    Remarkable duck and unforgettable steak and marrow with potatoes to die for. We only went once and cannot recommend it enough!
    Chris H.

    My wife and I had a fabulous time here on the trip we took for me to propose. The steak dish served with bone marrow is something I still dream about, and my wife feels the same about the duck and the wine (Santenay Clos des Gatsulards 2015 Louis Jadot Domaine Gagey)! Simply amazing and very memorable. Worth the wait! (On a crowded night we waited about an hour -- but wandered and viewed the local church and beautiful Parisian streets until then)

    Came here on the first day of our trip! And it was not a disappointment! The servers were kind and helpful! We had ordered lamb and the their Beef bourguignon, which was tender!

    Absolutely the best meal we had in all of Paris! I had the lamb shank and it was spectacular. My wife had beef bourguignonne and she was swooning. The owner was so friendly and we can't wait to go back!!!

    Lamb chops

    Very quaint and small restaurant that seats at max 30 people. Service was good and the food was tasty. My friends loved the lamb chops and steak with bone marrow while I enjoyed the beef bourginuon but felt the wine needed to be cooked out just a bit more. Very tasty otherwise.

    Bone Marrow, was seasoned perfectly

    I'm only giving this 4 stars because I'd have to go again to give it a 5. But I'll tell you it's a SOLID 4. There is very limited seating here so come early or wait patiently. It's definitely worth the wait. If you need an English menu they will provide you one and yes they do accept card. Now the food....we ordered the escargot it came without the shell in an amazing butter parsley sauce. The bone marrow we ordered did not disappoint it has amazing flavor and was plenty for two people, the goat cheese with honey..so good. My husband and I split the sea bass which came with a potato and a. Artichoke ratatouille. The bread that came to the table was warm and perfect for sopping up all the sauces. We ordered the basic rouge or red wine which was $17 a bottle. The service was amazing, the staff and owner checked in with us many times. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Our total bill was $77.

    Le Machon d'Henri is one of the best French restaurants I've tried in Paris! The service is kind and welcoming, and the food is amazing as well. I got the beef bourguignon which was super flavorful and tasted amazing with the fresh baguette on the side. The only downside to this restaurant is that there is very limited seating inside, so unless you have a reservation you will need to wait a long time. Nonetheless, I think the wait is worth it to try this place!

    Ribeye - PASS on this, the meat is very tough. The marrow is not good.

    Sadly, this restaurant was a huge disappointment. We saved this restaurant for the final dinner of our trip; the reviews and photos had us drooling all week and we knew exactly what we wanted. The ribeye, bone marrow and scalloped potato stack. We even got there early and waited outside for 30 minutes, growing even more anticipation. The first red flag which honestly I don't even know why I didn't say anything, maybe I was still stuck dreaming about the delicious food from the pictures. But we were originally going to sit inside which I sat down at but then our group decided to sit outside. The napkin and cutlery on the table had a huge dead mosquito on it. As if the mosquito landed on the napkin and someone killed it with the fork and just left it there. I thought good thing we decided to move tables! But I should've just took the sign and left. Bone Marrow Appetizer - I was moooooost excited about this one! But it was flavorless, the texture was not good, it just felt like I was scooping flavorless oily jello clumps. It was borderline gross. I can't say no flavor enough - no season, no char, nothing. We really wanted to like this and even ended up taking some salt and sprinkling it on each bite to help, which it did a little but then we felt like we were consuming so much salt. Ribeye plate - This meat is tough! Not tender at all. Maybe that's how it is in Paris but definitely not what I'm used to. Hard to cut, and so hard to chew. Such a disappointment. Same flavorless piece of bone marrow. The scalloped potato was not bad in comparison to the other items, but nothing special either. Pass on this place! Don't be fooled by the pics. Even the pics I posted look amazing, but it was honestly not good.

    The napkin.

