Tabac de l’Assemblée

Tabac de l’Assemblee is located near the Assemblee in the 7^th…
From the downstairs, this «tabac» looks like nothing special. Peek at the prices on their menu, and you might question it even more. Once inside, you’ll have to climb up the stairs to reach actual restaurant level, which is actually quite nice and fairly modern by Paris standards.
We were in for a late lunch after wandering around. Luckily we were seated pretty quickly. Our waitress did speak some English, but I got by w/​my broken French.
I ordered a duck confit while my dining partner wanted to try the beef tartar. While I’ve had better of both dishes, both were still pretty good. The prices are a bit steep, but you’re paying to eat next to what seems like a busy neighborhood of upper-​middle class. I believe my formule was about 21 euros for a plate + dessert (caramel crème was quite good actually)
Only docking a 4 star review due to price.

C’est juste un troquet, un bar tabac banal avec un comptoir et des tables en bois. Mais n’ouvre pas tôt ferme tôt. Bien pour le café du matin et pour aller gratter des billets de loterie. Je né suis jamais monté un premier étage.

Je n’y ai fait qu’un petit déjeuner dans le salon du deuxième étage et c’était sympa et tranquille…

Tabac de l’Assemblee is a nice café with multiple floors near the National Assembly but far enough off the beaten path that it’s not filled with tourists. Many locals seem to come here especially on the first floor where there is a counter dining experience, as well as some grab and go type of items.
Our poor waiter here was nice enough but would get frustrated with us because of the language barrier. Nothing against him or the restaurant though as I completely understand this.
I had the croque madame for 9 euros which is an amped up Croque Monseiur with an egg on top. Mmmm! Liked it quite a bit and after having it at a few places, I much preferred it here. I did find that 9 euros for this sandwich was a bit more pricey than at other cafes. My table also shared a French Onion Soup Gratinee for 8.50 euros and we liked it quite a bit. Amstel 25cl was 4.10 euros and Leffe 25cl was 5.40 euros.
My friends and I had a lovely time here, had some brews, decent food, nothing to complain of but wouldn’t make this a destination spot.

À deux pas de l’Assemblée Nationale, ce petit immeuble né paye pas de mine de l’extérieur mais quand on rentre et qu’on gravit les trois étages, on se rend compte de la taille du bâtiment, on profite aussi de la décoration intérieure qui pose un cadre chic.
La cuisine est bonne avec des plats simples très bien assaisonnés, le choix est suffisant en plats comme en vin. Mais le tout reste assez cher…

On dirait un bistrot, et c’en est un. Mais c’est aussi un restaurant, et beaucoup plus grand qu’il n’y paraît de prime abord. Car si la petite salle du rez-​de-​chaussée de paye pas de mine, il y a en plus deux étages assez vastes, auxquels il faut ajouter trois salons particuliers. qui sont bien pratiques. La cuisine né propose que du classique. C’est bon sans être exceptionnel et, du coup, un peu cher pour ce que c’est. D’autant que l’addition grimpe vite avec le vin. Bön point, le personnel est sympa.
