We enjoyed an amazing dinner at the restaurant. The food was superb, featuring exotic plates such as udon and red finned tuna, a fusion of Japanese food. Besides, the duck breast was absolutely stunning! The vibe was also cosy and warm, and the service was more than excellent! The waiters and waitresses were all very helpful and friendly, wearing bright smiles! The restaurant was very inviting, we had children with us and they all enjoyed the wonderful dinner!

I decided to eat at this restaurant as there was a fashion event I attended across the street. They did not disappoint in any way. I had a delicious and lovely dining experience. The staff was happy, attentive, knowledgable, and excited about their venue. I ordered the steak and it was delicious with the sauce. The starter was also tasty and a great dinner. They were plated well, and the atmosphere was quite welcoming and pleasant. I would absolutely recommend, and visit this establishment again to taste the other dishes!

We stumbled upon Les Enfants Perdus by chance and were so glad we did. This charming spot near Canal Saint Martin felt like a hidden treasure. The duck was an absolute showstopper, the ceviche was delicious, and the fresh, warm basket of bread was a perfect start. Our waitress was sweet and welcoming, and the whole experience felt relaxed and special. The food is genuinely excellent—I highly recommend it!

Wonderful experience. We shared the escargot, duck, beef and beef tartar, The food was really good and the fries are absolutely AMAZING!! The fries were amazing, we ordered an extra side of it. The praline creme brûlée and chocolate lava cake is absolutely divine. Absolutely a must try!!

Restaurant with fantastic vibe located in beautiful neighbourhood. Staffs are super chill and welcoming, very attentive even though the place was crowded. Food was served in a timely manner. The steaks were exactly medium rare as we ordered, which many other restaurants too often failed to achieve. Everything from starters to main dishes to desserts were delicious, one of the best we have tried in Paris.

Cute restaurant, friendly staff. Food is plated beautifully and tastes good, but maybe the kitchen is trying too hard. Like my son enjoyed the duck but not the sauce served with it. And the veloute was good, but maybe a little too busy with all of the add-ins.

What a gem! As someone with celiac, I was blown away by how many items on the menu were naturally gluten free, no awkward substitutions or limited options here. Everything was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. Our server was a total standout: super friendly, attentive, and she made one of the best gin & tonics I've ever had (seriously, it was next-level). We got there a little after 9pm, so the terrace was full, but sitting inside turned out to be perfect, cozy, and ideal for catching up with friends. The vibe was relaxed, the food was amazing, and the service was on point. Just an all around great experience. Definitely adding this to my list of go-to spots!

Wonderful! Sat "outside". Beautiful ambiance. Great friendly, welcoming service. Foie gras with the chutney was very good. The slow cooked veal was wonderful. Desserts good. A must stop. Tiramisu martini was smooth and luxurious.

A very cute and cozy place tucked slightly away from the main streets. I went at lunchtime and it was pretty crowded: there was a large workgroup having lunch there so the waiters were definitely busy - but they still were attentive and served me quickly and politely. The decorations around the restaurant were also really fun to look at, creating an excellent dinner environment. I ordered their lunch special salmon that was excellent - and I finished off with an incredible cheese plate. This was one of the best cheese plates I've ever had - and I'm a big cheese fan. I would highly recommend - and if I come back to Paris again, I'd be more than happy to come over here and have an excellent meal again.

We had such a fantastic dinner at this restaurant. The service was great and the food was fantastic. From the moment we walked by we knew this was the perfect spot for our last dinner in Paris. We stayed with the foie and it was one of the best I've had. For mains... the steak which came with a side of marrow! The scallops were super fresh and with the most delicate and delicious sauce. My fave was the veal...super tender and flavorful and the roasted veggies were just as delicious. We each had a glass of the wine of the day which was perfect and ended our meal with the crème brûlée trio.. the pistachio was my fave! This is definitely a place to come back.

