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

A wonderful stay from start to finish. The staff were fantastic - so kind and helpful throughout. The lift was a great addition, and the continental breakfast was lovely and fresh, especially the pastries, juice and coffee. The rooms were the highlight. They were huge, particularly by Parisian standards, and beautifully decorated, each one unique. The bathrooms were stunningly renovated with large showers. I'm so grateful to the staff for their kindness. I forgot some clothes on my way to the airport, and they kindly organised to have them delivered back to Ireland. They also surprised us with champagne to celebrate my graduation - a really thoughtful touch. The location is excellent, close to Notre Dame and the lovely streets of Saint-Germain. The adjoining restaurant was fantastic, with unique French cuisine at good prices, and it was a joy to sit outside in the square with a cocktail and watch the world go by. A huge thank you to Anna, Nila and all the lovely staff. We would definitely come back and highly recommend.

If I could give the Relais Saint Germain 6 stars I would. I visit Paris about once a year for work - i stay 3 nights - and I always come back to this lovely little storybook hotel. It feels like just the right thing - authentically Parisian and quaint. Great location. Delicious local food served for your breakfast each morning. Staff are extremely kind and unpretentious -. I recently had a mistaken delivery at the hotel after my stay and Ana was so kind to help get the parcel back to me in Canada.

Beautiful boutique hotel in ideal location. Helpful attentive staff available 24hr. Rooms much larger than typical Paris hotels. Room feels very comfortable and historic. The restaurant serves a wonderful breakfast and our dinner was our best meal in Paris.

This hotel was recommended to us by two different friends so we were very excited to try it. We were completely underwhelmed, surprisingly. There appears to be two parts to the hotel and our room was in the part where you had to take the stairs to an elevator and then more stairs after you got off the elevator. The room is advertised as 29 square meters, or about 300 square feet but it is chopped up so much that it felt like 150 square feet. The decor was very dark and depressing , more reminiscent of a funeral parlor. The bathroom had been nicely updated but the shower was incredibly small, while there was a full bathtub - bad use of space, as the bathtub could have been a nice sized, normal shower. Had to sit sideways on the toilet, due to the angled walls. Breakfast was good, service was touchy depending upon the mood of the person working that day. I’m guessing our friends had different/better rooms, as I could never recommend this based on our experience.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Relais Saint-Germain and can highly recommend it. Special thanks to Gilles, a true professional. I had an urgent question and sent an email late at night, and I received a prompt and helpful response with a solution. The room was spacious, clean, warm, and beautifully decorated in an authentic Parisian style, with a bathtub and a lovely view from the window. It was very quiet and comfortable, and I slept perfectly. The breakfast was delicious and could be ordered to the room. Overall, an excellent experience - 5 out of 5

Le Procope was easily the best food we had in Paris. I still remember every bite. The staff were so warm, friendly, and fun that I honestly wanted them to sit at our table and have a conversation with us. They made the whole experience feel even more special. The food was completely different from anything else we tried in Paris. Even the French onion soup, which you can find almost everywhere, tasted so much better here, rich, flavorful, and truly memorable. And the dessert, oh my God! It was light, not overly sweet, unique, and absolutely delicious. Everything felt carefully made and different from the usual dishes we had elsewhere. The atmosphere was just as special as the food. We ended up walking through all the rooms just to look at the decorations, the history, and all the little details. Definitely make a reservation because it can get very crowded. And don’t leave without trying the coffee!

Here’s the review with your additional comment naturally included: This gem we found during our last stay in Paris truly made the trip. We stumbled upon it by accident and enjoyed every bit of the food and the atmosphere. The restaurant feels like an old museum transformed into a charming eatery, with a unique character that adds to the experience. The Normandy beef tartare was outstanding—perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The Revolutionary beef tenderloin was as tender as could be, cooked to perfection. We especially enjoyed the potatoes au gratin. The “Ivre de Juliénas” coq au vin featured beautifully marinated chicken in a rich, dark sauce that I couldn’t quite identify, but it was incredibly flavorful and unforgettable. We were completely stuffed after such an amazing meal, but my daughter insisted we order the coffee chocolate dessert. She was absolutely right—it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. A special mention goes to our waitress, Noémie, who was warm, friendly, and attentive. She made us feel welcome, offered helpful recommendations, and added to an already wonderful dining experience. If you’re looking for authentic French cuisine in a unique setting with excellent service, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Got a chance to sit by Napoleons Hat. Apparent the story goes that he left behind his famous hat- as he had no money to pay for the meal he had. There is a lot of great things mentioned about this place . So it lives up to its high expectations. People make a difference to the service. Food is excellent. Elena the hostess, at the entrance was fantastic to accommodate our request of seating. Manu our waitress, was fantastic in making sure we ordered right .Her Wine selection was perfect. It a great place to visit- drink some great wine and indulge in some good old French historic food. Absolutely worth it.

