One of the best creme brulee I have ever had here, it was smooth, not too sweet and just the perfect blend of egg. we can't wait to visit France again to dine here. It was pouring outside, this was one of the few restaurant that was opened mid day, it was truly a saving grace for us. We ordered the charcueterie because we saw another customer ordered one, so what the heck. Every piece was well prepared and just delightful to eat. We had the onion soup and it was delicious for a chilly wet day. read more

We loved this little spot. Far enough away from the over-crowded tourist area. But walking distance. The patio is beautifully decorated with lights and flowers hanging down from the ceiling. We went in for crepes and champagne. It was perfect. Nice little daytime treat. Service was friendly and fast. Locals and visitors were both enjoying the weather on the patio. read more

Food was amazing! They had amazing French onion soup and the grilled duck tasted amazing. Creme brûlée also was delicate, not too eggy, and smooth. Not too sweet either. Service was a bit slow but that may be the French way so we soaked it in in appreciation. The one thing was getting charged for water when we asked for regular tap water but maybe we should have been clearer or there was a language issue on our part. Will do better in learning my French next time I come! Ambience was great! read more

A classic French street cafe, we stopped for dinner. Nice servers, several spoke english so we didn't have problems ordering. I however had a different menu than the others (QR code scan) and couldn't see the entire menu. No idea why. We shared a meat platter and I had the sea bass dinner. Jut what you expected. read more

Le Poincaré - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This restaurant is located near the Eiffel Tower, and very close to the Renaissance Paris Nobel Hotel. (which is why we chose it). Warm risotto with unknown dried fish, and mediocre octopus makes a not so good dinner. Nothing to write home about for sure. We ordered the risotto with scallops, and the Octopus. The scallops were nicely cooked, but the risotto was only lukewarm. This dish was served with 5 scallops and a couple of pieces of what looked like dried fish. I asked what it was but the waiter could not translate it to English for me. At almost 30 euros I would expect better quality food. The octopus was just mediocre. Nothing special. Again at almost 30 euros it needed to be better. Save your money. read more

Hands down the best bistro food we had in Paris! During our 6 days stay in Paris Bistrot Le Poincaré happened to be just a few blocks away from our Airbnb. One day we stopped there for dinner and liked it so much that came back for lunch on the last day just before going to the airport :) Both times we sat outside, watching passers-by. The service was quick and super friendly. During our visit to Paris we didn't go to upscale/fine dining/Michelin restaurants but ate at bistros and cafes similar to Bistrot Le Poincaré. Hands down Bistrot Le Poincaré had the best food we tasted in Paris! It was very fresh and absolutely delicious on both occasions! Presentation was also great like a piece of art! I wish I can visit this place again someday. We highly recommend Bistrot Le Poincaré if you are in the area! Dishes ordered Avocado Toast with Smoked salmon, beetroot caviar, feta cheese and egg yolk - this looked beautifully and tasted deliciously! Tuna Tataki - this looked beautifully and tasted deliciously! Duck Breast orange-flavored honey sauce, Spelt risotto with asparagus - duck breast was a bit tough, but very flavorful. Risotto was as good as the duck. Beef Tartare with herring caviar, smoked oil - excellent. Could get a bit more spices IMO. Poultry Suprême Stuffed with Truffle and Baby Spinach with Slow-braised baby potatoes - delicious Slow-braised baby potatoes - excellent Chicken Burger - good Sea bass fillet, white butter sauce with saffron - delicious! Strawberry Pavlova - perfect Crepe with Caramel - excellent French crepe. It was a great last note to part with Paris on :) read more

Pluses and minuses. Wait staff was polite and service prompt. I ordered the Caesar salad, which comes with chicken per the menu. The chicken is breaded and fried. Not the healthiest, but whatever, I'm on vacation. The larger/thicker pieces of chicken were quite good. However, half of the chicken pieces were scaloppini thin = dry and tough. For 18.5 Euros, it fell short. read more

The food and ambiance were both outstanding. We enjoyed it so much, we ended up going twice during our trip. The steak tartare and foie gras were so exceptional, we ordered them both times. I'm usually not a big fan of duck pâté, but the way they paired it with gingerbread completely changed my mind--it was surprisingly delicious and well-balanced. read more

