En Fin de Compte: Very good value near Notre Dame. We sat on a warm but slightly rainy evening, near The Cathedral. Very comfortable setting inside and out down to the soft, tinkly piano par background music adding that right touch of smoky elegance set against the soft patter of rain while sitting protected. Food, very ample portions and delicious--to the eyes and palette. Service is quick, and efficient--professional. read more

We were looking for a place to have an early dinner. We had tried to get into Notre Dame but they were closed for the day. We began to wander about and just about 2 blocks away, we stumbled onto Le Parvis. It was fairly empty inside and they have outdoor seating so we sat down only after a friend saw that the special that day was barbecued ribs with potatoes and a salad. We put in our drink order, my friends opted for bottled water and I got an Aperol Spritz. We then looked over the menu in English and the waiter spoke English which was helpful. One friend got the barbecue special, the other the chicken fricassee and I got the croque monsieur. It was nice dining outside, it was a nice day, the waiter was accommodating and there was no rush and we were able to eat and talk leisurely with no pressure to leave. I would recommend and return for lunch or dinner especially if you interested in seeing the newly opened and renovated Notre Dame. read more

It was a blustery day in February. We had just spent several hours at the Cathedral of Notre Dame not too far away and it was time for a late lunch. We stumbled upon Le Parvis.... It was excellent. read more

Dined here after a boat tour on the Seine. It was quite late and there weren't a ton of options, so I booked a last minute reservation here. Unfortunately, the escargot was just alright. I expected more flavor, and I have to say I've had better even on an American cruise ship. Additionally, I asked for a rare steak and it ended up being closer to well-done with almost no pink. The fries and the sauce they came with were quite delicious, however. This was my only meal of the day and it was at around 9pm, so I also believe I enjoyed this meal more than I would otherwise. My review may be a bit inflated because of this. Le Parvis is your average Parisian cafe, with a charming ambiance. Overall, an alright place to dine if you're pressed for options. read more

Highly recommend for authentic French food and ambience. Prices were a little steep but most places nearer the landmarks will be, naturally. Host was very amicable too. read more

Despite the poor reviews I decided to give this place a chance since Google reviews tells a much more positive story. I was pleasantly surprised. It is located very close to the Seine and Notre Dame. I had the French Onion Soup, Caesar salad with chicken, and crème brûlée to finish. The French onion soup was delicious with loads of cheese just as it should. The Caesar salad was delicious and topped with a freshly fried breaded chicken breast. The crème brûlée was a rich end to a delicious lunch. Rives was my server and very friendly and eager to please. read more

This cozy little restaurant was found right outside of Notre Dame. The service was excellent and the serve was very nice. She gave her opinions on options we were considering for lunch and she also spoke English very well. I order the beef marinated in red wine served with potatoes, while my friend ordered the salmon plate in a creamy white sauce. The beef was cooked very tinder and was served in a pretty big portion size. The red wine taste was very strong. The food was pretty good, but could have been seasoned a tad bit more. In general we had a great experience. read more

It rained every 2 hours in Paris!!!! Ducked in here for coffee and warmth. Staff heavenly.

We had lunch here while exploring Ile de la Cite. My crepe was tasty and the sidewalk environment was nice. Our waiter took good care of us and overall we had an enjoyable lunch before continuing on to Notre Dame. read more

Awful. If I could rate this restaurant a zero I would. The service was awful and the waiter was abrupt and slow. I was told that they did not have a kids menu, however I read that other people were offered half portions. I ordered steak well done and it came rare enough I had to ask if they could cook it more. I hate to send back food. The steak had been drenched in gravy and when it was returned I thought I had a new steak as there was not a bit of gravy. I asked the "Manager" for gravy politely. He sneered at me and stated LOUDLY and rudely that he did not understand, he did not know what I wanted and he did not speak English. He proceeded to loudly flirt with a table of young girls 3 tiny tables over, in English. As I started eating my steak I noticed it was the same steak I had before that had been drenched in gravy. I have no idea how they removed all traces of gravy other than to rinse it in something. I was very sick the next day. Unfortunately I can not prove of course it was this restaurant, but I sure do think so. I would NEVER recommend this restaurant, the food and service, and the horrid Manager are awful. We were a quiet, polite set of tourists stopping at this restaurant who did not deserve the treatment received. I don't ever review restaurants and was so offended and bothered by our experience I took the time to make sure and share it with others. There are so many other restaurants around take the time to visit one where you wont be treated in this fashion. Additionally, if the Manager and servers hate tourists so much perhaps they should find another job. The only positive was the location. read more

First night in Paris and was famished.. wonderfuly kind service and even more delicious food!! Had beef bourguignon and it was to die for. We also got the croque monsieur and it was also amazing!! read more

Because we were in France, the girls and I decided that we just had to have crepes. After an exhausting walk to Notre Dame, we needed a place to sit and some sugar. Le Parvis delivered on both accounts. We all got the Notre Dame Special crepe. It was two crepes with the richest chocolate I have ever tasted, creamy vanilla ice cream, and homemade whipped cream. It was marvelous and exactly what I needed to get my blood sugar up again. The service was great and the location good as well, this café is right down the street from Notre Dame. The entire time we were eating there was a security guard armed with a machine gun, so I felt very safe while eating my crepe. Although there are a billion creperies in Paris, I liked this one and would come back to it in a heartbeat. read more

