    Right in front of Gare Du Nord train station
    Elaine Y.

    Beautiful restaurant right in front of the Gare du Nord and part of the hotel. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Our waitress spoke English not too well but enough to get our order going. The restaurant is fairly big. Tables were lined with white table clothes and white sconce lights were scattered on the wooden panels lining the walls. We ordered the fois gras, steak and frites $31, French onion soup $9, prawns $20 and beef tartare $22. All were really fresh and tasty. For dessert we ordered the il floatante $9, which is a French dessert for floating island, a marshmallow floating on vanilla cream sauce. Fairly sweet but still good. They also have set prices for 2 courses (starter and main or main and dessert) $23 or 3 courses for $29.50. Overall, a lovely decadent restaurant with welcoming and attentive staff, plus some great French food.

    As places to eat before getting on a train go, this isn't too bad. The mirrors and brass, and uniformed waiters go some way to recapturing the glamour of travel; the food is good, but not quite hitting the same pitch as more modern French restaurants in which Paris abounds. Still, if you're after a bit of ballast before a long train journey ( which you're happy sleeping through), you could do a lot worse than a lunch here ( think French onion soup or a terrine , a plate of oysters, then perhaps the choucroute- maybe a carafe of something?). The iles-flottante is also pretty spectacular. A wider range of opening hours than many other restaurants and bistro.

    I was pushing it a bit, going for a coffee before tackling the challenge of going through UK border control, but I had to have something before jumping on the Eurostar. This place wasn't all that flashy, and it was a little slow. The other thing is that the table service annoys me because I do like having a nosey inside. Still, I got my coffee, which really wasn't all that fantastic anyway. However, it worked out okay. The place is convenient, but not really that fantastic.

    I've been eating at Terminus Nord for over 30 years and thankfully very little has changed over that time. Terminus Nord is a classic French brasserie and has a menu that doesn't change much from season to season apart from the amazing fresh seafood and shellfish served during months with a "r" in them. I started with 6 escargots which same swimming in garlic butter. This was followed by an amazing Dover Sole which was massive, very tasty and very fresh. My companions enjoyed the classic French onion soup and a plateau de fruits de mer. The wine list is extensive and reasonable and the service very professional. I hope that Terminus Nord continues as is, and resists the temptation to change. It's terrific the way it is.

    This restaurant was conveniently located right below our hotel in Paris and my mom and I came here for wine and oysters during dinner time. Although the place was busy, we were seated within minutes. We ordered The oyster sheller's platter which came with 8 oysters and bread and although we only came for appetizers we were quite full! Our server was very friendly and our experience was pleasant!

    Right across the street from Gare du Nord - very convenient and doable if in transit. Classic Parisian experience with all the standards. Decor is 20's nouveau Art Deco with clear French motifs and a nice colored tile scheme. Unfortunately was by myself so could not partake the tower of seafood, but the small sampling I had - 6 cockles were incredibly fresh - on par with standards in Tokyo (where I live) and quality standards and high. For the main course, Magret Canard (duck breast) I ordered came not sliced but in a roast form - a pleasant surprise - and was perfectly done rose (they got it right sometimes a miss too far on the blu/red side). The fat was scored and crisped just right and blended beautifully with the meat and sauce. It was accompanied by long macaroni and a subtle cheese - not too heavy. All-in-all very nice meal - for those looking for a Classic French with the convenience being near the station, highly recommend!

    Had our last dinner here at this restaurant. It is just across the train station which is a pretty convenient location. Service was great. Food came on time. We mostly ordered from the set menus. I ordered the salmon avocado wrap, sea bass, and tira misu which was all delicious. I figured the seafood must be good as they had a vast variety of seafood displayed at the front of their restaurant. Oysters seem to be a must have there!

    Stayed here for three days while in Paris. Seemed like a regular hotel, and at least I got two robes since we had two adults in the room. They fulled the toiletries, but were not as good with re-filling the coffee cups, tea cups, the coffee and they couldn't even have enough conversion plugs in stock for us to use, hence I couldn't use my laptop on my trip and I had to eventually buy one across from the train lines. The room service food was not as good as I had expected, but all in all I would not mind coming back. I didn't love that they had a good complimentary continental breakfast, buffet style. It is a perfect place where you can enjoy as much as Paris and then hop on the train back to London within 20 mins.

