We were desperate for a spot to eat dinner before climbing the Arc de Triumphe and this place worked great. It wasn't the best meal we had the whole trip by any means, but it got the job done. Our favorite dish we ordered was the chicken burger. It was so good! The Caesar salad was just ok - not enough chicken on it at all. The location is great if you're visiting the Arc! read more

Just stopped here to grab a bite and the food was fantastic! We had a burger, chicken burger and croquette madame. It comes with salad and fries and was very reasonably priced. Kids loved it. It was so good. I definitely recommend this place plus a nice view of the arc! read more

After a visit to the Arc De Triomphe, we were unable to find the restaurant we were looking for and instead stumbled on Le Vin Coeur. Unfortunately. It was one of the worst restaurants we've ever visited. Major issues noted below. I was looking to order a beer (which they served) and asked for a pale ale/amber beer. The waitress had no idea what I was talking about. After providing our meal, the waitress never came back to the table to ask whether the meal was OK or whether we needed anything. The food was mediocre at best. When the waitress brought the check, she also brought the device for the credit card. Unbeknownst to us, the waitress had added 5 euros to the check amount on the credit card device so that she received a 5 euro tip. I asked her why the device showed 5 euros more than the check amount and she said that was her tip. Basically, she tried to pull a fast one over the customer. Since she tried to do this without our knowledge, I told her that she deserved no tip and entered the exact check amount onto the device and she received no tip (which is what she deserved). Wouldn't be surprised if she does this to every customer. Stay away from this restaurant at all costs. read more

Breakfast! Cafe, bagettel, juice, pastry and cereal. Love the decor. Wine, wine everywhere yet no wine for me in the morning. Just at the metro before a long journey east on the RER. Energy for the day! #Bestwaytostarttheday read more

Le Vin Coeur - Breakfast... - French Near Me - Paris, 75

So many options, just walk a bit and find something else. Service was so bad. We didn't get a couple of things we ordered. Food was meh. Our experience was that if you spoke French in this heavily touristed area you had a different experience in that your food came and came quicker. This place is perfectly located right by the Arc so I understand why it's populated. Walk a block and do yourself a favor. read more

Meh. I got the French Onion soup. It was oddly sweet. I have had better at La Madeline in the States. For an entree, I went with the Caesar Salad which came with grilled chicken and it proved to be a decent, fresh choice. It was big and tasty. The croutons was tiny and not too hard which can be good for those who hate breaking down the big ones. Service was below average, slow and impersonal, perhaps the French way? But I have had great service experiences here too so I don't know. It all comes down to management and each waiter's personality. read more

This was my first taste of incredibly bad Parisian service. My husband & I ordered: - Escargot, Duck & Pasta, & Pork Ribs. Service was exceptionally slow in general and what we thought would be a quick meal turned into 2 hours which messed up our itinerary. I also wanted to be seated inside, away from all the smoke, but that didn't help since the smoke crept through all the crevices. We waited ONE hour for our entrees & my pork ribs were COLD... like refrigerator cold & microwaved for only a minute. It was shame because the outside parts that were warm, were REALLY good! What were they doing the whole time? The duck & pasta was ok, but not the greatest. The only saving grace was the escargot. It was my first time having escargot and thankfully my husband & I really enjoyed it. The garlic butter sauce was excellent! Overall, if you're just getting escargot, enjoy! If not, definitely try to find somewhere else. read more

Where do I even begin.. WE found this wonderful place while walking up from ave rue carnot fro our hotel to cross over to the champs de elysees. A few things really drew us in; the ambience which was a very relaxed bistro, the almost crowded space, and yes, the chalk menu outside the door was in english. Our server was very nice, she started us off with some french wine options and she made sure that she answered all of our questions especially the fact that it was our first meal in Paris. Our french was very minimal but she spoke prefect english which really made us at ease. Some of the items we ordered: Escargot:came in a sizzling plate covered in parsley and garlic butter. Burnt my tongue a few times but it was so good! not slimy nor griny compared to the other places we went to. We used the baguette to soak up the garlic butter after all the snails were gone:) Fois gras: thick loaf-sized slices of fatty fatty duck liver with a side of apricot preserves and sea salt with a few pieces of toast. I can't even begin to describe the freshness and creaminess of the fois gras that I have never had ever before in the US. OMG. We even dipped the pomme frites in it and that was a big delicious mistake; because it made it more addicting! not bad for 11 euros! I had the chicken in white sauce, and my friend had the lamb chops which were all amazing. we had a such a lovely expirence that we came back the next night for dinner and then the following morning for breakfast! If you are ever in the area, skip the expensive restaurants by champs de elysees and walk a couple of blocks over to rue carnot. I can't wait to come back to this bistro the next time I'm in Paris. Trust me, you'll be coming back for more-just like me. read more

