Café du Nord

As far as train station cafes go, this one does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s very close to Gare du Nord, has a decent menu with good prices and the service is quick. I had a steak and fries with salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ideal place to grab a quick meal before taking a train. Recommended.

Its a lovely cafe that serves great quality food, especially dishes of the day, Value for money is superb (cheaper than McDonald's!). Bravo

The waiter was really nice and accomodating. As for the price for a brunch (pain au chocolat, baguette, tea, freshly squeezed orange juice, three pieces of ham and scrambled eggs) it’s at 17€50 which is a good deal for me. Atmosphere is nice and welcoming as well. Would definitely go again due to distance from the metro and the train station and also how welcoming and accommodating they are to tourists. 10/10!

This place is right by Gare du Nord, and unfortunately, it's as much of a tourist trap as the location suggests First, I had to seat myself inside in a random spot. After a long time, I had someone come up to me and clear the table. Then after another some time, the same person came back and asked for my order I went with oefs du mayonnaise (eggs w/ mayo) and a croque madame, which is like ham, cheese, and egg sandwich First, i got the oefs w/ mayo, which was actually decent. the presentation of the mayo swirled within the hollowed out egg was pretty nice, and the overall thing tasted quite good - although most of the credit on that goes to the presence of the mayo, and not much from the restaurant's end when i ordered, i asked for a croque madame. however, they brought me a croque monsier - the difference is that this does not include egg. there was no egg present on my dish. also, what was very odd was this wasn't even a sandwich. it was two slices of bread, with slices of ham on each, and a single large blob of cheese across both of them. it was very odd - I've had croque monsieurs before and none of them have been like this After a few bites, I decided to give up on this. the bread was not good, but most importantly, it was wayyyy too cheesy to even really be edible. The price ended up being around 20 euros in total, and considering I only finished the eggs, it was not justified. at least the portion size on the croque monsieur was decent? Overall, this is place with pretty bad food, that's crowded, and with terrible service. 2/10

I came here for lunch with 2 other people. This wouldn’t have been my first choice to eat because it’s right across from a major train station, but I wasn’t the one picking. I ordered the French onion soup (totally bland), a side salad (inedible), and fries (indescribably disappointing). I also ordered the St. Germaine Spritz, which was surprisingly good. The service was quick and the waiters weren’t overly friendly, but that’s to be expected. The ambiance was what you would expect for a busy restaurant across from a large train station. Overall, I wouldn’t choose to come back to this place.
