Au Bon Accueil

A small and idyllic restaurant near the Eiffel Tower. The food was delicious and good. Before the dishes themselves, there was a small greeting from the chef, a snack. The restaurant owner was a stylish and elegant older gentleman who spoke both English and French fluently. There were two people with food allergies in our group and we had reported it in advance, but the staff had not read it and were not prepared for it. We were served by a young female waitress who did not speak or understand English well and was very pushy when she had to go to the kitchen several times to ask which dishes our group with allergies could eat. Otherwise, the dinner went well and we were satisfied.

The French onion soup was excellent, and the foie gras truly amazed me. The main courses, roasted lamb and beef bourguignom, were also incredibly delicious. Philipe was very lovly, and you could feel his dedication to serving every guest well. Sarah was elegant. The weather was nice and sitting on the terrace made the meal even more comfortable and enjoyable. I will definitely come back.

This quaint restaurant is classy and has a friendly staff. We came here with our friends for their 20th wedding anniversary and were warmly greeted as we arrived. The wine selection is excellent, and we suggest the Bordeaux! The food was absolutely amazing! Definitely go for the ceviche or French onion soup to start, and then the rack of lamb for the main dish!

I came here for my birthday meal, from the beginning our service was amazing, the food & desert were delicious some of the best food we had in Paris . Philippe served us throughout the evening , he was extremely friendly & talkative and nothing was too much bother for him. He even took some photos of me & my partner in front of the eiffel tower which you can see from the table! 10/10 would come again if we were to come to Paris again. Thank you ❤️

I dined with my daughters, lovely place, but the food was over done. Like the chef was trying too hard. The Good: My daughter had the cauliflower and lobster, she finished both. Good ingredients, well presented and prepared. The cod was very good and the skin was so well cooked and crispy. The Bad: There was just too much food. One is used to having a high end meal that does not overfill. The langoustine dish was over complicated, great ingredient, best kept simple. The Ugly: I drank too many beers

We walked past several restaurants before stopping here. The atmosphere and food were amazing. My only disappointment with service is that we didn’t receive a wine menu and they never refilled our wine glasses when did that for other patrons. All in all still a top choice!

For lunch on our first day alone we went to the Michelin Guided restaurant Au Bon Accuirl..founded in 1870 and still going strong under a new young owner who is determined to maintain it's heritage while taking it forward in this century. In a quiet side street with the Eiffel tower keeping watch over us from an azure blue sky, what better way to celebrate the magical x and love that is Paris. We chose the three course lunch for €39 a head. Start with the French Onion soup...thick, cheesy and moreish... while my husband had ceviche of Salmon with fish eggs. Fresh, sharp and delicious. We both had the same mains...pork carra with pomme puree and ratatouille. Well cooked, light, crackling as brittle as you could wish. Superb. For dessert ..a millfoulle and tarte cirton. The millfoulle was unlike any pale British version, thick and sumptuous. The tarte...sharp smooth and light. If you are in Paris...pay a visit here..it's definitely worth it

Amazing experience near the Eiffel Tower! By far the best French onion soup I’ve had in Paris — truly worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant, with elegant service and refined dishes. The pork dish was absolutely incredible — cooked slightly rare, tender and juicy beyond words. Highly recommend!

Wonderful dinner. Great view of the Eiffel Tower from the outside. A little cold for us to eat outside. But the owner/waiter kind enough to take our picture when the tower lit up. Most importantly the food and service were excellent. The escargot was terrific along with the Beef Bourgogne. Onion soup was perfect. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and a wonderful peach marscapone. Definitely would highly recommend!

Sneaky good meal! Booked because it has a great view of the Eiffel Tower. Food was yummyyy! Got a nice bite from the chef when we sat down. Service was friendly and great but not overbearing. Good drinks, too! Was a little expensive but was good quality.

Food was amazing and the staff were nice. Right by the Eiffel Tower so you can eat here and head to the tower when it sparkles after.