A server body-blocked me from going outside and said I had to pay for using the bathroom. He followed me to where I was sitting and stood hovering as I took out a euro coin from my bag. He was aggressive physically and verbally; made me feel incredibly singled out and unsafe in a public space. This was completely unacceptable. What made him think what he did was okay, I can't imagine. Racism? Bottom line, avoid this place. read more

Okay cafe in a pinch, but not worth going out of your way for. We stopped in to kill some time after visiting Notre Dame, and while it worked, we could have done better. Service was spotty, and it took us a while to get the check, but still within European norms. Coffee and crepes were fine, but unremarkable. read more

This restaurant is near the Notre Dame. Though the food was not exceptional, the service was good so it added to the positive experience. We ordered the escargots, onion soup, foie gras and initially the entrecote but our server suggested we order the house special rib eye. Good thing we listened to him and did so because the dish turned out to be satisfying with more sides. The onion soup was okay, I've tasted better. Kudos to the server because he provided great service and was charming! Beside the restaurant is a place to get spectacular pastries which we did :) read more

We went to this restaurant on two different occasions while in Paris, and both times the food quality was good and the atmosphere was very casual . Escargot - had it once before in the USA, and this one was much, much, much better. Served in the shell smothered with garlic and butter. Steak and fries - had better, but can't complain too much. The steak was thin - typical for Europe, and I've had better quality. Pastries w/vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Excellent, excellent, excellent. For the price and location that close to Notre Dame, I'd recommend. If you want something nicer (food wise) but a little more expensive without any outside / open air seating, go around the corner to La Gazette de Bougnat. read more

everything was good the owner is smily and he recommended some good food and wine. By the way the restaurant was near to the Cathedral of Notre Dame so there's a lot of people in the environment the vibe was awesome read more

The service here made me want to leave immediately; I felt like I was an inconvenience. They did not treat me kindly and for this reason I would warn others to stay away! Especially non-Parisians. read more

DONT GO THERE!!! Rude staff, over priced tourist trap. Rude staff used rude hand gestures to ask us to sit outside (why dont you just ask us to!), and tries to start a fight afterwards. Would give minus ratings if i could. Never seen someone this rude in paris read more

La Parvis is a typical French cafe on Ile de la Cite with a shaded outdoor patio. Definitely a great place to grab a beer or glass of wine and people watch. The food was fairly mediocre, albeit well-presented. I ordered the escargot, which came with six large mollusks and the associated tools. The garlicky green sauce was pretty tasty and the deep flavor of the rubbery critters came through; you can find better escargot elsewhere though. The savory crepe I had afterwards was decent, but didn't capture my attention fully. It came stuffed with ham, cheese, and veggies, with a fried egg on top. Personally, I would drop by Le Parvis to chill with a drink, not necessarily to shell out $20+ for average food. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! This is a horrible tourist trap! We ordered croque monsieur. This meal was so very horrible I can't even describe! Stale bread, a cheap piece of ham and cheese. We told them it was no good and they started yelling at us. We ended up having to pay for our meal even though it was not edible! Do not eat here! read more

Please don't go here. For your own good. And especially don't order any type of burgers or chips, or coffee. Terrible food. Average service. Not worth the price. read more

After Notre Dame it began to rain and we were really hungry. We were looking for a cafe with indoor seating and came across Le Parvis. We didn't want to just eat crepe or anything light. We decided to eat dinner here and weren't disappointed. read more

I was in Paris with my daughters choir and had an hour while they rehearsed to get some lunch. I had the confit de canard and was not disappointed. Excellent, tender duck that was very good along with a salad and potatoes. The service was excellent and friendly and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a tasty lunch without paying through the nose near Notre Dame. read more

Horrible service. The waiter was too busy flirting with a customer and completely forgot our drink order. Im sure you will get better service elsewhere read more

The food was delicious (escargo, wine and crepes), the waiter was bizarre. He up and left when we were ordering because he saw a little girl he knew. It was cute and a bit too funny to get upset about it. He also ran off at one point looking for someone who had dropped their receipt. read more

Chicken was overpriced and over cooked. Won't be back. My first trip to Paris and all the food has been wonderful. Not this place.

We stopped in after touring Notre Dame Cathedral. This place is an easy two to three minute walk from Notre Dame. The atmosphere was nice, the service was fine, but the crepes were okay...we had better crepes from street vendors. Prices were a little higher than we experienced elsewhere (probably due to its proximity to Notre Dame). read more

We had dinner this evening at this very nice small bistro. The plat de charcuterie was delicious, as was the quiche Lorraine. The waiter was quite attentive, funny and spoke good English. A very much nicer place to eat or drink than others closer to Notre Dame and much less crowded. I strongly disagree with the few negative comments. This bistro is much better than the average. read more

This place has so far been my family's favorite restaurant in France. The food was really good--and steaming hot when it got to the table, a definite plus--the servers were all friendly and funny, and the prices were decent considering its proximity to Notre Dame. Have been there twice and enjoyed both meals. The pave de saumon is especially good. read more
