Les Antiquaires

If you love seafood and you are in Paris, this is the place to go. I went with my partner and we had the best time sitting outside. The atmosphere was lovely, the vibe was great and the staff were super friendly. You need to book a table! The seafood was incredibly fresh and full of flavour. The salmon tartare was next level, and I still remember the taste. I tried to eat slowly because every bite was just amazing. We will definitely be back next time we are in Paris.

Les Antiquaires is exactly what I picture when I think of a classic Parisian bistro. It checks all the boxes. The ambiance is warm and bustling. The staff is great. The menu covers all the bases (albeit in my opinion the prices are higher than necessary). The food is delicious. The location is great (and perhaps this is why the prices are high)! I ordered the seabass fillet and my mom got roasted farmhouse chicken. I got a side of the potatoes dauphinois and she swapped her mashed potatoes for fries. We enjoyed every bite of food we tried. Our table was indoors but right on the cusp of being on the terrace. It was the perfect spot. Best of both worlds. Although I genuinely feel this is a pricier option for a bistro, I think the prices match its popularity and they can get away with it. It's right near the Musée d'Orsay so it's perfect for a meal before or after visiting the museum. The restaurant was very busy when we were there for lunch, and I was glad to have a reservation. It was actually one of my more memorable and enjoyable meals in Paris and a spot I definitely plan to return to on a future visit.

A perfect way to end our trip. We so enjoyed Esteban's service. Outstanding. Probably one of the most attentive and knowledgeable servers we've had in Paris. The food was wonderful and I must mention our maitre d' was so inviting and funny. Highly recommend. Great location near the Musée D'Orsay. Merci Beaucoup!

Splendid food and service! This restaurant changed my mind of French food being fine-dining only. The food was amazing also adequate in portion and nicely presented. Atmosphere was cozy, friendly and attentive services. We especially recommend their ducks!

Nice lively restaurant with good service. Escargot and duck confit were excellent, but their beef bourguignon left a lot to be desired, as it came out partly tough and hard to cut/chew. Went back a second time on same trip, got the frog legs, onion soup, and lamb shoulder... Another nice meal.

Had stumbled upon this place the day before for a mid afternoon drink. The waiters were attentive and friendly and so we decided to return the day after for an evening meal. We hadn’t booked and it was a very busy Saturday night but after recognising us they kindly found us a table. Service was extremely attentive, food brought out very promptly and was delicious. Enjoyed the duck breast and dauphinois and salmon tartar which were very healthy portions for a reasonable price. Then had a lovely crème brûlée for desert. Busy restaurant so I would book ahead of an evening meal! But great bustling atmosphere and traditional French brasserie food. Would definitely return!

Food was amazing, the oysters we ordered were really fresh and sea urchin was creamy and sweet. We tried both the pan fried and terrain foie gras and both were delicious! To top it off service was great from the minute we were greeted at the door to our server who gave wonderful recommendations and was also very attentive and friendly!

The ambiance was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptionally friendly—everything was perfect in every way. The French onion soup was rich in umami, and the Burgundy escargot was tender and delicately flavored. The duck breast paired perfectly with the cheesy potatoes, and the oysters were incredibly fresh. To finish, the crème brûlée added a sweet touch to end the meal on a high note. Everything was so perfect that I can't wait to come back again. 🥰

I was really worried that this would be a tourist trap based on the location and the fact that they were open for an early dinner at 4:30p. I was 100% wrong. The French Onion soup was fantastic. The filet with au gratin potatoes? One of the best I've ever had even at twice the price. Good options for the kids who didn't want something quite so French. The desserts were amazing. Service was phenomenal. Some days I want the traditional European experience (3+ hour dinner with very little attention). With young kids, not so much. This had the benefit of great food with attentive service. Lastly, great location (across the river from Tuileries) and a good ambiance. Would 100% go back. Completely recommend for anyone with a young family.

This place was a gem to find! We had the Beef Bourguignon and the Breast of Duck. The meals were the best food we had in all of Paris. I asked the waiter for a wine suggestion based on my American wines I'm used to and he hit it out of the park! We didn't have a reservation at 7pm and they welcomed us with smiles and beautiful service. I would go back the next day if we had the chance! Outdoor seating and open air dining was the perfect ambiance.

