While visiting Paris, I really wanted to make a point to visit the cozy Parisian bistros I've only heard about. What a super cute place this was and it ended up being one of my favorites during our week+ visit. From the time we arrived to when we bade them farewell, we had the most welcoming dining experience one could hope for. I want to say our server was also the owner of this little hidden gem and he was darling. For all of us non-French speakers, they conveniently have a chalkboard with their menu drawn out for us (see pic). For starters, we tried their creamed spinach soup with a soft boiled egg and OMG, it was mike drop amazing! For reference, it's listed as the Oeuf Cocotte aun epinards et creme de muscade. We also shared the crab cannelloni. Fresh and delicate but it didn't hold a candle next to the soup. For entrees, we went with the duck and the scallops. The duck was cooked a perfect medium rare and the scallops were oh-so-flavorful served in a light vanilla cream sauce with a nice veggie succotash. Both dishes had just enough sauce left over to dip your baguette into it sinfully. Overall, a super memorable experience. Highly recommended if you're in the area!

Ravioli

Awesome food right by the Parthenon. One of my favorite places on the entire trip and more quiet and calm atmosphere. Great service

I "yelped" this place and got hooked into this review that says this place is a "hidden gem" and it turned out it was true! Thank you for this wonderful gastronomic experience . French apple tart tartin (First time and loving it!) Duck breast steak Escargot in basil cream sauce Onion soup

Strong contender for best meal of our 2 weeks in Paris!

We found this restaurant on Yelp and thoroughly enjoyed our meal there. As we had 5 people in our party, we ordered all the 4 starters on the menu and they were all absolutely fantastic. Like 5 stars delicious. Mains were of high quality too, and we polished up every bit of the food, including (especially!) the sauces. See the photos for names/ look of the dishes. Would definitely come back here again if I am in Paris.

Superb, traditional French cuisine. Intimate and quaint atmosphere, friendly and helpful service. Reservations a must.

Great little spot on a quiet street in an affluent neighborhood. Two outside tables with about 10 inside. $$$$

Small restaurant with wonderful food at a great price. The portions are bigger than normal for Paris. They give you a crostini with olive tapenade as soon as you sit down. As an appetizer my husband and I each had the tomato salad with pesto and mozzarella. Think caprese salad but with more tomato and less mozzarella which was great after eating so much rich food all day. For my entree I had the king shrimp with asparagus that was topped with a tomato sauce that was excellent. The shrimp and asparagus were perfectly cooked and the sauce was so flavorful and great for mopping up the bread they provide. My husband had the pork rib (pork chop) with a mustard sauce and what looked like mashed potatoes but may have been a different vegetable but regardless was excellent. Would definitely come back if we were in the area!

These snails and mushrooms are worth blowing your diet

This is the sort of cozy, hidden spot that will make you fall in love with Paris all over again. Attentive and relaxed service, exquisitely prepared meals at a reasonable price. The snail starter alone is worth the visit. And the apple crumble for dessert... Heavenly! The amuse bouche and the digestif are nice touches.

The most life- changing experience with French cuisine. This is what French culinary dreams are…read moremade of. Get the appetizer grilled foie gras with side of greens, you won't regret it. The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. 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. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.

Vibey 30 somethings and those of us tourists that have begrudgingly figured it out. It is close quarters inside, but when in Rome. My bestie from middle school and I shared the escargot (bless you) pasta, which was delicious, and the duck, which was exceptional. We split a very fairly priced bottle of wine and ended the night with the scoop of mousse. If they could figure out how to do that intravenously, that'd be great. The mousse reminded me of a great guilty pleasure, which is eating straight out of the can of Duncan Hines chocolate frosting (ask me how I know, I do this often, going to rebrand it to me being European). Loved it here.

Expected to get a very, I dunno, Parisian experience so to speak. After eating at random…read morepatisseries, boulangeries and the gimmicky dinner at Moulin Rouge, it was nice to have a just regular meal at a French Bistro. It was a cute little spot with plenty of seating and a small bar right up front. The problem was that it's so cramped in there. They fully pack that place pretty tight in there. While they take walk-ins, they were so busy that had we not had a reservations we likely wouldn't have gotten a table in a reasonable timeframe. I think we waited about 15-20 minutes outside until our table was ready. As for service, while they weren't exactly rude, they for sure weren't exactly friendly either. This was also a spot that didn't cater too much to tourists by having English on the menu. I don't fault them for that though, it's their country. I would recommend having a translator app at the ready though with French downloaded. As for the food it was a bit of a letdown for me. We had a number of items to share with each other. Without having reliable signal in Paris, it was hard to use the translator app so I'll do my best with the foods. We ordered a ratatouille (don't think it was a traditional one though), a shrimp dish, white sauce pasta, escargot, duck breast and the chocolate mousse. The ratatouille was OK but was just like a roughly chopped cooked vegetable dish. The shrimp dish was fine as well but nothing standoutish. Our favorite dish was my friend's white sauce pasta; it was flavorful, rich and decadent but somehow not overpowering. The escargot, as expected was not good for me, but "When in Rome" (or Paris haha). It was just a weird chewy Thing that just tasted like oil and garlic with whatever herbs they used. I especially was off put by the little grains of sand or broken shell that was a part of each bite. The duck breast was a little bland if not for the sauce and it was also a tad tough as well. I will say the chocolate mousse was super rich and sweet; I couldn't eat that whole order by myself but it's nice to share for a little end of meal treat.

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.

Like others have said, it's super small inside, so you'll get to know your neighbors really well. But your attention will be more focused on the food they bring out. I had the lamb with thyme sauce and my wife had the confit duck leg. Don't be afraid to pick the sauce of the day over the regular honey sauce. The sauce of the day on the day we went was a blackberry sauce which was crazy good. With a bottle of wine at 24 euros and both entrees under 20 euros, you couldn't really beat a meal of that quality in many places around Paris for that price. It was only after I ate at Le Potager did I see it had a bunch of great reviews on Yelp. It's definitely earned all those stars.
