Fantastic food in La Marais. Very attentive staff and didn’t frown at speaking English. Leek salad with vinagarette/egg white dressing is to die for. Reasonably priced wine selection and menu. Pomme frittes and profiteroles a 10. Highly recommend it. Chain smokers was only negative

We were so disappointed we wasted an entire meal in an incredible food city like Paris on this place last week. Servers spent no time with us, could not have gotten us out of there faster, the steak was completely flavorless. My boyfriend’s meal was inedible and he barely touched and they didn’t ask how it was or if they could get him anything else. We felt completely ignored and left completely starving. There are too many other good restaurants in Le Marais so I don’t recommend taking a chance on this one.

Wandering through the Marais without reservations on a Friday night, I came upon Le Bouledogue. They had a table for us hungry wanderers, and they welcomed us in. I was happy to see that most of the restaurant patrons were French, not tourists. The bistro is cramped in space, but the servers know how to manage with that limited resource. The wine list was totally fine with a wide range of prices. My husband also tried a mojito, which he said was excellent. I started with the asparagus on special, and it was divine. Perfectly steamed and tender and fresh. I then had the duck confit, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The accompanying frites were perfectly crispy and salty. For dessert, I had the taste tatin, and it was delectable. My husband had the soup, the cod, and the ice cream. He enjoyed everything. Prices were extremely reasonable for the neighborhood.

I have fond memories of Le Bouledogue. Not too long ago when I was in Paris I lived practically next door to this place. It became my favorite neighborhood hangout. The ambiance was very comfortable and friendly, as were the waiters and owners, and of course resident bulldog. So cute. I loved that there was always a nice mix of locals and travelers. I was always pleased with the food and service. My favorite was the duck confit. Just delicious! but everything was made well and with care from a la carte items to dessert. If you’re in the neighborhood, definitely give it a try!

Thanks Unilocalers! We had a wonderful meal at Le Bouledogue. Following the suggestions found on many of the review we chose the Duck Confit and were pleased with the perfectly execute plate. Despite the wonderful main course we were too weak to withstand the temptation of their desert offerings, having excellent sorbet and a fabulous Raspberry Tart with nicely made cups of espresso. One of the nicest dining experiences during our winter trip to Paris.

What a gem! Passed by this restaurant as I walking to another for dinner. I didn’t have reservations at the other so decided to come back to this one instead. Very cute restaurant in a great area. I’m not sure of the neighborhood name, but there were lots of restaurants around and all were lively. My friend and I each ordered duck, although she ordered Duck Confit and I order Duck Filet. Both of our dishes came with potatoes and a delicious salad. The food was excellent, and we both cleaned our plates! The service was great too. Seemed to be a family run place, and the atmosphere/guests were not touristy at all. Felt like an authentic Parisian dinner where the Parisians would eat. My favorite part of dinner was the bulldog(get it… le bouledogue!) started barking. Although I was happy when I got the check too… prices were reasonable. Definitely bookmarked and will be returning!

As I was roaming the streets, I saw a picture of the cutest bulldog and just new it was meant to be between the 2 of us. Loved the whole dining experience. The waiter was extremely friendly, the owner came over to see how everything was, even the french bulldog came to greet me & sniff me at my table. Sooo cute! I got the duck confit and it was just insanely mouthwatering. I even had dessert that night & everything was just exquisite, but not too over the top.

The Duck Confit. I was on a date with that dish, that night. Cutting in to that skin perfectly poached in its own fat and sipping on delicious French house wine, late one weeknight, in a café tucked away in a quiet street in La Marais, was the highlight of my trip to Paris. I did see Monalisa and the Eiffel Tower, neither make me close my eyes in reminiscence. That dish, however, I remember it all. The flavors, the textures and the scents. It took my love for food to another level. Amongst all the oohs and aahs I had at dinner tables in my life, this duck confit stands out. Not just for its taste, but, for the respect with which this dish was treated for days or may be weeks before it reached my plate. It just showed. I don’t think I can ever order duck confit again. And, be satisfied. Not until I go back to Le Bouledogue. Someday, I will.

My friends and I got in from London later than we expected, and this was the only place serving dinner after 10pm within walking distance to our vacation flat. It was great. Our food came quick considering it’s France(where I’ve never had a fast meal), which was perfect since we were starving. I hadn’t read the Unilocal reviews but I knew I wanted the duck confit immediately as my first meal in Paris after not being here for many years. It was a huge portion, and I just barely finished. My friend insisted on an apple tart for dessert, so of course I had to get a chocolat chaud to finish the meal. The prices were reasonable for the area, and the service and food were excellent. We even met the namesake pup of the café as he and his owner left for the night. Would definitely go back.

