LUTECE

Stopped here for a late lunch and had the fries and charcuterie and drinks from the happy hour menu. Very good. I don’t know what it is, but the French fries in France have been excellent. Not sure if it’s the potatoe or the frying oil, but fantastic flavour.

Stumbled upon this restaurant liking for lunch during Christmas market tour. On a whim we chose Croque Monsieur. It was amazing! Wait staff was busy but prompt and kind especially with our lack of French. Highly recommend…especially this dish.

Went here twice during our holiday and couldnt recommend enough. Servers were so nice and welcoming and the food was some of the best we had. Would recommend the Mousse and Beef Stew.

The Croque Monsieur was really good, the best I’ve ever had. The Mousse au Chocolat was also really really good. I loved the food, it was on point. Unfortunately, the staff wasn’t really helpful. I understand that the restaurant was busy, but they should treat all the customers equally with good service. I felt that one of the woman staff did not care to serve me at all. I asked to sit outside—no menu was given, so the other staff took charge. They forgot my dessert, and I had to ask for it twice to finally get served (even though the dessert is kept in the fridge right behind my table). I also had to ask different 3 staff for the bill to finally get the bill. Ultimately my lunch took longer time than it should’ve. All in all, the food was good but the service could be improved.

I had the famous "croque-monsieur". Like many reviewers have said, this place is nice but not great. Good but not terrible. It's a form "okay" if you want a quick bite to eat.

We enjoyed Happy Hour on 2 occasions here. Always found a sidewalk table for 2. Very busy intersection with LOTS of fun, interesting people walking by. Our handsome waiter (wish I could remember your name!!)was super and helped us relax after our first busy day in Paris. We collapsed in the chairs and he brought wine and beer to revive us!!! The food was great!! Location was perfect on Blvd Saint Michel. Not far from a metro stop. Our 2nd visit was just as terrific! Thank you for your kindness, patience, good humor and flattery! This is on our list of "Favorite Things to do in Paris"!!! Merci Beaucoup! ("My Queen")

Service was very bad. One specific waiter asked us to move to another table and the place was literally empty. Not to mention the disrespect. There was a trainee who was nice. Cappuccino was less than average and expensive for nothing.

I enjoyed two meals here while visiting Paris. The cocktails are generously sized, and the menu has a lot of good options. I like that the menu is focused, rather than having a billion options and doing nothing well. The first time I visited I had a St. Germain Spritz, a charcuterie and cheese plate, and the lime cheesecake. The charcuterie and cheese plate was huge and could have fed 3 people (I took a lot home), and it had a nice variety of quality meats and cheeses. And, the lime cheesecake is one of the best desserts I’ve had recently! It’s tart and creamy, like key lime pie but even better. The second time I had the Éléphant Rose spritz (yes, I like spritzes 🤣), and the rose liqueur was delicious and well balanced. I had a warmed goat cheese salad, which was simple, comforting, and delicious. I had crème brûlée for dessert and they browned it perfectly. I found both meals much better than the average brasserie. I really enjoyed the ambience—it’s a pretty spot with a classic look, and I like the little moon lamps they put out. The service was excellent. All of the servers are really friendly, and they speak English well. Occasionally it takes a little while to get service outside, but that happens everywhere in Paris. The first time I visited, I randomly mentioned that I had had an awful day, and the staff went out of their way to make sure I had a nice time there. I really appreciate their excellent hospitality.