I had a short stay in the 10th Arr in Paris, a quick overnight on the way to Strasbourg. I was looking to have a fine Parisian meal without going too far from my hotel by Gare de l'Est, and I definitely found it here. The restaurant is one of those small bistros with small (but not too small) plates, masterfully done, and a good wine selection to go with it. I had the sashimi, samphire, and grape salad and a black pudding and baked apple dish and both were *amazing* and absolutely hit the spot. I had a vin orange Gewurtraminer, which was also quite nice and a good accompaniment to the other dishes. Finished off by a rich desert that combined French toast, crème brûlée, rich coffee (though I elected for decaf, given the hour), and homemade ice cream. Just a fantastic meal, all around, and I got out of there for under 50 Euro - try doing that in the USA! Highly recommended.

Near Canal St Martin, Les Enfants Perdus is a charming spot for a cozy dinner. Know that they have a wine bar right across the street which would be great for a pre or apres dinner drink. The inside is dimly lit, and has thoughtful design touches. The menu is classically based but manages to be creative as well. Prices are moderate and the staff was very friendly. I had the roasted chicken "airline" style served with a creamy tarragon sauce and a crock of wonderful sweet potato mash. Simple but perfectly executed, and full of flavor. Dessert was a trio of mini creme brulees - how can you say no to that?

Having been in Paris for a week, I believe this is one of the top three meals I had during our stay. Traditional French cooking brought to the highest level possible at a very affordable price. The pate was extraordinary. I also had a veal casserole cooked for over six hours that I am now, having returned home, searching for a similar recipe. This is the place. I would have my final dinner at before leaving Paris. Nothing pretentious, great wine list and just what I would expect in Paris. It also is in a very interesting neighborhood near the water. staff is young, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.

I was looking for a hidden gem out from the beaten path and I found it! Little restaurant with wonderful food. Desserts were amazing, great atmosphere, and literally almost no non French speakers there! I'm a French born speaker, which my wife believes gays is better service LOL. The soup was super creamy and flavorful, the sole was just like I remember, lots of butter and delicate meal.

A smal french restaurant that usually takes reservations, we were lucky we didn't have to wait or make one. This place has a special pick three option for brunch/lunch. Their menu includes an impressive list of cocktails about 11-13 euros. Not so much of a beer list. The menu has the classic foie grass and escargot. We chose the escargot for appetizer, it came out with foam decorations, which is weird and you can hardly see the snails. I chose the scallops for my entree and it came in several pieces. I was not disappointed :) Definitely recommend for anyone around the area to try this place. The tasting I find is not overpowering, in fact it's subtle.

We stumbled upon this restaurant the first night we were in Paris, unfortunately they did not have a table available at that time. So we made a reservation for the following night. It did not indicate that a reservation was needed, but given my experience and the size of the restaurant, I would suggest making one. So getting to the important details: the wine and the food. The wine we had was fabulous! We asked the waitress what her recommendation was, and she made a great suggestion (picture attached). For an appetizer, we shared Tuna Three ways (ceviche, tartare, and seared). The tuna tartare was one of the most delicious things I have had in my entire life!! For entrees, I got the beef dish. The steak was cooked perfectly and was served with bone marrow (something I had never had before, but it was delicious). My girlfriend has the poultry dish. The chicken itself was average, but the sauce was to die for and the sweet potato gratin was out of this world. For dessert, we shared the Pain Perdu. It was our goal to get some while we were there, and it did not disappoint. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant. I, personally, we definitely return when I return to Paris!

I'd like to give Les Enfants Perdus 4.5 stars :) SERVICE - We were a group of 13, and even though they normally don't allow such large groups for dinner, they made an exception for us and allowed us to be there from 7-10pm. :D - They were very nice and efficient. - The website isn't completely accurate; some food items that were in the restaurant are not on their menu online. FOOD - It was beautifully decorated; it looks like there's a bit of a Japanese touch to the way that they garnish their food. I had a magret de canard with berries and it was really great. It was cooked a little too much for my taste, even though I asked for rosé, but it was still really good. - I got the nage de pamplemousse au menthe (something like that), but after trying my friend's moelleux au chocolat + mango sorbet, I would've much rather had that. My dessert was very light and refreshing, but the moelleux was really phenomenal. DECOR & ENVIRONMENT - It's pretty cute and cozy :) It's not a giant restaurant, but it's not so small that you feel bad that you're taking up space. It's pretty comfortably sized. - It's really close to the Canal Saint-Martin, so you can stroll along before or after. :) Overall, it'd be a great restaurant for a celebration of some sort (birthday, farewell party, etc) or a date. You'll get a really good meal, but it is rather spendy.

