Au Cœur du Marais — Restaurant in Paris

We rented this apartment for New Year's 2016-2017, as a family with 4 adults and one child. While the apartment was spacious and well located, it had several problems: 1 - the drain of the bathroom shower was clogged, and we could not let the water run for any reasonable amount of time before the water spilled onto the bathroom floor. I looked for a stopper to try to de-clog it, but couldn’t find it. 2- The corner fixture (where the doors make an angle) in the railing on the floor of the shower doors, is falling apart 3- The wall power socket in the master bedroom, on the window side (right hand side if you face the bed) is completely loose, exposing the contacts; 4- The heater under the window of the living room, on the right hand side as you enter the room, was not properly fixed to the wall. It fell as soon as I touched it to set the temperature. I was able to put it back in place, but I don’t know if it is stable. 5 - The knob on the (fake) window in the hallway is completely loose, it came out in my hand when I tried to open it. 6- We had to swipe out a lot of dust that was accumulated on the corners of the two rooms which had not been completely cleaned. In addition, I was surprised to receive a €75 extra bill after the rental, for "extra cleaning" and "damage to the heating unit". The "Extra cleaning" was due to: 1 - Trash that is properly collected, but not taken out to the building’s trash bin; 2 - Uncleaned plates and silverware collected in the sink; 3 - Unmade beds - We presumed they would in any case collect the sheets to be cleaned after our stay. We were under the impression that these were already included in the cleaning fee paid with the rental, but Absolu Travel claims there are instructions in the apartment stating such things are not included. We were never able to see these instructions. We wrote to them asking for clarification and a copy of these instructions and where they were placed in the apartment, but never got an answer. We never touched or used the heating unit in the kitchen (which was warm enough from the heating in the rest of the apartment. We informed the agency abou this, they said the would talk to the owner, but again, never got back to us. Throughout this process I have been in contact with different people at Absolu Travel; the person with whom I originally dealt with has left the agency, I spoke to a new person in charge, who promised to get back to me but never did. In summary, I would not recommend renting from...

I went here because I really wanted french onion soup. I was very disappointed with what I recieved. The soup was in a regular soup bowl and there was no cheese melted on top like what I am used to. The broth was very plain. I had to add salt to it. The bread was very good and had cheese in the bread, but unfortunately the broth ruined how good the soup could have been. I also ordered the croque vegetarian and that was pretty decent. It looked really good and tasted good. The drinks were very expensive. It was over 4 euros to get a soda. They do have a very lage selection of cocktails for 8 euros a piece. Overall my experience was ok but I would not...

Incredibly cute traditional French bistro right across the street from the National Archives Museum.

The food was amazing - I ordered the fish of the day paired with a glass of Chardonnay as well as an apple tart for dessert. The fish was delicious, the wine was perfect, and the apple tart was, without exaggeration, one of the best I've ever had.

As a tourist, I'm always a little apprehensive when eating out in Paris as my French is not so good but the owner was so kind and attentive and made me feel very much at ease. The waiters also happened to speak English as well.

Food, ambiance, service - five stars...
