We loved this little spot. Far enough away from the over-crowded tourist area. But walking distance. 
The patio is beautifully decorated with lights and flowers hanging down from the ceiling. 
We went in for crepes and champagne. It was perfect. Nice little daytime treat. 
Service was friendly and fast. Locals and visitors were both enjoying the weather on the patio.

I really love the food here and their customer service is top notch. Having dinner here twice already has been the highlight of my trip in Paris so far. I have had their bacon burger that came with fries and also the beef tartare which I really love. This time it came with super hard overcooked fries but when I asked for a replacement and with the herb roasted potato quarters my brother had ordered first, they came out quickly and were so delicious. My waiters the last two times I had eaten here were 100% professional and friendly. Overall my experience has been wonderful. I highly recommend to anyone who wants an amazing meal in a nice quaint neighborhood and with excellent customer service, then Le Poincaré is the ideal place. The restaurant is also not overly crowded and has a nice subtle ambience that I really enjoy and appreciate.

Pluses and minuses. Wait staff was polite and service prompt. I ordered the Caesar salad, which comes with chicken per the menu. The chicken is breaded and fried. Not the healthiest, but whatever, I'm on vacation. The larger/thicker pieces of chicken were quite good. However, half of the chicken pieces were scaloppini thin = dry and tough. For 18.5 Euros, it fell short.

A classic French street cafe, we stopped for dinner. Nice servers, several spoke english so we didn't have problems ordering. I however had a different menu than the others (QR code scan) and couldn't see the entire menu. No idea why.
We shared a meat platter and I had the sea bass dinner. Jut what you expected.

Great experience and food. It a good location and I highly recommend checking it out. The staff was nice and service was great.

A hidden gem just 2 blocks away from the Eiffel tower. No long lines no frills. It's mostly locals who eat in this restaurant so it gives you that Parisian vibe  a tourist like me longs for. The foods were all  from the Fois Gras to the duck confit and the lamb! Everything tasted like a Michelin star cuisine! Can't wait to go back!

The food and ambiance were both outstanding. We enjoyed it so much, we ended up going twice during our trip. The steak tartare and foie gras were so exceptional, we ordered them both times. I'm usually not a big fan of duck pâté, but the way they paired it with gingerbread completely changed my mind--it was surprisingly delicious and well-balanced.

Hands down the best bistro food we had in Paris!

During our 6 days stay in Paris Bistrot Le Poincaré happened to be just a few blocks away from our Airbnb. One day we stopped there for dinner and liked it so much that came back for lunch on the last day just before going to the airport :)
Both times we sat outside, watching passers-by. The service was quick and super friendly. 

During our visit to Paris we didn't go to upscale/fine dining/Michelin restaurants but ate at bistros and cafes similar to Bistrot Le Poincaré. Hands down Bistrot Le Poincaré had the best food we tasted in Paris! It was very fresh and absolutely delicious on both occasions! Presentation was also great like a piece of art! I wish I can visit this place again someday.

We highly recommend Bistrot Le Poincaré if you are in the area!

Dishes ordered

 Avocado Toast with Smoked salmon, beetroot caviar, feta cheese and egg yolk - this looked beautifully and tasted deliciously!
 Tuna Tataki - this looked beautifully and tasted deliciously!
 Duck Breast orange-flavored honey sauce, Spelt risotto with asparagus - duck breast was a bit tough, but very flavorful. Risotto was as good as the duck.
 Beef Tartare with herring caviar, smoked oil - excellent. Could get a bit more spices IMO.
 Poultry Suprême Stuffed with Truffle and Baby Spinach with Slow-braised baby potatoes - delicious
 Slow-braised baby potatoes - excellent
 Chicken Burger - good
 Sea bass fillet, white butter sauce with saffron - delicious!
 Strawberry Pavlova - perfect
 Crepe with Caramel - excellent French crepe. It was a great last note to part with Paris on :)

Food was amazing! They had amazing French onion soup and the grilled duck tasted amazing. Creme brûlée also was delicate, not too eggy, and smooth. Not too sweet either. 
Service was a bit slow but that may be the French way so we soaked it in in appreciation. The one thing was getting charged for water when we asked for regular tap water but maybe we should have been clearer or there was a language issue on our part. Will do better in learning my French next time I come! 
Ambience was great!

Ambiance: 
We were trying to be spontaneous and we walked around and saw this place. The goal was to try new foods like escargot and they had it on their menu. It is nearby the photo spot for the Eiffel Tower and the space was pretty big. What I noticed that in France the seats are really small good for two. 

Service:
The service was good! Most people can speak English so that is helpful. I wish I could speak french... I do notice that if you want the check you have to be proactive or they will let you stay as long as you want. 

Food $$:
We got some steak frites and wow the escargot was really good. I was nervous at first but the sauce that comes with it was buttery and like a green savory herb paste. 10/10
