Au Bon Accueil

Amazing 6 course meal and the staff was phenomenal. The accommodated my wife’s pregnancy limitations and made 2 ½ hours fly by! Recommend you go at 7, because it fills up later and it’s small.

Wonderful. One of the best meals I’ve had anywhere in over 50 countries. Small well appointed restaurant with white table-​cloths, pristine clean. Waiters very helpful and kind. I had calves tongue, fabulous, and mousse caramel au beurre sale. Not cheap, but very worth the price. With the 3 course formule, the dessert ends up being less than ½ price. 5 minutes walk to Eiffel tower, so was leary it would be touristy, but everyone was French there (except us, but we speak French, because we live in France). Definitely will return, this place has many regulars.

Cadre très intimiste et chic. L’accueil est à la fois personnel et chaleureux, et reflète très bien le nom du restaurant. A votre entrée, il vous est poliment proposé de vous débarrasser de vos vêtements.
La vue de la Tour Eiffel à deux pas est imprenable.
Côté cuisine, elle se veut gastronomique au niveau des prix de la qualité, mais sans les étoiles.
Néanmoins, le menu du marché avec E/​P/​D pour 36 euros est tout à fait abordable pour un déjeuner d’affaires dans le quartier du 7e arrondissement. On a le choix entre 4 entrées, plats et desserts.
Les mets à la carte sont plus chèrement tarifés, compter 20 – 25 euros l’entrée et 40 euros le plat. Le restaurant proposé également un menu dégustation à 55 euros pour une entrée, deux plats (poisson et viande) et deux desserts (pré dessert et dessert).
On vous propose avec le café des mignardises qui sont fort appréciables.
Autre point de détail, le chef est japonais.
Le restaurant n’est pas ouvert le week end. Le vendredi soir, il n’est pas rare de voir des dîners entre amoureux. :)

This was some of the best food I’ve had in my life. I spent 90 € for two people, we both got a three corse meal, half a bottle of wine, and café. It was absolutely worth the cost. It has a very intimate setting and the waiters were very kind. One read the French menu out to us after seeing us struggle with google translate.

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

This is a tough spot to typecast — new style bistro or updated classic restaurant. In either case it’s a winning formula — white table cloths, attentive knowledgeable servers and a diverse menu of updated classical dishes. The prix fixe is an especially good value — interesting starters, main courses and especially fine desserts. The wine list is straightforward and provides good pairing options at varying prices.

Best meal we have had in Paris on our entire stay. Extremely attentive staff who even suffered through our poor French with aplomb. The fixe prise menu was outstanding with smoked duck carpaccio to start which was exquisite. The pork medallions were perfectly cooked to medium and the apple tart dessert equally delicious. Please avoid the tourist traps near the Eiffel Tower and take a5 minute walk to pure dining pleasure!

BF and I came here on a Friday night at 20:30. The hotel had made reservations for us only 5 hours beforehand, so I was really happy to get in. The place was full, and I saw many people turned away because of this. They had no menu in English, which is fine, we are in France after all, although with half or so of their cliental English speaking, it might not be the worst idea to print out a few. However we were able to figure out the menu on our own, and the server did speak English well enough to take our order. BF and I both ordered from the set menu. For les entrees, I got the burrata, with green, yellow, and red tomatoes, basil, mozzarella cheese, and olive oil, and BF got the salmon with green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash. Both were wonderful. My tomatoes were so amazingly fresh, and so was the mozzarella. For les plats, both BF and I got the tuna. It was amazing. Thick cut, and perfectly cooked. For dessert I got the tiramisu mousse. It was really good, but it was all mousse and mascarpone cheese, no cake part. It was good, but I did miss the cake part. We ordered a bottle of 2007 Château Rouget, which was lovely. The service was prompt, no, not overly «friendly», but respectful and courteous, and I enjoy that kind of service. The restaurant is only a very short 5-​minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, and someone was awesome enough to take our picture, it was an awesome view from outside. The dress was anywhere from slightly dressy, like we were, to slightly casual. Not too casual though. No flip flops or jean shorts please. I would absolutely recommend this place. Fabulous first meal in Paris.

Short version, amazing! It’s a hidden gem near the Eiffel Tower but an amazing place for dinner. There was nothing on the menu that did not look appetizing! Try the cheese plate as a starter, you can’t go wrong. A bottle of wine and what a night!

I loved this place. I was searching for someplace to eat near the Eiffel Tower but I didn’t want some mediocre tourist place. I saw this place and I thought it would be perfect. I thought right. They had a € 35 pre fixe menu that was incredible. They also had some reasonable wine specials that were very good. The food and service were quite good. And after several days of spending € 100+ on dinner, I was relieved by the low price tag. I will definitely return to this place on my next trip to Paris.
Tip– it fills up for dinner. I was very lucky to get a table for 5 as a walk in. Reservations are highly recommended.

We had an amazing dinner here. The waiter was very helpful, particularly as we do not speak much French and had been treated poorly at a few other restaurants around Paris. He helped us with the menu and made helpful suggestions. The mackerel appetizer, pea soup, beef burgundy, hake and everything else was excellent. The best part was probably the mashed potatoes which were ridiculously good. Great wine as well.

