After 28 hours of traveling we wanted a bite to eat. On a cool April evening, it seemed like French Onion Soup was a good idea. Le Danton did not disappoint. Bustling spot with spirited conversations en francais. Only comment was we ordered a mushroom omelet and were full after the soup. There were no takeaway boxes . It too was delicious as we waddled back to our hotel to catch up on sleep. read more

Le Danton - Delicious French onion soup on a cool April evening. - Cafes Near Me - Paris, 75

This was my favorite place to stop in Saint Germain for breakfast and a late night glass of wine and a dessert. It's directly across from the metro and if you can get a table by the window you will be in heaven. Great people watching while you take in everything Paris has to offer. Service was excellent. read more

5 stars for the amazing service. He served the entire place alone and was on top of it all! Onion soup is incredible. Wine is perfect. read more

I stopped in on a random Friday after taking the metro up from Gentilly to look for dinner. Nothing on the menu caught my eye and I saw the negative reviews about the food quality, so I kept it simple with some cheese and wine. My experience was pleasant, although the service wasn't as attentive as I'd experienced at other Paris restaurants. The ambiance was alright, though the tables were very close together. If it was a busier night I would see that proximity being very uncomfortable. Overall, a decent place to go for a carafe of wine and cheese plate at a reasonable price in Saint Germain. read more

This place is near the Danton statue from the French revolution at the Saint Germain neighbourhood. The saga continues with my tirade about the lack of seasoning in French cuisine. Service was really good. I had the steak haché with egg on top. It was cooked perfectly to medium but once again there seems to be a continued pattern of salt less meats in this country. We also had a cheese plate, which is really hard to mess up. read more

Looking for a last second spot to grab dinner we came across Le Danton. Most places were full and had wait times and we were really hungry so we stopped in. You could see the entire dining area from the street since the entire wall is made of glass. It was 20:00 and somehow was only at half capacity. Ordered a draft beer and it came in a dirty glass. There was some sort or grime around the rim of the glass. Ordered a burger and potatoes with the patty cooked medium. The burger came out well done. The potatoes lacked any sort of flavor and I had to toss salt on them. Honestly if this place was in the US I may have given it 3/5 stars but our dining experience all over Paris was magnificent. I would recommend that you avoid Le Danton unless you are really really hungry and have no place to go.. read more

Tried to charge us a 5 euro tip on a 30 euro bill, knowing we were tourists. The waiter said "do you want to tip? 5 euro is standard." We said no and I'm now sharing this everywhere I can so other tourists know to stay away. read more

I had a great lunch here last july! I ate an omelette, a baguette, some cheese, a salade and a slice of cake Close to Odéon metro station, but my piece of advice is to walk toward Jardin du Luxembourg after your dinner :-) PS You can withdraw money in the HSBC automatic teller machine, in front of the bistrot read more

Best breakfast in Paris. Nicest people and patient when tried out best to speak French. We always come here at least once when we visit Paris, no matter where we stay. Highly recommend read more

Our original lunch plan fell through, we walked into this place without checking out the reviews, menu looked alright. We had the croque monsieur and a minced meat patty. All entrees come with potatoes and salad. The patty was tasteless, the croque was tasteless and severely burned at the bottom. Service was very quick and nice. read more

Decor and ambiance classical French bistro ( to this American). A little tight for seating but normal by local standards. On this Monday afternoon, we did well to get in early. This is a favorite of locals judging by the crazy long line that has formed while I write this. (They are not tourists for the most part.) Great spot for watching people as well as a lunch or dinner. For my lunch, the ribeye was great. 14 € and about 1cm+ thick, well marbled with fat, and prepared as requested - medium rare. The potatoes done very well. For my wife, the onion soup topped with cheese and bread presented well but was perhaps not made from scratch on site. Her 10€ ham and cheese sandwich presented well -topped with melted mozzarella cheese. As ham sandwiches go, quite nice. Service was fine. Especially given the rush hour crowd. Recommended if you get in early. Otherwise, watch wantonly as those who have enjoy their meal... read more

Le Danton - Ham and Mozzarella cheese sandwich. - Cafes Near Me - Paris, 75

We went here the whole family, and sat down in the little cage in the back. We ordered drinks, and then ordered food a little later. My friend ordered the entricote, and I got the Paella. We got our food within five minutes, and that just rung bells in our heads that itd be bad. We werent wrong. My paella was flavourless, and the rice was overcooked. It all looked tossed on the plate too. The atmosphere is loud, and cars keep going past as the place is situated on the main road. Thanks for the read. read more

Very nice restaurant. Went there for breakfast the ambiance is very good. The price for the breakfast sandwiches are very reasonable. read more

Came by for breakfast on our way to the Odeon Metro station. Service: We were seated quickly and had a funny waiter who spoke some Franglish to us but was kind about us not understanding his incredibly fast speech. They were a bit busy so things were a tad slow coming and even waiting to pay the bill. Food: Croissants were basically the worst I have had in Paris. Not only were they not good, they were actively bad. The eggs I got were bland and lifeless. My girlfriend said her "mademoiselle" sandwhich was not bad. The coffee was plain Lavazaa. Orange juice was fine and fresh but the portion was very small. If you are looking to stop somewhere for a nice breakfast, this is not a place I would recommend. I can't speak for the quality of the bar or dinner menus. read more

