"The restaurant attracts politicians, writers, tourists, and local eccentrics - and remains one of the city's classic brasseries: the perfect stop before or after a film in a local art-house cinema. Don't expect miracles from the kitchen, but stick to evergreens like onion soup."

Jason Kottke

"Last night we had dinner at the Brasserie Balzar down the street from their hotel. Best onion soup I’ve had here yet."

Niamh Shields

"I need it’s comforting rich beefy stock and sweet sleepy slippery onions beneath their heavy cheese blanket."

Thomas Vander Wal

"Ayi had the classic French onion soup, which is rich, robust and flavourful. It still remains our favourite onion soup in Paris."

"Every spoonful revealed golden onions swimming in a delicious beef broth. The parmesan cheese on top was bubbly and wonderfully broiled to a golden brown."

Maureen Hoffman

"The French Onion Soup was perfect after hours walking through rainy and cold Paris."