Ambiance: We were trying to be spontaneous and we walked around and saw this place. The goal was to try new foods like escargot and they had it on their menu. It is nearby the photo spot for the Eiffel Tower and the space was pretty big. What I noticed that in France the seats are really small good for two. Service: The service was good! Most people can speak English so that is helpful. I wish I could speak french... I do notice that if you want the check you have to be proactive or they will let you stay as long as you want. Food $$: We got some steak frites and wow the escargot was really good. I was nervous at first but the sauce that comes with it was buttery and like a green savory herb paste. 10/10 Audience: Solo Trip [X] Family Friendly [ X] Friends [X] Date Spot [X] Recommendations/tips: I recommend and this is saved on my favorites! I will definitely come back! read more

a nice cozy restaurant nearby our hotel. We were able to walk in without a reservation and get seated by the window. We ended up getting the french onion soup, escargot and steak and fries. They also bring a small basket of bread as well. All the items were delicious and decently priced. One thing i found funny, was the timing of bring out food. They bought out the french onion soup and the escargot first. My wife wanted to snack/eat on these items, but i ordered steak and fries. After about 15 mins, i asked if my steak and fries were coming and they told me they thought we wanted to finished the soup/escargot before we got the steak. I guess it was simple miscommunication. lol read more

I really love the food here and their customer service is top notch. Having dinner here twice already has been the highlight of my trip in Paris so far. I have had their bacon burger that came with fries and also the beef tartare which I really love. This time it came with super hard overcooked fries but when I asked for a replacement and with the herb roasted potato quarters my brother had ordered first, they came out quickly and were so delicious. My waiters the last two times I had eaten here were 100% professional and friendly. Overall my experience has been wonderful. I highly recommend to anyone who wants an amazing meal in a nice quaint neighborhood and with excellent customer service, then Le Poincaré is the ideal place. The restaurant is also not overly crowded and has a nice subtle ambience that I really enjoy and appreciate. read more

A hidden gem just 2 blocks away from the Eiffel tower. No long lines no frills. It's mostly locals who eat in this restaurant so it gives you that Parisian vibe a tourist like me longs for. The foods were all from the Fois Gras to the duck confit and the lamb! Everything tasted like a Michelin star cuisine! Can't wait to go back! read more

We landed this morning in Paris. I always enjoy asking the hotel personnel " where are you planning on eating dinner tonight?

Would we eat here again yes. Bon appétit read more

Service is nice but the meal is not up to par with the actual notoriety of Paris food. It's near the Eiffel Tower so the atmosphere of being near the most iconic area is wonderful but it's good or shall I say my current meal does not encourage me to revisit this place again. It's quaint and would be possibly ok for drinks and gathering with friends. read more

This is a delightful cafe with outdoor seating. A place to soak up the local scene and have a couple drinks. The food was ok. We have the onion soup, Caesar salad and flank steak. The onion soup was different. Caesar was pretty standard. The steak was pretty tough. The service was friendly and attentive. read more

In Paris for a day and the hotel recommend this place. We started with French onion soup. It was not traditional but it is probably the best I've had. It and the bread it came with are perfect. It is a bit sweet with the cheese. I had the duck. It was fantastic. Cooked perfectly and the sauce was wonderful. The resitúo was creamy and delicious as well. It has a slight smoky taste that the pomegranate balanced perfectly. My wife's steak was great as well. Definitely recommend. read more

Great French food , feels like you are a French cafe , the decor is Tribute to Paris.

It was our first night in Paris and we ended up trying out this place. It was a block away from the Mainstreet where all the other restaurants were, which I liked. I wanted to try and experience the French cuisine so we started with foui gras, escargot and the onion soup. I loved it all! Although not the traditional style onion soup, I enjoyed their version that was a bit thicker and creamier. For my plate I got the magret de canard (duck breast) with risotto + salad. Everything was delicious. We always gotta end with something sweet so we got the Tarte Citron Meringuée. Which was amazing light fresh and tart. read more

Local brasserie, off the Trocadero so less touristy than the mob scene just a few blocks away. Classic brasserie menu (e.g., foie gras, salade de chevre chaud, escargots, entrecotes, etc.) and the food is solid. The service is very good, warm and funny, in a country where let's just say, that's not always the case. I'd come here again any day. One big plus for overscheduled tourists: you can even reserve online via TheFork -- which is something of a rarity for Paris local brasseries. You can check out the menu there and on menuonline.fr as well. read more

A wonderful way to start our Paris adventure. Walking distance from our hotel the food and beverages were a delight.

