Nestled in the vibrant Marais district of Paris, the Bar du Marché des Blancs Manteaux offers a quintessential French bistro experience infused with local charm and a lively atmosphere. This restaurant is renowned for its authentic cuisine, cozy ambiance, and prime location, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining and memorable gatherings. The lively street setting, combined with outdoor seating that captures the gentle Parisian breeze, creates a perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal or a convivial evening with friends.

We walked past this location and decided to sit and eat. As with most of these places, we sat outside which was nice because of the breeze. Service was fairly quick but it was a busy time so there was a slight delay. Our food was delightful. Cooked well, and very tasty! We will definitely come back here in our future trips

I get it's not their fault that I got covid here. The people watching is good and they jam you in like sardines. I should have left - the guy next to me was hacking a lung.
The cocktails and snacks were fine, nothing to write home about. But aside from the covid, it was a nice place to stumble into.

My favorite haunt in Paris was closed for vacation.  I decided to take a stroll through the Marais seeking a classic French lunch.  Did I consult Yelp?  Apparently not or would have never set in.  This was the absolute worst food I have ever eaten in France.  I don't see how it could get worse.

Let's review what went wrong.

25 cl Sancerre Domaine Les Chaumes Jean-Jacques Bardin ASC 12.30 Euros

It is hot out today.  I wanted a cold glass of white wine.  Reasonable request?  Here I blew 12.30 Euros on a glass of room temperature Sancerre.  

I complained and 15 minutes later the waiter brought me an ice cube.  I should have just left at this point.

Escargots de Bourgogne Les 6 9.50 Euros

Burgundy has the finest snails on the planet.  God knows WTF they served me.  They were:

1.  Tiny.  Never saw snails this small.
2.  Chewy, dry.
3.  Overcooked.
4.  Desperately needed more butter and seasoning.

This was a disgrace.  They should let people know in advance that this dish is a disaster and not edible.

Soupe a L'Oignon 7 Euros

Campbells from a can would have been better.  

1.  The onions were never cooked down to a soft caramel stage.  They were undercooked and chewy.
2.  The broth tasted canned.
3.  Instead of hot bubby Gruyere cheese they used some shredded stuff which never melted down all the way.
4.  It was not very hot.  French onion soup should be serve boiling hot.

Service was nonexistent.  This joint is a solid 1 star.  1 star means don't even remotely consider coming here.  

Now I need to go out for lunch.  Complete waste of 29 Euros.

Come here for the internet and a cup of tea or coffee. Service is ok. Many items on the menu were unavailable.
I'd not come here again.

Had a glass of wine when it was raining and our dinner reservation wasn't for an hour. Waiter was happy. Place was slammed.ok for a cocktail or two. No idea about food.

After a day spent sightseeing and shopping, we just needed to rest our feet over drinks and snacks. Bar du Marche was packed, but we were able to squeeze between tables outside to enjoy a glass of wine on a beautiful evening. 

And that's the extent of my enjoyment.
Issues:
1. Tables outside are wedged together, so you will be able to hear everything the people seated next to you are saying.
2. Smoking outside.
3. Servers were overwhelmed. We had to flag them down to order additional drinks or food.
4. Charcuterie board was subpar.
5. Onion soup was subpar.

This is in a great location in the Marais, but they need to step up their food quality and service.

This restaurant had a very quaint atmosphere for a quick lunch. The service was decent, although we had to remind them about one of the dishes that did not come out for 10 mins after the rest of it arrived. Almost everyone said that their food was very good. Specifically, many of the different salad types were enjoyed. My friend said that his aperol spritz was good, but not great. Overall we would definitely stop in here again.

I ordered the escargot appetizer. It was only my second time but it was much better here. The bacon on the burger was not crispy so I would not recommend.

We tried to go to a different bistro in the area for lunch but it was too full, so we ended up just stopping here since we were all so hungry. We were a group of 6 and they were able to seat us immediately, so that was nice. Our waiter was very friendly and answered all of our questions and the service was fairly quick. Their menu was pretty extensive, with many choices of pastas, meats, seafoods, and salads. Wine menu wasn't as extensive, but there were a handful at many price points (€20-€40). Prices were fairly reasonable as far as Paris goes, between 12-25€ a plate. Salads ranged from 12-15€, pastas around 14-16€ meats and seafood up to 25€. Some people in our party tried the pastas, which came in large portions. My brother had an Irish steak of some sort, which he said was good. My husband tried the seafood risotto special, which was really creamy and tasty. I ordered the hot herbed goat cheese salad, which was pretty lack luster. The vegetables were bland and there wasn't anything interesting about it - just greens, tomatoes, beets, endives, and some warmed goat cheese on plain bread. 

After lunch we walked around for about an hour and I started feeling really nauseous. A couple of blocks later I felt worse and eventually ended up getting really sick from some sort of food poisoning (I think). I can't be sure that the salad did it to me, but this was the only meal I ate that made me sick on my whole trip. So maybe order fully cooked food items just in case!

I was ready to eat my own arm off and Bar du Marché was the first place I saw (didn't even Yelp it first, that's how hungry I was). We were seated quickly and our waitress was SUPER sweet and friendly. She spoke her best English and I spoke my best french, which are both elementary level, and we had a great time! She was a doll and took care of us.

The downside was that the food was just gross. I got the french onion soup and it was bland yet salty. We got the bone marrow as an appetizer and it was awful--no seasoning and wasn't cooked well enough. I was so disappointed since I love bone marrow. The hot chocolate was good, but that's about where it ends. If it wasn't for our great waitress, this would be a 1-star review.
