Café Père et Fils

Our choice for dinner for our last night in Paris was Cafe Pere & Fils was an excellent choice. After 7pm, recommend reservations. It was packed with locals when we arrived, and that is usually a good sign. Bread and butter along with a recommended Bourdeaux were a perfect start to dinner. Three appetizers, Eggs Mayonnaise, escargot and the best onion soup ever got the meal rolling. Salmon tartare, steak tartare, followed by chocolate crepes and gourmet coffee finished us off for the night. Service was informative, food perfectly timed by courses, the atmosphere exciting and enjoyable with many locals obviously enjoying the evening as much as we did.

starting off with the environment- we walked past about every day, and it was more of a place to chat and smoke. the service itself was a little bit tough to work with as tourists. the staff at first didn’t exactly notice us when we sat down - but they eventually did and got us a waiter who could speak english. being some of the only people eating- the food did take a while, but you have to understand that they had to cook the food. foodwise: tried frog legs for the first time! i’ll tell you it tastes like chicken. the watermelon and feta entree, wow 😱 my fav dish of the evening!! mains- all the steak is amazing- and the signature dish is the octopus (or squid i can’t remember) i personally didn’t love it, but it was still a good dish.

Upstairs seating most quiet and comfortable, food was great. Splitting the bill was made easy, but they charged my card a second time, took days to sort out. Too clever with charging tech, cash better at this one.

Great meal and awesome time. Meet expatriot from Va, kevin and friend. Great conversations. Great local recommendations. If you heading to Paris stop and enjoy this place.

Lovely place to catch a meal. I had this one marked from an earlier trip where I’d missed visiting but managed to catch it on this one. It was everything we’d expected. Great food, with a large selection to choose from. The burger was fantastic! Service was a little cold but nothing that ruined our experience. In all, I would recommend the place!