Great find! Location is excellent! You get a nice view of the Arc if you eat outside. Traditional French service, not fast food, don't expect them to rush your meal. They will seat you, provide a menu, then give you a few minutes to figure out your order. Food is decent, not outstanding, price reflects more on the location rather than the quality of the food. Nevertheless the food is good. Portions are decent. The staff will make sure you are taken care of. Expect to take over an hour and a half from seating down to leaving. All the appetizers are good, burgers are overpriced but their steaks are excellent. Their children's menu is limited to chicken breast or cheeseburger. All their desserts are great! read more

Came by purely to enjoy a fine glass of champagne and some ice cream for my daughter. Nice relax scene, very fast service and very good cup of espresso. Waiter was nice to include small plate of cookies for a quick snack. Seems like no matter where u eat or drink at, its always good. read more

Not bad. 75 Euros for a party of 3. We ordered a 20 euro bottle of wine, 3 entrees and an appetizer. The Escargot was good. The steak tartare was good, the burger and the salmon was not bad, but the rest is not great either. Comparing to the other restaurants close by, its ok. If you happen to pass by it or is close by, I would recommend it. But to really head to this place just to eat, maybe not. read more

We liked the food here so much that we came a second time while we were on vacation. The food here is tasty and nice on the eyes. The customer service is fast and attentive. The House Dressing for the salad is a must try. The Pomme Frites are good with the House Salad dressing. 1st Night: We ordered Steak Tartar. It was marinated full of flavor and had the same texture as Sashimi. 14.50 euros 2nd Night: We ordered the St Pierre fish and Double Burger. The Burger was massive. Cooked medium to perfection. Juicy and flavorful. The fish is native to French restaurants. The fish was good. 50 euros total for 2. read more

This was the perfect place for my first meal in Paris. I wasn't too hungry so I just wanted what I call the Paris tri-fecta. A cheese platter, along with french bread, and a gorgeous red wine suggested by the staff. The service was great, location was awesome. I took pictures of the arc before the sun went down, had dinner, then went back for the evening shots. Although this is probably common in Paris, the most fun I had was watching a lady as she walked in the Mens and Ladies room, there's a private toilet for each sex, but the urinal is in the common area along with the bathroom sink. It was hilarious to watch one of my fellow tourists, walk in, and about three seconds later, walking out with bug eyes because someone was in the common area! ;) Magnifiq! I will be back again! read more

Le Vin Coeur - Perfect first meal in Paris, you get french bread, french cheese and french wine! The tri-fecta! - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Nice location with lots of activity on the street in front. The escargots were good and the mustard sauce on the chicken was amazing. Poor service though. Server brought one entree 20 minutes after the first one, didn't bring the butter we asked for for their great French bread, and no ice for our water despite asking for it! When he brought the crem brûlée we ordered to share he brought only one spoon! Bad service spoils good food all over the world! read more

What a gem! We stumbled upon this place while trying to find a place for dinner that wasn't too crowded, and we're glad we did. The waitress (Victoria) was kind and attentive, prices were reasonable (41€ for the meal, including two glasses of wine), and food was great. We had the tortellini with cream sauce and the French onion soup; both were delicious. read more

This shit sucks. Came here for dinner and we are American so they legit ignored us the whole time. My brothers burger was raw and everything is lowkey crusty. Service sucks and food is bleh. There are so many other places around here that are better. Don't go. McDonalds slaps compared to this. read more

nice restaurant near the arc de triomphe. i had the onion soup and fries, both were good! we sat outside which was pleasant and our server was nice. likely a bit overpriced/touristy but nothing i wasn't expecting so near the arc de triomphe. read more

I didn't have high expectations for this commercial-looking wine bar just past the Arc de Triomph. My boyfriend was ravenous, and we were looking for a cheap-ish meal and a place to watch the football game, so we stopped here to grab a bite to eat after basically walking the entire Champs-Elysées. Granted, I did order a cheeseburger, which is decidedly not French cuisine. But, I was hoping for something a little more substantial than what quite frankly looked like something found at McDonald's. The service was also less than satisfactory - our waitress was rude and distracted throughout the meal. Everything was slow, and the staff were preoccupied with the football game. But, bonus points for being a great example of French culture! The patio was packed with people having a drink and watching the game, and it was great being immersed in that, despite having a mediocre meal along with it. read more

This seems to be an 'in' place with the crowd as it is relatively close to the Arc de Triomphe on Carnot avenue. It is a popular place. Lots of smokers on the outside patio that is heated in the winter. You can't get away from the smokers - get used to it. They were very pleased that we asked "Parlez vous Anglais?" even though they spoke perfect English - just made mention that it was nice that we even inquired! Food was very good and prices were reasonable - for Paris. We had the lamb chops and the Sole - both running at roughly 15-20 euros each. In Europe, you pay for bottled water - we always ask for water without gas - vitell. Good sized servings, good taste, easy access and close to the Arc De Triomphe. read more

