Le Président

Came here for a nutella crêpe and it was ok but nothing to write home about! Nice place to chill… or sleep… I was so tired on this trip I actually crashed out here!!!

My fiancé and I arrived in Paris on Sunday evening and were excited at trying this local brasserie next to the flat we had rented. I didn’t think possible that any brasserie, let alone a brasserie in the 8^th arrondissement, would serve food that was BARELY cafeteria-​equivalent. We shared a Soupe a L’Oignon, which would have been comparable to hospital food had the crostini not been burnt and the cheese discernable; a salade chevre, which featured lettuce that you might find as a garnish; and a faux filet which was 60% gristle, 40% poorly cooked. The best items of the meal were the wine and the goat cheese on the salad — neither of which originated with the restaurant. This horrendous meal cost 60+ euros and quite frankly nearly ruined my relationship! Shame on these frenchmen!

Typisches Brasserie Essen das Fleisch Lammkotelett (kräftiger Lammgeschmack) und Entrecôte sehr gut gebraten. Absolut spitze das Eis Coupe Président !Sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service.

Just another average Parisian café. My croque-​monsieur was good, frites were average, onion soup was very cheese-​y. It seemed spendy to me, but in reality this place was probably right on par with all the other cafés.
The metro station is a block away, but the line must run directly underneath this place, since every five minutes or so, you can feel the rumbling below (like a 3.0 on the Richter scale, if I had to guess).

Another fairly non-​descript Parisian brasserie offering their EUR9 pints of Amstel with the usual disdain. Not really sure why I came here, oh yes, it was close to the hotel and still open!
