Definitely off the tourist track We appeared to be one of 2 tables in the totally full restaurant that wern't locals Value packed menu with many choices in each category Loved that the cheese board was left on your table for you to attack on your own Lots of offbeat choices on wine list Our best michelin bib gourmand meal...

Encouraged by the favorable reviews here and elsewhere, we just had Sunday lunch here. The self-serve table of crudites and some other appetizers/bread was old-school and fine. The cheeseboard was non-existent (only mozzarella and brie on appy table.) Other dishes were a slice of smoked salmon on a leaf of wilted green on bread; something that may have been tarama,... More

A real gem, lovely fresh well cooked food at a reasonable price. Nice friendly helpful staff would highly recommend as a taste of real French cooking in relaxed surroundings

lovely fresh regional french dishes, a superb cheese board, from which i have discovered the delightful dessert cheese "regal de bourgogne", a grand selection of reasonably priced wine, helpful staff, convivial atmosphere and prices (by parisian standards) that are not going to hurt too much, you couldn't ask for much more from a backstreet bistrot near the eurostar gard du...

So you think it is impossible to eat well within five minutes walk of a major rail terminus? Think again. Good, simple, rustic food and a great atmosphere. But be warned - if you go in in evening you need to be hungry. They only do a 3 course formule for 32 euro of starter, main course and dessert, plus... More

I was pleasantly surprised by Chez Casimir. It's tucked away off one of the busy streets and within walking distance to Gare du Nord. It has a lively neighborhood vibe to accompany the tasty classic French fare. La formule (fixed price menu) diner is perfect for the weary traverler as it includes an entree, plat, fromage and dessert. I would... More

Our relatives who live in Paris took us to this place. It is GREAT. And it is open on Sunday afternoons - many things are closed on Sunday in Paris which I love, but sometimes you need to go out to meet friends and this is a great place. There is a salad bar in the middle of the place... More

Excellent small restaurant, in the old style, with well-priced Formules, good wine list and friendly service. Worth reserving, even for solo dining. Very handy for Gare du Nord but miles away in quality from the usual over-priced tourist traps. Helps a lot to speak French. House wines straight from the cask, and cheap. Food plentiful, and delicious.

I took my daughter to Paris a couple of weeks ago and stayed in a B & B who recommended this restaurant - what a favour they did us! I love France and French food but like anywhere else, the restaurants often disappoint. Not Chez Casimir. This is a totally charming example of a no-fuss little restaurant which is all... More
