Marcel

A well designed front seating area, with a okay breakfast; the taste was good but both the sausage and bacon were dry. Wouldn’t recommend the flat white (from a machine). Normally would have rated 4 stars but due to the price it ended up with 3. Personnel also not necessarily attentive.

It is a nice cafe with “international” brunch dishes. Good was good, but priced a bit too high for what you get.

We happened to walk past by this place the day before. It was full of people and looked really good. Decided to try it today and i am glad we did. Food was excellent and the portions are BIG. Fresh ingredients and pleasant service was everything we needed for a nice start for the day!

Restorative dinner at Marcel after a tiring afternoon of shopping. First time dining here following a recommendation from a friend who lives nearby. We thought the food was great and loved the vast number of salad options! We had a Caesar salad, green bowl and fried chicken and all was delicious. Dining room is beautiful but be warned the tables are very close to one another. On this night we were only one of three tables dining so we didn’t have any neighbours. Worth stopping by if you are in the neighbourhood.

Very nice eggs benedict, iced coffee, very fast service and friendly, not too packed with tourists. Great for a brunch.

Omg!!!! Run don’t walk here!!! I’ve lived in Paris for 3 years and this restaurant is my favorite discovery. American Brit style dishes (think English breakfast / loaded hot dogs / BCB) with French ingredients and savoir faire! There are also oriental dishes like Turkish style eggs and falafel style green bowls. If you go, try the French toast! Seriously the best dessert in Paris I’ve had. (This is saying a lot….)

Marcel is a really delicious little restaurant that thankfully I learned about before my trip to Paris, so I got to enjoy it when in Paris. It is impossibly small and tables are way too close to each other, but I guess in a way it gives it a bit more French atmosphere and ambience. When I came, I had ordered the Avocado Toast which then came with cream cheese, oranges and noisettes de Cervione. I had to try this because I never thought that oranges would go with avocado toast and cream cheese, but let me tell you how incredible it was. It's such a busy little spot and everyone looked happy and like they were enjoying the food and the service was quick and friendly. The premises are that small, that behind the counter, there's a hideaway dumb waiter that gets a lot of the food brought down from upstairs to the restaurant itself. It's just so cute that I cannot wait to visit Paris again so I can come back here and try things off their current menu. It's a little off the beaten path, so I don't feel there were heaps of tourists here, but that's a good thing to me, and I can't wait to come back. I highly recommend it here.

My experience in this restaurant was not great it is very overrated… the only thing that is worth the hype is the cheesecake the rest of the food is ok I order the bendict egg requesting it to be runny and it came hard as a rock and I asked the waiter to change it and she said it is impossible to make the egg runny!! And totally dismissed me and went for another table . The place is very hot too

The restaurant was near our hotel. Probably the best hollandaise sauce I've ever tasted! Fresh orange juice was delicious. French toast made perfectly with a soft center. Highly recommend! Lovely small place with simple elegant decor.

If you plan on checking out or doing any power shopping at Le Bon Marche, definitely fuel up here. However, make a reservation. We dropped in about 1130a-12n to catch a quick bite before shopping. They told us they were booked until 2p but offered to seat us at the remaining 2 counter seats (restaurant is tiny - probably only 10 tables and 4 counter seats). Sure enough, as we ordered and ate our delicious breakfast/brunch/lunch, the place filled to the brim. Lovely staff and great selections of food. Would go back. But call ahead for a table.

Fantastic. Love a good rich French dinner but for breakfast and lunch, this place is the best food we found while in Paris. Fresh, delicious, healthy, lots of great options. Cobb Salad, eggs Benedict, fantastic coffee. The best service, fun helpful staff. So good we came back 2 days in a row.

Visiting Paris my auntie recommended we stop in for a light lunch of salads. INCREDIBLE!!! From the iced tea to the fresh salads we got. Can't wait to come back! Very pricey ($74 for salads and 3 teas but well worth!!)

Ability to reserve for brunch? Excellent. Table was ready on time, service however was a bit slow and lax (rude) at times. Several requests for water, even dared to say we had one already? (Half empty bottle from previous table and no glasses??) Eggs Benedict was good, 'correct mais sans plus'. Some green salad on the side would have upped their game. Also, it was lukewarm at best. Prices were standard for Paris, I think 13€ for the eggs and 5€ the cranberry juice. Decent place for brunch, wouldn't go out of my way for it though (aka my 40 min trek across Paris!)

