Café de la Paix

Had their famous French onion soup and Hausmann cocktail, definitely would recommend the cocktails. You could tell the bartender meticulously prepared the drink with good spirit, the Hausmann cocktail tasted amazing, and they gave cashews and olives on the side. Ambience-wise is alright, not as grandeur as the photos on Google, but quite pleasant, and love the fact that the tables were not so close to another. Would definitely stop by again for late afternoon drink in the future.

Tourist trap Food : Below average Prices : insanely high Service: slow. Very slow Not worth the money or trip. There is a lot of coffee shops around Paris that can offer you an amazing croissant with a cup of coffee without having to pay €50.

We had a super big seafood plater : Opera Royal x2 (Euro$115x2 plus Entrees : escargots, steamed asparagus and a soup ). The waiter was not attentive enough to change clean plates for us for the whole meal. The ordering process was not smooth. Staffs not patient and did not listen carefully. We had the wrong order at the first place, though the manager changed quickly but the experience was not good. We preferred the Entree to be served first then the seafood platter to share, but everything came at the same time and the table was too small. In general, food was good, service was not up to standard with this price tag : a bill of Euro $408. (for 2 Adults and 2 kids). Excellent food, service not up to standard.

Beautiful interior at the Cafe de la Paix. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the service. We ordered a bottle of water for seven people, but the waiter empty the bottle by the sixth cup, leaving my mom with no water. When the bread came, we asked for a gluten free option, which was acknowledged but did not arrive until the main course was served, which was way too late. We also ordered the seafood platter, and found that one whelk had an empty shell. When we told the waiter he simply laughed at us and did nothing to address our concern. The food was decent for its price, my personal favourite was the French onion soup. We also tried to soften the mood by speaking small bits of French with the waiter. The meal ended on a good note, with some delicious complementary chocolate, but overall the service was disappointing.

My most fav restaurant in Paris during the trip! The onion soup lives up to its reputation and the scallop dish was delicious. The waiter was very friendly, he made us feel comfortable and gave us excellent recommendations too! Love this place and will definitely come back again.
