Delicious home made pasta - I had the wheat pasta with tomato basil and cheese and it was superb. Cheap and cheerful right next to the wonderful Jardín des Plantes.

I used to go often years ago and I was very happy to see nothing changed, neither the quality or service. I recommend strongly the place.

We were a party of eight. Our group ordered a variety of pasta dishes, salads and an omelet. We had a bottle of wine and several different desserts. All meals were very good, presented well and in a quiet atmosphere that was conducive to conversation.

We loved this restaurant! We booked well in advance but it was not busy on a Sunday evening. The food was excellent. The menu was not large but very interesting.

For starters we had cucumber with yoghurt and an asssiette de crudites but the main feature of the restaurant was its home-made pasta. My wife had chestnut pasta with duck and mushrooms; I had the barley pasta with salmon in a delicious creamy sauce with leeks. The desserts were special too: a chocolate tarte and a clafoutis. We had a half litre carafe of wine; following the waiter's recommendation we chose the lighter red and it was the right choice.

The waiter was helpful and efficient. The atmosphere was relaxed. We really enjoyed our visit.

It is located close to the Jardin des Plantes which is certainly worth a visit. The nearest metro stop is Jussieu.

My wife and I and four teenagers ate at Le Jardin des Pates last night after a very long day travelling from Canada to Paris and going to the Eiffel Tower. It turned to be a great experience. We were exhausted when we arrived, it was quiet with some nice jazz playing and our server was quiet but kind. We had a tasty beer with our decent pasta dishes and left happy. Would recommend for someone who needs a quick affordable meal.
