Brasserie Bellanger

The restaurant felt like a well oiled machine with excellent dishes, reasonably priced with lovely service. We came in Monday and they were fully booked for lunch so we sat at the counter which was a fun option! We were able to watch the kitchen. The flank steak was thinly sliced and came out medium rare. Excellent meal, excellent value. Definitely would come again.

This place is a real gem! It offers everything you hope for in a classic French brasserie: friendly, efficient service from the moment you walk in, all the classic dishes well prepared and a buzzing atmosphere in which everyone has their spot. Even when it is completely full, the staff are kind and attentive, and the kitchen works like clockwork (observed from my spot at the counter). And all at very acceptable prices. So forget all the tourist traps and so called “big names” and treat yourself to this classic!

Amazing place! I’ve always struggled to find somewhere good near the station, but this place is worth a visit wherever you are in Paris. Full of locals. Very classic menu, simple but superbly done. Fantastic wine list. Really lovely and friendly staff. Really great atmosphere at lunch. Busy but not overwhelming. Can’t wait to come back!

Delightful fun meal at Brasserie Bellanger. We walked past on a Thursday evening, saw that the place was packed & bustling, and were lucky enough to snag a reservation for Friday night. Very attentive service in general, always quick to refill our water jug and clear our plates (we were secretly hoping to get the chicken jug that was at the next table cuz it was hilarious). Our waiter was funny and spoke great English, and took the time to go through the menu and recommend his personal favourites. We enjoyed our dishes - onion soup, scallops, veal with creamy rice & veg and the catch of the day. Also enjoyed one of the wines that they recommended to us (can’t recall what it was). Good mix of tourists and locals. Loved the vibe and decor. Felt like a pretty authentic experience. Great meal to end off our last night in Paris!

Great food and friendly staff that speak English. Had an amazing dinner the first night in Paris. Highly recommend the duck dish! Also love their bathroom wallpaper and interesting faucet.

Food was amazing, waiters and servers were friendly! They were also welcoming to dogs. Initially sceptical of the reviews but gave it a go and the food was truly one of the best we’ve had. Would recommend anyone looking to try our good french food.

Came in earlier for our reservation and we were seated right away at the terrace. The service is fast and the staff are so accommodating. Really appreciated how they even asked if we need help with taking me and my dad’s photo. The food is also superb - we had the chef’s special which was roasted chicken in mushroom sauce and croque-monsieur which to do this day I rave about. Best place to eat for me as its also a bit further away from the crowds so you can really appreciate Paris slowlt. Definitely recommend!

Exceptional food, every dish was amazing. I’ve never had pork tenderloin so tender before, I thought I was eating medium rare beef. Beef tartar, duck, fish were also highlights. Wine was pay what you drink, so no pressure to finish a full bottle. For dessert we had the floating island and the mouselline, just chef’s kiss 🤌 The meal ended up being between 30-40 euro per person even with drinks. Wonderful experience with family.

So we came here to finally have real French food as we've been getting everything but French. I found this place through Yelp and Google to check prices etc. I called and the hostess said they were fully booked however I could walk in if I came at 7. So we walked the 2 miles to the restaurant. We then met our waiter Felix. Felix was very nice and helpful and spoke very good English. We ordered the onion soup, then Felix recommended the duck for me which comes pink and the sausage for my wife. The soup came first which honestly was the best onion soup I've ever had. Very cheesy, and thick but it was thick with bread being soaked. It was extremely tasty. We then got our duck and sausage. To be honest I thought it would be bigger. That would be my only gripe. It was very moist, not try, tasty and delicious. The Lima beans and potatoes that came with were also good. My wife's sausage was good along with the mash potatoes. Felix then sold us on the Paris Berit or whatever that was. And let me tell you. That was amazing. Think like thin sliced cookie bagel with cream in the middle. Delicious!!! I also ordered the homemade lemonade which wasn't sweet and I Could have done without. Everything was good.

