Their buttery croissant was divine without the need for anymore butter or jam. It was perfection just by itself. Pull those flaky layers as thin delicate pieces crumble and the inner layer, soft and buttery. Their freshly squeezed orange juice carried just the right sweetness. It was also beautiful to be one of the first patrons and have the outside seating all to ourselves. Friendly service. The scrambled egg with salmon was another good option. The pieces of salmon surprised me. How so very tasty. I gave each piece to my kids and husband to share the wonderful taste. I had tea which was okay, but my husband's coffee was very nice. Highly recommend breakfasts here.

We loved breakfast at Cafe Francœur so much that we decided to come back for dinner! Everything was so amazing. I highly recommend this place and I can't believe it only has 3 stars. 

I ordered the risotto with truffled ham and it was to die for. It came topped with arugula which added such a nice freshness. The caesar salad with crispy chicken was also great. As always, the staff were super friendly! Definitely eat outside if you can -- the ambiance is amazing.

The food was great and the service was excellent.

The view was classic Paris.

We particularly liked the mango ice cream.

After many failed attempts trying to dine at nearby bistros, we were relieved when Café Francoeur welcomed us with open arms. Despite the three star rating, we found our experience to be quite memorable. 

On a cool evening we were seated outside and heaters were conveniently placed nearby. How delightful, wouldn't you say? Our waiter charmed us with his quick wit and dry humor. I started off with an Americano aperitif, which prepped my appetite for a savory meal. 

Although most of the surrounding tables were sticking to drinks, me and the lady pigged out on carbs, cheese and meat. The three main food groups, am I right?! Steak Frites were an A1 choice if you ask me. The meat was tender, yet had enough bite to it, while coated in a rich sauce. The fries were cut thick, which tend not to be my preference, but these salty taters hit the spot. 

As other folks have stated, Café Francoeur appears to be your typical bistro. Compared to the sea of options in Paris, you might not have an extraordinary dining experience here. But don't let that deter you from checking out the restaurant, because they do a bang up delivering on the French classics.

Best steak and service I have had in Paris. 10/10 definitely recommend. The ceasar salad was also very good!!

Dinner in Paris is 730-8pm.   Sure you can always tuck into a brasserie and get a snack.  

But getting a coffee at 7am is virtually impossible.   

They were open.  Yes they were still setting up.  But I got my coffee and they let me be as they received shipments and set up.  

Yes they thought I was nuts when I shot back my coffee and paid with in 10 minutes but I had someone waiting on me.  

I never made it back but I would if I was in Paris.

We popped into this place on Saturday night on a whim. The place that we were planning to go to was all booked up so we came here instead. All the tables were full but we were lucky enough to get one for 5 people. Food came relatively quickly and the experience was truly one of a kind in such a bustling atmosphere. The dishes were balanced really well and overall, it was a decent place to have dinner. Servers were accommodating of English, although not outstandingly friendly, presumably because of how busy the place was.

Nice little spot but I was disappointed they gave me a water bottle when it's free for water but since I'm not a local they just gave me
That one.

Chicken was tasteless and the salad dressing was the same it was missing Lemon and garlic.

The problem with bistro like this one in Paris is-- so many similarities it almost hard to differentiate one from another. 
We came here Because it's close to our hotel and we were super hungry. In general most bistro offer simple breakfast menu: coffees, croissants, bread with jam, eggs and orange juice. Pretty standard everywhere. 
We both ordered the standard set breakfast plus scrambled eggs with hams and side salad. They have bacons but their bacon is actually look and taste like ham. 
The wait staff was super nice when he found out I love chocolate croissant. He gave me a side Nutella to go with my croissant. O ... so good!!  The ambiance is good if you don't mind the smoke. 
One thing we are not thrilled about is how many smokers in Paris and they smoke everywhere. Aiyooo..

We ordered coffee and salads, we just watched people passed by and enjoyed the afternoon.
