    Interior of the restaurant
    Ariana B.

    My husband and I were a little wary due to the poor reviews but we had an excellent experience! The restaurant is gorgeous and the setting is so cute. Perfect for a romantic dinner in the evening. We had the French onion soup for an appetizer which was fantastic. For entrees, I had the steak and potatoes and my husband had the beef bourguignon. Both were super yummy! I had the cheese for dessert and my husband had the creme brûlée. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The service was amazing and our waiter was kind and attentive. We will absolutely be back when we are in Paris!

    Gristle on a 29 euro steak   Skip it.
    Yvonne G.

    Came back to this place because I was sucked in by the French onion soup. This time in the mood for a steak. So I ordered the $29 steak with frites. My companion ordered the beef bourg inon. The young waitress brought us two steaks orders instead of one. I told her hubby did not order the steak but she seemed so upset and over reactive to have made the mistake that I accepted her error. I kept the second steak. She never returned again to check on us as most servers do. It turns out she left for the day. Not once coming by to check on us despite the fact that we were the only two people dining at the time. The steaks were tough with gristle beyond the usual. With the waitress gone, I called the man in charge to show him the poor quality of the meat. His excuse was that this was ribeye and ribeye is very fatty. Not acceptable sir. I have eaten many rib eyes in my day and nothing compares to the garbage that was put on our plates. We spent 58 euros on these two insulting pieces of meat without the management even apologizing for this scam. Tread lightly with this place. This is just my opinion.

    French onion soup
    A C.

    Our first meal in Paris good but not great! The French onion soup is great! The escargot mediocre. The steak and frites absolutely awful! For 26 euro it was so chewy! Great flavor but not edible! The Ratatouille is great but small portion. Seems like a good local place but a bit touristy. So many other great restaurants I would pass!

    The set up is nice. It's right outside of the hotel where I'm staying. My waiter was very nice & could speak English which was a plus! The food was great the service was nice. The food came out in a timely manner! Great atmosphere! Clean and close to the hotel!

    Cute little French restaurant! A great location with lots of light from a sunroom like indoor seating area. The service was okay, not the most attentive though but the drinks were strong and the beef in the burgers were fantastic! Overall, a great experience!

    Outdoor seating/smoking near metro
    Anne R.

    Solid option right near the metro with continuous service throughout the day so you won't get caught with tricky hours. I arrived around 4:30pm before most other people and I was able to get bottled cider and onion soup for about 14€- so definitely tourist prices- but it was tasty and considering it's right next to the metro and Les Halles, it's an easily visible corner for people to meet up and share drinks or a meal together.

    Kid menu steak
    Charles N.

    There's a lot of restaurants around this area. The night before, we went to an excellent restaurant. We figure we try something different and this restaurant was really closed to our hotel. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good. Not even close. We wanted a ribeye steak. They only have one steak left so I had to order the caramelized pork. Luckily for me, the pork tasted better than the steak. It wasn't even a ribeye cut. It was a NY steak that wasn't tender at all. It was cooked more medium than medium rare. The mushroom linguine was okay. What's really disappointing is the kid menu steak. It wasn't. It was really a hamburger patty served with fries. They should have said a hamburger patty instead of calling it a steak. The creme brûlée was excellent. The service was excellent. The waiter spoke good English and was quite helpful. There are green light dishes for Thinsulin fans. Overall, I would not come back here. The food was just average.

    Prix-fixe breakfast
    Liz S.

    This was a pretty meh spot for breakfast. They had a prix-fixe deal with juice, coffee, and pastries, and it was one of the few places with any patrons around 10:30, so it fit the bill, but it was a bit of a tourist trap. Food quality was not great for the price; the croissant was decent but the bread seemed stale. The espresso and hot chocolate were fine. I'm not big on juice so decided to get the lemon-- it was literally lemon juice, like, pure and undiluted with seeds and all. Would anyone seriously drink this? One of the things that really turned me off was that the waitress had serious attitude; before she even seated us she was all rolled eyes and impatient breathing. Calm down, girl! It was nice to sit out in the square but otherwise you can skip this.

    The kids croque monsieur
    Kate A.

    Let me start by saying the service was great and they were very accommodating of my minimal French. However, the food was nothing special at all. I ordered duck and it was WAY over done. My husband's snails were okay but nothing special. My daughter's meal was also just so so. The food wasn't necessarily bad but with so many great food choices I would pass this one up.

    Ginger S.

    Very good service. We had the escargots and the lamb shank ratatouille. They were pretty good. Bacon cheeseburger was big.

    Holly C.

    The food was fresh and amazing. The 1/4 chicken was outstanding. The Cheese cake is how it should be everywhere. It had a hidden surprise of passion fruit in the center. Our server was attentive and had a great personality. Pierre is who you should hope to get as your server. I had a nice drink and the carbonara. Over all great last dinner in Paris.

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.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

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.

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

We were later offered a high-top table, but I explained that I had recently undergone knee surgery and could not sit comfortably at a high-top. The manager's response was simply that it was the only option available, and she walked away. We were told the preferred tables were reserved. When I asked if we could make a reservation for one of those tables, I was told no because the restaurant had just reopened. The entire interaction left us feeling unwelcome. A customer sitting at the bar even commented that he believed we were being treated differently and said it appeared the restaurant did not want us there. After waiting more than two hours just for the restaurant to reopen, this was an incredibly disappointing experience. The poor communication, lack of accommodation, and overall service were unacceptable. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

We headed to Chez Janou, a Paris institution. I hadn't been in years, but my son insisted we go back because, according to him, they have the best chocolate mousse in Paris. Judging by the lineup, half the city; and every tourist with an Instagram account showed up. Thankfully we had a 2pm reso. Here's the thing, though. Everyone talks about the mousse, but the food deserves just as much attention. I'd also forgotten how much I love the 3rd arrondissement. Wander a few minutes from the restaurant and you'll find beautiful art galleries, a gorgeous little park, and some of the best boutique shopping in Paris. It's one of those neighbourhoods where you accidentally walk 15,000 steps without realizing it. Now, here's your game plan. Start with the escargots or the gambas to share. For your main, order the farci provençal or the foie de veau. The farci is like a French version of a stuffed pepper: yummy comfort food with a southern coast twist. As for the foie de veau... I actually ordered it by mistake. I thought I was getting regular veal. Out came veal liver. Best mistake of the day. I love liver. My mom makes an incredible liver and onions, so I'm a tough judge. This was outstanding. Rich, buttery, perfectly cooked and perfectly salted. It was so good I immediately texted my mom and told her she's coming here the next time she's in Paris. Drum roll, please... The chocolate mousse. Was it worth all the hype? Yep. There are no fancy swirls or little artistic desserts here. A server simply walks over carrying what looks like a white industrial-sized bowl of chocolate mousse and casually drops a mountain of it onto your plate. Everyone grabs a spoon and starts digging in. It's wonderfully French. Simple. Unpretentious. Ridiculously good. So yes, Chez Janou lives up to the hype. But don't just come for the mousse. Come for the lunch, stay for the neighbourhood, and spend the afternoon getting happily lost in one of the best corners of Paris. That's a Friday well spent.
