Stopped by on a whim while staying just down the street at the Hotel Original Paris with a couple…read moreof my work colleagues. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch after arriving in Paris from an overnight flight from Toronto. Our server was friendly and polite. We ordered a few dishes to share, including a smoked salmon toast and charcuterie board. I opted for the vegan Thai salad, so did one of my colleagues and the other grabbed a burger et frites. All of the bites I tried were very tasty. Living in Canada where smoking is banned pretty much everywhere in public spaces, it was very odd to be eating to see another patron nonchalantly light up in the covered patio. Of course, this is totally ok/normal in Paris, was just very surprising to this foreigner and perhaps something to consider should cigarette smoke bother you. I would return again someday but may not opt to sit on the patio if it is still enclosed.

Ambiance: A young crowd, locals, tasteful decor, large bar top that wraps around bar, indoor outdoor seating, record player. Service: Good service, nice waiters/waitresses, busy Food: The deviled eggs were the BEST I've ever had (we had to come back again for them). We also had olives and nuts to snack on which was a great precursor to our dinner reservation. Drinks: the spritz's on their cocktail menu was unique, savory and one of the best I've ever had. Loved the olive & vodka in it. I will miss this place when we leave.

The birria tacos could use more fat but it was good nonetheless. The quesadilla taco is what I came for - and it was super cheesy and delicious.

The place is small, super cute and everyone is tightly packed in but still comfortable. It's a fabulous restaurant. We waited with a drink at the bar for about 10min before we were seated. Our table was in the corner and have a great view of the space. We ordered several dishes from the menu as well as some wine, which was a very good Montepulciano. We had probably one of the most delicious and spectacular Italian meals in a long time. The food was outstanding, the service excellent and the ambience was perfect. If you're in the Marais/Bastille area, do yourself a favour and go here. You will NOT be disappointed.

We ordered their famous Carette hot chocolate with chantilly cream, croissants, scrambled eggs with herbs, quiche lorraine, veggie quiche, and a few espresso drinks to go around. The food was amazing, and the quiche was hands down the best we had anywhere around the world. We were waited on by the friendliest server who made us feel so welcome and ensured we had everything we needed. Prices are a bit steep (quiche and side salad were €19 alone), but if you're looking for a nice place to brunch with friends, Carette is the place to be!

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.
