Paris restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Hôtel de Ville Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Had a lovely lunch, this place has been around since 1912, so it's got that classic Parisian bistro charm but without feeling too stiff or fancy. It’s part of Alain Ducasse’s group now, so you know you’re in good hands food-wise. I went for the set lunch menu (please take note that set menu may be changed from time to time), it was beautifully prepared, simple yet traditional French dishes done right. The flavors were rich but balanced, and the portions were just right, not too heavy. The service was amazing, very attentive without being overbearing. I was looked after by a friendly lady who made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. She explained the menu really well and checked in just the right amount. It’s those little touches that make a meal feel just nice. At the end of the meal, they brought out some chocolate from their own factory, which was such a nice surprise. Rich, smooth, and just the perfect finish to a really satisfying lunch. If you’re in Paris and want a relaxed but good French dining experience without the tourist-trap vibe, Benoit is a solid choice. It feels like stepping into a piece of history, but with warm service and food that totally holds up today. Recommend for lunch, definitely worth a visit.

I will first start off by saying that the service here was fantastic and the wait staff were super friendly and very attentive! I made reservations for the restaurant a couple weeks in advance, but when I came in at 7pm (opening time) I was seated right at the entranceway where patrons come in to check in for their reservations. I wondered if it was because I was a solo diner so it felt like I was an afterthought. So not only was it chilly whenever someone entered or exited the establishment, it felt awkward because my meal and dining experience was the first thing people saw when entering so it was a bit uncomfortable for me as I was getting some stares. My food was actually just okay. I had the French onion soup which was good. I also had the beef ordered medium— however it came out (overcooked) medium well, and even though a sauce was poured onto it the meat still tasted bland and dry. For dessert I had little cream puffs that is dipped in a tasty chocolate sauce. I’ve dined at many Michelin star restaurants across the USA, Portugal, and Spain and had wonderful, impressive experiences and meals at all of them. This experience was very much a let down. When dining at a Michelin restaurant, there was always that “wow factor” in the dishes and presentation, but that was not the case here. This experience felt like it was your average expensive restaurant. I would say that my favorite parts of the meal were the dessert as well as the bread (not the baguette— I felt like I almost chipped a tooth on how hard/stale it was). Would I come back? Most likely not. There are a ton more options across Paris that I would prefer to try over a repeat experience here.

I had a wonderful dinner at Benoit. I was a solo diner. The staff made me feel very welcome. They helped with menu choices. The profiteroles were the best dessert ever! The staff packed what I could not finish to take home. They called a taxi for me to return to my hotel. I enjoyed my dinner & I plan to visit the NY location when I am there.

Good service (speaks English), good food with bistro feeling - we got the somehow affordable lunch menu with three dishes and payed around 90€ for two people. We were very pleasantly surprised about the consistency of the food, I particularly liked the very cross crunchy fish skin of one of our main dishes and several small pieces of leek that were somehow just a pleasure to eat. What we didn‘t like too much was that one of our spoons was dirty and also the table cloth didn’t seem too fresh, but those things happen. Also the tarte tatin as a dessert was good but felt behind compared the other dishes.

So welcoming to English speakers; the maitre’d was outstandingly friendly. Food was enjoyable, served in an elegant setting. Some very classic French dishes on offer.

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.

We had an amazing meal at this rooftop restaurant! The food was delicious, our server was helpful, attentive and fun, and the weather and views were incredible. Thank you to Le Georges for helping us make wonderful memories in Paris!

The restaurant boasts a great view and a pleasant atmosphere, which adds to its charm. However, the price-to-quality ratio of the food felt a bit off. The dishes seemed overpriced for the quality delivered. The staff member who served me was friendly and efficient, which was a highlight of the experience. I visited on a Monday night and dined alone. Upon requesting a table by the window, I was told those were reserved for parties of four, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. The reasoning given was that the restaurant would fill up soon, but by the time I left, it remained relatively empty. This policy felt unnecessarily rigid and detracted from the overall experience. While the view and ambiance were enjoyable, the inflexibility in seating arrangements—especially given the restaurant’s emptiness—left a negative impression. Coupled with the high prices for average food quality, I would hesitate to recommend this spot unless you prioritize the view over the dining experience.

We booked at Georges during our recent trip to Paris. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the Centre Pompidou, offering breathtaking views of the Paris skyline. As we booked for dinner, that night we were not lucky to see Eiffel Tower completely yet still we had a nice shot (see photo) The ambiance is chic and modern, creating a perfect blend of elegance. The staff were incredibly attentive. As for the food, each dish was a great. Price per person is around 80-100 EUR. Reservation is needed.

I had a wonderful dining experience, The food was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavor, and presented beautifully. The service was equally impressive attentive, friendly, and professional, making us feel truly valued as guests. To top it all off, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Please like and follow. The steak i ordered was tough, and I could not cut it with a steak knife. The salad was good . The decore was cute but the food was not. Even the fries were not fresh.

Wonderful food. Never knew a crepe could be so good! Fabulous fountain right outside the restaurant door.

It was probably the best crepe i ever had in Paris, the staff was super kind and the ambience was chill as well. I’d definitely go back :)

Crêperie Beaubourg is a nice restaurant, old-fashioned and cozy, good to enjoy a traditional Breton meal. Few steps from center du pompidour, with a beautiful view on fountain de stravinsky. The menu is centered around galette de sarrasin, made from buckwheat flour, and crepes. If you're a vegetarian, you'll be pleased to find many options. And no meal at a creperie is complete without a glass of cider.

