"Les Philosophes was perfectly located for us at less than a block away from our Hotel Paris Marais Caron de Beaumarchais. We had amazing French Onion Soup. The atmosphere is lively (great for night life too), and the service hilarious and upbeat."
"And, who can resist the original French onion soup? The lovely Les Philosophes in Le Marais serves a super-savory, cheesy version (in addition to many other delicious things)."
"In the heart of the Marais, this is the place to come for a quick lunch before you stroll down cobbled streets, go boutique hoppings, and check out the Centre Pompidou. My main reason to visit was to try the famed French onion soup and it surely doesn’t disappoint."
"It's hard to find a bad onion soup in Paris. If jet lag produces hunger pangs at odd hours, it's good to know that Les Philosophes, 28 Rue Vieille du Temple in the Marais district, has five-star onion soup and is open from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m."
"The steak tartare comes from local farms, and is the freshest of the fresh. They are well known for this dish, and if you are interested in trying one of the best in Paris, you’ll find it here."
"I am very picky with onion soups because my mom makes an amazing one and I don’t like salty soups and I can honestly say this one was fantastic! Craving it right now!!"
"A culinary institution, find this bustling restaurant in the heart of the Marais. Despite its popularity, if you’re prepared to sit outside (they have heaters) you won’t wait too long for a table. Try the French onion soup."
"Perfect for an aperitif or coffee outdoors on the terrace. Also has some of the best onion soup incase you need a snack too."
"I absolutely, 100%, consider myself a French Onion soup connoisseur. I cook it all the time at home, and have specific cook books on how to make it. The Onion Soup at Les Philosophes was honestly to die for. We went back another time before leaving Paris."

"This place was the first try since we discovered this site, and thanks 🙏🏼 to this, the soup was full of strong taste of broth, the gruyere was melted on top of bread, and around floating tasty french butter, highly recommended"
