    We arrived based on a reservation, but they told us that we can't sit because the place had run out of water! And without letting us know before to make another plan !!

    Menu is basic - I booked 3 months in advance - thinking we’d get a nice table / we were squeezed in at the door. It was okay- nothing special- expected more .. would not rush back.

    Simply Awful. Very rude Staff. The worst experience you could have. In our case, first night, what a horrible first experience. Right before entering the restaurant we asked if it would be possible to have dinner in the empty terrace outside and were promptly shut with a sharp and rude NO. We had a reservation made 3 weeks prior and despite having 3/4 of the indoor part of the restaurant empty we were seated in the worst possible seat with no views. We were given the menu and rushed to order saying the kitchen was closing at 20:40. Our reservation was for 20:30 and not only were peopke having dinner but 2 local couples who entered after us were seated in much better place and could not only order after 20:40 but be served and eat. We quicly ordered and were served an onion soup that I can only describe as vomit in a plate and a steak with no salt and weird flavour. Fed up of this tourist trap we stood up and left. Not recommended at all.

    Rude server until it was time to pay! Before seating us wanted our order ready! We were waiting for 2 more but needed there order before they got there because the kitchen was going to close. But had no problem seating other guests after we had gotten our dinner and had dessert

    Service was awful. Only way of speaking to a waiter was to get up yourself and find them.

    The restaurant and the setting nearby Eiffel tower was really nice. It was also nice to watch the ferries to arrive to the harbour. The staff in general was really nice and polite - but we were not very lucky with our waiter. He was not "rude" as such, but quite ignorant and did not give us one single smile :( ... Maybe he just had a bad day...

    Waiter was nice , our wine glasses were different than everyone else's and we had ordered bottled wine not by the glass. Our glassware were tiny. We were not offered water and had to request it. The food came out minus one of our guests meals, the food was cold and overcooked. Our food was taken back to be remade, missing meal arrived simultaneously. When food came back they had just reheated it, which made the overcooked fish even worse, the steak was inedible and unable to cut. Pretty view but not a place I would recommend for food at all.

    Service was definitely not good. I guess i expected a more friendly environment but it was not. My waiter was pleasant but our service was bad, when we arrived the security guard had a really bad attitude, the host didn't see my reservation because he was only paying attention to the previous cancelled one when it clearly showed the upcoming one that i was there for. So all of that started the bad service and eventually when it got to the service they forgot to cook a plate for my father in law so he had to wait like 20 mins. Overall, i wouldn't return to this restaurant. The view from inside the boat is not the best. Also... the food was bland. I went to other restaurants around Paris that had better food. In all honesty, you are paying for "the view" not the food. I would recommend you go somewhere where you actually enjoy the food and service.

    We went for drinks and stayed for supper. The bistro burger was perfect and so were the drinks. Five stars for food , ambience and our waiter!

    The location, ambiance and food were all amazing. The service was pretty poor, we asked for jug of water 3 times during our meal and despite jugs being delivered to both tables either side of ours, that and a drink of Oringina just never arrived! Really reasonable price given it's location so didn't complain.

    Only good for drinks and a view. Steak was bland and hard. Cesar salad was drowning in dressing.

    Such a tourist trap. Service was terrible and indifferent. Food was mediocre - not hot, not cooked properly. My wife was ill within 1 hour of eating there.

    We instantly got welcomed and seated. Had the option to sit outside, which we did! Right infront of the Eiffel Tower. Got constant service and served beautiful food. 10/10 Experience for us! Thanks :)

    If you’re visiting the Eiffel Tower and looking for a convenient place nearby to grab a bite and a glass of wine, Le Bistro Parisien is a solid option. Located just steps from the tower, right by the river and the boat tour docks, it offers a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower—especially in the evening. We made an 8pm reservation and were seated promptly. The outdoor seating is quite tight, with tables very close together, so don’t expect much privacy or space. The menu is fairly limited, with only a handful of options. We ordered the salmon but were told substitutions (like swapping zucchini for mashed potatoes) weren’t possible. The burger and fries were fine, and the kids’ chicken breast and pasta with cheese sauce were okay, though our kids didn’t love them. Service was a bit slow—understandably so, as it looked like there was only one waiter handling all the outdoor tables. As for drinks, the mojito and Moscow mule were just average- presentation and flavor could be better.

    The view was amazing with the table right next to the Eiffel Tower. Can’t be beat! However, the salmon portion was so tiny and the chicken on my wife’s Cesar salad was dry and hard. I guess you pay for the view.

    We chose this restaurant because it was near the Eiffel Tower and you may have a great view of it depending on where you sit Also because it was very conveniently located steps away from our Seine river cruise. The service was good but the food was not. We ordered grilled octopus that was tiny slices sitting on a curry-flavored chickpea puree. Not my favorite flavor and so little octopus. When the steak came, we couldn’t cut into it. It just wasn’t a good piece of meat so we actually sent it back and asked for a burger instead. The burger was good (I added salt) but the chopped meat seemed to fall apart in the dish. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this place for anything more than a drink.