    So after long day at Disneyland Paris and unable to catch a formal dinner because everything was fully booked. We decided to go back to the city to see what the food life is about. I had my mind set to go to Chez Fernand, a restaurant that I had heard of from a review on YouTube. When we arrived, it required a reservation and they were completely booked for the evening according to a male waiter. (Even though I saw a good amount of tables available inside and outside). Desperate for some food, my boyfriend saved the day by immediately finds a place literally across the street and from there began my love for the Le Machon d' Henri. I cannot explain how grateful me and my hangry stomach was when they said no reservation is needed. The atmosphere is small and cute with bottles of wine on the right side of the entrance. The waitress was super sweet and helpful and she assisted me to choose a wine for me and my boyfriend to share (he is not a wine drinker and he enjoyed it). This place has a personal touch so it's a wonderful place for you and your special someone. They immediately brought us water and a small dish of salami to the table to share. We ordered a bottle of wine and we shared a plate of bone marrow that came with wheat bread. Ughhh... So good!! The bone marrow had such a buttery taste with every bite! Sprinkle a pinch of salt for a razzle texture. Then we split a Beef stew dish which had meat, sliced carrots, mushrooms, and one more vegetable that I cannot pin point but it was delicious. Ughhh... So yum!! The beef was so tender and could easily be cut with a fork. I dipped my bread in the stew and put veggies and meat on top of it. My mouth is watering just writing about it.... I truly recommend this place to everyone. Quick note: We actually got to try the Chez Fernand and the bone marrow had a bit more flavor and was slightly better but not too much of a difference. However, the beef stew was far superior here at the Le Machon d' Henri and I mean superior!! The stew has a thicker consistency, meat was tender, not difficult to cut, and had more meat and veggies overall. If you're debating between Chez Fernand and Le Machon d' Henri, I would recommend Le Machon d' Henri overall. Food/ Drink 1. Bone Marrow with Bread (Appetizer menu) 2. Beef Stew 3. Rouge : Loteaux du Lyonnais AOE  (Wine) 4. Lamb chops with potatoes (We went for a second time) 5. Chocolate mousse (dessert) Perks: 1. No reservations 2. The waitress and service was super awesome. 3. Price was reasonable.

    My wife and I were in Saint Germaine in late October celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and were so fortunate our research for great boeuf bourguignon led us to Machon d'Henri Le. I had a fabulous bourguignon and my wife had a lamb shank that was slow cooked for 7 hours. Both were so wonderfully flavourful and so tender. The excellence of the cuisine was matched by the warmth and humour of the owner. A most wonderful dining experience at reasonable prices. Our thanks to the owner for making our second last night in Paris on October 23 one to be fondly remembered. Wishing you only the best. John Little, Victoria, BC

It was head and shoulders our favorite coffee shop in the City of Light, and we lowkey made our rounds. It's a small shop, but filled to the brim with life and passion. I'm normally not a pastry guy, but if I lived anywhere near Motors I would absolutely be a pastry guy. The cinnamon roll was light and delicate, as opposed to the overly sweet and dense ones I'm used to. We also got a vanilla pastry they were testing, and a sugar cookie with milk chocolate drizzled on top. Ugh, take me back, inject these into my veins. I got my goto hot black coffee, and you could taste the freshness of the beans. My girlfriend got a latte that had the most beautiful little flower art on it. How do they even do that? I'm proud of myself, as I knew even when we were sitting in here enjoying our pastries, hot coffees, and each other's company that this was a moment I would look back on and cherish. It's always great knowing it's one of those moments when you're actually in it. You can fully appreciate it. My one regret is that I didn't get the ladies name serving us, as she was so sweet, recommended great pastries, and was just a pleasant human being. They don't make em like sis anymore...

There was a lot on the menu that I was interested in and they had a number of different cuts of beef but I had to go with the Whole Duck Breast which is also a French classic which I got cooked medium rare but I'm perfect sure that's how they suggest it which is the right way like they do with all their beef too. Ashley and I also split the French Onion Soup. I will say by Duck was very good. Tasty rich sauce with crispy duck skin cooked perfectly. Some of the best duck I have had in awhile. I will say the French Onion Soup though was a little bland. I just didn't have that rich beef broth I am used too. Beside that everything was very good and would for sure recommend going to Café Blanc for a nice menu which amazing French options.