An unpretentious little brasserie in one of the most god-awfully touristy neighborhoods I've ever walked through. Cheap prices. Small but tasty bavette aux échalotes in an excellent light sauce, edible green salad dressed with restraint, decent wines by the glass at guzzlabe rates. They get the fourth star for the potatoes they served with the steak. They weren't frites; they were slices of boiled new potato, pan-fried, logging-camp style. I've only rarely seen these in North American restaurants, and while I don't know if they're authentically France-French, my Québecois family has been eating potatoes done that way for years, and we know a thing or two about them. Danton's were better than mine. Hell, they were better than my mother's. I'd go back there just to eat those potatoes, if the neighborhood didn't give me such a bad case of the hives. read more

Great service and delicious food for a very reasonable price. We've ended there randomly for a dinner and we've been positively surprised. read more

Great place to unwind with a nice espresso & baguette and jams before taking the metro (Odeon). This is a great spot for people watching. I tried the mixed omelet with the salade and it was nice it really hit the spot. The coffee is right on. read more

My favorite brassarie during my time in Paris. Mostly due to the staff. I ordered the Onion soup with was great, but the gentlemen waiters were all extremely welcoming and kind. read more

Fast, fast, fast! If you're in a rush, or simply want to experience the daytime hustle and bustle, then this is the place to go. We were looking for a breakfast spot to sit and relax early on a weekday morning. Le Danton seemed to fit the bill...and it did, except for the relaxing part. Our breakfast was good. Nothing mind blowing, but everything was hot and fresh. I had an omelet with herbs and my husband had croque madame. Our server was efficient and it looked like he was always one step ahead of all his customers. I don't know how these servers do it, but they seem to read everyone's mind and know exactly what their customers want and when they want it. Either that or they are trying to rush people out--it could go either way. We came back a few days later for an espresso at the bar and I nearly got knocked over two different times. Everything is just on high speed here, so watch your back and keep it moving. read more

It was pretty good, considering I didn't really know what to order. It was busy but not packed, plus they had menus in English. I ordered a 2-item menu with a duck confit which was quite moist and well-balanced. Quite good. My wife ordered just an onion soup which was just okay. Dessert was some kind of cake that was not too memorable. Hence, I don't remember it. Service was quick and friendly, and they were very cordial to those of us (several parties) who didn't speak French. We sat next to a British gentleman who was having an omelette and also didn't speak French. They were very helpful and patient with him as well, so overall, a good rating for this place. read more

Food was pretty bad, not worth the money at all. Not a lot of space at the tables. The waiter was very curt. Definitely wouldn't recommend.

It was raining and most of the places in the area were crowded or not open without a reservation so we popped in here. The ambiance itself is lovely. A bit on the pricier side, but not overly so. The food was pretty bland. I ordered the duck confit special and it was so overcooked and dry that I did not eat it and just ate the side of frites. My boyfriend's steak was also overcooked and bland. Would only recommend this spot for a drink as it really is a quintessential cafe and nice inside. read more

Food was not good at all. Out of six dishes, one was good, one average, the rest were horrible. It's even hard to cut the steak (medium temperature) with a sharp knife, let alone biting it with ordinary human teeth. Service was average. Great location, but they really could do a better job with the food. read more

The service was great! The food was way below average. I sent back the Onion Soup because it was the absolute worst I've ever had. Soggy disgusting, flavorless, watery mess of a dish. The steak was a cheap piece of fat. It's only redeeming quality is the location. Oh and maybe this is French but they did not remove the soup from the bill. read more

We stopped here after finding out that our original choice had closed for good. We sat near the front windows and enjoyed people watching. It was a loud lunch time crowd, but the waiter spoke English and was helpful with gluten-free choices. The kids had omlettes,I had the Danton Club sandwich, and my wife had a small steak. All were quite good, but competition is fierce in this city of food and scarves. read more

Great spot for a breakfast before heading on the metro, as the metro entrance is just steps away. Friendly service, good coffee. This place is *packed* on the weekend for dinner. read more

Overall my food experience in Paris was disappointing. I think a big part of that is the lack of yelp reviews to help guide me. Anyways, this place was pretty me. I had a steak with onion gravy. The onion gravy was excellent. Unfortunately the steak was so tough that it was almost inedible. I had to chew and chew and chew just to break it down a little. My wife had a croque monsuier. According to her it did nothing to stand out. Unless you are rushed for time or money, do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere. read more

Whilst the initial service was good and good is average, we had a pair of sunglasses stolen from our table. There were only two waiters who visited our table which was in a corner, so no one else got close to us. We only noticed the pair went missing on our way out. Very disappointing. Don't visit this place. read more

Very nice waiters. They speak English. The best French onion soup (soupe a l'onion gratiné ) I've ever had (not too salty and just enough cheese!). The best hot chocolate ever including Angelina's! read more

This is our family's morning place during our annual reunion in Paris. They actually still do a real café creme and not a faux cappuccino. Lovely original seating and classic menu. The view is wonderful and it is also a good choice if one if peckish late at night. Many of the restaurants are either ghastly or have poor price/quality rapport. read more

Came in here on a whim as the place looked pretty cool inside. Weren't planning on an extravagant meal. Went with some house wine, a baguette sandwich with meat and pickles, was simple and good, and a banana split, French style which was also good. Everything tasted fresh and the service was good. read more

Great spot for breakfast. The croissant are among the best in Paris as well as the chocolate and espresso. The petit déjeuner arrived in a minute. The service is fast and courteous. A wonderful spot in the heart of St. Germaine du Prés read more

Service was good even though we were there during the lunch rush. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. I ordered the Croque-Mademoiselle. OMG it was sooooooooo yummy! Now that I am back in the states I want to try and re-create this dish. The dish certainly satisfied my craving that morning. :o) read more

After full day of travels from the states, perfect 1st meal in Paris at 9pm...yummy omlette great Big beer and wine..busy not crowded..