This was our most memorable meal and I cannot believe I never wrote a review for it. Well 6 years later isn't too late... probably. I remember finding this restaurant randomly while browsing good dinner spots near the Eiffel Tower. The photos of the outdoor seating with a view of the tower was the main draw. The food turned out to be spectacular. My husband, who never really remembers specific dishes unless it's a standout, remembered the dessert here. It was a play on orange chocolate, with orange sauce, a white chocolate disk with some puree, and some mangos. He would randomly bring up this dish for years afterwards. The rest of the food was a blur. I remember my dessert as well though. I ordered the rum baba because I had seen it on the Great British Baking Show and had never tried it. The brought out the rum baba, which is already soaked in rum, with a bottle of rum. It was so boozy and delicious. I had already had a glass or two of wine with dinner so you can see why I don't remember anything besides the dessert and the view. All in all, a great experience!

Probably the best place that we visited to eat the entire time we were in Paris. We had a wonderful table, could see the Eiffel Tower perfectly, and we still think about how delicious our food was.

The meal was tastless My wife couldnt eat hers I ordered beef bouglinon It was a minescule portion No taste and 25percent fat The french onio soup Was poorly made the Cost was a regrettable $135 e We use to enjoy the cuisine Here in the past with a different Owner. The first sign of a problem Was the paper napkins Last year it was a Mitchelin star Rated. This visit it was bad

Absolument incroyable is how we felt about our entire dining experience at this Michelin, Bib Gourmand restaurant! We walked in pretty late in the evening on a weeknight without reservations and they were pretty busy, but able to accommodate us. We liked many things we saw in their menu and chose to start with their carrot soup, which was garnished beautifully and tasted great! They didn't have a starter salad on the menu, but I asked for one and they said they could make something... what they made was beautiful and outstanding! Our main was their sole meunière which looked outstanding when they brought it out to the buffet, where the maître d' de-boned and plated it for us. The 4 filets we got from it were perfectly seasoned and brought to temperature. The butter sauce complimented the fish perfectly, but wasn't totally needed as the flavors from the fish were excellent! Then the whipped potatoes that came with it were the best I've ever had - Truly Amazing! Last course was dessert and we chose their version of a housemade Napolen... it was unbelievable! The pastry was perfect! The vanilla bean cream was incredible and all the flavors and textures came together to make one perfectly incredible dessert! The service and the staff were excellent and provided the best attention and service to us while we dined with them, with the maître d' being very entertaining and engaging. The venue is cute, quaint, and has excellent French décor. Their wine list and by-the-glass offerings were spot on for our dinner as well! Highly recommend giving them a try!

What a great experience and I'm so glad I picked this restaurant for the night. Food and service were both great! Wine selection were excellent. Desert definitely stands out. I will recommend this place to my friends.

Wonderful restaurant close to the Eiffel Tower! Lovely service. We ordered from the fixed menu and felt it was a great value for the quality of food. Highly recommend!

A beautiful restaurant not far from the Eiffel Tower. We went there for dinner last week and had a marvelous experience. Service is excellent and the food is fabulous. My apologies, I cannot remember what I had for the main course but I do remember that I had a tuna tartare for the starter that was heaven! I also had the cheesecake for dessert that was the best ever. Hubby had the chocolate mousse for dessert which he loved! Highly recommend this little gem for anyone in Paris. When we return, we will be back!

Such an amazing restaurant and one of the best dining views of the Eiffel Tower in the city!!! You will need a reservation to dine here as many walk ins were turned away. Had a wonderful experience eating here, we came on a Thursday, the place was packed but we scored a outside table. Waiter was very friendly, funny and spoke both English and French. I started with the Tuna carpaccio, had the Hake fish for my main and ended with the chocolate mousse dessert. The appetizer and dessert were plated to perfection, the main not so much. It definitely could have used a little plating work but tasted great! We came for a double birthday so they put candles in both our desserts, it was very cute. My friend got the rum soaked cake and as a funny thing they brought over an entire bottle of cognac and said to have as much as we want, complimentary. I will be suggesting this place to everyone who goes to Paris!

If you're in Paris and want Romaric Erving make sure to make reservations here! We ordered from the prix fix menu. Everything was phenomenal. Staff was friendly. Efficient. Some patrons tried to dine without reservation but it wasn't possible. Au Bon Accueil deserve everyone of it's Michelin starts. Ambiance was perfect. We sat near the window. Quiet, cozy and The Eiffel was just in sight. Can't wait to go back.

