    The place is beautiful, the ambiance created is perfect for great dinner time. We had our New Year's eve dinner here and the menu was delicious and perfect, all the food served was high quality and the portions were sufficient. I will be back as soon as I'm again in Paris :)

    We had to sit at the same table with strangers. They put a flower in between to create separation. As is customary in Paris, both the venue and the tables were very small and tables were very tightly spaced. The food was good.

    this was our 4th time to dine here. Actually had been our favorite restaurant in Paris. However 2 things happened that may prevent us from returning. I had seen videos where tips were concerned. They said it's not common to tip, service is included but you can leave a few Euro if you want. Also said if the waiter asks if you want to add a tip, then it's because you are American. The waiter asked me. second was paying my bill with a cc. I had watched the waiter process 4 other diners with no issue with the card reader. When it came to our time, he tried once and it didn't work with my Amex. Said they were having trouble with the machine. I offered a Visa since Amex isn't always accepted. He didn't even try. started telling me where to find an ATM down the street. Luckily I had cash. We are not "ugly Americans ", but for 180 € I felt a little targeted.

    I went full Bourgogne -- 12 snails, followed by boeuf -- and all was delectable. The incredible location and quirky charm of the place do not outshine the cuisine, equally memorable.

    Welcoming staff, rustic and warm ambiance, along with straightforward homemade food made this beef-centric meal memorable. Their mousse au chocolate is also wonderful.

    The surroundings are beautiful, with plenty of character. We received a warm welcome from the staff, who were really friendly and efficient with our order. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. We had the set menu, which gave plenty of choice, for us onion soup and bone marrow to start, followed by Bavette of steak, Beef Bourguignon, chocolate mousse and creme brûlée. All of it delicious, complements to the chefs and waiters. Fabulous.

    Did not like the seating, in a corner with an open window, and our backs to the inside. I could have insisted on other seating so that's on me. There was a poor selection for bier. I had salmon which tasted like what I make at home. The mousse was delicisous.

    The food and atmosphere at L'llot Vache is very good. This was my second time here. The first time I was with another person and this time I was on my own. My only complaint is that as a single person I was not given the same service as the tables around me. I frequently waited much longer than other people and in the end it is why I did not order dessert. I was tired of waiting. French restaurants should treat single diners with the same service.

    6.5/10

    The service as usual was amazing and ambiance and location super comfy and chill, but the food this time wasn't that great. I had the sole which was a sliver of fish that wasn't that great for the price. They didnt have the Duck confit which is what they are known for; the French onion soup had no salt or flavor and tasteless gruyer cheese; and the bone in steak meal my mom had was too tough. however the dessert was great Crepe Flambe..delish. I've had amazing dinners there before so I hope it's better when I go back.

    Our first night in Paris we ate here. It was the perfect welcome. Food was delish, but the service was warm, humorous and kind. We always tried to speak French, which I think they appreciated.

    Really nice place with a local feeling and no snobby Paris attitude, we were well received even though our party of 6 were late and missing one person. We had a delicious meal, the cote de beouf was excellent and we had delicious cheese then desserts the chocolate mousse is definitely deserving of its reputation and the crepes Suzette also good. I would definitely go back if I was in the area. Thanks for a lovely evening

    Always a fun place for dinner. Very French but speaking English is acceptable. Lots of great choices and all have been excellent so far. The chocolate mousse dessert is a must for me! Staff is very accommodating and attentive.

    It was a traditional french cuisine done well. The portions were generous without being disproportioned, a three course meal was right amount. The wine was a little overpriced, in France, one can have excellent wine without breaking the bank.
