Paris restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Cluny - La Sorbonne Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

The cozy atmosphere and wonderful service made this dining experience a true highlight to our trip. The food was delicious and fresh. It was a hearty, homemade French meal. My husband had baked fish and I had a ratatouille quiche. This did not feel like a space where many tourists visit. It was a wonderful find for us and gave us a chance to experience French cuisine not too far from our hotel. The server and chef were gracious. It is a place we hope to return to someday.

Agree with other reviews-a cozy spot sans tourists. Garlicky onion soup, house made bread, salad and a glass of wine sitting by the windows and the heater was a perfect lunch after an hour wait to enter Ste. Chapelle and walking around the just reopened Notre Dame. The server was very pleasant and wanted to get our order in “before the chef flies away.”

Dropped by this quaint place during our son’s birthday. We were all tired from walking around the whole day, but there server really made us feel welcome, traditional French cuisine which was fantastic. They even gave us free slices of cake to celebrate our son’s birthday. Came back the next day to have more food and dessert :)

needed a warm place to retreat from the cold after visiting Shakespeare & Co. and stumbled upon this lovely restaurant. had tea while waiting for dinner service which only starts at 7pm. they have wifi if you need it. it's a beautiful, elegant and quaint space. i love that it's dimly lit, gives you a very 80s-restaurant -n french-movies ambience, along with the framed artwork and shelved books. ordered croquettes de camembert (most divine), daube de bœuf (which comes with tagliatelle) and the salad that comes with cheese. they were all delicious. the waitstaff were warm and friendly.

I highly recommend the slow-cooked beef Paleron de Bœuf 6H for its incredible tenderness. The sauce pairs perfectly with smashed potatoes, the sauce alone might taste a bit salty (without potatoes). Their homemade bread was also excellent—dense yet light and to top it off the service was splendid.

Andreea is probably the kindest French person we have ever met, which is lucky since it is very hard to find a friendly person in France. The atmosphere is very nice. The food could be more aromatic, but we went as a group of 5, ordered 4, and they opened the service for the 5th person without us asking. These are small but important details.

Stopped by for lunch on my lunch own and the staff were super friendly and accommodating of my efforts to speak only in french, breaking Parisian stereotypes! Perhaps the best french onion I've had! Full of spices and flavour.

This restaurant is an institution that’s true, hence I was keen for a girlfriend’s lunch for two. However as time progresses service can fade a little here, unless they know you. I Was back here in this area of Cluny after a while and was taken aback by the manager Malik who truly complained about why I won’t give his restaurant a great rating. The reason being I want to be true to my reviews and here the food and service is average seriously. The mussels moules were without any taste..and the fries not made fresh. I hope when back I get to eat a really fresh meal malik. Merci à la prochaine

Le Balzar came highly recommended, and understandably so, it's a fine establishment with a long history. The Handsomely-mustachioed Mâitre d' was cordial and welcoming. Service was prompt. I quite enjoyed my escargots, and my wife enjoyed the House Foie gras, the cocktail menu leaves something to be desired, I should perhaps have had a wine pairing recommended, our table neighbors seemed quite pleased with the aperol spritz however. The Moulles were tasty, but we're not of an especially high quality or unique preparation, go in with tempered expectations and you'll be satisfied.

It was like magic! Finding such a quality place in a busy and touristic Saint Michel area was not expected! It's a real gem, the food is so tasty and the portions are big. I recommend you to order chicken for the entrée;) What you see in the picture is just starters!

Customer service was excellent. Warm and friendly. Waiters were attentive and pleasant. Nice deco, clean resto. The food was good, but to be honest, it’s not the best Indian food that I have. A little bit bland compared to some other restaurants I have been but, still very flavorful because Indian food is naturally quite flavorful, so the curry sauces were just a tad less what I was expecting. The soup in the entrée was quite delicious. I was expecting the samosas to be a little better, but hey, I still ate them because they weren’t bad. They served us some nice cumin crackers (not on the menu, included in the service, so no additional charge) with some sauces, which included pepper sauce. I think it would be a good idea to leave these sauces on the table during the main course, for guests who wish to add some to their dish. 19euros for a 3 course meal (reasonable price for that area). Just wish we had a few more choices in that formula. Overall it was a nice experience.

The food was really amazing and affordable as well. The staff were very really very polite and friendly. I really loved the gulag jamun, it was the best that I have had in a while. Must recommend for Indian authentic food.

Atmosphere is super nice. Some people play music and sing. Food is very tasty and waiters are very nice and welcoming. Recommend it for sure for a typical and special french dinner.

