Great ambiance for a casual dinner with friends or family. The service was wonderful as the waiter was attentive and speedy. They had a great selection of entrees that differed from many of the adjacent cafes. I would recommend this place for small groups and couples.

Happy hour menu

Solo dined here as a tourist and absolutely loved it! The staff was super friendly and constantly checked in on me. It's situated at the corner right in front of the Metro, perfect for people watching. Ordered duck confit and French onion soup and it filled up my warm belly. I would definitely return again the next time I visit Paris. It's easily walkable from Le Bon Marche and lots of shopping around.

My partner and I ate here on our last night in Paris unplanned as the bistro looked inviting and the menu agreeable. Located on a busy corner in a great neighborhood (Montparnasse) it competes with two other bistros on the same corner and it's always busy. Finding a table inside or on the sidewalk never seems to be a problem and one is welcomed and seated quickly. We were greeted by Julian and sat outside amongst other Parisiens. He brought out complimentary homemade potato chips that had no taste and stale. We ordered the veal Milanese with linguine and chicken escalope with pasta in a mushroom sauce. The veal came out on metallic hot plate with the pasta. Both food came out warm, tasty and delicious. The Parmesan came out shredded just how I like it. All in all was a good meal and highly recommend this place.

Fish and Chips & Pasta w/ Salmon ⋅ Notre-Dame des Champs - 6éme - Paris, France

Located along Rue de Rennes in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, this cafe values comfort, generous portions, and quality service. We were pleasantly surprised to see a pretty extensive dinner menu, with a wide range of options to choose from. Popular attractions in this area include Le Bon Marché, Le Jardin du Luxembourg, Les Deux Magots, Tour Montparnasse, and Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The cafe has a cool, dark aesthetic, with wooden furniture and black painted walls. Seating is plentiful inside and out, with chairs facing the street for people-watching. We sat outside in the patio area, under the awning. Communicating in English was a breeze, and Visa/Mastercard is accepted. If you're visiting for a small bite, you will find crepes, Croque Madame, croissants, ice cream, and other cafe items. Main course items included appetizers (escargot), salads, meat dishes, seafood, and pasta. Hamburger maison was a wonderful combination of cereal bread, a thick juicy patty, served with a side of salad and fries. Fish & chips tasted good as expected, with a nice crispy batter. Penne pasta with salmon is decent choice. A majority of the dishes are around or above €15. Choosing a place to eat on this road is hard, with many cafes, brasseries, and restaurants to choose from. I would recommend walking around and check out the menus, which are almost always posted outside. Le Trait d'Union and L'Horizon are across the street, and seem more popular. I found that Le Saint Placide was quieter, but a more relaxing environment with simple yet solid dinner options.

Open early with amazing customer service! With a warm and inviting atmosphere, the staff made me feel welcome. The restaurant offers fair pricing and does not try and take advantage of the language difference. The food is delicious, with freshly squeezed orange juice and chocolate-topped cappuccinos that will ensure that you start your Parisian adventures on a good note!

Quick service - and they speak English. The breakfast was fresh and quick at a reasonable price. Loved the fresh squeezed orange juice and the decaf coffee was surprisingly flavorful. We stayed at the Holiday Inn across the street and made this a quick 15min stop before leaving the city.

My mom and I came for a late dinner one evening around 9. I find that when I travel abroad I tend to crave a big healthy salad. (Maybe it was all the sugary waffles and buttery croissants...) Once we saw the menu, we were hooked. We split a salad and some pasta. I also ordered a glass of wine. (When it's only like 4 euros a glass, how can you not?) The pasta was decent, but the salad was our fav. We decided to end the meal with a mini dessert sampler and espresso. The espresso was good, but the desserts weren't worth it. I'd rather have some churros or a grand marnier and Nutella crepe from a street vendor (don't judge). The service was great. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Open-faced ham, egg and (loads) of cheese sandwich.

I came to this area to find the restaurant I wanted to try was closed for the day. Unfortunately I didn't have data so I couldn't quickly yelp a place to eat so after wandering around the street, Jay C. and I decided to eat here. There are several cafes at this intersection but we chose this one merely for the menu that was in English. The food was fine-- slightly overpriced but I figured it was because of the area. I was tricked by the "homemade" ice tea which turned out to be a small bottle of lipton tea. The drinks are very expensive here so I would just stick with tap water (make sure you specify tap or else they will bring you bottled water). I had an opened faced sandwich which came with a side salad. The sandwich had wayyyy too much cheese for my liking, but I just ended peeling it off and eating the bread. All in all not a bad place to grab a quick bite to eat. As stated before the menu is in English and the waitresses spoke English as well.

