Brasserie Barbès

What truly set this place apart, however, was the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and made to feel right at home. The team was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about ensuring we had a great experience. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal. The food also was good.

We had a reservation for a party of 13 for new year's eve. I should've called in advance because their dance floor and rooftop bar was closed which, was a disappointment to our party. I did read the reviews about the cigarette guys standing in the corner and the not so savory area so warned our party beforehand on what to expect. We were greeted by a tough burly security guard, a welcome sight after being swarmed by the cigarette guys. It took awhile to get inside until a server peeped his head around the security guard and asked if we had reservations. Once inside, we were greeted very warmly and taken to the 1st floor. The ambience was cozy and eventually a live jazz band came on. We had one server for the entire floor who was amazing!!!! He was friendly, efficient and spoke a few languages. Our food came out timely, including our drinks. For appetizers, everyone enjoyed the escargot and oysters. I had the egg in cream sauce (forgot the name of it). Half the group had sea bass and the other the beef. I had the beef which was juicy and tender. Since the restaurant had nothing going on for NYE, half our party left to go elsewhere and the other half to a bar. Overall wonderful dinner but not the NYE we had planned.

The food was good but not great. A bit expensive. The cocktails were very well priced during happy hour. Inside the brasserie is lovely and quite large but outside are a lot of men selling illegal cigarettes.

We went to Brasserie Barbès as a group of colleagues during the Paralympic Games, and it was a great experience. They seated us on the top floor, where we enjoyed a nice view. We ordered drinks and food, and everything was wonderful. I loved my drink, although I’m not sure what it was called since my boss ordered it for me, but the cocktail tasted great. For food, I had a burger, and it was delicious—the sauce, which was like butter, added an extra touch that made it even better. One cool thing I need to mention is how we paid the bill. We just scanned a QR code, split the bill, and paid with Apple Pay, all without anyone bringing a payment machine. Isn’t that amazing? I’ll definitely try to have another lunch or dinner here before I leave Paris!

Great food and fantastic service. Friendly waitress offered us a choice of tables and the spaces all looked inviting (we chose one in a little side area so we essentially ended up private dining!) Our food was all lovely but I will admit by the time I got to my monster of a profiterole, I was defeated and sadly could not finish as I was too full from the previous good food 😅 Would definitely visit again next time we are in Paris and it was the perfect ending to our trip

First time in Brasserie Barbès and I was not disappointed! The staff were friendly and welcoming! I had a grilled chicken dish and it was delicious! I definitely will come back!

Very nice restaurant with extremely delicious food. The prices are more than reasonable. We will definitely come back!

You might hesitate at first, but yes, you need to go to the first floor for your dinner reservation. While the decor is stylish and the big windows are a plus, the rest is underwhelming: average service, average food, and a menu that doesn’t take risks. Decent for the price, but not particularly memorable.