We went looking for a local joint in the area, and stumbled into the very charming Le Bouledogue near the Rambuteau metro. If you were wondering, yes, the place is called«The Bulldog,» and yes, they have an actual bulldog that will saunter out and greet the customers. Bonus points for that. There appeared to be an equal mix of English-speaking tourists and French patrons in the shop, and reservations are accepted though not required. Menus come in both English and French, and I tried my best to get by on laughably passable French. The waiters happily obliged, though I think I did my best to butcher the language. Being Asian, I’ve got impossibly high standards for duck that only the Chinese and French can match. I wish I had read the Unilocal reviews beforehand and known to order the duck confit. I instead went with the filet(Magret de Canard), which was still hands-down delicious and exceptionally tender. Eying the French couple at the table next to us, I also started with the provincial Oeufs en Meurette, quite tasty indeed. It was my first experience with these, and I found them preferable to the more well-known Oeufs Mayonnaise. I daresay my entrée+plat combo took the cake, but all of the dishes at the table were quite appealing. I rather enjoyed the herring and potatoes starter, with a pickled, salty bite that jives with my taste buds. One dish we missed, but looked quite tasty when we saw it brought to the table next to us, was the fish cooked three ways. Solid food and solid service for decent prices. Plus a bulldog to boot. Greatly enjoyable.

My first Unilocaling since November 2009 is from Paris, France! Located near where I stayed on 20 rue Rambuteau, it was pretty easy to access. Also it’s only a few minutes walk from Chatele Les Halles station. Menu is kindly written in both French & English. Pricing may intimidate you a bit. Starters ranges from 8 to 12 euro. Entrée ranges between 18 to 25 euro. So get your stack of cash and plastic handy. I ordered cold vegetable soup for starter and beef fillet steak for entrée. Since I ordered in hurry, I requested medium for the beef which soon I regret. It look thoroughly grilled on outside but inside was super juicy. It was very heavenly. Soup was great. I’m always bit hesitant when it comes to soup being served cold, this soup was exceptional. It’s tomato based with lots of other herb like ingredients like rosemary, coriander, etc. Since I don’t understand any French, all I could get was expression. There were no smile there. So it can be intimidating to non-French speakers. But service was swift and proper. I think if I gave even little ray of aura of «USA! USA!», treatment could have been resentful like Jennifer B stated. Thankfully I was with French native for this lunch. If they had friendly atmosphere, they would’ve got my one last star.

Le client a toujours raison? Pas chez Le Bouledogue. Je mange plus de 50% de mes repas dans les restaurants et j’ai eu le plaisir de manger dans toutes les parties du monde, mais je n’ai jamais, par laquelle je dis bien jamais, connu le genre de manqué de respect pour le client avec laquelle nous avons été confrontés à Le Bouledogue. Les choses semblaient bien au début, avec une belle table à l’extérieur. Ma femme et moi avons commandé nos repas à partir du gestionnaire(propriétaire?) et nous avons eu un apéritif agréable. Alors notre repas est arrivé et un serveur demandé qui de nous avait le confit de canard. Aucun de nous avait commandé le confit de canard. Pour mon part j’avais commandé le magret de canard. Je l’ai dit au serveur et le garçon a repris nos assiettes. Puis le gestionnaire est sorti et a insisté que j’avais commandé le confit. J’ai répondit calmement que non, que j’avais ordonné le magret, et que je né voulais pas le confit. J’ai dit que peut-être il y avait eu un malentendu, mais le gestionnaire a catégoriquement déclaré qu’il n’y avait aucun malentendu et que j’avais commandé le confit. Puis le gestionnaire a dit agressivement que le plat avait déjà été fait, alors que je devrais le manger. Le gérant nous avait essentiellement crié en face du restaurant. Nous avons payé la facture pour l’apéritif et quitté le restaurant sans manger – ce qui signifie que le restaurant a perdu le paiement pour les deux repas, et pas seulement le confit. Il n’importe pas qui avait«raison» au sujet de l’ordre. Un restaurateur de la qualité toujours traitera le client avec respect et lui donner le bénéfice du doute. Nous né reviendrons jamais à Le Bouledogue.

We stumbled upon this cute little French bistro while exploring the lovely neighborhood we were staying in. We were won over by the menu, and were definitely not disappointed — I am still dreaming of my steak frites after being back in the States for nearly two weeks. The food was reasonably priced and delicious, the service extremely friendly, and we left extremely satisfied. We will definitely return upon our next visit. I highly recommend.

Tarifs et pratique prohibitifs Le Bouledogue né tient pas compte de la baisse de la TVA ! 6.90 € un oeuf mayonnaise, tomate mozarella di bufala à 10.50 €… La carte en vitrine précise aussi que l’établissement né sert pas une simple entrée, obligation de prendre un plat. Prix et pratique commerciale extrêmement prohibitifs et abusé pour une simple brasserie !

