Food has definitely gone down hill since the last time we were here 4 years ago. Appetizers were good. Prawn risotto contained only 3 prawns and the rice was thick, sticky mass. What was supposed tobe bernaise sauce resembled tartar sauce from a jar. Frites were nicely done and all of the staff were pleasant and professional.

The phrase hidden gem is overused. But the food, service and ambiance here are superb. The menu may appear simple but they are complex in flavors. The plate presentation enhances the flavor, once it’s served take a minute to enjoy the dish. The service was excellent with prompt attention at all times.

We have been to this place several times over the last twenty years and used to like it a lot. But now I regret to say that this time, it was not as good as it used to be. The quiche as a starter was very plain, with a chopped piece of salad on the side. The risotto was bland.

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 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!

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.
