What people say

"Could not have had a nicer evening at La Fontaine de Mars! We had dinner on a Sunday and had the roasted chicken plat du jour and it was absolutely delicious. I will dream about it & those mashed potatoes. Leak starter was also good and the floating island dessert was so fun & tasty. Service was great as well. No complaints. I know this resturant is close to the Eiffel Tower & that usually means the food won’t good, but this place is an exception. I can’t wait to come back one day! Reservations can easily be made online."
