    razor clams
    Jason M.

    When determining where to dine while in Paris, I consulted a number of sources - both online and through friends and family who have been to the city. Chez Fernand Christine fell on my radar through one of my colleagues who had been here before. The reviews and and pics looked great, so I made plans to have dinner here our first night in Paris. Like many restaurants in the city, Chez Fernand is located on a semi-quiet street. The interior is kind of rustic and charming - almost giving off the feel you are in a wine cellar with stone walls and simply decorated walls and tables. The space is split between a front dining area and a small room in the back (we were seated in the latter area). There are definitely cozy vibes here which really added to the overall aesthetic. The menu mostly consisted of no-frills French cuisine, with a decent selection of apps and mains. Before food, though, we decided to get a bottle of wine. I'm a fan of dry reds and the sommelier gave us an excellent suggestion. For our apps, we shared the razor clams and the Roquefort cheese. The former was really tasty - the clams were tender and sat in a flavorful sauce. The cheese was also great - melty and paired with slices of bread; I mean, cheese and bread - you're speaking my language. We were also given a bread basket so you can guarantee I found myself going in for more dips. The restaurant boasts their signature dish as beef bourguignon, and since I was in the mood I decided to go for it. The dish was really good - I wouldn't say it was better than other beef bourguignons I've had, but nevertheless it was warm, comforting, and full of flavor (in addition to the tender beef). I can definitely see this being shared, but I'm not quitter. We opted for dessert, and went with the rice pudding topped with caramel sauce. This was good - again, nothing too outstanding but a solid finisher that wasn't too heavy. Service was good, everyone as welcoming and dishes were served at a good pace. Overall, I had a great experience at Chez Fernand. The food, service, and aesthetics were all a great start to my food explorations in Paris.

    Excellent French restaurant kind of hidden in the Saint Germain area of Paris. But inside, it is a quaint, almost rustic style for Parisian cuisine. Actually found this place by accident as we were strolling through the area (I'm a tourist by the way). Service was excellent from start to finish and our server spoke perfect English, which made the experience easier for my wife and I. We settled on the 4 course meal, which we shared. There are many restaurants such as this, but it is worth the service and experience trying French cuisine.

    Beef Bourguignon

    Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This is my favorite restaurant in Paris so far. 5 stars on their beef bourguignon and steak. Their beef bourguignon was delicious and the soup was thick. Steak was very tender and not chewy at all. I have been here several times but my latest experience was not so great it was on Halloween night and two of their servers weren't there. Wait time for the food was long. The whole restaurant was chaotic. People who come later got their food before the people that were there before. Other than that food was still delicious. Highly recommended. Make a reservation or get there before they open because it will fill up very quick. I would say within 15 to 20 minutes.

    French onion soup and bone marrow

    We experienced a delightful evening dining at Chez Fernand, it's hard for me to even decide what part of our experience was my favorite. What an exemplary French restaurant! Our server was amazing and incredibly attentive/patient with us. My boyfriend and I were starving, and this was our first day in Paris! We ordered the French onion soup and bone marrow as our appetizers. My boyfriend got the beef bourguignon and I got the Black Angus hanger beef steak with fries, and we finished the night off with some delicious caramel rice pudding. The French onion soup was our first, but I'll never forget the incredibly rich roux-like soup texture and the Emmental cheese that the chef paired with it. Every bite was sweet, savory, salty, fatty, and slightly different in texture due to the marinated onion and chewy cheese. The bone marrow with sea salt and bread was quite yummy, I've never had it before but it was less heavy than buttered bread and had a fun gelatinous mouthfeel. The beef bourguignon my boyfriend had was to his liking, he liked the marinated red wine flavor but it was not for me. The hanger beef steak with fries was incredible, the fries were so good and perfectly crispy and salted. The rice pudding was so simple but executed perfectly- what a beautiful plating, and what an even tastier dish! So sweet, the nuts on top added a fun crunch to each bite. So creamy and chewy, I was in heaven. Anything richer and I probably would've rejected it (just kidding- I'd eat anything from this spot). Such a perfect beginning to our vacation, I'm happy we spent it here.

