10/10We have been in Paris for 5 days and Au Bon Accueil was our favorite meal. The food is amazing and to have the view of the Eiffel Tower pushes it over the top. Best French Onion soup we've ever had.

We ended up in the area early and they got us in before our reservation. The staff was amazing and they spoke excellent English. All of the food was incredible and so tasty! Definitely coming back next time we visit Paris.

10/10The food was extremely well done. The pan fried cod was so soft and yet the skin was so crispy. The braised beef is also so soft that I didn't even need a knife. The vegetable and other ingredients that came with the dishes were all very tasty. A few years ago we came here and said we had to come again. Very happy that we were not disappointed at all.

6.5/10We had the worst service of our life here, which was unfortunate because the food and ambience was great. Our server, while friendly, was almost amazingly incompetent. -she upsold us a bottle of bottle of wine that was more than double the cost of our original order. We watched her do the same to our surrounding tables. - she came back to confirm our entree order twice over the course of an hour. she obviously did not put in our food order til the third time she confirmed our order, because it came almost 45 minutes later. She repeatedly returned to other tables to ask what they ordered -the couple next to us ordered the lamb, but she brought him steak. He asked if it was the lamb and she repeatedly argued with him that it was, even though it obviously was steak - another couple ordered a gin and tonic which took almost 45 minutes to arrive, it finally came without the tonic. she brought it to our table instead. Bill came out to be $260, and they had the nerve to ask for a tip

7.5/10Nice local restaurant with good food but BEWARE the waiter took advantage of my friends being Americans to emphasize that the service was NOT included while it is always included in France. This is unacceptable!

6/10Restaurant ambience is lacking, very bright. Food was ok, wine and bread were good. What we didn’t like was the “shakedown” when we were paying our bill. We were asked if we wanted to leave a tip…..because we were obviously Americans, as the manager/owner ? didn’t do this to the other 5 tables around us. Then he asked us to leave a review on Google. Definitely better spots to eat in the area.

10/10Pleasant staff with prompt but not rushed service. Excellent food quality and very reasonable wine list. Beautiful setting outside with Eiffel Tower as backdrop.

9/10Beautiful spot - great view of the Eiffel Tower- lovely table setting- good wine! Our only comment is we felt rushed - it appeared that turning tables was paramount - but the food was very good. Perhaps leaving the Google review scan code on the table before we were even done was part of our feeling rushed. Otherwise, wonderful!!

+1The duck starter was to dye for. The server we had was amazing with my family and I. He was very out going and a true pleasure to deal with. The Metradi/Somalia. Was abit rude and not kid friendly at all. I think if he lighted up abit it would bring them More business. The food was good but not worth the price. Also they make such beautiful plates and cover it all up with green herbs and lettuce so you can’t actually see what you are eating. Sometimes lee is more. Lastly be prepared to wait. We arrived at 6:45 and didn’t get the bill till 9. Over all not bad food but definitely room for improvement. But again the waiter we had was amazing

We found this restaurant last year in 2024. The food is amazing and the people there are amazing. We ate at this restaurant twice this week and my favorite was the French onion soup. Omg. I will eat here every time I’m in Paris. Word of advice for everyone who wants to eat here. Make a reservation. Otherwise you might be out of luck. Limited availability. Bon appetite!!!

7/10The taste and environment of the restaurant is excellent. However, one of the waiters which serve us is rude and impatient. We are new to France and unfamiliar with rule of dining (e.g. main dishes after starters), he kept being impatient and not that welcome to us, which ruins ours whole dining experience .

10/10We actually ate here twice in one week when we were visiting Paris. The food is outstanding and the service is a 10/10. We sat outside both times and had a great experience, great food and the backdrop was the Eiffel Tower. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Best French onion soup ever. Ribeye too. Going here twice during my visit. Nothing else needs to be said.

10/10The best French meal we’ve ever had! An unforgettable experience from start to finish — the food, the atmosphere, and the attention to every detail were impeccable. It truly outshone even the Eiffel Tower. Our server was warm, engaging, and attentive to every need. We could not have asked for a better dining experience, and we eagerly look forward to our next visit to this remarkable establishment!

