À L'Épi d'Or

The place is very cute and not touristy. Prices of wine, drinks and dessert are too high; however, food prices are ok. Quality of food ok not superb. Atmosphere the best part of the restaurant.

5 stars for all foods. However, This 2 stars for a waitress, she did very bad services. She was impatient and unfriendly for us. She pushed us finishing faster. And she informed us that if your reservation at the first round (19h or 19h30), we had to finish before 21h, but we didn’t see any notification from our reservation. When we were surprised why they can’t accept contactless payment, she was very impatient. (ATTENTION: This restaurant can’t accept contactless payment ) I’m so disappointed about the service. We are clients, we payed for all, we didn’t like to be treated such rudely !!!

Very delicious frites and rice pudding. The nice tableware and lighting will boost your travel mood. The waiter recommended us local beer.

I discovered the restaurant in the Michelin-Guide, list “Michelin-Plate” - traditional food. It was exactly that: menu with that tradicional French dishes I always wanted to try: terrine/pate …, steak Tartare, etc. the food was good. Nothing fenomenal but the classic, well executed. It was tasty and the portions are “ok-sized” - meaning you’re gonna eat enough and not feel too full. The service was good. We went for lunch, it was busy. I would have enjoyed a bit more room between the tables… The place was in my opinion too packed. Tables too closed inside. I liked the style inside, really typical of a French cafe, like in the old days. I’d sure recommend if you’re looking for tradicional French cusine. I recommend booking before (we did online).

Summary: Found a bug in the food. Waiter gave us a dessert but still charged us for the dish with the pupa. My friend and I came here for lunch and he got the green salad and the pate in bread (cold meatloaf) and I got the salad of the day (tomato salad with tuna pieces) and the veal in tuna and caper sauce and the salad that came with the cold thin veal slices had a pupa in it (yes, like a maggot that has cocooned) and they only comp'd the rice pudding we had afterwards which was maybe 7 euros and not the veal dish that had the bug in it. Other restaurants with true customer service would have given the entire meal for free for this slipup. On top of the pupa in the food, the food was quite mediocre. Every dish had one note to it (usually just salty) and was not worth the high and expensive prices even if we didn't find the critter in our food.

Excellent dinner experience, cozy restaurant and impeccable food and service. Highly recommend, make sure to have a reservation to ensure your spot.

Was recommended by a French friend to dine here and was not disappointed. Had the 3-course lunch menu of the day and it was exquisite. As was the service and the restaurant itself. Don’t be put off by the sometimes harsh reviews on here - I don’t believe they are justified. Best meal I’ve had in Paris to date and will be dining here as many times as I can before I need to leave. I had my baby daughter with me in her stroller and they accommodated her - as well as my parents, who arrived after I had already ordered! Thank you for a lovely meal.

the eggplant stuffed with minced lamb was just outstanding! friendly service. lunch was 59€ for the 3 course meal and a glass of wine.

This is not a review - hopefully a future voyage of discovery We had been shopping the other day and lunchtime was calling...just a few streets away from an old haunt, a real favourite, I cannot remember how many times we have been here in the last 14-15 years. But for Covid it would have been many more. L'Epidor...why not, its been ages...we went there and...it was closed! So Brasserie de la Bourse, next door it was We had a couple of chats with one of the waiters re L'Epidor...it has now been taken over by a famous Michelin starred chef, Jean-Francois Piege.  We couldn't discover if they will keep it the same - it had some famous dishes (and clients...many a time we went, Christian Louboutin was in the curtained off room at the back...his shop is next door).  It was owned by a little old lady and run seemingly by 1 waiter, who we got to know over the years...an acerbic wit...he was an institution there.  Apparently he lives close by & is often seen around In a review I found, Piege says "I didn't want to reinvent L'Epi d'Or, I just wanted to make it better.  I want the tastes of honest old-fashioned French cooking to survive as everyday food, not as part of some expensive nostalgic special-occasion meal".  The photos and reviews seemed to bear this out If that's the case, then we will book next time we go that way & report back to you...exciting to see what this marriage will bring If there are any Yelpers out there who have been, please tell me what you think

I made it a point to visit L'epi d'Or this trip to Paris as our meal five years ago was SO memorable. It's rare in life that a meal can not only meet, but surpass expectations, and this one has. The quality of the food, the attentive and often hilarious service ( from Dominique) and charming atmosphere makes this little cafe a winner. I had the filet with Roquefort sauce, my husband had the cod. The nicest fish I have ever had, gorgeous presentation. We shared baba au rum and apple tatin with our friends. This restaurant has many more reviews on Trip advisor, perhaps because Yelp isn't as popular in France. We were the only Americans ( and the only English speaking table) in a sea of locals.

This was by far the best home style, French restaurant we found! The staff was very friendly and had the best recommendations. The duck and the pork stew cooked in wine sauce, both had different and rich, dark sauces and add with a great bottle of red wine recommended by the server, and we were in heaven! I'd make it a point to find this place again next time we're in Paris!!!
