Le Faubourg 34

The owner of the restaurant is so rude. He doesn’t show respect to customers. And onion soup is too salty. Don’t come to this place. This place will ruin your vacation. Warning!

Idéalement placé à côté de la Comédie Française, le service est rapide et agréable. Cependant, grosse déception quant au repas. J’ai pris un confit de canard (15,50 €) qui avait un goût de réchauffé et trop cuit. La chair du canard était sèche et dure… Je n’ai pas fini. Au final, je mets quand même 2 étoiles parce-​que le service était sympa, mais je né retournerai pas dans cet endroit.

Not good. Given the good rating on Unilocal and our craving for French cuisine in Paris, we decided to give this a try for dinner around 9pm on a Saturday. We ordered an onion soup, escargot, duck confit and a roast chicken. The only thing that was average was onion soup. All the others were just like any bistro I found randomly in hometown. The server missed our side orders. On top of it, the sides came wrong. Not only thay, when one of the side dish was n/​a, instead of asking us what we would like instead, a side was selected by the server. Anwyays, definitely not a good experience.

This place was right by our Airbnb, and it was a total lifesaver. We came to grub on our first night in town, and everyone enjoyed their food. I had the duck confit, which came with the most delicious potato gratin and mixed greens. The meat fell off the bone and was such a good, stick-​to-​your-​ribs meal after a long flight. My friends ordered steak, which came topped with a big hunk of foie gras. While it was good, the steak came out incredibly rare, despite them ordering it medium well. We were too scared to send it back, so they had to take the steak to go and cook it more at our apartment.
Still, I came here a handful of times during my stay in Paris and had great service and coffee. They never rushed us, and it’s a perfect spot to sit outside and people watch. Very affordable too!

Awesome green beans! I also had the chicken and fries. The gravy sauce reminded me of gravy on turkey back in the States, but I needed it because the chicken was a little dry, although still good. Great portion size. WiFi granted.

This was the first French food restaurant visited, so it was the start of my journey to French food within the country. We stumbled upon this place while walking the streets, were desperately hungry, and since it looked popular enough, we entered.
The service was okay… long time for them to take orders, takes a while for food to arrive, any additional things you ask for is also a delayed response (be it water, food, or condiments). While unfortunately, the next table that spoke fluent French seemed to get a much quicker and smoother service. I mean, we’re talking, the waitress exchanging laughs, smiles, and jokes with them, and getting their food and whatever they asked for at the snap of a finger. Well, gotta blame myself for not being able to speak the language, right?
Also, I thought it was strange that I when I asked her if they had mussels and fries (since the guy sitting at the table RIGHT next to me was eating it), the waitress first responded that they didn’t have such a dish available. Then, after a pause, she saw the guy eating it in the corner of her eye, and realized that YES, this dish IS in fact available at the restaurant. So, she proceeded to take my order. Dude, really? The guy is like RIGHT THERE next to me shoving his face with mussels with a gigantic pot that’s the size of his face in front of him, and she couldn’t remember that they didn’t have this dish.
French Onion Soup– 2 stars. I’ve had better definitely in many other places. The broth was not that great. I wasn’t impressed at all.
Mussels in sauce with fries– 3 stars. I thought this was good, until later, I tried the same dish at 3 other restaurants, and realized that this dish was actually just O-​kay.
The serving of mussels were half portion of other places, and the price was double for this dish at this restaurant (in retrospect) compared to other restaurants.
Rib-​eye stake with salad– 4.7 stars. This dish was near damn perfect. That rib-​eye was juicy, fatty, flavorful, and delicious. The salad that came with it was also very good. I think it still stands out as a delicious steak.
We had to actually ask for bread, while I believe normally bread comes out when you order food, or at the latest, when your dishes arrive.
I’d come back for the steak mayyyyybe, and try some other dishes. Have I had better? Absolutely.
I’m giving 3 stars since food was OK and service was questionable.

