La Coïncidence

Dank Unilocal und der guten Bewertungen gefunden kann ich mich nur anschließen: Herausragende Küche, guter Service, angenehme Atmosphäre und eine lauschige Weinauswahl machen das La Coïncidence zu einem sicheren Anlaufpunkt — außer natürlich Sonntags wo in Paris niemand zu Abend zu essen scheint. Ich empfehle ebenfalls das Steak in der Foie Gras-​Sauce oder auch den Burger den ich probieren durfte und komme sehr gerne wieder.

La Coincidence, c’est un petit restaurant à l’ambiance tamisée et plutôt bien décoré. Bön les tables sont un petit peu serrées pour une sortie en amoureux mais ça le fait.
Niveau nourriture c’est du simple et efficace, des burgers, des tartares, quelques desserts assez classiques type crumble, moelleux au chocolat, tiramisu. Pour ce qui est du goûit, j’ai apprécié, c’est bon et savoureux.
Comptez autour de 35 – 40 € pour apéro + plat + dessert, certes la qualité est correcte mais pour moi c’est un peu cher. Dernière petite mauvaise surprise, le restaurant n’accepte pas les tickets restaurants le soir.

Tried this restaurant based on previous reviews and I’m so glad I did. The Duck breast w/​honey orange sauce over sautéed mushrooms with mashed potatoes & salad is amazing. I’ve been coming to Paris for the last 6 months and this is the best meal I’ve had. Not to mention the great atmosphere and welcoming staff. Can’t wait to come back on my next trip in 2 weeks.

So glad we found this restaurant while walking around the area. We were looking for some great food, in a cozy setting and got that and more. The service was fantastic, English speaking was very helpful. Had the Duck which was cooked to perfection with a yummy Syrah and crumble for dessert. Highly recommended!

Friendly (might I add handsome) wait-​staff all eager to offer suggestions and speak in English. I ordered the scallops which were cooked to perfection and paired with vegetables and sauces that blew my mind (and tastebuds) Very cozy interior, I think that there’s a back room for additional seating but I’m not sure. We arrived a little after 20h with no reservation however I think it might be a good idea to make one if you plan on coming that late on a Friday night. Feels local but apparently from the amount of English reviews and the ease of which our server spoke English, I’m going to assume they are very welcome to travelers as well.
Also! I highly recommend taking your time and saving room for dessert. The crème brûlée is fantastic and easily shared between 2!
I will definitely come back again.

Ordered the beef rib eye with foie gras sauce and i loved it! The beef was tender. It came with scalloped potatoes and it was so creamy. It’s a lovely place to dine with an unpretentious atmosphere.

So far since we’ve been in Paris this is the best restaurant with great food. Waiters were friendly and seated us even though we didn’t make reservations. The restaurant was warm and cozy. We ordered the raw salmon for appetizer and had the duck and steak with foie gras sauce. It was so great we finished everything and left the plate clean!

Remarkable balance of flavors. It’s always a good sign when you can’t decide what to eat because everything looks so good. They have a variety of tartare dishes both beef and salmon. To not miss out on the amazing entrees, I opted for the salmon tartare appetizer. The salmon was very fresh and perfectly seasoned with dill, lime, olive oil. Perfect and refreshing appetizer. For entrees, we had the duck as well as the scallops. The orange sauce was simple but executed just right. Great balance of sweet, tart and savory. The scallops wee rich and creamy. The sauce was a bit heavy for my taste but the flavor was spot on. Dessert was the chocolate covered poached pear. I was thrilled the chef used a bitter sweet chocolate. The restraint on the sweetness was very refreshing and let the pear shine.
The service was friendly, helpful and attentive. This will be a standby place when I am in Paris.

Absolutely amazing food!!! Was very impressed with the staff and their recommendations for food as well as the wine. Definitely off the beaten path but worth it.

