  This restaurant was conveniently located right below our hotel in Paris and my mom and I came here for wine and oysters during dinner time. Although the place was busy, we were seated within minutes. We ordered The oyster sheller's platter which came with 8 oysters and bread and although we only came for appetizers we were quite full! Our server was very friendly and our experience was pleasant!

  As places to eat before getting on a train go, this isn't too bad. The mirrors and brass, and uniformed waiters go some way to recapturing the glamour of travel; the food is good, but not quite hitting the same pitch as more modern French restaurants in which Paris abounds. Still, if you're after a bit of ballast before a long train journey ( which you're happy sleeping through), you could do a lot worse than a lunch here ( think French onion soup or a terrine , a plate of oysters, then perhaps the choucroute- maybe a carafe of something?). The iles-flottante is also pretty spectacular. A wider range of opening hours than many other restaurants and bistro.

  I was pushing it a bit, going for a coffee before tackling the challenge of going through UK border control, but I had to have something before jumping on the Eurostar. This place wasn't all that flashy, and it was a little slow. The other thing is that the table service annoys me because I do like having a nosey inside. Still, I got my coffee, which really wasn't all that fantastic anyway. However, it worked out okay. The place is convenient, but not really that fantastic.

  I've been eating at Terminus Nord for over 30 years and thankfully very little has changed over that time.
  
  Terminus Nord is a classic French brasserie and has a menu that doesn't change much from season to season apart from the amazing fresh seafood and shellfish served during months with a "r" in them.
  
  I started with 6 escargots which same swimming in garlic butter. This was followed by an amazing Dover Sole which was massive, very tasty and very fresh. My companions enjoyed the classic French onion soup and a plateau de fruits de mer.
  
  The wine list is extensive and reasonable and the service very professional.
  
  I hope that Terminus Nord continues as is, and resists the temptation to change. It's terrific the way it is.

  My brother in law recommended this little gem as he was taking a train from London to meet us for lunch. It's a classic french brasserie and a perfect place next to the Eurostar. Inside was dark wood/leather, white tablecloths and crystal chandeliers. They had a great menu with a nice prix fixe lunch menu. I ordered oysters for my starter and the sole. Both were amazing. We had a beautiful chardonnay to go with it and with four people the price was only about 30 euro each.
  
  If you are in the neighborhood it's definitely a perfect place for a classic French meal!
