10/10We had an amazing experience here. The food was exceptional, the staff friendly, the service excellent. We had a great experience and even tried to make time to go back again during our stay in Paris, we liked it so much! Highly recommend!

10/10We 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.

10/10What 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.

10/10Le 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.

2.5/10Le 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.

10/10This restaurant has been my home away from home for my first week in Paris. The staff are welcoming, the ambience is classy and relaxing, and the food is amazing. My wife and I are planning a trip back to Paris just so I can take her to this restaurant.

10/10Wonderful old world environment. Young animated joyful staff. We had dinner on 7/5/22 the young woman was an absolute delight and great waitress- I waited tables thru 5 years of college recognize great skills when I see them. I have several food allergies and preference constraints honored. Our meals where delicious large portions very good price. This establishment was recommended by our Airbnb host who lives in neighborhood, I would be a regular if I lived here!

7.5/10This place had great reviews, but sadly the experience did not live up to the hype. Lots of cigarette smoke wafting into the dining room, food was better than average but we twice got the wrong dish.