My trip (s) to La Coincidence made me decide I need to start writing reviews. We came here 3 times in our 6 nights in Paris. That’s how good it was. The owner, Albon, and the staff are amazing and friendly people that made us feel completely at home. It is a local joint, that makes you feel like your not just eating in Paris but having an experience. Cannot recommend it enough.
Had the scallops twice, unreal!!! And the pepper steak, also phenomenal. GET THE EGGPLANT APPETIZER!

Probably my favorite meal that I had in Paris! The duck was tender and absolutely delicious. Magret de canard is my favorite and they definitely know how to cook it here. Exactly what I wanted for one of my last meals in my favorite city. It was out of the way and not a tourist spot at all, which made it even better. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. We loved our meal so much that we couldn’t help but get dessert! I’ll definitely be back!

One of my favorite places for dinner in Paris. Wait staff was very friendly, especially for someone without an ability to speak any French.

Great French food! The service is fast and friendly — our waiter (I believe the owner) spoke solid English and was very friendly. The scallops were excellent! The lemon sauce, mashed potatoes, and vegetables were great and the scallops tasted delicious, but the dish only came with 4 relatively small scallops — not enough for a full meal. The duck was good (we ordered medium, and it was pretty rare), but the fillet is probably the superior choice. We didn’t like the taste or texture of the foie gras appetizer, but others seemed to really enjoy it. The poached pear dessert and pessac wine were also excellent — I would highly recommend both. The restaurant is cozy and crowded — get an online reservation!

Many restaurants in Paris are small, and that can’t be helped. However, La Coïncidence feels wonderfully cozy, not claustrophobic. Maybe it’s the big glass restaurant front or the cushioned corner booth I had, but most likely the very charming hosts.
The menu is solid. I had the beef in foie gras sauce, steak tartare, scalloped potatoes and rabbit pâté. All were excellent, favored in the above referenced order. Everything was reasonably priced, including the wine.

Best lunch in Paris.
Delicious beef in foie gras sauce. Delicious salmon tartare (Thai spices).
Really delicious red Pessac-​Leognan wine.
Lovely hosts.

Well priced, busy and unexplainably cool. Lovingly prepared neighbourhood food within a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Smack dab in the 16^th. Unpretentious and awesome.

This is the place to recommend. The one that I will always come back to. This is it. It serves a WONDERFUL steak with foie gras and mushroom sauce, but they SHINE when it comes to their tartar steaks. The 16^th is a bit out of the way in Paris but if you’re ever around Trocadero or Etoile, it is absolutely worth the walk. The atmosphere is quiet in that Parisian sort of way where silence is chic and yet there is still a tinge of that frantic urban pulse running through the room.
* GOOD FOR: Anyone really. Great steak, stellar tartar, wonderful St. Jacques scallops. I’m gonna need a minute here sorry…
* NOT GOOD FOR: I don’t know… people who want shawarma? Seriously I can’t envision a scenario where you’d want to skip this. Unless you’re a goose. Or your father was a goose.

Très bon, du classique sans invention mais avec de très bon produits. service très sympa et prix corrects.

This is a wonderful classic French restaurant with a down home, comfort, family style atmosphere, in the same area of the Eiffel Tower.
The menu is in French, so if you’re not fluent enough to understand the menu items, most of the waiters are very friendly and helpful, and speak enough English to assist you with translations. Arrive at opening hour or expect a wait, unless you have a reservation.
Food items are simply prepared, but very delicious. They generally have a special soup of the day-​hubby and I had soup with a seafood base.
Also tried a eggplant appetizer, and a sampling of different items, which included a salmon dish, chicken, and vegetables which were roasted in a velvety, earthy cooking sauce.
It can become loud, depending on the time of day that you come. Otherwise, everything was top notch, and the prices are very reasonable.

