Cute classic French cafe. Staff was patient but rather distant. The escargot was good. The fish and chips were subpar. The fries were not hot nor crispy. The fish was rather dense and dry. read more

What's up: It was our first time in Paris and we were walking around the area looking for a place to grab food. We ended up wandering into this place to grab lunch. Parking: We walked here, so the parking situation did not apply to us. However, we did see some cars parked on the side of the roads. Environment: The waitress that greeted us spoke some English and we were very appreciative of that. We were shown to the table and given menus (all in French). There is a bar in the middle of the restaurant and there was also outdoor seating. Toilets are located to the right of the bar and down the stairs. What was ordered: Cheeseburger au Cheddar, Ravioles Ricotta with Crème de Parmesan, Crème Brûlée à la Vanille Bourbon. The Cheeseburger was ok, but the Ravioles was very good. It wasn't too cheesy and was very creamy. It also came with pieces of baguette. The Crème Brûlée was sweet and creamy with the top sugar coating being lightly crispy; I loved it! Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. We had a great experience here and we were very thankful that the waitress was so patient with us since none of us spoke French. The only thing was the mistake with the drinks when we asked for regular tap water and the waitress gave us bottled Evian water. Other than that, the food was great and we had a good time here. Credit cards were accepted. read more

Atmosphere: Le Village Monge is conveniently located next to the Censier-Daubenton metro station. We sat outdoors by the street under an awning. Service: Our waitress, who spoke English, was friendly and helpful as she helped explain some pastries we were unfamiliar with. Food: We ordered a tarte bourdaloue, a French pear tart. The tart probably would've tasted better if served hotter, but it was only slightly warm and quickly got cold. To add, the tart was light but not very flavorful. We also ordered a decaf espresso, which was good to sip on. Overall: La Village Monge was a restaurant we visited on a whim due to its location by a metro station. While the tarte bourdaloue wasn't bad, it also did not impress us either, especially since it was served rather lukewarm. La Village Monge would be a good place to go for a casual cup of coffee and to catch up with friends. read more

The staff and the food are incredible. You feel like you are at home with your family. I highly recommend this restaurant. And on Monday nights, they have a jazz band. My favorite restaurant in Paris. read more

We tried this based on the review and the proximity to our Air B&B. The service was great. The service was perfectly timed. Neither too slow or too fast. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. The menu is fully translated. I ordered the escargot (€9) and my partner order the baked Camembert (€9) for starters. I had vodka and cranberry juice as an aperitif. I got a crystal tumbler with three fingers of vodka and a carafe of cranberry juice. (€6). I made 3 decent drinks with it. For our main course I had the honey sesame chicken brochette (€16) with quinoa risotto. Both the sauce for the chicken and the quinoa were inspired. My partner had the skirt steak with frites (€18) it was perfectly cooked (rare - a pointe) The presentation was beautiful! We were enticed by the steak tartare. It comes with a choice of 4 flavour combinations, but we chickened our in the end. The dessert menu looked enticing as well with homemade gelato but we were too full and content to eat more. The location is right on the corner of a busy intersection. We ate on the patio and enjoyed all the great architecture and interesting characters Paris has to offer. Pretty much a dream date night. We went back for breakfast a couple days after the dinner date. Our daughter wanted crepes and we needed to be on the road by 10. This place opens at 8 am. Crepes aren't exactly on the menu but our lovely waitress Marie had the chef make them for us we also got beautiful fruit cups. Marie was very interested in our well being and explained the different coffee lingo so we wouldn't get ripped off in other restaurants. She also recommended the Klimt exhibit at the attelier de luminieres. It was excellent. read more

We were exploring the Latin district and stumbled upon this restaurant. The prices were reasonable and they had an English menu, which was good for us. My husband started with the escargot dish and all the snails were in a strong garlic sauce. He enjoyed the experience. I wasn't brave enough to try them. He says he doesn't know enough about snails to say if they were good quality or not. I ordered homemade lasagna for my meal and he ordered salmon on ratatouille. Both dishes were substantial and tasty. My lasagna had a hint of cinnamon which seemed a bit odd, but it was delicious. The restaurant has lots of bistro tables on the sidewalk for people watching. If you are in the area, stop by and try it out! read more

Wonderful french cuisine. The staff is so friendly and speaks English. Best is this area!

