TRAM café-restaurant — Restaurant in Paris

On a recent business trip to Paris, I had some time to tour some of the historical sites associated with my project, most of which are located in and around the Panthéon. We called in to Tram for a coffee in the morning and regretted that we were a little too early for lunch as the menu looked amazing. I had a glimpse into the kitchen which was well organised and appealing. We enjoyed browsing the shelves filled with books, rare batches of syrups and other delicacies. After touring around some more we decided to head back there for lunch. It was super busy and we were lucky to get in. what a delightful experience! In spite of the cafe being extremely busy, our host took our name and we waited outside for a table to become available. She was so courteous, popping out to assure us we hadn’t been forgotten, while also supplying the local engineers with take away coffee. Once seated at a lovely big communal table with some other happy customers, we enjoyed the busy and lively atmosphere of the cafe where most were local diners and, clearly, repeat customers. Gorgeous food. I had the sardine boîte and my husband had mushroom soup which was honestly the most delicious soup either of us has ever tasted. The sparkling rosé wine was excellent (priced accordingly) but it was a really special meal and some of the best we had during our 3 day stay in the city. Wonderful food, great atmosphere and kind hosts who made it such a...

If you're not white or french, you will not be treated well here. I went to the café just before lunch time and it was empty with the exception of two other people. I ordered a coffee and was told it was lunch time so I needed to order a meal. I was very polite and speaking in French, I tried to order the pain perdu but was informed that sweet items were not considered lunch. Their lunch menu was so limited and had no vegan or vegetarian friendly options so I declined to order a savoury meal. I asked to just finish my coffee calmly since the restaurant was still empty. 10 minutes later, the main staff member practically grabbed my coffee cup from my hand and hurried me out. There were only 5 other people in the café at this time. There was plenty of space and my ONE seat was definitely not needed. I was being very understanding of their hours of service but they should probably specify online that you can not order anything sweet from 12 to 3pm. I was in the café for less than 20 minutes and there were 5 people total when I left so I didn't see the rush. I wouldn't recommend for people visiting the city. There are much nicer places in this city to pay 5 euro for a coffee without being disrespected and disregarded like that because of silent rules. There was definitely prejudice and...

Tram café is located is one of my favourite areas in Paris. It is not far from the beautiful Panthéon square, boulevard Saint-Germain and the Cathédrale Notre-Dame. I went there on a Friday around noon but they told me that without a reservation they couldn't offer me a table. I then went back on a Sunday afternoon and I was able to get a table. I started with an oat milk latte, which was very good. The coffee tasted rich and strong, how I usually like it. I also got the Croque monsieur and they are not lying when they say this is the best Croque monsieur in Paris. The mix of Jambon prince, sel de truffe and comté AOC is beyond this world. It was extremely good! I finished with dessert and got the pain perdu, glace vanille et caramel au beurre salé. I believe this was the best pain perdu I've ever tried. The combination of ice cream with a hot pain perdu is absolutely incredible.

I recommend Tram if you want to grab a bite around this area and visit a cool bookstore. The service was great and they have different types of...