7/10We are tourist so obviously the view of the Eiffel Tower was a draw card, it did not disappoint. Food was great however they did not have the wine nor the first choice of mains we requested. (Chardonnay and Bouillabaisse) For a Michelin Star rated restaurant, not the best.

4/10Very disappointing visit. Just awful in so many ways. The meat, both lamb and beef were so very fat-laden as to be inedible. We have eaten there 4 wonderful times...and chose it for our first night in Paris this time. What a horrible disappointment! Is there a new ownership? New chef? New management? If so, none of them know what they are doing! We were so very disappointed; we will not return to what used to be "our favorite Parisian restaurant".

We had a wonderful lunch at the terrasse with Eiffel Tower view. The food was absolutely delicious. It’s French cuisine executed perfectly by a Japanese chef. Highly recommend! We booked a dinner already!

+4I loved it so much the first time I went with a friend that when my kids came into town, I went back and took them! It is magical eating outside with the view of the Eiffel Tower. And the food is truly superb and the wait staff funny and clever, and they have very good recommendations when you can't decide what you want. Whenever I return to Paris, I will make sure I pop in for a meal here.

The staff made us feel rushed. We were finishing our dessert and then the bill was placed abruptly on the table. We had planned on ordering more drinks. The whole experience felt like we were being rushed to finish. The restaurant was half empty so I don’t know why

So many things made our dinner memorable…the view of Eiffel Tower from our table, the lovely Alexei (hope I am spelling that correctly) among others who waited on us, the chef who was so humble about his amazing food. And of course the food AND dessert. My only sadness was there was no foie gras, because the chef makes his own and they had run out...When my kids arrive I think I’ll go back again and take them there!

We managed to book a terrace table at this restaurant two days early for Fête nationale (July 14). It was perfect for watching the Eiffel Tower fireworks at 11 PM while enjoying dinner. A deposit is required when booking. The terrace seating offers a fantastic view — not too close, not too far. The food is a French-Asian fusion style that really suits Taiwanese tastes. Highly recommended!

9.5/10A gem that needs a bit of polishing... It's verges on fine dining without the unnecessary fuss. High quality food respecting the french classics with a modern twist. Staff are polite and ambience is unique. Some tuning needed... For example, giving enough time between starters and main course... Overall very good but not yet the experience of a decade ago. A slower (gradual) service and the addition of another creative starter and a modern cuisine main course can definitely boost this beautiful restaurant.

+2For lunch on our first day alone we went to the Michelin Guided restaurant Au Bon Accuirl..founded in 1870 and still going strong under a new young owner who is determined to maintain it's heritage while taking it forward in this century. In a quiet side street with the Eiffel tower keeping watch over us from an azure blue sky, what better way to celebrate the magical x and love that is Paris. We chose the three course lunch for €39 a head. Start with the French Onion soup...thick, cheesy and moreish... while my husband had ceviche of Salmon with fish eggs. Fresh, sharp and delicious. We both had the same mains...pork carra with pomme puree and ratatouille. Well cooked, light, crackling as brittle as you could wish. Superb. For dessert ..a millfoulle and tarte cirton. The millfoulle was unlike any pale British version, thick and sumptuous. The tarte...sharp smooth and light. If you are in Paris...pay a visit here..it's definitely worth it

Very disappointing experience at Au Bon Accueil. Every dish we tried was underwhelming — bland at best, some even barely edible. Service was mediocre, lacking warmth or professionalism. It seems the only reason this place gets any attention is due to its proximity to the Eiffel Tower. Overall, not worth the visit.

5.5/10The location of Au Bon Accueil is ideal when visiting the Eiffel Tower in Paris. However, the service was lacking in every respect. We might as well been in fast food restaurant, since there were so many miscues. Although TheFork showed a 4.5/5 rating, I am hard pressed to give it 3.0/5.
