One of my favorite vasque restaurants in paris I highly recommend try duck liver or chicken casserole sooo good

We stopped by for dinner on Friday without reservation, and we got lucky and got the table. Great ambiance, classic French, pleasure to look around. Good list of wines and spirits, with wine by the glass still reasonable (€7). I had oxtail terrine as a starter - it was delicious, literally cleaned the plate. Veal liver with mushrooms was outstanding - real wild mushrooms (for those of us visiting from the US, it is a big deal), liver itself perfectly cooked as requested and perfectly seasoned. I like how side dishes are served in the little cups, without clobbering your plate. Had some Basque cake as a desert - that was not my favorite, but that's okay. Excellent service, prompt, friendly, attentive. Definitely recommended. Also reservations are highly recommended. read more

This was the best French Basque cuisine and dining experience while we were in Paris. It was unpretentious and clearly was where the locals dined. We ordered the duck confit 10/10! The skin was crispy the meat was moist - the flavor was superb. It was so good, my sister was gnawing on the bone. We also ordered a salad and came with generous prawns and the goat cheese filled phyllo dough crisp on top, we also ordered scallops with crab stuffed peppers. Everything came out all at once and we were pretty excited to dig in. Make sure you reserve lots of time to just enjoy wine and conversation bc this place gets busy but you know the food is being cooked up to perfection. With two glasses of wine, coke, and three dishes our bill came out to about $85, which is a great deal considering we were quite stuffed. We also ate at instragramable venues: Girafe, Kong, and Cafe de Flore...and this place, off the beaten path, was THEE Best! Recommend you download Google translator to understand the menu. Service was also very kind and warm! read more

Le Volant Basque - We were too hungry so dug in and then snapped a photo. This is the salad, the duck confit, and the scallops duo with stuffed peppers. - Basque Near Me - Paris, 75

We were staying near Le Volant Basque and saw the great reviews on Yelp, so we went there for dinner. They take reservations and get very busy, so definitely try to get one if you're planning to eat here. It'll take time to get through dinner as it seems most people order multiple courses, it's definitely a spot for regulars. My husband ordered the Beef Bourguignon which was deliciously tender and fell apart. It came with mashed potatoes, polenta, and rice. He said all were delicious. I wasn't feeling the best so I didn't get an entree but did get a few desserts to try out - the crème brûlée and dessert tapas (chocolate mousse, fruit salad, and tiramisu). All were decadent & tasty. I do feel like I missed out not ordering a full meal. I'd definitely make sure you're hungry when coming, portions are generous! read more

Service 5 stars!!! Parisians are generally unfriendly but the lady was very friendly. Spoke great English all the way. Steak 5/5 tender, fragrant, each bite was a delight Mushroom / escargot 5/5 I've never had escargot this tender, if I didn't know , I would have not known I was eating escargot Mushroom soup 5/5 Despite the mushroom was all blended in the soup, this was delightful. We all loved it Omelette with bacon and something 2/5 Maybe it had a strong flavorred cheese but we didn't like it Crème brulee 4/5 Felt this was just ok I would come back and try other items read more

Waiter was older and hilarious, had character! Chef is in the window watching and enjoying his amazing food being enjoyed .. the grilled ginger sea bass was great, perfectly cooked. Sides are delicious. Shrimp appetizer with garlic ginger is next level despite being a pain to peel. The rabbit (not pictured) is the absolute best that you will ever try. It's brought in a small pot with butter garlic vegetable broth and it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. Best restaurant in Paris so far. read more

Movie prop of a tiny French restaurant with short service. BUT delicious veal chop with mushrooms & rabbity terrine. Large portions and friend atmosphere. Our favorite French me read more

When you come to Paris this is the experience you crave. Unique space with sports memorabilia and a fantastic staff (maybe the owner) willing to guide you through the menu. The wine selection was awesome and they do a bit of mix and match pre-fixe or ala carte and will figure it out at the end of the meal. They specialize in game and offal but keep some mainstream items, like scallops, on the menu. We had the duck confit and rabbit which were both uncious served with sides of potato, rice and couscous. Easily one of the best culinary experiences of our trip to Paris. Make a reservation and don't worry if you don't get a confirmation, they will be waiting for you. read more