Had a lovely salad and crème brûlée. The street side seating was very nice with a view of an old church. We enjoyed the singer. The service was fine. The people watching was great.

We came to the restaurant for a late dinner around 10 PM. The place operates as a piano bar, with a live pianist and a singer who moves around the restaurant and performs near the tables. While this concept might appeal to some, it may not suit everyone – especially when the singer approaches your table while you're in the middle of chewing your food. We ordered two burgers and a steak. Unfortunately, the food was rather disappointing. The burgers were dry, served in equally dry buns, and lacked flavor. The steak, although requested medium, arrived lukewarm and overcooked to well-done. Overall, while the atmosphere may appeal to fans of live music and performance dining, the food did not meet expectations. It’s a place that might work for the experience, but not necessarily for the meal itself.

Loved the music; it was like a fun sing a long, even if you didn't know all the words to the French songs 😁 It was very joyful. We sat at the bar as it was a busy Friday night, but that gave us the opportunity to chat with the lovely bartender (Alexei?), who was friendly and accommodating. St Germain spritz and chips for the win!

Second time in this place, this time weekend and it was just wonderful. Ambiance, live singing and piano, delicious food and drinks, friendly staff. This is a place for people who love live singing and edgy panache atmosphere. We were lucky to have different performers and everyone is so talented. This place is for people with a soul 🥰 who appreciate warmth ams passion vibes. I always make reservations to guarantee immediate availability. Gets really busy after 9pm.

Amazing food and great service. Good selection of wines as well. Japanese and French cooking merged into an Amazon omakase experience. High quality produce and sustainably used as well. Now while the attention to detail is fantastic and flavors are really good, I have to state that the portion size is on the smaller side. All tasting menus are of course smaller but this menu felt a lot smaller - get the mains (fish and venison) to be portioned bigger, something the team should work to improve.

This experience was truly one-of-a-kind and unforgettable. The food was exceptional, bursting with freshness and incredible flavors. From the incredible ingredients, the interactive communication with the incredible staff where you had to guess the ingredients of each dish to the charming custom of removing your shoes and slipping into slippers, just like in Japan, every detail enhanced the authenticity and beauty of the experience. I cannot wait to come back to Paris just for this restaurant. It was an honour

Truly exceptional. The chef's concept was a welcome surprise, different from many Michelin star restaurants. The menu is seasonal of course and the overall experience is worth writing about. The wine pairing was well worth it, varying between wine and sake. We left thoroughly amused, satiated without being overly full, and only a little bit tipsy. We sat in the mineral lounge, which I preferred. Highly recommend.

We dined at Sola on the last night of our stay in Paris, and it was the best meal of our entire trip! The omakase menu in the cave was an incredible sensory experience from start to finish. The menu is expertly crafted, filled with countless surprises and moments. Without giving too much away, each course was served without a description - and after finishing the course, the staff come to discuss it with you personally. This was our favorite part of the meal (besides how delicious the food was)! The staff are top notch, with visible excitement for every aspect of the dining experience. They made every bite into a fun journey for my wife and I. We highly recommend Sola and can't wait to eat here again (and again).

Don’t miss this unique dining experience. The service was especially interactive because you are not told the dishes in advance and get to discuss flavors between courses. Perfect to celebrate a special occasion. Highly recommend wine/sake pairing as well as sitting in the “cave”!

Nice little place with friendly staff. They were very accommodating to us as we only speak English. An English menu was provided to us after we were seated which was very helpful. The food was excellent overall and was priced well.

This was our last restaurant in France after touring the country for 10 days. On the balance of what we've tried and eaten (including three 1-Star restaurants), this probably ranks in the top 5, comfortably.

We've been visiting this jazz club for several years now. Earlier this month, we lucked out and were there for the late Sunday night jam session. We had a blast! The music was fabulous, the crowd enthusiastic, the staff as welcoming as ever. It feels like a real slice of Paris life.

We came to Monk for a late dinner and since it was pouring rain outside we decided to take a table deep inside the restaurant. From our table we could see the water running down the cobblestone street and hear the thunders but we were warm and protected from the wind and cold. We had the hamburger without the cheese and beef tab with French fries. Both portions were big enough to satisfy the strong appetite. The beef was very tender and juicy. It was served with a tiny dish with caramelized onions and a small garden salad. The service was quick and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The prices are reasonable too. It was interesting to hear Freddy Mercury, Queens, The Weekend and Ariana Grande as a background music in France. We also ordered a warm chocolate dessert with a vanilla ice cream, but couldn’t finish it. It was very good, only we overestimated our abilities. 😊 We had our very late dinner and when we left around 11:00 pm and there were still people in the restaurant. I definitely recommend you to try this place.

