I called to make a reservation and since that call, the service is excellent. The restaurant is very well located. We asked to be seated outside and it's a great spot. As appetizers we ordered the vegetable carpaccio with goat cheese, and it was delicious! My husband had the escargot and he loved them. The wine recommendation is on point. We had a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.

This place was a redemption from other disappointing French restaurants in Paris. Great ambience, excellent leek appetizer, and very good Sea Bream and chicken mushrooms.
Wonderful!
We had a fabulous evening dinner at La Fontaine de Mars! Wonderful service, ambience, and food in a beautiful Parisian precinct. Would definitely go there again.
Friendly service, disappointing experience and food
Our meal started off well the staff were very friendly and accommodating in finding us a table without a reservation. However they were clearly understaffed that day, the food took well over an hour to arrive, it was difficult to track anyone down and they forgot one of the items. When the food did arrive it was very disappointing. The fries were tasteless and soggy and the salmon was cold so we sent it back. They clearly put it in the microwave because it came back very quickly hot and dried out. They then forgot to take sparkling water we never received off the bill. We could hear our neighbours at the table next to us also having a poor experience and left after their starters. For the prices especially there are far better restaurants in Paris.
Amazing food and desserts were out of this world!
Stopped by the restaurant with my teen for a light supper. We normally get a heavier dinner, but we had a full day at the Versailles, and we're not in the mood to indulge ourselves with more amazing food. We did not have any reservations and arrived early just after the restaurant was opened for dinner. The restaurant was already busy. We were not dressed up. The staff did not judge us and gave us a table. We ordered one of the specials such as Tomates Burrata and Blanc de Poireaux (steamed leak in herb sauce), which were just appetizers. We were so impressed of those two appetizer dishes. It was absolutely fascinating how those dishes were prepared to perfection and were done in most delicious way. I never thought that leak could be transformed to something so magnificent. For desert, we had Creme Brulee and Ile Flottante (floating island). Both were scrumptious. It was our first time trying Ile Flottante, and it was one of the best desserts we had. The service was very fast and the staff was very friendly. We were completely full from the two items each. The menu consists of amazing dishes that are worth coming back for. The restaurant is clean and the food was amazing. My teen was very impressed (and it is hard to impress teenagers). Loved the place and highly recommend it for any occasions.
Birthday trip
I'm sorry to have to write a poor review but this restaurant was very dissapointing. Reviews I had read were good & we decided to try it. Im afraid the food was very poor for the price they are charging. Presentation & flavour should be so much better in this authentic French restaurant. We shared a buratta starter, which had no flavour, just lumpy tomatoes, buratta & tasteless pesto π€! Duck & 2 meat stew were our main courses.... Duck & polenta - no veg, presentation awful. Stew was absolutely tasteless... A bit of garlic & soft herbs would have done wonders to the flavour. Very bad bitty side of fries for β¬8π³. Our waiter was very pleasent & the restaurant is really nice, just unfortunately the food let this place down
Highlight of our trip prior to Eiffel Tower visit
La Fontaine de Mars is truly an outstanding restaurant and the highlight of our recent trip to Paris. The wine pots offer a fantastic deal and one standout dish was the roasted duck breast served with creamy polenta. The attention to detail in both presentation and flavors at La Fontaine de Mars is remarkable, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in fine French cuisine in a welcoming and charming setting.
Great service and great food
Great service and great food. Typical French brasserie near the Eiffel Tower with red and white checkered tablecloths. I liked the bread and saucisson sec they gave us as we perused the menu. I had cassoulet which was delicious, the veal was wonderful . Recommend this restaurant
Great place to eat after a morning at Eiffel Tower.
The service was amazing and the food very nice. We had white fish and salmon and both were tender and flaky. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the street views.
Definitely worth visiting if you are ever in Paris.
The wait staff was really professional and courteous, extremely attentive. The food was top drawer, definitely worth the price. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends that enjoy fine dining.
Best meal we have had in Paris.
Is it pricey? Yes. Worth every euro? Also yes. Service was kind for this American non French speaking couple. The outdoor as well as indoor seating is lovely and service is timely. The food was so good. We had a morel mushroom appetizer special, the Sunday special roasted chicken and the duck confit. All delicious. Thanks to fellow Yelper who recalled this was an Obamas date night location!
A gem just 8 minutes from Eiffel Tower
A great Sunday meal with the family. Very quality food with good service and dessert to die for. A lovely specials board which had some creative twists on traditional French food. I would put it as a 4.5 star as the one drawback being that the seating is incredibly tight inside, and they could afford to space out the tables. Otherwise quality food quality service.
Omg what a lovely restaurant, classic French.
We sat outside on the wonderful veranda. Service and our meal was all spot on! My Poulet was delicious, perfectly cooked. Great location, just 10 a minute walk to Eiffel. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Authentic French cuisine
Love the food, service was great. They were very sensitive to possible food restrictions. We had the steak, done perfectly medium, duck was oily but tasted good and the escargot was πππ.
It's a pretty good place.
The food is decent and the service was really good. The desserts stood out.
La Fontaine de Mars represents the gold standard in
La Fontaine de Mars represents the gold standard in high-end bistro dining; here you'll find all of the tantalizing classics. Expensive but well worth it. The Obamas went here on a date night during a state visit. In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
Great food and good service! Reservation recommended! Try
Great food and good service! Reservation recommended! Try the snails and a bottle of wine.
Returning from the Rothko at the Vuitton, I headed straight
Returning from the Rothko at the Vuitton, I headed straight for this oasis of calm and authenticity. The choices were difficult until the waiter directed me to the carte de jour. Much appreciated. I relaxed in a nook for two with a fine view of the dining room bric a brac. Promptly he presented the daily special of braised beef cheeks with a glass of Brouilly. It was as good as I imagined it could be. That hour was a highlight of my trip.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to La Fontaine de Mars Paris at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the La Fontaine de Mars Paris page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at La Fontaine de Mars Paris to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at La Fontaine de Mars Paris!