We visited Le Procope during our trip to Paris and honestly weren’t sure what to expect. Given its history and popularity, I was a little concerned that it might be more of a tourist attraction than a great restaurant. I’m happy to say I was completely wrong. We ordered the braised beef cheek and the Coq au Vin, and both were excellent. The beef cheek was incredibly tender, the Coq au Vin was rich and flavorful, and the portions were much larger than we expected. The atmosphere was beautiful and full of character, making the whole experience feel very special. On top of that, the service was friendly, attentive, and professional. One of our best dining experiences in Paris. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic French cuisine in a historic setting.

This place was recommended by the staff at our hotel. It was opened in 1686 so of course we had to check it out. The meal was outstanding and the service was awesome. Our server plated our dishes of coq au vin and beef cheek rigatoni. Highly recommend checking it out. Even if you only want dessert!

We stopped here for our first meal in Paris excited to try the French onion soup. They were able to seat us for lunch with no reservation. We were seated indoors where it is open and facing the street. It was a nice view and we enjoyed that it was shady and we could still enjoy the breeze. We enjoyed the atmosphere and style of Les Éditeurs. The œfs mayonnaise were refreshing and delicious. It was our first time and I would compare them to a more fresh, refreshing flavor but similar to a deviled egg. The French onion soup was delicious as expected!

I went on my very first day in Paris without a reservation, and despite that, they immediately helped me and found me a table. Since I had just arrived after a long journey, I didn’t want to eat anything too heavy. I asked for vegetarian options, and the waiter recommended the classic French onion soup and a curry main course. The onion soup was truly delicious. The presentation was beautiful and the aroma was perfectly balanced. However, it tasted a bit too intense and broth-heavy for me. When I mentioned to the waiter that the soup wasn’t actually vegetarian since it contained beef broth, he replied, “That’s how French onion soup is made.” 😊 The curry main course, on the other hand, was excellent. The balance of flavors was very well executed. The rice served on the side was so hot that I burned my mouth — perhaps it could be rested slightly before serving. The atmosphere of the place is very impressive. It’s quite busy and full of energy. It seems to be especially popular among Parisian locals, with a slightly older crowd that is nevertheless incredibly lively. There is a constant flow of people, giving the place a vibrant, social, and truly “real Paris” feeling. The staff were very kind, attentive, and professional. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to feel the Saint-Germain spirit, enjoy a local brasserie experience, and dine in a high-quality atmosphere.

Starting with the pepper filet. Beautiful pepper corns in the sauce and the meat was very tender flavorful and tender. The cote du rhone was a perfect pairing suggestion by our server. Secondly my croquet monseur was also good and paired well with the Faugeres Red wine. The service was beautiful and not rushed which is the French way.
Andrew Uschenko - 3 months ago

This place is always bustling and is in a great location with a great atmosphere. We made a reservation and ended up in a front table as requested which was perfect. After that things went downhill. It took a long while to get service and when we did we ordered all of our courses. The first course came out ok and then we waited for the rest. The server was no where to be found. Another server came around and asked us if we wanted anything else which we thought was strange. Finally we asked the new server where our food was. The other server never put it in. The new server apologized and went to go resolve it. Our food came out quickly but it was not great. The French fries weren’t even fast food fries and were undercooked. A disgrace in Paris if you ask me. The rest of the food was just ok. Our second server worked really hard but this rating is for the first server and overall poor experience.

