Definitely exceeded expectations. At first glance. Doesn't look as updated as the pictures posted before.  The bar is setup as half a bar and half cigarette shop. Outdoor and inside seating.

We went ahead and ordered a few things and the food was good. My steak was ordered medium and it came out as asked, medium. Needed a little salt for my liking but other than that was pretty good. Everything else ordered came out relatively quick and was pretty good.

The food was great! The service was amazingly and the overall experience was incredible!

Food:
I ordered the Ribeye.  Ordered medium-rare and it was perfect, just the right amount of pink/raw in there.  A couple side vegetables were offered and fries.  The steak was tasty, one of the best and best food in the area that I have had. Fries were not 10/10 but they were still tasty.  Bread came out cold but was still a good compliment to the meal.

My partner does not remember any details about the spaghetti but did say that it was good at the time. Big spaghetti fanatic. 

Service:
Waiter was prompt and came back to give us water/bread often.  He checked on us and made sure our meal was good.

Bathrooms:
Girls bathroom (toilet) was missing toilet paper, but when asked they went and put some in there right away.

This was the best meal that I had in Paris.  Contrary to what people say, I did not enjoy the food in Paris.  Not a big cheese/wine guy, and even the uber drivers that I talked to that recommended places to eat recommended food from other countries of origin.  this place was reasonable (compared to other restaurants) but still a little pricey.  I am American.

A lovely cafe. I stopped here to have a cafe creme and croissant most mornings during my holiday.  The service is very good and everyone was very friendly especially the owner which I'm particularly appreciative since my French isn't very good. I will definitely revisit.

Thank god for Tabac de l'Université!! I was visiting AUP and in desperate need of a restroom. The staff wasn't guarding the toilet like everywhere else. Great place for a morning coffee, lunch or to have a quick snack of French fries, coffee, water, beer but lotto tickets... at the counter. I feel very comfortable with Tabac de l'Université and truly appreciate their pleasant attitude. Longue vie Tabac de l'Université!!

Such a great little spot to grab an afternoon meal and enjoy the scenery with great food!  They have a great cheese sampling plater and a tasty burger (coming from an American, this is a high compliment).  The best thing on the menu is the Croque Monsieur! Who knew how tasty a grilled ham and cheese could taste! This place is not expensive at all and as a tourist it was a great find!

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool with friendly staff. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about and you can tel making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good and prices are worth it compare to other restaurant in the famous neighborhood around the Effil Tower. The chef makes the more most delicious food and art on the food is amazing. Presentation matter along with taste is a plus point by the Chef. Must try if around Paris

This is our favorite lunch spot in the seventh for good brasserie fare at affordable prices. Excellent value, good service and entertaining wait staff.

Just wonderful. We had ravioli and the half chicken. In the US this would be a top tier restaurant.

We were guided here by the other Yelp reviews having explored the Berges de la Seine and did not regret it. If you want an authentic French dining experience this is it....a tabac and restaurant where local office workers dine and tradesmen drink coffee and buy cigarettes. Lovely atmosphere and food, friendly and kind waiting staff (they threw in a free dessert for my son) and very genuine. My son had a burger that looked amazing - I wasn't allowed a go! I had the set menu for 17 euros for main course and dessert. It was all simply prepared and delicious French food. We will go again if we can!