They speak english, which was fine, I ordered the supreme and it was okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. My mom ordered an omelette with ham, but got an omelette with cheese. We sent it back, and then got a burnt omelette back. Like the chef got angry at us for wanting to correct the mistake? I cant really call it anything else other than bad service. The waitress was fine, though! Spoke english well, and was understanding. She even removed the bad dish from our tab, so 3 stars for that in itself. Thanks for the read!

French Onion Soup
Karishma P.

Absolutely loved this little place near our hotel. Breakfasts were the best we had during our stay in Paris. You can either do the typical French breakfast of baguette or croissant and coffee + orange juice or go American style and have eggs and cold meats added to your breakfast. We loved the croissants here and ended up having breakfast at St Placide on 4 of the 6 mornings. Even stepped in late one night for some soup and dessert.

Escargot

Excellent service, wait staff very attentive. Food even better! We ordered escargot, beef tartare, and lamb. Give their vin chaud (hot wine) a try too

Fred R.

Nice place, with fair food. The boss of this café-restaurant and his deputy, generally behind the bar, are very friendly. The rest of the staff could be more empathic and kinder as they usually are. I frequently attend this bar, and like very much the part close to the counter. When ordering a "croissant", they also give you jam, which is rather nice and rare in cafés... A good place in this area !

Audacious breakfast
Diana R.

Came here for breakfast was having a hard time finding a restaurant with early hours and good breakfast. Thanks to yelp I found this little cafe near my hotel. And boy it was delicious !! We each got the audacious breakfast (10.70 euros) it brought a lot of items for a great price in my opinion. It brought a piece of French bread with butter, a croissant, jam, hot chocolate or coffee, fresh orange juice, bacon and two fried eggs. The French bread with very soft with a nice not too hard exterior. The croissant was very good alone and the jam made better. I ordered the hot chocolate which was very good did not taste like a watered down hot chocolate. The orange juice was real fresh orange juice very delicious considering it's hard to get. The bacon was just a tad bit salty but wasn't bad considering the eggs weren't salted. But everyone has their own taste. In the end if you're American and barely speak French they're very friendly here. The menu has English and French side the waitress knew English she was very nice and friendly. She was alone waitressing but was still on top of helping her costumers. She also didn't give off any vibe of being over whelmed. I highly recommend this cafe if you can make it.

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

However, the portions were more than expected considering it was gourmet. We couldn't finish our entrees. Good spot for French brunch as it is a top fine-food grocer and deli. Sit outside on the sidewalk. There is an awning/umbrella to block out the sun which was great on a hot day. Note founded in 1894!

Oh my goodness, what a find! We stopped here for no better reason than our apartment was right…read morearound the corner and we were in the mood for a nice French lunch. Such good luck! I started with the free-range eggs with mayo, and my wife started with the leeks with vinaigrette. The eggs were delicious, but the leeks may have been the best preparation I've ever had in my life. For our main courses, she had the egg muffin, and I had the sausage and mash. Our meal was superb. Whoever is in the kitchen has clearly learned the art of French cuisine well. Service was fantastic, the people-watching (we ate al fresco) was fantastic, and I simply couldn't think of a way to make this a better meal.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

My expectations for Café Mademoiselle were low. It was late in the lunch hour and the place I…read moreinitially chose was already closed. Café Mademoiselle was nearby, had a sidewalk full of diners, and I grabbed a table quickly, fearful of getting shut out of lunchtime offerings entirely. I should know better than to order a salad in Paris. Not that they'e bad, simply that they're quite different than California salads. Quite different and not as appealing in my opinion. But another dish was also ordered at my table, an unusual choice for the two of us dining there. It was a special of the day, Araignee de Porc (23€), and not something I'd personally have chosen. It was delicious. French chefs know what to do with this cut of meat (pork) and I was wowed. The salad (Salad Nicoise, 23€) was almost forgotten as the pork dish took center stage. Service here is terse. The restroom is down a steep flight of stairs. The place serves many tourists, and does so in a manner that doesn't inspire one to harbor overly fond memories. But here's the recipe for success: find out what the chef's special is that day and order that. That's how you do Café Mademoiselle.

The onion soup is delicious!! And finish off with crème brûlée…read more I have gone back every time I have visited Paris. It is a great lunch spot if you are out walking around.