Just enjoyed a wonderful Valentine''s Day dinner at my favorite restaurant in Paris, Au Bon Accueil. An attentive and friendly staff, a fresh and tasty limited menu that changes with the seasons, and an upscale romantic bistro setting on a quiet street near the Eiffel Tower are some of the reasons that earned a Michelin rating for this neighborhood gem. This was a return visit for us like many of its frequent diners. Order anything on the menu with confidence that it will be a unique and exceptional dining experience. Shockingly reasonable prices. 39 euros for 3 courses and reasonable wine prices. The 3 course Valentine's Day menu was well worth the 65 euros.

This elegant bistro sits in a quiet street, a few steps from the Eiffel Tower. Service is impeccable, and the food is a mix of modern and classic French, very tasty. They offer reasonably priced menus, with various options depending on your appetite or wallet. I would recommend making a reservation as this restaurant is not very big and popular with both tourists and Parisians.

This was the best meal I had in my life. I did all three courses with the dessert and it was amazing! Completely worth the price, the food wasn't just a small piece of the entree but it was really enough to be full but it was also so delicious. Especially the dessert! Highly recommend, you won't regret it. You need a reservation or just go right when they open for dinner! If you sit outside, you'll be eating with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower! :)

We had an wonderful lunch here after going to the Eiffel Tower. I ordered the prix fixe three course meal (36€) and went with the salmon and mussel ceviche, duck, and brioche pudding. Everything was delicious. The entrees also came with a side of mashed potatoes. It was so creamy and butter. Loved it! Yelper Annie T. had the lamb entree. I had a bite of it and was in love. So soft and tender. The menu was in French, but the waiter did his best to explain what the dishes were. We came here close to the end of lunch hours so it was pretty empty. The food came out pretty slow though.

The food was excellent and our waiter provided great service! Will definitely go back soon!

Since we just had one night in Paris, I spent a lot of time researching restaurants within walking distance of our hotel. We were really looking forward to a lovely dinner in Paris. When we arrived, the Maitre D would not let us in and told us we needed to leave as they had just gotten a booking of a large party. I told him I had made a reservation weeks ago, but he said once again, we needed to leave. He was incredibly rude, did not apologize and I was never contacted by phone, text or email ahead of time to tell me they would not honor our reservation. When I was contacted by The Fork (the site I used to make the reservation) for a review, I found not only had someone put down that I had already left a review but it also listed us as "no shows"! The management of this restaurant is rude, dishonest and disrespectful. Don't waste your time. We stumbled upon Les Cocottes and were treated like royalty. We had an amazingly delicious dinner! Go there instead!!!

Great food, wine, service and view. The fish of the day was superb, so flakey, cooked just right. The chocolate ganache was the best ever!

Amazing! Best view and best food in Paris. We Absolutely love this place. It was a short walk from our hotel and the Eiffel tower. I highly recommend it

Excellent food and service . Reservations are a must ! Wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower specially if you sit outdoors . The owner oversees the entire operation! Very friendly and great atmosphere .

Probably one of our favorite meals in Paris. Friendly staff, beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower (we were sitting outside), good food. There is limited seating, so definitely make a reservation if you'd like to sit inside. We wanted to sit outside, since both the weather and the view were gorgeous. :) The service was also a bit slow, but luckily we had a lot of time to relax and enjoy our meal. I had the octopus dish for my appetizer, which was delicious! Lots of dill, very light. I had a fish dish for my entree, which had similar garnishes/flavors as my initial octopus dish, but it was also tasty and light. My husband had pate for his appetizer and a duck dish for his entree, which he seemed to enjoy as well, although not as much as he enjoyed my dishes. :) For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, which was quite different from the tiramisu we were used to, but also tasty.

Oh my goodness. Do not skip this spot when you're in town, must try! You can not beat the 3 course meal for €36 euros. Food: I had the salmon for the first course, very well seasoned and fresh. Portion is very generous. Then I had the grilled pork for my second course. You can smell the smokiness once the waiter put the plate on the table. Pork was a bit dry but very delicious. Then I had the tiramisu for dessert. BOY! The alcohol in the tiramisu is super strong. I ate half of the tiramisu because I'm extremely full. Service: excellent. The waiter explained every dish on the menu to me, and is very attentive. Overall: I will definitely come back because you can not beat the price when the food is absolutely amazing.

