For us, Le Ragueneau was a port in the storm, a rain storm. On our way to the Louvre, it made a convenient stop for a quick bite before starting our day. In truth we were searching for Gosselin Boulangerie, that I had read made the best baguettes in the city, but couldn't find it. Time was awasting and Le Ragueneau was there, so we walked in and sat down. No service within the first 10 minutes lead us to believe that it was bar service, so I walked up to the cashier, waited in line, and was told that the waitress would take our order at the table.
Back to the table, we placed our order within a few more minutes and waited. The napkin caught our attention and subsequently I discovered that the bistro was located in the very place where the friend of Cyrano de Bergerac, Ragueneau, owned a bakery. Up until the Google search I had thought them both fictional characters.
We received our petit dejeuner and it was adequate but a bit pricey for 9 euro. The comfort of being out of the rain was well worth the cost and the slow service was actually beneficial to our particular need. After reading more about this bistro, a return trip to try the first floor dining room may be a better bet.