I had a salted crepe and paid 5.80€, we didn’t have to wait long before we were served, and i really enjoyed it! The waitresses were helpful and nice. I’d return if I wasn’t a tourist just visiting the city!

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!!

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.
vijayaf - a month 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.
Cécile Wang - 3 weeks ago

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 - 4 months ago

What a discovery! The food is fabulous (best tapas I've had), the service very friendly and efficient, the atmosphere very warm (we were there on a night without live music, but will return for another occasion). Excellent value for money as well. A friend lost his phone, and the owner spent almost an hour helping us find it (it has slipped under the platform where we were eating), service way beyond what one could expect. Thank you! We'll be back.

Really cool counter-culture bar/restaurant. Very Heavy Metal. Right up my alley!. It's in a sweet neighborhood right out of Le Marais. Service was good. Food was good but I loved the music and overall ambience. Would definitely recommend this place and go back with a group of friends.

Wonderful bar and restaurant with a metal music theme! The staff is absolutely charming and exceptionally accommodating! The food is phenomenal and highly recommend everything on the menu! Some of the best steaks we have had in France! Not to be missed!

If you like death metal, you have to eat dinner here or grab a beer here. In fact, everyone should. I’m actually not a death metal fan but came as an open minded adventurous person. This place is the real deal and THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. If this was a common jazz bar the line for the food would be wrapped around the street, and/or reservations would be booked out for months. It’s a secret gem in Paris. Now, I have to say, it is still a secret because it is a *legit* death metal bar and restaurant. If you want to blend in wear all black and maybe spend a few months growing out a thick beard. (Pro tip: Grab a Shining t-shirt). It’s worth it!! Meat was tender not fatty. The meat was imported from Argentina. The dipping sauce was flawless with the slightest hint of spice (not too much). The potatoes were the best, most potatoey, yellow potatoes I’ve ever had. There isn’t a near second I’m considering, I just know it was the best potatoes I’ve ever eaten in my life. The dish I ordered was called “the threesome” on the English menu. I. am. stunned. Absolutely excellent.

I come to Black Dog since 2005 to enjoy great steaks 🥩 in a unique atmosphere. The lomo is simply fantastic, the potatoes are delicious, specifically combined with the plate of 6 sauces. I enjoy myself every time. Generally I come here for celebrations. I had my first date with my wife here, celebrated birthdays, promotions, basically all milestones. I brought family, friends and coworkers. Black Dog and the delicious steaks have become synonymous with good times in my life. I love the variety of people eating here. You can find everything from metal heads to families and business men in this restaurant. Everyone enjoying a great meal! I can’t recommend this place enough. I will be back, order my lomo erectus and have a great time. Again and again 🙂

If you're a metalhead you should stop in here. Chicken dinner was good and spicy meatballs were awesome. Love the guillotine in the back room. Staff was cool too. 🤘🏼

A classic place that I’ve been coming to for over 25 years when i frequently visit Paris. Always good food, good atmosphere, and service. Today Ahmet was the host and couldn’t have been nicer. Very professional and very good approach and rapport with everyone.

After several days of decadent food this came as a welcome meal, full of flavor and so healthy!! The avocado toast paired with the goat cheese salad was refreshing and absolutely delicious! And the flatbread with roasted vegetables and fresh mozzarella was hearty but not heavy. Totally recommend to anyone in Paris searching for healthy and tasty food.
Lana Wimmer - a month ago

Overall experience was okay. The 14€ avocado toasts are overpriced for what you get. Paying an extra 3,5€ for a single poached egg or 4€ for that little bit of smoked salmon is not worth it. And the taste was just not overwhelming. In addition the waiter was clearly in a bad mood and made us feel uncomfortable.

We really enjoyed their branch in Brussels. When we saw it in Paris, we wanted to try it right away. Fresh products, delicious and diverse. This time, instead of breakfast, we chose the menu of the day and were pleased. Although the staff made us feel a little nervous, it can be ignored for the food.

Very cute little cafe- the decor was nice, clean and open space. The service was great we were served by Radia she was so nice and accommodating and Sylvie gave us great shopping recommendations. Great service!! The cafe offers gluten free options and loads of vegan choices as well as an English menu. The food was good but a little pricey.

A good place to eat and have a beer here in the Center of Paris. The macchiato that I had and the apple cinnamon cake were great too. Good for widows that don’t know where their life’s are going on but always always thankful to the universe energies for putting in my way priceless people with the biggest heart ever. Beside the cries continue here in Paris all will be ok. I HOPE . ABRIL ……………

Hello everyone, not my first time there but I will have to tell you, it’s a real pleasure and a great Thaï experience to eat there. I highly recommend all the finger food. Great service, excellent and really fresh food and amazing cocktail (special mention to the Maï Taï). Don’t hesitate to stop by if you are close to the Marais.
Jean Maisonobe - 10 months ago

Good experience, would have given them 5 stars if the dish was as spicy as they say and if their soup had much densier texture.
Ch. Zeinaty - 6 months ago

This place is a real find. The food was authentic (I lived over 10 years in Asia so I’m picky) well prepared, all around comforting and delicious. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and the location. The staff were very accommodating to us and other parties arriving at busy Saturday lunch time. Highly recommended!