    Excellent spot in Paris for traditional French dishes. The restaurant is tucked down an alleyway and is quite small inside, creating a cozy dining experience. Given the size of the restaurant, it's definitely best to make a reservation in advance, especially if you have a larger group. We were about 20 minutes late for our reservation but they were still able to seat us thankfully. We started with the escargot (comes with 6) which were fantastic and the foie gras, served with some caramelized onions and a few slices of a sweet brioche bread which are both French staples. For the main course, my companions got the beef bourguignon which came with several large pieces of beef and a few smaller pieces of potatoes and carrots in a rich sauce. If two people both order the dish, they combine the portions into a single cocette and plate the dishes for each person. This could be a good option for a date and saw several couples doing so in the restaurant. We had a nice bottle of red wine with our meal and had a great experience overall.

    Maybe my timing was off? I didn't enjoy dining here as much as I hoped. I reserved and had New Year's Eve dinner at Chez Ferdinand Christine. I could only get the 8:30pm seating. When I arrived, there was a rustic table in the entry room where I was seated. I ordered an entrée of mini mushroom raviolis in truffle sauce, a plat of scallops over orzo which had chorizo chunks and a dessert of frozen Grand Marnier soufflé. The portions were generous. I enjoyed the mini mushroom raviolis and delicious Grand Marnier soufflé. The plat was somewhat odd because the chorizo chunks were really strong flavored which overpowered the scallops. I ate one chorizo chunk and pushed the rest aside. The scallops were cooked perfectly but not seasoned. The service was gruff/quite brief with dishes dropped by assistants. My biggest complaint was the stressful ambiance during the meal. It was freezing outside. The door constantly opened and new patrons came in hovering over diners in my room. Luckily I was not closer to the door and didn't have anyone over me. For ~170 Euros, the food was good but the experience was not.

    Of the two chez Fernand ( Rue Guisarde and Rue Christine), this is the one I preferred. They have the same ambiance and nearly the same menu but the bistro atmosphere and the beef bourguignon was more delectable here. We started with snails which were good but the star was the beef. Perfectly cooked, fork tender and served with little potatoes. The deserts( tarte tatin) and crème brûlée were equally delicious. We will come back !

    Food is awesome, love their signature beef dish, too bad our stomach is too small, food is very good, service is good too ~ love this place!

    I enjoyed my dinner and experience here. I made reservations but we had to wait maybe 15 more minutes to be sat, so luckily the host brought us some wine while we waited outside. The service was very kind and helpful. The space is small so I imagine they get busy and it's always a better idea to make reservations. We ordered the French onion soup and bone marrow for an appetizer and then had the beef bourguinon and roasted chicken. I enjoyed the bone marrow a lot. I really loved my chicken and thought it was a good serving.

    Such a lovely restaurant tuck in the alleyway, we arrived a little before the restaurant opens, because we didn't have a reservation. The line gets long. They open puncture. The space inside is very tight, you need to move tables to get out of the seat. We were not hungry so was hoping to just get two appetizers. But was told that we can't do that, have to each order at least a main. So we ended up order four appetizers to get away with the minimum spending. The food are all very delicious, my favorite of the night is the razor clam, so fresh and flavorful not too overpower by the sauce. The scallops cooked perfectly.

    Classic French restaurant very close to our hotel. Had so many good reviews so decided to come by last night. We made a reservation and was happy that we did since it was very busy and since it's not very large. We were seated promptly as soon as we got there and got a cute corner table. We got a couple of glasses of red wine, recommended by our server and it was delicious. We decided we wanted to try three starters. - escargot, wow it was delicious 10/10, could of ate more - onion soup, best I have ever tasted 10/10 - foie gras mushroom raviolis, wow I have no words. 10/10 Why we got main course we have no idea! Since we were pretty full by now. But for main we got the beef bourguignon, thick and really good rich flavor, and the veal kidneys, the husband said it was really tasty! Overall if you're in the area and want some delicious French food this is your place!

    Checked this place out upon a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. I made a reservation, thankfully, as this place was packed on a Friday night. Dress code is chic casual, the vibe is lively, and there were both American and French people dining here. The menu is available in English and our water spoke English as well. The staff here is friendly and gave us great recommendations for dinner. Onto the food we had: - French onion soup: This was sooo good. Fresh, hot and flavorful. - Escargot: Yumm! - Roasted duck breast: Cooked perfectly and I loved the sauce it came with and the carrots purée was excellent! - Beef bourguignon: The beef was a tad overcooked for me but was still overall a tasty dish. - Crème brulée: Delicious and not too sweet. Overall, I had a great meal and definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

    THE place to go in Paris for a classic, no-frills French meal. Tight quarters but staff and patrons all in good spirits enjoying the standard French fare. Friendly to English speaking tourists, but quality of food should please locals, as well.

