    We found this gem because it was close to our hotel room. It was our first cafe in Paris and it did not disappoint. We stopped in for breakfast and had croissants, baguettes and espresso. It was beyond words. The staff knew enough English to help us along and we're super friendly. We liked this place so much we decided to go back for drinks and again service was really great. They did a cheese and meat plate for us( it wasn't on the menu but they made it for us anyway). It was fantastic!!!! We left Paris and we just loved this place. We highly recommend it.

    Raw chicken! Cooked chicken on the fork. You can clearly see the difference in colour and texture.

    Don't come here. I ordered a chicken burger and half way through I noticed the meat was raw so I called the waiter and they told me that it's not raw and it's just the type of chicken they use. I explained to them and showed them that the meat was clearly raw but the waiter refused to accept it and just said I can't explain it because my English is bad. Worst service ever and the food is awful. The chicken was bland, the fries were soggy and unseasoned, the avocado was not fresh, the burger bun was worse than a fast food restaurant and I had to pay €20 for a raw chicken burger. If I could give this place zero stars I would.

    Serving up light fare salad; savoury tartes with side salad and fries for lunch. Service is rest - friendly and causal. My salad was a little plain otherwise it is a nice bistro on Rue Saint Dominique.

    Was wonderfully Parisian. Felt dim and comfortable and was a great place to duck in out of the cold. The brunch was good. The chicken Caesar was mild, so avoid if you like a more pungent dish. Service was good and the space was super cozy.

    Get the "tequila, what else" mug. Get the berries for breakfast. Get the octopus salad for starters. Enjoy the style of it all. This bar is newly opened and as a neighbor I want them to stay. Nice team working there too.

    Great spot near-ish to the Eiffel Tower and away from the tourist cafes in the area immediately surrounding. The food was excellent.

    Great atmosphere. Good for intimate dinners. Menu is simple. Had dinner here with a few vacationers. All I can say is we had a great time.

The cocktails are very fun, and they even have a few beers here if that's your thing. The servers speak fluent English, and it is popular with foreigners, but it's not a tourist trap by any means.

    A friend recommended this place and Paris and the vibes are alluding, mysterious, and sexy. I found…read morea new drink I love I will try to make at home! So the little red door has a cute red door but the bouncer lets you in through another door (novelty observed haha). The man takes your jacket and umbrella (what a gentleman!) and sat us on the second floor. While the space between the couch and the seats were rather small, we were able to manage. I got the permaculture and resilience. The resilience is a club favorite and my favorite too! The way the sorghum, pineapple sage (syrup), pasquet cognac, and savanna rum all tied together was a blessing. I was going to get a third but I was tipsy by my second drink. My first drink was the permaculture and while I was considered it would be strong, it didn't seem strong to me. I love clarified dairy in alcohol so this was a win in my book. It consists of chestnut, butter, wakaze umeshu, avallen Calvados. The bar let's you stay for an hour but if you sit elsewhere, you can stay as long as you want. 5 stars and I hope to come back someday!

Unassuming, this cocktail spot in the 7th is a perfect start to a fun evening. My prescription began with an old fashioned coup tailored with "The One." Citrus vodka based classic. It was very good! The champagne foam on top was a first for me. Made the drink trendy I suppose lol. I hung out downstairs until I got hit on by a cute photographer, I'm engaged, so that's a no! But a good sign for single people. It's an environment that creates open conversations. I guess I wasn't done exploring when I ventured upstairs and sat right in between to groups of friends chatting. To my left what looked to be grad students talking about future career plans. They complimented my dress, very nice of them. And to my right a group of friends discussing the topic of dating men who like "going in the back door". One of the ladies seemed very against it but mentioned, "if he really wants to I will atleast one, but i do not prefer it." The mood is intimate and chic. Overall a great time!

Boyfriend turned on the flashlight on his phone to see the menu, as it is quite dark in the bar, but was asked to turn it off by the obnoxious bartender. She said it was too "aggressive" to use actual light to see the menu. He turned it off, and I used the background light from my phone to make out the drinks on the menu. All of them were very "stylish" and expensive, with a lot of unnecessary ingredients. When a table opened up, we moved to it with our drinks. We decided to just have one cocktail, then bail to go to a friendlier, less complicated place. The waitress for our table had an attitude and was just plain rude. Never going back.
