Went without a reservation... they were booked, but when the Maitre'De' saw how disappointed I was, he went out of his way to find a table for us. And the perfect table it was. So quaint and cozy very small inside so be sure to make the reservations in advance. And the food I can't say enough about it. The best French food I've had. French onion soup to die for, the beef bourgonion so thick and rich ...lovely.! Don't miss out on the beef marrow bone... The best I've ever had! I won't even tell you about dessert... I will leave that surprise for you. But you will not be disappointed, a special little hideaway in France that you must visit...!!! so thankful we were able to find his hidden gem read more

The food was very good and the server was attentive but we were charged 8 Euros for tap water!

Terrible customer service! VERY MEDIOCRE FOOD! Staff VERY RUDE acts like doing you a favor to be there. There are MANY very good restaurants in local area that are much better food and service . Go else where ! read more

Made a reservation here after it was recommended to me by a friend and really enjoyed our dinner! We started off with the escargot, which was not my favorite I've had, but it was still delicious and fresh. We also got the onion soup, which was absolutely amazing and a must in my opinion. I had the beef bourguignon, which is one of my favorite dishes ever. It's a house specialty here and you definitely can tell why once you take a bite. in my opinion it's a must order when you come here. My companion got the hanger steak with potatoes and enjoyed his meal as well. we were to full for dessert, but the neighboring tables that ordered it seemed to really enjoy it. Service was wonderful and the wait staff spoke English with us when we need it and was very kind. Highly recommend! read more

What an amazing lunch we had at Chez Fernand! We did not initially have the restaurant on our radar, but my wife found it when browsing dining establishments with tasty-looking Beef Bourguignon - one of many French dishes we hoped to enjoy during our Paris stay. We first ordered a pig trotter dish which was served over green beans. Sure, "pig trotters" stand out when I describe that dish, and I am happy to have tried them, but I have never tasted green beans so delicious. Every bit was heavenly. The beef bourguignon was next, and it met our high expectations. The flavors were immense in every bite - a perfect balance of tender beef, golden potatoes, and pearled onions. Not a drop of the gravy was left behind! These dishes were perfect for the two of us to share, especially with a couple of craft brews. I cannot recall our waiter's name, but he was from Louisiana and spoke fluent French - kudos to him for the warm and welcoming service. Our delightful experience at Chez Fernand will be forever-memorable. read more

Excellent!! The best boeuf bourguignon ever! I first went there in 2019 and my whole boeuf bourguignon experience has been ruined ever since because everywhere I've tried it in NYC, I kept comparing it to this place. (The closest I got to this was Bistro Vendôme) Anyway, went again to Paris last week and it was just as amazing as I remembered it. Make sure you make a reservation a few days in advance if you plan to dine there before 9pm. read more

Chez Fernand - Chicken & Boeuf Bourguignon - French Near Me - Paris, 75

I read a fantastic review of this place from one of my favorite chefs in Paris and I had high expectations but I was a bit disappointed. The signature dish is the beef burgundy and it was watery and uneventful. It was just a beef stew for me. I also ordered the baked camembert with honey and that too was..well..I think they forgot the honey. I did have a mouthful.of my husband's ravioli in fois gras sauce. Wow. That was the star of the meal. I wish I ordered it myself. The mini ravioli were stuffed with cepe mushrooms and the fois gras creme sauce was outstanding. The wine selection is more than you can imagine. Desserts looked wonderful but we passed on them. read more

Chez Fernand - The perfect Paris meal! Nothing too fancy paired with one of the best kitchens in the city! - French Near Me - Paris, 75

One of our sought after meals in Paris. This place was highly recommended for its beef bourguignon and we booked in advance so be sure you do; it's tiny! Loved the part of the city it's located. We had the early meal time and everyone waits outside until they check you in. The decor is classic Parisian and the staff spoke English and was super friendly. Ordered the escargot as apps with a nice bottle of burgundy. Fore warned the wine list is like an encyclopedia Britannica but navigable but they have some crazy good selections. Of course we both got the beef bourguignon for our main and they served in a larger pot together but was more than enough. Was fall apart delish but felt it was a bit under salted if I had to pick any critique. We chose an apple tart desert which I think was a miss order by us as they had better deserts but was decent. Was a little pricey but all and all our top second meal in Paris! Highly recommend! read more

Manager and Chef were inviting and engaging. Staff could not get it together, could not see kitchen and then when food arrived we understood why. Sea bass was not great, vegetables tasted like canned not fresh at all. Tables were stacked too close together could not get in and out to get to the toilet. White wine was room temp ruined the flavor for the wine. Could have iced down the carafe / pot? Could not get the check to save our life 30min of being ignored by staff running around doing nothing but smoke breaks? read more

