Small place with a lot of ambience local food best thing to eat is the Alligot that's hiw I got there looks like the owners serve themselves and make it even more personal. read more

The ambiance is pretty neutral. There was plenty of open seating. The waiter was welcoming and kind. Runsteak pepper sauce fried potatoes (3/5): I asked for it to be cooked medium but it was rare. The meat was good though. The flavor was pretty tasty too. Though I'd wish the potatoes to be a bit more crispy. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall Le Boui Boui is an ok place for food. read more

Le Boui Boui - Runsteak pepper sauce fried potatoes - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Went for Lunch Food - 5/5. Bone marrow fell right off the bone with a soft texture that spread easily onto the bread. The bread was hearty, which paired well with the rich flavors of the bone marrow. The parsley gave it an earthy tone and the thyme made it aromatic. Duck had a meaty bite that was tender from having a perfect medium rare doneness. It had good sear that gave the meat texture and crisped up the fat. The honey fig sauce added a strong sweetness that complimented the richness of the duck. Their specialty, the pommes aligot, was phenomenal. Cheese and potatoes were combined into a completely emulsified fusion that had the best qualities of both. It had the savory density of a potato and the creaminess of cheese to form a smooth, almost ice cream like texture. The richness of dairy was balanced out by the starch of potatoes and was perfectly seasoned. Every item here had a richness to it that paired perfectly with the complex flavors of a Bordeaux. Service - 4/5. The service was welcoming and hospitable. The pacing was fitting for the French dining culture, but even slower due to us being there during late lunch. They still came around for service and food came out promptly. Ordering in English was fine and they had a separate menu in English as well. Value - 5/5. The bone marrow was 10€ and the duck breast with aligot was 32€. The price on the duck felt fair as the portion was huge and included their signature aligot. The smallest glass of Bordeaux, which was about a 5 oz pour, was only 5€. Highly recommend to visit for good food, good wine, and to experience the pommes aligot. Parking - N/A read more

Best meal we had in Paris! The baked Camembert was a dream and the burger was arguably the best I've ever had read more

During our last night in Paris, we did not make any reservation and thought we'd be able to easily get into a few of the places on our list. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I was able to grab a last minute reservation here, and so glad I stumbled upon this place. We were probably the only English speakers (always a good sign), and the menu was more unique and authentic than others. In 2017 I saw a video of aligot being made and have dreamt about eating it ever since. Lucky enough, this restaurant served it! We enjoyed an incredible duck breast with aligot, escargot, and steak. Delicious food, simple but efficient service, and wonderful atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone looking for a local and non touristy spot. read more

Quaint inside, looks very much like a French restaurant but quite spacious. We were able to seat 9 people after calling to make a reservation. They spoke good English and had a translated menu. The food was good - the sauce on the pork was especially flavorful. The potato thing was a lot heavier than expected, but also delicious and buttery. It came out around €20 per person, so not too bad price wise as well. read more

A lovely dinner on a beautiful, quiet side street near our apartment. Being from California we're used to more greens (vegetables, salads) with dinner but the duck confit was perfect as was the roast chicken. The agilot (a creamy, cheesy, velvet smooth potato dish) was exceptional too. read more

We visited Le Boui Boui based on the yelp reviews and we were so happy we did. This was a great little restaurant just off the main road. The menu was small, but the food was excellent. We had the squid with chorizo as a starter. It was amazing. The setting is cozy and intimate. Highly recommend. read more

TLDR: quaint little spot with the most amazing mashed potatoes! ______ Came in for dinner and meeting a friend I hadn't seen in years! This was one of our favorite nights in Paris. FOOD: The Steak was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were cheesey and amazing. Really it's not mashed potatoes it's potatoes aligot. It's almost like a mashed potato fondue! The beef tar tar was excellent and a massive serving. We finished most of it. Quaint and cozy - the husband and wife team run this place and it's just a few tables. We stayed right until they closed. Bottle of wine was delicious and so reasonably priced. Loved the price of wine in Paris! Haha read more

Everything went well here! Great last meal in Paris. We were treated very nicely. Food and wine were great and it was a short walk from our hotel which for us was needed after being out all day!!!! read more

wonderful restaurant. I went 3 times during my time in Paris, the ratatouille poulet is amazing and I got it all three times. The chicken is cooked to perfection and is juicy and moist. It was my first time trying ratatouille. I dream of the day when I can come back to this place! read more

Although we made a reservation for a Saturday night, when we walked in, we saw it was virtually void of customers. There was only one other party inside Le Boui Boui, despite it being prime dinner time and there being about 15 tables open. Nevertheless, this was a great thing for us! There is a menu in English for those who don't understand French well, which was handy for us! While I ordered the sausage and aligot, my fiancé ordered the pork chop with aligot. To my surprise, the portion sizes of our entrees were HUGE! I was expecting something smaller, but both the sausage and pork chop looked like they would fit American standards for portion sizes. The sausage was very simple. The aligot - deliciously cheesy and creamy! Although it tasted heavenly with the sausage, I actually liked it more with the bread that was provided to us. My fiancé's pork chop was savory and heavily delicious. Le Boui Boui goes to show that restaurants don't have to be extravagant to receive 5 stars. We were able to receive a classic homey meal cooked with love. Easily the best meal we had in France. I would love to go back to France and come back to Le Boui Boui! read more

