dave jimenezDecember 25, 2017Everything delicious confit canard magnifique, creme brulee great, excellent service. One of the best restaurants in París (everything is organic)Upvoted 1 week ago- hinyan wongJanuary 27, 2018Simple honestly cooked food in a chilled out part of town. The soups and salads are excellent. So is the steak tartare. Courteous waiters.
Siri SJuly 27, 2016Originally thought this place was a tourist trap but I was so wrong. The food is authentic and delicious (and mostly organic and locally-sourced). Don't miss the confit de canard!- VDecember 29, 2017Great French onion soup, and Philosophes salad. Nice drinks, excellent service. If you sit outside, watch your bags. Ours was stolen.
Kirsty GreenDecember 29, 2017The Les Philosophes salad was amazing and I'm not normally a salad person. The onion soup was perfectly seasoned, the staff were fast & attentive. Keep a hold of your bags if you sit outside though!
DamlaOctober 29, 2019Best house wine in Paris! And very nice staff. Nice to sit outside w/ Marais view. Wish they were adding more cheese to onion soup! It’d been better. Thank you❤️
Dan EApril 7, 2019Take a break here while shopping in the Marais. Get a demi-litre of wine, soupe à l’oignon, and cuisse de canard- hinyan wongJanuary 27, 2018Simple honestly cooked classic dishes - soups, salads, steak tartare. An interesting organic or bio wine list. Courteous waiters. Just relax and enjoy.
Baran von IsikNovember 5, 2015It's a good spot for people watching in Marais. Get yourself a glass of wine and grab a seat facing the street.
Alexander BradleyJanuary 15, 2018Great selection of delicious vegetarian options in a classic french setting.
Christian DickmannAugust 7, 2014Had the boeff bourguignon and liked it a lot. Nice atmosphere too, friendly staff. I will be back.- The Taste SheriffMay 8, 2015One of Paris' most classic spots. Lovely ambiance, always great food and service. A must.
Jacob IvelićMay 28, 2022Great food quality and hig level of service, much higher than in the rest of Paris. Congrats!!!!
Simon TanDecember 6, 2017Best duck confit in paris. The skin is crispy and the meat is delicious and well done.
ilkeeetFebruary 17, 2020Cosy place in the heart of Marais! Typical French, a bit crowded and slow but still you can give it a try :)
Fatma GencNovember 5, 2013Very nice place to have a quick lunch. Don't expect the staff to be looking into your eyes when helping you, they have all these 4squarers waiting for their french food.
Adham HakimSeptember 4, 2017Oinoin soup, gooooood. Duct leg, gooooood, atmosphere, gooooood, stafff, cuuuuuute.
mahiraoliveiraNovember 2, 2013food is really great (tarte tartin au tomate is terrific, as also the steak tartar), but the wine of the house ("vin du mois") actually sucks :/
Pete HarmerJuly 24, 2022A very solid French bistro. Traditional food - although most of the food is organic. Lovely outdoor seating
Gabriel GrinbergAugust 2, 2016Took the daily suggestion and the vegetables were part rotten, and we had a string of hair on top. The main dish took 40 minutes to be ready. The waiter didn't even apologize... Stay away
FilipposMarch 25, 2019Try to sit in the bookstore across the street. One of the best tartares in Paris
Calamari FrittiMay 25, 2011Tarta Tartin! The BEST! But arrive early (before 6pm) to be sure they have it, or there might be te risk you miss it! You don't want to regret it.
Arseny LebedevNovember 12, 2017This looks like a tourist trap but it’s delicious real food. Great soup. The house wine is meh but do try this place
Paolo FusconiFebruary 18, 2018Excellent, the place is very busy on a Sunday night, but it was good to wait. Also good wine
Ronni TinoApril 22, 2017These guys are very passionate about fresh ingredients. As a result the food is great!
Joseph TerranellaAugust 26, 2015Order the tarte tatin aux tomates if they have it - amazing tomato tart
Olga UAugust 22, 2017We were lucky to get incredible red house wine(despite previous tips). So risk pays off
StacyOctober 12, 2017Great wine prices. Onion soup was average, but the creme brûlée was the best I've ever had!
Fernanda FontesJune 29, 2014Loved the steak tartar and the lamb. Small and cozy - a real parisian experience!
Valentina TDecember 25, 2014nice spot! small but cozy!! super fresh bread, try carrot soup with cumino
Rafael DaninoOctober 8, 2018Bouef bourginon and soups. House red wine was great and korlene beer also.
Stefanie ReisSeptember 1, 2014Great restaurant, amazing neighbourhood! Eat the croissant and the baguette!
Sherry JuJune 16, 2018The owner seems to be very health and environment conscious which is a big thumb up! But Servers could be much nicer!
- Jan H.February 1, 2014Quite a busy place, but with friendly staff and good meals. Later in the evening the choice of desserts is rather limited.
Ufuk ClkcnJune 30, 2019Onion soup was not to our taste. Duck confit we found just ok, nothing to die for. Staff is not attentive at all. You can look for one to take your order for 10-15 minutes while they joke around
