La Barge du CROUSC-
Quai François Mauriac, Port de la Gare, 75013 Paris, France
· Restaurant, Coffee shop, Self service restaurant
· Chinatown
Ultra-budget student canteen on a Seine barge: unbeatable prices and river views, basic food, and inconsistent service; come for value and setting, not refinement.
Our take
La Barge du CROUS delivers exceptional value and a genuinely distinctive setting on the Seine, but food quality remains inconsistent and basic, while service tone is frequently brusque. The river views and unique barge location elevate the experience beyond typical cafeteria fare, making it worth visiting for budget-conscious diners seeking atmosphere—just not for culinary reliability.
One caveat: Service tone can be brusque; several reports of rudeness during rushes