Went here for our first traditional French dinner. For the most part, our food was delish, especially the escargot (first time eating them!). I also had the lamb knuckle which was HUGE and also good. The reason I'm giving this place a 3 vs. a 4 is my husband got the steak which was 30€ but tasted like it was €10-15 at most. Service was excellent though. And the crowd was fun with a lot of locals. I would still recommend it. Just don't get the steak! So, I asked to take home the food, which my husband thought I was weird. But I wasn't letting that lamb go to waste! The server gladly said yes and packed the food up. The next day, when I went to eat it, they only put the cous cous...no lamb?! My husband joked and said "see...no one asks to take home their food in France, so he didn't know what to do." read more

OK can I say Deliciousness!!! I and my Mom went on a day trip through Paris. We met a local Parisian cab driver who recommended this restaurant as one of the best in town. WE didn't have much time to dine in so we placed orders to go and returned for pick up. Can't say much about the drinks or the rest of the dishes there but I do know that the two dishes we ordered were AMAZING!! The Duck in potatoes braised in duck fat was the best tastiest and juiciest plate of Duck I had ever tried. I would take a trip back to the restaurant just to eat that all over again. My mom had the Salmon with some curry couscous which was very tasty as well. I couldn't decide which plate I wanted to keep on eating because they were both very very tasty. Did not realize when We were all through with the plates because they were so yummy. I would definitely be going back to visit on my Next trip to Paris. read more

Very polite staff. We had a waiter from Portugal who was very patient and explained to us everything to the best of his ability. I ordered a steak with foie gras on top with straw potatoes, which are oven roasted potatoes. Very good. However, "regular" was not medium as he had suggested but more well done. My hubby had the fish which was really good. We started with the escargot. Those were traditional and excellent. The croque Madame was just ok. The bread didn't really work with it. Overall, a pleasant experience. Oh, and don't get soda, go straight for the beer. It's cheaper!! read more

During our trip to Paris, I generally confined my reviews to places that were outstanding (like I was there to experience Paris, not write reviews). I made an exception here, because this place was on the ground floor of the apartment building where we stayed, and we wound up eating there three times. Our first meal was lunch the day we arrived, and we were honestly so hungry and tired as to preclude a meaningful review. I had to prop my head up to stay awake, but the sandwiches seemed pretty good. The second meal was an appetizer and drinks before dinner after a hard day of Paris sightseeing. The salmon tartare was quite tasty, although I could have done without the huge plate of fries that came with it. Our last meal was dinner on a night where we didn't want to go anywhere. I had a salad with ham (we seemed to get ham on everything here), but the diced pieces of ham had significant amounts of fat and gristle . . not a fan. My wife had the ribeye steak, which was average. My choice was the sea bass with Thai vegetables, which was recommended our server. The sea bass was really thin with a deep-fried crust, not how I'm used to seeing it; and there was nothing remotely Thai or Asian about the bowl of vegetables, which weren't even very good. I think we had creme brulee for desert. The wine list is decent, there is a full bar, and the staff speaks passable English, which was helpful. To quote Randy Jackson from American Idol, "it was just OK for me dawg." read more

My wife and I decided to stop by this place on our way back from a day of sightseeing. The food was OK, not bad not great, but toward the end of the meal my wife found a green squirmy worm in her meal! She almost threw up at the table. We called the waitress over and she was apologetic and took our food and came back to tell us that the manager said its okay, we don't have to pay and that whatever my wife wanted was on the house "champagne, wine, beer whatever you want" she said. We politely declined and told her we just wanted to leave. There must have been some sort of miscommunication because she left and came back with who i believe was the manager. He said "hi you don't want to pay?" And i said "no my wife found a green maggot in her food and the waitress told us our meal was comped". He chuckled at me smugly and told me that only my wife's meal would be free and i had to pay. I told him that's not what we were told and that we've had a bad experience and he was being extremely rude. He just laughed again and started saying over and over again"where are you from? Where are you from? I assume only to shame me that i am some cheap loud american? I told him it didnt matter where i was from, even mcdonalds would comp a check if someone found maggots in their food. He wouldn't give in, so i just paid. I didn't come to france to argue with assholes or be one myself. But i would caution anyone eating here, it may look inviting (most french restaurants have been so far!), but its a tourist trap with bland food and oh you might find worms in it. To which they could give a shit about. Cheers. read more

We went here based on trip-advisor reviews which can certainly be hit or miss. Le Vin Coeur is somewhere in the middle. Service was great, our waiter was extremely friendly, spoke english, and was very attentive. The food was ok, my wife and I may have ordered the wrong dishes but what we did have was nothing to write home about. We started with the foie gras terrine which was good and came in a generous portion. My wife was feeling like a salad and ordered the Chicken Caesar, which was essentially lettuce with mayo as dressing, whole sardines, chicken, and croutons. Not bad, not great. I ordered a burger which was also not bad, but not great. Menu was pretty extensive and it wasn't too expensive. We probably wouldn't go again but in their defense, we likely ordered the wrong items off the menu. read more

