Bistrot XVI

Very attentive and friendly staff, onion soup was really delicious 😋

This restaurant also provides a prepaid luggage storage service which is, however, quite terrible. In my case, I reserved until 15:00 but arrived at 14:00 to pick up. The owner asked me to come back at 15:00 because he is too busy and that I reserved until 15:00. When I kindly asked again to give me the luggage, he turned very rude, dropping a dish on the table and saying many times “unbelievable” as if I was asking for something not normal. It took him 1 min. to give me back the luggage. Maybe my concept of service is not the same as the French one but be aware.

The food was really bad. They served us a Caesar salad which had a really bad smell, we give it back as we didn’t like it and I still had to pay for it. We also asked for a medium stake, which was overcooked on the outside and really raw on the inside. The potatoes and mushrooms served with it, were oily and overcooked. Overall the food was really bad and we still had to pay for what we didn’t eat. I don’t recommend this place!

We stopped for breakfast multiple times while visiting Paris. Friendly young lady in the AM. Nice breakfast deal of coffee, juice, croissant and eggs for 12 EU. Desert another night was excellent. Relaxed environment. Not crazy busy like the big touristy ones.

Happened upon this place on our trip to Paris. The owner was so wonderful. He actually translated the entire menu. We came here every night for dinner. The linguini with Bolognese sauce, the Carbonara, and the veal were absolutely delicious. Loved the Cappuccino. Will really miss this place when we leave.