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

This was one of the most memorable meals we had in Paris. We sat outside with an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. My husband and I had the tasting menu and everything we ate was impeccable both in presentation and flavor. The real standout was a raspberry chocolate pastry for dessert which I still dream about til this day.

Recently spent a week in Paris and a week in Barcelona and this place was was hands down the best meal and best service we received on our entire trip.

Excellent food and service. The view of the Eiffel Tower is spectacular. They also were very accomodating with my two children. Wonderful experience! I will be back.

This is a small place near the Tower. When I say small, I mean that it will be hard to avoid talking to your neighbor. Sooner or later, one of you is going to have to go to the bathroom and to get out, you need to move your neighbor’s table. Good thing for us, our neighbors were not overbearing.
That being said, the food is really good and is reasonably priced by Paris standards.
I started with the foi gras, which was outstanding. I am not a big tortured goose liver kind of guy so I don’t even know why I ordered it. Maybe because it is Paris and a specialty. Now that I have eaten it the way it should be prepared, I am reconsidering my position on overfeeding geese. It was that good.
I followed that with the roasted chicken. An all-​bird meal. Really nice. The skin was crispy and not greasy. The gnocchi that came with it was a nice touch and the sauce was perfect.
All in all, the meal was so good that I didn’t mind that the waiter accidentally spilled the sauce from my wife’s meal on my suit jacket (he got it out with club soda).

Great non-​touristy spot for lunch by the Eiffel Tower. Excellent food/​portions and service. I recommend it!

Encore un chef japonnais qui pratique la cuisine française 100% bistrotière, avec une carte qui évolue constamment avec au déjeuner un menu à 32 euros, comptez plus du double le soir mais on est très proche de la tour Eiffel.
Les gros mangeurs seront à la fête, les gourmands aussi, le service est de qualité.
Bref une bonne adresse.

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

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

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

Un petit bistrot sobre et chic, quelque peu élégant, une quarantaine de couverts tamisés à la lueur des veilleuses pour diner, dans un décor bien pensé. L’accueil n’a rien à envier aux jovials bistrots typiquement parisiens puisque nous fûmes accueillis avec une certaine froideur peu encourageante par la responsable de salle. Ce soir là, le restaurant était remplie à 80% par une clientèle exclusivement japonaise, un calme de dévotion voué à la dégustation était déployé dans toute la salle. Néanmoins, dès la carte ouverte, un choix raffiné de foie gras, veau poissons et gibier, rien pour les végétariens que je suis, excepté un excellent consommé de châtaignes à l’huile de truffes en entrée. En dessert un Mont Blanc aux fruits rouge sorbet marron glacé moins raffiné que l’entrée et un baba au rhum à l’ancienne qui n’égale pas à mon goût, celui de vin et marée à la Comédie Française. Belles présentations et pain fait maison, quant aux vins, le bourgogne fut bien mais sans plus. Il manqué l’essentiel à mes sens, qui est la convivialité pour que le repas soit très agréable, alors qu’un très grand tableau au mur montre justement l’exemple à travers une scèné de déjeuner au siècle passé.

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

Très bonne cuisine. Prix élevé quand-​même. A recommander…

Dans un 7ème discret se trouve le Bön Accueil .
Depuis son ouverture, ce petit bar de quartier est devenu un lieu connu dans le monde entier, où vous auriez pu croiser des grands stars. Le Bön Accueil renouvelle sa carte en fonction du marché.
Dans un cadre classique et chic vous pourrez déguster une très bonne cuisine de marché. Très belle carte de vins.

Tout est dans le nom !
Petit restaurant français (peu de couvert). Cuisine raffinée, service excellent et le must, une vue sur la tour Eiffel si vous mangez à l’exterieur. Un conseil: RESERVEZ, ce restaurant étant référencé dans un célèbre guide ! En couple ou entre amis.

Accueil sympathique, décoration sobre mais très agréable dans le style bistrot chic, jolie carte des vins mais avec des tarifs 7ème arrondissement. Une déception sur le contenu de l’assiette: les entrées sont à tomber par terre, les plats sont bien mais manquent de caractère en comparaison du début du repas et les desserts sont à revoir. C’est quand même une adresse à retenir.

Heureusement, la nourriture est correcte…
Très mauvais accueil. On nous a imposé une table en plein passage… Les serveurs n’arrivaient même plus à passer près de nous sans toucher la table ! Par contre, je me demande toujours qui était notre serveur (on en a eu au moins trois à se succéder) et les seules phrases que l’on a entendu ont été: «Vous avez déjà commandé le café? «et «Vous partez? On vous a encaissé ?»

impeccable
Entre le restaurant gastronomique et le bistrot il y a le bon accueil: décor chic et sobre, plats raffinés et sans prétention. Ce qui est servi est digne d’un restaurant 1 étoile pour un prix à la carte (la totale, en prenant les plats les plus chers: entrée, plat dessert, vin: 45 euros) tout à fait raisonnable. Le lièvre à la royale est exceptionnel et les desserts sont à se rouler par terre. Réservation indispensable. Une adresse à retenir.

Raffiné mais pas trop
Une carte en fonction du marché du jour qui né manqué pas de saveur et d’originalité. Un service et un accueil comme on les aime dans nos restaurants typiquement parisiens.