Seven years ago I posted a review for here but it was the wrong restaurant! I looked it up on Google maps after and got the one across the street. This is my review from "returning" and eating at the real place. Very good food. Service is outstanding and the atmosphere is so homey and comfortable. Our server was on top of everything. Once our baguettes were gone, he replaced the basket in about 1 second of us taking out the last slice. I had the Bouef Bourgignon and crème brûlée which was very good. Profiteroles was good as well. The crepes Suzettes are also tasty. I'd eat here again.

This place has a the classic French look and feel. They have fresh seafood on ice in the front, checkered floors, old wood built ins and of course the traditional French patio. We split a burger and the crispy chicken Caesar salad. We ordered and our food came out less than 10 minutes later! Burger was slightly undercooked but we don't worry about this so much in France as we have to in America. Since this is near the Musee d'Orsay, it was a little bit on the pricier side for Paris. My Coca Cola was 7,50€ and the bottled water was 9,00€. We haven't had to spend too much on food so we didn't mind for a tasty meal.

We love this place so much last June and we decided to come here for dinner our first night here in Paris today. It's so funny. We ordered the same thing because we absolutely enjoyed every bite. Service as usual excellent super fast efficient and location was perfect and I love sitting and watching people and just relaxing.

One of the best places we found in Paris for classic French cuisine. Everything is amazing and the vibe is ~chefs kiss~. Most notable is their French onion soup, tartar, pate, and yummy seafood from the raw bar (try the langoustines and shrimp if available!).

Our hotel recommended and made reservation for us at Les Antiquaires (translation to The Antique Dealers) and it was a great choice! It's located near Musee d'Orsay and walkable from our hotel near Musee du Louvre. Our server was wonderful and friendly. I love the cozy, refinement of the place with mirrors and unique furniture. Marinated octopus a la plancha Served in red curry sauce and roasted vegetables. It's simple yet very delicious. It's succulent and not tough or chewy. Linguine al Vongole Clams, white wine, garlic & parsley and fresh tomatoes. Great sauce! Seabass I think this was a special. Seabass was cooked perfectly and delicately seasoned. The side vegetables was delicious. Vegetables in Europe always taste so much better. It is a bit loud and packed in the restaurant. Hard to have a conversation but you will definitely enjoy the food.

4.35 stars rounding up Fiancé made a reservation here for their Escargot (he's a fance pants haha) and good thing he did cause it was a full-house The complimentary baguettes were A++ Foie Gras and Escargot were great appetizers. Foie Gras was rich and tasty and the Escargot, while they're not my cup-of-tea, I can tell they were tasty and very high-quality ingredients (restaurant known for their Escargot) Beef Bourguignon (a French stew): a unique and hearty plate, a bit rich so wishing we shared this instead of me ordering my own plate Confit Lamb Shoulder: not bad overall, also rich and hearty, but probably could've lived without it since the Beef Bourguignon (what restaurant is known for) was a good portion, along with being rich and hearty Highly recommend the one of the Apple Collins, so refreshing! Totally could've sipped on these all evening haha Go check it out!

On our second day in Paris, we braved the crowds at the Louvre in the morning and found lunch at Les Antiquaires on Rive Gauche, near our next stop at Museé d'Orsay. This was our third meal in Paris not counting hotel breakfast (which was very good) and it was our third good find. Again, none of us are huge eaters and this was a light lunch that was just right. Ms T ordered a sort of salad with shrimp and avocado and rated it "good". I had a very nice plate of smoked salmon which was excellent, and it was all I needed for the afternoon after that breakfast earlier. The place was busy in the early afternoon, and we had to wait a bit, but the service and food were fine. On only one visit, it is difficult to really test the menu, but if I was there again, I would certainly consider a return visit.

We stopped here around 2:15 on a Tuesday, and it was already packed! We didn't have any reservation and only waited 5 min. The food is delicious! They are known for their seafood. We started with a plate of escargot with pesto sauce. I got the niçoise salade with tuna (i was expecting canned tuna but actually received a real filet of tuna), my husband ordered the octopus with curry and vegetables. We both finished our plates. I had a cappuccino afterwards. We will be back when we're in the area. Total bill was 91€

Very nice French bistro with traditional outside seating as well as great traditional food Note: the seating arrangement in the outside can be a bit cramped (think more tight that NYC style) but being outside helped and was still great Food: Seared foie gras 5/5: big foie gras fan and this version is a pan seared with a sweater glaze. More firm and not very spreadable but eaten with bread it is fantastic Truffle pasta 4.5/5: fantastic truffle pasta with prosciutto, very nice Lamb confit: 4.25/5: very tender and falling apart with a great braised sauce. The mashed potatoes were a little plain though and maybe some veggies wouldve been nice

Everything about this place was fantastic. A wonderful French experience and everyone in our group of 5 loved it. Hands down the best crème brûlée I've ever had. Our waitress was incredibly helpful to all our many questions about the menu and she was terrific helping one in our group who has celiacs issues.

