Cafe du Commerce

With excellent Parisian food, and a (surprisingly) warm Parisian atmosphere, the Cafe du Commerce is nicely situated just far enough away from the Eiffel Tower to be slightly off the beaten track.

 Good food at an accessible price

Mouth watering meats, fresh sea food and french fries made with freshly cut potatoes are just a few of the many delicious options on the menu. 

This is a great place for escargot if you are a fan or simply just curious to give it a try. 

On Tuesday October 25, the daily seafood special was scallops with wild mushroom risotto and grilled vegetables.  Delicious! 

The price range is also quite affordable.  Count on spending 20-50 Euros per person for a two course meal with a glass of wine.

Return to the Annees Folles

The Cafe du Commerce was founded in 1921, and the 1920s atmosphere still reigns without being kitsch or drowning in nostalgia.  The lighting is warm and golden, the floors are tiled and the servers wear long aprons like the garcons of the past.   During the daytime all three floors of the restaurant receive natural light through a beautiful glass roof. 

I recommend this address to Parisians looking for a good French meal, or anyone curious about traditional French cuisine.  But come hungry!  The meals here are copious and doggy-bags are not a tradition in France!
