Le Madeleine C

When I envisioned French dining prior to this trip, this is what I had in mind! The food was AMAZING, the wine was great, and the service was wonderful. If you are staying anywhere in the Opera House area, add this to your list!
The escargot was easily the best I’ve ever had. We also had crab stuffed ravioli as a starter that I still daydream about! Entrees were (thankfully) larger than I expected and my filet of sole was quite delicious.

Fantastic 3-​course prix fixe dinner. We ate here twice in our week-​long stay in the area. Lovely champagne, exceptional service, UNBELIEVABLE food. Highly recommended!

My husband and I were staying just around the corner from this lovely restaurant and had wondered by on our nightly walks admiring the white table clothes and moody romantic interior. When we asked our concierge for a recommendation for a nice dinner Le Madeleine C was his 1^st suggestion. We knew exactly where he was speaking of. He made reservations for us the following evening (even though I think you would be fine without them).
Our dinner reservation was for 830 and we arrived and were seated at a window table — perfect! We dined here our last night in Paris so being able to sip our wine and look out to the streets was wonderful. The waiter spoke almost no English but gave us menus in English. I had the beef tenderloin w fries and green beans and my husband had the foie gras– both we’re excellent. We started w French onion soup— ahhhh soooo delicious!!! We finished w crime brûlée and crepes w ice cream– I cannot even describe the heaven in my mouth w the crème brûlée !!! Excellent restaurant w wonderful atmosphere– very romantic — we highly recommend and the price was reasonable.

Unbelievable is the word I would use to rate this restaurant. Bunch of us came here for dinner, it was recommended to us by hotel. «Monsieur, all restaurants in Paris are excellent, but this place is exceptional»…Oui!
The day we went, the place was pretty full. A gentlemen ran the front while the lady ran the kitchen, like a well oiled machine.
Us with very little French and gentlemen with very little English, we managed to order the best things on the menu. And, they were fabulous. Foie Gras, the Escargot, the wine, the bread, everything, excellent, excellent and excellent.
My favourite dish was the truffle sauce steak. This plate was heaven. The sauce with a piece of bread, just does the trick.
I wish I had some room for the Crème Brûlée!

Wow! Just wow! I took some time in writing this review to let my thoughts simmer a bit. There are few things i yearn for and even fewer yet that I dream about after a vacation, but this place falls into both of those categories. My wife and I did a simple google search for restaurants in Paris after visiting the Galleria Lafayette and this small but wonderfully quaint restaurant with a 40’s vibe popped up. It was a complete stumble upon for both of us. We ordered Escargot to start, a steak with truffle sauce and a chocolate truffle for desert. God, I wish I could get a steak like that in the US. It was SO good we came back a second time after going to the Printemps four days later. It was the epitome of what i would now call french cuisine. The service is second to none, and even though they don’t speak a whole lot of English they will treat you like an honored guest. when you’re in the Galleria Lafayette/​Printemps neighborhood I highly recommend you stop in for a truly French experience.

This is a nice out of the way spot for dinner if you are looking for local food where locals eat. If you are tired of the touristy spots this is a great find and still close to the hotels. The atmosphere was quite (but I was eating at 7:30 which is early in Paris) playing soft American Jazz in the background. My good was great. My server spoke French and English and was willing to let me practice French but speak English when I ran out of vocabulary. The price was very fair for the quality. I have a nice steak with seafood appetizer. The wine by the glass choices were not great but fairly priced.

My first trip and second night in Paris. I had been underwhelmed with what I was discovering on my own and turned to my friends at Unilocal for help. Why aren’t more people here!!! This is truly a hidden gem.
The restaurant is small with minimal, but clean décor, but what really stands out is #1 the food and at a close #2 the service and friendly staff!
Went as a solo female diner and was seated immediately at my choice of tables. Water and menus came promptly (bottled Evian at 7Eu) along with the menu. There is a small but nice wine list that seems to change based on availabiltiy (alot of crossed out items) with reasonable prices. The menu has a nice but not overwhelming selection of classic French dishes. However, tucked in the back was another gem — a 3 course prix fixe menu with your choice of appetizer, entrée and rotating «dessert of the day». This is what I choose.
Started off with the escargot which were perfectly garlicky, seasoned and hot with a basket of sliced baugette — perfection! Followed this with the shrimp and mushroom risotto which again was wonderfully fresh and seasoned to perfection (with a healthy dose of butter to make it extra special). The dessert today was a panna cotta with fresh berry coulis that was so fresh I could practically see the hens that laid the eggs!
All this, coupled with a couple of glasses of Chablis and service that was completely attentive and friendly without being overbearing for 57 Euro — this has become a must-​stop for me and anyone I nkow visiting this part of Paris anytime soon!

Wonderful food, charming café.

Les plats sont bons. Mais le service n’est pas du tout à la hauteur du prix. On à l’impression d’être à la brasserie du coin. Le vin sur la carte n’est pas le vin servit à table… Bref pas génial comme restaurant