Attentive service, delicious food with changes made with ease. A memorable first dinner in Paris.

The food was pretty good, other than the small caterpillar (?) in the salad. I told myself it must be very fresh. I can't give them five stars though because a cockroach ran under our table (near the kitchen). I killed it and notified the waiter. He seemed unsurprised and didn't even clean it up.

Classic French bistro steps away from the Musee d'Orsay. It's a bit crowded because it's in a prime tourist location but the dishes are solid and the service was good. I enjoyed my steak tartare.

Food was good after we sent back the steak frites - couldn't cut the steak even while sawing it on the plate, and surely couldn't eat it...but the replacement salads were delicious. Close to our hotel.

Can't believe I didn't write the review for this place from the Paris trip!!! Anyhow... I still remember my time here. So let's begin. Came to Paris after some restrictions were lifted to go travel. So I had to do some homework about places to eat near where we were staying. This place was one of the highlights! The restaurant is more of a brasserie styled fare and environment. And the tables by the outside of the restaurant is very Parisian. We made reservations about a month before and glad we did. The first time we got there, we saw a huge line up. And we were sat down to a table shortly after. I tried my grade school French that I have long forgotten with the service staff. I'm so glad his English is better than my French. Lol! So we decided on the food, one dish that stood out to me was the truffle and mushroom ravioli. So good!!!! Other things were octopus, duck and stewed beef. Oh man!!! Highly recommended!!! Service was excellent!!! And we decided to come back the next night. That's how much wife and I loved this place!

Busy place , staff are friendly, too hot inside and really cold outside Food is good except for the braised lamb Wine selection is great Didn't try dessert, we will be back on a slower day.

Absolutely incredible experience! Fresh seafood, plenty of options on the menu, great wine list and very friendly service

Get the onion soup, the cheeseburger and a profiterole, you'll thank me later. Service was efficient, ambiance was cozy.

We had a party of 10 and they were able to accommodate us very quickly. Our server was attentive and provided some laughs while taking our orders. The food was brought in a very reasonable amount of time considering it was lunchtime! Food was prepared perfectly and was delicious. I felt the prices were not unreasonable especially considering the location of this venue. Thanks to the staff of Les Antiquaires for adding to our fond memories of our visit to Paris!

Tonight was our second time dining here. It was a busy Sunday evening, but they found a spot for us. The service was impeccable, any concerns about our ability to communicate were quickly forgotten. The oysters were fresh and delicious. The onion soup was especially appreciated on a cold January evening. The Beef Bourguignon was excellent. The meal was finished with coffee and tarte tatin. We had the table for nearly three hours, enjoyed some interaction with the French couple and the table next to us and simply enjoyed a beautiful evening. We never felt rushed or neglected. We will return the next time we're in Paris.

Have to say the service was excellent, but my rump steak was crisped beyond comprehension. That disappointing meal was replaced after a wait. My husband's linguine with clams was comparable to a clam broth with noodles. All in all, having enjoyed a wonderful meal there on our first visit last October the let down came as a surprise. Next time we'll skip this place.

Good food and good service. Make a reservation they get busy. Close to Musee d'Orsay so good option before or after visiting museum. I had lamb plat, hubby had onion soup and goat cheese salad, cousin had special of the day soup (don't remember what it was) and a seafood dish. They had assortment of oyster options and oyster shucker out front- sadly didn't try any- maybe next time. We all enjoyed our meal. Yes, I recommend ;)

This was one of the most memorable meals during our Euro trip. First off, this was our anniversary dinner in Paris so it had that going for it. We had a tasty plate of escargot in their shells with a perfect blend of butter, garlic and pesto. We then split some French onion soup au gratin which was gooey and chewy an on point. I had the sliced duck in a reduction sauce that was wonderful. It had a thin layer of fat in between skin and the meat which really added to the flavor. The only downside was the skin wasn't crispy but it's comforting flavor made up for that. My wife ordered large prawns with rice which had a great flavor and was also very satisfying. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Very good and definitely recommended. Pasta with truffle cream sauce was outstanding. The ratatouille was absolutely delicious. The rib steak and farm style chicken were both good, though not as good as our other dishes. Service is attentive and fast. Nice dining room, and great outdoor tables. Very authentic. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. A++++

