La Terrasse St Jacques — Restaurant in Paris

TOURISTS COME HERE! MANGE ICI! Fantastic food, great service, amazing vibe and patio down a not so busy street.

Food - It was excellent. Ordered the french onion soup, it was fantastic, great umami taste and rich soup base. Ordered carbonara and cheese burger as main. The carbonara was so creamy, but salty with the pork but the egg yolk balanced out the saltiness along with the parmesan, It was superb. The burger tasted so fresh, the beef was juicy, fries were crispy and soft on inside. We ended the meal with a crème brûlée which was fantastic, very sweet but the cream balanced it out and made for a great ending.

Service - coming out of the rain to find shelter and lunch, the male server was very courteous and helped us in. We had a baby and stroller and he helped us find a spot we were comfortable in. He recommended us sit on same side, patio and facing the street to enjoy the rain while we eat, was a superb experience. He sat us near outlets to charge our phone and made space for our stroller which was very nice. The patio, rain, and being super comfy was fantastic. Even offered to heat milk up for the baby. He offered to turn the heaters on so we got warm and dried a bit.

Vibe - it was a great vibe. The aesthetic was very classic french and in the rain, down a not so busy street allowed us to chat away the minutes and eat our food while enjoying a...

Hands down, one the best burgers I have ever ate and I've been too quite a few burger joints – definitely top 3 material.

The restaurant is very cozy for a couple, and they even lit the candles on our table when we arrived. They started off with a complementary bottle of water, seasoned olives and caramel popcorn before we even ordered.

We had the Classique Cheeseburger and the Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad. Like I said, the cheeseburger exceed my expectations entirely. The patty was so juicy and the cheese was melting on the bun. The fries were plenty and the coleslaw/salad mixture was decent in size. Not to mention, the chicken in the caesar salad was also really good. It felt like grilled, but it was actually crispy fried, also in decent size. And the croutons were soft, but not soggy.

The staff was great and welcoming. They asked if everything was good and they were very helpful.

First night in Paris was off to...

Real nice place. Close to the University of Sorbonne it is filled with students in a Friday night. Pretty cool place and very lively even though it does not have music or anything. The atmosphere is amazing and the crepes are awesome. The hot chocolate is superb. On Friday, the happy hour goes from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm which makes it even better. If you are in Paris visiting, the place is well worth the walk... and also... across the street there is an awesome Pastry Shop... I mean, to take back to the hotel or something... hahaha... great place. Come with confidence, is...