Found Brasserie Bellanger on Yelp and been here twice for dinner this week. The first time, we were lucky to have been seated at the bar to see/watch as the cooks performed their ballet (per the website). We compared what sounded good based on descriptions with our server's recs and here's what we ended up with: * Asperges Blanches au Barbecue = Barbecued White Asparagus. This was outstanding. The flavors from the lemon vinaigrette, sage and poultry jus were addicting. * Magret de Canard Rôti et Poires = Roasted Duck Breast with Pears. This was tasty but I would have preferred if the skin was crispy. * Pêche du Moment = Catch of the day. Hubs enjoyed the white fish special of the day. * "Homemade" Lemon Iced Tea = nice presentation but I prefer Cafe Ventura's better. When you order, specify if you want the canned version or homemade. This place is popular and gets packed so make sure to come early and/or before dinner peak hours. The second time was last night after our visit to M'O (Musée d'Orsay). After standing on our feet all afternoon, we figured we deserved a good meal and Bellanger was a .7 mile walk. This time, there were no available seats inside but luckily for us, there was one table outside. It was a good experience to dine al fresco although it got chilly towards the end. We ordered the following: * Volaille Farcie à Partager = Stuffed Chicken to share for 2. You must order this! Beautiful presentation and generous portion of half chicken stuffed with olives and candied lemons, smothered in Grenoble sauce with capers, lemon juice and black croutons. Served with pomme croquette à la Lyonnaise and sour cream. * Poireaux Vinagrette = Leeks with Vinaigrette. The house favorite with homemade dressing, black croutons and roasted hazelnuts. Overall, an amazing experience. Exceptional home-cooked and seasonal cuisine plus great service both times!

Good French restaurant in Paris! I passed by this restaurant multiple times and it was always packed. Location: It is located around at the corner of Rue de Dunkerque. There is a lot of seating inside and outside. I sat outside cause I'm in Paris and this how Parisian do. Hehe Service: they were nice. No complaints even give me recommendations. They allowed me to sit even the kitchen opens 12. (I was there 11:30) Food: I was by myself so I ordered only 1 starter and 1 main course. AUVERGINE SNAILS: there are 6 snails, the snails was cooked properly. The snail butter is a little bit salty for my tasting. Its better to spread it on the bread. GRILLED FLANK STEAK: the steak itself is a little tough and gamy, not sure if that it's supposed to be. I ordered both bearnaise sauce and maitre d hotel butter for extra 1 euro. For real they compliment each other with the steak and fries. Price rating: 7/10. Its going to be expensive because you are in Paris. Definitely will come back to try other food on their menu. I loved to sit down outside and just experience eating in Paris.

Had a great experience here! The steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the Bloody Mary was one of the best I've had--so tasty! And OMG the onion soup was delicious!The service was excellent; the staff was friendly, attentive, and very accommodating.

One of the most amazing onion soups in the city where it was invented. Rich broth capped by delicious melted comte cheese. Service was efficient and friendly, and the vibe was energetic in the bustling brasserie. The bread was fresh and served warm. A great spot, highly recommended.

The ambience was wonderful, we got a seat very quickly and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We got are food swiftly and it was phenomenal, my granddaughter loved the food and the scenery. I would love to back to this beautiful place again.

Very tasty food at great price! Busy restaurant and service can be slow, but we got an offer for free dessert, so no complaints there.

We arrived at 5:30 but were told we couldn't order food til 7, so not sure if that's normal or not. We came back at 7 since I read the reviews and was set on going. Great service, seems to get busy fast. I had a spritz to drink, leaks with vinaigrette, and skirt steak with fries. We also got an order of country terrine. I really enjoyed the leaks very flavor, steak and fries were nothing to write home about. Fair price for what we got. Just lacked a bit of flavor in my opinion.

Flavors - 4.5/5 Textures - 4.5/5 Presentation - 4.5/5 Value for Money - 4/5 I loved this place! Excellent quality and the prices are so good. Great for french classics Terrine: they make their own and it was delicious. Loved the pairing with the pickles and mustard, and the crusty bread was solid. Escargot: very tasty classic scargot. I wish each scargot was bigger. Also got the steak frites - splendid. Super tasty beef, perfectly cooked with crispy fries. Some of the fries were soggy though. Great sauce. Beef tartar - amazing, one of the best I've had. So many layers of flavor I never got tired of eating. Even the side salad was nicely dressed.

Stopped in for lunch & it was amazing! The French onion soup/broth was out of this world. Oysters were SO fresh! Beef tare tare was some of the best we've had in Paris. Also got the flank steak with bearnaise sauce and it was cooked perfectly and delicious. Highly recommend!!

