    LOVELY PLACE! I have been here a few times and it has been consistently good each time. You must try the Filet de Bar de " Corse" au citron confit, riz sauvage. The fish is complemented with a buttery lightly sweet lemon sauce with wild rice. One of my favorite meals in Paris. I also recommend getting the onion soup. It is a must. For dessert we got Tarte des Demoiselles Tatin maison (Apple) witch vanilla ice cream which was also very good.

    Stumbled on this place walking by, trying to avoid jet lag . Will be a place I seek out next time I am here. First off the ambiance and setting is spectacular. Red velvet and beautiful lighting , art, and mirrors all round. The service is good , quite good. I just probably haven't adjusted to the pace here. After being seated took a while for some one to approach me , tail end waiting for my check took forever. In between service was spot on. Now for the food. Spectacular! The flavors were incredible. Had a chanrdonnay and raw oysters (#3) for appetizer. Oysters were large and tasty. I was already full. Then dinner arrived. The best steak tartare I have ever had. Ever! The potato au gratin just so flavorful and light for an au gratin. A rose to accompany was a good decision. If you are in this area, check this place out. It's a delight.

    Ordered ceasar salad and half bottle of chardonnay. The service was slow but seemed busy and understaffed. Our service staff was nice enough. You're paying for the views which was fine. We enjoyed ourselves.

    La Rotonde is a restaurant where the décor, featuring luxurious red velvet accents, beautifully captures the essence of Parisian elegance. From the moment you step in, you feel the authentic Parisian warmth that the restaurant is known for. The culinary experience at La Rotonde is consistently excellent. The Soupe à l'Oignon was a delightful starter, and the meat dishes were cooked to perfection. The goat cheese was a flavorful and creamy delight. From start to finish, every aspect of the meal at La Rotonde was superb. The service is always professional, and the staff has a remarkable attention. La Rotonde is undeniably one of my favorite places in Paris that never desappoints. A must-visit for an authentic Parisian dining experience.

    Wonderful service! I love their bread and the olives, great quality! The main dish grilled turbot on the other hand is bit bland. It is very fresh indeed but I don’t see anything special about it to justify the €50 price tag. Nothing on the cooking method or seasoning that is impressive or even a bit interesting. Nothing worth returning for

    I love this place for the true French atmosphere, outstanding service and historic brasserie interior. Always buzzing and full. Have had lunches outside and dinners inside and I prefer dining inside so to enjoy the interior and vibe. Suggestions: Foie gras, steak, fish and profiteroles

    Absolutely delightful place with rich red velvet furnishings, great serving staff and delicious food. We had one of the best coffees in Paris at this place. An excellent choice to rest and recharge while soaking up the classic Paris cafe atmosphere.

    Thought it would be safe to have steak tartare in this seemingly fine establishment. My friend and I both had separate servings of it and got violently sick for 36 hours. The flavors were excellent, the kitchen hygiene was obviously horrible. Only cooked things here if you know what's good for you. Photo is off a diner there, a famous tik-tok influencer who sells her own bath water as perfume. I guess they might cook with it, too?

    Wow! What an incredible experience! A must see place. Everyone dining when I was there looked extremely happy with the service and the food. One of the places I would go back to in France. Overall 10/10! Price is reasonable. Food is top notch. Clean! Service is very good.

    Very nice retaurant. Food is really good and prices good. I loved the decor and i had croque monsieur which was good. The waiters should be more attentive. They asked me if i wanted french fries with sandwich without mentioning it is extra charge. This is not right. Location is good too

    So great to be back after so many years and still receiving a great service and food. Special mention to Thomas, our waiter, who was extremely friendly and fun. Breakfast (French: croissant + bread + butter + marmalade + orange juice + tea - English: eggs + bread + butter + marmalade + orange juice + tea) is top notch and one of the most filling you can find around. Just what you need to start your day before exploring Paris!

    We were amazed by the quality of food, interior design and service of the stuff. The menu is pretty hard to understand because it’s most likely auto translated (I’m pretty sure that is an online translation that’s why) but the Google maps reviews with pictures always help😄 So here we go :) I would recommend everything what we have ordered. Very classic, delicious and simply amazing 😻 Over there you can see real Parisian people. If you are a gourmet person then this place is definitely for you. Highly recommended! Booking a table is recommended, because the restaurant was sooooo busy. Even though it was Wednesday

    Everything about this restaurant makes you feels like you are in iconic French restaurant. All of the details are uniquely French, and the dinning experience is just as sophisticated. We only went for déjeuner and it appeared to us that there were only two menu items American and French déjeuner. The French one is very light and it's centered around a baguette and the beverages. While the American has eggs and protein alongside your choice of bread. Overall enjoyed our experience would like to return for dinner. Very good location in Montparnasse area short walk to metro, train station, Luxembourg Gardens, theater district and more.

