After having such great experiences I really wanted to give it 5 stars but the experience fell quite short. Upon entering I was able to get the seat of my choice which was nice. Also, the decor of the place was quaint and peaceful giving upscale vibes. I had the Cappuccino at the start and it was nice and warm for the cold weather. For appetizer I ordered pâté en croute, which was a pleasant surprise as it was my first time trying this dish. The salad accompanying it had a hint of heat reminding me of wasabi adding a unique twist to the dish. Loved it! Got the Cassoulet for the main and it was just as good as the starter. Loved the flavours of the sauce complementing a variety of different meats harmoniously. An extremely satisfying main course. The dessert, however, fell flat. Based on the one most popularly ordered, they recommended the Armagnac Savarin. I was expecting the cake to be moist and flaky to the knife but it was anything but. The texture was coarse and the brandy poured on top of it kind of ruined the taste for me since I'm certainly not an alcohol lover. It was hard to finish as the bitter alcoholic flavours dominated the total experience. Now for the service, overall it wasn't bad, but I just felt there was too much unnecessary jesting. Maybe because they are trying to break the 'french rudeness' stereotype, not sure lol! So, if someone asked if I would return I'd say probably not. Ok for a one time experience.

absolutely magnificent! went here with my boyfriend for my birthday dinner and had a great time. we ordered the salmon heart, beef with mashed potatoes (which were crazy smooth and tasty), cod with squash, and for dessert we had the profiteroles. service was immaculate, mentioned it was my birthday and we got a complimentary ice cream with a little candle 🥰 really recommend if you’re looking for a fancy fine dining experience

Really nice old French classic atmosphere and food. I've tried the snails and their special dish ( Hare a la Royale) which wasn't on my taste to be fair, it was severely bitter/poignant and I also found 3 hairs in the rabbit meat. Really nice wine: Bordeaux blanc Regarding the name, history and prices of this place, things like this aren't supposed to happen. But let's say I was unlucky :) .

If there were 6 stars, that would be more appropriate. The food was exquisite, and the service was top notch. We had the cassoulet which was so very delicious and I can't wait to try making it at home - so much flavor. We had the foie gras which was absolutely decadent and delicious. Beautiful restaurant and fantastic service. Oh and they served little chocolates from Alain Ducasse which were the best we had in Paris. Magnifique!

Authentic, Refined, and Historic ​Benoit Paris is a must-visit for its authentic 1918 ambiance—it’s classic Paris at its best. The food is unpretentious yet refined, staying true to traditional French roots. ​I had the Christmas menu, and the Pigeon Wellington was absolutely amazing. The Lobster Bisque was delicious (though I would have preferred it a bit hotter), and the other courses and wine pairings were excellent. ​A huge thank you to Manouk for the exceptional service. He was incredibly professional and friendly without being overbearing. An overall excellent experience!

Great place to get compose-it-yourself salad at the foot of the Tour St Jacques. Lots of ingredients to choose from to put on top of a self selected base.

After walking for a whole day, I walked into this cafe because of yelp review. And it is great. Great cheese cake. They don't have English menu but the waitress was very helpful with the translation.

You pick a base (variety of salads, baguette pizza or flatbread), then you pick your toppings. It's all kinds of things you'd expect at a salad bar. My salad was big and filling, and exactly how I wanted.

Salon du thé. Cosy place, very nice selection of tea. Good variety of desserts, cakes, salads, soups and drinks.

Great place, highly recommended! The crêpes are as excellent as they used to be even 20 years ago, based on the same Bretagne recipes as it was before. An authentic crêperie that will not disappoint. This is still my default choice for a lunch when I’m in the neighborhood. I just had a Sud-Ouest galette, which was a complete meal on its own for just 13.10 euro.
Aleksandr Shabanov-Kube - 2 months ago

Lovely view of the fountain! But tables were too close to one another and you couldn't enjoy a proper meal. Moreover, the crêpes were a bit dry and slightly burnt, the filling was not very satisfying.. but for 12€ it was okay.

Our friend who is from Paris told us we couldn't go to Paris without going to his favorite creperie, this place. Just wow! He was right, this place was so delicious and the best crepes we've ever had. We each ordered one savory and one sweet crepe, as recommended by our friend, and had some beers to go with our meal. We loved everything about this place from the outdoor seating to the service to the food. We had a wonderful time and will come back when we visit again. Highly recommended!!

Everything in this place is nice. Indoor has a great atmosphere. We had salmon gallete and crepe to eat in the afternoon, which was very good and tasty. All food and drink prices are inexpensive. Great outdoor seating and has a great view outside.

We spent a few days in Paris and we didn't find this place until the last day and we really regretted not finding it sooner They have a very good menu and their selection of crepes and galettes is very good The prices are very reasonable and they are located across the street from a small playground which was a nice addition to watch the children play

I been to this place three different times. Their happy hour is so affordable. Great drinks,great appetizers for best prices. Their green peppers, potatoes and paella were the best.