- Locale Destination - It's located in the middle of everything. Convenient location. Ambiance: classy, old school, neighborhood cafe Service: Some speak English, but a lot friendlier for the locals than tourists. But I got some nice ones. Menu: typical, solid, not too many bistro items. Price: glass wine 6-8€, appetizers 7-14€, entree 15-20€. Portion: not too small, perfect - Gluttony Expedition - Red wine: decent Beef tartare with French fries: too acid on the salad, tartare was a bit acidic side and light with a good portion as an entree. Decent. Fries were supposed to be the best but not really. Cooked well, small portions, a bit saltier side for me. Bread: very good - Conqueror's Deduction - 3.5 stars. Many people ordered a steak. For the price, it's solid. Blown away? Not really.

Food: This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in Paris that we've been to. Their flank steak with perfectly rare and their garlic parsley butter complimented the steak so well. Their french fries were SO addicting and flavorful and this is coming from someone that doesn't even like them in general! I honestly could not stop eating them. Also, their snails and beef tartare had amazing flavor and seasoning. Everything we ordered was perfectly seasoned and had amazing flavors! Definitely the French food experience we were looking for! Service: Our waiter was one of the kindest and most attentive waiters we've had! We definitely didn't experience any "typical/rude" French service that France is typically known for. Ambiance: Felt like a cozy diner experience with high-quality food! It also seemed like a favorite for locals.

A great restaurant with amazing vibes, food, and service. It is my last night in paris and I haven't had escargot yet. After doing yelp research, i noticed the great ratings this restaurant had so it was a no brainer. The escargot was drenched in the best sauce ever. I felt as though I could drink it. ALSO, i would like to mention that this is the only restaurant I have been to here that had spicy hot sauce. Overall, I am a huge fan and 10/10 would recommend this restaurant!

This place was amazing- Exquisite From the food to the service to the atmosphere Everything was absolutely amazing

/)/) ( . .) ( づ wouldn't really recommend. My steak and fries were soooo dry. Even though I ordered medium rare it came out more done than rare and super dry and chewy. The fries were too oily. The fish of the day was delicious though! But tiny portion for that price they're asking. Staff was very busy. We had to wait an hour for seating and another hour for our food. They kept on saying couple more mins but turnt out they meant 70 mins by that...not very good hospitality. But the vibe is nice.

We tried tonight (Sat) at 8ish for two and there was a 45 minute wait so we walked around looking for something else, but walked back to Brasserie Bellanger.best decision ever. The food, the drinks and the staff were excellent. We sat at the bar, in front of the apps prep station and watched each dish leave the kitchen. Our choices were spring duck and sausage and mash. Both were delicious, my only regret was not ordering the flank steak and fries that looked amazing. We finished with a small dessert and the bill with a few drinks was 77€, which was much less than I expected. We have a few pubs in the US that have great scratch kitchens, but this one is up high on the list in Paris. The staff was attentive and extremely helpful, especially with our brutal attempt at communicating in French. It was clear that all were concerned that we and the other guests had a top notch experience as it showed in their service and presentation.We will be returning before we leave Paris.

Our servicer was what made us decide to eat there! But the food was amazing, my daughter had French onions soup, I had duck with potatoes, all the pallets in my mouth was awaken! The ambience was a crowed, but that's because I American and not use to such close seating!

This busy place only had seats up at the counter, but we loved being able to watch all the bustling behind the scenes - had a good feeling about this place and it was spot on! Everything is made from scratch, everyone seemed on top of and enjoying what they were doing, being a chef myself it was quite delightful and everything was delicious!

Made it back and it was as delicious as always. I still can't get around to order anything but the amazing grilled leaks in a delicious hazelnut vinaigrette followed by the homemade sausage with perfect mashed potatoes but my wife did enjoy the steak frites as well as some Breton oysters. Service is French so slow and sort of absentee but the ambiance is really lively and pleasant. Love the place.

Delish. Chill vibe. Staff was very friendly and the service was good - Although they messed my martini the first time around. But the second time was great!

Delicious pastries and coffee at reasonable prices. The fresh croissants are buttery and they have sandwiches, pizza, etc..

Got here at 11:30 on a Wednesday. They don't start serving lunch until 12. So they let us sit. But then you wait. I was grateful. We've had a hell of a travel day. They start taking orders before 12. And it doesn't take long for it to be fixed. I wasn't real hungry. I got the leaks vinaigrette. They had good flavor. But I kept getting a gritty texture like sand. The thought of not being washed enough makes it hard to finish. Hubs got the sausage and mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes and gravy were great. Sausage was a little too dry. Crème brûlée was on point! Don't miss this opportunity. Very realistic price too. The people are friendly. It's a quaint well established business. The bathroom is downstairs, and I highly recommend you going even if you don't need to go. LOL. I always say I'm going to travel the world searching out bathrooms. Pay attentions to the panties and tidy Whities

The escargot was spectacular. The decor, crowd and waiting service exceptional. Elderflower spritz was like no other.

