While I can understand some of the bad reviews this place gets, my experiences here have been great! It's located in one of the most touristy places in all of Paris, between Notre Dame and Ile de France, but I love the spot, looking at the cathedral and the river, and especially watching all the tourists go by. 

I have been here twice, both time with friends. On each visit, we were welcomed in, offered tables inside or out- first visit we sat outside, but the most recent visit, Paris was experiencing a heat wave, so we opted for a table in the cool inside. 

We ordered cold beers and the were indeed cold and refreshing. I didn't want a full meal, but I was craving Foie Gras, so I had that on both visits- delectable! Creamy and with just enough fat. Toast was perfect. 

While a bit pricey, I didn't think it was out of line for the location and the food quality. Also, our server was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to serve us.

A place I will never step foot in again. One of the waiters who may have been a manager was awful to me and my friends.  He did nothing but harass us.  I've included his picture. I don't usually do
Stuff like this but he crossed so many lines. Here's what occurred 

I was visiting Notre Dam in Paris with some friends and had to go to the bathroom. I stopped in at the 1st restaurant I saw.  As soon as I stepped into the property a man started yelling at me asking what are doing? I said I needed to go to the bathroom. He said they are only for paying customers.  Total understand so my friends decide to buy some ice cream and a sandwich while I went downstairs to use the bathroom. First of none of the toilet had lids or seats. That's crazy but whatever.  Then my friends went to order and ice cream and a grilled cheese sandwich. My friend used her credit card to pay and they yelled at her cause there was minimum charge for use of credit card. So they went ahead and combined the food to increase the charge.  After that while my friends waited the sat at one of the outdoor seats where that same man said no you cannot sit here and eat your food this food is for take away.  Keep in mind the restaurant was 10% full and no signs indicated any of these rules he is deciding to implement.  
He was so unpleasant raising his voice and just clearly did not want us in his restaurant but was more than happy to take our money. The restaurant is right across the street from
Notre Dam and highly traffic area for tourist. But yet the restaurant had barely any customers.  He did not need to be so awful and made a moment of our trip an awful experience.  Clearly he is not business for customer service and was mean and unkind for no reason. We abided by all of his made up rules but yet still was mean. I would never ever recommend spending a dime at this place.  Especially when in Paris every block has 2 or 3 restaurants. Eating out should be a joyous experience and we are not cheap people. If you offer good food and good service I'm fine to pay a reasonable price.  He is in the wrong business and is a mean person.  I've included pictures of him and the empty restaurant which clearly is a reflection of his awful behavior. Shame on you.

This is were the consultants and lawyers go for a quick lunch with their colleagues or clients. Nothing fancy, far from it, but an easy and affordable way of escaping the company's cafeteria. This is the "place de l'etoile" area so you know what to expect: high prices and not particularly agreeable staff who know they'll have customers even if they treat them like crap.
Be prepared to pay almost 10 euros for your pint of Carlsberg without a smile on the waiter's face. But then again, you're looking for convenience, not for a nice experience!
