We had lunch here and had a lovely salmon and avocado tartar accompanied by a nice rosé!  The food was very fresh. We also had Crème brûlée and another dessert both of which were lovely. The service was excellent.

This was a treat, a short distance from the jardin du Luxembourg. And possibly Paris's best fries!! 

The servers were nice, and there is WiFi you can connect to. 

The music and vibes are fun and lively.

There's this fun charming youthful and coziness. True to it's name translated to "sweetheart". 

You'll find giant teddy bears guardians, hosts and as company.

It might be the most acceptable tourist spot ever.
Thought I was ordering actual pan fried foie gras though not the canned form.

Le Choupinet is French for sweetie or cutie a term of endearment.

This restaurant is popular with IG selfie takers who pose with some of the giant size stuffed animal Teddy bear. By the looks of the condition of those teddy bears, I would not touch them, after everyone else has :(

Like most restaurants it was busy, but we just wanted to sit for a while to rest from all the walking and decided to just have a little something as we had dinner plans later. 
Alas, a yogurt parfait mousse and espresso martinis...both Trés Bon! 

While in Paris in the busy St Michel area, it's nice to pause and sip a drink and do people watching with or without the cute teddy bear
Le Choupinet, a fun casual café restaurant.

The food and service were excellent.  We at outdoors at a cute table.  The artichoke was amazing, as was the lentil salad.  Also enjoyed poireaux vinaigrette and filet daurade was well prepared.

We loved it here so much, that we chose to dine here twice on our 3 day trip!  The location near the Luxemberg gardens is perfect, and the ambience and decor is adorable.  The service is great, no reservations needed. And the food and drinks were excellent!  The truffle pasta with a side of french fries was our favorite!  Highly recommended!

I enjoyed my obligatory escargot.  It was good, better than I've had in the States.  They seemed meatier and more succulent than what I'm used to.  The artichoke vinaigrette was not as good as I had hoped for, it seemed a little dried out, like it had been cooked and waiting in the fridge for a day or so.

Yummy food, beautiful decor, friendly staff who also spoke English. The menu had English and French. You can people watch ofnseated near window. Within walking distance from Select Hotel.

Stumbled upon this spot after leaving Jardin du Luxembourg and checking out it's fantastic playground. Such a great spot to come to with a hungry family. It's insta-worthy, unique feature of sitting giant bears at your table kept my kids excited and entertained. 

Our server was great and understanding that we have to feed my youngest daughter her own food due to her food allergies. He recommended the French onion soup which is one of my favorites so I had to try it! My husband got a burger and fries, my oldest daughter got a side salad and fries, and my mom got the goat cheese salad, which I had an opportunity to taste and it was delicious. I wasn't in love with the spinach ravioli because it was heavy on the spinach filling, but the french onion soup totally made up for it. As an appetizer my table split the escargot which I don't care for, but my oldest daughter tried for the first time and liked! 

Super cute spot! I bet it's pretty popular during the weekends and summer season given it's trendy, fun ambiance, great service, and good food.

We had a lunch reservation for Le Choupinet and arrived early. The hostess quickly and politely seated us among all of the teddy bears and other patrons. The atmosphere is unique and pleasant unless stuffed teddy bears are an issue.;) Everything we had was excellent. My wife had the Croque Choupinet which was a ham and cheese sandwich with potato's and she loved it as evidenced by a clean plate that is a rare compliment, indeed. My son had a cheeseburger and said it was one of the best he has ever had. I had the Caesar salad with chicken and it was also very good. The dressing had a more mayonnaise taste than the Caesar dressing I am familiar with but it was pleasant in small doses. The salad and especially the chicken was fresh. The prices were within Paris range which to say expensive but it's Paris.;)

Thanks Le Choupinet!
