  We left LAX at 2:30 p.m., arrived in Paris at 9:30 a.m., and our hotel room was not ready when we arrived. So, we needed something to do. How about a glass of wine and a small bite to eat while relaxing while people watching and admiring beautiful views? La Chaumiere is the place for that.
  
  I know, I know. I've read the other reviews. But our purpose, La Chaumiere did the trick. We sat outside and enjoyed the late morning breeze while enjoying a glass or two of Sancerre and a bowl of French onion soup. And yes, I understand that it is totally cheesy to order French onion soup within two hours of being in the country, but I did it. Shoot me.
  
  The wine was refreshing, and the soup was the best I ever had. It was a deep, rich broth with a bunch of baguette slices and cheese. How could it be bad? Especially when I realized that the best baguettes in the world are in Paris. My daughter's Nutella crepe was gobbled up with few issues.
  
  Were the servers overly polite? No. But they weren't rude, either. They just did their job.
  
  So for our purpose, La Chaumiere was perfect.

  This restaurant was average. Nothing too lavish! The view is great! We chose this place because of their advertised mussels on the board! It came in a huge pot, good enough for two people, but can definitely be eaten by one!

  I stopped by this cute bistro for some coffee and dessert. It has outside and inside seating just across the bridge from Notre Dame. There happened to be a street performer playing french music nearby with his accordion which was a nice touch.
  
  I ordered a Cafe Americano and Creme Brulee. The coffee was as you would expect and was about 3 Euros. The Creme Brulee was excellent. It was about 7 Euros which wasn't bad considering a lot of other restaurants in Paris charge close to 12 Euros.
  
  The only downside is there is only one bathroom for both men and women and ironically there was a line.

  We dined in La Chaumiere last year, the manager was very nice as he was this time.  I enjoyed the coq au vin @ that time. We went back the other day, what a disappointment! The waitress was awful!  She was rude & completely inattentive!  I ordered a glass of Bordeaux ,she brought me a glass of wine that probably had been opened days ago because  it tasted awful.  She brought me a new glass & said they opened a new bottle & she was not going to change it again in a nasty way!  It wasn't necessary for her to say that, she never came back again which was fine with me!  The Coq au vin was almost  inedible it was so fat & disgusting, I'm not even sure it was chicken, & frankly,  I don't want to know!!!
  
  Nous avons dîné à La Chaumière l'année dernière, le responsable était très gentil comme il l'était cette fois-ci.  J'ai eu un super coq au vin à cette époque.  Nous sommes rentrés l'autre jour, quelle déception!  La serveuse était affreuse!  Elle était impolie et complètement inattentive!  J'ai commandé un verre de Bordeaux, elle m'a apporté un verre de vin qui avait probablement été ouvert il y a quelques jours parce que c'était horrible.  Elle m'a apporté un nouveau verre et a dit qu'ils avaient ouvert une nouvelle bouteille et qu'elle n'allait pas le changer encore une fois!  Ce n'était pas nécessaire pour elle de dire ça, elle n'est jamais revenue ce qui me convenait!  Le Coq au vin était presque immangeable, tellement gras et dégoûtant, je ne suis même pas sûr que ce soit du poulet, et franchement, je ne veux pas savoir !!!

  My husband and I came here out of desperation. Having already walked all around Paris and then to two other restaurants we wanted to have dinner at (both were closed), we opted to sit outside at La Chaumiere because we were tired and hungry.  I'm usually skeptical of restaurants that have pretty views on a tourist street (I'm more of a finding a hidden gem type of girl), so I had pretty low expectations here.  
  
  My hubbie and I are vegetarians so we tried the ravioli app (which was actually pretty decent) and the awful penne with watered down sauce.  
  
  One of the best things about traveling for me is trying delicious food in a new city.  I would skip this and try for a place with better food which may not have a beautiful view of the bridge.
