Balthazar serves the type of traditional French bistro meal that is difficult to find in Paris anymore. Each dish is delicious and perfectly executed. There is also an exceptional raw seafood bar. Luckily for parents, the buzz in Balthazar is loud enough, and the atmosphere casual enough, that kids won't be noticed. Note though, that tables are small and there's not much room for kids to stretch.
Our favorite items include the French Onion Soup, Steak Frites, and any of the delicious salads
Older kids will enjoy star sightings (especially during brunch or late at night)
Balthazar Bakery (next door) has a variety of Salads, Sandwiches, and Pasteries available for takeaway or delivery