We were only in Paris for a week, but my wife and I decided to try every single restaurants onion soup and they were the best. All the food we had here was great but, I'll remember that soup. Not to forget to mention they had the most custardy and decadent creme brulee we had while in France, no where else compared. I'd go back here again for those two dishes alone. The pork I had was fantastic and had loads of garlic which I love, my wife had a delicious pasta with pesto.We ate on the second floor in lush red chairs in a quiet comfortable setting that was only a short walk from our hotel. Was fantastic.

One of my favourite traditional bistros in Paris. If you’re looking for a classic Parisian dining experience instead of modern fine dining, Allard is a great choice. The restaurant has been around since 1932, and the warm wooden interior, white tablecloths and old-school atmosphere make it feel timeless. The garlic frog legs were the highlight of the meal for me. They were incredibly tender and served with a bowl of rice, which paired surprisingly well with the rich garlic butter sauce. The escargots were also very good, especially with the fresh bread for soaking up the garlic butter. We also enjoyed the pork, fish and beef mains, and I highly recommend saving room for the profiteroles. The warm chocolate sauce poured over vanilla ice cream and choux pastry was the perfect ending. The dining room is quite small and cosy, so expect tables to be close together, but that also adds to the authentic Parisian bistro atmosphere. I’d happily come back and would definitely recommend Allard to anyone visiting Paris for the first time and wanting to experience a traditional French bistro.

Very delicious experience. Came for the duck and olives, and it did not disappoint! We started with the pate en croute and escargot, both to share, and we’d order them both again. After that, it was on to the main event. The duck was exceptionally cooked and the olives were a delicious (and fun!) combination. Great experience overall, and would be back! By the way, the sommelier was incredibly kind and knowledgeable…really appreciated her hospitality!
Khanh Nguyen - 3 months ago

Excellent service and authentic French cuisine. The escargot and duck were both delicious and beautifully plated. The highlight of the meal was a generous serving of some of the best chocolate mousse I’ve ever had (plus the staff kindly provided an extra scoop for the table to share)!

Dinner at Allard was probably one of the best meals we had in Paris last week. The food was excellent—classic, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor—and the entire experience felt warm, polished, and memorable. Chef Ducasse’s team does a wonderful job wherever he opens a restaurant, and Allard is no exception. A wonderful Paris dinner and a place we would happily return to.
Steve Tracey - 3 months ago

Great experience. Given to my husband to his birthday as he is a great chef in Czech Republic. His preference was to eat in Alan Ducasse restaurant, surprise done, more then I expected. Small, clean, great service, lovely wine, perfect food, wonderfull time here. Lovely weiters and the manager too. I never stay in restaurant longer then 1 hour, but here 2 hours were like few minutes. Meat was exactly as we ordered. Leavers, best I ever eat. Perfect french atmosphere. Love it. You have to go there. ❤️🙏

A multi screen cinema showing the latest movies in French. Different sizes, some rooms are nice enough but some are rather small and uncomfortable. One would expect better but cinemas in Paris are rarely much better!
A.G. M. - 2 years ago

Very well run establishment, very kind helpful team running the place . We witnessed the support and assistance offered to a handicapped person in need of help; very immediate response to needs, going as far as to help them into the theatre, find the right seat comfortably , unrushed, and without pressure… Venue was well kept, the temperatures as one would hope, the bathrooms clean (paper towel would be a plus), and the clientele matched : they found a wallet and left it at the box office to be recuperated by us about an hour later much to our surprise and delight.. thank you for restoring our faith in the kindness of strangers…. We were there to see screening of Yesterday - how fitting! Thank You, look forward to visiting you again soon

Average cinema experience with room for improvement UGC Danton in Paris offers a standard cinema experience. The cinema is clean and comfortable, but there is nothing particularly special about it. The staff are friendly but could be more attentive. Visitors are more likely to experience a decent movie-watching experience with nothing particularly memorable about it. What makes UGC Danton special is its location. It's conveniently located in the heart of the city, making it easily accessible to locals and tourists alike. However, for each star lacking, there are areas where UGC Danton can improve. One star is deducted for the lack of unique features and amenities that would make the cinema stand out from its competitors. Another star is deducted for the quality of the snacks and drinks, which could be improved. Lastly, another star is deducted for the lack of innovation in the overall cinema experience. To improve the cinema experience, UGC Danton could consider offering more premium amenities like reclining seats, a better selection of snacks, and more engaging pre-show entertainment. Additionally, they could consider offering special discounts or promotions to attract more customers. Overall, while UGC Danton is an average cinema, there is certainly room for improvement. If you're looking for a simple cinema experience without any frills, UGC Danton is a good choice. However, for those seeking a more elevated cinema experience, there are better options available.