Do yourself the favor and eat here! The most delicious meal I’ve ever had in Paris, with an inviting and casual atmosphere. In any other restaurant this would have been an expensive, white table cloth meal, but they prepared exquisite food without the fuss.
Everything we ate was incredible! We started with the eggplant gratin which was perfectly cooked on a bed of mozzarella and topped with fresh basil. My husband got the soup of the day which was a purée of potato, carrot and leeks; yum! For our entrees I had the beef with mushroom and foie gras sauce, which was the best entrée I’ve maybe ever had (all the other reviews were right!!), and he got the scallops which he reviewed with almost as high acclaim. We were too full for dessert but the table next to us got the cheesecake and licked their plates clean so I imagine it was also delicious. All of this food and a bottle of wine and our bill was under 100 euro!
The restaurant is also very comfortable; like eating at someone’s home. There is a small front room and more tables in back that all filled up by 9pm. We called ahead for a reservation and got the front corner booth with comfortable bench seats and large soft pillows to lean against (props you close to the table instead of slouching back). The two servers both attended to each table, were very polite, and spoke English well. But regardless of how great the atmosphere was, what I will really remember/​crave about La Coincidence is the FOOD!
I hope I get to eat here again soon!

Parfait! Décors parfait, ambiance intime, j’ai pris des saint Jacques et ça ressemblait exactement aux images que Unilocal affichait déjà. J’ai rarement goûté un poisson si bien cuisiné bravo!

J’ai découvert ce restaurant sur Unilocal,je le recommande fortement ! Le staff est très sympa et patient (nous sommes arrivés avec 30 minutes de retard). Les Tartares sont excellents les prix restent corrects

Restaurant au coeur du 16ème arrondissement avec un décor très épuré mais agréable. Service rapide et peu attentif (serveur né connaissant pas correctement la carte donc difficile de conseiller la clientèle). Plats très gouteux mais parfois trop gras comme pour les tagliatelles au saumon. De plus, erreur sur le prix du vin, corrigé lors du paiement par nos soins et nouvelle erreur sur le remboursement. Autrement, bon établiessement !!!

A essayer le tartare boeuf et le burger magret canard. Ca vaut le coup!
Le rapport qualite/​prix est impeccable egalement.

Ahh pari… such fond memories. Especially the food. This place did most of it right.
Service was outstanding. The staff was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful with the menu. They explained the entire French menu from top to bottom.
There was an expat working there when we went who was originally from NYC working there, wonderful young lady, with excellent recommendations.
We started with the chicken Tartine. I’ve had better Tartine, but this place is solid. It was on the drier side which I don’t mind at all. Anything is better than slimy texture so I was really happy with this.
Then we had the beef with the foie gras sauce everyone is raving about. It lived up to the hype. Super buttery, tender, and oh, so flavorful! The other dishes were just okay. If I could do it all over again, I would order 5 beef foie gras. And wine. Lots of wine.

About one half mile north of the Eiffel Tower on a small side street north of Victor Hugo circle and south of the Trocadero neighborhood sits this amazing neighborhood restaurant.
I walked in late on a Saturday night and was lucky enough to grab a small table in the back room.
Like nearly half of the other patrons I opted for the rare filet with wild mushrooms served in a foi gras cream sauce and a side of potato gratins (on the menu it appears as Filet de boeuf sauce aux cèpes et foie gras, gratin dauphinois). As Recommend by the server the meal was paired with a few glasses of the Reserve de la Duchesse Pessac-​Léognan a very nice bordeaux mix which I highly recommend to go with this menu selection.
And for dessert an amazing vanilla crème brûlée that was like a warm blanket for my soul.
The food was amazing and the service (despite a very full Saturday night was extremely friendly and helpful (everyone on staff seemed to speak English). This restaurant has my highest recommendation.

OK, it’s got a few tourists too many at times, but really it is amazingly good. From service to décor to food to desserts, I was completely impressed.
If you want the insane perfect table with a high end atmosphere, it’s not your place. If you want good honest food done with care, go there.

