This is the kind of place that you should be searching for when you come to Paris. Small and intimate, 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. read more

I was there in 2021 and the food was very good, though the salad stuff on the main course was superfluous, 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 read more

While walking around Montmartre we stumbled upon this cafe as it was the only place that had a table free. We really lucked out. This was one of the best meals we had in Paris. 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. read more

Had this spot bookmarked and I don't remember why so we booked a reservation at 7 Saturday night. So cozy (you will meet your neighbor) that we asked to be seated outside. Too cold so we wanted back inside and the hostess was kind and accommodating which was a nice touch. & yes we made some friends. For Starters, it was French Onion Soup -Thick and decadent-delicious. Also, ordered the Egg with Foie Gras-first time having this combination and it was excellent. For Main, my Duck Confit Shepherd's Pie was pure comfort-came out super hot and filled with Duck-perfect given the unseasonably cold evening. The Beef Steak was tender and cooked medium rare as ordered and enjoyed. For Dessert, both the Crème Brûlée and Chocolate Fondant were some of the best we've ever had. Service was upbeat and engaged. Our Server took great care of us and loved his hustle. Dont miss this Montmartre Gem! read more

Had a lovely dinner here! It's a cute little place in Montmartre. We got a bottle of wine, the egg foie gras dish, French onion soup, duck, and creme brûlée. All of it was fantastic! I highly recommend visiting here for a great dinner in Paris. The space is quite small, but that's typical of the area. The prices are also pretty fair for the quality and amount of food! read more

We were exploring the Montmartre neighborhood in the late afternoon, so we decided to stay in the area for dinner too. I had this spot bookmarked (can't remember why), so we stopped in (without reservations) on a 6 pm on a Monday when it opened. They were still setting up, but two more tables were seated right after us. We shared the baked egg with duck foie gras and it was amazing. It's rich but not overly so. It's the perfect appetizer to share but I could have also eat one by myself. And at €8, what a steal! For my entree, I had The menu is small, which is nice because that means they try to perfect a few dishes. For my entree, I had the breaded veal, which is served with a side salad and mashed potatoes. It really matters which direction you slice the veal because one way makes its super chewy. Luckily, I figured out the right direction and it was good - especially with the gravy it came with. The mashed potatoes were nice and buttery. Hubby had the tartiflette topped with smoked duck breast, which also came with a side salad. The tartiflette is kind of heavy for one person but the smoked duck breast was really good. The duck confit shepherd's pie sounded great too but I had already eaten quite a few duck confits on the trip, so I wanted to try something different. For dessert, we shared the creme brûlée, which was excellent. Not too sweet and the perfect end to a great meal. Highly recommend if you're in the Montmartre neighborhood. read more

Le Potager du Père Thierry - The lamb 16 euros. A steal! - French Near Me - Paris, 75

I found Potager on a list of the best crème brûlée places in Paris. In that regard it did not disappoint. Potager is small. Less than 20 people got inside and honestly if they filled every seat it would be uncomfortable. Luckily we came at that lull time in between lunch and dinner. The restaurant is cute, romantic, and the staff was extremely kind and spoke English. We ordered an appetizer and crème brûlée. The tart we ordered for a snack was tasty not the main star. The true star was the delicious crème brûlée. My wife and I rated it a 10/10 on the CB scale. Perhaps better exists but so far this has been the best. The menu looked appetizing but perhaps that is for a return visit. On a side note, we received some tasty bread with out appetizer and my baby loved it. read more

Found this place because of the good reviews and called ahead to make a reservation. We started with the french onion soup and baked egg with foie gras. The french onion soup was hearty, and I've never had foie gras so I was worried it'd taste strongly of liver. I was wrong it was delicious and very rich. The duck was cooked perfectly and came with a slightly sweet sauce, the shepherd's pie was to die for it was not too salty and had the best mashed potatoes, and the fish was cooked and seasoned perfectly! This place is definitely cramped inside, but we didn't mind. Overall, we loved every dish as everything was so flavorful and regret not trying their desserts. read more

Everything was good. Thank you to my Yelp reviews to find this jewel!! This was the first time having foie gras and it was very flavorful with excellent flavor. The duck with honey glaze was so so good! The fish with the curry sauce was excellent as well and the lamb with mashed potatoes was good flavor. The dessert to get is the creme brulee!! You must make a reservation because the restaurant only holds about 25 people. It was our last night in Paris and it was the best meal yet!! read more

