Restaurant with an outdoor terrace to taste a surprising and very good traditional cuisine in Paris
It's the trend of the moment, but it's usually a hit with everyone, and makes it easy to spot the place you're talking about - in this case, Vrai Paris. For here, the storefront is topped with a host of colourful artificial flowers, which literally dress up the front of the place. Tourists flock here to sample traditional cuisine, sometimes surprising, but above all very good. Here, the burger is based on shredded beef, the salmon is lacquered with miso, and the cheesecake is flavoured with lime. Service is fast and efficient.

Rayan est un serveur au top !
Merci à lui pour la bienveillance et l'attention et les conseils sur les plats super bien mangé , on reviendra !
The positives. I honestly found this place one of the prettiest little neighborhood restaurants I’ve been to. Ceiling details, wood accents, a comfy bar. It simply felt very comfortable.
The service, compared to most Parisian restaurants (including high-priced ones) was very good. My server was very friendly, attentive, and tolerant of my French.
The prices were quite reasonable. Nothing was ridiculously expensive for its quality or portion.
Now the food. Please understand that it wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t great. The menu’s very extensive, which often isn’t a good sign—hard to be great at everything. They have the traditional French fare and some not-so traditional (French toast, salmon ceviche) as well. To be very fair to them, I wasn’t adventurous. I came for the cafe gourmands and ended up also getting oysters and cheese. They were as one woukd expect, just fine. Both were good selections and tasty, if not anything to write home about.
I have to say, though, that the cafe gourmands did not disappoint. I had espresso with milk, which was delicious. The three desserts were a chocolate cake, a more mousse-like cake, and I think a carrot cake. All were delicious and sprinkled with this topping that had the same texture as Trix cereal.
If you’re looking for a local-feeling, comfortable, reasonably priced place to snack where you can people watch or simply drink in the neighborhood, Le Vrai Paris is an excellent choice.

Everything was delicious ????
Le croissant étais bon mais froid et la baguette un peu dur
Le chocolat chaud qui goûte l’eau
Et yaourt très bon mais indu
Fruit sans goût mais c est pas la saison
Et le pancake sec sa se voie qu’il date pas d’aujourd’hui il étais tout humide en dessous et tout sec et on c’est plaint et le serveur nous a dit que c’est pas sec car il y a le sirop qui vas avec sauf que ça ne change pas le fait que le pancake soit froid et sec
Mais le serveur a été gentil et nous as demander si tout ce passais bien mais juste parle pas assez fort