J’ai entendu parlé de ce restaurant par mon père qui a rencontré un des gérants, étant quelques jours sur Paris, j’ai décidé de le tester.
Bön il est vrai le quartier est un peu mort, mais La Coïncidence relève un peu le niveau.
En y entrant, je trouve la salle un peu petite (ce n’est que plus tard que je vois la deuxième salle à l’arrière) mais très bien décoré.
Pour ma part, je prends la terrine de lapin qui était succulente même si j’ai été un peu étonné de la quantité pour une entrée. Ensuite un filet de boeuf au cèpes accompagné d’un gratin dauphinois que j’ai adoré. Je peux dire que ce restaurant est une très bonne surprise, surtout que j’ai reçu un accueil très chaleureux d’Alban et nous avons bien parlé durant la soirée, je né suis pas un habitué des restaurants à Paris, mais c’était une agrèable découverte et ce n’est pas partout que l’on est aussi bien reçu, surtout avec une telle bonne humeur.
Pour moi cela a été une soirée réussie et je né trouve rien à redire, donc je mets un ⁵⁄₅ !

Hands down, thee best meal I’ve had in Paris and YTD 2015.
If you’re in Paris and reading this GO HERE NOW! Do not leave Paris without stopping here. The prices are very reasonable and the quality is phenomenal.
We found this cute space via Unilocal,it’s a 10 min walk from the Trocadero stop on the Metro.
The space and ambience inside was wonderful and the wait staff was beyond compare.
We have the eggs with foi gras appetizer and it was great. We then had the filet mignon and the the scallops and it too was great.
I attached pictures of our dessert which made the meal even more wonderful.

Très bon restaurant avec des plats français variés et une très belle décoration.
Le personnel est aimable et souriant.
Nous avons passé un bon moment dans ce restaurant.

We wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower at night so we were searching for a dinner spot close by (but not too close and touristy). Luckily we stumbled upon La Coincidence! We were there when it just opened and about ²⁄₃ of the tables were already reserved (weeknight), so be sure to make reservations in advance or come right at opening!
Since the whole menu is in French, we had a hard time deciphering… luckily, the waiter was SUPER amazing and patiently translated AND described each dish on the menu one by one. The ambience is quirky, casual and overall very comfortable.
We had…
Soupe du jour– soup of the day, it was a creamy and spicy fish soup with great texture and flavor
Magret de canard du Perigord et sa sauce au miel et a l’orange, purée de pommes de terre — highly recommend this! Its duck cooked in a honey and orange sauce and it is perfect… so, so perfect
Saint Jacques sauce beurre blanc, fondu de poireaux et petits — delicate scallops in a white butter sauce… yummy
All dishes came out hot and fresh :) Really great place to go for a casual dinner!

Petit restaurant très chaleureux
Très bonne accueil des serveurs
Plats commandés entrecôte accompagné d’un gratin dauphinois vraiment succulent
Le dessert mérite aussi le détour très bon strawberry cheese
Je conseille vivement ce restaurant à quelques pas des champs élysées

Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Restaurant ! Wir hatten vorab online reserviert.
Im Restaurant wurden wir sehr freundlich begrüsst. Wir waren sofort von der gemütlichen Atmosphäre begeistert. Die Speisekarte wurde uns sehr nett und ausführlich übersetzt.
Wir haben uns für einen Apéritif, Tartar (Basque/​Ratatouille) und das Rinderfilet Foie-​Gras-​Pilzsauce entschieden.
Alle Gerichte waren total lecker ! TOP !!! :-)

Je cherchais un petit restaurant bien sympa dans ce quartier souvent peu animé et rempli d’endroits un peu trop guindés à mon goût!
Ce petit restaurant était une bonne surprise!
Le service était d’une simplicité charmante, le lieu est très accueillant et là population y est variée. Ok le quartier né reste pas du tout animé mais ça c’est une autre histoire…
La carte est bien faite, ce n’est aps hors de prix et il y a du choix (c’est même assez original).
Le seul soucis c’est vraiment l’inégalité de la qualité des plats… le fois gras est incroyable par contre le tartare manqué de goût… les aubergines sont délicieuses mais le poulet est tout sec
Bref une qualité qui né vaut pas toujours le prix et c’est bien dommage car la carte et le service sont impeccables!

