Rude service. We were having a fairly good time until we were basically kicked out to allow for someone else at our table. And then they had the nerve to ask for a tip. Seriously? Absolutely not. Typical pretentious gay bar. Go elsewhere.

A nice place for brunch. The service is pleasant, gentle and efficient! The pancake and avocado toasts are quite good. I recommend this brunch place for Sundays.

Nice place to stop by for a drink, and don’t forget the yummy shaved ice 🍧

Review from Google Maps

Le Cactus is predominately a bar, with wines, beers and cocktails. However, it is too noisy and a bit overpriced. But hey! It is Paris, after all. I found the loud, constant thumping noise inside unbearable. I could not wait to get outside. It may be music to some, but to me it is hideous noise. At least Le Cactus has a good location.

This place is terrible, don't bother. The food and drink were not good, and stuff is just overpriced for what it is.
