    We were a party of 6 for lunch and everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the chicken croquettes (specialty of Lyon) which were delicious! I tasted my sister's salmon and it was amazing. The service was exceptional.

    Previous experiences have been fantasic - this time I brought my wife for a nice Friday night date. Atmosphere and service was good, but the food was unfortunately a notch lower than expected both for the beef bourguignon and the chicken.

    Service was excellent. Food wasn’t good. Out of 11 dishes ordered 2 were really awful ( inedible) 2 were nice and the rest were not great but edible.

    We had a good dinner at Le Bistro Marboeuf. We were seated on time even though the restaurant was full. The menu is typical of a Parisian Bistrot. Service was quick and efficient

    The food is okay, but the service is awkward. Asian waiter was 'assigned' to us and another table of Korean guests, maybe because of our Asian face. He stood by us all the time, while the other waiters just avoided us, no smile, ignored our request, no 'thank you' or 'merci' at all when we left. While the other guests can definitely feel the hospitality from other waiters, we just feel like being grouped and being treated differently. This is such sarcasm when we saw how Paris presented itself as a city that embraced different cultures at the Olympics.

    I've been to Le Bistro Marbeuf back in 2018 and finally went back again on this trip to Paris and they did not disappoint! The service is on point and the food was delicious. It's conveniently located near the Champs Elysées so it's a great spot for lunch or dinner when you're in the area.

    We were late but they took us in. The leg of lamb stew and the onion soup were awesome and cooked to perfection. My husband loved the French draft and my cocktail was pretty good too. We will come back for sire!

    Very disappointed in both my food and especially the service. The food was boring and uninspired-bland and basic to say the least. The tables were so close that they needed to move two other peoples tables every time someone needed to enter/exit or use the restroom. My real frustration was with the server who started bringing out the aperitif, appetizer and wine all at the same time. Then, he put in the wrong food order so we waited for it to be corrected. By the time we were eating, he came over three times to ask if we were done when we were not. (Felt incredibly rushed) When we ordered dessert, it took much longer than anything else the entire meal. We asked for the check but he brought water instead. When he did bring the check later on he was outwardly, verbally disrespectful because we did not leave him a tip. “It is traditional in paris and you are not appreciated here.” (Note that service and gratuity were already included in the bill.)

    This was a busy bistro close to the Champs Elysees and waiter was wonderful. We ordered the Beef Bourguignon with potatoes and it was so flavorful and the portion was generous. We really enjoyed this charming bistro and would go again next time we are in Paris

    I visited after several years interval. Atmosphere was nice as it was but the dishes were not what I knew. Seems there were a lot of change. It was a bit pity.

    From the moment we walked in, the service was incredibly friendly and the bistro warm and lively. We had the Lyonnaise dishes (chicken and sausage)- they were lovely.

    The food was not bad. It just wasn’t exceptional. I expected more for a Michelin star. I also weather expected more of a the ambience. It was pretty casual.

    This clearly tourist restaurant, has decent food, and little else to recommend it. If want to be packed in like sardines and given the bums rush, then this is the restaurant for you. Charmless mediocrity where the hotel concierge gets a huge commission for making a reservation

    Lovely finish place. We had a special request for a small birthday celebration and they accommodated and offered agony chocolate cake. It was a good gesture. Loved the food here

    This is one of my go-to restaurants when I visit Paris. There is nothing terribly inventive about it, but the food is consistently good and the service is also nice. Pleasant to sit outside and eat standard bistro food as the city walks by.

    Nice neighborhood bistro. Busy but the service was unexpectedly great. The food quality was above average with the Duck and appetizers including the beef tartar and liver being the highlights . My Veal Chop was underwhelming but the Profiteroles made up for that. Special cudos to my most pleasant waitress who hustled around the crowded Bistro for us.

    This is the first lunch when we arrived at Paris. The food was ok but the waiter is not that friendly and polite. I mean he should have been better. After we’re seated for a while, there’re another Asian couple got served, and the Asian-look waiter dropped the fork by accident but without saying sorry to them and us but just a “oops”… and we noticed the boss(maybe) said something like “thank you and have a good day” to almost every western clients who left the restaurant, unfortunately we didn’t get the same hospitality. Well…

    It's really amazing! There is a super waitress! She is so friendly, good humor, and fast! Foods are delicious, we take several french traditional dishes. We will comeback here again! The price is not expensive for this district.

    Positive aspects: a few nice employees and delicious French oignon soup and crème brûlée. Negative aspects: when we arrived, they couldn’t find our reservation (which we obviously had done), but were still able to seat us. They tried to give us a glass of wine that was turned down by another client (we did not want a glass of wine that could have possibly been tried by someone else), fortunately we noticed it and some employees were very sorry, however, this is one of the most inadmissible occurrences I have ever experienced in a restaurant. Our main dishes took very, very long, we were served way later that other clients that placed their order after us. The entrecôte was very dry and tasteless and the truffle rigatoni barely tasted like truffle. The food and service were definitely not in line with the price. Would not come back and would not recommend.

    Lovely restaurant that I use a lot. A waitress spilt a coffee over my partner - shirt and trousers absolutely covered and nothing was taken off the bill. The waitress said she paid for the coffee she spilt….?? We hadn’t even drunk any of it. This, I think, is very poor.

    Restaurant did not have our FORK reservation. Not expecting us. Rude staff. Had to return 30 mins later to eat. Dreadful food. Won’t use Fork or bistro again.

    We are a family of 4 Japanese tourists. The escargot and fish dishes were excellent. Kids loved the onion soup. The most wonderful thing was the correspondence of the two male and female employees. Despite the fact that they were just the two and very busy, they treated all the customers with a smile. It was the best restaurant I have ever visited. I'm sure the owner is also a wonderful person.

    The food was tasty and quickly prepared. The ambiance of the restaurant was upbeat and fun but it was a little tight. Their special menu’s dessert was a chestnut tiramisu that was very memorable.

    It is easy to see why this place is so popular. The food is good (particularly the duck); the service is friendly and quick. There is a good wine list. We will definitely return when we’re next in Paris. Reservations recommended.

    This restaurant was a great find! I am from England and it was my first time coming to Paris and I came to this restraint with my boyfriend. We were looking for a place for lunch that does great traditional French food and this restaurant was a great fit. All round lovely atmosphere and great tasting food.

    Everything about the food was awful. The Wagyu entrecôte had nothing of Wagyu and was fried in rancid oil. The frites could have been prepared several days in advance. The tarte tatin was a much mess. Its only saving grace was a fresh salad with light and tasty dressing. The price, for the quality, very expensive.

    Great ambience. Wonderful French staple food. Incredible waitstaff made it fun. Duck was great, as was the roast chicken, beef bourgenon (sp)… would definitely come back

    Le Bistro Marbeuf is a cozy traditional French restaurant with very good service, located just off of the Champs Elysees. It is popular with tourists (which seemed to be the main clientele), which is not surprising because it is a good traditional French restaurant experience. The menu is great but food quality only average. They appear to do a high turnover and bring out the meals very quickly after they are ordered.

    Although we had a reservation on you website the owner did not have a reservation for us. Finally was able to accommodate us which was nice. Server was rushed, duck was bad, entrecôte was good and the other we had to return as it was not cooked probably. We have been before and it was great this time was not to our excitation