Great food and ambiance. Service was fast. I'll be back

Best dinner we had in Paris! We wanted to treat ourselves and have a real French dining experience! The service was incredible! Waiters made us feel like royalty and were extremely attentive to us. If you're in Paris you must make reservations. My husband already recommended a colleague that arrived to Paris last night.

This was our first stop after landing in Paris. My family of 4 was exhausted and hungry. I had made reservations several weeks before because I had read good reviews. It was excellent! They normally only seat groups of two at the outside Eiffel Tower tables but they put two tables together to accommodate my family. When the waiter found out we were American he kindly translated every menu item and we ordered one of everything! Their set menu is very reasonably priced and the food was authentic and delicious. My kids can be picky eaters and they tried everything and loved it. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Very good food with very good service. There is not an English menu, but the waiters are very attentive and will help with anything you need translated. Tables are very close together, to the point you have to move them to get in and out of your seat. We sat between two other couples and struck up conversations. If you're looking for privacy, this is not the place, but the atmosphere was very friendly, warm and inviting. We optioned for the three course meal, and I had the veal with asparagus, duck, and a chocolate cookie with ice cream for dessert. It was all very good, and filling. It is more on the business casual side than the casual.

The best best meal I had in Paris and in general. Had an excellent 3 course meal for 37 euros with a bottle of wine wine (24 euros and excellent). Octopus entree was to die for and the asparagus was also good-- both served its function of piquing our appetite. The duck leg confit with beet was divine. The duck melted in my mouth. The beef was excellent too. Some nice dessert finished it off. It's amazing how good the food was given its prime location with a view of the eiffel from outside seats. The wait staff was attentive and absolutely fantastic, with one speaking great english and giving us good explanations of the menu. The ambience is comfortable, leisurely, but still quite nice. Would love to return if i find myself back in Paris.

Lamb I ordered was great, as was the service. Nice quiet dinner super close to the Eiffel Tower. Great price as well for a high quality restaurant this close to the Eiffel Tower.

I wanted to provide an updated review. As a little girl, I always dreamed of coming to Paris. Let me tell you, this restaurant is a dream come true. I come back to Au Bon every year for dinner (going on five years) and it never disappoints. This year, we came TWICE. Because why mess with a good thing? Clients and coworkers are impressed every single time. It is by far the most amazing meal I have ever had! And the views cannot be beat! My additional tip is to ask your host for wine and food recommendations. The best Bordeaux's I have ever had were at this restaurant! See you next year, if I do not make a special return trip sooner just to visit you!

Au Bon Accueil is located just down a small side street from the Eiffel Tower. After reading many reviews prior to our trip to Paris, this seemed like the least touristy place in the area for a nice dinner. We were excited about the 3-course option for just 35 euro. Not too shabby! Our meal began with a martini glass filled with delicious olives and some bread. Neither I nor my boyfriend speak French, so we took our best shots at the menu. I imagine we could have asked for menus in English, but where's the fun in that? For our first course, I ended up with salmon over cucumber "tagliatelle" and he got a celery soup with bacon and croutons. To this day my boyfriend still says this is the best thing he ate in Paris! For entrees, I ordered veal with mushrooms and he ordered pork with medley vegetables. Both entrees came with a side of mashed potatoes. The entrees were both very good, but neither were exceptional. And for dessert, I have no clue what either of us got, but I remember it being delicious! See my photos to get a glimpse of the mysterious desserts. We also were given a few treats with the check. For 35 euro and just a few minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower, this place is truly a gem. The service was great (albeit typically Euro-slow), the ambiance was very "Paris" and the food was delicious.

Oh man this place was good. Great Parisian Food, not too pricey, and helpful unpretentious staff. A tad cramped but everything

Beware of places by the Eiffel Tower. But not this place! First time in Paris, ate lousy tourist food with a view of Eiffel Tower. This time I planned ahead and found this place. It was a good choice. While there was no view of the tower from inside, it is still located in the shadow of the famous Parisian landmark. It is only a 5 minute walk away, but seems a world away. Service, food, and atmosphere were all first class. Total bill for two complete meals with wine was 93 euros in 2013.

