Guests consistently praise friendly, attentive service and the quality and freshness of food and coffee, with many noting generous portions and good value. The terrace and overall ambience are frequent highlights, and thoughtful hospitality adds a special touch to celebrations and daily visits. On the flip side, there are occasional comments about cleanliness in spots and a few cold dining areas due to the air conditioning, as well as some menu items not meeting expectations. Still, the mood across reviews remains positive, pointing to a charming oasis with dependable breakfast options and a variety of appealing dishes.
I enjoyed this location with my GF. I found the food to be of good quality & served quite quickly. I think our waiter was new at his job, so I don't blame him. I was however disappointed in the overall cleanliness of the restaurant in general. Specifically the floors, but mostly the giant cobwebs in the skylights. Overall a good, but not great experience. We need half stars...

I got married at Hotel St Sulpice 10 years ago, & did a brunch there. My wife & I went back with our baby, & they made our experience magical. Thank you 😊
Great ambience & menu options.
Knocking off one star since my eggs benedict was hardboiled ( they replaced them right away).
My replacement contained two large eggshells - hopefully not courtesy of an offended chef.
Restaurant was cold; most people had to move away from windows because the AC next to windows makes it impossible to sit there. The food is at medium to low quality considering the price. Staff at restaurant are friendly.
Magnifique expérience ! Avec 5 copines on est venu profiter de cette terrasse caché pour faire une suprise à une amie pour son anniversaire.
Le serveur qui nous a accueilli était très attentionné ! Il faisait très chaud ce jour là & on avait réservé pour 12h30 sur la terrasse en pleins soleil. Le serveur à remarqué qu'on crevais de chaud & nous a gentillement demandé si on voulait qu'il ferme les volets au dessus de nous pour avoir de l'ombre. Ça a sauvé notre brunch haha. La nourriture & les cocktails était excellents. Nous avons eu une serveuse & un serveur qui ont été super attentionnés envers nous sans être trop envahissants. Le meilleur c'est que nous étions seules sur la terrasse tout au long de notre brunch ! On avait blagué en disant qu'on avait privatisé la terrasse pour l'anniversaire de mon amie haha. Même s'il fermait la cuisine à 13h, nous sommes resté profiter des cocktails & de l'endroit pour prendre des photos ! Nous somme resté approximativement 2h30 & aucun serveurs nous a pressé à partir. Ils nous on même laissé prendre des photos sur les banquettes intérieur du restaurant !
Merci à la serveuse & au serveur d'avoir rendu ce moment spéciale encore plus spéciale !
On ne pouvait pas rêver de mieux pour un anniversaire ! 🫶🏽
Ate here every day for breakfast & some dinner. Very friendly service. Food is phenomenal. Ingredients are fresh & healthy with a great balance. Highly recommend!
We waltzed into this establishment on a whim for a few drinks. The kitchen wasn't open yet so we didn't have the opportunity to try their menu. The drinks however were excellent & the server was pleasant. 😎👍
