Restaurants near Jardin des Plantes

We absolutely loved our evening with Chez Loulou. We received the warmest welcome on arrival and a fantastic table in the window. The food was amazing, from my youngest son’s Provençal pasta to my eldest son’s tagine. The live jazz soirée just put the icing on the cake. Highly recommended to everyone for a real treat in the Beaubourg district of Paris.

We truly enjoyed this lovely restaurant with delicious food and very kind and helpful service!!

Cute and atmospheric delivering on the Paris promise

A pleasant spot with a great location The restaurant has a lovely location directly opposite Notre-Dame and is easy to reach both by public transport and on foot. Situated on a corner, it also provides easy access to picturesque little streets with plenty to see and explore. It is a great place to combine with a stroll around the area before or after your meal. We had originally considered sitting outside, but at our own request we were moved to the quieter, non-smoking interior. Our table still had a view outside, although unfortunately it was partly blocked by full bicycle racks. On the other hand, we were lucky enough to enjoy a beautiful red sunset, which more than made up for the limited view. The service was very attentive, courteous, and exceptionally friendly. The menu is relatively small, but offers enough choice for a pleasant meal. The waiting times for both the starters and main courses were perfectly reasonable. The food was good, although not quite exceptional. Considering the central location in Paris, the prices were reasonable and in line with what you would normally expect in this part of the city. Overall, a pleasant restaurant with a fantastic location, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere — especially convenient if you want to combine your meal with some sightseeing and a stroll around Notre-Dame.

Sat on the terrace, which was on a quiet street and allowed us lovely views of the sky and sunset. Enjoyed an amuse bouche, tasty meals and classic desserts.