However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM.

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

We headed to Chez Janou, a Paris institution. I hadn't been in years, but my son insisted we go back because, according to him, they have the best chocolate mousse in Paris. Judging by the lineup, half the city; and every tourist with an Instagram account showed up. Thankfully we had a 2pm reso. Here's the thing, though. Everyone talks about the mousse, but the food deserves just as much attention. I'd also forgotten how much I love the 3rd arrondissement. Wander a few minutes from the restaurant and you'll find beautiful art galleries, a gorgeous little park, and some of the best boutique shopping in Paris. It's one of those neighbourhoods where you accidentally walk 15,000 steps without realizing it. Now, here's your game plan. Start with the escargots or the gambas to share. For your main, order the farci provençal or the foie de veau. The farci is like a French version of a stuffed pepper: yummy comfort food with a southern coast twist. As for the foie de veau... I actually ordered it by mistake. I thought I was getting regular veal. Out came veal liver. Best mistake of the day. I love liver. My mom makes an incredible liver and onions, so I'm a tough judge. This was outstanding. Rich, buttery, perfectly cooked and perfectly salted. It was so good I immediately texted my mom and told her she's coming here the next time she's in Paris. Drum roll, please... The chocolate mousse. Was it worth all the hype? Yep. There are no fancy swirls or little artistic desserts here. A server simply walks over carrying what looks like a white industrial-sized bowl of chocolate mousse and casually drops a mountain of it onto your plate. Everyone grabs a spoon and starts digging in. It's wonderfully French. Simple. Unpretentious. Ridiculously good. So yes, Chez Janou lives up to the hype. But don't just come for the mousse. Come for the lunch, stay for the neighbourhood, and spend the afternoon getting happily lost in one of the best corners of Paris. That's a Friday well spent.

    On our last evening in Paris we were fortunate to nab an outdoor table at this lovely restaurant…read moredownhill from the famous Sacred Heart Church. I wanted to taste authentic French Onion soup before leaving this beautiful country and we could not have selected a better place. The soup was, of course, the most delicious onion soup I have ever tasted and the duck breast and green beans which followed were equally amazing. My husband ordered the egg and duck confit appetizer which we were initially puzzled as to what to expect but it was DELISH! As was the duck Shepherd's Pie! To top off the wonderful food was the friendly, gracious service through which it was provided. These two gentleman made our final evening the best. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

    This is the kind of place that you should be searching for when you come to Paris. Small and…read moreintimate, with well executed dishes and exceptional service. These smaller bistro type eateries are the lifeblood of the local cuisine. They consistently offer reasonably priced dishes that are full of flavor and technique. The wine and drink options are well catered to the menu and they provide options for most price points. The service we experienced was exactly what you want... our server had plenty of suggestions based on the offerings of the day. The service was attentive and responsive... not much more than you could ask for. I had the duck breast being offered... it was served alongside crispy potatoes, green beans, and a salad. Adding in the onion soup and a glass of wine... it quickly became a King's dinner at a very reasonable price. I would be more than happy to eat here again and look forward to exploring the rest of the menu offering many local and classic French options.

    My wife and I booked this for lunch and were not disappointed!…read more It's a sharp restaurant with a clean look, prompt service, and exceptionally presented food. Plus, it is very good!! The menu may be a bit confusing, but our server cleared up any questions. (a la carte vs prix fixe) We started with a complimentary terrine with gherkins and onions which were delicious. I had the Brittany scallops in a pesto and citrus dressing topped with parmigiana reggiano - absolutely amazing! Mains were the braised beef cheeks which were melt in your mouth and a tender roasted veal. The smoothest puréed potatoes and a crispy potato gaufrette were perfect accompaniments. The Grand Marnier soufflé was the perfect ending to an outstanding lunch. I look forward to returning to La Regalade for another lunch or perhaps dinner.

The ambiance of this restaurant was outstanding as we were warmly greeted when we entered and the restaurant is housed in an historic building about 400m from the Louvre. Only two tables were occupied by Americans which was a good sign. We ordered the tartare, foie gras, Octopus salad, duck and pork belly, all of which were delightfully prepared and tasted very good. We ordered Palova and the Soufflé for desert (both highly recommended). They had a very extensive wine list but we opted for the Charles Heidstick Brut Reserve by the glass which was very good. By far our best dinner while in Paris.
