    La Fontaine de Mars is one of the oldest traditional brasseries in Paris since 1908. Exceptional cuisine most notably : the foie gras, the duck confit, and the cassoulet. Highly recommended!

    Very good and well executed traditional French dishes - don’t bother ordering salads or whatever not traditional. Black pudding (boudin noir) with apples is divine. Cosy terrace in a courtyard.

    Great restaurant with nice atmosphere, a few steps only from the Eiffel Tower! The food is really good with traditional dishes such as cassoulet or andouillette. Always a great choice!

    Ducks confit and Beef Loin, we strongly advice! Very delicious and incredibly fast service. With red wine and such delicious dinner it's inevitable that you have a romantic night ;)

    Never disappoints - everything is so good! Personal faves - coq au vin, chicken with morels and the beef tartare!

    Great restaurant, usually pretty crowded due to its proximity to the tower. Mostly French cuisine, excellent desserts.

    Pricey but service like that is hard to find in Paris. Kindness and attention. A booking is more than recommended. #Brasserie #frenchcuisine

    Don't bother the (very few) bad comments. If you want some TRUE and DELICIOUS French food + a 5 stars service : GO !! (btw : if Clinton and Obama came here it should give you a hint about the place)

    Made a reservation at 3:00pm on Sunday.. Showed up at 3:05pm. Walking from The tower, On our honeymoon. They refused to seat us. Said last call was at 3:00pm. Very Rude.

    Don't bother, most dishes are frozen and prices are high. Prefer Café Constant or Les Cocottes just nearby.