We made reservations for dinner months in advanced through the online portal, but for some reason they cancelled a couple weeks before our trip. I then made reservations online for lunch which stuck. We arrived right on time and were the only patrons dining there for lunch. Maybe it's because we came early? I ordered house wine (yum) and their plat du jour - pasta with shrimp and chicken and the fiance ordered onion soup and sausage with cheesy potatoes. My dish was a-okay, but I enjoyed the fiance's dishes way more. Funny how that always happens! The onion soup was amazing. I should have ordered my own! And I forgot why I booked this place and was trying to look up my notes, but I didn't have any internet access within the building. Thankfully, the fiance ordered his main because I would have totally missed out on the star of the meal - their cheesy mashed potatoes. So freaking good!!! Order this!!! I'm drooling thinking about this! Highly recommend. read more

Our first night in Paris. Party of 4. We were seated outside and the weather was perfect. The bill for 4 people was €120. Very affordable and the portions were large. It was a great place to start our vacation. read more

It was 100 degrees that day in Paris (during that heat wave). So we were thrilled to see some really interesting salads on the menu from which to choose. DH got the Salade Boui-Boui which has duck. I got the salad special which included some cold smoked salmon. It was exactly what we needed! Good service too! read more

Cute little restaurant. Had some trouble ordering but eventually got it sorted. The burger was huge and a big hit, and the steak seemed good. I had the beef tartare which was prepared just the way I like it... with just capers and some light seasoning and no saucy mix of something. The aligot was ok... really cheesy mashed potatoes and if you don't eat it fast enough it starts to semi-coagulate into a heavy chewy consistency that seems like it would sit in your belly for days. Glad I tried it though, but I thought the roasted potatoes were better. read more

DELICIOUS fois gras! Perfectly cooked steak with aligot. It was my first time trying aligot, and it was delicious! The restaurant is on the smaller side so you'll be sitting very close to the next table. There were a lot of french locals dining here which was a great sign. read more

Pretty amazing place - it's a bit off the hustle and bustle of Marche/Rue Montorgueil on a relatively quiet Rue Marie Stewart. You know it's a good sign when it's on a quiet street off a busy area, and was still able to draw in a crowd. The atmosphere is romantic, a little dimmer on the lighting, intimate (you do see other diners out there), but comfy. They don't really speak English, and my cell reception is horrible. Of course, I do have Google off-line translate and 2 years of French back in middle school, so it helps...just a little. I did have to look at the menu outside to decipher the options. So, quick walkthrough - they don't have paper menus - they write everything down on a portable chalkboard and you just indicate what you would have. The menu changes from day to day besides some general fixtures (yeah, I am pretty sure Onion soup is a standard here). To begin we went with a simple bottle of San Pelligrino. For us our starter is ecargot (Yes, I know about that "famous" Escargot place in Montorgueil - as far as I know it's overrated) with a local blue cheese, which did not disappoint - tender, flavorful with the funky twang of the fromage, and refreshing with the persillade, but not so unctous that it drowns out the natural sweetness of the snails. For our mains my lady indicated her preference for the poission-du-jour, which for today is monkfish filet in a curry sauce with rice. I on the other hand, went with the brouchette of magret d' canard, or roasted duck breast skewer, cooked medium (only a monster will cook duck breast all the way), served with raclette whipped potatoes. Her filet was delightful, not too spicy, and not too much hidden with commercial spice powder, and the rice does have some herb accents within. The magret d'canard was tender, juicy, flavored with a slight red-wine reduction, and excellent on the palette. The meal was accompanied by an excellent crusty baguette from the market outside - and it hit all the right notes - crispy but yet soft inside. As for the dessert we went with profiterole with a dark chocolate sauce, and a cheese plate with 3 selections, a blue cheese (the same one that was melted onto the snails), a soft and funky one that was half-cow and half-goat milk, and a hard salty one that reminded me of a decent Pecorino - more baguette was offered, but it was not really necessary as they are excellent standalone. The profiterole was decent but not particularly memorable. Service was excellent, friendly and rather accommodating. If I visit Paris again I would definitely stop by, again and again - it's the kind of restaurant that I favor - the unpretentious local joint, one that stands on its 2 feet based on decent solid cooking and reasonably good service, one that you don't mind showing up with friends, family and dates alike. read more

