L’Oie qui Fume

Don’t come here if you don’t want bad service, slow service, sold out food items and hidden charges.
I really wanted to like this place but the service sucked! The good thing about this place is the Cheap $ 10 pre fix meals. We asked the server what’s good for dessert and he said crème brûlée. Beware: it’s $ 1 extra for crème brûlée that we NEVER received. It didn’t state on the menu of the extra dollar.
They hustle people to come into their store and keep you there for over an hour. By the time you get your food, they claimed they are sold out and don’t have it.
The mussels and escargot were good. It took forever to get our main entrees. The saumon pasta was very small portion. I thought it was supposed to contain a piece of salmon hence ‘saumon’ but it was some kind of white cod fish. Disappointed.
Next, it took more than forever to get our dessert. 30 minutes later, they said they do not have crème brûlée and said we had to change our dessert. Since there was a language barrier, we let them choose our dessert. We received flan.
They do not accept credit cards. Cash only. I find it very fishy when I saw another table paid by credit card. We wanted to pay euro cash anyway.
If it wasn’t for the cheap price, I would rate it a lower star review. I must admit, they hustle us good and got what they wanted. Our plan to watch a movie was ruined!

I love the prix fixe menu here!

I really cannot recommend this restaurant. We had a party of 6, which could not fit in the space upstairs, so we were put in the moldy smelling basement. The duck confit was fine, and I sampled a friend’s duck breast, which was decent, but the accompanying pommes frites were cold and the haricots vert were nothing special. It was inexpensive, but I would rather pay more for better quality.

I was initially hesitant on the 15 € 3-​course menu option, but I was pleasantly surprised! We stopped by for dinner on 2 separate occasions. Despite the low cost, the amount and quality of food was generous. My suggestion is getting the duck confit main plate, and the shrimp avocado starter. *Also get a bottle of wine too, very affordable.
Service was good, Euro dining is way more relaxed vs. the American standard. It may seem slow, but they do not want rush you out (enjoy time here even if there is a line of people waiting for a table). If you are in this busy area, this place seemed much more authentic compared to others in the immediate area.

For the price, this place gets a five-​star rating. It was a really nice place to stop in for dinner after a long day’s trek around Paris. As others have mentioned, you can get a three-​course dinner for like 13 euro. The food was, actually, quite good. I had the french onion soup, which was good. As good as I make? No, but who care’s? For the entrée, I got the steak. It was really good for the price. The sauce was super yummy. For dessert, I got the apple tart, which was really good, as well. Overall, the whole experience was outstanding for the price. Would not think twice about coming here again when in Paris. The owner was working the place that night, too, and he was super nice. Actually, everyone in Paris on my trip was nice. Who knew?

I am not even sure if this is the name of this restaurant now as they seem to hide what their real name is (this name is still
on the awning). Let me say that this was the worth food experience of my life. The place looked busy so we went in. We realized it was 10 to 15 euro prix fixe — seems good? No — you get worse than what you pay for. I’ll make this short and sweet because I don’t want to spend any more time with this place. We were there for 2 hours and only made it through the appetizer and main course. We had to leave as we felt like hostages in there and they kept telling us our desserts would arrive. The food was cheap and disgusting. The service was cheap and disgusting. This place should not be allowed in Paris.

Three course prix fixe meal for € 10 per person! We looked around and this is the best deal you can find anywhere. In the middle of a very bustling area, full of cafes and restaurants. This seemed to be the most popular.
Ratings for what we ordered:
Appetizer:
French Onion Soup: Yummy and 4* (some of the best we ate on our trip)
Salad with Lardons: Meh and 2.5 * (too rich and heavy).
Main Course:
Steak with pepper Sauce: Yummy and 4*. Just fabulous.
Chicken Normandie: Meh at 2.5. Bland and too creamy
Pasta and smoked salmon: Meh and 2.5
Dessert:
Nutella Crêpe: 3* (avoid. Get your crêpe fix at the creperie. Even the € 2 crêpe on the street corners are better)
Apple Tart: 5*. To die for. Licked the plate clean.
A meal with French onion soup, pepper steak and apple tart would be a fabulous way to fill your tummy with a delightful three course dinner at the cost of € 10!
Worth a visit if you are looking for an affordable prix fixe near the Notre Dame/​St Germaine area. They don’t rush you at all, so relax and enjoy the meal.

Un menu à 10 € Entrée-​Plat-​Dessert, même le soir, et pareil en plus prestige à 16 €, c’est vraiment donné. Mais voilà, les prix vont avec la qualité: si vous achetez des produits congelés au supermarché et que vous rajoutez quelques euros pour la table et les couverts, ça reviendra au même.
Restaurant réservé en soirée pour ³⁰⁄₄₀ personnes (on voulait un truc pas cher et pas classe pour pouvoir faire autant de bruits qu’on voulait…). Qu’on né me dise pas que la nourriture est délicieuse ou de bonne qualité, c’est FAUX ! Les tagliatelles au saumon se noient parfois dans la sauce, le camembert rôti est encore un peu dur au coeur ou alors quand il est bon, c’est les tranches de pain de mie qui l’accompagnent qui sont mal toastées. Le boeuf bourguignon est rempli de morceaux de gras gélatineux, le morceau de steak n’est pas cuit comme demandé. Bref: pour un même plat, la qualité peut varier. Il n’y a pas de plats à prendre absolument ou de plats à éviter, car c’est la qualité même de la préparation qui laisse à désirer.
Quant au service, c’est le strict minimum. Mais bon, on né s’attend pas à mieux de toutes façons.