Came in for an impromptu brunch on a Sunday morning. The atmosphere is pretty chic - I thought the servers were going to be pretentious but they were surprisingly very nice and accommodating. Brunch prices were very fair (10-15 euros per dish), and my norwegian benedict was delightful! Tables are super close together but fortunately it wasn't very busy when we went.

Hands down, without a doubt, the best French toast I have ever had. It was so insanely moist and delicious. The toffee sauce was excellent when mixed with the banana. I don't think I have ever tasted a French toast quite like Marcel's. The place to go for French toast in France

Fine if you want a standard brunch menu in Paris. However poorly prepared food, long waits (for food, service and seating) and inattentive wait staff. Count 12 euros for eggs and 17 euros for a salad. Drinks are 5 euros. My eggs were way too creamy, bacon too well done it was almost dusty and the toast was totally cold.

Let me begin by saying that I already want to go back to eat here because my Pain Perdu (French toast for my fellow Americans) was off the wall delicious. It's not a stunner when you photograph it, but it tastes unlike other pain perdu I have had in Paris! When I ate here it was not crowded at all, but I arrived right when it opened in the middle of the week. The servers were extremely nice and they encouraged my American friend to practice his French while ordering and I found their patience to be extremely kind and refreshing. French servers are notorious for being rude, but they're very nice at Marcel! I really enjoyed the minimalist decor, the location in a quiet street in the 7th arrondissement, and the lack of fuss of making the food look perfect. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is because the price is a bit high; my pain perdu by itself was 13 euros. Then again, eating in the 7th is bound to make a dent in your wallet. Great place!

Brunch- only three stars- neither awesome nor horrible. Tight tables, constant requests for water....Food was lukewarm if not cold. Our table had Eggs Benedict (served not quite hot), a Salade Nicoise, (served with reheated tuna), and a club sandwich. The pancakes served at the next table (6 inches away) looked amazing! Cafe cremes were indeed delicious, and the cost was good, approximately 20 Euros per person. Good spot, solid spot, not worth a 40 minute train ride, but if you are in the neighborhood.

I went there to have brunch. YEAH it was Nice but the most amazing part was their café crème !!!!! Frankly speaking, I didn't hâve any expectation but....their café was deep and profond , and the crème was...zut my humble word cannot even describe! I thought I was sipping a cloud! Fantastique ! Leur café crème !! J'ai craqué à mort!!!

Went here for date night the other night. All in all an agreeable experience. It was a Tuesday so the restaurant wasn't very busy and we had perfectly attentive service-- waiters were appropriately distant but available as needed. The decor is modern, simple and clean with dim lighting and lots of mirrors. NB: mirrors line the banquet so diners sitting on chairs may have a tendency to stare at themselves for the entire meal. I was a bit disappointed to see only beer and wine on the menu since I was hoping to get the evening started with a cocktail. I was not, however, disappointed with the overly generous glass of wine I was served. There portions are far from the usual 12.5 cl of most places. I ordered the tuna which was just OK. It was fresh and cooked perfectly but the satay sauce was lacking seriously in the flavor and texture department. My boyfriend had the pulled pork burger which I wasn't lucky enough to get a bite of but it sure looked great. As an American with a fondness for pulled pork, I'd like to say that I have an eye for a good sandwich. It was served à la française, however, meaning there was way too much bun in the bun/meat ratio. I couldn't not get dessert and I decided to tempt their carrot cake. I was very pleased to find an American portion of carrot cake place in front of me, with an American portion of icing, hallelujah!! Flavor was pretty good but I was so full at this point I was hardly thinking straight. Probably won't return here any time soon, but would recommend it for a Franco-American lunch or dinner to others.

