Was hoping to return for a meal. Stopped in here one late afternoon between lunch and dinner service. But they were nice enough to let us sit inside and enjoy a glass of wine and a cheese plate. The kitchen was closed. This restaurant has a decent amount of inside seating and sidewalk seating that hugs the building. Limited English, but very nice. read more

Au Bon Coin - Snack time - Wine Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

Located in the beautiful, trendy neighborhood of Montmatre with a locals' kind of feel. We were probably the only tourists there and there was no English menu available. However, with some French vocabulary under my belt and with the help of Google translate, I was able to navigate the menu and successfully place our orders. --- The food: Our escargots here are baked without their shells and with all the escargots I've ever had, it was buttery, garlicky, and delicious! We also ordered steak and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. My duck confit was cooked impressively well. The duck meat was tender, juicy, and fell right off the bone. Whereas, the duck skin was crispy and was a great contrasting, textural component to the dish. --- If you want to have a meal cooked well and desire to stray away from the touristy areas, this is the place to go! read more

3years after or last visit we came back. We were beyond excited when we realized we would be in the Monte Marte long enough to visit Au Bon Coin again. On our last trip it was our favorite meal, on this trip it was amazing as well. We might have been the only people in the restaurant who weren't from the neighborhood. Everyone seemed to know everyone and there is a lovely park next door that our son absolutely loved before and after. The food and service is just welcoming and friendly. The menu is small enough that they can execute everything perfectly. This time we had the roast beef with home made sauce and roasted potatoes. The duck was also great! For desert we had a fig and apple tart. It was moist and not too sweet. Can't wait to return again. read more

Nice Bistro, a stone throw away from my place.Great outdoor sitting, service is typical Parisian executed by well mannered Ladies. Good blend of artsy type of locals, with kids running around. Food is spot on at very reasonable prices, this has become one of my fave neighborhood hangouts... read more

I had a solid, but unspectacular dinner here. The service was extremely friendly. And the ambiance is old school. Hardly a tourist in sight. Three course dinner with two glasses of wine was an affordable 35 euros or so. I had the seafood pate, which I really enjoyed. It was a whole piece of fish with potatoes and salad. I also had the duck confit. It was very tasty and cooked perfectly but a tad too salty. The clafoutis was served cold, rather than warm, and not the best texture. But the flavors were spot on. read more

Was hesitant to write a review about this place because I don't want it to become flooded with tourists but I think that would be unfair. This is possibly one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. You will not see a single tourist and the FOH staff do not speak any English which just adds to the whole experience. The menu changes daily but typically they always have duck confit and rilletes. Order those two things. read more

We headed here our first evening in Paris as it was really close to our hotel, and another yelper had said we'd be the only tourists there, so off we went! Our waitress brought over a chalkboard with lots of lovely French sounding delights, very little of which we could understand and she couldn't speak much English. Thankfully a lady at the table next to us helped us out because we were getting nowhere fast... The food itself was excellent. I went for steak with caramelised shallots and roast potatoes and a desperado (who knew they were French?!) but getting that and not wine seemed to be a bit of an issue with the waitress, but I got there in the end! The portions were quite big and everything was really tasty. I got a creme brûlée too because, well, France. I'd highly recommend this place if you have a better understanding of French than we did, it felt like a place well loved by locals. read more

We Yelped. We ate. We [really] enjoyed. Wow, our meal was pretty good. We went with a group of 5 and tried different kinds of plates, like we always do. The beef tartar was to die for, soooo yummmmy. The duck was crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. We always wash down with a salad - this time a leek salad drizzled with a light sweet vinegar'y dressing and coupled with a thick hollandaise(?) sauce over a hard-boiled egg. We also tried a couple of beef plates, covered over creamy mushroom. Mmm, mmm, good. Thanks for having us. read more

