I can't believe Les Chimères doesn't have a higher rating! We stopped in for dinner on a whim due to the proximity to the metro Saint-Paul and had the best time!

The two servers/bartenders were friendly and chatted with us in multiple languages. Our wine selection was delicious, and we were given a sample to try something new. The food was fast and tasty, and the crème brûlée had the perfect texture. 

We really enjoyed our evening here and hope to return!

Awesome restaurant in a little village 3 hours southwest of Paris.  Discovered it on the way while touring chateaus.  Chef Thierry gave up the Paris restaurant  scene to start a restaurant music bar next to Brenne regional park.  Amazing spices, great flavor, wonderful ambiance.  Make sure to order his Moroccan fare.  Tagines, couscous, and savory pies made with phyllo dough.  Ask chef where he learned to cook and you'll be surprised...

Location is right outside of St Paul metro station and i would walk by it frequently and decided to stop in one day. One of the first things I hear people complain about Paris or the French is how rude and terrible service is. To be quite honest, I didn't feel that way - Les Chimeres was one of the places that had such friendly and helpful staff.
I grabbed a couple drinks here one afternoon, the place was packed and only had a couple opened spots left.

The food and the service were good. We arrived late in the evening and they were very nice.

Stopped by on a Sunday morning for a croissant and coffee. Nine euros for the formule (small glass of OJ too) is high but ok considering the convenient location. One of the best croissants in recent memory!  Who would have guessed?!  Not I. I'm curious what a "real meal" is like. I'll be back.

Great espresso and chocolate crescent.   Open early on Saturday.   Nice music if you eat inside, or grab an outside table and watch people stroll by.

Went here because craving scrambled eggs and yelp said they have them, but they do not and would not make them. That is no problem but I wanted to mention it in case someone else seeks scrambled eggs. Three stars is because the coffee was not good and is expensive due to location. Only finished my cup because of the price, otherwise I would have left it and gone elsewhere.

I had my first breakfast on my first visit to Paris here at Les Chimères. I was staying around the corner and I went for a walk looking for food and café. There are a number of options around, but something drew me here and man did I get lucky.

I had the best eggs of my life here (still the case 3 years later). The coffee, juice, croissant and toast were all really good. The eggs with ham and cheese were cooked perfectly and out of this world good. It was the cheese that took it to a level I feel few others could reach. There was such a depth and complexity of flavor, it was incredible. I loved too that some of the cheese on the outside had a crispness to it. I love the crispy/creamy combination that comes from melted cheese when done right. And they do it right here! I failed to ask, but I would imagine there is more than one cheese going on, but I could be wrong.

Accompanying the eggs was a tiny little salad. It was very simple with a piece or two of greens with one little cherry tomato and some vinaigrette. I was amazed at how much flavor was packed into something so small and simple. It was amazing and this too stands as the best tasting salad I have ever had. It's funny too because I remember being like 12 years old in French class and my teacher was explaining how some of the salads in France are just a bite or two. This one was just a bite or two and a powerful bite or two at that.

I remember the waiter being extremely friendly and attentive. I sat out front, but peeked inside and the place had a nice vibe to it. It was such a peaceful meal, the street was still fairly quiet that morning and the weather was perfect. The location is perfect too, not only on a great street for walking around, and exploring the neighborhood, but a stones throw from a Metro stop. I don't know how I managed to miss coming here on my last trip to Paris, but I will not make that same mistake again.

Les Chimères, jusqu'à la prochaine fois, merci beaucoup!

Les Chimeres was a quaint, cozy restaurant open late.  Lively late night crowd around 11 pm.  We were served  and politely by an unpretentious server who did his best to describe the specials in English. The onion soup was rich and thick filled with cheese, best I've ever had!  My beef bourguignon was fabulous; forget a knife, fall apart tender meat and neatly peared carrots and potatos in a dense dark gravy. The Mrs. had the basil escargot in a white wine sauce which was equally delightful.  Fair prices for the quality of food and warm atmosphere.

Of all the places we dined at in Paris, Les chimeres was close to our apartment and so enjoyable in every way. 

Sofiane (Sou), our multi lingual Moroccan waiter, enticed us in from off the street. This guy is a restaurant's dream server. Personality, efficiency, informative, has opinions, and best of all funny and charming. He's a traveler, so go here before he leaves. 

Simply put, all our dishes were great. Cheeses, breads, pastas, soups, salads, baked camembert app, even the French fries were the best. 

But then came the desserts. OMG! A delicious 3 treat sampler with tea for 10€ was the deal. No complaints and all luscious. 

WAIT! Forget all I just said. Go for this one thing if you go for anything - the specially blended hot chocolate. After truly being transported to heaven after the first couple of sips, and then sharing it with my dinner guests, I had only one choice: ONE MORE, PLEASE! Hey, it was my last night in gay Pari, live it up. And I did. 

Les chimeres is right by the Saint Paul metro stop and well worth a trip to Paris. GO THERE!!!!
