Café Ventura in Paris

"Great local little gem for breakfast with some of the better coffee. Croissants are some of the best we had in Paris (and we had quite a few). The Intercontinental breakfast is recommended. Bread and omelette were both very tasty as well. Seating outside weather permitting is another plus. Definitely a repeat. . Bread and omelette were"

"When you think Parisian café Café Ventura is it. Its coffee is perfection. The waiters are friendly and helpful. We visit here every time we are in Paris. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner."

"The waiters were lovely and really friendly! We ordered the special and it was a gorgeous shared Ribeye cooked to perfection. Really recommend!"

"It’s 2021. My sister and I are in Paris for a long weekend, wandering the city with no real plan other than to soak it all in. At some point, though, the romance of strolling cobblestone streets turns into hours of aimless walking, desperately trying to find somewhere, anywhere that’s still serving food. We were probably looking in all the wrong places, but at the time it felt like the entire city had decided to close its kitchens just for us. Hungry, exhausted, and just a little bit grumpy, we look up and see a man standing outside a small restaurant. He looks warm and welcoming, like someone who might just save the day. We walk up to him and, almost pleading, ask if they’re still serving food. He smiles and says yes. Pure joy. We sit down, still riding that wave of relief, and ask for the best vegetarian dish he has. A few minutes later, he brings out the most mouthwatering ravioli I have ever seen (see photo). It was delicate, perfectly sauced, rich but not heavy every bite somehow better than the last. Five years later, my sister and I still talk about that dish. It has become the standard by which we measure every meal. We’ve agreed it was the best thing we’ve ever eaten, and we’re convinced nothing will ever top it. Maybe no one cares about my opinion on a plate of ravioli from a Paris restaurant. But I had to tell someone. Some meals are just food. And some feel like a moment suspended in time, where exhaustion turns into relief, and relief turns into something unforgettable. If I could wish for one thing, it would be the recipe. Just once more, I’d love to recreate those delicate flavors and be transported back to that little table in Paris."

"We came here on our last night in paris and were greeted by a server named Cedric who was extremely welcoming, kind and helpful. we explained that we wanted to try some authentic french food before going home and he took the time to go through the menu and highlight all of his favourites, tell the stories behind the dishes and made some excellent recommendations. really great service!"

"Stopped for breakfast while exploring Montmartre. I speak some basic French but my husband doesn't, and we noticed the waitress was very impatient through their interactions. There wasn't much people for breakfast time. The food was good, nothing out of the ordinary but I could taste they use high quality ingredients."

"Stopped by to have some coffee which was very good. The staff is extremely friendly. The vibe of the restaurant is very Parisian, so if you want to get the authentic feels, you can try out this place. The location is also very good."

"It was our first time visiting Paris, and while walking through Montmartre, we stopped at Café Ventura. What an unforgettable evening! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Cedric took great care of us we truly felt at home. Once we're back in Paris, we will definitely return! Merci!"
