Cucumbers after gazpacho joined the party

Okay..we had a couple of people recommend this place so we checked it out after snagging a reservation the night before. Wow..what a great local spot! It's a tiny location that filled up fast but the waiters were totally accommodating and didn't rush us at all. And the food..mmmm! They do a 3 course menu so we each did that and it was well worth it. The plates came out looking like art work, I almost felt bad digging in..but am so glad I did..haha! We had: - veggie raviolis (starter) - raw fish terrine (starter) - pork belly and bun (starter) - gazpacho cucumber (starter) - duck breast (for 2) w/ beetroot puree (entree) - fish of the day (cod) (entree) - "slow cooked/braised" beef brisket (entree) - "braised" chicken legs w/ olives (entree)..this dish was so flavorful! - strawberry sorbet (dessert) - chocolate ganache (dessert) - Grand Marnier soufflé w/ salted caramel sauce (dessert)..this was OMG off the charts!! Now that I think about it..we almost had everything on the menu for the day..haha! And everything tasted amazing..literally so good. This place was incredible. I'm not sure how the locals do it because if I lived here..my diet would be shattered since I would be eating here so much..ha! I highly recommend this place for anyone making a trip to Paris..or just for anyone in general..

Ravioli, so yummy and cooked to perfection!
Kimberly A.

Had the privilege of eating at this little gem of a restaurant on a recent trip to Paris for the marathon and can I just say..... The food here is Amazing!! Had the veal ravioli to start, which was so yummy! Little pillows of pasta stuffed with wonderfully seasoned veal and topped with a delicious sauce! For the main, we had the 5 hr slow cooked pork with the potato mouse/cream on spinach of some sort.... TO DIE FOR! I can honestly say this was some of the best pork I've had in my life!!! So tender and juicy and melt in your mouth good!! For dessert was the grand marnier soufflé..... OMG!! This little piece of heaven was to die for! It was the perfect soufflé and the sauce was out of this world! I'm so glad we had the opportunity to eat here while in Paris!!

Hands down the best restaurant we visited. All three courses were amazing and the waiter's wine recommendations were perfect.

Rabbit ravioli
PJ M.

This restaurant is crazy good! We found it on Yelp--highly rated. Martin was our server--he was very kind and attentive. His English was superb! He helped my husband select the wine--white burgundy St. Aubin. Delicious and at a great price. We both enjoyed our appetizers (sword fish for me and rabbit ravioli for him). The main dishes were equally as delicious. My husband had quail and I had skate. We were offered desert, but had to decline as we were satiated after such a great meal. Despite that, chef sent out a rum soufflé with caramel sauce. It was amazing!!!!! We hope to return this trip. Martin told us reservations for dinner are needed 7-10 days in advance. Well worth getting your act together for a world class dining experience!

Arrived on a hot summer lunch at Le Pantruche and what a fantastic dining experience. The value for money is stunning. 2 courses for just 19€. The dishes are rotating. You choose between either an entree or a dessert - the main course is fixed. Everything tasted amazing and the attention to detail was kept to a maximum.

Formule déjeuner à 19€ l'entrée/plat ou plat/dessert (plat du jour!)

I had high expectations for Le Pantruche given the rave reviews, but I was underwhelmed in the end. My priority for going was for the soufflé (with a salted caramel syrup) which was good but not one I'm still craving weeks or months later. (Unlike ones I've had elsewhere!) To me, 5 stars signifies 'cannot wait to go back, I NEED that..' Hence the 4 stars. The meal was very pleasant, classic bistro style, 25€ for entree/plat du jour or plat du jour/dessert. (Lunch offer). We deserved a few days in advance which was no problem. Wine by the glass; there is a small selection and reasonably priced (Chablis 7€) as you don't want a bottle at lunch! I would like to see a few more by the glass options. Overall it was a nice unpretentious lunch, friendly service and not too long of a wait between courses. I think the atmosphere at night might be nicer as they have a bistro 'boudoir' type deco going!

Starter: octopus salad and ham, ricotta and spinach raviolis
Shona C.

Good food, good wine and good service! We got the last table outside without a reservation, so I recommend booking to anyone else as you might not be as lucky. We had octopus salad with feta cheese and ham, ricotta and spinach raviolis to start which we're both divine. For our main we had a steak with sweet potato mash and magret de canard, both seasoned perfectly. We finished off with their famous soufflé and caramel beurre salé. Overall a great spot and if the prices weren't so high we would go back regularly!

Scallops
Lorna H.

