"I hope the owner or manager of this restaurant reads this review. I visited this restaurant Saturday, February It was very late, and I believe the kitchen was closed when we were seated. The hostess kindly offered to take our order, but soon...realized that the kitchen was literally closed and there was no way to take our order. We were fine because they were kind enough to offer us a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with fires and salad. The ham and cheese, and fries were great, but I could not eat the salad. The hostess was preparing our food, but she did so with no regard to and food safety standards. I could see into the food prep area where our ham and cheese sandwiches were being prepared, and where the salad was stored. The hostess was handling cash and touching just about everything in the restaurant just before she added the salad onto our plate. I PERSONALLY WITNESSED HER GRAB THE SALAD FROM A CONTAINER WITH HER BARE HANDS AND PLACE IT ON OUR PLATES...I was repulsed. It’s very important for everyone in a restaurant to stay in their lane. If you are going to take an order, and you are not the chef, wash your hands or let someone whose hands are clean to prep the plate. I wouldn’t mind a chef that is only handling food to touch my food with their bare hands, but this woman was literally trying to close the restaurant and handle food. As a restaurant owner, you must always maintain certain level of food safety standards! If your are going to be kind enough to fill the order, be respectful enough to value my safety. I saw you grab the salad with your bare hands and place it on my plate...I also saw you touch everything in the restaurant just before you handled my food. You knew you were lowering the standard when you handled my food with your dirty hands. I was embarrassed for you, and probably should have said something, but was partly torn, because you managed to still prepare something for us to eat. In retrospect I do regret not saying anything. I’m not very picky. I realize that some dishes are not going to be the very best, but I do expect you to respect my health and safety by maintaining high food safety standards. And this is where you failed. I can’t judge your entire restaurant, but I do believe that your were in high ranks at the restaurant. Unfortunately, if you have poor standards, you probably don’t expect much from your staff. They were all very nice people, but high standards begins with the top. I hope you reflect on that evening and think hard about why you jeopardized my health and safety. I would never eat here again, and strongly caution anyone that decides to eat at Marcel."

Really cool and fresh food. Close to the subway. Their burger is really amazing but I really go there for the salad bowls.

Not much in this neighborhood, close to the train station. Typical sidewalk cafe, somewhat Americanized menu. Busy street, good people watching. We wanted a simple meal, had the burger...hey French people eat them, too. Tasty and fun.

On our way to the National Library we entered Chez Lili et Marcel for a small lunch. A very interesting restaurant, with a lot of antique bits and pieces. This restaurant has been a butchery before. Pleasant service. We had a Tapas à partager and...a Veloute some coffee. Enjoyed this visit.

Dropped in for quick meal before concert at Bercy. I was surprised by the quality of the food. OK it was just a burger but it was cooked medium rare as ordered fries were home made. Duck dish was also well prepared. Quality ice cream....Impressed by the rapidity and positive attitude of the waitress. Wine list is easy huge glass of beaujolais for I would return if in the neighborhood. Terrace is noisy we dined inside cool and quiet. View menu

We found this place on Yelp when we had a long wait for a train at Gare du Lyon. We were tired, hungry, and hot. We had delicious hamburgers, but the best thing was the Coin-Coin Salad (duck salad) which was amazing! Fall off the...bone tender duck, deliciously seasoned potatoes, fresh greens, and a delicious large egg roll. The staff was very friendly and brought us drinks and food very quickly. We would definitely recommend this place!

Was in Paris for hours. Ate here more than once because the Lili Bowl was STUPENDOUS for vegetarian me. Since I don't eat fish they kindly left the tuna and salmon out. It looked so good and was so good that my sister told...me she wanted to return to the restaurant the following day because she wanted to order the Lili Bowl with the fish. Then....we booked a table for because our friends from Australia were in town to meet us for a meal and it was again simply perfect. This time people got the Lili Bowl. Seriously. The hospitality was extraordinary! We don't speak French and they worked alongside us to make the reservation and with our ordering. Prompt, tasty, visually appealing and comfort...