This is one of the best restaurants I have been to in Paris! The duck was amazing and the muscles! The waiter was very helpful when it came to recommending a wine and the manager was so sweet and welcoming! I highly recommend Brasserie Bellanger!

I reserved the best experience for my final evening in Paris. This bustling bistro boasts an exceptionally attentive staff, including the host, server, cooks, and the outstanding pastry chef, who crafts exquisite pastries that simply melt in your mouth. The seating was limited but the atmosphere was pleasant and bookings can be made in advance; I wish I had more time to return.

I understand that everyone wants to see food, but, it was just so good that all I can share is another satisfied customer. Maybe, you should just come by and try for yourself; hopefully your plates will be as clean as ours were by meals end.

Cute spot with great service, music and food. The oeuf mayo weren't the best, but they're weeent terrible. Just average. The hampe du boeuf was great, and so was the bearnaise. Dish was handed over the counter by the chef herself and she then hooked fit up with some extra bread and mayo for the frites. That just added to the already perfect vibe - the staff really stands out. Finally the one selection is great and I went for the Grenache de Gres. I will come back. And so should you. It's a good time.

J'ai visité cet endroit pour déjeuner avec ma copine. Il ouvre les portes à midi et une réservation est suggérée mais pas obligatoire. J'ai essayé pour faire une réservation mais j'étais tard et en lieu. J'ai arrivé juste après midi et on retrouvait une table. À 12h20 il était très occupé. Le service était bien. Toutes les serveurs/serveuses était agréables. La nourriture était simple pour une carte française mais la qualité était exceptionnelle. Je voudrais profiter plus des cocktails parce que mon Old Fashioned était magnifique. L'ambiance est chaleureuse. Je rentrerai là

Absolutely one of the best places to eat in Paris. If you're looking for a hip twist on a classic French Brasserie, this is the place to go. Not only is their restaurant inside a fun atmosphere, their outdoor seating is abundant and fun as well. My group had various sardine starters, herring, and pate. For my main, I got the classic steak frites. It was delicious and was cooked medium and was a skirt steak cut which also meant there would be a chew to it (just a little) because of the cut. But some how it also was still tender and easy to chew. And most importantly, it was very flavorful. This was our last meal in Paris for our week-long trip and this was the best way to do it as it was just a classic French Brasserie. It's also on a quieter street in an otherwise very busy part of Paris (close to Gare du Nord and Montmartre). Our server, Theo (or Teo?), was also pretty amazing. Having been in Paris as both a tourist and resident, I always tell my American friends and family who visit with me that the French service is definitely not going to be what you're used to in the US. However, I don't know what it was, but this most recent visit just changed my opinion on that completely. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, we encountered this time around was just super welcoming and helpful. Our experience at this restaurant just capped it off perfectly for us as our server was just perfect. He was fun, happy, helpful, attentive, and just overall made our experience pretty great! From what we could tell, every single server we encountered was amazing. Highly recommend!

Great ambiance, a traditional brasserie but ever so slightly contemporary. Food was delicious. I had the steak, salad, red wine, and creme brulee. Loved watching the pastry chef at work.

This was a perfect first meal in Paris. We were a group of 5 and we were seated very quickly despite the restaurant looking pretty crowded. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and made sure to answer any questions we had about the menu. We had a table indoors but we were right next to the opening to the outside so it almost felt like we were eating outside. All of our dishes were just about perfect and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Amazing Brasserie! This has been so far the best food we had in Paris. We saw this place in the YouTube videos of the 'Les Frenchies' travel show.. You definitely need a reservation. It was crowded and very popular when we had lunch.. we have tried many different small plates and one main plate and shared everything. Everything was delicious. Among the small plates my favorite were the auvergne snails and the pissaldiere (confit onion tart). The lamb was out of this world and highly recommended. For the dessert, I would recommend the Paris-Brest. Restrooms were downstairs and very clean. The service was amazing as well. Our server was very friendly and helped us with the menu. I read some people said the service was slow; to me the service was neither slow nor fast. If you are in Paris you need to spend the time to enjoy the good food.. If I have the chance to come back to Paris, I would definitely come back to Brasserie Belanger.