Best duck I've ever had, hands down, but unusual service to say the least. After a few frustrating meals with a language barrier (we didn't know French, they didn't know English), we were happy to find Au Bon Coin in the neighborhood we were staying. Staff was friendly and patient with our ordering and food came out quickly. Hands down this was the best duck I've ever eaten, if you see it as a daily special, get it! The only oddity was that at the close of our meal, before we went up to get our check, but after we were done with our food and finishing our wine (we had about a half bottle left), we were asked to move from our seats, which was adjoining a larger table, to a smaller 2-seat table in the back. We figured out that were asked to do this to make room for a larger party coming in. Asking someone to move seats mid meal for another party would be rude and off-putting in America, but since this was my first time in Paris, I'm not sure if this is common in cafes'... or maybe they just do this to Americans to make room for a local??? In any case, we got the hint, and quickly finished and left read more

Beautiful confit du canard and roasted potatoes! we also ordered the steak and scalloped potatoes and it was also amazing. Highly recommend if you want some french classics! Price was quite cheaper than paris average, which made the meal even more worthwhile. read more

Pros: This restaurant has the best duck I've had! The portion sizes are very generous and the duck and potatoes were seasoned and cooked well. This was the first meal I had for my first time in Paris and I'm very satisfied with my choice. Other members at my table had the fish (salmon) and they were very satisfied with how thick and meaty the salmon portion was and how delicious the sauce was. Cons: The host and staff don't speak English, but they were still able to take our orders. Also, the menu is hand-written on a large chalk board and we weren't able to read some of the choices except for fish (poisson) and duck (canard). There is beef and a type of salad dish, but again, it was not readable for us. I wouldn't consider this a con because the service was smooth and efficient even with the language barrier. At the end of the day, I will definitely come back to Au Bon Coin for another meal in Paris. It seems very popular among the locals, so you know the food is really good. It's a great place for a relaxing, intimate dinner date or for lively conversation with a group. You won't go wrong if you choose this place! read more

our first sit down meal in Paris & was not disappointed in the least! Had 6 escargot but should have ordered a dozen.Grilled lamb excellent; not many options for my vegetarian daughter but she was happy with the ouef mayonnaise & scamming off my potatoes , green beans & creme brulee dessert :) Very reasonably priced & mere minutes from our apartment. read more

Au Bon Coin - Beef and duck leg - Wine Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

We heard about this little gem from our foodie friends in Phoenix, AZ so we decided to try it. So easy to book a reservation online at trip advisor. We made dinner plans at 9pm last night and we were so happy to do so. We got the pumpkin soup, I got the pork chop and my partner got the steak. The steak came with these amazing mashed potatoes that were the best we ever had. We finished the meal with an amazing cream/ice cream dessert. We also had a great syrah. The food was amazing! But the staff made it even better. Theo was our waiter and was so attentive and friendly. We also were so impressed and enjoyed to talk to the manager, Emilee. She was so funny and made our experience so memorable. Don't miss this great place! read more

Excellent for lunch. Attentive service with a pleasant demeanour. Yummy food. Wouldn't hesitate to go again. Value for money and beautiful interior. Definitely try this out. Free of tourists which was nice. read more

An exceptional neighborhood bistro with great-tasting food and wines to match. This place makes one feel like a local and not a tourist, perhaps because locals outnumber the tourists. Until that changes, and it will because of great reviews, enjoy true French cuisine. Most of our family had the duck confit (recommended by a stateside friend) and it did not disappoint. It was done to perfection and tasted heavenly. The sauce was tasty and the meat was fork-tender yet with a crispy crust. They served enough great tasting potatoes that would feed an Irish army which we could not finish (and I always try). One daughter had a generous portion of salmon which had a very tasty sauce. The starters were tremendous as well. I had the herring which was outstanding. My grandson had such a large bowl of mussels I thought he would never get through but he did with gusto. My granddaughter had potatoes which were so embarrassingly voluminous we all took some only to be reminded by the charming server we were getting potatoes with our duck. The escargot was divine. The wine I selected was not available but the suggested replacement was superb. An absolutely great restaurant with great food at reasonable prices for Paris standards. Wherever you stay in Paris, take an Uber to this bistro for a remarkable meal. read more