Le Volant Basque - Perfect duck confit. - Basque Near Me - Paris, 75

Arrived at this restaurant on the 25th of September expecting a meal to remember per yelp. What we received was nothing less than very bad French cuisine. We ordered the Mushroom soup to start and it tasted as if it came out of a can, in fact there were no mushrooms to be found other than a flavoring of mushrooms with pure cream. We have had great mushroom soup at other establishments in the past and this was a joke. especially considering the cost of getting there and back from our hotel. We then had the Foie Gras and it was below average and very disappointing. We have had the best at "Le 50" in Paris when they were still in business so we know Foie Gras. Next we tried the Sweetbreads and this was a complete disaster, the chef obviously does not understand that the membranes must be removed. There was absolutely no prior preparation as is required for this delicacy. So the restaurant knows here is the proper preparation should they wish to properly prepare sweetbreads. " To prepare the sweetbreads, you'll need to soak them in filtered water with a splash of vinegar for two hours or more (longer is fine, but two should do the trick). Change the water out a couple times while they're soaking, as this process is removing blood and impurities from the meat. When they're finished soaking, rinse the sweetbreads and put them in a saucepan with water or bone broth and a generous dash of salt. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. When the sweetbreads have cooled enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully remove any membranes, tissues or fat. Cover the prepared sweetbreads with a layer of parchment paper and flatten them out overnight in the refrigerator by placing a cookie sheet on top. Your sweetbreads will be ready the next day for cooking." None of this was done and the Sweetbreads were literally uneatable unless you did not know any better. How this restaurant has a 4.6 star rating is beyond understanding by anyone who knows and understands food. We recommend avoiding this establishment if they are in search of real French cuisine or until the chef goes back to culinary school if in fact he has any formal cooking experience at all. This restaurant is a black eye on French cuisine. read more

Long time small restaurant in the 15e. Authentic and delicious old fashioned French fare as cooked by a bonne maman d'autre temps. Make your reservation and go test their boeuf bourguignon, pâté basque, foie gras, and clafoutis aux figues when available. If you are more adventurous, try the rognons or tête de veau. Enjoy that small cozy, elbow to elbow, shoulder to shoulder very French restaurant. Santé ! read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to come for the highly rated beef bourguignon. The food was amazing! Highly recommend the beef bourguignon. They had a set price for appetizer + main, main + dessert, and appetizer + main + dessert. My fiancé and I shared a charcuterie board for the appetizer, both got the beef bourguignon as the main, and shared a creme brûlée for the dessert. This was more than enough food and included a good variety. The beef bourguignon came with sides including rice, mash potatoes. and polenta. While the food was great, I deducted a star for the slightly condescending tone from the waiters for being English speakers. This shouldn't deter anyone from coming since we noticed several other English speaking tables so it seemed to just be a service related issue. Highly recommend as a beef bourguignon / French cuisine restaurant in the 15th arr. read more

This hole in the wall is definitely a must try if you're looking for authentic French food in central Paris! Service is good - typical French vibe (aka can be slow). If you want to sit inside I reccomend to make a reservation otherwise enjoy the outdoor table (they don't have heat lamp so can get cold) Food is amazing! We ordered the beef bourguignoun and it's the best I've had in Paris. My boyfriend ordered the steak. We got a 2012 bottle of bordeux to top off the meal. Our meal also came w three sides - rice, grits and mashed potato which was silky smooth and flavorful!! For desert we enjoyed a creme brûlée. If you're looking for authentic French food, def visit this place! read more

A local restaurant with a wide reach- automobile inspired but simple interior- the staff is marvelous- the food very hardy - the prices really reasonable -- now here is my food review- on my visit this time I had the beef Bourgogne- the meat was absolutely fabulous- it was cooked to perfection- along with the whipped potatoes and yes polenta- not a tourist hangout/ just pure paris/french living read more

A good place to try comfort foods with varied selections, if you're from out of town. Looks like regulars frequent this place. They're friendly too. All of the food we tried, including the sweetbreads, tasted good, most especially their beef bourguignon. Service is the usual, as expected in French restaurants, you have to get their attention if you need anything else. With regards to Ambiance, it's a small place, seating is tight (based on a perspective from another country), and I'm still not used to smokers seated next to you, even if they're vaping! Smokers are usually seated on the outdoor tables. Will come back when I'm back in Paris, to try the other dishes. Kudos to the chef. read more

