Reviews
The location of the hotel is great. The rooms were clean and spacious by European standards. We were 2 floors up from the street via a narrow staircase. No elevator. That is also not uncommon and hotel staff did offer to assist with our bags. The front part of the main floor was under construction which spilled over into the reception area. Two small areas of concern. 1) We believed we had paid a rate that included breakfast. When I went to check it out in the morning for my wife and I, staff informed my we did not have breakfast included. My wife decided to stay in the room and get ready to leave. I ordered coffee and looked at news for about 30 minutes. At that time, the staff informed me they made a mistake and we did have breakfast included. It was too late for either my wife or I to enjoy it as we had to get to the airport. 2) They have a cat(s). The house cat was cute enough but I have an allergy and he/she obviously goes into guest rooms. I had to block the cat from entering the room with us each time. If you love cats, you might enjoy this but if you don't, beware.

We had a dinner at the restaurant. The decoration, athmosphere was romantic & chic. It is located in a street where you can see the Eiffel tower! Highly recommend

Pauline was super kind and helpful. She managed to provide us with a beautiful long table to celebrate our friend's wedding on a Friday night. Service was excellent, food was great and so were cocktails. They were also very accomodating to create a customized dessert (cakes) within the set menu to make the celebration even more special. Thank you Pauline & team! Music and atmosphere are great for the 10pm service.

Absolutely loved our stay! This is the perfect street to be on, and the hotel to be at on this street. The floor to ceiling marble bathroom, the attention to detail, the service - we were so taken care of. Their staff is in high spirits, energetic yet quiet, helpful but not pushy. We loved the decor especially, as well as dinner in the restaurant with live music and a swanky Old Hollywood feel. 10/10.

Great hotel and staff! Everyone was fantastic. Only downside is the red under the hotel plays loud music until late, but I’m a heavy sleeper so it did not bother. Otherwise highly recommend. Stayed there with my 8 year old. The hotel has a “hotel manager” that is a cat named Ubu. Great trip.

The best food I had in Paris! Each dish was balanced in flavor and texture. The staff were so kind and fun!
Thank you for the experience!

This is the best meal I’ve had in Paris! The food quality was superb. The offerings were simple but on point. Vegetarian and fish options were not an afterthought. They were perfect. Beautiful presentation, and best of all, the service! What more could I ask for? I will be back next time. I am in Paris.
An additional note. This restaurant is one block away from a busy corner and gives you a calm atmosphere of a quieter environment just one block away from the bustling city.

Indulged in a solo dining experience at a charming French restaurant after a long voyage and day of meetings. Started with a lovely glass of Chablis which suited the entire menu well. The foie gras, presented in substantial proportions alongside thoughtfully paired pickled and fresh vegetables, was great (I was craving fois gras). Then I had the duck, which came with a deep sauce and wonderfully cooked French vegetables, the kind you’re hoping for when visiting France. Finally the chocolate moulleux cake, with fresh ice cream which was as delicious as you’d expect after the quality of the first two courses. I sheepishly finished nearly every bite of every dish. Merci to the staff for their kind and attentive service. Definitely recommended.

It’s is pity that photos of classic dishes rarely look as good as those of modern ones. Yet the explosion of flavours that we experienced here last night reminded us that the constant race for what comes next is not always an automatic solution to providing the deep and intense pleasures that what came before can so often provide. Fantastic experience!

The cozy little restaurant has a great atmosphere and is a wonderful place to experience French cuisine. Both waitresses were very warm and provided excellent service and the dishes were delicious. However, make sure to book a table at least a day in advance! At least during my stay in Paris, they were very busy every day.
Drusilla ZG - 5 months ago
Got here at 8pm but somehow left at 10:50pm not because we were enjoying our time, because we were waiting for our food to arrive.
The bread, butter, cheese and desserts was good. However, we ordered the yellow wine chicken and we were left disappointed with our food. Considering we were paying €39 for our food we expected the food to be more flavourful and the meat to not be so dry. The food was also relatively cold and considering we waited so long we expected it to be more fresh.