Two weeks in France! You'd think I'd have planned better than I actually did! But Yelp helped me wing it with restaurant and attraction reviews. This place, Le Potager du Père Thierry, had a few great reviews, and it was in the cool Montmartre neighborhood, so I figured I'd check it out. I got there about 45 minutes before their posted opening hour, but the waiter not only spoke english, he happily seated me in their sidewalk café and took my drink order. I had to try the onion soup, as I did at several places during my visit, and Thierry's version was one of the better ones I had. Cheesy, with a rich broth that was perfectly salted, and still crusty toasts floating within. Could've easily had another serving, but it was on to the steak dinner. Probably a sirloin steak, but not sure because in Paris steaks were just called beefsteak on menus. It was fine, but the brown sauce it was served with made it 'extra'. Decent fresh green beans, a basic side salad, and fried potato slices rounded out the meal. The creme brulee desert was good, not mind-blowing, but definitely not disappointing, and the thing that really boosted the whole experience for me were all the people in the street vibing with the brass band, materializing out of thin air, and cranking out funky favorites through my whole meal! I think I'd visit the neighborhood again, but I'd likely look for a different dining experience, to see if it would be as good as this one was. There are... so. many. choices! --but if I didn't want to search, I'd return to Potager du Thierry, without regrets! Bon appetit!!‍‍ read more

I just loved the authentic family atmosphere of this homey French restaurant located on a cobbled stone road in Montemarte. We did make sure to get reservations prior, but 'twas not too necessary for early evening on a weekday. We had a grand, delicious meal filled with so much bright flavors. The highlights were the Organic baked egg with duck fois gras, the duck breast in the honey sauce, and the creme brûlée. The former is often touted as the best and I can attest to this! The servers were splendid and most helpful making you feel comfortable in their very tight restaurant. Such a cute, romantic restaurant! It was such a pleasure dining here and experiencing all the great wonders of real French cooking. read more

Came here after visiting Sacre Coeur. It was walking distance from it, about 1/2 mile away. It was around 8 pm and the restaurant was packed. They have about 10 two person tables and 4 more outside. It's a small establishment and the tables are quite close together so we opted to sit outside. We ordered and waited about 15-20 mins before a different waitress came to ask us if we got our starters. Then she proceeds to tell us that "they" forgot about it. Idk who she meant by "they", either the kitchen or the girls or took our orders. We did have reservations for another activity after, which we ended up forgoing bc the food took longer than expected. But not to mention, it was raining so it was another reason why we just decided to forget about going. We ordered the foie gras to start and the onion soup. My foie gras was made in a porcelain bowl with a steamed egg on the bottom. I've never had it made this way. It was different and it was delicious. My husband said he liked his onion soup. For mains, we ordered the duck breast with honey glazed sauce and the beef steak with bleu cheese sauce. Both was super delicious and it came with potatoes and veggies. Definitely both really filling dishes. The service was great. All 3 of the girls that were there was courteous but one was more attentive than the other 2. One girl was training and you can tell. She gave us a pitcher of water with no glasses. And the whole thing with our order not being made, I'm not sure if that was the mistake of the waitresses. It was raining quite hard and we were sitting outside. They offered to have us move inside and moved our dishes inside. They ended up throwing out my food thinking I was done. I really didn't have that much left so I'm not surprised they would've thought I was done but I was actually looking forward to finishing it. For those two reasons, I didn't give them 5 stars. otherwise, they definitely would have gotten 5 stars. read more

Went here on our last day in Paris and it did not disappoint! We had tried to come earlier in the week without a reservation but were told they were fully booked. The indoor space is cramped but there were some fans going so it was not so uncomfortable. We each ordered appetizers and entrees. The egg cocotte with foie gras was the highlight of the meal for me. My 8 year old daughter didn't know what it was but couldn't stop eating it. The tomato tart and terrine with pear and cheese were both good as well. For entree, I had the sliced duck with honey and was very pleased with it. My daughter and wife had the lamb chop and petit filet and both were outstanding as well. I don't know that there are many places that offer such terrific value on their menu which is probably why this place is so popular among tourists and locals. Would highly recommend! read more

The "Soupe aux Poireaux" at Potager de Père Thierry is one of the best soups I have ever had in my life. It was very creamy, well-seasoned and not too heavy. God damn I wish I could have this every day! The French onion soup was also excellent, second best according to Eunji. As an appetizer, we also got the Foie gras with egg which was also one of my favorites. For our entree, we got the Magret de Canard which was excellently paired with the honey and blueberry sauces. As a bonus, I got to catch up with two of my Mauritian friends, Yashley and Pranav! I will definitely be coming back next time in Paris! read more

Listen.. I was born in Paris, grew up there, and this is my favorite restaurant in town. It's a complete hole in the whole and you'll be so glad you went! I love to take friends visiting there, or add to my friends lists of to-dos in Paris. Everybody loved it. I would describe the food at typical regional French food, with a twist. Like the tartiflette (one of my favorite thing), with the duck on it (which is a nice touch from south west of France). You can't go wrong with anything, the products are fresh they have menus in both French and English is needed. + prices are very fair for the portions. YOU NEED A RESERVATION. And it's only opened at night. Trust me, call, they speak English and it's very very very small!! Pro-tip: do not miss out on the egg cocotte. You'll regret it for the rest of your life. read more

The food here was absolutely amazing. The staff was English speaking and extremely nice and welcoming. First night I had the beef steak with the pepper sauce which was delicious and the potatoes were some of the best potatoes I've had. I returned and decided to try the duck for the first time and the waitress recommended the sauce of the day which was blackberry or blueberry either way it paired super well with the dish. The crème brûlée was to die for. Second night I had the chocolate fondue which was a bit too heavy for me but the vanilla ice cream they serve with it helped balance it out. It also came with a raspberry and orange sauce on the side which personally I didn't care for. Ambiance was nice too a bit small but for one person it was a lovely experience. read more

