Service and food was outstanding. Vibe lovely. I highly recommend it. Why 3 stars? Well, I selected it because it had a 25 dollar prix fix lunch menu, except, it did not. So what? The cost of travel, c'est la vie. I ordered the 35 euro plus meals with an appetizer and some wine and dessert. Something was lost in translation because somehow I ended up paying over $277 for lunch because apparently when I asked for a half carafe of wine I received a full bottle of extremely expensive wine which I was very definitely NOT looking to do with my 18 year old daughter and mom. In fact, I was at the end of my rope with travel costs, so I really did not appreciate having a rare wine added to my bill - generally in France the service is pretty upfront about that kind of thing in my experience - and I was a waitress in Paris once myself. I loved the waiter, I loved the restaurant and the food was very good. I just wish he had clarified the wine before pouring because it was a huge shock. Also, I ended up handing the bottle away to a store owner an hour later because I could not drink it nor carry it around,.

Great restaurant by the Jardin du Luxembourg. I sat outside and had a great time. I started with the shrimp appetizer which was my favorite thing I ate during my whole vacation in Paris. The portion was small but it packed so much flavor! The risotto was also creamy and perfectly cooked. The staff spoke English and were very friendly.

Asparagus starter

Delicious food, artistically presented, with a hard-working staff. The asparagus starter was subtle and wonderful, the veal was magnificent, and the chocolate fondant was fabulous. I highly recommend this restaurant. Best meal I've had in Paris in many years.

We found this restaurant on our first afternoon in Paris. Wonderful, friendly service. Our server, Henri, was gracious, charming, and forgiving of our lack of French fluency. We sat outside and enjoyed a delicious white wine, farmers chicken, and chicken caesar salad. Definitely recommend.

Sweetbreads.

Loved it !!! I rarely give 5 stars to non-Michelin starred restaurants, but honestly we had a great lunch at Georgette on May 1st. Food: - all dishes we ordered were excellent. I went for the sweetbreads ... FAN-TAS-TIC. - dessert "ile flottante" ... yummy :) - solid wine list Service: - staff was super kind - we arrived right before kitchen closed at 2.15pm, and staff was super accomodative Atmosphere: - cute decor - tables outside for those spring sunny days !

I liked the look and feel of this restaurant. It was an upscale brasserie, and our waiter was very sweet. The appetizers were AMAZING. I'd go back just for those. Both were so delicious and much more creative & imaginative than I would have expected. My entree was straightforward (farm chicken and mashed potatoes), but well-prepared & seasoned, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only disappointment was the desserts. I ordered the Georgette Brest (a play on the Paris Brest, which I love) so I was thrilled to find this on the menu. But it was bad - tasted like a refrigerated, stale pastry. I had two bites and couldn't eat beyond that. A bad dessert in Paris is unheard of! A disappointing end to the meal. But other than the desserts, I did enjoy this restaurant.

A wonderful meal when in Paris and a true Parisian experience. I had the gazpacho and Cesar salad--both were very fresh and delicious. The gazpacho was especially creative in flavor and taste. My husband got the quintessential steak and frites. Both were good except the steak (ordered medium-rare) came out well done. I would have returned it but my husband likes steak on the spectrum of rare to well-done. He's much more easy going than I am. Service was excellent and you can speak English to the waitstaff if need be. This seemed like a neighborhood restaurant yet still accommodated tourists. Note: no English menu. Well we didn't ask so not sure if this is a fact. Overall, this restaurant is a good value for your money. It's closer to a 4-Star in terms of food but good service goes a long way when you're in Europe! So 5 it is!

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. 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. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

I have mixed feelings about Bistro des Augustins. On the one hand, it provided me some of the most…read morecomforting and delicious food that I enjoyed in Paris. On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.

Vibey 30 somethings and those of us tourists that have begrudgingly figured it out. It is close quarters inside, but when in Rome. My bestie from middle school and I shared the escargot (bless you) pasta, which was delicious, and the duck, which was exceptional. We split a very fairly priced bottle of wine and ended the night with the scoop of mousse. If they could figure out how to do that intravenously, that'd be great. The mousse reminded me of a great guilty pleasure, which is eating straight out of the can of Duncan Hines chocolate frosting (ask me how I know, I do this often, going to rebrand it to me being European).

The menu features French classics and there are vegetarian options. To be honest, maybe I'm not the best to right this review because French food isn't my favorite - regardless, my main complaint is just that the food lacked the extra flavor I was hoping for but it was still solid. The Ravioli Dauphine was perfectly cheesy, just needed some extra salt. The Chickpea Fries and Warm Goat Cheese were nice starters, and I liked the bread basket that was given freely - especially the inclusion of a walnut raisin bread. NOW, the star of the show and the reason you're probably here: the Chocolate Mousse. Yes it is worth the hype. Only complaint - we had some leftover and they refused to box it for us.
