. This was the perfect way to end our Paris trip.

We ordered a few dishes to share: - escargot was so flavourful, it blew our minds. This was the best snails I have ever hard. - foie gras - delicious!! - bone marrow - unlike other places, they didn't add a lot of sauces and etc. onto the bone marrow, but the taste was so fresh and delicious that you didn't even need anything else. Amazing. - beef stew - this was very tasty but we couldn't finish it so we take it to go. - sausage - probably my least favourite but still very favourful. Our server Olya was amazing, always checking up on us and making sure we were happy! She gave us a lot of recommendations which turned out to be amazing. She speaks French, English and Russian, which is a great asset which made communication and ordering very easy. Overall, this restaurant is a must visit for anyone who is looking for delicious homey meal.

We passed by a few other cafes but this one caught our eye because of how it's right by the corner with a view of the gardens. We checked in with the server and we chose to sit outside. I ordered the duck breast - very tender and flavorful, sauce was divine and the aligot was soooo creamy! I also posted what my friends ordered. We had wine too with our food. They have a charger by the bar so while we are people watching and eating I had time to charge my phone. While we were seated outside it began to rain so we asked for a table inside so we can have desserts. The restaurant was full but they let us wait by the bar.
