We are staying at Hotel Elyse across the street and wanted a quick dinner after a long day of site seeing. The menu posted online looked varied enough, so..... The have streamlined their menu; about 1/2 the choices. But kept the best options. Hubby had a chopped steak with fries & salad. Steak was generous; cooked perfectly with choice of bearnaise sauce & Dijon mustard. He said the fries were the best he's ever had(and he's a junk food junkie). Salad was a small but adequate pile of Bibb lettuce with vinaigrette dressing, plus soft French bread. I ordered the chicken salad- !! It was a bid bowl of Bibb lettuce, crisp green beans, julienne carrots, tomato and both crispy fried chicken and thin sliced grilled chicken. Shaved Parmesan and from scratch croutons with Mild vinaigrette dressing. Crisp, textured and flavorful. I also had a glass of their Chablis as recommended- delightful pairing!!! Fun side point- they were playing 70s American Rock!!! Cute little bistro, good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff.

Gourmande - tomato, potato, duck gizzard, smoked duck breast, foie gras

Good place to get a croissant and espresso. Friendly service. Close to the Notre Dame Cathedral…read moreand Saint Chappell.

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.

This place made me love escargot! I had never tried it before, but knew I had to at some point on…read moremy trip to Paris. 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!

This place was packed during lunch rush, and we appreciated the staff keeping us informed as we…read morewaited for our table for 4 adults and 2 kids. I love how lunch is not rushed here. We were able to enjoy the food and each other. I ordered the special shrimp curry dish. The portion was just right, and paired well with a white wine. They make the most of the space here. It is a bustling restaurant for locals and visitors to enjoy.