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever dined at. The food was AMAZING. I've been thinking about it since I returned from Paris a month ago. You have to come here at least once. Onion soup: Show-stopping. She is the main character. Absolutely amazing and I loved how much cheese they loaded on top. It was seriously so good that I dream about her. Bone Marrow: Was honestly not that amazing. I wished it was more salted or had some kind of sauce. It was basically just straight bone marrow paired with bread, and it wasn't seasoned enough to my liking. Beef Bourguignon: GET THIS. My god. Chez Fernand is known for this dish for a reason, and it was absolutely divine. The beef was so tender, and the sauce was so rich and flavorful. So many layers of flavors. I'm salivating as I think about it. Dessert: Chocolate lava cake (I forgot what it was called on the menu) was pretty good. It wasn't anything incredibly amazing but definitely a nice way to end dinner. Service: Honestly, pretty meh. They didn't bring another bottle of water when we ran out (Not sure if we were limited to one bottle) and they didn't check on us during dinner. Kind of sucked but the food made it sooo worth it. read more

This fantastic place came recommended from our hotel concierge, a spot on suggestion. It's an informal but intimate environment, with checkered tablecloths and bare stone walls. The food was absolutely fantastic--carpaccio, smoked salmon, onion soup as starters all shone. For mains we had roasted chicken, scallops, and the best beef burgundy I've ever had: it is a must order. Desserts were fabulous (Tarte Tatin) and the wine list blew us away. Service was outstanding and fun. Sam ran an excellent room, made all feel festive and welcome. Definitely recommend! read more

The best meal I've had in Paris for under €100. The escargot was the best I've had hands down. A powerful pesto sauce and the preparation of the snails was amazing. The speciality is the beef bourguignon, was amazing. It was a cool and rainy day the beef was perfect amount of hearty. The gravy and bread quickly became the French version of chips and salsa. The setting was simple and welcoming. Seating and tables are tight but normal for European standards. They were also so friendly to our French bulldog, and she came inside with no issues. Make a reservation on The Fork. I will definitely be back. read more

Excellent restaurant in the heart of St Germain. Came here for dinner on a whim to enjoy classic French cuisine. They check the Pass Sanitaire in order to be seated, but once inside there's no social distancing which I found to be marvelous. Service was very attentive and quick. Food was absolutely fantastic. We started with the Bone Marrow special which had four large bones served with toast. For the main course, I opted for Duck (canard) which was sublime. The other dish was a fish special (cod) served with a bernaise sauce. Might have to come back for dinner again on this trip. read more

Chez Fernand is a delightful small restaurant near St Germain des Pres. Best to book ahead as they are very popular. By small I mean there is a long line of two person tables where one seat is site fixe, and they pull out one table so one person can access that chair, then that person is entombed. It's hard not to meet your neighbors. The speciality is boeuf bourguignon, and there's a reason for that. Someone in your party ought to try it. Of course there are many delights on the menu Host and hostess are most gracious and it was quite reasonable, considering the quality We really enjoyed the "family style seating and the staff were delightful. read more

Good for American tourist. Locals would never go here. Much better options. For is mediocre at best. Tough meat and very noisy. Turned into a show and there was loud singing. Couldn't have a conversation. read more

One of the best meals we ever had! This our fifth trip to Paris. This was the best onion soup and boeuf burgionone we ever had. It was top rated boeuf burgionone on Frenchies. The Angus cheek meat was fork tender and the fat melted in your mouth. They serve at your table from a cast iron pot. Make certain to dig into the pot for the vegetables and mushroom and bits of super tender meat. Dip your bread into the delicious gravy The service was very friendly and rapid. We certainly will come back read more

Excellent restaurant! Their French onion soup is amazing- great flavor! The bread they serve on the side is delicious. It's not too soft or too hard. It's the perfect consistency. We ordered the Lamb Shank special that was served with a carrot and sweet potato purée that was to die for. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also very cute. It had roof beams on the ceiling and brick/rock walls. The staff was also great. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

I really did enjoy my time here at Chez Fernand. My joy in coming here centers on the basics: This is down-home French cooking not some Michelin Star Titan that will break you bank. From the escargot to beef bourguignons to great bottles of wine to waiters who are friendly, I'm very happy about eating here (And I'll most likely return). If there was a downside, it has everything to do with my fellow Americans who could not control themselves. That's not Chez Fernand's fault...just a commentary and word of warning that there is an off chance of poor American behavior here. Beyond that, Chez Fernand is open late! My reservation was for 9pm and I think we left closer to midnight (Needless to say that in the Summer, the sun doesn't sink until after 11pm). Seating is both indoors and out and there is no rush to leave. Meals here are made to be enjoyed! read more

four of us had lunch - everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal - we had starters - french onion soup - a play of the day which was goat cheese ravioli- i had the beef bourgeon - steak and frites service was great - food was delicious i would try it for dinner read more

A very lively small space with a nice mix of locals and tourists. Known for its Beef Bourginon it did not disappoint. If you are at all clostrophbic you won't like it here. The tables are so close together they have to pull it out so you can get in. Still very enjoyable overall with good efficient service. read more

