We were hungry after a long day walking around Paris and decided to walk through the park by the…read moreEiffel Tower for some food. The reviews of this place looked promising so we decided to give it a try.
First off, service was very friendly and accommodating. As soon as we walked up we were given our choice of the tables and were asked for our drink orders. Families, Parisians and tourists from all over were in the restaurant so this not a restaurant aiming to give you the "authentic" Paris experience you can get from back alley bars and cafes.
Food was above avg for tourist area restaurants in Paris. My beef bourguinon was excellent though the beef was on the dry side, the stew of potatoes, onions and red wine made up for it. My wife got the pepperoni pizza, not much to say other than that it was pizza. Not great, not terrible but perfect if you have some picky eaters or kids in your group.
Now me personally, my favorite places in France were the little cafes that changed their menu on the chalk board each day. The problem is that while a dream to me - if you are traveling with a group, you're unlikely to find food everyone will eat. This place serves a role and fills it well. If you're seeing the sights in Paris and need a reliable, hearty meal with plenty of menu items to choose from and need a drink to wash it down, you could certainly do much worse.
