For me, a visit to Angelina's was the highlight of my weekend in Paris. The hot chocolate is to die for, and I had a plate of mini macarons to go with it... and went back the next day for more macarons. Absolutely superb. My French is rather poor but the staff were very polite and understanding despite the restaurant... more

I've been to Angelina's over 5 times and at different times of the day. Some days the service is spot on, other times its not quite up to par. Angelina's is well listed in guidebooks and in travel magazine, mostly known for its hot chocolate. Yes, get the hot chocolate, but don't ignore the lunch menu either. I had a... more

Ate here after reading reviews in many places. Nice atmosphere if you are near the front but if you are at the back of the tea room you could quite frankly be anywhere - found ok but overpriced. My husband had the famous hot chocolate, which he said was nice and like drinking pure chocolate but price at almost 7... more

As a big fan of good chocolate, I simply had to check this place out. I went at 2 pm to avoid the crowds I'd read about. The place was still full, but the wait was only about ten minutes. I found the service to be friendly and attentive, and when the big moment came to taste the hot chocolate,... more

We visited Angelina for lunch after reading reviews here. Our daughters aged 6 & 9 both love hot chocolate so we thought we'd treat them. However, the famous Africana's were too rich for them. However, my wife & I loved them. At around 7 euros each we drank the kids ones too! My tip would be to try one before... more

I have been to Paris several times. Born in France, speak the language. I had even been to this place before. We went to Angelina for breakfast Sunday morning before a trip to the Louvre. What a mistake. I don't know why the staff decided to be downright mean to the guests, but they did. Horrible slow service, overpriced food... more

The hot chocolate is very good, but the Mont Blanc cake is like everywhere else. My wife and I arrived at the café at 6:50PM, the waiters were on a bad mood and served us in a reckless way, because they close the door at 7 and be sure that they may throw you from the door!!! more

This place is wonderful! The service was superb, the decor in ther restaurant had an old world feel with high ceiligs and frescos and the food was delicious. My first time there I had the steak tartare and it was delicous, the mix of herbs and spices helped cover the thought that you were eating raw meat. I highly recommend... more

Sorry to be the black sheep, but I did not like the chocolat Africains. I love hot chocolate but it had a bit of a mocha flavor. Gave it to my grandson, he loved it. Excellent pastry though. It was a very hot day when we were there, and no air conditioning made it stiffling inside. Overall, a nice place... more

We managed to get into Angelina before the line was out the door. They seated us and were very kind about finding a place for our pushchair. We had sandwiches, cafe creme and tried the famous Mont Blanc - my goodness is that rich! The staff there do not/will not speak English - but were very accomodating. Would I go... more
