Pizza was great!  As was the salad.

The service could have been better, but wasn't bad.  We were sat quickly and our order was taken quickly but our appetizer came out with everything all at once making our small table insufficient to support our food.  Again, not a major issue but the one reason it's not 5 star.

If you have picky eaters, or love pizza, it's a nice spot by the Eiffel Tower.

I always hate writing a bad review, but do feel a bit obligated to warn people about my experience. 

First, I should say the ambiance at night is especially nice and the location, being a stones throw from the Eiffel tower, is convenient for tourists. The service was also good. The staff speaks multiple languages catering to tourists from all over the world. It follows then, that we saw was nothing but families of tourists crammed on to a terrace eating overpriced food all hoping for an authentic Parisian dining experience. Of which, this was not.

I found the prices to be extremely high for the quality of faire offered, even for a tourist trap -over $11 USD for a glass of coke! I've travelled extensively all over the world and Firmine sets the record for the most I've ever been charged for a coke -including airports and amusement parks! The price of the coke unfortunately is representative of the rest of the menu. Exceptionally overpriced, for average (at best) food. I feel this restaurant caters specifically to people who do not check the menu carefully... as the management has  confirmed in recent replies to other reviews, in which they brazenly dismiss other complaints saying, "that's why we have the menu on display outside". Oof, brutal!

Just for funsies, I'd like to ask Firmine Managment to reply to this review and tell me of any restaurant, that charges more than $11 USD for a coke -any restaurant, anywhere in the world. 

On to the food, I had the roasted chicken. This was a tiny, tiny chicken. Its like the size of a KFC chicken -but smaller. But that's ok, since my jaw got tired from chewing it before i could finish (see picture). It was very dry, bland and extremely tough -like low sodium chicken jerkey. It reminded me of when I once tried to cook a raw chicken breast in the microwave and set the timer for waaaaay toooo long. On the plus side tho, they serve it with a small cup of drippings, which u can use to rehydrate the chicken a little before putting it in ur mouth, but once that runs out, or ur jaw gives out, meal over.

I would comment on my girlfriend's order, but I feel I've already spent too much time on this place... as you should feel too having read this review.

In sum, there are much better options in the vicinity. 

But as not to be a complete Debbie Downer, I'll end this review on a positive note, the 4 year old at the table next to us semed to really enjoy the pizza, as he incessantly screamed out "PIZZA! PIZZA! NOM NOM NOM!" while running around the tables. Lovely.

Very close to the Eiffel Tower. Perfect spot to take a break from exploring the city. The food was tasty, the service was very pleasant. We ate here twice during our stay and enjoyed both visits. The area is nice, you can catch a tiny glimpse of the Eiffel Tower while enjoying your meal. Can't go wrong with the pasta and pizza but we also tried steak, and roasted chicken with frites. We enjoyed our meal.

The food was amazing. Service was good. Food got here fast and the area is pretty good as it's close to the Eiffel tower . Great ambiance overall.

Hate to say bad things, but need to warn others.  This place has "barkers" on the street trying to pull you in.... (first red flag).  We'd eaten here before and the food is mildly just-okay.  My ONLY challenge  with this place is that it's an over-priced tourist trap - and will charge you way more than you should pay.  Service is fine, they speak multiple languages of couse, and given the location they sing their swan song to tired and hungry tourists.  I would recomend you not eat here, and instead cross the Champ-de-mars directly and head for "Pizzeria la gourmandise" on 28 Rue Augereau.  It's a 5 minute walk away and 1.) The food is a thousand times better, 2.) Prices are VERY reasonable and 3.) Staff friendlier and 4.) NOT a tourist trap.

This was a Yelp recommendation so we tried it.  It is conveniently located near the Eiffel Tower so it was a quick walk from the park.  The staff was incredibly friendly and eager to serve.  The ambiance was quaint with lots of festoon lighting and convenient street seating.  We chose to sit inside out of the damp.

Our server recommended our drinks and some of our entrees.  We started with a couple of speciality drinks, a Chambord Royal and a Red Basil (gin drink).  Service was incredibly fast and before you knew it we had our starters - French onion soup served in small copper pots.  It was very flavorful!  Our entrees were four cheese linguine, a Parma pizza and flank steak with fries.   All were very good.  The pizza tasted wood fired and the crust was well browned.   The flank steak was a bit tough but clearly was charcoaled.  It was very tasty.   The linguine was also quite good but was so huge a portion we could not finish it. 

This was a great surprise and a nice meal.

I absolutely love this place! The service is wonderful and the ambiance is great! The whole restaurant staff should be given a raise. The food is amazing and the restaurant sits at a nice corner.

Definitely would return to this beautiful cafe. The French onion soup is to die for. The chicken bbq pizza was delicious so much flavor.

This restaurant was sooo good! The best bbq chicken pizza I have ever tasted. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The customer service provided was good and fast. The atmosphere was cute and comfortable. I wish this place was down the street from me. I definitely recommend and would return.

The Firmine is a French-Italian restaurant that serves a great little pizza. As always we sat outside and enjoyed the wonderful Paris weather (we were lucky throughout our stay weather-wise). Yes it sounds unusual getting Italian food in Paris, but of course everything has a French twist. Great service and atmosphere.
