Terminus Café

Une brasserie faussement cossue.
Rien à dire sur l’endroit qui est très classe. En revanche pour une brasserie parisienne le rapport qualité-​prix n’y est pas.
L’entrecôte est tellement fine que même en la demandant saignante on nous la sert à point. La sauce est fade et les frites n’ont rien d’exceptionnel. Le tout accompagné d’une entrée ridiculement petite pour un menu à 30 €.
On né paye que le prestige du lieu mais on peut manger beaucoup mieux ailleurs pour le même prix.

Nous avions l’habitude d’organiser de nombreux déjeuners d’affaires dans cette brasserie, en particulier lorsque nous recevions des étrangers
Le charme de la brasserie haussmanienne allié à la finesse des plats, avec en plus un bon rapport qualité prix, tout cela faisait du terminus l’une de nos tables préférées…
Aujourd’hui c’était tout autre chose…
La carte a été revisitée par un chef visiblement en manqué d’inspiration pour nous servir le sempiternel burger en plus des plats brasserie…
Le magret de canard et sa poêlée de champignons qui n’étaient ni plus ni moins que des champignons de Paris, la carte des desserts d’une tristesse affligeante avec un millefeuille aux framboises horriblement gras…
Quand au service, au se demande si les serveurs ont fait l’ecole hôtelière, tant les oublis sont fréquents…
En réglant ma note, plutôt salée pour le coup, je fais part de mes impressions à la serveuse qui m’explique que «les nouveaux propriétaires de l’hôtel souhaitent orienter le restaurant vers une clientèle touristique», le chef pâtissier a donc changé et le chef est sur le départ…
Bref, pas sûre que les touristes affluent…
En tout cas, le terminus café né nous reverra plus !!! Il y a pléthore de tables dans le quartier qui valent le passage.

Went in there on a Friday evening, around 7:30, so a bit early for dinner by French standards. Immediately seated, offered wine and bread and a complementary soup/​foam taster. The food itself was fantastic (had foie gras for starter and pork medallion with blood sausage for main. Dessert was a papaya/​mango/​passion fruit cake/​sorbet/​cream delight), particularly when you consider that the prices of the 3 course meal is under € 40.
The amazing food, coupled with great ambience and service, made for an overall fantastic way to finish off a busy work trip.

We visited the Terminus Café after reading a previous Unilocal review and were not disappointed. The menu was not extensive but adequate. We chose the meal in three acts. The initial Spring Vegetable Medley was amazing, I’ve never been so happy with vegetables in my life… and it was over all too soon. My main course was the poulet with asparagus, potatoes and other greens… again great and for desert we had a praline topped with chocolate mouse and a sliver of gold leaf. The service was attentive and the meal was well presented. Thanks Unilocal

The restaurant is spacious and brightly lit. As it is very glamorous, I had high expectations for the food. I ordered the Winter Vegetable Mix for an appetizer and was delighted with how fresh and beautifully presented it was. For the main course, I enjoyed the Scallops with Potato Gnocchi with grated Truffles. It was absolutely delicious. For dessert I had the Opera Cake and by the end of the meal, I couldn’t walk. Everything was savory and done to perfection.
Service was friendly and extremely classy.
I would recommend Terminus Café for a romantic date or if you’re entertaining a client!

We were very pleasantly surprisedby our meal here. After a long, cold, rainy day visiting Normandy this was near the train station and we were tired and hungry. On first glance, I wasn’t too excited, thinking it was one of those places that probably only had business due to its proximity to the train station. Luckily, I was wrong!
This was our first «real» (aka non brasserie/​café) dinner in Paris so far. The amuse bouche was a lovely pumpkin soup that was very buttery rich. I ordered just the fish entrée followed by the opera cake — both of which were delicious, rich, and ended the long day on a fabulous note. Service and prices were great and we left pleasantly stuffed.

2 of the best meals we have ever had!!! My husband and I came here on our honeymoon and we were sooooo tired after flying from the US and being up for 30 hours straight. This restaurant was connected to our hotel so we decided to give it a try. It surpassed our expectations! This was my husband’s first time to France and he said it was the best meal of his life. We had the jamon and artichoke sauce ravioli as an appetizer and I was one of the best things I ever put in my mouth. For our plat I had the beef check and potato pie which was excellent!!! Chuck had the fish with a butter sauce and creamed celery root. SOoooooo good!!! For dessert I had the pumpkin and vanilla millefeuille which was superb and Chuck had the cannolis. YUM!!! Great service and great prices. About 120 euros with app, entrée, dessert and a bottle of wine and water.