One of the better paella! Nice tapas! Although the QR code doesn’t work for English menu, the staff is very helpful! Will definitely come back again! *Left my scrub suit behind , she even came for me. Kudos to her!
Adam L - a year ago

The paella was so dissappointing. It was served with a common plate instead of classical iron plate, and the paella was obviously already made for quite long as it was not hot at all. The taste is as same as the pealla I bought at Picard(frozen food chain store). The tapas were ok. The only advantage is that this restaurant is open at the afternoon.

It's still a very cool metal bar. The music is all kinds of metal, there are decorations all over the place and the best: Beer and food is awesome! The meat quality is superb and prices reasonable for the food. Friendly staff and free refill of your potato wedges ( if you ask for it) included.

A mythical bar/restaurant in Paris. Metal+South-America meat. Great cool staff, amazing meet and Metal music.

Metal, mais pas trop… 😜 I took my husband here on his first trip to Paris. The food is so good and the meat was the best he’d had since coming over from the US. Even if you’re not into Metal music, it’s worth booking a table for dinner here. You’ll often see people in suits walking out after having eaten in the restaurant, while rockers enjoy a beer. There’s also a metal club downstairs where you can have a great time dancing the night away

The ultimate place to enjoy excellent food and a drink by the Centre Pompidou. Many have a sip while enjoying the people watching. Was pleasantly surprised to find really good and reasonably priced food options here as well. The salad was crisp and fresh, nem tasty and warm, and the verveine tea with assorted desserts perfectly done. Service was attentive and well timed. Highly recommend.
Elaine C - 3 months ago

It was a simple break during our stroll through the surrounding Parisian neighborhoods, a chance to enjoy a warm cup of coffee or something similar. The place is nice and quiet, and its patrons suggest it's a haven for those seeking peace and relaxation, perhaps to enjoy a book or a quiet conversation with a companion. Our order tasted wasn't very good. While the service was quick, it felt like a mere formality, lacking genuine enthusiasm and hospitality. To be fair, this was only apparent with the person who served us; the rest of the staff were much more professional.

It had been a very long time since I last returned to Café Beaubourg, and I was curious to rediscover the place. I had noticed that the rating on this platform was not particularly high (below 4), but I still wanted to make up my own mind. Overall, I was personally welcomed and served quite well, which allowed me to enjoy my break. However, I observed a situation that I found rather unfortunate. Two Asian tourists sat at a table close to mine and waited for more than fifteen minutes without anyone approaching them, even though there were only about a dozen people seated on the terrace at that time (Sunday, August 17th, around 4 pm). Discouraged, they eventually left without ordering. I am not sure whether the young waiter with mid-length curly hair simply did not notice them, but the end result was that they left with a negative impression. I find this regrettable because, beyond the restaurant’s reputation, it also affects the image of Paris for visitors. This iconic location deserves a level of service that matches its history and charm. I hope my feedback will be taken as a constructive remark to help improve the experience for all guests.

AMAZING hot chocolate!! And you get to pour your own chocolate, so you get the choose the amount. It wasn't too sweet, just divine! I got the Déjeuner du Boulanger (Baker's Breakfast) and every bit of it was delicious! It came with a soup, salad and tartine and you can add a dessert (I chose the Liege waffle). My favorite part was the tomato and cauliflower soup, surprising to me because I usually don't like tomato soups (in the US at least). It had an amazing consistency, was really flavorful and the perfect amount of acidity, and was paired with a lovely piece of baguette. I'm probably going to come back for dinner just to have the soup again before it changes (and also gonna try the miso salmon, looks so good!). The Liege waffle was fluffy and delicious! And Emily and Malha, the servers, were really helpful, kind, and responsive, thank you both! Minor sensitivity warning: Likely due to the high ceilings and the shape of the room, while they keep the music down, the whole place can get a bit noisy from casual conversation. If you have sensitive hearing, I highly recommend bringing your ear protectors to eat here.

The food here is genuinely good — flavorful, well presented, and you can tell there’s attention to quality and detail. The dishes feel refined and it makes sense that this is a Michelin Guide level restaurant. That said, it’s on the pricier side, especially because rice is not included with most dishes even though many of them feel like they should come with it. You’ll need to order rice separately, which adds up quickly. Overall, still a nice dining experience if you’re looking for quality Thai food in Paris. You can also find them on The Fork for reservations and occasional deals.

They prepare a whole sea bass fried with garlic and spices that is phenomenal! We added some vegetable fried rice which was a perfect companion. And for desert we had the sticky rice and mango which was delicious. I had read reviews that indicated bad service but our experience was the opposite, our waiter was very friendly and efficient. This was a good option to change the French cousins in Paris. I do recommend this Thai restaurant.
Christian Mantilla - 10 months ago

the service was great and the atmosphere was nice, but the price of the food was incredibly high for the quality of food we got (over €20 per portion). while the presentation of the food was lovely, in a large group of people, no one felt content with the taste- low on both seasoning and spice. we were very disappointed after seeing the good reviews.