Drawn in by the menu and complete disregard for the Yelp rating, this American styled restaurant delivers quality product with a cozy atmosphere. I visited during the lunch hour and as expected the place was completely full. Waiting around 10 minutes for a table wasn't bad but there really is no place to wait and you're forced to lean against a pole and dodge the busy waitstaff. Once seated the menus were delivered promptly and here's where the fun begins. They really have a well rounded menu ranging from creative salads to club sandwiches and pulled pork burgers all the way to french toast. For me though I really wanted to try the Hot Dog Deluxe (with all the trimmings including jalepenos!). Food was ordered and delivered rather promptly, almost too promptly. For the presentation, the Hot Dog was beautiful. The restaurant uses a saucisse morteau, homemade brioche bun, homemade crispy onions, fresh jalepeno peppers and an american styled mustard with a bed of caramelized onions under the sausage. Food tasted very fresh and if I was to pick something to improve upon would be the sausage. Expectations when ordering a "Hot Dog" is that you get a German styled frankfurter and not a saucisse morteau/equivalent. The problem with the morteau is that the tensil strength of the casing requires more bite strength than is expected and in my opinion takes away from that hot dog experience. I'd liken it to putting a steak between white toasted bread, technically it would feed you but it's not quite how you'd expect to eat it. Another option would be to go with a crustier bread which matches the resistance of the sausage or maybe rename it to Hot Sausage Deluxe...baaaaah, anyway, I'm rambling! Ok, so I didn't take the dessert as I was full after eating the Hot Sausage Deluxe, but from what I saw from other tables it looked rather good. All in all a nice place, nothing exceptional but rather just a good place selling good food. I'll go back, likely for the Ruben bagel, sounds good right?

Took the halloumi sandwich and the pancakes. Both really good! Nothing to complain about, not cheap but still not expensive. Kinda small restaurant though so you might have to wait for a table. Great orange juice too

Went there in the afternoon to have a "goûter" as we would call in France, we had pancakes and a lemonade. Overall it was okay, we appreciated the location in the 7th arrondissement and the staff was nice. But it was too expensive to be worth it, 13euros for 3 pancakes come on...

Terribly overpriced. We paid over 100 Euros for 4 meals. I had avocado toast and it was good but not worth what I paid.

I had the cappuccino and french toast and would totally recommend it! The french toast was better than the waffles. This place had a relaxing/cool atmosphere. Unfortunately I was unable to try to the smoothie.

In the 38 years we have been coming to Paris and enjoying it a great deal, we have never come across a restaurant we could truly call - The "Worst Restaurant in Paris" and so much more. Even the restaurants we thought might have been bad in the past, none of them served a Sweet French Onion Soup. How on earth did this restaurant accomplish such horror. Indeed onions on their own have a sweetness to them but this soup we were served at 9.00 Euros per bowel was absolutely horrible. That was not all they served that was tasteless. We ordered a Cob salad and a pulled pork dish. The Cob salad 16.00 Euros had chicken that was horribly dried and it was like eating beef jerky. The pulled pork dish at 19.00 Euros did not state that is was barbecued pork - I made certain I did not ordered that dish that was in the menu. So I thought I would get a nice amount of pulled pork in my dish. Instead I got a glob of BBQ pulled pork with a gross amount of BBQ sauce. Even their wine selection was bad. I think the philosophy of this place is: If it does not contain a horrible amount of sugar or if we are not able to add lots of sugar to our dishes, it will not be served. Please do not waste your good earned money on this horrible place.

I came here alone last summer, and its beet salad was not impressive but decent enough with fresh veggies for a healthy meal. Today I went there with my hubby and newborn baby to enjoy our first meal in Paris, and omg the salad was one of the worst I've had this year. The greek salad was not greek at all. It wasn't balance at all- there were tomatoes, cucumber, sparing amount of red onion, not-so-fresh kalamata olives, and too much feta cheese. The salad was so easy-to-make recipe, but they failed making it. My hubby's club sandwich was just okay, but both of our coffees were cold and bland. Hamburger on the next seat seemed okay though. I really regretted having chosen here as our first dining spot in Paris.

A real joke! I took the falafel salad, 17€, which was alright. Granted the 3 falafel balls on it were very tasty. But the rest of the salad was just ok. And it was just small. The fun thing is I heard the waitress tell other customers "oh yeah at least with this one you won't be hungry in one hour"...haha! Well, I have to say I'm hungry now. Even having ordered an extra fries and ate a refill of bread. I'm not a huge eater usually. So to summary, not bad food for itself, but just the price is completely not justified, for the quality and the size. You can eat a lot better food for 17€ in nice neighborhoods of Paris. The staff was ok, there was one guy, really nice and attentive to us despite being there at the rush hour, and one unpleasant lady behind the counter: barely polite, weirdly familiar with some customers, and treating others with total disdain. She needs to learn respect and politeness. I'd say it's a tourist trap, but most patrons were actually French.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC BRUNCH. If you are a sweet tooth, the caramel french toast is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They also serve "American-style" giant mugs of coffee. I frequent this place and plan to in the future!

Fabulous team plus extraordinary food. Strong American influence. Instant success. Make reservation if you don't want to wait outside
