Great atmosphere, small and cozy with nice decor. Waiter spoke perfect English and offered us an English menu. I had the steak with fries and recommend it. Might have been my favorite meal while in Paris.

Heard about this place from a tv show and made a reservation for our first dinner in Paris...it's amazing! We ordered escargots, French onion soup, main courses including steak and fries, beef tartar and three desserts and of course a bottle of wine to share. The service was great but the meal was better! Seriously, the best meal we had in Paris and definitely will be coming back next times

Stopped by for an afternoon coffee/tea/dessert. Wonderful spot and very comfortable with plush chairs to relax in. 

Service was not great. Only 1 server for the room. Which I normally don't complain about. But he just seemed so bitter. Despite speaking with him in French. C'est la vie! 

Ordered tea, cappuccino and berthillon glacé, coffee flavor! Can never leave without trying their ice cream! My favorite. 

Wonderful relaxing atmosphere. Did not try the food but otherwise if you need a relaxing spot with very slow slow slow service, this is great.

The food was uninspired and the service uninspiring. Our red wine arrived hot and we had to request an ice bucket to bring the temperature down to an an acceptable level in almost 90 degree heat. Not a fan in sight and definitely no AC. In an area with other options, don't waste your money here.

Perfect rainy day pause. English spoken if needed. 
Tea, coffee, ice cream. It's part of this 1830's shopping mall.

Had very high hopes for this one.  The inside of the restaurant is adorable and the menu looked fantastic.  I think it's important to note that 3 stars is still good ("A-OK"), and Bistrot Vivienne was good.  It probably could have been better if I ordered something else, but you have to review based on what you got, and this entree was just good.  Nothing special.

When you don't really know a language, menus can sound so interesting.  This one had either an english menu or english translation on the menu, so I knew what I ordered, but it sounded more interesting than it was. Essentially, I got ham macaroni and cheese.  It was a small pot filled with macaroni pasta, ham, very finely chopped mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese.  Nothing wrong with it.  This was a good dish, but that's it.  It was just good.  Shame, too, because this menu looks awesome.  I don't know why I went with this dish, but I guess it called to me, and as usual, the voices in my head were wrong.  I should stop listening to them.  Doing what the voices tell you to do is a sure sign you've lost your mind.  Having voices is fine, as long as you ignore them and don't tell anyone you hear them.

On the positive side, my first glass of wine - a Bordeaux - was superb.  My second glass was still good but not as good as the first.  

Service was again, great.  Welcoming of us who only have a very limited and basic knowledge of the language (like, 300 words or less basic) and otherwise rely on google translate.  Standard Parisian service in that it is slow, but that's just France.  Meals are slow - you're supposed to enjoy the experience - not just rush in and out.

I also didn't love where we were sat - in the back of the restaurant in a small room or alcove.  It was very hot back there - lie the room absorbed the heat and didn't let it escape - and a bit cramped.  There was no need to sit us back there either as we had a reservation and the restaurant was half empty.

Here's the thing though - I would come back.  The menu had a number of very interesting items that sounded fantastic and look great in the yelp and tripadvisor photos.  Willing to assume I ordered wrong and should have gotten something else - maybe something that doesn't belong on the kids menu.

Oh well.  You live and learn.

When you can't stop thinking about a particular dish, you know it's that good and this is the case here. I couldn't stop thinking about the Coquillettes... Macaroni Shell Pasta with summer truffles, ham & Grana Paranoias cheese. 
The service is quick, friendly and attentive and the seating outside is more than pleasant with large heaters. 
Also note worthy is the tasty are the free olives.

A lovely and romantic dinner it was here on a rainy night in Paris!  Enchanting is their exterior's lighting, awning and lettering of their name!  Mesmerizing is the interior's orchids, rich red walls, and mirrors!

Luscious and delicious was each and every dish!  Classic French bistro fare heightened by their chef's usage of luxurious ingredients!  Loved their "French Onion Soup", "Jambon with Truffles", "Duck Breast with Foie Gras Sauce", "Black Beluga Lentils", and "Brioche with Salted Caramel Sauce"! 

Service was accommodating, welcoming, and non-intrusive!  Allowing us to relish all of our senses with this memorable dinner!  Je l'aime ici!
 
CHEERS!

This was one of the first meals I had in Paris and I had high hopes based on the reviews and pictures. The meal was mostly forgettable. I know I got a seafood dish, but honestly it was so average, I don't recall if it was shrimp or fish. My boyfriend ordered the pork dish which essential came out as a bowl of ham mac & cheese. And not the impressive kind.

Even though we took the time to book a reservation before travelling, we were sat in one of the worst spots of the restaurants. If you are a planner like me, I would email them and request in French, to be sat in a particular room or else be prepared to get stuck near the bathroom.

We had a nice dinner at this restaurant, including the duck and the lamb and the pasta.  All were very good.  The one miss, however, was the fish.  We had a cod (I believe) and the middle was woefully undercooked unfortunately.  It was otherwise a very nice meal.
