Nice Bistro type restaurant. Very busy dringend lunch but staff was able to keep it in control. Food was out quite quickly despite the full house. Great bavette steak! Will definitely come back.

The food was good. Caesar salad, braised beef and chicken paillard were all delicious! I think the only issue for me was the service was slow. Everyone was super nice, i guess i’m just not accustomed to the laid back parisian service speed. Again, the food was great. I would go back for more of everything i ordered.

Quite large dish sizes, tasty but not impressed with the rib eye. However the braised beef was very good.

I tried the amazing braised beef with basil ratatouille at this cafe, and it was absolutely delicious! The espresso martini was also perfect. I highly recommend this place!

Nice meal, good vibe and great service. We really enjoyed our lunch at Cafe Poète. The pepper sauce with the bavette was wonderful. Special mention for the chocolate cake.

Hidden from the busy streets lies a restaurant with the best food and service we encountered in Paris. The beef and the chicken, especially, were Delicious. However, the desserts were not so great, but still really tasty.

Good food. Very cute space. I love anything with a poetry theme! Service was fine. A great place for lunch in this neighborhood that’s not TOO expensive.