Favorite restaurant on our family trip to Paris. The service was amazing and the food was even better. Definitely a must try, you won't regret it.

Delicious food, very familiar ambiance and the service was great too. Hoping to visit again soon.

Had an excellent dinner here during my trip to Paris, possibly the best of the trip. Atmosphere is chic and lively, I sat at the counter which was a fun experience. Had the catch of the day and it was incredible, perfectly cooked and such complex flavors and textures in the sauce. For dessert had the Paris Brest, as I'd heard it was to die for. I'll be honest, it didn't wow me but it was good. Service was great, they had an English menu and were friendly and on top of everything.

Food was fantastic. Had the Cordon Bleu and it was amazing. Only downside was the wait, including after we were sat.

One of the best French bistros I've been to. Simple menu done well...plus great service, hip staff and music(ie rap, reggaeton) gave it a trendy/modern vibe. The manager waited on us, he recommended the duck breast and a hazelnut dessert...both were excellent...the steak and frites and Cesar Salad was also solid...for drinks I had a St. Germaine spritz that was also really yummy...10/10 would recommend.

ALL OF IT!!!!!!!! A million stars!!! My goodness. From the moment we found this spot on yelp. The vibe, the decor, the ambiance, the people, the people, the people, the foooooooooooooooooodddddd!!!! Everything you want and need and look for in a dining experience. PAR. FAIT!!!! (perfect). Merci Brasserie Bellanger!!

Love this place - ate here by myself around 1:30 on a Thursday and it didn't seem like they took reservations and plenty of places to sit. I got the sardines appetizer and sausage plate and everything was wonderful as well as reasonably priced

We went in with a party of 4 and no reservation and they sat us right away. The service was excellent, and the food great. If you are looking for a good Brasserie for dinner, I would highly recommend it!

Sensational French classics. We ate here FOUR times, as it seemed better to eat down the menu than to try to find a better place. Nothing disappointed. Sit at the bar for the view of everything being made. It's quite the show.

We loved this place- all of the waitstaff were really friendly to each other and to patrons and it created a really fun atmosphere. The food was really delicious and good for sharing. We sat outside but the inside had a similar feel. We would come back!

My wife and I are in Paris for the 1st time and decided to eat local around Gare de Nord. We did not have reservations and this restaurant was PACKED but the establishment was able to get us into an outdoor table. The food was AMAZING and very inexpensive. Our server, Allan, was very accommodating to our food requests and very prompt with his service. This place is a definite 'MUST' for delicious food and a nice outdoor surroundings.

We had dinner for two here on Thursday evening. Our waiter Rayan was incredible and we used all of his recommendations. A friendly atmosphere and the staff was working non-stop to ensure everyone had a fabulous experience. Roasted Leek Salad, Salad with Bacon Bits and Jammy Eggs, Oysters, and Fish of the day (Sea Bass), and the most amazing Paris Brest dessert. We finished dinner at midnight and taxied back to the hotel with smiles on our face. We will come back every time we are in Paris. Thank you for helping make our trip to Paris wonderful.

Fun, bustling brasserie with spot on French classic menu. Great value in a quiet out of the way neighborhood. This might not have been our best meal in Paris but it was probably our most fun!

Excellent food service and ambiance. A real gem! Tucked away on a side street somewhat hidden but worth the journey.

Great experience. Amazing food Final night in Paris, so we went all-out on the food. As an appetizer we ate Truffle Ham, Eggs Mayo, and Leeks Vinaigrette. Each was amazing. The ham was understated, thinly sliced pieces, accented with an amazing truffle flavor. The eggs were simple deviled eggs, French style, with a great Dijon side sauce. We had a pork filet mignon that was prepared so perfectly, it pulled apart without the knife. Easily the best cut of pork I've ever had. It came atop a bed of white beans that far exceeded expectation for flavor and satisfaction. For dessert, we had their Paris-Brest (I think it's called). It is a decadent donut-shaped pastry full of flavors. Definitely recommend this fashionable and gourmet restaurant. Photo credits: their webpage is pretty minimal, so most of these food pics are from their Instagram page. Except the cat, that's mine.

The food was amazing! Service was wonderful! Allan was awesome! We sat at the bar and had a birds eye view into the kitchen and EVERY single thing they made looked great! Will absolutely return!

Excellent lamb for two and red Syrah wine. Desserts great also! This place was only a five minute walk from where we were staying.