We went to this restaurant for our special night out and Paris and are so glad we did. The staff was very attentive. We had the choice of sitting inside or outside and were glad we sat inside because it felt very special. Everyone was dressed nicely- we were there Friday night at 9pm. The food was consistently delicious- the veal appetizer was amazing, and the pork belly was great. Left very full and happy, and our wallets were happy too!

A more upscale bistro as evidenced by the white table clothes. Although we walked in at 8 pm to a restaurant with just one old lady eating by herself with her dog, which was slightly concerning, the place quickly began to fill up. Perhaps it is the well-priced 32 euro prix fixe menu or being a stone's throw away from the Eiffel Tower, either way, the resto did have a balance of tourists and locals. For the non-French speaking visitors, English was not an issue. We (2 of us) had the following: Starters: Snails -- a classic dish of snails (served in shell) in a herb butter sauce. Chestnut soup -- Super. A warm bowl of soup that was deep in flavor. The croutons added a much needed and very pleasing crunch. Mains: Calf liver with potato purée -- as rich and decadent as one would expect. It was great. The potato puree, which is legendary at this place, is worth the hype. Steak -- a nice piece of steak cooked well and pretty flavorful. Desserts/Cheese: Chocolate cherry cake -- a winner of a dessert. A great classic flavor combination that has been nicely done here with a mix of textures. It was really enjoyable. Cheese tray -- a large selection of cheeses from the peaceful to the pungent. The best was the stinky runny unpasteurized prize offered here. Overall, it was a nice place to visit. The service could not have been friendly (a great way to start a vacation in Paris). And being that it is close to the Eiffel Tower, it is very easy to leave the place and stroll right over to the Eiffel Tower for a nighttime stroll and light show.

Friends made reservation here for our first night in Paris and it was a true delight. Close to the Eiffel Tower, intimate and great for a small group of friends. Everything, all courses, were delicious. Sauces as elegant and tasty as you would expect from a French restaurant. From the chicken, duck and steak main courses, to the pate, vichyssoise and salad starters, and ending with the chocolate gateaux and sponge cake with rum. Highly recommend! Reservations helpful, esp. for 6. With two bottles of a delicious Bordeaux wine, the total cost for six was 360 euros. A great value and find!!

Great location and really few tables outside to see the Eifel tower, make reservation mark that

I'm familiar with Chez les Anges and had enjoyed a few meals there in the past. Same team behind this one now from what I understand (although for some reason i think either they've only more recently taken over Au Bon Accueil or recently made some changes, so there *might* be some new variations from past reviews. The location is right next to the Eiffel Tower and if you score a seat on the terrace you will enjoy a very close up view of it during dinner. Inside it's a small, cosy, cute, crowded French bistro. The decor is standard and sweet and would tick the usual boxes for a tourist looking for a typically French dining experience or for a local looking for something nice but not OTT. I started with a smoked carpaccio of veal. Thickly sliced with a hefty dose of smoke, it was classed up comfort food worth the trip. My main of magret de canard was perfectly cooked and came with a few potato slices. All of our dishes came with a small bowl of potato purée that was so tasty you just know its packed with butter and giving your heart a work out. But so good. I finished with a cheese plate - small (which is okay by me especially considering menu price is 32 euro for three courses!) while the cheeses were the usual suspects (goat, Camembert and Beaufort) they were excellent quality. Bread is fresh baked crispy crunchy on outside and warm yeasty tasty on inside. We had some lovely both red and white domaine de la janesse. I like their wines so no complaints from me there. One issue was the long waits. I arrived at 8:30 but we didn't get the first course until after 9:30. I wasn't in a big rush and was having nice wine and with great company so it didn't really bother me - but after awhile it did seam like it was really dragging. Overall excellent quality/price ratio and I'll definitely go back.

Great little restaurant! My Wife and I did the tasting menu, which at €55 is a very good value. We also got a bottle of wine. The service is two very nice waiters who are more than happy to answer any question you have. The tasting menu started with a salmon, then grilled octopus, which was done to perfection. Octopus is not easy to get right and this was beautiful. After were some of the best scallops I've ever had, then onto duck which was also very well cooked. The end was two desert courses, the first of which was one of the most creative I've ever had. I won't spoil it for you, but I never thought those ingredients would go well together, but damn if they don't. Over all great dinner. Will be back.