I am not an expert, but we thoroughly enjoyed this very local Montmartre restaurant. The service was fantastic. Our waitress spoke excellent English which saved her the agony of my horrible French. The ratatouille was superb, as were the escargot and confit. We would return again for the food and service. There did not appear to be any other tourists around... read more

I absolutely love this place. All the locals come here and there is usually a line, but it's worth the wait if you want a good home cooked French meal. They also have fancy things like foie gras and escargot, but if you want just chicken and potatoes or fish and potatoes, etc. this is the place to go. Their homemade foie gras is also really good. I'm not a foie gras fan, but I liked it here. You won't be disappointed! read more

A very buzzy place, full of locals, not tourists. Menu is on a blackboard brought to your table. Bistro and wine bar, so long list of wines by the glass, only 3,20 euros each. I had crudites (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, beets, with some salad dressing) and duck confit with potatoes. My daughter had beef, with the pepper sauce on the side. It also came with green beans, which she would have liked better had they not been "contaminated" by being on the same plate as the beef. Both main dishes came with a lot of pan-fried potatoes. Chocolate fondant for dessert. Main dishes were only 13,50 each. Pay at the bar after your meal. read more

I still routinely daydream about the duck confit. It was phenomenal. Cooked to perfection and served with potatoes that were heavenly. Can't wait to go back someday. read more

This place was awesome!!!! The best cappuccino that I have ever had. Customer service was great including my waitress and the owner. I ordered roast beef, green beans and crunchy potatoes which were all delicious. read more

A real find Again, i lived just around the corner, and frequented this place many, many times. From the gigantic dog outside, to the lovely, round owner, this place typifies the reason i live in Paris. the confit is exceptional value at 12euros, served with house chips, haricots verts and a lovely sauce with almonds. I can't speak of any other meal unfortunately, because I've had it every time! read more

This place was great. The menu was in French and the servers don't completely translate it for you, but they are very nice and you are guaranteed a delicious meal if you eat here. We randomly came here after getting into Paris late and just looking for a restaurant still open, close to our hotel. We were unbelievably lucky because this place was fabulous, authentically French, packed and very popular with the locals and reasonably priced at 13.40 euros for most entrees. It was so good that we came back the next night after fearing that we'd be disappointed anywhere else. The first night I ordered fish, it was scrumptious and served with a delicious sauce and potatoes and haricot verts. My husband ordered the best duck I've ever had (duck confit) and the next night I got a yummy steak also with green beans, but with crispy potatoes this time. I highly recommend Au bon coin, but keep in mind that you'll probably be the only tourist there. read more

Family-owned and mostly frequented by locals, you'll probably be the only tourist in this excellent and bustling French bistro. The food is largely meat-oriented, save for a salad or two and their daily quiche (usually with some meat also). But you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, the veggies and potatoes on the side are prepared with as much care as your entree, I recently had medallions of pork with potatoes and green beans, and almost took off into the culinary stratosphere! Couple that with good bread and a fine glass of wine, and you are set for the day. And there are other great choices: the duck is popular, as are beef dishes. Service is crisp and Parisian, so don't take it personally. The owners take your money at the front counter and also own businesses on adjacent corners ($$). And it's a good value as well; most entrees are around 12 or 13 Euros and will fill you up. Not far from Montmartre, treat yourself to the delicious world of Au Bon Coin. It's a good example of what the French do so well. The experience is worth a trip from anywhere in the city. read more

This is an excellent neighborhood Bistro with fair (Paris) prices and good homestyle cooking. Nice selection on the daily menu ranging from meat, foi gras, fish to salads. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. read more

This was a great place for dinner in Paris. We were looking for dinner late one night after out sight seeing, and Au Bon Coin was close to where we were staying. They welcomed us in and were very prompt in their service. They had a nice menu selection, no too many items, but certainly covered all the bases. They had a great wine selection as well. Our food arrived fairly quickly, and was great - very fresh and flavorful. We now are counting the days when we can go back to Paris, and will definitely not hesitate to go back to Au Bon Coin! read more