Went on a Sunday night - the place seemed a little short staffed. Took very long to get anyone’s attention from the back table. Our server was warm and friendly but very busy. One of our water jugs had dangerous chips around the edge. The asparagus and morel starter was tasty and well prepared. The French onion soup was more beefy than oniony. Duck was a little underdone - there was still fat that wasn’t rendered through. Beef was tender and cooked well. But the biggest disappointment was the sole muniere. The fish tasted fresh but it was clumsily prepared- the skin was still left on and left scales in your mouth. There were tiny bones still scattered in the filet. The lemon butter took away from the sweetness of the fish instead of complementing it. It really didn’t do the fish justice and was not worth the steep price as well. Nice decor but I can’t find anything else I would return for.

A wonderful art Nouveau ambiance that takes to back a century. A monument historique with mirrors, landscape paintings, painted glass ceiling, invites you with a professional service to a classic French meal. A day to remember!

It’s almost perfect but it’s just not thaaaaat good for a 5 stars, sorry. Still, one of the few places you can eat poutine in Paris, the place was decorated with all the canadian stuff, felt very cute. The poutine was close enough to authentic poutine, the cheese was exactly like how you’d get in canada, i love it. And the drinks were actually good too, would recommend to try if you miss poutine in Paris!

I was quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. New York hot dog: never had a hot dog that good in NYC. Poutine was excellent, and my son had the bavette, also fantastic. Put this on your list of places to visit!

Very nice atmosphere...felt like I was back home. Poutine was loaded with cheese curds. THE Spicy Margherita was the spiciest one I ever had in my life and it was great. Met a nice couple at the next table from the states (wife originally from Montreal) and she recognized the sens logo on my t shirt.

We had a great time watching the Spurs avoid relegation. We made a reservation ahead of time and they had the table reserved for us right in front of the tv that was showing the game. Good bar food to watch the match. We would definitely go back for nother EPL game if we are back in Paris.

This was a recommendation we received specifically to ensure that as a family we could sample more traditional French dishes. We went with two adults and two children aged 13 and 8. The restaurant itself is certainly traditional in looks, pleasant and a little quirky inside. The décor if amphibiously focussed as you would expect, although one of the pictures on the wall of the restaurant by our table did take us a little by surprise... We opted for the frogs legs and snails for starters. Both were good and enjoyed by the whole family. The sauce that the snails were served in was very rich. We were a little surprised and possibly disappointed that they were not served in their shells, unlike in some other restaurants, but the taste was still good. For the main course we chose the steaks and the rabbit. For the steaks: They were properly cooked to our taste and enjoyed. However, we have to say that we have had better steaks in France. The rabbit was a little disappointing. It was served in an incredibly rich sauce that overpowered the flavour of the meat. Whilst I realise that it was advertised as with this particular sauce, it was just a little too much of it, and incredibly rich. It seemed as if an entire cow-full of cream had been emptied into a vat of butter just to make it. The service was friendly and pleasant, but there was nothing that really stood out. I have to say that given the premium price we paid for the meal it was, overall, a little disappointing. I know that we were paying partly for the location and the history, but I was left with the feeling that overall it was not worth the premium. On a final note, be prepared for some awkward questions if you take youngsters there and they need to use the bathroom. There are some frogs painted on the walls that really should have been told to "get a room"... This to the extent that this review was not published due to violating the decency policies.