We walked in on a Tuesday night and were able to be seated without reservations. The menu is not in English (nor should it be), but most of the items were beyond my French 101 knowledge base. So, we asked the waiter for recommendations, and he selected amazing food (still not exactly sure what it was). A fair warning, they are serious about the rum cake, that stuff is both delicious and lethal. I think I had a hangover from dessert alone (no regrets)

This was the best meal I've ever had in Paris. I travel to Paris at least once a year for a week, but I've never ever had an unforgettable meal yet. This happened on Friday at Au Bon Accueil: Exceptional french food. Spectacular beef tartare with red, green pepper and parsley, stunning boeuf with crunchy, delicious vegetables... that sauce was unbeliavable! Tiramisù "Au bon accueil" was a real treat... and the wine suggestion - Cote du Rhone - exquisite. Formule 36 Eur p.P. was definitely not expensive... in the heart of Paris with the best view on the Tour Eiffel. Service impeccable. Highly recommended. Closed on weekends

One of the best meals we ever had anywhere. Their pate ruinned me for all other pate....it was that amazing. Rum cake was out of this world. Service was amazing!

Finally came to this restaurant for a romantic dinner with my man, I am so full and the food was excellent! Definitely recommend the rum cake for dessert, and the pate as an appetizer was amazing. also would recommend the beef as a main course!

I wish I hadn't waited so long to review Au Bon Accueil. The memories have grown thin, thinner still by the champagne haze surrounding the evenings' events. I am certain, though that this warm little place behind the Eiffel Tower deserves five stars. Given it's incredible location, you'd expect the prices to be astronomical. It was quite the opposite. Only 35 Euros for a three course dinner of some of the butteriest French cuisine I've ever encountered. The servers were lovely and patient with our broken French. Again, I can't remember exactly what I had, but I know it ended with a cheese plate, a lot of laughter and roughly 10,000 blurry photos of the Eiffel Tower.

Yelp, please allow for an extra star, just so I can give this place 6 stars, for food, price and service. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that it's so far away from NYC :( Go there and indulge, and eat absolutely everything they have ( I tried) and then go back for more). It is that good!!!

Had a wonderful dinner last night at Au Bon Accueil. I was met at the door outside by a pleasant and entertaining waiter who spoke very good English. We ordered the fixed price 3 course menu. I had the octopus, quail and mousse caramel. All were outstanding. However, the octopus was just amazing! It was so tender and juicy, perfect texture. The sauce was outstanding with olive oil, pepper, capers, pine nuts, salt and dill. Just exquisite really. The service was very accommodating with all the waiters doing their best to explain the menu choices to the many English speaking customers. They were always patient, efficient and professional. All in all it was the best food we had in France and for Paris, quite reasonable cost for the exceptional quality of food. An aperitif of excellent port, a Demi of white wine and two fixed price orders totaled $110 Euros. Back in the states, you couldn't touch a meal of this quality for the equivalent price. I would highly recommend Au Bon Accueil!

On our last day in Paris, we needed a place to have lunch after doing the river cruise and before doing the Dali museum. Using Yelp in Paris to find places was basically hit or miss for me, and I determined I wasn't going to go to a place that was fewer that 4.5 stars. So we found this place and came by. It ended up being a bit fancier than I anticipated, but we didn't really care. We opted not to get starters and didn't get the price fix menu. I had the sweetbreads and my partner ordered the pigeon. They were both fantastic. We were blown away considering most other places we had been we fairly average. It was so good, and the wine was so nice, we decided to forgo the Dali museum and just have dessert, more wine and a relaxing afternoon before heading back to the Eurostar. It was a great decision. I can't recommend this place enough. For a place so close to the Eiffel Tower, it's way above average.

This restaurant was my culinary highlight in my recent trip to Paris! The food was spectacular and the prices were incredible for the quality of the food!! You couple that with first class service of the staff, it adds up to an unforgettable dining experience!!

Our best meal in France. Beautiful, delicious. Amazing view. Highly recommend. Definitely go if you can