We ended up eating at Les Antiquaires completely by accident, and I am so happy that we did. To be honest, we had a reservation at Bistrot de Paris right next door, and they would not let us inside because we had sneakers on (come on!). Sad about that, and within a time constraint due to another commitment, we ran down the street and popped into Les Antiquaires to ask if they had a table. They did, and it was amazing (who needs Bistrot de Paris!). Les Antiquaires has an extensive menu and plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. It is adorable and cozy inside, and everything we ordered was incredibly good. Above all, their service is OUTSTANDING! I could not believe how attentive and friendly their servers were. They really go above and beyond here to make you feel welcome and comfortable. If you are in the area, definitely check out Les Antiquaires. It is a gem and I am so happy for our accidental meal there!

We came back twice! The chicken dish was delicious, I believe it was a special because I can't find it on the menu. The skin was perfectly crisp and potatoes along with few vegetables were seasoned well. I ordered the Filet De Bœuf and was not happy with how it was seasoned. The potatoes lacked flavor along with the steak. Our second visit I ordered the Linguine Al Vongole, which was so delicious. The service was good. We didn't have to wait long for our food. My only complaint is that the bread you get is the unfinished bread from another table. I noticed them reusing the bread we didn't eat for another table as we were leaving.

Going there soon. Should I make reservation? Their reservations policy kind of weird saying they have the right to use our data? Is it safe to do?

So delicious!!! Service was good and everything we ordered was so tasty. We ordered the french onion soup, famous boeuf bourguignon, linguine al vongole, and duck breast. along with a virgin strawberry mojito. the weather was great and we sat outside and had a nice breeze going at all times. Very happy with this choice!

My go to whenever I'm In Paris. The best oysters and escargo and I love their steaks! Never leave here without having crème brûlée, thank me later!

This is the kind of place where patrons, especially Americans think they are getting the best in town. The duck with pear was very nice as was the pate en croute. So I cant say the food was bad. Service, however, was kirt and uninformative. Overall, an average experience in a noisy environment. For Paris, you can do a whole lot better.

The restaurant was superb! We were fortunate to have Goksel as our waiter. He was very engaging and charismatic. We took his recommendations and the food was excellent. The French Toast Brioche was the perfect end to the meal!

This bistro really nails the experience for clueless American tourists checking out the D'Orsay or the Louvre nearby. When I arrived at 7:40, the place was already buzzing with tourists finishing their meals. They quickly guided me to the front row seats on the sidewalk, as if they already knew that's what a first time visitor to Paris like me would love to do. The menu had a good selection of casual French dishes. But of course I had to get their beef bourguignon, featured right on top. After trying a few around Paris, they did not disappoint. It was the best I had yet. No dry chuck chunks here. They also featured extra large escargot, which I've not had for over 20 years. I've never had any this large and they were fantastic, just luscious and supple little nibbles. I had to get the obligatory onion soup. I've had tons of them all over the US. Some were pretty good, but I had to get the taste of the original. Theirs was clearly better than most I've ever had at home. I think it's the cheese, which we can't readily get. I also tried the rump eye, which was well seasoned but not all that interesting. And to round it all off, they even put in come standard Italian pastas for tourists who won't be able to make it to Italy. I'll be waiting for that. Sitting there in the front row amongst fellow tourists, I was in good company with what I ordered. Most had about the same. One older American couple pulled the flex and got the 3 tier seafood tower, something that looks straight out of Vegas. Overall, a great spot to spend a nice summer evening, even if we were all watching other tourists. Still, a few locals made their way in and added wonderful authenticity to the experience. They just didn't order up and down the menu like novices. The service was excellent. Our waiter humored our silliness when we asked for all the dishes at the same time. Well, our bistro table was filled to the edge and beyond. We'll take the hint next time. One example stood out. I had flubbed my steak knife off our crowded table when a neighboring table got seated. Annoyed at myself for being careless, I got it off the pavement. As soon as I got the dropped knife back on the table, our hostess presented me with a replacement. Very impressive. Will definitely try to return when I swing back to Paris in two weeks.

Truffle pasta was so delicious! The escargot was coated with garlic and butter which was tasty. Must try place here!

Love the food and atmosphere here. Dined outside with family...it was loud and cramped but lovely to share food and enjoy people socializing over food. We didn't come to eat & leave but rather have an evening out that included a wonderful meal at a relaxed pace. The variety of dishes is great! It's conveniently located near Musee d'Orsay following a Thursday night museum visit. * Even if it's cold outside, outside dining is fine with the heaters.

