Café Rivoli Park

Came here for a snack. Would not recommend this place. Food is microwaved and for the price you pay it should be cooked in a kitchen & fresh. Will not return.

If I could give a 0. I would give it 5 zeros in a row. Horrendous food, almost borderline rude service. Tells us no plain croissant, then serves couple next to us who turn up 5min later with 2 plain croissants. Food was microwaved. They treat foreigners like dirt in this place. AVOID IT!

The owner came out and greeted us for lunch and was really accommodating. FINALLY was able to get myself French onion soup with the thickest topper of cheese. And my croque Monsieur was perfect. I’ll go ahead and give it 5 since they were really friendly to my entire family, and was the perfect French café experience. We sat around and stared at the streets for an hour!

After half a day of sightseeing and shopping, we found ourselves starving in the middle of Rue de Rivoli — one of the most touristy areas in the World.
Initially, I was quite skeptical about eating at a place right on Rue de Rivoli, as it usually means mediocre and overpriced food. But my trusted Unilocal friend Alice G came to the rescue. Her positive 4-​star review gave me the confidence to try this place.
It was great! Prices were actually very reasonable, taking the location of the place into consideration.
The escargots were good, flavorful and meaty. They were fresh snails cooked in their original shells just like most other places in France.
The veal Normande was delicious. The thinly sliced veal cutlets were very tender and cooked to perfection. The marsala wine sauce was rich and creamy, and it brought a sweet and appetizing aroma to the table.
Having been away from the US for a few days already, the burger lover in me was craving a cheeseburger.
Yes, a cheeseburger in Paris!
But Paris burgers could be really good too, just like this one. First off, the burger was not from a pre-​made patty with fillers, but was made with fresh ground beef. One bite and you could taste the quality of the meat. It was a juicy burger, which means it’s also slightly greasy — but hey, that’s the good stuff! To make things even better, the fries were perfectly French!
Arrived hungry. Left happy. Wallet not emptied. I’m a fan!

Wow! Just had the most amazing steak with pepper sauce, green beans (instead of fries) and wine here! Peppy waiter who livens up the place! Such a charming place! Looks like a coffee place from outside but step in and they even have a full bar and wine list!

Solid four stars! We came in, out of a torrential downpour soaked and hungry and tired– low expectations due to the location on tourist’s row… Pleasantly surprised!!! Excellent casual dining at its best!
The waiter was charming, spoke English, French –was very accommodating! We had drinks, steak & frites, a cheeseburger, salad, and hot chocolate cake.
We had a great large un-​cramped table, the restroom was AOK and we left full and content, happier and dryer than when we arrived!
