Great mains
Adrian B.

For my birthday my partner booked lunch at this little restaurant having read some good reviews We arrived outside...first reaction was really, here? This place? Its doesn't seem to be the most salubrious part of town, apologies to all. And the menu was very small. And did it even have enough choice? Was there something we could both enjoy? We went in anyway, and read on... The place itself has some fun decoration - apparently the loo is even better decorated! The waitress expected us and welcomed us warmly There were 2 couples at 2 other tables...we were able to choose anywhere, so we selected the table that seemed in the shape of an artist's palette, just by the door My partner had the scallops and risotto and I chose the Argentine steak...in the end, not having been before, I said well done rather than a point. Both were superb and my steak well done, so tender but crispy edged; but this good a piece of meat in future for me will be a point Cheese for me and for my partner a creme brulee. Both very good. The champagne delicious and the white and red (the Rasteau - bio) chosen both excellent too I would give another half star but for 2 things...the coffee was really second rate in our view, not nice. And the wines are incredibly expensive by the bottle; it needs something in between or a carafe...but you do get a nice large glass if you buy that way! After, just us 2 left, we chatted to the chef and waitress. They were both really nice. Apparently, they have music from time to time. They were going to close a couple of weeks to do some more works - not an issue in the end because the next day all restaurants would to be told to close because of the corona virus! Definitely will return; very enjoyable meal

Duck was amazing. So so so good. Cooked perfectly.

Sitting in a train waiting to get to Reims to tour some champagne houses (because of course we are) so I guess it's time to make a dent in some reviews. This was our very first stop in Paris after dropping off our bags and it did not disappoint expectations. A smaller restaurant - we were one of only two tables. The server, who also appeared to be the bartender and maybe the owner or manager was wonderful and provided a warm welcome to Paris. Gave us the English menu without asking and we enjoyed a very pleasant conversation. This is definitely not a place to be nervous about coming to if you don't speak a lick of the language. When it comes to wine, we don't really know what to order even when in the states, but at least we know what grapes we like. Here, we didn't even know that. So we guessed and guessed right. Our wines were superb. For entrees, I got the duck. Couldn't tell you how it was prepared - which will be a common theme in these Paris reviews. When you go somewhere for a while and dont take detailed notes, you end up with notes like "duck, great. Wine, great, service great." Very helpful a week and 20 restaurants later. Anywho, best duck ever? Maybe. There was one duck dish at a French restaurant in NY that might have been better or at least, just as good. But I do want to head to the almost every French restaurant I've been to in the states and slap the chef with a cold wet spatula for betraying their country. I am rarely disappointed in any French meal I get in the US, but this put them all to shame. I could have come back here for every meal, but there were croissants to eat elsewhere.

(I just realized my review never posted from last year on Google!!! I'll try here on Yelp. Written December 2021. I am not one to write many reviews, but I felt compelled to write one for this restaurant. We spent two weeks in France for our honeymoon, and this was by far our favorite meal. Everything from the decor/ambiance, to the food (presentation and taste), to the staff - the owner, Selim, was a doll and shared many interesting stories with us. The entire experience was A+ and something we still talk about weeks later. Au P'tit Curieux will be our "go to" next time we are in Paris.

best experience ever !!!!!! the service was exceptional & we were treated like royalty the owner made sure we had a great time & the food was the best i ever had in Paris. I ate the duck breast which was cooked perfectly with the side of sweet potatoes that melted in my mouth

Salad (cheese, scamorza,  was served separately to make it vegan friendly)

My favorite bar for the area around rue des Abbesses. This is a great and very popular (but tiny)…read morebar just up the hill. They specialize in mojitos, make lots of them, and typically have a descent size crowd outside smoking and drinking mojitos/beers on their tiny "terrasse" or on the adjacent sidewalk. They serve a nice "planche" of cheese and charcuterie - nothing to rave about but nice to have at your disposal after a few mojitos. While the bar is usually crowded, you can still find a corner to chat with a friend or date without too much hassle. I go here for their house specialty cocktail: Le Captain. This is a rum-based drink with blue curaçao and an upside down bottle of Orangina and a straw that goes into the bottle. As you drink, the bottle turns green and while at first it just tastes like Orangina the whole thing eventually becomes a delicious if perhaps dangerous mind "hand grenade" (it kinda looks like one too) as the rum gets pulled in towards the end. They also can make mojitos with Sailor Jerry now (a Captain Morgan spiced rum ripoff) and the results are rather delicious (but normally guarantee a headache - I recommend avoiding Jerry and his treacherous ways...) There is another cocktail based on Kahlua that is surprisingly yummy but I forget the name. Anyways - great place. Highly recommended for small groups of friends from 11pm to closing time at about 1:30am. Happy hour can be nice as well :D

Fun spot and great live music . Check out their country/western , Western swing and rockabilly…read morenights on Sundays!

This place is such a good time! The bartenders were super friendly and taught me about genever…read more(which is excellent). The drinks were delicious: well thought out and well executed. This was the first time that I had a grasshopper, it was a refreshing drink that was a good way to end the night. They had a good list of boozy drinks as well that fit my palate. The small bar has sort of a carousel look to it. They had a three piece band doing Jimi Hendrix songs. I could see myself being a regular here.

What a great find!…read more This bar doesn't look like much from the outisde but once you walk in, its super cool and full of character. The bar staff was extremely friendly and educated us on the history of the bar. Both bartenders spoke english and were from United States. It was explained to us that Lulu White was a brothel madam, that was concidered to have more power than the mayor of New Orleans during the late 1800s. Her brothel contained a "Blue Book" that allowed patrons to chose their companion via photos. The Lulu White bar, took this concept and allows you to chose your drink according to the individuals photographed in the "Blue book". We were told the individuals listed in the book change about every 6 months but the Lulu White drinks remains constant. I tried the Lulu White: Altos Anejo Tequila, Plymouth Gin, Genepi, Absentroux, and Cardamon noir. It came in a elegant beautiful glass and It tasted like a dry martini with a licorice flavor from the absinthe. This was definitley a drink you sip on to enjoy. The décor of the bar, resembled historical New Orleans with its dim lighting and elegant décor and half moon booth seating. This was a great surprise, and I recomment anyone to stop by and check it out!