Franchement quand on m’a annoncé un menu entrée-​plat-​dessert pour 16 €, en plein quartier Saint-​Michel et de bonne qualité, je n’y ai pas cru.
A ce prix je né m’attendais à rien d’exceptionnel et en effet, ce né l’était pas mais c’était bon et tout à fait correct pour le prix et le lieu ! Une très grande surprise et bonne découverte quand on voit les prix que pratiquent certains bistros et brasserie qui servent la même cuisine française «de base».
J’ai pu goûté le carpaccio de saumon (bien frais), la raclette (le fromage était boooon) et une crêpe au Nutella en dessert. Bref en somme ce n’est vraiment rien d’exceptionnel mais ça fait son effet ! C’est le genre de plats que l’ont pourrait très bien cuisiner chez soi mais c’est tellement peu cher que les manger au restaurant à la place né donne pas envie de pleurer lorsque l’on reçoit l’addition.
Donc j’adhère et recommanderai fortement cette adresse à quiconque visite Paris et souhaite manger bien et pour pas cher dans un quartier rempli de piège à touristes !
PS: manger une raclette en terrasse fin août à Paris, c’est juste top.

The 4.5 stars is misleading. It is 3 at best. Surrounded by some truly good french restaurants and café’s, this is something that might fit a college student’s budget and quality.
Don’t get me wrong, it was perfectly adequate for the price point but I would not recommend this place to my friends who are going to be visiting Paris.
You get what you pay for.
This is decent CHEAP eats, that’s it.
The server was «doing his job» but there was no energy or friendliness. Not helpful at all when asked about what is good or recommendation.
The desserts were «meh» at best.
If you are on a budget and need to fill your tummy, than this is the place.
If you are looking for a Paris good eats, this is not.

Had a nice dinner here on our last night in Paris. We were walking back from Luxembourg Gardens and were winding our way through the Latin Quarter streets, looking at menus as we went.
We got the last table for 4 (shortly before 7pm) and the place was constantly full, with people waiting outside, the rest of our stay.
They had 3 different menus for 10÷16÷24 Euro, each with a starter + main + dessert. 3 of us had the 16 Euro menu, and all of it was tasty and good quality.
Service was friendly and attentive. It wasn’t a leisurely meal (ie we all had to order all 3 courses right from the start), but we weren’t rushed, either.
Would recommend as a dependable, good value meal.

If you’re on a budget… this area is FILLED with restaurants advertising cheap menus. Don’t bother looking around, just go here. We tried several others and this one is hands down THE BEST cheap eats place in Paris. For 10 € our meal consisted of starter, main and dessert. Plus they give you a free glass of Kir as soon as you sit down! Major win. We ordered:
starters–
smoked salmon salad 3.5*
salad with lardon (bacon) 3*
foie gras pâté with toast 5**** AMAZING
fried squid and spring roll 3 [skip this]
main–
moules frites 4*
raclette (w/​different meats and potato) 5*
steak au poivre 3.5−4* [steak and fries were good, the sauce was just ok]
dessert–
nutella crêpe 4*
each person can choose their own options but we apparently love nutella crêpe… go figure.
Can’t stress it enough, go here! they speak English, friendly service, free wine and great food… all for 10 € !!!
you’re welcome :)

AU début, on est emballés par le rapport qualité/​prix et y allions très souvent avec mon copain.
La dernière fois, on a été très déçus, l’endroit et de plus en plus bruyant, on n’a aucune intimité, les serveurs étaient désagréables et secs (certes, l’un a essayé de se rattraper plus tard avec un faux sourire).
Nous étions très déçus, surtout d’avoir perdu ce ‘bon plan’ à Paris.
La qualité des produits diminue, à mon avis. L’entrée que j’avais eue (news et beignets) était brulée sans goût.
Et pour couronner le tout, j’ai eu une intoxication alimentaire en rentrant chez moi: s
Je déconseille!

Meilleur rapport qualité/​prix du quartier Latin! Un bon resto en bref ou meme la cuvee maison est tres bonne!
Tout y est délicieux et impeccable! Le service est très attentionné et aimable.
Enfin un endroit ou les clients sont respectés par des mets bien préparés pour lesquels les temps de cuissons sont respectés.
Nous avons adores en entrée: les beignets de calamars et les beignets de crevettes frits avec des zestes de noix de coco et la salade de tomates mozzarella.
Nous avons adores en plat: la succulente fondue aux 3 fromages, le steak grille sauce au poivre, le pave de rumsteak sauce roquefort (au basilic).
Nous avons adores en dessert;
La tarte aux pommes maison avec sa glacé a la vanille, la crème brulée, la crêpe au chocolat avec sa glacé a la vanille, l’ile flottante géante, et la mousse au chocolat si légère.
Bön appétit a tous!