Classic French bistro. Made a res, but were sat early in a corner booth. Server was no nonsense, which I appreciated. We ordered the onion soup, snails, steak + potatoes dish and profiteroles for dessert. All was great, although I probably wouldn't have the profiteroles again. Their complimentary bread was also divine! Def recommend for an authentic bistro experience.

Beautiful eclectic restaurant. Fun vibe, good service and EXCELLENT food. Best crème brûlée I've ever had.

4.7 Rounded up. Long block but around the corner to the museum de orasay. The octopus was unique w the charring and the red curry. Have never had anything like this in my life and was delicious. The clams Linguini was acceptable. The waiters speak English there we saw many taking in escargot Afterwards was a little early but we found a vantage point high to see the Eiffel Tower light up at 8pm

They looked so good on Yelp, hence I went there. Upon arrival, it was just okay. 1. Reservation: necessary during prime time like 7pm+. 2. Food: good. but not amazing, unique or special. 3. Service: super slow, indifferent 4. Decor: dark, cold, old 5. Trash removal during prime dinner time!! WTH. They opened the whole wall, which is made of glass in the middle of winter and during prime dinner time at around 8PM. Freezing cold and loud and trash+dinner is a bad combo. They decided it was the best time to empty their trash, why not wait 2 more hours? They have this unique pulley system that is almost like an elevator and the trash bins come from lower floor to the main floor with this and they pull and bring the trash outside.. took over 35 minutes! Ruined the dinner and I have never been this cold in a restaurant especially at this price range! and uncomfortable. They are doing an amazing marketing and getting people, but trust me, they are not the best or even the better of restaurants you can go to in Paris. I would not recommend

We had a decent meal at this bistro in St Germain during a quick stopover in Paris. With hundreds of places to choose from in the capital of gastronomy, it's hoped that all meals will be amazing. While perfectly fine, our boeuf Bourgogne was not the life changing food I was hoping for. Perhaps I'm guilty of relying too much on reviews as many people may only visit the city once so everything seems amazing compared to the food in Topeka. Alas, we were seated right away I'm at a small table abutting the wait stand (at least it was easy to get his attention) and both opted to try the beef, as the menu claimed it was selected as "best in Paris" along with a couple of glasses of the house Pinot.. the flat flavorless wine (a rarity in a city where restaurants refuse to serve bad wine), perhaps should have been a clue as to what was to come. Our door was serve within 5 minutes of our order-shockingly fast-either (was this because we were Americans ?) barely before we'd had our first sips of the mediocre wine. Obviously the stew was prepared already, after all it takes hour to cook it, so in a way it's not a surprise that it could come out fast but nothing we did or said indicated we were in any type of time crunch although we were 10 min early for our 8 pm reservation. We were done and out of there in 30 minutes-not what you expect when ding in Paris--a bit disappointing.

Les Antiquairies is a classic brassiere on the Rive Gauche across from the Louvre. The food, cocktails and service are all excellent. The fresh seafood is outstanding. The wine list is limited but all good, well priced and ready to drink. The vibe is everything you would expect in Paris.

We had the pleasure of dining at this amazing establishment located on the right bank in Paris in July for dinner. Although we were a few minutes late for our reservation due to traffic, Maria graciously took my family and I to our table. Our server Esteban was absolutely amazing! He handled all food allergies and indecisiveness with a lot of patience We enjoyed an amazing 2 hours catching up and enjoying the ambiance, chatting with the locals and amazing French cuisine. If you ever have the opportunity to dine at this restaurant I highly recommend it!

French onion soup was amazing! Very delicious The beef bourguignon was really sub par. Meat was over cooked and the broth was bland.

The MOST perfect French brasserie. DO NOT MISS the onion soup! Loved it and quintessential restaurant and staff.

The worst! Our waiter Clemont was horrible and so rude! Don't go here! It's the worst service in France!

Delicious and a beautiful environment. Make sure to make reservations. Very close to Louvre.

The Ambiance of this restaurant is quite fitting for a romantic night if you're on a date or it's nice of you want to go to a spot with fellow restauranteurs that indulge in a cute hanging out. The service is pretty okay sometimes because the place is crowded it can take awhile for services however the charisma of the employees make it a little better. The food was a little bland however it looked super edible and a little salt and pepper brings out the taste. The dessert is superb!.

Typical bistro type with good food. Busy and crazy inside but service was good. If you are nearby well worth stopping in for lunch.
