We were on the way to Eiffel tower from Arc De Triomphe and saw this. That's the beauty of Paris, roadside small bistro-cafes. You can sit, have a couple of drinks, chill and carry on. We were here only for a couple of drinks (and of course to use the loo). We ordered Local draft beer 1664 Blank, Rose wine. It came with Pretzels. My beer was really good. Also, they serve in cl size. So 50 cl = 500 ml. I think they also charge a cover fee. Donno why. It was evening time, and we enjoyed our drink, got refreshed and started again to see the iconic tower.

Roasted bone marrow and escargot
Kaoru M.

A cute little Brasserie located across the street from the Peninsula Hotel. Not all of their wait staff speak English, but they were kind enough to assign us a waitress who did speak pretty good English. The service was friendly and not hurried. Our party of 4 shared some escargot (excellent) and roasted beef bone marrow. (might have been good, but unfortunately not my favorite.) My wife ordered their French onion soup, which had an incredibly flavorful broth. She also got their chicken sandwich, which she seemed to enjoy. I ordered their ribeye steak, which is where things went south. Perhaps it was due to the language barrier, but my steak that I ordered medium-rare came out very, very, very well done. I haven't had a steak this tough and flavorless since I dined at the Skylon Tower revolving restaurant in Niagara Falls in 1992. Fortunately, their peppercorn sauce was good and added some flavor back to the steak. But the toughness of this meat was inexcusable. If my steak was better, I would have given this place 5 stars. But the steak was sooooo bad, I need to knock 2 stars off. :(

Steak Tartare
Lorenzo M.

This is a good example of how this French little restaurants are, most of the time, a guarantee for good food. For a second day in a row I try a neighborhood restaurant, we had onion soup which was very flavorful and rich. the Steak Tartar was very good and the Tuna Steak, although a bit over cooked, had a great flavor. The staff is very friendly and I think, they are willing to give you an honest recommendation about their menu depending on your want.

L'Etoile Venitienne was perfect for people watching if you can grab a table next to the windows. It has more of a diner-y feel to it. They offer classic French meals--like the burger I ordered that came complete with fried egg on top--and they play American pop music. For sure not fine dining, but it was a great experience.

Excuse the weird editing. I know it looks simple but it was too yummy!

Very close to Arc de Triomphe and steps away from the touristy area. I tried the Croque Monsieur, which was tasty. Great prices, too!

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.

I was there in 2021 and the food was very good, though the salad stuff on the main course was…read moresuperfluous, if they still serve that way. However, the eggs cocotte with foie gras was divine! This fall (2026), I shall return to Paris and that dish is on my hit list for sure. In fact, I may order 2! Service was very personable. Small place but the largest table had 6 locals who livened up the joint. Americans planning to be in Paris Sept 28-30 hit me up we'll meet for din din. Zig

We found Le P'tit and when we inquired if they would serve us they said yes if we ordered immediately. It was a few minutes after ten. We ordered at the bar then were seated at our tables. The waitstaff were incredibly nice. They brought whatever we needed including ketchup which, despite being American, we didn't want or need. :) The food was delicious. I had an almost perfect poached egg -just a little too cooked. They had a fair amount of vegetarian options for the person in our party to get a decent meal: eggs, salad and beignets de mozzarella, which I hate to burst your bubble in advance, is a very French and more appealing way to say Mozzarella sticks. They were still good for the record. Perhaps everyone should call them that and aim for that level of taste. Fried just right and a fair amount of cheese. I ordered the duck legs-no complaints there. It was tender and the side of potatoes weren't the top of my list for the evening but there was more than enough of them to share with others. The chocolate fondant was voted best dessert by the table. It won no contest. I'm glad we stopped in for an authentic food experience.

This place was okay, located in the Paris area yet somehow not very accommodating to tourists? So weird. Anyways, my friend and I came in here after a day of traveling and were starving. We wanted something light and decided to try the cheese that everyone talks about, and it was pretty decent. The prices were a bit wild (like everything else in Paris), but I guess that's what we get for stopping into the first place we saw on the street. The menu is pretty eclectic, so don't expect to stop in here with children and be able to get a grilled cheese and fries, it's more of that stuff that people in America eat when they come into some wealth and acquire a new money accent (you know the type).

A gem! We ended up here after the other restaurant our Airbnb host had recommended was fully booked…read moreand advised us to go here instead. We booked over the phone while on the Bateaux Mouches river tour as we were tired and hungry after a day of sightseeing and we wanted a neighborhood bistro for great unpretentious food where we could stagger back to our beds around the corner after. It was late when we arrived but the bistro was still bustling, our server was super friendly and the food came super fast, which was great as we were ravenous by then! We ordered what was probably one of the cheapest bottles of red wine on the menu but it was so much better than anything we pay twice the price for at home... because hey we're in France, right? Excellent food, friendly people, great service - couldn't ask for more, go there! Side note: walking past next day on way to the metro we were in need of a bathroom and the barman was so nice to let me use theirs even tho I'd just walked in off the street: I made sure after to thank him for the amazing dinner night before so he knew I'd been a customer and most important, the loos were nice and clean (again not the standard in much of Paris!) which was great as you know what they say about clean toilets = a clean kitchen!

Great little Parisian bistro off the beaten path but still just around the corner of Montmartre…read more Ordered the plat du jour, and the dory as well as a salmon salad to start off. My boyfriend is a fish fanatic and loved every bit of the dory. My tajine was amazing as well! Best salmon salad I've ever tasted, the mango actually works super well with it too which surprised us! Great friendly atmosphere, we event chatted with tables next to us and our waitress always came to check on us to make sure we were well looked after!! Would highly recommend!

It was hard to choose a place, but we went with this spacious, open-aired restaurant, basking in the glow of the setting sun. I opted for their Steak Frites, which was already butterflied on the plate. It was tender, but rather light on flavor, which I've noticed to be the standard French fare. A huge dose of fresh cracked pepper was in order, and on the creamy shallot sauce as well. The thick wedge fries were quite good, but I never turn away a fried potato. My friend's brioche toast and my creme brûlée were nice, sweet endings to the meal. Overall it was a good dinner, with very attentive service by the 2 waiters, as we were one of the few patrons on a weeknight.
