Fodor's Review:
To see what well-heeled Parisians like to eat these days, book a table at this chic little bistro run by Jacques Lacipière as soon as you get to town. The contemporary dining room is unusually comfortable, and the sidewalk tables have an Eiffel Tower view; the excellent, well-priced cuisine du marché has made this spot a hit. Typical of the sophisticated fare from chef Naobuni Sasaki are veal rib with a fricassee of wild mushrooms and green asparagus, roast lobster with mushroom risotto, and game in season. Homemade desserts could include citrus terrine with passion-fruit sorbet or caramelized apple mille-feuille with hazelnut ice cream. The EUR 27 lunch menu, featuring dishes with a distinct haute cuisine touch, must be one of the city's great bargains.

What A Find!
Posted by Shauna_Marbella from Marbella, Spain. on 6/10/09
On our first ever trip to Paris for 3 nights we were lucky enough to have our hotel concierge recommend this fabulous little bistro. It is 2 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower and if you sit outside you can have a very clear view of it. We chose inside - small, but in a lovely cosy, intimate way. The service is low-key but top notch. We had wonderful food, fresh and bursting with flavour, and at what we consider to be an excellent price for an authentic Bistro in this area. If you are not sure what to choose from the wine list help is readily available or you can order by the glass to go with each course and the waiter was wonderful in making sure exactly what our taste was and matching it. Will be back ASAP!
Excellent

We had a great dining experience at Au Bon Accueil. Service was friendly yet professional, and the food was simply wonderful. From the appetizers to dessert to the cheese plate, everything was simply fresh and delicious. In an area where you can find yourself in an overpriced and touristy restaurant, Au Bon Accueil is a foody destination, and good value for that kind of quality and taste.
top notch

in an area where you only find places catering to the tourists we found a "GEM".
Fantastic food, spectacular view, fair prices for the quality and exceptional service. I am going back to Paris in September and will make a point of dining here again.
Not Up to Snuff

Opening a bottle of wine out of view and without showing it to the customer before is unpardonable. There was pressure to take our dinner order before that same wine was tasted and poured. The food and prices were excellent, but the service was poor.