    We were advised by the concierge at our hotel that this was a good place to go, he wasn't wrong. Very Parisian, we had no reservation but as there were only the two of us our chances were good so off we went! Warm welcome, nice seat in a corner, so cosy and romantic. Food was very good and the service speedy and friendly. No rush we ate well and just enjoyed the evening. Would go again at the drop of a hat!

    Iconic, busy—sometimes to the point of a “crush”…but the quality stays high, the waiters competent, the red decoration invigorating rather than depressing. A place for fun.

  • 5/5 Kate M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic spot for a memorable petit déjeuner! Worth the extra few euros to sit inside such a luxurious restaurant, and the staff were very friendly and kind to our children. Oh, and the breakfast itself is delicious and beautifully presented!

  • 5/5 Michał Z. 2 years ago on Google
    High level of French cuisine. Delicious snails. Perfect sea bass. Fresh oysters. Very good waiters. Definitely must be visited in Montparnasse.

  • 5/5 Małgorzata Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Elegant and high top French restaurant with delicious dishes. We tried quite many of them: sea bass, oysters, tartare, prawns, French snails, creme brulee) and all of them were perfect and very nicely served. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Bex M. 4 months ago on Google
    We stopped in here for l' apéro after a nice refreshing walk and before dinner. It was perfect. With red velvet and highly polished mirrors, La Rotonde has style and beauty. I really loved drinking champagne out of the bulb glass :) We were only there for a short time and felt very well taken care of by the staff, thank you. We did not have any food, although the menu does look good. It was perfect and lovely. Great wine and cocktail list. Excellent service and atmosphere. If you are in around Montparnasse, give this place a try.

    Great stop for lunch. Air conditioning inside so on a hot August day it was much better than the terrace. Glad we did. Food was good and service efficient.

    Beautiful place! But see food in 16:00 didn't serve, unfortunately... We are wanted it, but.. then took onion soup - its wonderful 👍 Deserts amazing 😍

    Beautiful restaurant with great food. Extremely friendly and patient staff. Service was a little slow but good.

  • 5/5 Valéria A. 8 months ago on Google
    Very tasty food, good service (however, it is not fast when it is crowded). Price is reasonable, considering Paris prices. I would recommend the carpaccio and tartare. Very good wine selection!

  • 4/5 Araeik P. 11 months ago on Google
    The only reason that I give 4 stars to this cafe restaurant is because of the high price of its menu. Excellent service, very friendly and professional staff, excellent quality of food (of course, the amount of food was very few compared to the price). Needless to say, the atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant was also good.

    I don’t know what happened exactly, I think the old man got lost. And staff of this place took care of him: he was in blood a little and they treated his wounds, and stayed with him the whole time until an ambulance arrived. Besides rich history of this place and tasty food, they also are good people

  • 5/5 Karin K. 9 months ago on Google
    Really good quality of food. The seafood platter is fresh! and only 35 or 38 (cant remember clearly) euros.

  • 5/5 Loren G. 11 months ago on Google
    Delicious! La Rotonde was recommended by our hotel Lenox nearby and it was great. We had a light lunch, goat cheese in parchment and the best chicken Caesar I’ve ever enjoyed - super flavorful chicken. Very friendly service also. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 jerome e. 1 year ago on Google
    Always have a great fun there. Food is delicious. Staff friendly and has humour. Selection of wine great. Looks touristy to some but not to me. And it’s full of french people from the area. It’s kitch in the good way. Looks like early 19s century brasserie I guess. Really adds to the experience. Sea food is particularly delicious.

  • 5/5 michael k. 10 months ago on Google
    A classic French Brasserie with great service and excellent food preparation. The oyster selection is by far one of the best in Paris. If you love seafood and crustaceans this is the place to be. We also recommend to try the Foie Gras and the well executed main courses. The wine selection is limited to French producers, which will accommodate every wine connoisseur. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Justinas P. 2 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere was cozy and fancy. The staff was friendly. Food was absolutely fantastic! The fish with wild rice was amazing. Definitely coming back next time.

    The best restaurant in Paris, the service is excellent, the food is amazing, if you are in Paris, definitely visit this place, it’s worth it! Modigliani, Matisse, Picasso, Chagall once sat at these tables.
