We arrived without reservations at 20:30 as well as a large group (6 Americans) and Yves made it work for us with only a short wait. This is located in a neighborhood so don't expect to go sit at a bar and wait it out. When we go again, we definitely will do reservations. The space is beautifully decorated and the whole place just exudes a "real" French experience vibe. The staff mostly speak English and they do have English menus so don't shy away if you don't speak French. The food was absolutely, hands down, spectacular. There was not a single miss across all the meals. From starters to mains to desert and wines Yves has it all on point. The best part? Yves works the room I. His own place. He speaks excellent English and truly cares that you have a wonderful experience in his place. We will be back 100% the next time we are in Paris. Don't fall victim to the Michelin stars and the over priced places you find a 5 minute walk from the Arc D'Triumphe. This is worth making the longer walk! The food was incredible, the price was unbeatable (300€ for 5 people with 2 bottles of wine and deserts) and the people are just perfect. No better meal in a week in Paris. Love.

We were able to take our time and they did not close or reopen like some other places so it was a good spot to have around. I would recommend if you're in the area and are trying to grab some food during that in-between time of day :)

Apparently one of four restaurants around Paris, LCDT is fairly small and crowded at lunch, but well worth a visit for a pleasant meal with some lovely wines and good service (one of the waiters had passable English). There are also seats at the wine bar. The list is short (bottles and by the glass) but with wines you'll have fun exploring. I enjoyed the seared tuna (thon poêlé) for 25 euros, and we had a lovely glass 2016 Claudie Jobard Rully Montagne La Folie from the Côte Chalonnaise (10 euros for a typical Paris pour). Also a fantastic bowl of parsnip soup, which could have been a meal in itself (10 euros). If this was in Boston, people would be lining up. Definitely get a serving of the frites for the table!

We became acquainted with Christian Etchebest because he collaborated last summer with a local Cape Cod French chef, Phillipe Rispoli (who trained with Paul Bocouse in Lyon, and opened Daniel Baloud's Las Vegas restaurant which earned a Michelin star). That restaurant, PB Boulengerie and Bistro is in Wellfleet, MA. If Chef Rispoli has high regard for a chef, we should all pay attention. In this case, we're absolutely delighted that we did. Of course Chef Etchebest's deserved reputation is sufficient by itself. We called for reservations because we couldn't do it online. English was not a problem. There are 6 Cantines. This is the one on Rue Cherche Midi. 2 of the 4 of us had just arrived so it was an early dinner, and quite a good one. We started with Foie Gras, a wonderful leek dish, and my wife ordered razor clams (which rated A+). Plats: 2 of us ordered a lovely, simple, beautifully prepared veal dish. 1 of us had a well prepared cod dish, and my wife had amazing pork cheeks with pui lentels. We had 3 veggie sides, served family style: mashed potatoes, Ratatouille, and Salade Verte...all excellent. Desserts: we split Ile Flottante (floating island) and Pomme Crumble. Both wonderful, but the former was particularly so. The service was attentive, professional, and friendly, but not intrusive, and this was one of the memorable meals we've had in Paris. We're not talking about haute cuisine here. But you'd be hard pressed to find a better bistro experience, and we'd definitely return!

A slight chill in the air pulls your scarf closer as French words - still new to you, a visitor of this city known for its endless avenues of stately nougat and slate buildings - roll off your tongue: "Café Dalayrac." You sit facing the street, in the prime people-watching position, and peruse the menu while listening in on the half-French, half-English conversation going on behind you (something about an ex-lover meeting a new one, and how that scenario doesn't play well for the latter). You ask your French partner to decipher the menu for you, and he orders what sounds like an elaborate poem to non-French-speaking ears. Soon, a plate of half-cut eggs on billows of clouds (homemade mayonnaise) appears on your marble disc of a table. Oh, how the French love mayonnaise, and how you love to love what's loved: sinfully delicious deviled eggs. Later, grilled ground beef (another French delicacy- not quite an American cheeseburger and not quite tartare) with homemade frites. Divinity on a dish. The table behind you departs, and the hum of the city fills the space where their conversation once lingered. "C'est une nuit magnifique," says the waitress, collecting the dishes as though she's performing in a ballet. It's a beautiful night indeed.

They offered us bread to begin and then they brought our salad, ok so listen here, I ordered the Caesar salad and there was NOTHING Cesar about it ... lol The taste was good, but it was legit like a garden salad, if you had to guess what kind of salad I was eating; we would all still be there waiting for you to guess. It had oil and vinegar as dressing, long strips of bacon, green beans, lettuce, beat, tomato, Parmesan cheese and long strips of chicken, and even with all those ingredients, the taste was a bit bland so I'd skip this if I were you. My main dish was better, it was the beef bolognese and that was good, it came with mashed potatoes and a few lettuce leaves, I wouldn't say it was the best though, I guess at that point I was hungry haha .. the staff was nice but again, I've been to better.