Amère déception Quelle déception ! J’avais entendu parler de cette brasserie de sa décoration et son«bon état d’esprit» mais j’ai franchement été déçue ! Certes, je né m’y suis pas rendue pour y déjeuner mais juste pour y prendre un verre avec un ami, nous nous installons donc en terrasse et après avoir demandé la carte, je choisis un cappuccino avec un verre d’eau, je précise… Après un laps de temps assez long(généralement bon signe pour ce genre de boisson un peu longue à préparer) le serveur revient, pose avec condescendance le Monaco de mon ami et mon cappuccino sans verre d’eau, et demande l’encaissement de suite ! Je vois que la mousse du cappuccino né tient pas je le lui fais remarquer, et il lâche un laconique«ça arrive…» sans pour autant faire mine de le remplacer… Franchement au prix du cappuccino,(4,5euros), il était infect et je vous conseille d’aller ailleurs et d’éviter le lieu !

Devenu une institution de la rue Rambuteau, riche de petits commerces de bouche lui conférant une vraie atmosphère de centre ville de province, le Bouledogue est un beau café-resto à l’ancienne. Assez prisé des touristes, il n’en attire pas moins les habitants du quartier qui aiment se retrouver dans ce lieu qui fleure bon l’authenticité. Très bonne carte et ambiance conviviale.

Ce petit restaurant de la rue Rambuteau est une adresse à retenir pour un bon diner entre amis. La carte est un peu plus chère que la plupart des concurrents du quartier mais la cuisine maitrisée et gouteuse le justifie à elle seule ! A chaque fois que je suis allé au Bouledogue, je me suis régalé ! Les entrées sont copieuses et délicieuses quand au tartare de bœuf, c’est tout simplement le meilleur que j’ai mangé cette année ! Parfaitement assaisonné et tellement frais ! A 18 € 50, je vous le recommande chaudement ! Idem pour les dessert maison, une pure merveille. Leur tarte aux fruits rouges est à tomber. Comptez tout de même 40⁄50 € par personne avec les boissons. Le décor est à l’avenant, raffiné, tamisé et de bon gout. Ambiance vieux bistrot mais avec ce petit décalage(déco consacrée au bouledogue !!!) qui fait la différence.

Non, ici il n’y a pas que des bouledogues qui mangent. En 1996, Didier et Jean Pierre et leur chien Elliot ont eu l’idée d’ouvrir un restaurant. Et pourquoi pas la nommer Le Bouledogue en l’honneur du chien? «T’en pense quoi Elliot?» «ouaf ouaf!» Et c’est la que né cette petite brasserie traditionnelle avec comme thème de décors, le bouledogue, sur les tables de la terrasse, accrochés aux murs à l’intérieur. L’ambiance est super sympa, décontractée, souvent très sonore mais tant pis, on se lâche et on parle un peu plus fort que d’habitude. Une atmosphère électrique s’en dégage. Côté cuisine, que diriez vous de commencer par une rillettes de saumon servi sur un toast de pain poilâné, de continuer par une bavette d’aloyau à l’échalote accompagnée des incontournables frites au couteau très croustillantes, et de finir par un grand classique, un moelleux au chocolat crème anglaise fait maison!

Agacée Voulant faire un repas léger, nous avons demandé deux salades tomates mozzarelle. Un classique. Ici 11,50 Euros. Le garçon très aimable(le service est parfait) nous a dit qu’il fallait prendre des plats également. Nous avons décidé de partir. C’est assez désagréable cette attitude qui oblige à consommer. — Non, restez. Pour cette fois… Je commande un gaspacho(délicieux) La tomate mozza est constituée de 4 tranches de tomates entrelardée de 4 tranches de mozza, le tout empilé et nappé d’huile d’olive avec basilic. Pas de basilic frais pour 11, 50 euros, et des tomates(pardon, une demi tomate) médiocres. Petit panier de pain. 2 salades + un gaspacho + une demi perrier + un café= 40 euros Les coquilles Saint Jacques de l’assiette à côté avaient l’air délicieuses ainsi que les tartares un peu plus loin…

Très bonne soirée ! Tiens? Un restaurant avec des nappes sur la table ! C’est assez rare aujourd’hui pour le souligner ! Le cadre est très sympa, la carte assez variée style brasserie +, les prix«parisiens»(c’est à dire qu’on tape toujours dans le haut du pavé: 47 heuros pour un apéro, un plat, un dessert, du vin et un café… mais bon, on commence à être habitué, hélas), le service adorable, les toilettes très propres(je suis sensible à ce détail…), bref un très bon moment(on né parle pas des prix, c’est partout pareil) dans une ambiance bon enfant et pas prise de tête.

Si vous êtes dans le coin… Cadre soigné, mais un peu serré, l’espace est géré sans état d’âme; on peut noter que le bruit est désagréable pour un couple qui veut s’échanger des confidences. La cuisine est pas mal, genre brasserie de tradition avec quelques trouvailles, bonne qualité, en rapport avec le prix. En revanche si vous réservez ou si on vous y place en arrivant, refusez absolument la table du fond(près des cuisines), il fait beaucoup trop chaud. Demandez(exigez ?) la terrasse. Service très bon.