I would have given it less if I could. Food was terrible, service was slow and it is not worth the price. Good wine list

My first dinner in Paris was at Le Terminus and it set a standard for the rest of my trip. This meal was nothing short of fabulous. Located a short walk from the Louvre across the Seine, Le Terminus is a charming little café serving up traditional French cuisine. I got a lovely rosé wine that smelled like perfume, and tasted fruity and florally too. For my entrée I ordered thick cut salmon with Jasmine rice and light and buttery cream sauce. It was melt in your mouth good. The salmon was perfectly flaky and paired perfectly with the sauce and wine. My friend ordered the undercut of beet with caramelized onions and homemade French fries. Our server was very proud of his homemade fries and with good reason, they were unlike any fries I have tasted. For dessert we all split a perfectly caramelized crème brulee. We thought that since we were in Paris that was the only proper thing to do! The entire meal made our first night in Paris truly memorable.

Dans un décor furieusement 19e siècle, le Terminus Café est le restaurant de l’immanquable hôtel Concorde Saint Lazare, le luxueux palace attenant à la gare du même nom.
Ici, on opte pour une cuisine française et contemporaine à la fois. Le chef Guy Pommelet renouvelle chaque jour sa carte pour le plaisir des gourmets du quartier: hôtes de l’hôtel (parfois illustres) et, le plus souvent, businessman… Si vous voulez y organiser un dîner avec votre moitié, alors choisissez le soir de préférence.
Niveau prix, la qualité a un prix, et vous pouvez facilement compter sur une cinquantaine d’euros pour un repas entier, vin compris.

A nice restaurant, if a little pricey. I had the menu with the mushrooms for a starter and the rumsteck and it was quite tasty indeed. The mushrooms were served on a bed of greens with a few pieces of salty crispy bacon on top and a slightly sweet dark sauce artfully painted on the side. The meat was very tender for a rump steak and cooked quite well. I’m lactose intolerant and they made sure there were no milk products in my dish — something other restaurants often claim they will do and then ignore, causing issues when I’m safely long gone from the restaurant.
The wine we wanted wasn’t available, so they recommended another one which turned out to be very good indeed. The service was great, the ambiance was nice (although a little hoity-​toity), and the food was delectable. If you’re willing to spend over 30 euros per person, this is a fine choice.

Attention ! Changement
La salle est toujours la même. Le service et l’ambiance aussi. Le chef a changé la carte, les prix aussi. En gros +45% ! Alors pour moi, le rapport qualité/​prix que je notais à 5 tombe à 1.

La formule
Une trés belle surprise dans ce quartier où on né trouve que brasseries ou restaurants hors de prix. Une formule tout compris abordable (coupe de champagne, entrée, plat, dessert et vin) La nourriture est inventive et les produits sont de très belle qualité. Le cadre est feutré, le service discret ou alors très complice. Le soir à la sortie du train, cela fait un bien fou. Une petite astuce, si vous voulez un digestif, demandez à prendre votre verre et aller vous installer dans le hall de l’hôtel dans des fauteuils confortables sous les arcades magnifiquement travaillées. Un délice…

Très bonne surprise
Un service attentionné, discret, classe, comme on n’en trouve plus sauf à payer des fortunes. Une ambiance feutrée, reposante. Cela compte au moins autant que la qualité du repas par ailleurs très bonne. Rien à dire, un très bon moment…

Encore un bon restaurant d’hôtel ! idéal pour un rendez-​vous d’affaires
Un restaurant café/​brasserie découvert lors d’un déjeuner d’affaires. Restaurant du sublime et historique hôtel Concorde St Lazare, le Café Terminus propose une «nouvelle» cuisine savoureuse et inventive mêlée de cuisine traditionnelle. A essayer: Brochette de homard et Gambas, Dos de Loup et lentilles aux fruits de mer ainsi qu’un ananas rôti au gingembre délicieux. Il est vrai que les prix sont exorbitants, mais pour un déjeuner d’affaires c’est parfait !