We received a very strong recommendation to visit Roger La Grenouille from someone who ate their 30 years ago. We were a little skeptical because a lot can change in 30 years (ownership, apparently) but still gave it a try. The visit was worth every penny we paid for it. The food was excellent and so were the atmosphere in the service. We tried some of the frog leg dishes which were great, as well as other traditional dishes that were excellent. It's worthwhile reading about the restaurant before you visit, and better understand its history. Certainly adds to the dining experience.
A. Kramer - 5 months ago

Honestly, the food here is decent but nothing outstanding. Even the eponymous frog dishes aren’t particularly special. Don’t get me wrong, the food isn’t bad by any means but isn’t better than your average decent bistro. What stands out however are the vibes: the cosy interior with the live music really brings the place to life and makes it a lovely evening
YB - 5 months ago

Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were genuinely lovely and very attentive, which made us feel welcome straight away. The fried frog legs were incredible and the only place I found them in Paris. They were so good that I came back three times during my trip. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Paris, especially if you want to try something traditional. The snails in the wine sauce were also excellent and full of flavour.

On a not-too-cold Saturday afternoon in February, I visited the Japanese restaurant Azabu in Paris and was lucky enough to get a seat at the counter, where the chef prepared the dishes right in front of us. The ingredients looked incredibly fresh and were skillfully transformed into beautiful dishes before our eyes. I tried the fish and vegetables, along with a type of sake recommended by the host. It was a truly wonderful experience — the staff were so welcoming, the space was small, cozy, and very clean. Although it’s not inexpensive, it is absolutely worth the price!
Mana Neyestani - 7 months ago

I’ve known Azabu since 2012, and this is my first time writing a review of the place. Azabu offers traditional Teppanyaki from Kyoto, and the moment you walk in, you feel transported. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and I always choose to sit at the chef’s table — watching the chef meticulously prepare each dish is a performance in itself. The quality of the ingredients is outstanding. Every recipe is crafted with top-tier produce, and the presentation is always elegant. Their sake selection is excellent — they’re constantly sourcing new labels to introduce. The wine and beer list is equally well-curated. And the desserts? Simply out of this world. I’ve always loved the experience and the way we’re treated here. You feel at home. You feel cared for. Thank you, Azabu, once again!

we had a 4-hour long girls dinner here at the big table (thanks for letting us staying long..!), and the food was liked by every of us. we all had set menu, big portion from the starter to dessert. miso tuna and lamb were well cooked and fairly fresh! dessert is a bonus. authentic Japanese cuisine in Paris.
Gen Li - 10 months ago

Beyond the great food that deserves a Michelin star, the experience is unique! It’s a little Kyoto inside Paris. There is a room downstairs for 12-people gatherings! Also, the teppanyaki master has been working here for over 17 years and it shows the spirit of this place. Guests are treated even better! Cannot wait to come back.

I went here in 2018 after finding it by chance walking along the street. I was so happy to find some photos that I took in the restaurant that let me find the location again. The place is amazing and the food is even better. Great service and happy to go with the menu which contained some dishes I was not familiar with. They were all tremendous! I’m so happy I found this place again! It’s awesome!

I found this cozy place when I was wondering in the neighborhood. I liked the vibe inside. You need to order your food in the front and take your tray upstairs to eat. I ordered roasted beef sandwich. The bread was perfect. It was freshly baked and crunchy. The beef and other ingredients were ok (that’s why I gave 4 for the food)
Mina Taheri - 6 months ago

In a city full of some of the best restaurants and bakeries in the world, this was among one of my best culinary experiences in Paris to date. Their bread is delicious and their selection of salads was covetable - I wish there was some more places like this in London. A simple concept but so, so well executed.
Costa - 7 months ago

Perfect healthy lunch stop for delicious, fresh food and beautiful music. Big fan of this concept and sure to come back. My “everything but” salad with roasted vegetables hit the spot perfectly and tuned me up for my afternoon - all for €12, couldn’t ask for more. Bravo
Alexander Rabu - 8 months ago

Delicious hot fresh foccacia sandwiches. I love all the options they have; so this will suit anyone. You can see the bread being baked fresh. And then again after they put in the toppings. I went with the Stonker; which is fresh mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, arugula and olive oil. I made them add balsamic as well which made it even better. €9 is a steal for such a big sandwich. Order first and then lots of place to sit and eat upstairs. Must visit in Paris.
Samad Kadri - 11 months ago

Lovely place for a sandwich, dessert and wine. Prices are reasonable, with a menu you can get the most expensive sandwich, a glass of wine and a cake for €14.5. The food was good, the tiramisu was really good (with chocolate mousse). Wine was good for the price and to top it off you can get an espresso for €1.5. The place is comfortable and quiet.
