Across the street from one of the campuses of the Sorbonne, Le Buisson Ardent is typical Parisian bistro frequented by faculty, students and locals. Having recently eaten at Libertine in New York I can tell you that the food here is far superior to anything that even a hot spot like Libertine is serve. The ambiance is great while the service is hurried and gruff, but you come for the food not the charming wit of the server.

Our server was great.  Lots of personality.  Food was good.  Soup was a cold soup which was excellent we just didn't expect it cold.  Steak and burger were ok nothing to Write home about.

We had the best time at Le Buisson Ardent!
We were staying in a hotel not far from here and decided to pop in for a bite.

We managed to snag a table for two and had a wonderful mid-evening experience filled with delicious drinks and food. 

In addition to a few beers, we ordered an extravagant charcuterie board full of goodies - bread, crackers, cheese, cured meats, foie gras, you name it. 

It was the perfect happy hour in Paris and we loved it. We even had a chance to interact with the owner and he was absolutely welcoming and delightful. 

We'll for sure be back.

Definitely a cut above the ordinary, Le Buisson Ardent is quite a special dinning experience in the Latin Quarter. Before extolling the deliciousness and creativity of the food, I feel compelled to comment on the absolute graciousness and warmth of every member of the staff from host to server. We were treated as though we might have been their most valued and oft-returning customers, even though it was our first time walking through the door. A nice feeling indeed, and excellent way to begin a delicious and leisurely meal!

We began with a cold fennel soup garnished with beets, crème fraîche and two exquisitely prepared mussels. It was simple and absolutely delicious. Our other entrée was a cold shrimp tart served on a crispy, flaky, buttery wafer. Mouth-wateringly wonderful.

The main courses included an artistically prepared salmon filet with sea vegetable, the poisson du jour in a heavenly broth with perfectly cooked fresh vegetables, and a classic, juicy pork chop done to a perfect medium rare, with puréed potatoes and a masterfully concocted savory sauce. 

But, the desserts really blew us away! Strawberries in whipped cream with leaves of white chocolate, raspberries and cream on a crunchy, buttery thin cookie, and a magnificent gooey chocolate cake with espresso crème and impossibly delicate caramel and coffee brittle. 

The menu is creative, the presentations are artistic and delicious, and the atmosphere is completely charming and unpretentious. Our experience there was about as good as it gets in Paris and I now highly recommend it to you!

Great Dining in an "Art Museum" at wallet-friendly prices!
This must be one of the best deals in Paris, and I've been to hundreds of restaurants around Paris.  We live in the neighbourhood and have been coming frequently to this bistrot for years. Since the new owner took over about 3 years ago, it's been excellent. (The previous owner was not as good) The cuisine is creative and beautifully presented, ingredients are super fresh, and the service is friendly and obliging. The restaurant is a "Monument Historique Classé" which means they are not allowed to change the decorations because of the historic value of the paintings, but you won't want to , because it's like visiting an art museum while you're having a sumptuous meal! The walls are covered with beautiful life-size paintings from 1930 or before. The owner is from Britanny and has fish shipped-in from Britanny everyday, so their fish is super fresh. I've never been disappointed with their fish, and I've been there probably like 30 times (except when they run out). The meat and vegetable dishes are really good too. Cuisine is modern French, so you leave happily full, not feeling like you've been drowning in heavy cream sauces from traditional French cuisine. For the price of 19€ (starter + main dish) or 24€ for 3 courses, you really can't find a better value than this in Paris for a good quality meal plus gazing at historic paintings for a couple of hours. I recommend this place whole-heartedly, and I'm no easy critic! Given the beautiful surroundings, it's great for a date, or a classy business meeting, but they are also friendly to children.  Plus, the Seine river is just a 5-minutes walk away, with the best view of Notre-Dame (it was better before the spire burned down unfortunately) and the Eiffel Tower, you can take a beautiful and romantic walk along the river after dinner if you like.  (St Michel is a 10 mins walk, rue Mouffetard is 5 mins, Jardin des Plantes 3 mins, La Mosque 5 mins, Institut du Monde Arabe 3 mins, plenty of other places to walk if you prefer)

a cute small restaurant with helpful staff, quite tasty dishes. not a wide range of choices but the presentation and taste of both the entrees and the main courses was quite good. only the desserts were disappointing as they lacked flavors. 

not too expensive by paris standards...

This place was amazing. Great little gastropub with a small, but tasty french menu. Was recommended to us by our concierge. My wife and I both loved it. She had the spinach ravioli, I had the chicken breast. Both were delicious. The potatoes gratin au finoir (spelling?) were one of the best things I've ever tasted. Service was great too, as were the strawberry candies they gave us after our meal. Definitely recommend if in Paris

Excellent food great service.  We bumped into a corked bottles of wine and the owner practically jumped to replace it no comment other than a clear desire to ensure all aspects of the meal were excellent.  I've uploaded photos of the plates as the dishes were beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked!  A great night out with friends over an fantastic meal.  Very good service and only to ready to accommodate a larger party.

not a dining hot spot though i suspect that's just fine with habitues. a change in ownership has tweaked the cuisine from traditional to au courant. yet the ultra-cosy former coaching inn retains it's antique charm with bucolic circa 1920s murals.

on a previous visit, i thought menu of bistro standards good if not standout. now kitchen melds eastern flavors in savory seasonal dishes. like recently, fried rouleaux de printemps with mint-mango sauce, country style creppinette of pork & veal with roasted garlic beans tagine and velvety passion fruit glacé artisanal. frais et bon!

We had an excellent meal here. I had a starter of a spinach-filled ravioli. The ravioli was very delicate, and there was a tasty dehydrated parmesan cracker to complement flavor and texture. For the plat course, I had scallops which were perfectly cooked on top of risotto. Dessert was an mandarin orange gelatin/soup with a dollop of fromage blanc and a gingerbread cookie.  Others in our party were happy with their dishes. Since we were a party of 8, we ordered a magnum of red wine suggested by our server which went well with the meal.
