Food and service were amazing. I went three times during my three weeks stay in Paris and I can't wait to go back again. I thought the price was reasonable for the quality of the food .

Very small restaurant that has been around for what appears... ever. The food was out of this world and the duck confit ,escargot , my wife had a vegan dish and we devoured the French onion soup. Get there early to get your name on the list

Almost everyone we know said we had to visit La Jacobine while we were in Paris. So the morning when we were done with Musée d'Orsay and it was still early for lunch, we decided to walk over to the restaurant and see if we could get in without a reservation. Probably due to it being a weekday in October, there were only 2 small parties ahead of us in the line when we arrive around 1145 before they open at noon. We didn't have any problem getting in but the small restaurant filled up very quickly. I ordered the foie gras and duck confit. The foie gras was very good but I had the best duck confit I had ever had. The skin was crisp and the meat was tender. Every bite ignited all my taste buds even though they were partially numbed from the absinthe I had had as an aperitif. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful as well. He spoke Spanish to a visiting couple seated next to us. Because of that, "gracias" slipped out from me a few times inadvertently when I meant to say "merci". Lunch was so good that we didn't want to go out for dinner to cancel out lunch. We got a baguettes and more butter on the way back to our apartment at dinner time.

Best meal I had in France ! We had just stepped off the plane, exhausted and in need a hearty warm meal. We found ourselves here. After months of research (YouTube videos), I had seen the great reviews of this place. I got to experience it first hand, so now I can recommend this place! Also, the customer service here once seated was really good. If I ever find myself in France , I will be back !

I have been eying out La Jacobine to have Coq au vin. It's one of the dishes I wanted to make sure to try while in Paris. Knowing they open at 7pm. I left early so I could arrive around opening to dine early. The Metro had different plans for me. One leg of the Metro confused me. It confused me earlier in the day but I figured it wouldn't be that bad this time. Oh...it was and when I got to La Jacoline, I was told the wait time was till 10pm. Super disappointed but I have no back up plans and other good restaurants would be busy as well so I decided to wait it out. While waiting, I noticed they have 4 chairs right outside for customers to sit on. Fortunately I got one early and didn't have to pop the Asian squat. The restaurant is bright and cozy with a family atmosphere. I didn't want to be rude so I didn't ask if I could buy something to drink while I wait. My boredom got the better of me so I asked. They said it's fine! Yay! Something to do while waiting. So many people walked by the restaurant while waiting. I got to talk to some diners waiting to help kill some time which was nice. Alex was amazing because he squeezed me in and I got in around 9pm vs the original 10pm I was quoted. He provided exceptional customer service all night. When I got in, I knew my order. I ordered their Mille-Feuille De Foie Gras as an Entrees and the Coq Au Vin as my Plats. My drink was a bottle of bubbles. It was a nice paced meal to enjoy the food and conversation. Since I was alone, I made friends with the couple next to me. Small world, the female was from HI and also attended Kalani High. The food was amazing! Totally worth the wait and everything. I do highly recommend people to make reservations though.

Some of the best food I had in Paris! We came here for lunch on a weekday without a reservation and waited about 20 minutes for a table for 2. Be forewarned that this place is popular, and there's typically a wait! Food: - French Onion Soup: most people got this as a starter, and it did not disappoint! Salty rich broth with ooey gooey cheese on top, which really warmed up the soul from the rainy day outside! - Beef stew (Estouffade de Boeuf): Perfectly braised with soft tender beef in a delicious sauce! It comes with potatoes and vegetables. Highly recommend! Service/Atmosphere: It's down a side alley with other shops and restaurants. The restaurant is small, so expect to be in close quarters with other patrons. The bathroom is downstairs, and you have to go down this scary narrow spiral staircase. Service was friendly and nice though! Overall: Would definitely come back on my next trip to Paris!

This is in a super cute area; the restaurant is in a covered alley way with little shops and many other cute restaurants with patio seating. Service was excellent, and the waiter was very kind to non-French speaking patrons. We came in around 3:30 without a reservation and got seated within 5-10 min. I will start this review by saying I am not an expert on French food but based on the reviews we were excited to try escargot (for the first time!), coq au vin, and duck confit. All were excellent. I would say the escargot had the texture of mushrooms and was nicely flavored in a butter sauce and herbs and was pretty good. The waiter was kind enough to show us how to use the snail tongs and little fork! We also got the French onion soup was flavorful and I would certainly get it again. The duck confit which I've also never had before reminded me of Chinese duck but with different spices. It was cooked well and was great. The coq au vin was also good, very rich and tasted strongly of red wine, which is probably exactly what it's supposed to taste like, but it was just not my personal favorite. We finished off the lunch with a pot of tea, tarte tartin (a wonderful apple dessert) that melted in your mouth and served with a tart cream. Overall it was a great experience. We spent almost two hours here and loved the service, food, and atmosphere.

La Jacobine is a charming little spot tucked away in the Latin Quarter, and it was exactly what I was hoping for during my visit to Paris. The atmosphere is warm and intimate, with a cozy vibe that immediately makes you feel at home. I started with the Camembert cheese appetizer, which was absolutely delicious--creamy, rich, and perfectly paired with crusty bread. It was the kind of dish that instantly sets the tone for a great meal. For my main course, I had the duck confit. It was simply outstanding. The duck was cooked to perfection--crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The flavors were so well-balanced, and each bite was more satisfying than the last. To top it all off, I couldn't resist the tarte tatin for dessert. It was the perfect blend of sweet and tart, with caramelized apples that just melted in your mouth. Paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was a truly decadent way to end the meal. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, but never intrusive. It's clear that they care about their guests having a great experience. If you're looking for authentic French cuisine in a cozy, welcoming setting, La Jacobine is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Paris!

Lovely restaurant with meat forward / decadent saucy plates. From my experience eating French food thus far this place has large servings and more comforting styles food. I love the plats - most notably the wine beef stew and duck tajine with almonds and sweet creamy sauce. The lamb shank and duck fillets were also great. For the entrées, the foie gras and goat cheese salad were très bien! Dessert - tiramisu was alright since it was late night when we ordered and they made it just earlier so the cake have not soaked the coffee and rum. Cheesecake was good though. La Jacobine is in a small alleyway with a lot of other restaurants and bars and got lively in the evening. We had a reservation but had to wait another 30 mins to get in. The woman who served us was cheerful and attentive, which is rare to come by in Paris.

Hard to get a Ressie, but we waited in line and it was less than 30 minutes, BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT! The escargot was delicious and we almost ordered a second round of 6! The foie gras was delectable and super tasty. The Beef Stew and Coq Au Vin were both recommended and flavor packed and delicious! The french onion soup was solid too. Staff was pleasant and helpful and the vibe was a mix of locals and visitors. Highly recommend and would go back! Instagram Escargot in the fast lane of flavor!