Had the most extraordinary dinner at Le Pantruche on my last night in Paris. The prixe fixe menu is the way to go. While everyone raves about the oyster tartare, I opted for the foie gras appetizer. It was the size of a Samsung Galaxy and came with the most irresistible, velvety, slightly soy-ish tasting sauce. I was bereft when I finished. The entree were the tenderest, sweetest, perfectly cooked scallops I've had in ages. Again, a light sauce accompanied and some exquisite root vegetables. The piece de resistance was - of course - a grand marnier souffle. The table next to us ordered four - one for each guest. It is so good, even the nicest dinner companion will not want to share. Run to Le Pantruche the minute you make reservations to visit Paris.

Fois gras & poached egg..so amazing!

See all

Got a weekday lunch here with a colleague and absolutely enjoyed it. Try to make a reservation ahead of time or you may not get in.

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.

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.

I was really excited for Sacrée Fleur and maybe hyped it too much in my mind. It was good but there…read morewas some room for improvement. Making a reservation isn't hard but you do need to email them and there's no online booking system. You also have to confirm again 1-2 days before. I understand they are small with a limited number of tables so that's fair and it seemed like everyone showed up even though they don't require a deposit. On a Friday night, it didn't appear there was much chance or walking in although there were like 2 open seats at what would have been a shared table. The menu is small and includes some typical French starters, steaks, 3 non steak entrees, cheeses, and dessert. All steaks come with potatoes, 3 sauces, salad. Service was a highlight. The waiter was personable and funny, had solid recommendations, and made sure leftovers were taken home. Also had a solid wine recommendation after asking some questions. They probably get a lot of people who don't speak French and they had no problem speaking English. The food- ordered a ribeye medium rare. The steak was so so charred on the outside and it almost ruined the whole thing. I really wish they would have charred it way less especially when it was ordered medium rare. There is seared and then there is burnt; this was sadly the latter. The steak itself was fine, honestly nowhere near the best meat I have had but the price is quite reasonable for how much you get. I would say the steak was maybe 6/10 for me, largely due to the cooking. The fries were phenomenal. Definitely a highlight and really tasty and with a great texture. Salad was good, pretty typical. I wanted to like the sauces more but found them just okay. The best by far for me was the blue cheese sauce but even this one I thought the flavors could have popped a little more. Atmosphere was fun, there were a few bigger groups (6-8 which is the biggest they accommodate) but it never got unreasonably loud. Overall I wanted to love it but was a bit disappointed even though the service and fries were both great.

On our final night in Paris, we were looking for a good restaurant near our hotel and I stumbled…read moreupon Sacrée Fleur. It's a tiny restaurant, so if you're a party of two, you might share a table with others, but they have spacers so you don't feel like you're eating together. Reservations were easy to make. You email in your requested sitting and someone will get back to you shortly. We were able to get in a little ahead of schedule and start the adventure. Wines were reasonably priced and they had a good variety of cocktails. We hadn't had French onion soup on our trip, so we ordered it as an appetizer. Sometimes it can get a little salty, but these were very well blended. Sacree Fleur seems to be known for their steak and frites, so we ordered the steak for two. Steak comes out on a sizzling platter. You can turn the pieces over to keep cooking until your preferred temperature. It was quite succulent and the fries were well prepared. There are two dipping sauces and some salt to season your meal. We hadn't a great time and way too much food :)

We were so looking forward to the frog legs, onion soup and other delicacies pictured. We got there and the sign was just as it was with the same name -- Au Pied du Sacre Coeur. We should've noticed something was wrong when no one was inside. When the waiter (lone person working along with cook) gave us the menu, my wife and I stared at each other completely confused. The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup. He looked confused and just said no. Out of respect for him, we just ordered the charcuterie, which featured stale bread and a few slices of meat taken from my local grocery store in the U.S. Also -- they claimed to not accept any international credit cards. WHAT HAPPENED? Are all these reviews fake? Most likely, they underwent new ownership right when we visited. But new visitors -- please beware. Do not trust any of the reviews before mine. If I was mistaken, please post photos and just tell me that I was part of some elaborate joke to ruin a lunch for me and my wife.

That's not acceptable. The food, however, was. Hence my difficulty in giving one rating. Our 3 dishes tried were indeed solid. Generous servings of seafood in the bouillabaisse, and I have no qualms whatsoever with my cuise de grenouille and foie gras salads. Bread kept us alive. The free Cote du Rhône glass was appreciated for check-in! Our server had his head permanently at a 30 degree angle, staring at his mobile. Tis a shame. But he was friendly ( oh, and easy on the eyes). I liked the quiet location out of the chaotic fray, like up the street, with all its smoking and volume. PS This is lover's type of location. Even the dark end of the small street feels illicit!
