    THIS is the biggest brasserie of Paris ! If you love seafood, you HAVE to go here. They have the best oysters, gambas (shrimp)... If it's your birthday, the staff sings to you, don't be embarrassed ;)

    Been here 5+ times
    The seafood tower (Plateau Coupole) is wonderful. Large variety and plenty for two. We paid 90 for two, plus wine. The profiteroles are also great.

    Typical Parisian bistro if you’re visiting. Decor reminds you of the cabaret and the waiters come out of a movie... great pasta otherwise.

    Perfect place and a must visit when in Paris. Go for a Pleateau - eg. Prestige - and the Crepes Suzette is a sure winner

    Classic restaurant, classic food, great for people watching - stylish if retro decor and ambiance. Just a bit on the busy / noisy side. Book and try the escargots ...

    It's probably cool to come here at least once b/c it's famous and has cool art but don't go out of your way for the food

    Beautiful place. Service and food terrible. Oysters were good but even the steak comes with an attitude. Either raw or burnt. No in between. Plenty of awesome places right around it. Terrible.
