Le Drop Café

Une vraie petite brasserie de quartier à l’ancienne, simple et abordable, comme on en trouve trop peu dans le 7me arrondissement.
La carte est on né peut plus classique: croques, salade et omelettes pour la partie «buffet», et une bonne selection de plats très traditionnels de la brasserie parisienne pour la partie resto: andouillette, tartare, blanquette, …Je choisi la salade du jour d’inspiration italienne: tomate, mozzarella, jambon de Parme et melon. Rien de très original donc, pas de la grande cuisine non plus, mais des grands classiques qui marchent toujours et qui sont servis plutôt généreusement.
Mais le vrai plus de cette brasserie c’est l’accueil et le prix. On retrouve l’ambiance bonne franquette du repaire de quartier où les habitués discutent le coup avec le patron accordés au comptoir, on est servi rapidement, les serveurs sont aimables et souriant, engageants même, ça fait toujours plaisir.
Et le rapport/​quantité/​qualité prix est imbattable dans le quartier: 13 € la salade bien garnie (9 € pour la salade la plus simple), c’est le porte feuille qui est content ! Parfait pour une pause déj rapide et sympa.

Don’t order the steak with pepper sauce!!!
It’s more like shoe leather with pepper sauce.

Easy to find from Musee d’Orsay. Service was excellent and food was even better. Ordered the Madame croque based on previous reviews. Highly recommend the au pain Poilane. It was excellent. Thanks Unilocal reviewers for sending us to the right places!

Excellent service, cool toilettes, French teaching waitress. If I worked or lived near here this would be my after work stop!

We found this place by chance and hope to come back in our stay in Paris. The Porc au Toscane was mouthwatering; we found ourselves liking the juices from our plates. The other plates looked pretty incredible as well. Despite how busy it was, the service was quick.

Excellent Poulet roti and steak tartare. Great service too! Not expensive. Go here!

If it were up to just me I would give this four stars based on my meal and the friendly service, but the disappointing salade nicoise my wife had drops it down to a three.
We found this place thanks to fellow Unilocal users — we are spending a week in the neighborhood and a search of local restaurants showed this as a promising place to eat.
Based on one person’s comment I ordered the Croque Madame — I don’t know if I would agree that it’s the best in France, but it was darned good, as were the tasty frites which were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside — perfect. My wife’s salad was large, with plenty of everything that should go on a nicoise, but a flavorless dressing and what seemed like canned black olives just didn’t make the grade. We topped it off with a bottle of Sancerre and it was a great way to relax after a long day of fighting the crowds at Versailles.
Also accurate were fellow Unilocalers comments that it is a local crowd — we were the only tourists in the place. It was happy hour and most of the crowd appeared to be locals in for a beer or a coffee. The two bartenders took great care of us and laughed along with us (not at us) as we slaughtered the language with our French not used in 20 years.
Décor is nothing special, just a bar and some tables along the wall, but I would recommend it — just don’t get a salad and we’ll call it four stars.

It may not look like much, but this is a great café and outside the main tourist areas.
Though the menu also has descriptions in English, everyone here were locals, not a single tourist in sight. We sat inside to avoid the heavy smoking Parisians sitting outside. Our nice waiter barely spoke a word of English, but he was very helpful.
€ 10 Croque Madame… best Croque Madame in all of France!
€ 14 Ribeye steak and Frites… simple but delicious!
€ 18 Bottle of wine… great!
It was Day 3 for us in Paris, but this was first «good» French meal! We were just sad it was a long walk from our apartment, but its fairly close to the D’Orsay Museum.

On a mini vacay to Paris by myself and visiting Musee D’Orsay. I wandered into this café and sat down quickly. The waiter/​server was a latin man who was very friendly and asked where I was from. He was inquisitive and asked me where I was from and who I was with. I told him I was alone in the city, exploring. He was one of the first people on my trip that I actually could have an English conversation with, so it felt very comforting.
I saw the chef prepare Beef Tartare and had no idea what it was– but decided to try it anyway. I ordered the Beef Tartare and the waiter warned me that it was raw. He thought I made a mistake. But, I wanted to try it anyway. When he brought it out I was so excited. After my first bite– my mind was seriously blown. I never knew I’d be able to like raw beef. Ever since then, almost every café I went to, I ordered the beef tar tare.
At the end of my meal, he invited me to his band’s salsa club with Flamenco dancing, which again was a very sweet gesture.
Thanks, Le Drop café for opening up a whole other world of cuisine I may have never known about.

We were looking for lunch after out trip to Musee D’Orsay, and wandered into Le Drop. It was around 1pm and the place was nearly full. Seemed to be a very local crowd, but the waitstaff was kind about our deeply limited French.
We each ordered items from the «salad» section. Mine was a very good and very huge vegetarian salad — delicious. My husband’s beef salad was also good. But we did get a kick out of the fact that it was really steak frites with side salad rather than a really salady salad. Anyway, they both hit the spot, and the espressos we ordered were great too. Perfect fuel between Orsay and Cluny!

Basically on this trip we were looking for any café that had a cheap carafe of wine in between visiting museums haha. Despite being close to a touristy area they had the cheapest.
The usual café fair. Cold salads and meat and cold meat salads.
The décor was weird kind of american diner-​ish style? lots of old adverts and kitsch. Not TGIF amounts but still.
If I was in the area again and in need of a rest and a carafe, then I’ll come back.

After spending some time at Musee Rodin, I dropped by Le Drop Café for a latte break.
The café was relatively empty but had a few regulars talking with bartenders. It is on a small street that feels a bit isolated but still close to Musee d’Orsay.
We sat inside to rest our feet and to get away from the cigarette smoke (I’m allergic to it). The latte was delicious and I loved being able to people-​watch from the where we sat.

Une excellente brasserie
Un super rapport qualité prix, notamment sur les pièces de viande (aux garnitures très respectables) et les grandes salades. En plus il né vous assassine sur le prix du vin. Une des meilleures tables pour celles et ceux qui bossent dans ce 7ème arrondissement d’habitude si cher. Super ambiance le midi !

Une bonne petite brasserie avec un très bon accueil…
On a passé une très bonne soirée au Drop Café. On a un bon rapport qualité prix dans un quartier où les prix sont en général beaucoup plus élevés… une grande variété de salades et de bons desserts ! Pour couronner le tout: un super accueil du patron qui nous a servi avec le sourire, la bonne humeur et qui était à nos petits soins ! Rien à redire…

Pour manger non, meme si c’est la brasserie la plus abordable du quartier
L’etablissement est sympatique dans son design et son air vieux bistrot parisien, c’est egalement moins cher que les brasseries autours, mais… Service mauvais et mauvaise préparation des plats, et non respect de la commande… je pense que ce jour la, le serveur était plutot fatigué, mais ma remarque sur le service né l’a pas ému plus que cela, je vous laisse juger.

In Paris for a week. Came here on last day wanting authentic Parisian café food (coffee, dessert) and was not disappointed. Delicious coffee and dessert. Dessert was a pear tart and the best we had all week. Best I’ve ever had, actually. I definitely recommend!
