4.0 of 5 stars. Steak, frites, a bottle of intriuging bubbly Beaujolais? What could go wrong! I love French food and the addition of another establishment from the people that bought you Le Pichet was most welcome.…

3.0 of 5 stars. I really want to like Le Pichet's hip younger sister, I really do. The food is pretty good, almost on par with Pichet, and the service is perhaps better, but I have some beefs with the place that I…

Silliness

Whoa--first off, nowhere in Paris is like this place because no self-respecting Montmatre proprietaire would let customers sit around while the wait staff gossips. This was our second try--the first time we...

4.0 of 5 stars. It's crowded and noisy and you will probably have to move your table so that the people next to you can get in or out. But that's the point. If you don't like crowds and noise, go for breakfast,…

Affordable, delicious food and great service!

I'm a huge stickler when it comes to service but will adjust my expectations in relation to how much the food costs. That being said, I love Cafe Presse! I've eaten there twice (both times they were super...
