Nestled in the heart of Paris at 7 place Vauban, Le Vauban offers an authentic French dining experience that captures the essence of local culinary traditions. This charming restaurant, with its prime corner location opposite the Army Museum and The Dome, invites travelers and locals alike to indulge in a memorable gastronomic journey. The ambiance is a delightful blend of classic Parisian elegance and cozy comfort, making it an ideal spot for both casual lunches and intimate dinners.

Le Vauban is celebrated for its exquisite French cuisine, offering a menu that highlights both traditional and contemporary flavors. Standout dishes include a tender veal that delights the senses with its rich, savory profile, and a perfectly cooked beef dish that, despite some mixed reviews, showcases the chef's skill in meat preparation. The restaurant's wine list complements these dishes beautifully, featuring selections that enhance the overall dining experience.

Nice enough staff, French and English speaking. The veal dish was enjoyed, the beef dish was not.  The meat was very chewy, and both the meat and potatoes were flavorless.  The meat was cooked to the proper temp but it was not rested as when it was cut into all the juices spilled out.  This restaurant has a great corner location directly across from the Army Museum and The Dome.  The limoncello was fine, but overall I wouldn't return.

We came across this restaurant during our walk on a rainy day during our vacation. As soon as we walked in I can smell the food they were making and serving. Yummy. The ambiance was great. I loved the view we had when they sat us by the window. Our waiter was also patient and friendly.

Service was a big issue, they were extremely rude and conceited, a bald waiter was especially rude, as he yelled at kids to move in French! Not even stopping at any to try and concile or to apologize for his actions, disrespectful!

Hi! I am in Paris right now (september 19 2021) and came here. Ok! Waiters don't speak english well, you can google translate and show them. This place may not be "american" taste, simply food is very "local" oriented. If you sit here long enough, you will realize! 
However, service is very good! The head/chief of the server  is very favorable and soooooo nice! I don't speak french at all! Also if you like the "melts in your mouth type of steak..."do not come here... go to any of other steak joint in NYC. They cook with "real cow" that runs around the field and eats whatever is available on the nature. It is not the cow we eat in the state, so meat is very muscular if you know what I mean. It will be chewy for sure! This is a great place to sit and enjoy the breeze and just relax!

Very laid back.. to be honest I don't understand why there are 1 star reviews.. great staff who are attentive.. solid quality of food in the heart of history! Great wine selections.. they keep it fairly simple..can't go wrong if you're passing through Paris and have no clue if where to go. 

Highly recommended!!

Classy little cafe that made a perfect place to relax, refresh and refuel after visiting the Invalides museums. We sat outside in the covered patio/garden area, which gave us some shelter from the June heat and a little privacy from the street. Two Aperol spritz drinks were generous and refreshing on a hot summer day. We stuck to the same plate from the specials of the day: a cold mixed meat and salad dish featuring roast chicken, roast beef, and green bean salad. The chicken leg portion was a little tough but everything else was great - it felt a bit like having a fancy picnic. We finished off sharing a bowl of three ice creams since it was too hot for anything else.

Service was fine, slow but not unpleasant. Noticed that most of the other diners seemed to be locals chatting up servers who knew them, so it had the real feel of a fancy neighborhood place. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a meal after a visit to Les Invalides, if you want something fancier than the offerings on site there - and in a more relaxing environment as well.

Love love love this little cafe. As we were on a group tour we took a break here for some coffee and a snack. The inside is so fancy and just how you would imagine a cute little French cafe to look. We stepped right up to the bar to order cafe au lait and hot chocolate and the bartender was so friendly and gladly spoke a little English. They also had pastries set out so I couldn't resist grabbing a pan chocolat as well. All together the total was about 9 euros and I would definitely say it was worth it. We were able to sit by a large window and look out at the courtyard a few feet away in some heat (it was freezing out) and quiet. 

I would definitely recommend you to give this bar a try if you are in the area and don't skip the coffee, it is delicious!!

I often think that restaurants like this could be "much worse" because their view is so great. This place disproved this rule. The service is awful. The food is dreadful. I lived at number 18 ave de Breteuil so I know what I am talking about. They should be ashamed.

TOURISTS BEWARE. My family and I visit Paris yearly- we travel often and spare no expense for food and fine dining. 

We went to this restaurant and had the worst experience possible. When we walked in we were greeted by a rude waitress in a black mini dress who didn't make eye contact but shuffled us to the nearest seats. 

She rushed us into our drinks and order with the attempt to get us in and and out as quickly as possible (but there was no one in the restaurant 
!). 

There was another waiter in the restaurant who appeared to be the opposite- actually serving the clients width a smile and attentively. 

We both ordered steaks-the most costly on the menu- medium  rare cooked.  The meal was not at all paced. The steaks came out VERY OVERCOOKED- so much it was literally impossible to cut! 

On top of that she refused to bring us steak knives or water. We both took two bites and decided it wasn't even worth trying to eat. 

After about 45 minutes of waiting for her to approach us she came to take the food with her snarling face. After I told her it was inedible she walked behind the bar and threw it in the trash and didn't say anything. We were ready to leave at this point but she wouldn't give us the bill- so we got ready to walk out. We spend over $120 and left hungry and openly disrespected. 

This person has apparently missed her calling. No one in the world should be treated the way we were today. Especially not in a find dining restaurant.

Perfect for a lunch after a tour at the Invalids.  Great view of the palace and close to the Eiffel Tower. 

I had quiche and a dry white wine (suggestion from the waiter).  Everything was great. The service was on point, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely.
