We found Le Dante an excellent spot to stop and eat. The atmosphere, both inside and outside are fun and comfortable. The food is really good and most of their desserts are made in house. The service is also very good, friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed dining here.

On our second day in Paris, we returned here at the end of the day. The waiters were very attentive and spoke English, so it was easy to order :) We had Tomato Mozzarella & Pesto Maison and Chicken Burger frites frainches & Slade, all dishes were very tasty. We sat on the street side, the atmosphere was magical! If you are in Paris, I highly recommend it.

Friendly service from the start! The food was tasty (salad nikoice). The husband ate meat. In the French way, it was cramped, but it fit well and the sun was shining nicely. The service was fast and brisk. English went well from the staff.

What a nice surprise! We were looking for a place to eat for a dinner on Saturday night and reached a point we had to eat soon. I was concerned about some negative reviews but my daughter didn’t want to move any further so we took a chance. Well none of the negative reviews i read were accurate. The fries were crisp, the fish and chips was excellent and not dry. The lamb chops were excellent with really good “gratin dauphinois” and crisp green been. Food was all home made. The service was very efficient and good. So really good overall.
