Bar Gustave. Great location and ambiance and staff to serve you up some fresh bites very close to the beloved Eiffel tower. The staff was very friendly and enjoyed the service. The beer on tap was very delicious. The steak was a little too dry. I asked for medium rare but got medium, I felt. Little dry maybe should have asked for rare. Was not sure if medium rare US may be different in Europe. Nonetheless, it's a good steak with frites, but you can definitely find better. Still would recommend if you are hungry as I say I'm sure there is a lot on the menu that may warrant a 5 star. Staff and Ambiance definitely 5 stars. Merci Cafe Gustave

Lovely cafe. Very friendly staff. Speaking a bit of English politely. We were able to get food right before the kitchen closed. Much appreciated. Excellent food and espresso martini.

Anyone not giving Cafe Gustave a 5 Star review, is reviewing the wrong restaurant. The food was delicious! The atmosphere was electric!! The crowd was crowded and happy!!! And all the Staff led by Eva or Ava, not sure how you spell it (no matter how you spell it, you were fantastic ), was on their game and Top Notch!!!!! They were so friendly and accommodating. My family and I were so happy with all of it. Food, service, atmosphere. I am sad that we are leaving in 2 days but I can promise you this, I will be back to Paris and will make it a priority to return to Cafe Gustave! You should too.

Wonderful experience! Our waiter Momo was very professional, fast, and attentive – he even helped us escape from some wasps. The food was tasty and the atmosphere delightful. Definitely recommend!
