    Yay! Love this place especially the service which was super friendly to English speakers. Not air conditioned if you go on a hot day! The eggplant is a must have I was obsessed!

    Ravioli, so yummy and cooked to perfection!

    Had the privilege of eating at this little gem of a restaurant on a recent trip to Paris for the marathon and can I just say..... The food here is Amazing!! Had the veal ravioli to start, which was so yummy! Little pillows of pasta stuffed with wonderfully seasoned veal and topped with a delicious sauce! For the main, we had the 5 hr slow cooked pork with the potato mouse/cream on spinach of some sort.... TO DIE FOR! I can honestly say this was some of the best pork I've had in my life!!! So tender and juicy and melt in your mouth good!! For dessert was the grand marnier soufflé..... OMG!! This little piece of heaven was to die for! It was the perfect soufflé and the sauce was out of this world! I'm so glad we had the opportunity to eat here while in Paris!!

    Cucumbers after gazpacho joined the party

    Okay..we had a couple of people recommend this place so we checked it out after snagging a reservation the night before. Wow..what a great local spot! It's a tiny location that filled up fast but the waiters were totally accommodating and didn't rush us at all. And the food..mmmm! They do a 3 course menu so we each did that and it was well worth it. The plates came out looking like art work, I almost felt bad digging in..but am so glad I did..haha! We had: - veggie raviolis (starter) - raw fish terrine (starter) - pork belly and bun (starter) - gazpacho cucumber (starter) - duck breast (for 2) w/ beetroot puree (entree) - fish of the day (cod) (entree) - "slow cooked/braised" beef brisket (entree) - "braised" chicken legs w/ olives (entree)..this dish was so flavorful! - strawberry sorbet (dessert) - chocolate ganache (dessert) - Grand Marnier soufflé w/ salted caramel sauce (dessert)..this was OMG off the charts!! Now that I think about it..we almost had everything on the menu for the day..haha! And everything tasted amazing..literally so good. This place was incredible. I'm not sure how the locals do it because if I lived here..my diet would be shattered since I would be eating here so much..ha! I highly recommend this place for anyone making a trip to Paris..or just for anyone in general..

    Rabbit ravioli

    This restaurant is crazy good! We found it on Yelp--highly rated. Martin was our server--he was very kind and attentive. His English was superb! He helped my husband select the wine--white burgundy St. Aubin. Delicious and at a great price. We both enjoyed our appetizers (sword fish for me and rabbit ravioli for him). The main dishes were equally as delicious. My husband had quail and I had skate. We were offered desert, but had to decline as we were satiated after such a great meal. Despite that, chef sent out a rum soufflé with caramel sauce. It was amazing!!!!! We hope to return this trip. Martin told us reservations for dinner are needed 7-10 days in advance. Well worth getting your act together for a world class dining experience!

    Hands down the best restaurant we visited. All three courses were amazing and the waiter's wine recommendations were perfect.

    Arrived on a hot summer lunch at Le Pantruche and what a fantastic dining experience. The value for money is stunning. 2 courses for just 19€. The dishes are rotating. You choose between either an entree or a dessert - the main course is fixed. Everything tasted amazing and the attention to detail was kept to a maximum.

    I had high expectations for Le Pantruche given the rave reviews, but I was underwhelmed in the end. My priority for going was for the soufflé (with a salted caramel syrup) which was good but not one I'm still craving weeks or months later. (Unlike ones I've had elsewhere!) To me, 5 stars signifies 'cannot wait to go back, I NEED that..' Hence the 4 stars. The meal was very pleasant, classic bistro style, 25€ for entree/plat du jour or plat du jour/dessert. (Lunch offer). We deserved a few days in advance which was no problem. Wine by the glass; there is a small selection and reasonably priced (Chablis 7€) as you don't want a bottle at lunch! I would like to see a few more by the glass options. Overall it was a nice unpretentious lunch, friendly service and not too long of a wait between courses. I think the atmosphere at night might be nicer as they have a bistro 'boudoir' type deco going!

    Starter: octopus salad and ham, ricotta and spinach raviolis
    Shona C.

    Good food, good wine and good service! We got the last table outside without a reservation, so I recommend booking to anyone else as you might not be as lucky. We had octopus salad with feta cheese and ham, ricotta and spinach raviolis to start which we're both divine. For our main we had a steak with sweet potato mash and magret de canard, both seasoned perfectly. We finished off with their famous soufflé and caramel beurre salé. Overall a great spot and if the prices weren't so high we would go back regularly!

    Had the most extraordinary dinner at Le Pantruche on my last night in Paris. The prixe fixe menu is the way to go. While everyone raves about the oyster tartare, I opted for the foie gras appetizer. It was the size of a Samsung Galaxy and came with the most irresistible, velvety, slightly soy-ish tasting sauce. I was bereft when I finished. The entree were the tenderest, sweetest, perfectly cooked scallops I've had in ages. Again, a light sauce accompanied and some exquisite root vegetables. The piece de resistance was - of course - a grand marnier souffle. The table next to us ordered four - one for each guest. It is so good, even the nicest dinner companion will not want to share. Run to Le Pantruche the minute you make reservations to visit Paris.