This little restaurant is one of my favorite dinner restaurants in Paris. Stopped by here on a Tuesday evening for dinner with a party of 4. The ambiance was intimate and warm (great for dates or going out with friends). We were greeted and seated quickly. Staff was very nice & accommodating and brought us English menus. Great selection of wine; we had a bottle of red from the Loire Valley. Foods we dined on? Foie Gras-Very Good Le filet de Boeuf (Fillet of beef)-BIG HIT with our party La Truite (Trout)-Very Good Le Tartare de Boeuf (Beef Tartar)-Very Good Everyone cleaned their plates and were very satisfied with their meals. I'm quite sure a round of desserts was ordered and eaten, but by the 2nd bottle of wine, its hard to remember. haha!

We had a delicious dinner here! This restaurant was our favorite place we dined at during our visit to Paris. I can not recommend this place enough! We made reservations (which I highly recommend when you are going to visit Europe) and was seated right away. The ambiance was super cozy and relaxing and the service was good. We drank really good wine (can't remember the name) and really really enjoyed our meal. From the dishes we ordered, we really liked the tuna appetizer and the fish entree. Also the bread that they bring out was sooo good that we asked for it two more times. Make sure to ask for some butter too. I will always recommend this restaurant to friends that are visiting Paris!

Delicious!! Found this little gem of a spot and was not disappointed. My friend and I shared their delicious salad and steak plate it was more than enough for two. It is cash only, but great price for serving size and food quality.

Despite it being quite cold out for my first visit here, I chose a cold starter (their tuna three ways - carpaccio, tartared, one sashimi-thick cut) and a "cold" main in a classic beef tartare. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the staff are smiley and friendly (not always a given in this country :-) ) and the food, while not inexpensive, is reasonably priced. They do not have plats du jours but rather a simple and unchanging list of French classics. Don't miss it.

After a few nights of mediocre food, I asked the hotel concierge for a recommendation. We then saw that this restaurant had high remarks on Yelp, so we thought we would give it a shot. I ordered the beef tenderloin and my boyfriend got the duck confit. I asked for it to be cooked medium rare and it came out red and very rare. I guess in Paris, you need to ask for it well done?? I ended up having to send mine back to be cooked longer. The sides that came along with the entrees were bland. We ordered creme brûlée for dessert hoping it would put a nice finish on a disappointing dinner since France seems to at least do desserts well. Even that was boring.. The only thing good was the ice cream. The service was slow and after waiting 15 minutes for our check, we left our money on the table while the server was too busy setting up another table. We ended up paying 62 euros ($83 USD) which is the same that i would have paid for an appetizer, 4 drinks and 2 entrees at a 4 star restaurant in Austin. I consider myself a "foodie" and have tried a ton of top notch restaurants.. But perhaps Paris is just too bland and overpriced for my taste.

I don't think i can like this restaurant any more than I do at this moment. It's such a great great place! The back area has sky windows with cushy benches against the wall and brick backdrop - so wonderfully homey and chic! The location is right near Gare de l'est and nord, and the canal. So last minute run to the train station works, or if you have time, hang out by the canal. The service is impeccable. And the food. Oh the food! Sunday "brunch" at noon (opening time) - thankfully we made reservations and di not have to wait outside forever. 25 EUR fixed price and the menu is incredible. 1. freshly squeezed orange juice, choice of coffee-based drink, unlimited viennoiserie 2. cucumber salad, salamon salad (thick smoked salmon), oeuf cocotte, house made cake/bread thingy 3. baked dish (potatoes? I dont know but it was delicious), duck breast, farmed yogurt with jam, fresh grapes Yes, all three of what I numbered will need to be eaten by you. So pick up the phone and make that reservation and i promise you won't regret it!!

