    Came here on a random week day as we were walking around the museums and the churches. I've never been here before north of this side of town. We were quickly seated and luckily they have an indoor and outdoor area. The outdoor areas nicely heat it as well. Menu is pretty straightforward. Classic and traditional French dishes. Service was pretty quick as well. Prices are very fair considering the great location and the portions are also very decent. Services pretty good but they seem a little short staffed. There seem to be a good mix of tourist as well as actual French locals. I will definitely come back and try out more items on the menu.

    Duck a l'orange, café allongé, & bread
    Rick G.

    Stopped in for a quick bite and pick me up after checking into my hotel nearby in the place St. Michel neighborhood. Grabbed a table outside, which was perfect for relaxing and people-watching. My server was friendly and happy to let me practice my Français. I had a café allongé (long pull espresso) and the duck a l'orange. Both were tasty - I would be happy to come back.

    St Marcellin roti
    Ava K.

    While in the area, we stopped in for lunch. We ordered the St Marcellin roti, soupe a l'oignon, lutece burger, and a bottle of wine. Everything was good. Service was ok. We sat by the window and people watched as we ate. Prices were decent, especially since it's in a high traffic tourist area.

    Omelette super mixte with French salad (de rigeur!)
    Cynthia B.

    We stopped here for a hot breakfast, and had an excellent omelette super mixte; with coffees and croissant. Everything was quite good, and service was just fine.

    Aperol spritz

    I stopped by for a drink and an appetizer after having dinner nearby. I wish I had dinner here! The best Aperol Spritz I ever had and a selection of fresh meat and cheese from the charcuterie board. The waitress was full of energy and charm and really made me feel welcome by speaking English! I will Come back for a full meal.

    French onion soup

    We had just finished a night river cruise and wanted to grab a bite somewhere before getting on the metro to go back to our hotel, we looked at a few places but they looked too "touristy". I won't lie this place is "touristy" as well but not in a bad way, in a way that makes sure tourists are comfortable but also gives you a taste of French culture, there is plenty of seating on the main level and on the bottom level, there is outside seating also. The staff was very nice and efficient. We had some good wine for a good price, we both ordered the French onion soup which was great! My wife said "I can never order this again in the US!" For entee I had the chicken with mashed potatoes served with a cream sauce with pesto around the edges, my wife had the duck leg confit with potatoes and salad, we enjoyed all our food here and would come back!

    Duck confit

    This place is ok. I don't know real French food so I'm not a good judge. But it's edible and price is even cheaper than Southern California. Service is good. But it took a long time for my food to come out.

    Not sure why they spotlighted the bear, but it was cute I guess.

    This was my first pit stop for food during an excursion in Paris. If the rest of the week goes as good as this, it will be enjoyable indeed! My libation was chaffouina which has some Jack Daniels and St Germain. While it was a small drink, it was delightful. My auvergnate salad was pretty good. Definitely different than salads I am used to, with 2 slices of cheese, slices of meet, fried potatoes and allegedly a fried egg. I say allegedly because the egg white was fried but not the yolk. While I typically dislike runny eggs I ate it. Why? Because when in Rome...I mean France... I finished it off with a delicious strawberry cream cake. It was fantastic! The service was good. A bit slow but still good. I may just make a return visit before I depart.

    The special beef with some sort of sauce.  The sauce was blander than the rice the beef came on.
    Cory B.

    The food was edible, but not good. The service was slow (even by European standards). The only thing the kids liked was the ice cream they got at the end. My "special" was lacking taste and flavor. My wife's cheese plate was lacking any sort of quality cheese. Basically, I wouldn't recommend anyone go here until it closes and is replaced by a Starbucks or a McDonald's.

    This spot is located in Saint Michel-Notre Dame at line 4 of the Metro. My girlfriend frequently comes here so I was rather curious. We wanted to sit outside but it started to rain so we quickly scooted inside. Service was on the slow side at the beginning but there was alot of people, so it was expected. We both opted to switch things up and order different items. I ordered the steak tartare w/ fries, a salad, plus a beer. She ordered the veggie burger with the same sides. My beer came pretty quick after ordering. If you enjoy light crisp cold beer from the tap as I do, I highly recommend 1664 blanc. This is usually a mediocre beer that you can find for 1€ in a can but a completely different experience on tap. Sadly, my dish was pretty disappointing. It seemed like it was just slathered up in mayo and missing the other essential ingredients necessary for a great tartare. What I thought at first were truffle bits were actually more like petrified potato chips under your couch. I had to add extra salt and tabasco to flavor it up a bit. The fries were fait-maison or home made so that was a plus. My gf said her falafel patty was really soggy and could've been crispier. I'd really wish to think this time was just an anomaly. She said the food is usually pretty good and just experimented this time around. They had a special that included a starter, main course, and dessert for 20€ which I regret not trying. I definitely want to come back and see what that's about. Something else that happened that the restaurant nor myself can control was a rude customer - who happened to be American lol. My fellow Americans, if you come here please try to learn a little bit of French? Hello and thank you go a long ways here. Also, if you're going to complain about prices, maybe you shouldn't be traveling to Europe. Have you ever been to a supermarket here or know what TVA is? After your trip, I hope you have a better understanding of how lucky you are to live in the USA. Bon Appétit!

    This restaurant had everything to offer. The music, service, and the quality of the food was wonderful. I was able to enjoy desert which was a lemon meringue slice which had a sour and sweet taste.

Unfortunately, that was my experience in Paris. Now, I will say, it's still Brewdog--the beers are great and so were the staff. But there were literally only two vegan options on the menu, and I went there on their meatless Monday! On that day, it was BOGO for plant-based fare, but with there being so few options my partner and just ended up getting two pizzas. To add fuel the flame, the pizza (the Rocket pizza) was heavy on mushrooms, which aren't really my thing. So 5 stars for the beer, but 3 stars for the food (which in our case that night, was important.)

Contemporary music playing overhead. We ordered pizza and beer. Pizza crust is addictive, toppings were flavorful. I had their stout, and it was smooooooth! Wife got a guest beer, a hazy IPA that was a little different in a good way. A great experience! About stars: 3 stars means really good. 4 stars is more for fine dining, generally pricier venues. If I get 4 star food at a brew pub, they'll get 4 stars. But 3 stars here is excellent.

He can talk them all up and help you cross-tabulate your preferred selections to others that might be recommended if you like them. French, British, and US are most heavily represented, but they aren't all from those locales. The various shelves have fresh offerings reaching further afield in countries, and representing widely in styles, as well. I walked out with Mikeller Coffee IPA, Belzebuth (13% ABV), Lindemans Peche (2.5% confection for my wife's enjoyment), Sainte Cru White Rabbit (French beer originating 'in a garage'), and Ernestine IPA (a grapefruit-y, hoppy centerpiece from Paris' only city brewery, Brasserie de la Goutte D'Or) on my first trip.

I knew I wouldn't be able to make it until my usual bedtime of midnight-ish (that's a liberal ish), but 9pm seemed reasonable.

However, the diminutive size was far less intimidating than walking into a bar filled with loud, jovial men and only one stool to be snagged. I never took my eyes off it while waiting for my perfectly-poured Guinness and stealthily made my way over before pouncing: all mine!

A couple of Guinness later, I was sufficiently spent. And this cool unassuming dive, like its friendly patrons, won't be soon forgotten. PS: There's nothing quiet about the Quiet Man ;)
