10/10I came to Paris to find authentic French food and this was more than what I could have asked for. Great service and food was homemade and delicious.

10/10The burger was terrific, the fries were great and the staff was really nice. They spoke English, explained the menu and were very good getting us out the door in time for our Jazz concert down the street.

10/10+1A wonderful place to eat and drink. We booked as a large party of 16 and were made to feel very welcome with wonderful service from the host. The food was amazing, freshly cooked and from a good varied menu. The wine was great and the atmosphere and location were just right. Thank you for a memorable evening.

10/10Everything about this restaurant was exceptional! The owner was our server and helped us choose the best option and wine to go with it! The food was delicious and we loved our conversation with the owner. We were alone for the first half of the meal and then other French families came in to eat. You could tell they knew each other well which makes me think this is a common local place. Very authentic! Also the ambiance and decor were perfect! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone going to Paris!

6.5/10Food and service were good, plain good. Not spectacular but not bad. A good option for a quick unpretentious bite if you’re around the area.

3.5/10Restaurant looked charming, quirky & the waitress was charming. The food however was absolutely disgusting & inedible. Main courses of roast chicken & frogs legs were cold, dried out & stale, obviously leftover from a previous service or day. Bizarrely despite both plates being vertically untouched no comment was made by the waitress or chef. Our neighbouring table similarly left their plates full. Shameful & totally unprofessional restaurant to be avoided.

10/10I brought my family of 11 which is a feat in Paris. Reservations were easy and the restaurant was very accommodating. The food was very homey and delicious. Their escargots were one of the best we had.

9.5/10We wanted to try Bouchon cuisine while in Paris and Les Mauvais Garcons was the perfect place to go! We were very pleased with all the dishes we ordered. Started out with the Salade lyonnaise then each member of our family ordered a different main meal - Lyon Pike Quenelle, Grilled Dorade Meunière, Cheeseburger and Boeuf Bourguignon. We were completely satisfied with our meal. The most amazing and memorable part of it though was the dessert. We tried the Fondant au chocolate and a tart that to this day we dream about. The best dessert tart we have ever tried - Tart a la praline rose. Absolutely captivating! Thank you Les Mauvais Garcons. We will be back next time we are in Paris!

10/10Les Mauvais Garcons is always our first dinner in Paris. Riyad and his team never disappoint and the escargots and boeuf bourguignon are always cooked to perfection. Great way to start our Parisian Xmas holiday. We will be back for Christmas Eve for what will assuredly be another spectacular dining experience. We have been coming here for years and it is always our favorite night out when in Paris. Thank you for always making us feel like w r have returned home!

10/10The quenelle was exquisite. It was served with rice and bread to soak up the sauce. The nantua sauce was made with crayfish stock and was superb. Madam and her son were warm and welcoming. I dined alone on a Sunday afternoon. I can’t wait to return.

10/10The food was very good! And it was good to have a cheeseburger on the menu for teenagers who are not adventurous with their food. The waiter made the meal as he was so welcoming and good fun! Great atmosphere too!

10/10We have been coming to Les Mauvais Garçons every time we are in Paris since 2008. The food and service at this gem of a restaurant are of the highest caliber. Our waiter, Rian, has been with the establishment since 2006 which speaks to the longevity and quality. A must stop!

9.5/10Really excellent food and fun atmosphere. A lovely and lively evening in the Marais! Really can't say enough about this place. It's quite intimate (tiny) but the owner is so much fun and makes you feel at home.

10/10Discovered Les Mauvais Garçons for lunch about 7 years ago. Returned for dinner on this trip with 2 couples. Casual, comfortable bistro setting with yummy food. Friendly service. Tables and dining room small but this is part of the experience. Every table in the small restaurant was full.
