Bianco — Restaurant in Paris

This bar boasts one of the best terraces for enjoying budget-friendly drinks with the cool crowd of Paris. Located in a prime spot amid the criss-crossing, cobblestoned streets of the quarter, Bianco is for happy hour drinks and watching the world go by, on a very Parisian terrace. A sun-trap during spring and summer, the terrace gets busy as soon as the after-work crowd is released. However, the staff is usually happy to squeeze in as many as possible by providing minuscule extra stools around already packed tables. In the winter, a nice touch is the ultra-soft fleece blankets, supplied when the overhead heaters just won’t do the job. Happy hour, daily from 4pm to 7pm, offers a two-for-one deal on all drinks, effectively obliging you to stay for a second round! We recommend sampling the cocktail du jour. For those who arrive a little too late, the drink prices remain relatively low and you can enjoy a 50cl pitcher of decent house wine for €9. The bar provides delectable little treats of bite-sized, freshly cooked pizzas and marinated olives to accompany your apéritif. Inside, everything is white, black, orange and glossy with square tables and padded pod chairs, creating an overall atmosphere of minimalist lounge. The music is a classic bar potpourri of soul, funk and electro. The menu has a good selection of pasta, pizza...

My boyfriend and I went to have lunch here, and we both really enjoyed it. The food came quickly, and the presentation of the meals was very appealing.

However, I must say the food is not too much worth the price, specifically for the pasta in regards to the pesto fusilli. The pizza itself was good, but nothing too special.

Service was also a bit rude I must say, which disappointed me as I really did like the restaurant. They forgot some of the things we asked for, which was upsetting.

In my opinion, the terrace area was the most appealing from the restaurant to me, however the tables outside are very small which makes it difficult for you to eat with someone else. The heaters were also on, and staff couldn't turn it off even though it was...

We were hungry, and tired after having walked all around the Louvre.

We looked at the hundreds of other menus on the way, finding not interesting and pricey items only. Then we decided to try this Italian place, as last resort. We did not want to eat Italian in France, because we live in Italy. However, we do not eat fish or raw meet, and we were tired of overpriced salads or roasted chicken.

Prices are not very high, compared to other venues in the area.

Pasta was good, average, but on the good side. Sauce and cooking time were decent. Portion was also decent, not too much.

Dessert, gelato, was not tasty. It was a bit too heavy, but it was a big cup, and looked good as presentation.

Service was nice and fast,...
