I went here with my friend Mario,  everything was perfect!  I am American so I ordered French food  but Mario wanted "this thing called corn fed beef from Nebraska ". I assured him that it was our best! We had a great time! I will always return, each time I return to Paris!

I had such a great experience oh my goodness! I can't wait to get back to pros just to go back and try more food! I didn't take pictures because it was good :/ . The ambiance was absolutely what makes the experience indeed. An old metro station turned into a fabulous restaurant. What an amazing concept. Service was great and the music was absolutely amazing. I've never had a better dessert than the toffee sundae omg!!!

An old train station that has been transformed into a cafe and restaurant.  The restaurant is enormous, by Paris standards, and the cafe abuts onto a public park and there's really great terraced seating whether "below" for the restaurant or at ground level for the cafe.

Bad service. Canned deserts served as "fresh". 
Plastic found in food....a disgrace for French cuisine. 
Avoid !

The venue was pretty and clean, including the bathroom. 

The service was fine.

The food was average.

Stunning restaurant set in an old Paris train station. 

Food wise, the menu rotates regularly so don't look at other reviews and expect to get the exact same dishes unless you're going during the same week the review was written. 

I started with a a delicious foie gras terrine, served with apricot compote and tiny slices of bread. Delicious. 

Main course was an Iberico Pluma, which is a unique cut of of meat from an Iberico pig. Definitely the highlight since you can't get this cut of meat on the U.S.  

Service was attentive and pleasant. I would definitely come back.

After a long time back in Paris, it has been a great refresh of the French delicatessen. All the dishes had a balanced harmony, letting the palate fully taste all the flavours. Service is helpful and very fast.

If you pass by the XVI, it is definitely a place to pop by.
P.s. try the Quasi du Veau - delicious

After my last visit, I need to remove 1 star - sorry guys but your service is appalling. We were a party of 9 and the waiter was consistently rude (particularly with the ladies - quite strange) and slow. Too many customers, too much money, too hype... I don't know.
What remains is still a spectacular location, good food and actually moderate prices for the posh neighborhood.

I haven't eaten at La Gare so far, I have only visited the Bar on the ground floor - but that was a great visit. Loved the atmosphere, excellent service. Nice choice of excellently made Cocktails. 

Negatives? Prices for Drinks are a bit elevated, even counting the location and the quality.

We stopped in for lunch without a reservation, about 2p.  It was August and the place was mostly empty.  We were invited to sit on the back porch upstairs which is lovely. 

The food was mostly good.  My kids had Croque Monsieurs, my wife a Foie Gras de Canard, and I had a Salmon tartare. 

The waiter was insouciant, once asking me curtly, if I understood him, in French.  What I discovered is that he was testing my smarts on whether, as an American tourist, he could take advantage of me. 

Upon completing our meal, and waiting about thirty additional minutes, the waiter told me that in order to pay my bill, I would need to go to the bar cash register.  Mind you, still very few people in the restaurant. 

At the bar, I was not given an itemized bill (first time in six days, and ten meals, I was not given an itemized bill).  Instead, I was told by his manager to simply pay $111 euros. 

I just happened to glance at the screen of the cash register, which was not facing me, and noticed the manager and the wait staff had placed not one, but two dishes of Salad with Chicken, which I did not order -- running up my actual bill by another $30 euros !!!! 

Its a shame that the waiter and the manager would both attempt this stunt.  

I would recommend that Americans, and other tourists, avoid this restaurant, as it seemed standard practice by their behavior.