Comme je n’habite pas très loin, les critiques des Unilocaleurs m’avaient mis l’eau a la bouche et j’étais surexcitée a l’idée de trouver un resto jeune et sympa dans le coin … Le resto est jeune et sympa, il n’y a pas de doute ! Les serveurs sont très chaleureux et ont un petit style hypster.
Par contre, d’un point de vue culinaire, les entrées sont pas mal mais j’étais plutôt déçue par les plats et les desserts…
— Les œufs aux mouillettes de foie gras sont bons et originaux. Le foie gras n’est pas extra mais ça passé. Par contre, c’est très très lourd ! Ça pourrait être un plat.
— La burrata est bonne et très bien présentée avec de la salade et des tomates cerises servies de façon généreuse.
— Les tartares né sont pas très relevés. J’ai goûté le thaï avec de la menthe, de la citronnelle, etc qui promettait une explosion de saveurs mais s’est révélé très fade. La ratatouille est trop sucrée, c’est dommage.
— Côté dessert, le crumble est bon mais trop sucré.
Bref, ce n’est pas très concluant …

Excellent beef joint! Burgers, Steak, and Tartare are the specialities.
We enjoyed the Burrata starter– goooey mozzarella with tangy little cherry tomates and greens.
I enjoyed the filet with mushrooms and foie gras, and it was exceptional as expected. My friend had the cheeseburger. We washed it down with some Bourgogne– yum!
Great, intimate setting. Only issue was the heat of the restaurant. It was super hot inside and this detracted from the meal experience. Like a sauna hot– we left kind of drenched, all full of beef, passed on desserts. A little icky on the exit…

Les bons restos pas trop chers né sont pas vraiment fréquent dans ce quartier … Donc quand je tombe sur La Coincidence, si bien noté sur Unilocal,je décide de m’y rendre pour le déjeuner.
Le restaurant est pas très grand, mais très lumineux et très bien décoré.
La carte est simple, quelques plats, beaucoup de variétés de tartare.
Le menu du jour est plutôt intéressant: E/​P/​D avec choix unique pour 17,5e.
Je teste le tartare au saumon façon thai. Pas mal, mais la portion est vraiment pas très généreuse … En dessert, juste un fromage blanc — simple et bon.
Un restaurant selon moi plutôt classique et pas vraiment donné (le tartare est environ à 16 €). Mais malgré tout un service vraiment super agréable. La prochaine fois, je prendrais le menu qui me semble plus intéressant !

We found this place while searching Unilocal for some ratatouille, and bookmarked it. Completely by luck, we are out visiting the Trocadéro for some Eiffel Tower photos, and decided to walk over here for dinner before heading back to see the Eiffel at night (or, nighttime for Paris, which was still insanely bright with daylight outside)
This was truly a gem, and easily in the top two for our meals in France.
It’s in a tricky location, but we found it easily on foot. It’s actually conveniently in the middle of the Arc de Triomphe and Trocadéro so you can stop in between visiting the two.
The menu was all in French, but the host came up to us and patiently explained the whole menu to us in English, and didn’t seem the least bit bothered that he had just done that for another couple sitting two tables down from us.
I had the cooked salmon with ratatouille and mashed potatoes which was AMAZING. I think I had salmon every day while I was in France but this was by far the best I had. They served it with this lime-​cilantro-​tomato-​olive oil sauce that was just superb.
We ordered their dessert special, apple pie. Now, I’m not usually one for pies, since I haven’t had many growing up. Normally I don’t judge pies. But what they served us here was not pie. It was as if a basket of apples had devoured an apple orchard, that slowly fed off what was an apple pie. There was a light, flaky crust underneath all the apple, but the rest of it was some sort of spiced, baked apple heaven with a small scoop of light whipped ice cream.
We finished our meal with some coffee which they served with a piece of chocolate covered almond.
This was most definitely some of the most delicious food, friendliest service, and best dessert I have ever had, and at an extremely reasonable price.

