We've been in France for over a week and have eaten in this area for several nights now. We were really looking forward to tonight's dinner given the outstanding reviews from others and from our hosts. The service was rushed, the quantities much smaller than others in the area, and the ravioli languistino (sp?) was only lukewarm. We also ...

Everything about Cafe Constant was comfortable. The bar, the owners, the neighborhood, the food the other diners. We found ourselves just a few doors down at one of the Constant's other restaurants; and fell right in for after dinner atmosphere! Wonderful.

For around 30 euros (dinner menu) some of the best, most beautiful and often creative food in my Parisian dining experience. The lobster & green bean salad is our favorite starter but the tomato, mozzarella mille feuill is also very good. The sea bass and palenta or the steak is a good main dish and the riz au lait or the chocolate "quenelles" are the best desserts.

I was there two nights ago and had a different experience. Surprisingly rude service to match the dank decor and our rather unexceptional meal. This may have been an exception, however, given the other experiences described here.

I actually was looking for this restaurant to make a reservation when I go to Paris in April. I ate at this restaurant last year and it was marvelous. The owner is a gem also. I bought his cookbook and he graciously signed it. I plan to go back!