Came by with the wife for lunch Service was great. I ordered the flank steak with potatoes. The flank steak was hard to chew and had no flavor. I do not recommend getting it. I give the flank steak a 4/10 The potatoes were delicious. That I would give a 9/10. My wife got the crème brûlée , she said it was very good and highly recommends it. read more

We had dinner at this typical french bistro our last night in Paris.  This bistro has about 20 tables outside and all of them were filled when we left.  Great Parisian vibe...including the cigarette smoke.  Being a true Californian, I will never get used to smelling smoke while I'm eating.  It just doesn't happen here.  Sorry, I digressed on the cigarette smoke.  This is typical at every restaurant so I'm not knocking Le Poincare. We had a great waiter.  He was patient with our lack of french language skills.  We started with cocktails and escargot.  Both were great.  I tasted the garlic all night!  My wife had sea bass with a beure blanc sauce and I had a flank steak with roasted potatoes.  The steak was served rare (the waiter didn't ask the temperature I preferred).  Again, this may be a french thing.  The steak was just o.k.  I asked the waiter if the chef would make me an Au Poivre (peppercorn) sauce.  The chef said NO.  I could hear him yell from the kitchen...not really but that is what I envisioned.  The french do have an attitude.  The roasted potatoes were the highlight.  I could have ate a whole plate of potatoes.  My wife's sea bass was good...not great.  There was nothing the stood out for her or me, with the one bite she gave me. This was a good experience mainly due to the waiter.  He made the dinner hugely enjoyable which made up for the pretty basic food.  I would keep looking for a place with BOTH, great wait staff AND great food....I say fire the chef ;) that would be a good start! read more

The outside décor was inviting. I was walking alone, craving foie gras in Paris and came across Le Poincaré. Although it was tasty there was a hair in my food and thankfully the staff took my plate away and brought me a new serving. Unexpectadly, my friend came to join me and the waitress became incredibly frustrated and showed it by rolling her eyes, groaning, rushing about and becoming anxious and upset over our request for a bigger table. The food was good - foie gras, tasty and onion soup was creamy and not like the delicious broth with melted cheese and bread on top. So, all in all - mediocre food and rude waitress. Nice atmosphere if you can disregard the person serving you. read more

We stopped in at this restaurant before walking over to Trocadéro to watch the Eiffel Tower twinkle at night. My son loved how the waitress opened the Coca Cola bottle over her shoulder. He is usually picky about food but heartily devoured his cheeseburger that had sesame seeds on the bun. I asked about gluten free options. The waitress gave me several options. I went with the ceviche and the burrata entrees (appetizers in the USA). Both were tasty and I was satisfied with the amount of food. My daughter opted for the vegetable lasagna. She said it was good. My husband ordered the croque madame with an extra egg. The sandwich was very big. The eggs were perfectly cooked. Everyone enjoyed their meals. read more

Probably the most average meal we had in Paris. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't amazing.

We visited this lovely restaurant after visiting the Eiffel Tower. It's walking distance from the Trocadero subway station and we needed a warm place to have a snack and wine and this place did not disappoint. The service, food and atmosphere was outstanding. We were there around closing time but the staff never made us feel rushed or unwelcomed, something that doesn't usually happen in the states. I would recommend their French onion soup and charcuterie board, since we just stopped for a quick bite we did not try the larger entrees but were very impressed by the warm service. Will definitely visit again when in Paris. read more

Not tourist friendly. The blond tall man at the cashier makes you and eternal waiting for a table that never arrives because it assigns them to French clients or friends who arrives after (Always with alleged "reservations") . He laughs in your face. Finallly We ate so good next to the Eiffel Tower much better (The Wilson ) Pas convivial pour les touristes. Le grand blond à la caisse vous fait attendre éternellement une table qui n'arrive jamais car il les assigne à des clients français ou à des amis qui arrivent après (toujours avec de prétendues " réservations "). Il vous rit au nez. Finalement On a tellement bien mangé à côté de la Tour Eiffel bien mieux (Le Wilson ) read more