We went to Auberge Bressane after a visit to the Eiffel Tower as it was one of the few places we could reserve a table on a Saturday with short notice. And we did NOT regret it!
The food is decadent - not surprising based on its prices and location. We sat outside on a lovely evening, and as is typical of Paris restaurants, the tables were small and close together. It’s in a less-touristy area, so the outside seating was peaceful. Our server was a pleasure - he talked us through the many options, was patient with our American confusion, and even rushed the meal towards the end as we had a driver picking us up.
We had multiple soufflés, the roasted pigeon, sea bass, the Chateau Briand, and Sweetbreads in Puff Pastry. It was all rich and delicious with good portion sizes. The prices and formality are not necessarily suitable for an “average” dinner out. But if you’re looking for a delightful Paris dining experience, this is a lovely option!

The restaurant offers unique dishes such as frog legs, pigeon, and sweetbreads.
We tried them all and they were all delicious!
I highly recommend visiting the restaurant. Please come at 7:30 pm when it opens as the restaurant will be full by 8 pm

The restaurant got a nice cozy interior. The service is good. The seafood pantries is rather fluffy and light. The chicken leg is stuffed with olives, it is rather tasty and not too greasy. The meat is tender.
The dessert is good, the roasted almonds are crispy and chunky, and the ice cream is smooth and creamy. We had a good time, thank you.

Really enjoyed our dinner here.
Good food and good service. We didn’t have a booking but were lucky we got the last table available.
We ordered the escargot and cream soup for starters and the Sirloin and the sea bream.
The sea bream’s exceptional.
Spent about 40 Euro per person.
Probably best to make a reservation if planning to dine here.
Visited in Jan 2025.

My friend used the Fork App to book the restaurant, it gives 30% discount off the Ala carte menu item. We ordered the Lobster ravioli & grilled sea bream with Aubergine. The lobster ravioli was good, you could really taste the lobster in the ravioli. Unfortunately the sauce for the lobster ravioli was a little salty.
The sea bream was extremely well done with a sliced of grilled eggplant & eggplant mash with peas shoots & pomegranate seeds.
They provided tuna as appetizer that comes with a sliced of bread crouton. Service was decent, we had no complaints.
The ambiance of the restaurant was very nicely done. Although it’s abit weird getting there, you have to walk downt to a flight of stairs & turn left into restaurant
We ordered dessert too. Dessert was good, the Citron sorbet was good & refreshing , so was the white chocolate & Marscarpone cheesecake. They even served a complimentary thin sliced pound cake.
A thoroughly enjoyable meal, for 2 entree & dessert with the 30% discount, it cost us $54 Euros.
I did hear that the restaurant will be moving to Rue Amelie which will be an easy location to find.

We had lunch here 2 days ago while visiting Paris for the Olympics. Even though we were casually dressed because of the heat we were welcomed without hesitation. My wife had the eggplant vegan dish and I chose the veal. Both were excellent. We very much enjoyed the reasonable Brouilly wine served slightly chilled. I had forgotten this amazing wine, perfect for the summer, full of fruit not overly complex but absolutely delightful. Their signature dessert frozen coffee parfait is excellent. We may try the crepes Suzette tonight-yes we are returning to this elegant, comfortable and friendly restaurant.

