We happened to choose Café des Marronniers, but we might as well have been at any of the other 3, each with different names, but occupying 4 corners of an imaginary square. The food, service and menus are oriented toward the tourists who crowd the beautiful park on warm days. All serve light meals, including perfectly acceptable hot dishes, plus drinks, coffee and ice cream desserts. Service is completely pleasant and friendly. Not to be confused with a real restaurant, but neither are these American-style snack bars.For a lunch or afternoon tea in the sun, well worth trying.

It was a large portion though. I don't know how the French feel about splitting a plate, but we could have! Would highly recommend.

It was a pleasant day and the cafe was open and airy. Friendly service and pleasant environment. I had the standard baguette rustica with a Cola Cola. You just have to love the food here - great bread, tasty ham and cheese and an under layer of butter. I added a small amount of local mustard. A very pleasant lunch. And coffee afterwards of course

Although the tables weren't joined, I was about 4 inches away from them I didn't mind, but she never asked them if they did! Food came out quickly. It was just a burger and fries it was like a posh fast food place. The burger was OK. Nothing special, it as a bit pricey €18 for what it was. I had to out my nag on the floor and it's now covered in dust from the park.

We had ordered burger and some their specialty with cheeses. Although the burger was typical for Paris, good enough, the meal with cheeses was really great.