Vraiment sympa! De la musique au patron en passant par les plats et desserts. Très international sans le côté touriste.

Unglaubliches tolles Lokal Ab jetzt ein Muss bei jedem Paris Besuch! Das Gesamtpaket hier ist einfach super, habe selten sowas erlebt und dann auch noch in Paris… einfach spitze.
Bin durch Unilocal auf das La Coincidence gestoßen. Wir wollten in eine nette Brasserie in der Nähe des Hotels gehen. Mir sind dann die Vielzahl der positiven Bewertungen aufgefallen. Die Fotos sahen eher mittelmäßig aus — wir sind dann aber trotzdem hin nach telefonischer Reservierung. Nach 2 Minuten Fußweg waren wir in der eher schäbigen Strasse angekommen. Reingekommen wurden wir sofort freundlich begrüßt und hingesetzt. Zwei junge nette Kerle schmeißen den Laden der an einem Samstag Abend voll besetzt war.
Das Interieur ist super gemütlich, schöner als es auf den Fotos rüberkam. Die ganze Karte wurde uns geduldig auf englsich übersetzt. Alles was wir bestellten war einfach toll. Foie Gras mit 2-​Muniten Bio Ei, Lachstartar, Rinderfilet mit Foie-​Gras-​Pilzsauce, Gratin und Salat sowie das Beef-​Tartar auf Thai Art. Tolle Produkte, super zubereitet zu einem sehr fairen Preis.
Der Cote-​du-​Rhone war auch lecker, genauso wie das Apéritif (Champagner & Kir) und die Digestifs.
Die Atsmosphäre war extrem angenehm. Wir sind selten so nett und gut behandelt worden. Man geht mit einem super Gefühl nach Hause und will direkt am nächste Tag wieder hin! Top!

Une bouffée d’air dans un arrondissement qui, il faut bien le dire, né regorge pas d’adresses sympas et accessibles pour dîner.
La coïncidence offre une carte variée qui conviendra à tous les goûts.
Ce restau plaira particulièrement aux amateurs de burgers car celui proposé par la Coïncidence est excellent.
Cadre confortable et cosy

Une excellente surprise dans un arrondissement qu’on dit mort.
Le service est très chaleureux et prévenant.
La décoration fait qu’on se sent à l’aise, c’est agréable pour les yeux !
Le brunch est vraiment un délice. Il est servi le samedi et le dimanche, entre 12h et 16h.
Pour 23 euros, on a une boisson chaude à volonté, un jus de fruits frais, des mini viennoiseries, le choix entre des oeufs norvégiens, benedicts ou brouillés ou une assiette anglaise (à tomber par terre) et, pour finir, des pancakes ou un fromage blanc.
Je n’ai pas encore testé la carte des repas (qui semble faite de burgers et de bagels revisités), mais ça né saurait tarder.
L’idéal pour émerger le dimanche matin en douceur !

Wow, on me met au défi de trouver un resto entre le 18e et Boulogne, à mi-​chemin si possible bien sur. OK… Allons voir dans le 16e alors (en essayant d’éviter les attrapes-​touristes beaucoup trop chers). Je repère La Coincidence grace à Unilocal (merci), je tente, ça a l’air chouette. Je n’ai absolument pas été déçu. Le cadre est super sympa, la carte est assez originale et alléchante (burgers, tartares…) et tous nos plats étaient vraiment excellents. Bön, voilà, le seul truc c’est que je n’aurai vraiment pas d’autres occasions d’y aller…

Le menu n’est certes pas très original mais il reprend avec talent les classiques actuels: tartare, cheeseburger, cheesecake. Un restaurant bien dans son époque donc, calme, confortable (demandez la meilleure table, celle tu coin avec double banquette) avec le service qui fait toute la différence, drôle, attentionné et pas trop chiant.
C’est un petit bijou égaré dans ce coin du XVIe d’habitude plus enclin aux bars tape à loeil ou pour mamies.
Gros plus.