Full five stars for a really fantastic brunch with excellent service and a very friendly greeting. We showed up Sunday at around noon- four of us girls- and enjoyed just one of the most amazing brunches. The waiter came with the chalkboard, showed us the three-course menu and asked for our drink selection. From that point on everything ran so perfectly, we did not even have to ever look for a waiter once or wonder what's going on -food just arrived, water stayed full on the table, glasses kept getting filled it was truly exceptional and well-managed. We started with a large basket of bread and mini viennoiseries. The pain au raisin was my favorite: moist, gooey. Moving on to the second course, we each received a plate that had one perfectly cooked egg, a smoked salmon salad that was incredibly well smoked and flavorful, a muffin, and some cucumber salad. Divine. The third course followed and included some delicious yogurt, a poached pear, the best ravioli in a creamy cheesy sauce ever, and some sort of attempt at bacon. Absolutely perfect Sunday afternoon spent at this exceptional restaurant enjoying a perfect leisurely meal. Great place to know- and afterwards you can stroll along the St. Martin canal. Very romantic.

Well worth a short walk from the train stations. An attractive, small restaurant with an elegant approach to food. Simple menu, well prepared food. I had the mini tartare for starters. Despite the list of ingredients, it was underseasoned for my tastes, though the beef was delicious. Chicken to follow, with a nice puree of celeriac and apple. But NO creme caramel! Tragedy. I'd come back, for a date with my wife.

What a great experience. Crazy busy, so recommend a reservation or prepare to wait. If you wait, there's a wine bar across the street. But it's worth the wait! Food is classic french cafe, but with an updated style. We ordered a few small plates (entrees) and a main (plats). Escargots, black sausage, salad and sole. Everything we ordered was top notch. Way too much for two people, but somehow we struggled through. ;) Despite the cramped quarters and packed house, the servers were always attentive with us, and upbeat. We had a really fun evening.

We had an absolutely magical evening at Les Enfants Perdu! I think it may now be my most favorite place in Paris. The food was extraordinarily good and the ambiance enchanting. The service was professional, warm and gracious. I do, however, want to mention that the most wonderful thing of all was the conversation with our neighbor seated next to us. This, of course, has nothing to do with the restaurant itself except that a great and discerning restaurant can often attract great and discerning people. Our conversation also reflected the dinner presented to us. Both were stimulating, sincere and meaningful and offered a full spectrum of delights. We began with artichokes, burrata with heirloom tomatoes, and the most delicious gaspacho made with green tomatoes and chèvre without even a touch of garlic. I don't even know how describe its wonderfulness. All the first courses were fantastic, but if we had been served nothing else other than the gaspacho I would have left feeling the dinner a complete success. But wait! There's more... Next came veal roast accompanied by an exquisite sauce, sea bass grilled to perfection and paired with an array of the freshest vegetables imaginable, and whole sole, head on, cooked in butter with a touch of lime. There was much savoring of each forkful along with sighs of delight in between our conversations. At last came a molten chocolate cake and their signature brioche with caramel sauce. Both desserts came with homemade ice creams and sorbets. Lest I forget, the meal began with expertly made Manhattans. The wine accompaniments to the meal were also exceptional. Les Enfants Perdu is indeed a magical spot. The combinations of brilliantly prepared food, ambiance, and warmth could exist only in Paris, the most magical city of all!

Wow - this was the quintessential fancy French cuisine, fine dining in a slightly more relaxed atmosphere than usual. The food was just absolutely *decadent* - that's really the best way to describe it. The restaurant is a bit small and crowded, but we were seated at a table right away. The design of the restaurant was a fusion of classic and modern, Eastern and Western, classy and casual, all at the same time. It totally worked, and made a great, cozy spot to enjoy some great food & drink. The service was fantastic, and very English-friendly - in fact, one of the guys working there spoke American English so casually and easily, I had to wonder if he was French at all! (Plus, he looked almost exactly like Jeff Bridges as The Dude - very non-French, haha!)

This is a restaurant near Paris EST train station. Worth the short walk away from the brasseries across street from the station. The food was excellent, perfectly cook meats, great desserts and a good selection of wine, beer and liquors. Did not seem crowded relative to the quality of food.