For days we stumbled around Paris trying to find a restaurant that was allergy «safe,» good quality, and kid friendly (with healthy food options and not Americanized food).
I have to say that when we stumbled on Le Faubourg 34 it was like finding a needle in a haystack. This is a great «staple» restaurant, that’s open reasonable hours, with GOOD French food that a semi-​adventurous 10-​year old will eat, and a place where a person with celiacs can try a variety of different options.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the prices decent, and the staff really friendly and un-​pretentious. Over the course of a couple of weeks, we tried just about everything on the menu and kept coming back for more!
Le Faubourg 34 saved our Paris trip. This was a great discovery.

Mmmmm what a great find. Lots of good things on the menu it was really hard to pick what I wanted. Service was good and I was happy with the starter and main that I selected. I will add this place for sure to my list of go to restaurants for the next time that I am in Paris.

As a yank, this is a great restaurant to get my feet wet in French cuisine. They’ve got some dishes any American would enjoy, like burgers, as well as more traditional dishes that split the clientele between visitors and locals.
The appetizers were delicious. The foie gras was executed better here than at any place I’ve been to in France. My appetizer, the camembert, walnuts, and smoked ham on toast, was perfect. I was satisfied from the beginning.
For the main course, we had burgers with a twist: The bread was replaced by what I can readily describe as potato cakes. Amazing with the mustard.
You can’t go wrong with any dessert, and the cocktail menu alone makes Faubourg look like a great stop for just having a drink. Prices were also very reasonable. You can easily walk out having spent less than 30 Euro. Because of the great service, and accessibility for even the most discerning of diners, I’ve gotta recommend this to the rest of you.

Very good for the price and nice setting (small lively space on nice quite narrow street). Had the confeit de canard and my Gf had magret de canard and both were very good. Nothing was amazing but it was all good.

Le Faubourg 34 is a solid café in this busy area of town. The Auvergnat platter is generous with salty charcuterie and gorgeous cheese fighting for your attention. I didn’t have dinner but the traditional French food looked and smelled hummers. There is a good mix of Parisians and tourists. The service is professional and I noticed that the wait staff was very helpful with foreign customers (sadly not the case everywhere). A nice little find — I’d happily stop by again the next time I’m in that neck of the woods.

notre serveur, Julie, était fantastique. elle parlait un anglais excellent et compris notre français facile. sa recommandation de vin était parfait.
nous avons eu le steak tartare et c’était merveilleux. pas trop cuit du tout! :)

We stumbled upon Le Faubourg 34 when we were walking through the neighborhood, the café is set off the busy Rue Richelieu and a lot less hectic then the man through fare. The atmosphere is more of a relaxed bistro, small tables set close together, the locals lazily inhaled their cigarettes and took their time sipping there beer. It was the quintessential vision of what I expected a French café to be.
The waiter was friendly and made great recommendations on some bites to eat. Again, the service was typical French style, slow and relaxed, so I can’t complain that it wasn’t as quick as we were normally used to back in the states.
I daringly tried the frog legs for the very first time, it was a starter plate but it had a nice portion of frog legs and a small side salad! The frogs tasted like a flaky white fish which was really delicious. my husband really wanted the mozzarella sticks, but was quickly disappointed when they came out a little ‘waxy’ was his description. The Leffe beer was plentiful and relatively cheap for a pint, so he had a couple of rounds. I had the caramel French toast dessert which was a combination of sweet and salty. All in all, a great find for us to stop and rest from our long day of sightseeing.
Another bonus was that there was free wifi!

Guter Service, lecker Essen, gute Getränkeauswahl und das Alles zu vertretbaren Preisen!
Was will man mehr

Sympa, agréable. Petit bistro parisien où faire une pause bienvenue. A noter la réunion ce jour d’un groupe d’Irlandais en train de suivre un match de rugby en direct. Prix corrects. Bref un bon classique! :)

Vrai petit bistrot parisien de quartier avec un service convivial et rapide. Il est sans prétention. La carte est classique, les plats sont sans erreur d’exécution et le tout à un prix tout à fait raisonnable.

bien placé dans un quartier agréable ou les artistes se promènent à leur grés!
