Café de la Nouvelle Mairie

😂 we finally got our stereotypical French rude waiter, we laughed about it. He doesn’t speak English he says, but could speak it rudely to say NO FOOOOOD even though one of he’s English words sounded like cake when he was telling us what he had available. We still ordered coffee. No menus in English maybe they don’t like us tourists there. Oh well we are here and still sitting. I still gave it 5 stars because we got the authentic French experience from the waiter which we only read about in books.

Loved this local cafe - busy, full of local people and great buzz. Once something is gone, it is gone - a small sacrifice for freshly cooked produce. Our best lunch in Paris by far and also decent prices.

Our first night in Paris after a very long and unfortunately eventful journey. We made it to our rooms late and exhausted, but also starving after traveling for over 24 hours. We stumbled across the street to this restaurant simply because it was close and open. It was also perfect. They don't have an English language menu, but the waiter tried to help us with the words we didn't know, and in the end we mostly guessed at what we were ordering. Imagine throwing darts blindfolded and hitting a bullseye every time. That was our experience.

This place is incredible. The food and wine were delicious. Our waiter Maxime was super fun, patient and excellent at making suggestions for wine. He translated the whole menu for us. We had the beef dish and the white fish, both were beyond amazing and cooked to perfection. We highly recommend this place, it's off the beaten track, quiet and away from all the tourists.

Oh my goodness - I live in Paris so I am very used to how shall I say it unpleasant behaviour but for me to write a review means really really bad! I ordered a coffee at the bar and paid for it but had the audacity to take it to sit down in a completely empty restaurant. The incredibly rude server said that sitting down was for customers only - obviously coffee at a “cafe” means I am not a customer. Needless to say I left after paying for but not drinking my coffee. By all means go here if you want to see just how bad customer service can be!

Wonderful atmosphere and cool zinc bar top. Very friendly waiter. Food is 6/10

My favorite meal while Paris! Lovely atmosphere and the food was great.

Lovely cafe, small but cozy, such a welcoming vibe. The receptionist lady was polite and kind. Just one little flaw though — a couple that entered the café after me got to order and was served before me. It seemed like they were regulars, but even if that was not the case, they had a long and nice conversation with the receptionist lady. It was not a big deal for me since I was not in a hurry, but it was a serious one for a café.
