    I tried to call probably for a whole week to make reservation as the website said, no one ever picked up. Decided to just come on a Saturday noon when they first open, it seems like several outdoor seats were kept for walk-ins so we were able to sit outdoor, it was nice out so it worked out. Literally came for the steak, it was slightly more raw than my usual go to but it was delivered perfect, sauce was great as well. My favorite might be the fries, it was crispy yet soft inside. Almost finished the whole plate! Although quite expensive but lives up the hype, it sort of becomes more of a tourist spot but oh well! Gotta be good to be on international map.

    Quintessential steak Au poivre! I come just for that but am always impressed by everything. The pork chop on the menu was also out of the world good. The artichoke starter was also good and the eggs and morel was special. Service is friendly and English speaking. Atmosphere is charming bistro.

    We did not have a reservation but came extra early before opening to get a table. The extra tables are outside only. It was raining so not all the tables could be used. You will have to line up outside the restaurant if you want to snag a table. Reservations can be made by phone but my American phone wouldn't go through. We sat outside and it wasn't too cold. Our table was tiny and right by a bush. We waited for almost an hour before our order was taken. I was very hungry. The menu is very interesting but I came specifically for the steak au poivre. It's expensive, about $60 usd. But honestly the best steak of my life. I would buy again. The steak is tender and cooked to perfection. The sauce is peppery and rich. It's absolutely perfect. My friend only got fries and asked for a condiment. They do not have ketchup or anything, only aioli. The fires were 7 euro and the sauce was a whopping 10 euro. Biggest ripoff ever. I felt so bad because she had no idea and our waiter didn't tell us. He was very nice though. I would definitely come back with preferably with a reservation.

    Came for lunch. We had tartare and terrine and one narrow. The food was ok. Very basic and homey food. The restaurant was busy at lunch. Service was ok, very basic.

    This was on my husbands list of places to try in Paris. We didn't have a reservation, the place was packed, but we were still able to be sat within about 10 minutes. The steak and sauce was pretty good. Fries were super fresh and hot. We didn't order a dessert that they forgot but no big deal.

    Scallops with butter, herbs and coco beans. Seemed like an odd combo but was divine!

    Per usual, this restaurant did not let us down! Everything was scrumptious! The oefs with mayonnaise and caviar I'll be dreaming about for the next 10 months. The beef with pepper sauce? I've died and gone to heaven! Make sure you drag your fries through the sauce. It's a perfect balance of flavors, and the pepper isn't too peppery, IYKYK. YUMMMMMM.

    Bistrot Paul Bert is well known to tourists and was been extensively reviewed. We had a 7:30 reservation when the restaurant opened and were surrounded by other parties of tourists. When the tables turned over French speakers started to file in. We had a nice corner table. The staff were OK but were noticeably nicer to francophones. We were started off with good gougeres. Wine by the glass was disappointing. We tried one white and two reds and they were all meh. Appetizers were very good. We had the biggest artichokes that we have ever seen in our lives. Our friends had the pig trotters and the burrata- two thumbs up. Two of our party split the some meunière. It was excellent and surprisingly easy to debone. Two of us had really good steak au poivre. We shared an excellent cheese board for dessert. Prices were fair. The space is straight out of central casting. It was a fun night at a nice bistro.

    Filet de Bœuf au Poivre de Sarawak avec frites maison

    I came on a Wednesday night 30 mins after opening with no reservation, so I didn't expect for there to be a table available. The restaurant was indeed busy when I arrived, and yet I was seated right away! I was given a seat next to the restroom, so perhaps a reservation would've allowed for a better seat. Nonetheless, I was given equal attention by the kind server as other guests, whom were a healthy mix of Parisians (like the person who recommended the restaurant to me). I received bread prior to the meal that I didn't try given that I was saving room for the main course. I ordered the famed " Filet de Bœuf au Poivre de Sarawak avec frites maison ". Given how busy the place was, I was very surprised when I was served within what felt like 10 minutes. Whenever I order steak, I always leave the cook of the meat up to the chef. I was right to have done so: it was cooked beautifully! I was pleasantly surprised by how soft it was without it being so rare. The sauce was yummy, and definitely peppery. Maybe too peppery? Yet again, this was also my first steak au poivre, so I'd take my opinion on that with a grain of salt. The fries were thicker than what I've had in other establishments, but were still enjoyable and went well with the sauce. Nonetheless, I cleared the plates. Although I wasn't being rushed, I was in and out within one hour of being seated (which is golden for a New Yorker like myself). All in all, I had a lovely experience, and see why it is so popular!

