"I came across this restaurant after visiting Jardin du Luxembourg as it just across the street from the Gardens. This is an authentic French bistro in a high-end location. The decoration is beautiful and I loved the decoration. The atmosphere was great with good music! I had the onion soup, steak frites and coeur fondant chocolat for dessert. the food was delicious and the service impeccable. Both the waiter and the owner were very attentive and polite. I highly recommend this place!"

"Had an amazing French onion soup and a portion of snails. Food is delicious and the staff is extremely friendly! Server was so kind and helpful, we enjoyed our time at the restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely, prices reasonable. Also, Aperol spritz was one of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place!"

"This place was so cute it caught our attention! We had never heard about it but we stopped and ate there. Our waitress, Reza, was incredibly kind and so attentive. I believe the owner was there too and he was also very attentive. The food was amazing, I had a steak which was one of the best I’ve ever had. The complimentary bread was DELICIOUS. The food came out very quick and the orange juice was also great. We loved it! The street view was also great."

"This restaurant is right across from Luxembourg Park. It’s a nice place to step into for a break and a drink while watching people stroll by outside. I ordered a mocktail called the Virgin Colada—a blend of coconut milk, cream, and a few other ingredients I couldn’t quite identify, but it tasted unique."

"Me and my wife stumbled across this place when we were headed to the Luxembourg Gardens and we decided to give it a try. And we were not disappointed at all! The service was friendly and swift, and the food was amazing. We ordered escargots which were very tasty and the baguette was fresh, as well as duck which was very tender. We also tried creme brulee, which was ok, but not wow. The atmosphere is very relaxing. We definitely recommend it!"

"Leni and I dropped into Le Cercle Luxembourg thinking we’d have one drink. Well… her margaritas had other plans. My old fashioneds too. Let’s just say the night escalated in the best possible way. The atmosphere was lively without trying too hard, the service was quick, and — surprisingly — the olives were ridiculously good. Like, “why are these so good?” good. Great drinks, great vibe, great little corner of Paris. If you’re wandering around the 5th, this place is absolutely worth a stop."