On a business trip to Roissy--not Paris, no, we were stuck at the Airport Sheraton and an industrial park--I dragged my team into the city to get one real French meal on the last day of the project.Thank you, Yelpers, for pointing us in the right direction. If you don't like stinky cheese and don't like the pureed livers of force-fed ducks, don't order them. A couple of my teammates would broaden that rule a bit, but the stinky cheese and foie gras were so good to some of us that shouting the naysayers down was a good option. It was so good that I would like to personally apologize to the ducks involved, but given how much duck poop my dog has rolled in over the past few years, it might not be the full-throated apology they deserve. For the guys who prefer less challenging food, may I present a steak with potatoes au gratin and a green pepper sauce on the side. I had this myself, in fact, and snarfed it down with gusto as did everyone else. That, and the reasonably-priced Bordeaux. And the veal, in one case. (Which is worse ethically, veal or foie gras? I know I'm going straight to hell for even asking, but at this restaurant, it's relevant because they were both so good.) Je suis desole that my team didn't want anything more adventurous, and that my company-issued laptop can't do accents properly. But the food was the best I've had in France in three or four trips here, it was only a 15-minute walk back to the prison train--sorry, RER B--to the airport hotels the company put us at, and for €40 we got a wine I'd pay $50.42 for back home. (If you know how French prices work, you know what I mean.) Oh, and the servers speak English just fine. It's very simple in France, as it is everywhere else in the world: if you make an effort to learn the customs and language of the country you're visiting, people will treat you well. If you're a rude tourist, they won't. So I challenge the people who downgraded this place because they thought the waiter was rude to examine their own conduct, and maybe learn the phrase "excusez-moi de vous deranger, mais j'ai un petit question du menu" by heart.

Coming to Paris on business, I wanted to get away for at least one evening to have a delicious meal with a local cousin. Teetering on whether to take me somewhere more mainstream or "where the cool kids go," I opted for the latter! How often do you get to explore foreign cities with a local? To the cool kids locale, I say! Said cousin brought me to Les Enfants Perdus, and it was a real treat. In a super lovely part of Paris in the 10th, with people picnicking on the canal, it's a perfect setting. The service was good, tolerating my broken French and helping me out with English in a not snobbish fashion. The food was excellent. Started with a delicious slab of the foie gras, because how could you not when it's available? (Sorry, Californians) Followed by the duck breast and the pain perdu for dessert. I wasn't disappointed by a thing. The duck was cooked well and the pain perdu was like a bread pudding but made with a single thick slice of bread. I will say that my ice cream was not salted caramel as promised by the menu, but was a pear sorbet. It was still tasty, so I didn't raise any gripes. A bit off the beaten track, but definitely a good place to go to avoid the more "touristy" locales and restaurants. Totally worth the visit.

This is a solid place for dinner, the interior is very fancy and modern, and they have some larger tables for groups. The food here was quite good, with some dishes being big hits (such as the mozzarella appetizer) and others were just fine. Gluten-free notes: Most dishes here were naturally gluten-free and they were happy to adjust as needed. I believe there were a few Asian-influenced dishes so don't forget to ask about soy sauce.

I got to enjoy dinner here last week with two colleagues while on a business trip to Paris. We were staying nearby, and the exceptional staff at our hotel recommended we dine here. I'm so glad that they did! The restaurant staff was so welcoming, and our dinners were excellent. I had the mushroom soup, the steak (that came with bone marrow, potatoes au gratin and a nice pepper sauce on the side), and the tarte tatin. Every morsel was absolutely delicious. The restaurant had a very inviting and comfortable ambiance. Not pretentious at all which I appreciate. Definitely plan on visiting again next time I am in this area of Paris.

