After being in Paris for only a few days, I was already missing my daily salads. It was strange to be eating so much(delicious) bread! I ordered the Faubourg salad without acknowledging the price and was just happy to eat vegetables again! The salad was a decent size and all of the ingredients worked really well with one another: tomato, cheese, egg, prosciutto, potatoes with a mustard dressing. I enjoyed it because it was a change of pace from the regular ham and cheese baguette, but regretted the purchase after realizing how much it was(12 euros or around $ 17). Our waitress was kind and patient, which made for a pleasant dining experience. However, a few friends who ordered sandwiches were unable to finish both halves and wanted to-go bags instead of wasting the food. Even though it is a known fact that the French do not take things home, we were reluctant to leave food behind. One of the girls asked the guy behind the bar for to-go bags and he sighed heavily and practically rolled his eyes. It was slightly shocking and frustrating at the same time that someone would react so strongly to a simple request. It gave me a sense of how different customer service is in different countries since the tips are usually included in the price of the food. It definitely made me appreciate the American culture of «the customer is always right.» If it wasn’t for our kind waitress I would have definitely given this place 3 stars.

couldn’t help but go here after getting in late from iceland. plenty of local people with sprinkling of tourists. good service from the two gentlemen manning the bar. had a pan seared fresh ground ribeye patty(think french take on salisbury steak) served with in house handcut fries and small mayo dressed spring mix salad(mix greens, small diced tomatos and shallots). our starter was a country style pâté w/also the same salad on a smaller scale, minus shallots, with 1 large cornichon and two pieces of toast alongside with onion thyme confit. two baskets of ficelle sized baguettes sliced fresh were offered with our meal. very relaxing after long flight, especially w/kir royale, made of nicolas feuillante champagne. *there is happy hour from 5−7pm, hope to try it soon. bon service, plats cuisiné avec vitesse, repas au style leger. terrine campagne est mon starter favori. ici, c’est super! il est donner a/p’t salade composée.

Je né suis pas peu fier d’avoir trouvé l’un des cafés le moins cher de la capitale ! En effet, au «Faubourg«, le petit noir est à 0,95 € ! Un vrai miracle, merci la baisse de la TVA ! C’est tellement inhabituel que la direction l’a carrément peint sur l’un des vitrines de l’endroit(voir photos). Et il faut bien reconnaître que lorsque les clients demandent la note, tout le monde est surpris. Cela dit, on a tendance à laisser les 0,05 € de monnaie en pourboire… En revanche, mis à part cette petite singularité, le «Faubourg«est un bar-brasserie de passage, à l’angle de l’avenue Ledru-Rollin et du faubourg Saint-Antoine, qui né présente pas plus d’intérêt que ça. Typiquement parisien, l’endroit se veut surtout un lieu où l’on s’arrête quelques minutes boire un café, ou une bière au moment de l’happy hour de 17h à 21h. Et dans l’assiette, c’est aussi du classique: du hot-dog à l’entrecôte.
