"French onion soup has been on the menu since 1862 and is a restaurant original. The portion was generous. It’s made with white wine, chicken, and beef broth with an abundance of aged Comté cheese and croutons. The smell was intoxicating and my husband said it was “the best” onion soup, hands down. I took a taste and it was delightfully sweet. I had to agree, this was the best onion soup I’ve tasted."
"The gourmet restaurant Café de la Paix treats us with the famous onion soup au gratin."
"One of the most famous French desserts, Mille-Feuille, is one of the Cafe de la Paix's signature desserts. Its crispy puff pastry and the soft vanilla cream gives you huge delight. It is just perfectly sweet and the vanilla ice cream on the side also refreshes your mind."
"I found the best Mille-Feuille in Paris! If you must eat this pastry, it is at the Café de la Paix that you must go! The Mille-Feuille of the Café de la Paix is simple, not artificial, because a true mille-feuille does not need it. The important thing is its crispy dough and creamy cream. The combination of both makes this pastry one of my favorites!"
"Café de la Paix, designed by Garnier himself, is an institution, still offering its famous onion soup with an elegant ambience."
"Lunch: take a table at the Café de la Paix beside Opéra Garnier (try the French onion soup)."
"Extremely good. The soft rich cream coupled with the crispy caramelised skin was heavenly. I demolished it in no time."
"On top of all this, Café de la Paix is known for something else —its mille-feuille. It is, to this day, the café’s most ordered item, trumping all of the other colorful sweets on parade during weekend brunch and lunch services. This iconic, delicate French pastry is a three-layered puff pastry with layers of sweetened buttercream and is topped with a light glaze. If you can snag a table or a seat at the bar, this is inarguably the place to order a mille-feuille."

"This sandwich made my day. It was beautiful and tasty. I know it's a fancy place to eat a sandwich but it was a fancy sandwich."
