We stopped here on our journey around the city one evening, and it looked like an excellent spot for a bite. I am so glad that we did. We loved the people-watching and shared great conversations with the staff and the servers. They were very friendly throughout the time that we were there and had terrific recommendations. We ordered a few French staples and, of course, some delicious drinks as well. Paris undoubtedly has better food, but we loved what we got here. My biggest complaint is the space or lack thereof, that you have when you go to places like this. They work hard to cram as many people in there as possible, and they do a great job at it. Nevertheless, they were quick to serve, and everything was clean and warm when ordered, as necessary. I recommend it to people who are in the area and are interested in a quick bite. read more

I am really shocked this restaurant does not have a higher score. The food was delicious and presented very attractively. The service was attentive and efficient. We had a late unplanned lunch. They served us quickly because they were going to close before the dinner service. We were pleasantly surprised to find such a nice restaurant by chance. This was one of our favorite dining experiences on our vacation. read more

Not sure why this doesn't have a full 5 stars across the board?! My wife's croque-monsieur and salad was great and my crispy chicken sandwich was the best I've had. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the pomme frites were perfect as well! Because it's a warm June night I needed something cool and icy so instead of the normal Apérol Spritz I drank my new favorite, the Saint-Germain Spritz which is 1 1/4oz Saint-Germain liqueur 2oz prosecco 2oz sparkling water or lemonade With a slice of lemon Truly divine! The ambience was the classic outside Parisian experience and the price was on par with the food and drink. Lastly, the staff was friendly and polite. We highly recommend this place! read more

Taking a break from walking the streets of Paris we dropped into a lovely street cafe located on the corner of Rue de Turenne and Rue de Frances Bourgeois - just behind the Place des Voges, 17th Century Palace Royal, the oldest planned square in Paris and a most expensive and chic residence to Paris nobility. The service was impeccable the food noteworthy and the perfect location to people watch. This is a corner filled with chic boutiques of named designers, an eclectic mix of wealth shoppers, day worked and tourists filled the streets. So good to see all this hustle again. But I digress, my husband had a lovely beef burger and fries nothing to report other than he is a picky burger guy and was very pleased. I on the other hand ordered a Caesar salad and it was anything but Ordinary. In face I would say it may have ruined me from ever enjoying another Caesar as is typically served in the US (romaine, dressing, croutons, cheese). First off the salad served by Royal Tureene was beautiful! Secondly, the produce was lovely Fresh, lush, crisp leaves of romaine lettuce, lined the ample bowl, this was filled with a significant mound of; * chopped romaine lettuce (greens not cores) * sliced blanched carrots * blistered marinated cherry tomatoes * snipped green chives * shaved nutty parmesan * sweet raisins * buttery croutons The crowning floral was a full chicken breast which has been prepared exquisitely to yield a smoky, sweet, moist crunchy bite. The protein was pounded to tenderized at about 1/2" thick and marinated in a paprika based sauce, it was then breaded in Panko and fried crisp. Finally it was sliced and layer nicely over the salad. read more

So got an Airbnb close to this location, in La Marais. Just walking and enjoying the beautiful buildings and weather. Had 3 to 4 rows of outdoor patio seating that were packed. Found a table on the side that was perfect. Great service, funny servers, I speak l little French but tried my best. Very charming. Ordered a delicious bottle of red roses, foie gras, French onion soup. My daughter and her friend. Super, just needed a pack of cigarettes lol. Probably the best French onion soup we have had was here. Will definitely come back, my 5th trip to Paris! read more

We stopped in for a bite on a whim, as this restaurant was nearby to our hotel. Had escargot, french onion soup and veal shank. It was ok. Better food exists in Paris. read more

This can be pricy so we ordered carefully. A bacon burger, some crispy chicken and some crepes for €35. Given that we ordered carefully for lunch, sat Inside by a he window and had a charming waiter, it was a great time. Food was very good & service was wonderful. read more

Great food, but indoors REEKED of smoke. Like I walked out smelling like cigarettes. I feel like the whole point of eating indoors in Paris is so I DONT smell like I just smoked an entire pack of cigarettes... but the service was good and it's a cute place. read more

It's a great place to just stop in and get a drink in the middle of the Marais, but they also put a TV out on the terrasse on big game days, as when France was in the World Cup. Good staff, decent pricing, plenty of seating. read more