    The ouefs mayonnaise, the White Asparagus, and the steak au poivre, that glorious, glorious, steak au poivre were the best things I ate in 12 days in Paris. We walked in at 10:15 on a Tuesday night and ordered quickly, and it was beautiful. Once the waitress decided she liked us she said it was a good move to have come in when we did, no wait, prompt service. The au poivre was the most delicious of my life. Magnificent. I told the waitress I'd never had au poivre until then. Awesome service, perfect atmosphere, a proper perfect French restaurant. I cannot stop thinking about that meal.

    Very good food and service. The creamy poivre sauce with the steak was amazing. Save room for the soufflé! The servers were friendly, attentive, helpful and very efficient. Pro tip- you have to call for reservations, but they do save a few tables for walk-ins on the patio if you get there at opening time (7:30PM usually) first come first served. The patio has a nice ambiance and I think was better than inside since it was a nice evening. Also, don't ask for an English menu as they don't have them. First timers just get the steak. Or use google translate, or the server will help you with a selection. They don't take Amex so plan for that.

    Incredible filet au poivre (done perfectly rare), scallops that blew our mind, the best bread we ate in Paris, and two amazing desserts: a paris-brest and some really outstanding cheeses. The only thing I'd sub out next time was a wild boar stew which was good but there were dishes on other tables that looked better.

    Must have a reservation, it is not very big and they pack them in, but everything was tasty, especially the steak !

    The 2017 version of the tomato salad.  Much better.
    Dwight H.

    So on my 2nd trip to Paris (7 years since my first visit) my wife and I were able to get a walk-in seating. I had been looking forward to coming back since my first time because of a tomato salad I had there the first time. It was life changing. But they changed it and it wasn't nearly as good this time. It had no cucumbers or onions this time. And it had dollops of olive tapenade on it. I don't like olives so I maneuvered around those. But it just did not taste like i remembered. We both got the steak - frites for our mains and that was fine. I have to mention that the frites were the best I had on the trip. 1/2 inch batons that were perfectly crisp and fluffy interior and great flavor. I suspect they were fried in duck fact or tallow. It put any fries I've had in the US to shame. We cancelled our soufflé for dessert because we were just too full. I've attached pics of the 2017 version and the current 2024 version of the tomato salad.

    Reservations is a must. This place gets so busy and glad we made reservations when visiting Paris…read more Interior deco is adorable and well thought out. Open kitchen concept where you can see the chefs happily cooking or cooking all stressed out lol. Our server was Izaya very friendly, well spoken and caring. He ensured our allergies were taken care of. He was fast with his service and continuously checked up on us to ensure we had everything we needed. Now food, mama Margherita pizza was freshly made so you have to really wait it out before taking a bite to ensure you don't burn your mouth. Pizza was evenly baked and crust was even yummy. Mozzarella cheese bites were the winner of the evening. So good the crumbs that covered the cheese were just wow. So tasty we ordered 3 servings of it. We ordered a small salad which was a generous portion for all of us. Good variety of wine list and very reasonably priced. Tiramisu was one of the dessert options and every bite met all our expectations. Overall great experience here they do squeeze a lot of people in there so you could be elbowing your neighbor on another table.

    Really nice atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends or a date night. The service was…read morereally great. Food was alright. My friend and I shared the truffle pasta and white pizza. Both were a bit bland and could've used more seasonings. The drinks were delicious and tiramisu was the star of the show for sure! Definitely any of the big mamma restaurants are mostly for tourists and wouldn't try the others.

It was a really good experience. Warm welcomed by the two waiters (I suppose as well owners and brothers) and we got a nice table by the window. We decided to have brunch there, which is served not in buffet from but it will be brought to your table in a mixed plate. It contains scrambled eggs with your choice of bacon, chicken or salmon, grilled vegetable, salad, fruit salad, fresh plain yoghurt, row ham, hard cheese, goat cheese, pan cake, mini chocolate cake, madeleine, basket of fresh baguette, butter and homemade jam accompanied by a hot drink and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. All the products offered were really tasteful and of high quality. Everything seems to be homemade and with love. A nice surprise was the mini chocolate cake: still warm and with a soft chocolate cream inside. The homemade jam was delicious and with a lot of fruit pieces inside. Service friendly and attentive. The only critical point the size of the table: a little bit too small to contain all the food and drinks brought. Overall a really great experience. I deeply recommend to try.