Disclaimer: Yes this place is tiny but if you're willing to set aside the claustrophobia syndrome then you're in for a special treat. We started off with the foie gras with egg cocette. It was delicious. It was rich and flavorful and the bread went nicely with the foie gras. I kind of wish they had a baguette though. For our entrees we ordered the duck and it's raspberry sauce. They are known for this dish and I can see why. The duck is cooked perfectly and almost resembled a perfectly cooked steak that's medium rare . The raspberry sauce added another dimension of flavor that complemented The duck perfectly. The mashed potatoes were delicious but they also went with the toasted potatoes. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the green beans. 4/5 For dessert we ordered Creme brûlée . I thought it was okay. Tasted how a typical Creme brûlée should taste. Overall the food was great and everything was decently priced. It was around 52 euros which wasn't bad since we ordered like 3 glasses of wine. Yah the restaurant is on the small side and you're like literally dining with others and moving your table so someone can get out Despite that we had a great meal! read more

So happy this gem survived the pandemic and has been my go to spot whenever I'm in Paris. Un grand merci y'all! read more

Le Potager du Père Thierry - Crème brûlée - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This cute little restaurant is situated about 10 minutes from the Basilica Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre. As a heads up, the space is really small; however this is a common Parisienne theme. There's about 8 separate tables in the restaurant. I really liked the decor of the restaurant - stone and cement walls with wooden chalk board menus. Despite this, the restaurant can truly speak for itself. The waitress was really kind and spoke English to everyone in the restaurant, even if they were locals. We ordered the peach and raspberry Kir to begin our experience. Both flavors were very pleasant. The raspberry was a bit tarte and the peach was very subtle yet sweet. For dinner I ordered the fish of the day, baked in Tyme, lemon, and butter. It was served with rice and a side salad. In the first bite. The lemon flavor was very strong, but as I ate the second bite, the flavors began blend very well. Before I know it, I finished my entire plate and was very satisfied. My friend ordered the king prawns. The creamy sauce was an excellent addition to the shrimp and paired well with the rice. For dessert I ordered the fruit crumble. It was tasty, with fresh fruits topped on roasted granola and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If I were to come back, I would try a different dessert or opt for a nice wine. read more

3.5 but I'll round up. Like many others have already mentioned, this place is TINY and the tables are very close together. I LOVEDDDDD the egg cocotte with foie gras. It is a must try and definitely the star of the entire meal. The onion soup was good, but not the best compared to others I've had in Paris. I ordered the seared duck with potato gratin and my boyfriend got the duck shepherd's pie. Both were good but very heavy. I preferred the shepherd's pie, as my dish only had a few pieces of duck on top and it was almost all potato. read more

Exactly what you want from what felt like a small, authentically French family restaurant. Other positive reviews are spot on. We loved the atmosphere of both the restaurant and neighborhood, and the food was great. Although, this wasn't our official engagement "fancy dinner", my girlfriend and I had gotten engaged earlier in the day, so we were extra appreciative of the staff/chef/restaurant for doing such a great job on what was a special day for us. If I could give this place six stars, I would, and we will be back the next time we are in Paris. read more

Great food.....had the goats cheese tart, the prawns and the cheesecake with an espresso....all really excellent

My friend recommended this restaurant to me. Since it also had good reviews, I decided to go check it out for myself. Upon first impressions, the space is quite small. You can barely squeeze in between the tables and have to do so awkwardly if someone is already sitting in the table besides you. Also, there were people waiting for a table so I felt like I had to eat quickly and be on my way. I ordered the king prawns in sauce of the day which came with rice and salad. The prawns were a good portion size but the sauce lacked flavor or even a pinch of sauce. My boyfriend had the beef steak with pepper sauce which was a bit too dry and chewy. Perhaps we didn't order the right things but to strike out for both of our entrees is a bit disappointing. The positives about this place is that the prices are very fair and the food came out quickly. If you still feel compelled to come here, we found out afterwards that there is a second store down the block where they have outdoor seating. I wish I had known that before dining here as the menu is exactly the same. read more

Aloha, Me and my wife are visiting from Oahu for our anniversary. First night here, I searched for someplace that stood out and unique. Found these folks and gave them a call. Please note: not knowing much more French then the Hawaiian words Hawaii tourist know, I was very curious how the call would go after I got past "Bonjour!" The young lady who answered in French quickly switched to English and was really inviting and pleasant. So, we booked! When we arrived, the same gal was everything! . Waitress, host, cashier... It's a very cozy place! Literally! (You'll see when you get there). Book a reservation. Prices were very reasonable! Food was excellent. Service was the best. A very unique first night in Paris experience. Mostly locals there, but very visitor friendly!! I feel this very friendly, inviting and excellent visit will set the tone for an amazing week with my wife in Paris!!!