We asked for a cheese plate without meat. They then brought it with meat. We then asked for a new one. They had only removed it. We make a scene, they replace it. They promise not to charge us. We get our entrees, they were ok. I get my brownie, and it was fine. Then they bring us the bill and they charged us for the new cheese plate. We had to argue with them to get them to remove it. Terrible experience, would not eat here again. 3/10 read more

Unfortunately I had to make a decision and eat here as all my other choices in the area had no place for me to sit and I needed some food. I ordered the steak tartare that was so seasoned to cover the cheap quality of meat. It was so sweet. I couldn't tell you what they did to it. The French fries were not good either. Just all around cheap overpriced food. I guess it's busy for the location right on a corner. read more

Le Royal Turenne - Worst steak tartare :( - Brasseries Near Me - Paris, 75

Where to begin? 45 minutes after not even asking me if I wanted a drink. Yes, the waiters acknowledged me,but I finally had to go inside and complain. Then the beefsteak,which could not be cut with the serrated table knife and only marginally better with a requested steak knife. Really chewy beefsteak with a rather wilted green leaf salad--well the fries were decent. In all fairness, during the first 20 minutes of my wait,the restaurant was rather busy, but the crowd had thinned out and still no service. I had eaten here 5 or 6 times while here on different trips a few years ago and was looking forward to another good meal. Not this time! My advice--keep walking. Paris has lots of good restaurants. And also to be fair, the waiters were apologetic and not rude so it does deserve the two stars. read more

Came here for lunch as had been shopping in the area. I only had a starter and wine as we had dinner plans later. L'escargots were fabulous - lovely and garlicky. As I am gluten free then I brought my own bread. Portions are huge! My friend ordered the goats cheese salad and a massive salad with bacon, veggies, cheese and bread arrived. He done it justice but it was a bit of a struggle towards the end! Service - no issues. Tables are pretty close together and we asked to be moved from the original table they planned to give us as it was a tiny space. Looked like locals hanging out at Sunday lunch which is always a good sign! read more

It was a very hot summer night, we passed a lot of overrun terraces. Luckily there was a spot on this one aaand they had a cooling water sprinkling system! They called it 'aire de Bretagne'. The waiters were lovely and in a very good mood. The restaurant has a classic menu with some fish and meat. Our fish burger and rumsteak were 'a point'. The waiter even kept his patience with a demanding lady in front of us: chapeau! read more

I find it to be an overrated Brasserie and I was taken aback by the prices. There's also a strong arrogance by the waitstaff that I was not pleased by. read more

Le Royal Turenne - Coffee not that good relative to price - Brasseries Near Me - Paris, 75

We were treated exceptionally rude by a very curt waiter. The disrespectful way we were spoken to was insulting and embarrassing. Be forewarned, this is what gives the French such a bad rep read more

We ate here last night after arriving in Paris late afternoon. We had a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau 2014 since the festival was very recent. It was very reasonably priced at 20euro. We had chicken caesar salad, escargots, 2 cheeseburgers, and steak tartare. All the dishes came out well prepared and were very tasty. The wait staff was pleasant and came to check multiple times on how we were. The portions were a surprise, we figured they would be the smaller sizes ... but the burgers were very near 1/2 pound with a large basket of fries. The steak tartare was very good, had that hint of sour that meshed well with the dijon and hint of tabasco. The chicken on the salad was superbly cooked. The parmesan "shavings" were thinly sliced but very long. It was enjoyable. I admit that if we had read this review in advance, we would have skipped it. Glad we didn't. read more

Came in for a drink and possibly a meal to this place while visiting Paris. We ordered two soft drinks as it was a hot day. And there the tattoo covered waitress who took our order, in full view and not the least embarrassed, took two glasses on the bar in her left hand, dipped her right hand in a bucket full of ice cubes, filled our glasses and brought them to our table! How disgusting! I was so chocked I did not react or say anything. We drank from the bottle and left in a hurry. Where did those people learn to work? did they even heard about hygiene I wonder? What does it cost them to use a plastic cup to fill the glass with ice? Needless to say we did not have a meal at this place, We suspected "Ratatouille" was probably present in the kitchen... Nothing royal about the place that's for sure! read more

We were in Paris for 10 days and this was our place. Each morning we'd go for coffee and breakfast and many days stop by in the afternoon for a wine. The service is excellent. Our special waiter was David. He spoke excellent English and was so funny as he dealt with us. This was our second trip to Paris and last time in 2010, we spent a lot of time there, also. Probably one of the best people watching places in the Marais. Going back in 2014! read more