Romantic, wonderful atmosphere with a small "cloud" room at the back , a covered terrace that felt so airy despite the fact that the tables are so close that I had to fight the urge to eat off my neighbors plate. This place is more of a small neighborhood restraunt, with a few expats hanging around. You can drink at the bar, and on a nice day sit outside. The meal started with a crab dish with cucumber spaghetti, followed by a butterflied fish, with truffle oil. I don't really like my fish to be staring up at me while I eat it's insides, but you know how it is in Paris. I thought maybe some people eat stuff out of the head like the brain and eyes... but that is not my speed. Oh ... and the freaking bread basket on every table in Paris is amazing, it was a white bread eat-a-thon the whole trip. I had a really wonderful bottle of Chataueneuf-du-paup and a drink called a classique, which tasted just like a Mojito so I just went with it. For desert: Eat the Pan Purdue. Just do it. You can really be happy with any of the deserts, but the Pan Purdue is a stunner. After your meal you can walk the canal and see the young parisians sitting, drinking and eating along the canal banks.

During my first trip to France, this was the first restaurant we ate at. Recommended by a friend of a friend who lives in the neighborhood, this tiny neighborhood spot is nestled away in an alley in the 10e. This was by far my favorite meal in all of Paris. The prices were reasonable, the dishes expertly prepared and was truly an authentic experience. The dishes that stood out to me the most were the ravioli, the house smoked salmon, the duck breast with puree'd parsnips, the "brunch that never ends" and the creme brulee. Not all of the servers here spoke English, but they were kind enough to speak English to us when our French reached it's limitations. Very kind staff, excellent service and wonderful food. If you are visiting and staying near the canal, I highly recommend coming here.

We had a truly divine dinner last night with the chef showing a dexterity that's unusual to say the least with standards as well as nouvelle-ish menu items. The steak tartare app may have been the best we've ever had, chevre ravioli a true revelation. Mains of volaille (chicken breast) also revealed new taste sensations in a standard, while seared salmon over asian-inspired wok veggies was light and refreshing. Nice wine list with reasonable prices due to their ownership (we surmised) of the wine store across the street (we enjoyed the "Magic of Ju-Ju" proprietary white wine at EUR 30. At EUR 178 for four we thought it a great value..

I came here with my husband and I ended up eating his volaille (while he ate my tartare) and I highly recommend it. Not speaking French, it was a bit hard for my husband so I would advise bringing a French speaker along (but that goes for anywhere you go, in France really). Besides that, the establishment was small but very nice and expensive but worth the splurge. We had a very nice time.

We came earlier in the week for the BEST handcrafted cocktails. Sezeracs and Sours. The place is a busy neighborhood hot spot for good reason. We came back for dinner tonight. Superb. Cocktails were on point. We went all out for dinner. Fois gras was balanced and rich with carmelized shallots in red wine. Also Prawn dumplings were delicious. Main plates were whole sole and duck breast. Both done impeccabley. Our server recommended the Langedoc, Domaine de L'Elephant which was perfect for our meal. Dessert was a must we had the Chocolate lava cake which was yummy but the Le cafe Gourmand was a beautiful sample of desserts. The STAR being the Pistacio Creme Brûlée. The wait staff is very helpful, friendly and professional. I wish I lived here so I could be a regular !!!

Had a fantastic night at this place. It's cozy and the waiters did a great job even though we had a language barrier between us. We ordered Mini Tartar, Fish carpaccio, Beef, Cod and desserts. All very delicious at a reasonable price. Would maybe have liked french fries to the beef instead of just vegetables but not a big issue.

What a great find! This place is 2 minutes walk away from my in-laws apartment, they offered to babysit so we opted to eat somewhere close. There are so many restaurants to try in Paris but not many I would go back to, not because they were all bad but I'd rather keep trying new places. However, I would come back here in lieu of opting to try a new one. Front of the restaurant appears more like a bar while the back the ceiling has glass roof with tons of natural light. I had the salmon tartare while my husband had the foie gras of course; both were excellent. Then I had the sea bass still on sole, it was fresh but I did find few bones and didn't care too much for the artistically decorated vegetables. I much preferred my husbands steak and potatoes. Wow, what a tasty and tender steak! At a glance, the steak looked overcooked but it appears so because it had been marinated or aged. The sauce and potatoes were very good. I had the Creme brûlée for dessert, and to my surprise, it came with three cups with different flavored. They were good but I prefer warm brûlées. My husband had the pain perdue and we ended up switching because I couldn't stop eating off his plate yet again. Loved it, wasn't too ridiculously sweet or rich but perfect with my favorite poire sorbet. The restaurant was packed for a week night. Note to make reservations next time. Patrons included mix of locals and expats that are here on business trip. Service was good. I will come back for the salmon tartare, steak and potatoes, and pain perdue.

