French Onion Soup
Vadim B.

Excellent food, quick friendly service, authentic feel! During our 6 days stay in Paris Follie's happened to be just one block away from our Airbnb. We discovered it on a second day when we stopped for dinner and liked it so much that paid another visit 2 days later :) Both times we sat outside, watching passers-by. The service was quick and super friendly. The food was very fresh and delicious on both occasions. We highly recommend Paris Follie's if you are in the area! Food ordered Neapolitan Salad French Onion Soup - excellent Beef Tartare - delicious on taste, flavor, and texture. My son who never tried beef tartare before fell in love with the dish and kept ordering it in different places on subsequent days. Duck Confit - best we had during our stay in Paris. Roasted Chicken - fresh and juicy. Crème Brûlée Nougat Ice Cream

Terrine de campagne
Rie U.

Great local eatery with some of our favorites like escargot, terrine de campagne, and duck confit. Staff there are very welcoming and friendly--even to those of us who speak French tres mal. So, more about this duck confit...bc what else is better?! First things first, it's €12 and change for something so delicious, so just get it. Also, duck fat is healthy fat (ngl, I didn't read past that sentence on WebMd). The skin was perfectly crispy and the meat tender and juicy. We came back here on our last night bc it was right around the corner from our hotel and we didn't feel like paying tourist prices for the same dish somewhere in the 8th Arr. The service was just as great as the first time and everything was tasty, yet again!

This restaurant is close to our hotel Elysees Union. We went there twice, once for dinner and once for breakfast. The place is small and dark with tables are close together. The menu has almost everything you want to eat and the prices are quite inexpensive, no wonder it's crowded when we got there. It seems like a lot of local people eat here. This is the first time I try French Tartare (ground raw beef), it's not like carpaccio, it's a little weird to taste at first, like raw burger. I did not finish the portion because it wasn't tasty like carpaccio. The onion soup is excellent, I really like this one and my daughter too. It's the best I've tasted so far in any restaurants. My wife duck leg (normally duck breast in wine sauce) is extremely tasty, they marinated just right and tender because it's dark meat. She liked it a lot. My daughter had the chicken leg that was quite tasty, she liked it a lot. In France we have to try escargots and we did, very tasty and tender, excellent dish. The baguettes are so good that we keep asking for more LOL. The drink was excellent. The wine wasn't as good as NAPA. The next morning we tried the breakfast special for $15 euros and it was nice, coffee, orange, eggs and bacons, the bacons were not crispy as in the State, but the eggs were so good. The service here is very good, people are quite attentive and fast. We will definitely come back here again when we visit Paris for the second time.

Food was not that bad, but the service was really off-putting. The waiter served us was really rude. I do not know if it was because of my race. Did my Asian face make me look like a fool? The waiter made us wait for a long time after we take the seat, looked very impatient when taking our order, even yelling at us ' you are not the only one in the restaurant' when we were only trying to tell him that we are ready for dessert. Well, even if you were overwhelming, that's not my fault, and cannot be the excuse of losing basic manners. Or maybe you think the experience of non-French travelers should be the last to be considered? I feel Paris as a beautiful and welcoming city, but that could possibly be the worst part of my trip. I wish they could do things better next time.

Hot Chocolate
Arn L.

We visited Le Follies for our last meal in Paris before heading to the airport. We arrived just after opening. We were warmly welcomed and seated. We told the waiter we all wanted the Breakfast Special which included Hot Chocolate, Baguette and Jam, Fresh Squeezed OJ, 2 Eggs, Sausage, and Bacon. Everything was delicious. Our baguettes were freshly baked. The Hot Chocolate and OJ were made and squeezed right in front of us. The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. I recommend this place. My only regret was that we never came here for dinner. I'm sure it would have been a hit!

Duck confit
Wendell Y.

The duck confit was as good as anything we've had on this trip! Lovely little place with good vibes.

Tea and croissants
Holly W.

Walking toward the Arc? A little thirsty? We stopped in! What were we looking for at 10am? Beers, tea & croissants of course! Our man bun Parisian bartender hooked us up with their last croissant. I had a tea and my husband kept up with his European beer quest while on vacation. We sat next to the windows and felt very European at this stop. Watched Paris function on a Tuesday as I sipped my tea and looked through the window. Our bartender even showed up with a juice for our daughter, which was very kind of him. We sat. We chatted. We enjoyed our time at the Follie's and kept heading toward the arc.

Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
William C.

Best food and the bread was fantastic. The prices in Paris are not that bad. The rumor that French are rude isn't true.

Chicken with mashed potatoes & duck confit, potatoes and salad
Noemy O.

Employees were nice and helped explain the menu as it is only in French. Food was delicious

Penne with tomato and basil and jambon.
Tracy B.

The waitstaff was friendly and super helpful to this newbie to Paris and non-French speaker. Very laid back. Food was served quickly and was good. Next time I will order something more adventurous as this was not. Great prices. For avid people watchers, not much going on early afternoon on a Saturday. This meal was 10.90€.

The Duck was delicious!

Oh my goodness, what a find! We stopped here for no better reason than our apartment was right…read morearound the corner and we were in the mood for a nice French lunch. Such good luck! I started with the free-range eggs with mayo, and my wife started with the leeks with vinaigrette. The eggs were delicious, but the leeks may have been the best preparation I've ever had in my life. For our main courses, she had the egg muffin, and I had the sausage and mash. Our meal was superb. Whoever is in the kitchen has clearly learned the art of French cuisine well. Service was fantastic, the people-watching (we ate al fresco) was fantastic, and I simply couldn't think of a way to make this a better meal.

How was flying out Charles de Gaulle Airport the next day and I just arrived from Frankfurt Germany…read moreby train when I looked up a French restaurant near the Gard du Nords train station and found BB. Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. 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. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining. Cheers!

My expectations for Café Mademoiselle were low. It was late in the lunch hour and the place I…read moreinitially chose was already closed. Café Mademoiselle was nearby, had a sidewalk full of diners, and I grabbed a table quickly, fearful of getting shut out of lunchtime offerings entirely. I should know better than to order a salad in Paris. Not that they'e bad, simply that they're quite different than California salads. Quite different and not as appealing in my opinion. But another dish was also ordered at my table, an unusual choice for the two of us dining there. It was a special of the day, Araignee de Porc (23€), and not something I'd personally have chosen. It was delicious. French chefs know what to do with this cut of meat (pork) and I was wowed. The salad (Salad Nicoise, 23€) was almost forgotten as the pork dish took center stage. Service here is terse. The restroom is down a steep flight of stairs. The place serves many tourists, and does so in a manner that doesn't inspire one to harbor overly fond memories. But here's the recipe for success: find out what the chef's special is that day and order that. That's how you do Café Mademoiselle.

The onion soup is delicious!! And finish off with crème brûlée…read more I have gone back every time I have visited Paris. It is a great lunch spot if you are out walking around.

We came here on a Wednesday evening for jazz night and absolutely LOVED the ambiance. It was our…read morelast night in Paris, and we wanted a special dining experience - and being inside the historic Ritz itself definitely delivered. The hotel is so regal and beautiful, with something to admire around every corner. That said, the jazz night itself was nothing particularly special in my opinion. We had dined at the Ritz in London a week earlier, and that was a truly quintessential jazz experience, complete with live performers, dancers, and a singer. Unfortunately, the experience in Paris didn't compare. The drinks, however, were 10/10! They even created a special cocktail just for us based on our preferences, and it was SO good. If you're looking for a beautiful place for drinks, I would absolutely recommend this. But the dinner... OMG, just a big NO. We started with a few salads, and for our mains we ordered the steak and the lobster pasta. Unfortunately, both were incredibly disappointing, and I could barely finish my dish. For a hotel of this caliber, I was honestly shocked by how underwhelming the food was. All in all, the setting, the historic hotel, the beautiful atmosphere, and the overall experience made for such a special evening. I just wish the food had lived up to everything else.

Don't come here with a budget. This was bougie meal and it was a lovely experience. Great service…read more This is a rare 5/5 for me. I don't give those out lightly. First off, this is an iconic historic hotel. Beautiful location at Place Vendome. My friend and I were hungry and on a weekday night and randomly walked in and were promptly seated. I'm not sure how it normally goes here regarding wait times and reservations. The French onion soup and lobster rolls were divine. The server would walk around with a bread box and would bring the whole box to the table and you could pick from there. We had cereal bread and an onion focaccia. Amazing! They gave us complimentary chocolates too. The vibes and ambience are immaculate. It looks like a classic fancy restaurant. There was a piano player too! They gave us a little chair for our purses. This was a lovely Parisian experience. Highly recommend.
