Eric DallemagneJanuary 1, 2017La Fontaine de Mars is one of the oldest traditional brasseries in Paris since 1908. Exceptional cuisine most notably : the foie gras, the duck confit, and the cassoulet. Highly recommended!

Constance | @croostifoodiSeptember 3, 2018Very good and well executed traditional French dishes - don’t bother ordering salads or whatever not traditional. Black pudding (boudin noir) with apples is divine. Cosy terrace in a courtyard.

Kursad AlbayraktarogluJuly 7, 2020Great restaurant, usually pretty crowded due to its proximity to the tower. Mostly French cuisine, excellent desserts.UpvoteDownvote- 148 Check us out!November 23, 2014Pricey but service like that is hard to find in Paris. Kindness and attention.

Derrick GOctober 3, 2010Made a reservation at 3:00pm on Sunday.. Showed up at 3:05pm. Walking from The tower, On our honeymoon. They refused to seat us. Said last call was at 3:00pm. Very Rude.UpvoteDownvote

"Everything was good! They're famous for their souffles (savoury and sweet). We liked the crab & crayfish souffle and the frogs legs. It's on the permanent list for Paris."