Go here and eat duck in honor of Dr. Geffard. (All The Light We Cannot See) It is a lovely brasserie and I recommend it on its merits alone even if you don't love the book. read more

Visited twice during a weekend in Paris with my daughter. Firstly, the Monge neighborhood where the restaurant is located is very nice and safe. We stumbled upon it our first night, as it was ten minute walking distance to our hotel. The waiter, Menge, was very welcoming and his English was good enough to carry us since we speak like 5 words of French. We each started with the French Onion soup. They were huge and soooo comforting after a long travel day. I tried their chicken skewers which was served with quinoa. My daughter had their homemade lasagne which was to die for. I had a red wine and my daughter had a Nutella crepe for dessert which she said was the best crepe she'd ever had. On our second visit, our waiter's name was Ben. He remembered us from the couple nights before and was very warm and welcoming too. My daughter tried their farm chicken with mashed potatoes and I had the lasagne this time. My only nits about this place was that the first evening, the smell of cigarette smoke was a bit bothersome, especially for my daughter who has allergies. BUT, nearly every subsequent restaurant we went to also smelled of smoke...that's just Paris...they don't have non-smoking laws. We were pleased that there was no smoke smell during our second visit to Village Monge. Great little place with very nice, friendly staff and lots of comfort food style dishes to choose from! read more

Totally great neighborhood cafe. The staff are all extremely nice and very laid back. My husband and I both speak French pretty well, and they all were kind enough to speak back to us in French, which we always appreciate. After all, we aren't there to practice our English! :) We were there during the Olympics, so our teenaged son always wanted to eat there so that we could watch a bit of the games on their good, but not intrusive TV. Often the waiters would stand near and watch with us and we'd all make comments together. We felt very, very "at home" here. Regarding the food -- the daily ham sandwich specials, which are all around 5 euros are an outstanding deal. Their onion soup wasn't so great - but their Croque Monsieurs are fantastic! Excellent tap beer and coffee to boot. read more

Love the outdoor seating and the variety in the menu. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Try the sea bass ratatouille! It won't disappoint! read more

Quite a tasty meal. The saying stands true, every bar in Paris is better than all the tourist traps. The lasagna and the Seguin Salade were both quite good. This brasserie uses copious amounts of honey in their food which is greatly appreciated. That is a nice, moderately priced meal in Paris. read more

Ate here the first night in Paris. Staff was very friendly and patient of me when trying to speak French. Good food and big portions. Prices were not outrageous. read more

This place is convenient to the Natural History Museum. Staff was welcoming and efficient. Food? Not so good. We had the kids split a pasta plate ... we tasted it and it was just gummy and flavorless. I had a seafood salad plat and the missus a salmon salad entree. They were almost identical both very tired smoked salmon. Don't seek this place out. read more

Best place to have breakfast (while staying at the Hotel Maxim one block away) for 14€ we had the best omelette I've ever tasted, croissants that melt in your mouth, fresh squeezed oj, baguettes still warm from the oven and excellent coffee while you watch the neighborhood wake up outside. read more

They have excellent salmon with vegetables and wine selections. There's also a lot of outdoor seating, so you most likely will not need to wait. The waiters are a bit intolerant of people who don't speak French, but they provided decent service anyway. Pricing is quite reasonable as well especially their fish specials. Overall a really pleasant place to stop for a quick meal if you're staying in the Latin Quarter. read more

We were starving, and it was our first time in the neighborhood, so we stopped in the first place we saw (since we were in kind of a large group, it was hard to protest). While my cheeseburger was very delicious, it cost me 16 euro, which to me is unacceptable. Furthermore, when it came time to pay the bill, it did not include tax which we had to add on ourselves. This made the food even more expensive. Its clearly a tourist trap and I would not recommend going there, only because you can find equally good food for lower prices. read more
