Perfectly situated for people watching and great lunch salads. Highly recommend the blanc de poulet. Under the covered alley with beautiful columns and place des Vosges on one sode, gorgeous art galleries on the other. Salads/lunches not cheap but really really good and some of what you are paying for is the atmosphere. Did not do dinner, just lunch. Also... More

We ended up here by chance and decided to have a quick dinner. We had 1 course each and it was very good. We were able to sit outside because of the outdoor heaters. The service was very good and friendly. Really enjoyed the food. I would definitely recommend this place.

This has become a favorite place to stop when we are near the Place des Vosges in the afternoon for "tea time." We love their hot chocolate and mini-macarons. The best deal is the "Heure de Thé" - (listed toward the back of the menu) 12 Euros for a drink of your choice and a pate of 5 macarons. The... More

I always go to Carette for hot chocolate as it is another where you can enjoy a nice one. The pastry is also good but nothing special. I hope the place would not become with time another tourist trap ! Not good for lunch but a stop by for a coffee or afternoon tea is good

Come early for lunch, get a table and ENJOY! We were up early to go to the top of Eiffel Tower and so it was after 11 am when we were up to the Trocadero. We choose the Carette for brunch and what an experience! C'est formidable! The service from Alexandria and all the staff was extremely courteous, dedicated and... More

The food was delicious, service quick and friendly, nice to sit outside and people watch. The food was beautifully presented and there is an array... More

We had a lovely Sunday brunch at Carette, Place des Vosges. It was a lovely spring day and the place was bustling but were were seated quickly and the service was attentive and efficient. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and altho it was pricey, the ambience and charm more than made up for it. I will be happy to... More

We went to the Place des Vosges branch of Carette on a Sunday. Positives were the simply lovely location and premises, delicious hot chocolate (with a bowlful of whipped cream on the side) which my partner ordered and the simply stunning house speciality hazelnut eclair which I had. Also, they were happy to serve us just with coffee and cakes,... More

My Parisian friend took me here to be impressed by the macarons! This is an easy place for non-French speakers because they can see all of the pastries and macarons in the display and then sit at a table. Yes 7 euros for a pot of tea is HIGH to accompany the macarons but the waiter was more friendly than... More