    Fois gras & poached egg..so amazing!

I started with the free-range eggs with mayo, and my wife started with the leeks with vinaigrette. The eggs were delicious, but the leeks may have been the best preparation I've ever had in my life. For our main courses, she had the egg muffin, and I had the sausage and mash. Our meal was superb. Whoever is in the kitchen has clearly learned the art of French cuisine well. Service was fantastic, the people-watching (we ate al fresco) was fantastic, and I simply couldn't think of a way to make this a better meal.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

There were also tables outside but not many. The ambiance is good. The music is a bit loud for the amount of people that were dining in. The atmosphere is quite romantic with the dimmed lighting and the candles but the music does not set that tone whatsoever. Props to our server for bringing us extra plates when we mentioned we would be sharing the appetizer. Beef bourguignon with mashed potatoes (5/5): the portions were worth it for the price. They were quite sizable. When I was cutting, I could tell the beef was so tender. The meat was marinated very well and deep into it. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, La Cave Gourmande is a small cute restaurant for some delicious french food. I highly recommend their beef bourguignon.

    This place is a gem!…read more We were in Paris for two weeks and this place was so good, we had it twice. Located in Montmartre, this cozy 'cave' sits upon a busy street. As an American, you must get used to the slow pace that most restaurants run here. But, I've taken a sincere liking to slowing down and enjoying my food rather than eating 'on the go.' Order the beef bourguignon. It is amazing. Comes in a steaming pot with buttery mashed potatoes. Also tried the foie gras, escargots, and frog legs. Haven't had a dish that wasn't up to par. This place deserves more attention. A must visit if you're in the area.

Making a reservation isn't hard but you do need to email them and there's no online booking system. You also have to confirm again 1-2 days before. I understand they are small with a limited number of tables so that's fair and it seemed like everyone showed up even though they don't require a deposit. On a Friday night, it didn't appear there was much chance or walking in although there were like 2 open seats at what would have been a shared table. The menu is small and includes some typical French starters, steaks, 3 non steak entrees, cheeses, and dessert. All steaks come with potatoes, 3 sauces, salad. Service was a highlight. The waiter was personable and funny, had solid recommendations, and made sure leftovers were taken home. Also had a solid wine recommendation after asking some questions. They probably get a lot of people who don't speak French and they had no problem speaking English. The food- ordered a ribeye medium rare. The steak was so so charred on the outside and it almost ruined the whole thing. I really wish they would have charred it way less especially when it was ordered medium rare. There is seared and then there is burnt; this was sadly the latter. The steak itself was fine, honestly nowhere near the best meat I have had but the price is quite reasonable for how much you get. I would say the steak was maybe 6/10 for me, largely due to the cooking. The fries were phenomenal. Definitely a highlight and really tasty and with a great texture. Salad was good, pretty typical. I wanted to like the sauces more but found them just okay. The best by far for me was the blue cheese sauce but even this one I thought the flavors could have popped a little more. Atmosphere was fun, there were a few bigger groups (6-8 which is the biggest they accommodate) but it never got unreasonably loud. Overall I wanted to love it but was a bit disappointed even though the service and fries were both great.

I came here with a group of eight for a friend's birthday. Food: Of the things we ordered, I tried the: - Frog Legs - Puff pastry with snails - Duck breast - Ribeye steak - Chicken stuffed with foie gras - Creme brulee - Chocolate delight Everything was unbelievably good. The food was clearly homemade with care, and prepared with fresh ingredients. One thing I appreciated was that the food was not oily or greasy. I dream of the duck, frog legs, creme brulee, and chocolate delight - this was the best duck and creme brulee I have ever had. The duck and steak came with AMAZING potato wedges, which may be my favorite part of the meal. Service: this restaurant is a small family restaurant, owned by a father who cooks. His daughter managed the front of the restaurant when I dined here. She was incredibly friendly, spoke both French and English, and provided wonderful recommendations. Environment: This restaurant is exactly what I think of as a cozy Parisian cafe. It is located in a corner next to a long flight of stairs, and has approximately 10 tables. The restaurant is decorated so that is feels inviting and warm, but not small.

We were so looking forward to the frog legs, onion soup and other delicacies pictured. We got there and the sign was just as it was with the same name -- Au Pied du Sacre Coeur. We should've noticed something was wrong when no one was inside. When the waiter (lone person working along with cook) gave us the menu, my wife and I stared at each other completely confused. The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup. He looked confused and just said no. Out of respect for him, we just ordered the charcuterie, which featured stale bread and a few slices of meat taken from my local grocery store in the U.S. Also -- they claimed to not accept any international credit cards. WHAT HAPPENED? Are all these reviews fake? Most likely, they underwent new ownership right when we visited. But new visitors -- please beware. Do not trust any of the reviews before mine. If I was mistaken, please post photos and just tell me that I was part of some elaborate joke to ruin a lunch for me and my wife.