The waitress, the food, the wine, the live jazz, the atmosphere....what can I say....AMAZING! My favorite part beyond the music was the intimacy of the restaurant/jazz bar. The service was quick. I could see the man in the kitchen working diligently to get everyone's orders out hot and fresh. The waitress had great recommendations for a snack and wine.

There a live concert by a duo who were really great. The concert was free but for the drinks, which were reasonable. The staff were kind and, it seems, really good to the musicians!

This is my favorite place in Paris!!! The potato gratin was the best thing I ate and I’ve been craving it! It was perfect! I was worried about the vegan cheese but it was delectable and smooth. I have eaten a lot of potatoes in my life but this was by far the BEST! The wait staff was so sweet! One of the waiters even took our picture. We were thrilled. This place is a very short walk from Notre-Dame. It’s an idyllic cafe!

Loved this stunning little veggie spot. The staff was very nice and accommodating, moving tables to let 5 of us dine together with no booking. One vegan, one vegetarian, one gluten free and a couple omnivores, and we were all satisfied! We also shared a lovely bottle of white wine. My favourite type of food is always vegan meals centred around plants and whole foods, and this place does that very well. Great flavours and variety, and good portion sizes!
Kristina Jensen - 3 weeks ago

Cozy place with excellent food and great choices. Some of the most flavourful vegetarian dishes I’ve ever tasted. Seitan and tofu proteins used extensively, with less focus on lentils and beans in dishes. Great choices for non alcoholic drinks. Make a reservation though as the place is super popular!

What a pain it is having so many delicious options to choose from! Even my non-vegan dad said it was good—he had the blue cheeseburger and an apple pie, both of which he enjoyed. I ordered the L'assiette berbère to try something different and absolutely loved the seitan and the burger. The tofu, though, didn’t have much flavour. It was a big enough portion for half of it to be enough, especially for its high price. I’d love to come back and try more from their unique menu. The service was super friendly too!

Best vegetarian restaurant in Paris. In fact one of the best restaurants in Paris. This is proper tasty grub without snobbery. If you want to make friends this is the place to go. Diners are so friendly.

In a very cold winter day, after walking for hours in the city, The Tea Caddy was a nice stop to warm up a bit. They have a big collection of tea. One tea pot can serve 2-3 mugs of tea and it’s quite nice. Service is helpful with your order.

Old style tea house with wood everywhere and cosy feeling. The food was good but not wow, it was quite tricky with tables and chairs as it's quite crowded we had to get up and move around a few times.

I would 100% recommend the Tea Caddy. It was a beautiful spot, with a wooden interior. They offered delicious cakes and flavourful tea. The waitress was so kind and lovely and gave us helpful recommendations.

Very sweet little tea shop. We enjoyed Rooibos Tea. We showed up about 25 minutes until closing. They were very welcoming and the tea was delicious. They are located across a tiny park on a little cobblestone street. I highly recommend a visit if you love loose tea.

We went for dinner and the food was amazing! The meat was so good and the desert was great. It was such a cute little French restaurant. The French onion soup was not traditional but even better than it usually is.

Perfect dinner with this perfect restaurant in Paris. Outside the restaurant looks ordinary,does not look grandeur but don't judge the book by its cover as they say,you have to try and dine. Staff are friendly,professionals and most of all the foods are sumptuous down to desserts too! Definitely recommended if you are going to be in central Paris. I had a fantastic and unforgettable dinner with family (7 of us with a child) and they love the food. My nephew,Carl search this place and It was worthwhile trip to the restaurant. Tip: in the picture was the wine they offered and it tasted so good we had 2 bottles! and the price was affordable. It tastes slightly sweet white wine so if you are not into sweet,dry white wine then it's not for you. I had steak and it went well,too. Thank you,we will definitely go back whenever we are in Paris! 🤗💕Merci!

This was a hit & miss type of place. They opened at 7.30 pm but were not prepared when we arrived for our booking. The decor is dated, dusty eclectic. The service was very selective. If you were the 2 young girls on the other table, you got much attention, but we got minimal. My partner got the sea scallop flan & suckling pig & he was happy. The gnocchi, salmon & vegetable tajine were okay. The house red was rough. We left on a flat feeling.

This restaurant was a cute and quaint place with good food and service. It was in a lovely area to go out in afterwards. My scallop and artichoke dish was AMAZING and the flavours were outstanding. It was slightly on the more expensive end but good for a night out.