My first trip to Paris France and my little sister took me here! It was wonderful. The food was fantastic and the owners friendly - brothers I believe. It was very relaxing to sit at the back under the atrium-like sky lights.

We had dinner at Les Enfants Perdus on a Friday night and the place was busy with a mix of locals and tourists. It's a cozy restaurant (our table was cramped but we didn't really mind) and pretty charming. The food was good, but not spectacular. The steak we ordered was overcooked, however le boeuf was served in layers of mashed potatoes and beef and was quite good. The trio of creme brulee for dessert was very good. Service was a bit snobbish and overall our server was not particularly attentive. I would return, but there are better options nearby.

The Lost Children is an appropriate name. We had been meandering about this neighborhood (never had been to this area before) looking for food and stumbled on this lovely restaurant, brunch time on a rainy Sunday. It was exactly what we were looking for. We came in and it was packed to the gills with people eating a delicious 25Euro prix fixe brunch. Brunch is apparently a fairly new concept in Paris and few restaurants actually serve a brunch. We opted to wait by the small bar to see if anything would open up. A man, we presumed to be the owner, is an ex-pat from Chicago. He went to the bartender and said in French, my friends will eat at the bar so they cleared a little spot. We had a plate of croissants and such, a terrific salad with salmon, a baked egg and then we were full and thoroughly happy. Good coffee, fresh orange juice. We opted to skip the next part of the prix fixe, which included a beautiful yogurt and some kind of baked pasta thing. We had just arrived in Paris and were trying to show a modicum of restraint, which by Day 2, went into the gutter. All throughout our meal, more and more people kept pouring in and they were clearly overwhelmed but no one seemed to really mind. We plan on coming back for a dinner before the end of our trip.

We (company of 4) walked to this restaurant after reading reviews on this website, we were not disappointed. The menu changes often so one will never know what's there unless you call ahead. We had the foie gras for an appetizer, two people ordered the beef tartare and two people ordered the veal. We also split the creme brûlée for dessert and had 2 glasses of wine. The total for our bill was 127 euros. The foie gras was served with 4 pieces of toast and chopped caramelized pineapple pieces, it was fantastic. The veal was tender and served with a mushroom sauce and potatoes. The beef tartare was spiced well was fresh, but tasted a little bit sour and was served with sliced potato and mesculine and arugula salad. The creme brûlée consisted of 3 different types (1 bourbon, 1 vanilla bean, and 1 chocolate) and was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant, but call ahead for reservations as when we got there we got the second and last unreserved table (10 minutes after the restaurant opened). Our waiter was very attentive along with the other waiters who weren't assigned to our table. Other dishes on the menu included: swordfish, sea bass, leg of duck, chicken, beef fillet, and assorted cheese platter.

Great food and a good atmosphere. We were in France for a week and this was the best dinner we had. The staff here were the friendliest we met in Paris.

We were looking for a place to have brunch in Paris this last weekend and Les Enfants Perdus totally hit the mark. Travelling with our bebe, we weren't sure that we'd be allowed in with our stroller. We made sure to arrive soon after opening and were pleasantly greeted and seated at a table with room for the stroller so our little one stayed sleeping through the meal. At 25 euros for the prix fixe menu, we felt it was very reasonable given the amount and quality of food...fresh pastries, fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee, smoked salmon salad, baked egg, savory muffin, cucumber salad, pasta finished with creamy yogurt and grapes. Yum. Will definitely go back.

A treat as a neighborhood restaurant. Very well priced; great food and caring service. Two nights of dinner there and loved both times. Weekend dinner had a fun frenetic energy; weeknight dinner was laid back and mellow. Pick your vibe, but be sure to go. Terrific place to enjoy good food, while feeling like a regular.

One of the best dining experiences in Paris. Feels casual, but the food is top-notch. They have stellar music playing - always - but it doesn't interrupt your conversation. The bar (and bartender) will impress! Always, always go for the dessert! You won't be disappointed.