Awesome find while looking for a last minute place for dinner. Small family owned place that served some awesome food. The menu was hand written and all in French. The owner was more than happy to help translating, the waitress only spoke French. We got the house special foie gras and the tuna tartar as appetizers and the duck stick and pork leg for dinner. Each dish was unique and tasted great. Would happily go back read more

Five stars for home cooking comfort food. Not gourmet, unusual or the experimental. Just a delicious down home dinner with excellent service

James & I had this place recommend by a local. What great meal and service. The location is in a very quaint part of a lovely Paris neighborhood. We had the escargot which was a new experience for us both but quite good. read more

This place is a fantastic french cuisine. The owners are very easy going and helpful if you don't speak french. I had the pork tenderloin and aligot. You must try the aligot if you never have. It's a food lover's dream. The sauce they put on the pork just made the aligot even better. It was divine and I hope one day I get to lay my lips on your cuisine again. read more

The service and food was great! We were looking for a good steak place and a good place that had duck meat. This place was definitely the spot. The service was amazing and they definitely made us feel welcomed! The waitress took the time to explain everything to us. Being from America it was hard to translate so we showed pictures and the food looked just the same on the pictures! I will recommend this place to anyone who comes to Paris! read more

Great food and the best aligot I have ever ate. Steak was perfectly cooked and the bread was super fresh, they have a very clean restaurant and menus in English making it easy for non French speakers our server was very polite and helpful. Will definitely come back. read more

Pleasantly off the side street from rue Montorgueil, and thus away from the hectic crowds. They have a diverse, albeit short, beer selection, and (being in Paris) quite the selection of wines. The food is described on the blackboards in marker, which unfortunately is written in some sloppy handwriting. So if you don't already know (a) French (b) the dish names very well, you're in for a surprising dinner. It was slightly above "pub fare", which can be surprising either way, based on what you were expecting. I was expecting a restaurant, but hopefully this experience will help adjust my expectations for next time. read more

This is very small restaurant. You'd probably miss it if you werent looking for it. I dine here my first night in Paris. Found them on Yelp while looking for places to try Aligot. I had the Aligot and duck. It was amazing! The prices were also reasonably affordable. Will definitely visit again when in Paris. Service was just ok. read more

Wow, the people here are SO nice (I assume these people are the owners, which makes it even better). We got the canard with aligot, recommended by them, AND OH MY GOD it has been the most delicious dinner we have had in Paris so far. Blew me out of the water! Do not miss this place read more

The steak here is super good and the aligot is out of this world. Prices are very good for what you get. I wish I got aligot with my steak instead of potatoes. The service here is great as well they really take care of you read more

A great find and one of the few places in Paris where I made multiple stops. Great atmosphere and wait staff. Food is filling and delicious whether it is the salmon, steak or duck (sorry I only had three things). When the restaurant ran out of bread, the waiter walked down to the local bakery and came back with a few baguettes. Make room for desert or stick around until you're hungry again. read more

Great food. Away from the main stream tourist area. The service was excellent. Place was clean, even the bathroom! We had the Boui-Boui salad, my son had the meat dish and my daughter the chicken. All of it was amazing!! read more

Great food. The service can get lengthy during peak hours and it's a bit small. Did I mention the food was great? Because it is.

I happened to find this place on Instagram and decided to give it a try. Oh man, did I make the best choice ever while in Paris. The restaurant is small and family owned. Husband and wife greet you, seat you, and take your order. Don't worry the husband speaks English and can help you with the menu. We got prawns to start in what was like a red sauce, let's just say we cleaned the dish with the bread the provided. The prawns had a great snap to them when you but Into then and held the flavor of the sauce they were swimming in. For dinner I got the grill duck with the amazing cheese mash potatoes and it was amazing.. from the way it was prepared and season with the not to sweet sauce was great. My girlfriend got a steak which was cooked to perfection but was a little fatty. Honestly this was my second time in Paris and this was my favorite place thus far to eat. So if you like a good piece of meat with cheese mash potatoes give this place a try. Everything was just great and away from the tourist area which is always a plus read more

Foie gras was home made and out of this world! The main course of beef tartare was somewhat odd, as it has hot slices of bacon rashers on top with a homemade sauce that slightly cooked the beef. However, the ultimate effect was so unique that I would highly recommend it to anyone dining at this charming, somewhat tourist unfriendly spot. read more

This place was very good. Wonderful specials. We had lamb and potatoes. The wine recommended to us was also phenomenal. The prices are so very reasonable. It's off just a bit from the main strip so I appreciated the more quiet and calm atmosphere. It just felt very local. Our server spoke English (and had English menus) and was very kind. read more

My family of 4 visited Paris for the first time and had dinner here our last night. We were very pleased with our choice. Seemed like mostly locals were dining there but they were very accommodating to us as obvious tourists who spoke very little French. The meal was outstanding as we had the beef filet, glazed chicken skewers and the veal chop. Reasonably price wine and beer, overall a wonderful meal. read more
