Service started out patchy and strange but improved as the waitstaff “woke up.” The food was good

I don't normally write reviews of restaurants, but Le Buisson Ardent demands an exception. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a beloved regular patron of a classic Parisian restaurant from your very first visit? This is the experience Nicolas, Arnaud, and the entire team at Le Buisson Ardent offer to every guest. Charming & swift service, wonderful traditional French food (some dishes with a touch of Spanish flair), excellent wines and cocktails, and the comfortable atmosphere of a true Parisian classic. If I lived in Paris, Le Buisson Ardent would be my second home. Until then, I look forward to my next visit to this showstopper of a restaurant!

The worst of the worst. A 'risotto' that seemed to be overcooked rice drenched with cream with some lacklustre veggies strewn on top. Steak was served cold and tasted mostly of water but with a sinister sub-flavour of decay. We ate about 10% of both dishes, then complained, and were given a small reduction in the bill. These guys are preying on tourists, serving food that an eight-year-old would be ashamed of. Avoid.

Manager was wonderful! We had just had our home in Florida hit by a massive hurricane and lost 3 cars and flooded our home. He heard this and brought us complimentary Kir Royales! Not necessary but certainly most welcome! Food was great especially the escargot, grilled octopus and lamb shank.

We have been coming year for years. While the ambience across from Jussieu is always a little noisy, the food does not disappoint. The service was also excellent.

The food was poor I had a small rump steak which was tough and my partner had fish which had been deep fried and overcooked. The service was good. Afraid it’s all about the poor food.

From the moment we walked into this fabulous bistro we were welcomed like family. We made instant friends with our waiter Julian . He made our last evening in Paris the most memorable of our six days here . The food was inventive and delicious. Please, please do not miss this experience while in Paris !

We picked this restaurant based on reviews and close location to our hotel. What a find. The service was super friendly thankfully there English was better than my French. The place and atmosphere were brilliant. The food was truly amazing. During our stay in Paris we went to higher end restaurants that were more expensive but the food here was on par if not slightly better. Will definitely return on a future trip to Paris.

What a lovely hidden gem near the Sorbonne. Food was excellent, portions were perfect. Wine list was extensive and fairly priced. We are a group of Americans visiting from Philadelphia, and the wait staff was friendly and welcoming. Service was excellent.

Le Buisson Ardent is a collection of contradictions: it is relaxed and welcoming, but beautifully decorated and elegant in atmosphere; it serves "comfort food" and traditional dishes, but they are of the topmost quality in preparation and presentation; the service is excellent and attentive, but it is never rushed or obtrusive. The wine list had a good selection at a number of price points. I will return every time I'm in Paris.

Le buissant ardent has changed its focus. It is now a happy hour which also serves food. We had eaten there many times in the past few years and expected a restaurant experience. There were about 10 diners inside and from what I could see a table or two outside where dinner was being served. The rest of the terrace was a happy hour with a very , very large group of mainly young people., which is expected for a happy hour venue. The food we ate was not good, including the moelleux which we ordered for dessert, which was not a moelleux with a soft center, but just a piece of dry and grainy chocolate cake. Our problem is that the restaurant was misrepresented in the la fourchette description.. if we had known that the restaurant was not as we remembered, we would have made another selection. Also, the check did not include the 20 per cent discount. This error was corrected, but considering what we ate we feel that the menu is overpriced.