Yeah, so this cafe does tend to cater to tourists. But don't let that fool you. I live in the neighborhood, and find the service welcoming and non-condescending to those of us who are less than fluent in French. They make accommodation for me and my sizable crutches. The food is decent. But the chocolat chaud is to die-for. Could give Les Deux Magots a run. Go. Relax. Enjoy. read more

My wife and I got the hungries on a recent trip through Paris and this place looked inviting enough for us to stop in. They welcomed us just fine, as there were only a handful of patrons for an early lunch. I ordered the crepes sucre, which was underwhelming and unsatisfying. My coffee was decent, but my wife's decaf was terrible. Nescafe powder with some rancid water. She and I each took one sip to confirm how rancid it was. We tried to get the attention of the waiter to complain, he intoned that we would have to speak with the owner. She finally approached after a few minutes and gave us a look that said "too bad". In my broken French and their broken English, we tried to get the $5 taken off the tab. They began to argue that 'we should have known better' than to order decaf. REALLY? We've had good, REALLY good decaf in Paris already. Theirs was just terrible. It went downhill from there, they refused to do anything about it and we walked away pissed off (and me still hungry). Skip it, skip it, skip it. read more

We ate here twice...shame on us...mediocre or worse each time, but we were jet lagged and it was close to our apartment. Tough beef and three day old dessert with argumentative waiter. I see the excellent reviews and say to the reader, why stop here when there are so many really excellent restaurants in this area, several less than a block away from here. read more

3.5 stars for the set breakfast. Standard coffee and orange juice. But the bread and jams were really good. Better than all of the other brasseries I visited on my trip. read more

Love this brasserie, great food and friendly staff. Thanks Carlos! A wonderful place to relax and people watch.

We loved this restaurant. Stopped for drinks and dinner. Great service, great location to sit outside under the shade of a mulberry tree. I had sea bass with vegetable strips. Perfect! Nice dessert menu, too. We'd return anytime. read more

Surly service in the worst kind of tourist trap. Avoid at all costs. Once upon a time a fine establishment, but the new management seems bent on converting the place to a "gouge the tourist passerby" approach you find increasingly in Paris. There are many better places in the Marais. read more

The food is pricy and also they cheat on you when you pay. They have already added their proposition of tips without telling you. And if you refuse to pay that, after you recognised this cheat, they will make you do it... read more

We stopped here for a meal knowing nothing about this brasserie. We had a lovely experience and came back twice to enjoy the warm, helpful, and attentive wait staff, the high quality of the food, and the very pleasant ambience. We especially enjoyed the soupe a l'oignon, the mousse au chocolat, and the cheeseburger, as well as the selection of wines. We will definitely come here next time we're in Paris. Highly recommended for a casual meal! read more

This restaurant, once upon a time one of my favorite brasseries in Paris has become just plain lousy and down right unpleasant. Miserable, inattentive and surly service. Food now worse than mediocre. It used to be packed with locals. It no longer is. Small wonder. I dragged my family over in the rain, remembering how good it used to be. We all said: Never Again. Avoid. read more

Can't understand some recent negative reviews. We visit Paris every year for several weeks and eat at many Bistros and Brassaries. The Royal Turenne is better than most. Its location and large terrace at a busy crossroad near the place des Voges makes it a prime locale for the people watching that is so much a part of Paris life. The food is excellent. Great and huge salads. The steaks, which I ordered on three occasions were far superior to any I have eaten at many Parisian Bistros, including ones recommended by famous food critics. The waiters are multi-lingual, friendly, and efficient. It is not cheap, but show me a decent restaurant in Paris that is. Ownership of this Brassarie changed hands several months ago and some reviewers worried that quality would decline. Not so! I frequented the Royal Turenne when it was under its old management and it was a good experience. Now it is even better. read more

Stopped by for dinner. The service and food were average but read the bill!! I ordered (not on the menu) hot water with lemon. I figured they'd charge me something but the house water is free, so how much more could it be! On the bill, they charged me 5.40 Euro!! For a cup of hot water and a slice of lemon!! That's almost $7.50 Canadian!! They said they had to charge me for tea, but the tea on the menu was 4.8 Euros - is that a double rip-off!! What a tourist trap - stay away! read more