Came in for the desserts and coffee. The service and location were very good.
For the dessert we got the cheesecake and soufflé. Both were OK but I didn’t enjoy the soufflé as much as I enjoyed the cheesecake. I felt like the soufflé was too light and was lacking flavors. As for the coffee, it was way below average.
Arwa AlBuraikan - 7 months ago
Came for desert as I wanted to try the famous cheesecake and I was not disappointed, I loved it!!
On the phone the lady said that the restaurant is open from 9pm for ‘tea time’ which is deserts and drinks, i think this is a great idea.
I was not aware that the interior was going to be as beautiful as it was, I didn’t come for dinner as the menu didn’t grab me ( was a special night so I wanted to eat the most traditional French food elsewhere) however the interior made me wish I had eaten here, definitely coming back!
(The pricing must’ve been incorrect on the menu though so do note although the cheesecake is €12 on the menu, i was in fact charged €14. I would not expect mistakes like this from an establishment like this)

A place where people go to show off. Parking their ferrari in front of the door so that their wealth is what you see instead of the beautiful view of Paris.
The F&B menus are simple and stylish but, the price tags are disproportionate to what is on offer.
The service was efficient but not particularly welcoming but I feel that it suited the mood of the place.

We have lost count as to how many times we have dined at Le Florimond. Lori and I bring our family to Le Florimond when we are in Paris. This restaurant features home style french food. It's like eating at your French Grandma's house. Our favorites included Grandma's stuffed cabbage and the mille-feuille. Rather than try to choose a wine let Laurent do it for you. Laurent is the manager of the dining room and our friend. I have reservations about revealing Le Florimond to the masses, I don't want it to get so crowded by tourists that it looses its charm. Send our regards to Laurent and enjoy an authentic French dinner. We are once again on the way soon.

I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Florimond restaurant in Paris. From the moment we stepped onto the charming little terrace, we were greeted with exceptional service and treated to a culinary journey that delighted our taste buds. The ambience was just perfect, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
What truly impressed me was their commitment to catering to special dietary needs. As someone with gluten and dairy restrictions, I often struggle to find suitable options when dining out. However, Florimond's team went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable meal without compromising on flavor or quality. Their ability to adapt their dishes to be gluten-free and dairy-free was truly commendable.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team for their relentless efforts in finding solutions and providing an outstanding dining experience. Florimond is a true gem that deserves every bit of praise. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for superb service, delectable food, and a restaurant that goes the extra mile to accommodate dietary restrictions. Thank you, Florimond, for an unforgettable evening!

We've traveled to Paris many times, and this is by far our favorite restaurant. We've been going there since the 1990's. The food is excellent, but the people make the experience first rate. Laurent and Pascal are charming and welcoming. It feels like seeing family every time we go there. Don't miss the Chou Farci and the Millefeuille. We cannot imagine a trip to Paris without a visit to Le Florimond, and we look forward to our next meal there.

As with many places in Paris, the service here is quite slow. They really need to add more waiters—having only one for the entire outdoor seating area isn’t enough. The food quality is average, but the best feature of this café is the stunning view of the Eiffel Tower from the outdoor seats. It’s worth a visit for the scenery alone.

Excellent authentic French bistro & perfect t for my friends first meal in Paris. Started with escargot & both had duck - breast & leg - all perfectly cooked.
Our waiter was brilliant but another server made us move tables mid-meal to accommodate a larger party, which took the shine of it.

Hidden treasure not far from Eiffel Tower.
We wanted a break from classic French food and soo happy we stopped in.
Beautiful ambience, friendly servers and delicious food made for a truly delightful and memorable dinner in Paris.
Everything was freshly made and served hot (spicy & temperature).
Appears to be a favorite spot of locals, staff knew many of the otherdiners by name.
Staff were attentive so they made us feel like we were regulars.
Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something different from the French classics

Great ambiance, friendly staff. Spoke English, were very polite. My two year old was with us and they were very sweet to him. There were no high chairs so if your child is used to eating on high chairs, this maybe an issue. My son sits with us on regular dining chairs so we had no issues with adapting. Flavors were good. I had the steamed fish which I hindsight o wish i didn't. It just was not the kind of thai food I enjoy and I love Thai food. Serving sizes for the Price were too small and that's the only reason for my 4 star rating but I guess prices are reflective of the up scale feel they are going for.
Tom yum Soup was yummy, the crispy shrimp dumplings were really tasty even my son ate it.

