We like Aux Trois Mailletz - but lets get some basics out of the way…read more 1) You are in the heart of the tourist district. Aux Trois Mailletz is in the Latin Quarter right across the river from Notre Dame. The only way to have more tourists around you is to go to the Eiffel Tower or to stand in front of the Mona Lisa. 2) French Urban planners have done the maximum to make this district look like the Paris tourists want Paris to be. Parisian urban planners have long been expert in impression management. See for example the Hotel de Ville which was intentionally built in a style 100 years older than when the building was constructed - so it would look "Traditional and Ancient" from the minute the building opened. * * * None of the above means Aux Trois Mailletz is bad. We drank here rather than ate here ... So I have no idea if the food is marvelous or terrible. A lot of Yelpers love the kitchen here. But I DO know two definite things. 1) The cafe is just opposite from Saint Julien le Pauvre. Saint Julien le Pauvre is an old and intimate church. It looks adorable. Significantly, it has some of the best acoustics you could ask for ... Which makes it a primo location for classical music concerts. If you are anywhere near Aux Trois Mailletz, Go across the street or get on your phone and see if they have concert tickets for your night. If they do, it will be well well worth it. 2) Aux Trois Mailletz is a piano bar above and beyond being a French cafe. The pianist puts a ton of classical music into the mix. Chopin figures heavily in his play list. Getting drunk on Armagnac, while listening to Chopin, and eating French snacks? What's not to like? * * * If you want to join the fashion police, You can comment on the 300,000 million tourists going by the cafe. Making witty comments about the passers by is one of the best games in town. Doing so while drunk is thirty times better. The street will give you unlimited amounts of first rate material for your finest jabs and snark. * * * So whether you a) eat, b) drink, c) listen to music in the cafe, d) listen to music in the church across the street, or e) show your moral superiority to everyone within one mile of where you are sitting ... A fine time can be had at Aux Trois Mailletz. Life is too short not to have fun.

Great place to have drinks and listen to live music. Highly recommend and would definitely visit…read moreagain.

We started our meal off with focaccia and it had a light addition of Parmesan, it was delicious! We also had the branzino and a truffle pasta that I'll dream about. The truffle pasta was again, probably one of the best I've ever had! We ended the meal with an espresso.

We started with the Carciofi Alla Romana (Roman-Style artichokes, oven-baked with lemon, Parmesan, white wine & basil). Then came my pasta dilemma: spicy Penne Arrabbiata which had a Spicy tomato sauce with garlic (safe bet) or Linguine Al Pesto Verde with dry tomatoes, fresh zucchini, homemade pesto verde, confit lemon & pine nuts (tasty risk). I chose the latter and let me tell you, that Linguine might just be the best pasta I've ever had in my life! SERIOUSLY, and I've had plenty. The only tragedy, is I was so full I couldn't finish, and my hotel wasn't equipped with a fridge or microwave to let me relive the magic via leftovers . We wrapped the night with strawberry sorbet and the Crema Al Limone, sweet, tangy, and the perfect finale. So if nothing more, here's a reminder to stop playing it safe, "travel is to LIVE!"

Oh what a cool jazz/live band bar. We stumbled upon this after checking out Harry's New York bar…read morenext door, and we were so glad we did. The whole place has a cool vibe and the band played both French and English songs. The crowd was lively and sang along. Some even danced (in the small space). There's seating along the walls but most people stood to groove along with the music. It was so fun we went back the second night and brought our friends, which made the place even smaller and the night even more fun! Check this place out if you are touring through Paris for a late night jazz bar.

It came out super hot, I actually burned my mouth a bit, but honestly it was worth it. Every spoonful just worked. The steak was perfect too, super tender, juicy, and that herbal butter on top mixed with wine gave it this extra kick that made the whole thing feel special. The place itself is kinda small but cozy, and we didn't have to wait at all. Service was quick, friendly, just good timing. It felt like one of those meals where everything just clicks without trying too hard.

Also ordered an appetizer of avocado & shrimp. It was artwork on a plate, you can tell it was freshly made. I had a Tai punch that literally almost knocked me out but worth it.