Great find on a horrible wet windy day. We were a party of 8 and only one spoke French. Between us we tried quite a few items, including duck confit, fish, steak and fries and for me a large salad Massif. My salad was delicious with a horseradish dressing. It had tomato, lettuce, lardons cucumber and beautiful prosciutto slices on top, with a couple of toasted cheese slices to boot. So tasty but so big I couldn't finish it. We finished with a range desserts including ice cream rum Sunday - with real rum- a chocolate fondant and a couple of tarte tartins. Price between us all came to 30 euro each, with included wine, a couple of bears and our entree of escargots. Good value I'd say and a wonderful friendly waitress who was very engaging and helpful. read more

Did not have a good experience at all. Ordered rib-eye steak, was extremely tough and sinewy, overcooked both times. Service was also not as would be expected, and waitresses had great difficulty communicating and understanding English - i had to use google translate to convey message. read more

We stopped here for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The salad's and the sea bass - plate were excellent and came with veggies- but with a little too much butter for my taste. We ate late in the afternoon so there was no problem with service. Good location near the Arch. I would recommend the place if you are in the area. read more

A very nice location, overlooking the Arc de Triomph. The neighborhood is nice as well as the street. On a sunny day you can us the terras. The food is very moderate at best and it's a touristy place. All in all not something to go to for a romantic nice dinner, but it does the job when it comes to having a quick bite. read more

The burger was delicious, however not the most visually perfect. Beer was okay, but the ladies didn't care for the house red. They said it tasted like it had been opened a while. The fries are fantastic! read more

Don't go here! This place demonstrated everything that is wrong with Paris: no one greeted us at the door, confused looking staff seemed bothered that we had five people to sit, wait staff ignored us for ten minutes, non English wine list, same old tired "French"dishes you can get anywhere. No bread basket. No water offered. And its loud (TVs blaring ), the last thing we needed after walking around Paris all day read more

Overall, the food is okay, but at the tourist tax prices for proximity the Arc, I would recommend eating elsewhere. But for the love of all that is holy do NOT order their French onion soup. It's basically Campbell's with a few pieces of baguette and a sprinkling of shredded cheese on top. It was embarrassing. read more

Had a great steak frites and mojito here after a long day of exploring Paris. The butter sauce on the steak was unbelievably tasty. I wish I had a bottle to take home with me. There was ample outdoor seating and it's a very close walk to the Arc de Triomphe. My only "con" was the service was a little slow in terms of putting in an order but food came out very quick. read more

This place was fantastic. For my time in Paris, this was the first time I had escargot and the second time I've ever had it. It was so garlicy and buttery. However, the real star of the show was the DUCK CONFIT. You have to get this! So far on my trip in Europe this was one of the best meals and the price was also great! €27 for a little escargot, some wine, an entree, and a great dessert! (The rum ice cream and chocolate mousse!) please go here. I have no idea why it is three stars! My waiter was so nice and the atmosphere is fantastic! I would definitely go back! read more

Service was way too slow. Cappuccino was luke warm. Baguettes were stale. Wouldnt go back. Aq

The food was not good. The duck breast was sliced thin with no fat and way over cooked. The 2 stars was only because the wait staff was very nice about working with our poor French. read more

Good food. Fish was tasty but the delicious sautéed vegetables were swimming in oil. Steak was good. Service was horrible. After being served a glass a wine I had to get up to ask the waiter to take our order. We waited a long time for the food. They brought the main course out and forgot to serve me my escargot. Asked for water and never got it. Had to get up to ask the hostess to have the waiter bring the check. Once he did, I had to find him to give him my credit card. He seemed nice but the service ruined the meal experience. Don't waste your time! read more

Good food, friendly staff who was willing to accommodate our poor French skills and tired/hungry children. The waiters made wonderful recommendations and all was right in the world! read more

This restaurant single-handly made me question whether I actually like Paris. Service was slow and food was mediocre to bad. My husband and daughter had fish, which was decent, but the 'risotto' was mushy and gross. My other daughter and I ordered steaks. I know, probably a bad call. Many pieces of chewed (and chewed and chewed some more) steak were spit out or not attempted at all. Service was very slow. I ended up super irritated and disappointed - I felt duped and ripped off (nobody asks 'but Madame why did you not eat your dinner?'; but that is probably a French thing). We really should have researched more; the two restaurants we did want to visit nearby were closed because it's August, so we ran into this place totally starving. In hindsight we should have ventured further away from our hotel. Stupid tourists we are :( read more