I recently visited this restaurant and tried a few dishes. Starting with the burger, while the bun was unfortunately burnt, the meat was tender, and the sauce was delicious. However, I expected a higher quality cheddar to complement the flavors.
The Boeuf Bourguignon was fantastic! The meat and bacon were perfectly cooked, and the mushrooms and potatoes were well-mixed. The dish had a rich flavor from the wine sauce, which brought everything together beautifully.
The beer selection was outstanding—truly flavorful. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the wine. Despite a variety of options, the wine I tried lacked taste and aroma, which was disappointing.
On the bright side, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, and they spoke English, which made the experience even more comfortable.

The service was helpful, friendly, until there was a problem. From the moment we pointed out the raw chicken in the caesar salad to the waiter, he started completely ignoring us, didn't even offer any apology, solution, discount. Even the second course, which was good, didn't save the impression.

What an amazing treasure in the heart of Rue Cler! Cozy, welcoming, and wonderful, we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The staff was so helpful, spoke very good English (our French was not so good), and offered a variety of suggestions. The French onion soup, crouque monsieur and the tiramisu were all delicious. The menu was very reasonably priced. This meal and the staff were one of the highlights of our Paris trip! The experience left me wishing I lived around the corner and could visit frequently, it was that charming. If you are nearby, you must stop in for a bite. You will be glad you did!

The duck confit shepherd pie special was good but I did have to add more salt. The soup was decent but seemed chicken instead of a beef base. Disappointed by the beef bourgogne which I expected more of a stew style.

The food here is good overall. The escargot (half a dozen for €16) is a little over priced as I’ve had better value near the Arc de Triomphe, where a dozen costs only €18. However, the onion soup here taste better

Full Review: A Taste of Paris at La Petit Cler
This establishment brings a slice of Parisian bistro life to its location, offering classic French dishes in a charming, cozy setting. Its popularity is evident, with a bustling atmosphere especially around lunchtime.
The croque madame was elevated with exceptionally stretchy cheese and topped with a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg, the dish struck an ideal balance between richness and creaminess. A light leafy salad accompanied the croque, dressed in a punchy yet light vinaigrette that added a welcome freshness to cut through the richness of the main component.
To complement the meal, the Vitamine drink (a blend of carrot, ginger, and apple) offered a mellow and subtly sweet flavor profile with pleasant earthy undertones. This thoughtfully crafted beverage provided a perfect counterpoint to the richness of the croque madame.
The atmosphere is one of the strongest assets. The interior is tastefully designed with handsome dark woods providing a sophisticated backdrop to a light, bright space. This thoughtful contrast creates a warm and inviting ambiance. The cozy setting is further enhanced by street facing doors, which can be opened to blur the line between indoor and outdoor dining. This feature not only allows for excellent people-watching – a quintessential Parisian pastime – but also creates an airy feel when open. On pleasant days, it transforms the dining experience into something akin to a Parisian sidewalk café. The inviting aromas wafting through the space further enhance the sensory experience, enticing both seated diners and passersby.
Service was a highlight, with staff being both attentive and friendly. The efficiency of service was noteworthy, especially considering the popularity during peak hours.
This bistro successfully captures the essence of French dining, from its menu offerings to its ambiance.
For those seeking an authentic French bistro experience, this establishment delivers. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely lunch or a cozy dinner, it offers a delightful escape to Paris, if only for a meal. Just be prepared for a potentially busy atmosphere, especially during peak hours – though the lively buzz only adds to the authentic bistro feel.

On a semi pedestrian street. Outdoor seats are in the sun in September afternoons. Staff was very friendly and efficient. They worked very hard to get more customers including by patiently explaining to passers by the menu. Onion soup was fairly good. The mesclun leaves in the salad were rotten unfortunately. When asked by the staff, I told them the leaves were rotten but they didn’t apologise or do anything about it which was a bit weird (why did they bother to ask?). The carafe bottles and the chocolate accompanied the coffee had their own logo. Toilet was functioning and clean.
