FOOD: We had come here on a Tuesday afternoon at around…read more12:00 pm for lunch. When we had first sat down, we were told that all guests that were booked for that day were to receive the same type of lunch, which was the Informal Social Tea (Light), which came out to $19.95 per person. We were first given a plate of fruit, which included cut-up pears, cherries, and watermelon pieces. We did find the fruit to be very fresh, and enjoyed the presentation of it, which was nicely-situated on the small dish that was given to us. Next, we were given a dish of six scones, which we thought was quite generous as there were only two of us; a side dish included the devonshire cream and jam for the scones. We noticed that the scones were a bit hard, which tasted like they may have been left in the oven a bit too long as they were dark on the bottom. The taste of them was good though, they tasted fresh and appetizing, with sprinkled icing sugar on the top to sweeten the taste. Afterwards, we were given our tea, which was an oolong flavour, tasting absolutely divine! We loved how fresh the tea was, and how wonderful it went with our meal, such a great flavour. Along with the tea, we were given a small plate of strawberries for my little one that was with us, which we thought was such a nice thought from Judy (the owner). We also received a small dish of vegetables (cauliflower, pickles, carrots and peppers), which were based in a type of vinaigrette dressing. We weren't too keen on this option as we found it to be high on the vinegar-side, but appreciated the effort. The sandwiches were next, and were very appetizing to look at once they reached our table. We had three different types; one was egg salad on a yellow bread that was rolled into pinwheels, another was smoked-beef on toasted rye, and the last was a type of cold-cut with mustard on a rolled-up flatbread. In all honesty, all of the sandwiches were really well-done, with a lot of flavour in each of them. However, the best were the egg salad, which were perfectly rolled, with just the right amount of spice in them, and the smoked-beef on rye, which was grilled to perfection, and piping-hot (temperature-wise). We enjoyed the smoked-beef so much that we asked for more, and was willing to pay for them, but Judy gave them to us for free! Lastly, we received the plate of sweets, which included chocolate cupcakes, marzipan slices, cheesecake squares, ginger slices, and an almond cookie. Judy mentioned how each of these desserts were homemade, and it showed; they each tasted impeccable, boasting a savoury taste that stayed in our mouths long after we left. She was a wonderful baker, and we appreciated the efforts in her desserts! ATMOSPHERE: This tea room was situated on a quiet street in Paris, with ornate looking columns at the front of the home, and a historical feel that boasted a home from the Victorian-Era. We loved the little gate at the front of the home which welcomed us to the entrance, along with the picturesque landscaping in the front. The home itself was absolutely beautiful, with two large rooms at the front for diners, and a sunroom at the back overlooking the water, which is where we were situated. We loved the décor of the home, which had older pictures on the wall, and also the tables and chairs, which were cozy yet traditional. This truly felt like a home that was built in the Victorian-Era, which made us feel that we were dining at that time. It was also peaceful and quiet, which was what we were looking for when we attended. As we were seated near the kitchen, we did hear some extra noise from there however, not too much, only from time-to-time. SERVICE: We were served by Judy, who is the owner of the home and the tea room. She was wearing a beautiful costume reminiscent of the 1850s, which was a long skirt, long-sleeved blouse, and a wonderful brooch at the nape of her neck. We loved how her outfit made us feel even more like we were in the time-period mentioned. Judy was very attentive during our visit, even giving my son some toys to play with in-order to keep him occupied during our lunch. She came over to refill our teapots when needed, and even made us extra sandwiches without charging us. We loved how friendly she was, and would surely want to see her again. COST: Informal Social Tea (Light): $19.95/Each = $39.90 WOULD YOU RETURN? Without a doubt! We really enjoyed our time here, and felt that Judy pulled all of the stops to make sure we had a lunch we would never forget!

After visiting the Notre-Dame Cathedral, we walked over here for some sweets. They have a variety of flavors to choose from, stuffed inside the cream puff and also with icing on top. I picked the citron (lemon) flavor and highly enjoyed it! The cream puff was filled with lemon flavor and was a light, yet satisfying dessert. You'll need to make sure to try cream puffs in Paris and Odette has some great ones. I regret only getting one cream puff! Bonus points for being convenient located, just steps away from the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Angelina, Paris, France -- April 12…read more Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 stopped here for lunch after visiting the Louvre, drawn in by its reputation for having the best hot chocolate in the world. We were looking for a place to relax and refuel, and the experience felt a bit mixed overall. Arrival and First Impressions The space is elegant with classic Parisian charm. The line moved quickly, and we were seated with a great view of the dining room. It felt refined but still comfortable. The Highlights The famous hot chocolate lived up to expectations, thick, rich, and almost more like a dessert than a drink. We also had French onion soup and an éclair, both of which were very good. The pastries were clearly well made and thoughtfully prepared. The kids had chicken tenders, which they enjoyed, even though the tomato sauce was a bit different from what they expected. The Challenges The biggest drawback was the price. The meal felt expensive for what we ordered, coming in at €154 for a fairly simple lunch. Service felt slightly rushed as they moved tables along quickly. Final Thoughts We would likely return if we were nearby and specifically craving the hot chocolate again. It is a classic Paris stop and worth trying once, but the value may not justify going out of your way unless that signature experience is high on your list.

It really tastes like melted chocolate with a bit of milk mixed in to make it more drinkable. We went at a bit of an off time, late morning and it wasn't overly busy. We saw our server once and I couldn't recall who he was when it came time to get the bill. I asked a hostess walking by for our check and she told me to ask our server while walking away. We were able to flag another server down eventually but the whole process just took too long. The tables for four have chairs that don't quite tuck in causing for a bit awkward seating. If you like really thick hot chocolate, give it a try but otherwise ok to miss this one. Plenty of good hot chocolate throughout the city.

We were visiting the Palace of Versailles, and wanted to explore the area around it after. After looking around we found this spot online and also happened to walk by where it seemed to be really popular. We got the french onion soup and the cream of chicken dishes. Overall, I didn't think they were anything that great. The soup was fine but nothing special really, and some of the croutons it came with were burnt. The chicken was also a little bland and the potatoes were slightly dry. The salad and baguette were great though. This was such a cute and cozy restaurant and I loved the decor and ambiance inside though!