My wife and I went to Chez Fernand when we were on our honeymoon in Paris last year. We ended up at Chez Fernand because it was close to our Airbnb and the reviews we read online said it was a great place to get escargot and bone marrow, two of the things we wanted to try while in Paris. The restaurant is small and cute and the interior is styled very traditionally - old brick walls and red and white checkered table cloths. Both the escargot and bone marrow were excellent. However, the best thing we ate was the fish dish off of their chalkboard menu - the fish was soft and delicate and it was served with fresh green beans, tomatoes, green onions, garlic, herbs and butter. It was unbelievable - one of best meals we had during our entire trip, and one of the best fish dishes I've had in my entire life. For dessert we ordered off of the chalkboard menu again - a strawberry soup. It was sweet and sour, light and refreshing. It was perfect for a hot summer day. We really owe it to our server on this one. Not only was she extremely friendly but she made great recommendations. If it weren't for her we never would have tried the fish or the strawberry soup. We will 100% be back to to Chez Fernand the next time we're in Paris. Highly recommended. Five stars. read more

Our waiter was born in Brooklyn, and with verve and humor he guided us in our choices. We went for a late, large lunch and we were completely delighted and satisfied by the food, the atmosphere, and the ambiance of the place. We both had roast chicken, accompanied by mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables - all perfectly cooked and delicious, and accompanied by tasty glasses of wine suggested by our waiter. Overall, a delightful experience and on my list for a return visit when we are next in Paris. read more

Love the food and ambiance so much. It's a go to for me in Paris. The staff is incredible! So warm and welcoming. The vibes are fun and the music on their play list is excellent.

The host was wonderful to accommodate us without reservation as we had just arrived earlier in the afternoon. The wait staff were very friendly (and able to speak in both French and English) as well as menus in both languages. The food was amazing. The four of us shared the bone marrow and traditional pork pate starters. The bone marrow is very rich and you get 3-4, so I would definitely recommend this as shareable. The pate was generous as well, and could easily be shared. One of us had the duck, another had the farm chicken and two of us had the house specialty, beef bourgeneon. It is no wonder this is their specialty. It was TO DIE FOR !! The four of us shared a creme brûlée which was one of the best I've ever had. Bread was plentiful throughout the meal as well. If you are in this area, you must check them out (and have the beef)!! read more

We had dinner here our last night in Paris and it was a fabulous way to wrap up our trip. We were greeted warmly and while it was an off-season weeknight, there was still an hour+ wait. We left to grab a drink nearby and returned an hour later for a lovely meal. This restaurant is very warm and cozy. Much of the seating requires staff to slide tables out in order for you to slide in. Be ready to get up and close and personal with other diners. We started with wine (obviously) and a stinky cheese that arrived hot and bubbly and perfect for spreading on the accompanying bread. Next up we both opted for the steak with bone marrow. This was a first for me. (The bone marrow, not the steak.) The steak was perfectly cooked and I learned that I'm not a fan of bone marrow. (Although I recognize that one would be a fan if they like super meaty rich things.) A generous side of creamed spinach added some much needed greens to our day. To round out our meal we split dessert... a sticky toffee something. read more

Delicious food and wonderful service, did not disappoint for the second time. Wish every meal was this good in Paris.

On June 19th 2022 We arrived early evening and there weren't too many diners at that that time . We were both looking forward to the experience on our first night in Paris which came highly recommended from the hotel on the same street. We ordered a bottle of white wine and pate to share as a starter with the steak for two with bearnaise sauce and frites .. The pate was so so, but the steak couldn't be worst and served by a very rude waiter. The steak arrived cold and raw and the sauce looked like is was right out of the refrigerator left over from the previous evening. When we brought our dissatisfaction to the attention of the waiter, the steak spoke for itself raw and cold he argued with me about the sauce, I had to explain to him the sauce should be warm and at the very least room temperature and pourable and shouldn't stone cold. this was more like a spread. They took the already sliced steak and tried warm it and also cook it under the grill . I was really expecting to start over with a fresh steak, we rejected the steak and asked for the bill. We were charged for everything and with no apologies. I should have known by the plastic table cloths that it wasn't going to be a good experience . read more

Absolutely fabulous and superb. Our favorite restaurant in Paris. Everything is spectacular here. You MUST try the escargot and the bone marrow. Don't worry about diet or calories.

Everything here is perfection! If you're looking for classic French done exceptionally well, this is the place. The service is attentive as well. I had the onion soup and it was fantastic. For an entree, I got the Beef Bourgignon, a house specialty. Wow, was it good. Melt in your mouth good. My boyfriend had the pork chop with mashed potatoes. He said they were the best he has ever had. I think the same. We finished with the chocolate mousse which was excellent. They also have a great wine list. read more