    We dined here last night upon a recommendation from my wife's boss. This was a great little spot…read more Small dining area downstairs with a little spiral staircase leading up to 2 more small dining rooms. The staff was all very friendly and inviting and were happy to recommend their favorite dishes to us. My wife ordered a French onion soup and one of their famously large salads, which are served in these big bowls. I decided to try the chef's special, which was a beef tenderloin a la rossini (truffle sauce and foie gras). I'm not typically a foie gras fan, but I figured since we're in Paris that I'd give it a shot. I'm very glad I did because it was absolutely delicious. The steak melded perfectly with the truffle sauce and fois gras. This was all served with potatoes au gratin, and blanched green beans. Everything was perfect. I also ordered two large beers. A Grimbergin blonde and a Kronenbourg ale. I love how both beers were served in their respective brand's glasses. Such a nice touch. For dessert, we ordered an Apple Tarte Tartin, upon a recommendation from one of the staff. It was light, sweet, and served with some ice cream and créme fraîce. This was such a great dinner all around. Great food, great vibes, which all lead to a great evening. Would definitely recommend!

    Big disappointment this one. I bookmarked it based on all the positive reviews. Apparently I was…read moresupposed to order the big cheap salad with potatoes. It wasn't on the menu. For New Year's Eve they offered a special menu, 79 € per person. The host outside who convinced us to splurge for the special occasion said our kiddo wouldn't pay full price. Spoiler: that's not how it went. We were seated in back by the restrooms, with the sound of the hand-dryer serenading our meal. From what I could tell, apart from the staff, there wasn't a single French-speaking person in the whole place, a bad sign. For appetizers we had the escargots, which could have benefited from more garlic and butter, the foie gras, which was fine, and the smoked salmon, which was a generous portion, and very smokey. For my main, I ordered the duck in honey sauce, which would have been a good plate, served with salad, but for some reason they plated it with cold vegetables: green beans, bell pepper, and eggplant under congealing butter--Tasted like it was made ahead of time and they forgot to reheat it out of the fridge before scooping onto my plate. Total fail. My kiddo got the knuckle of lamb, which was fatty and gristly, although the mashed potatoes underneath were delicious, and my wife chose the fettuccine with shrimp and scallops, which were both overcooked and the scallops were crunchy, which was weird, served over way too much plain noodles. The desserts were good, but we paid over 240 € for three, with only one drink each, making it both the most expensive and also least delicious meal of our trip so far. Staff were friendly and attentive, and all addressed us in English, even though I'm fluent in French, which makes sense for a tourist trap. Would not recommend, unless maybe you just get the big cheap salad, seemingly that's what the 5-star reviews are for.

    **EXCELLENT WINES AND SIMPLE RUSTIC FRENCH CUISINE**…read more Wonderfully friendly staff. Welcomed immediately with a glass of red wine. Very small restaurant. No tourists; only locals and repeat French customers. We sat outside. ORDERED: *FOIE GRAS House made and simply DIVINE on freshly toasted baguette bread. I wanted to take a bath in this. OMG! *DUCK CONFIT Beautiful leg served with scalloped potatoes. The meat could have been a bit more tender, but overall a good solid entree. *FRUIT TART Good, but not great. The pastry could have baked a bit longer. Loved the sweet plums though. We also ordered a bottle of their excellent Cabernet France for 17 euros. My darling didn't care for their espresso and I was not impressed with their version of a cappuccino. Dinner altogether was 73 euros. OTHER NOTES ============= Some of their staff members are from Le Mascote restaurant, but since the restaurant is currently closed; they cooked and served here. Same quality of food; cheaper in price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the wine, foie gras, and any seafood dish. They have great daily specials.

The menu consists of typical French fare with your duck confit and your steak tartar etc. The wine is sold by volume and all priced at the same rate. Bulk of the other clientele consists of local repeat customers, as we saw a lot of them greeting the bar tender affectionately. For lunch, we had the duck confit and the Lyon sausages (one of the day's specials). The waiter recommended a strong red wine to go with the duck and a lighter, younger chilled red to go with the sausages. He hit it spot on in terms of the pairing. Both main courses were simple and delicious. We ended our meal with wonderful house-made chocolate mousse. Having stumbled onto this little place on the last day of our week long trip in Paris, we were pleasantly surprised with our wonderful experience at Le Colibri. Simple and authentic, this is definitely our favourite place to eat in Paris.
