Au Pere Louis - Paris 6e Arrondissement

Decent option for lunch or dinner if you haven’t booked anything else. Smoked haddock was great, lamb rack had surprisingly lovely presentation, great positive atmosphere filled with laughter and lively chatter. A bit pricey for the pub’y feeling though.

The food was good, but service was really, really bad. I’m not demanding at all, but it was clear that Americans were seated in a designated area of the restaurant. Very long stretches of time went by with no interaction with any server. I was not in a hurry and am more patient than most, but it was bad enough to make me actually leave a review. For context, I spend a lot of time in Paris and speak French. One of the worst experiences I have had here.

Friendly , somewhat slapdash service in a slightly shabby upstairs room , difficult to access. Ground floor room taken over by a tour group. No French couples in sight, no surprise, because the food is profoundly mediocre. Cannot recommend.

Great place in a fantastic location. Had the onion soup to start and the tartare main. Very good food, possibly even the best tartare I have had in Paris. Highly recommended.

We chose this restaurant because they were open on Sunday night, had a broad selection of French classics and were close to our apartment. Our service was shared by one really helpful and fun waitress and one who wasn’t. There were three of us and all of our meals were mediocre. Two of us ordered specials and they were anything but. Lastly, the value was the worst of all our meals in Paris.
