    Average french cuisine, good ingredients but not at the standard of the full prices on the menu. The venue would need some modernisation

    So we got there early enough so that we had the restaurant to ourselves. The two waiters on staff were fun and attentive. We even had to learn what scallops were together (St Jacques I think?) which was hilarious. The food was delicious of course. I had Beef cheeks that were rich and my wife had Lamb Shank roasted with honey and we both loved the other ones plates more. The homemade duck foie grois we had for our first time was paired with fresh bread. It made us want to try it again. But I’m still not sure if I like it (we did bring some back from our trip though) Our bill definitely reflected how much fun we had and I would love to go again.

    Booked easily via Fork with 40% off. We got the fish of the day (salmon) + duck tataki. Both were quite nice but not mind blowing. Both came with the same sides (sweet potato mash and assortment of vegetables).

    The food was delicious, but it was the service that stood out the most! Our server was attentive and personable. Someone in my group left their glasses and she even called me right when I left to let me know! Above and beyond.

    Charlie was an exceptional host and made our visit to Le Bossu memorable! If you’re looking for a truly French dining experience with exceptional food, look no further. We were a group of five and ate several dishes. Every one of them was outstanding.

    This restaurant has an interesting menu. I tried the duck tataki and the fusion of Japan and Aveyron works great in my opinion. The side dish was good also. Unfortunately the decoration lacks character and charm. A remodel or simply having table cloths and linen instead of paper napkins would justify the rather expensive price (if no discount offer selected). That being said the discount offer is great so is the staff who was super friendly.

    The food was great, the staff was friendly, it is a real nice little gem in Paris. There is not much choice, but what they have, they really do well. It was a pleasure being there.

    Prawns with strawberry, radish, blueberry, balsamic.. ???? Duck confit should have crispy skin.. friendly staff but food far below standards of other bistros we visited in Paris.

    Our meal at Bossu was simply delightful. It's a small nicely appointed restaurant on Ile St. Louis. My wife and I shared the best escargot we'd ever had. When we told our server that, she brought us four more "on her." The rest of our dinner didn't disappoint -- beef bourguignon was sumptuous, and my wife'sea bass was amazing with a light sweet potato puree. Our server, Mourine?, was fun and charming. Highly recommend.

    Pros: the food was good and in the discount offered was great. Our waitress was very helpful and pleasant and spoke English and was able to translate the menu for us. We speak a little French but couldn’t translate everything ourselves. We would’ve used our phones, but we were seated downstairs where there is no cell phone service. Cons: the pictures of the tables and ambience you see online are of their upstairs level. It looks very nice and upscale. But we were placed downstairs where it cold, a little smelly, and had odd mismatched decor. Our booth was also very snug. There were some charming parts of the other room downstairs but it was not the restaurant ambience we were looking for on our last night in Paris. If you’re looking for the classy atmosphere in the pictures ask for a table upstairs.

    Very good food quality, seems a real restaurant rather than a bistrot. Attentive service, but no eau plate and no decaf coffee. Would recommend

    Pay no attention to the sign advertising the (really quite good!) ice creams and sorbets, great food is the real star of the show here, and it's surprisingly well done, as if a Master Chef took over a Baskin Robbins. No, it's probably not going to garner a Michelin star, but the gravlax was stupendous, the cheese ravioli light and airy and the lamb and the sea bass vied for top honors. Worth a relaxing dinner!