One of the best places I've ever been. Friendly service kind people. everyone knows everyone that comes here. You can tell the regulars, and old-time patrons come here, staff and the owners take pride in their restaurant. We love supporting local businesses and anytime we're in Paris we love to support this establishment, so glad we found this place. It's warm inviting with nice people they have menus and will help you understand some of what they have. The decor in here is very bistro like very warm and inviting. Thank you for such great food and very kind service. read more

2nd visit. A little busier this time, but noise level seemed no higher than last time. One waiter does better with non- French speakers, and he wasn't our waiter this time, but everything went well. My wife decided to get just a main this time: beef bourguignon. I ate a few bites and it was a real flavor bomb! The jus was just perfect. I ordered a couple of appetizers - pardon, "entrees" - an oxtail terrine with lentils and a casserole of snails and mushrooms. The terrine is served cold; it was tasty and the lentils were amazing. Why can't I cook lentils like that? The snails and mushrooms were very simple, sautéed in butter with garlic and parsley. I added a little salt to get them to pop a little, but they were good. Tonight, the star was the bourguignon. read more

Came here for our last dinner in Paris. I had been craving boeuf bourguignon for a really long time and this one certainly didn't disappoint. We also tried the rabbit stew - the meat itself tasted quite like chicken but the stew broth was quite unique. Also really loved the appetizers - mushroom soup and escargots with mushrooms (one of my personal favorites). Glad we got to try a variety of deserts with the tapas. Our waiter was very welcoming and funny - 10/10 service, food and overall experience. read more

I made a reservation only a couple of hours ahead. When I arrived I was seated right next to the kitchen window where food was given out. There were other tables available and I assumed they were reserved. Well some were, but not all. If it was just that I would have been fine. But a regular came in and proceeded to stand there talking to the chef for a long time and eventually his wife joined him and the waiter had to brush by me to pick up food etc. There were better tables that were never seated. I ordered the rabbit, which is why I came here. It was OK, but pretty bland. Comfort food, but not an herb in sight. Some parsley or thyme or something would have helped a lot. A tray of side dishes was given and I wasn't sure what they all were. One was mashed potatoes. Maybe aligot in one. read more

This restaurant was quaint and full of memorabilia mostly to do with race cars, boxing and film. The food was simple and delicious. It was chosen because the menu was Ofal centric. Rabbit terrine, duck hearts w/lardon, sweetbreads w/mushrooms, entracote w/grilled onion. We went early and there were only a few tables. By the time we finished they were full and hopping. I would highly recommend to the adventurers diner. read more

We made a reservation online. In the reservation request i added that i am a big man an needed a little more space than a normal French Bistro table. when we arrived were seated at a table for 4 with only 2 chairs at it. Very Impressed! I had the Starter-Dish-Desert with Escargot & Mushroom starter, the Beef Bourguignon and the coffee with 2 tapas for desert. My wife had the Dish-Desert with Beef steak & sautéed shallots and the same desert. All of our food was superb. We have found La Volant Basque to always have the absolute best in quality, taste and appearance of all dishes and have not been disappointed in the last 5 years. All of the staff are beyond courteous and make you feel most comfortable. The ambiance is perfect for a quiet dinner for two at 7pm. read more

I found this place on Yelp and it had great reviews so we decided to give it a shot. Actually, what's funny is we thought this was a different place closer to our Airbnb. The place is small and quaint. There was a lot of people from all of we the world and Paris. We got a charcuterie board and we liked the salami and pepperoni but we didn't care for the shaved meat on the board. At first we orders the steak but I thought I knew what steak tasted like so we tried their veal stew and it was delicious. The 3 sides polenta, rice and mashed potato's were also delicious too. And of course their bread was amazing as is the bread in Paris. For dessert we got 2 cafe au laits and a chocolate mousse. Chocolate mousse is not my thing but it tasted good. I would highly recommend this place for sure!!!! read more

I found this great gem on yelp. I made a call to see if we could get a reservation last minute and the nice lady on the phone said sure just come over. We got there about 20 mins later and had to wait a few minutes before being seated. We decided to started with the shrimp, salmon and goat cheese salad. This salad was amazing and delicious, it was a very large portion even for two. The we ordered the beef rib for two and again it was amazing and huge. The beef came with three sides; mash potatoes, rice and some sort of mashed corn. Everything we had was delicious and we really loved this restaurant. The owner and workers were all super nice and friendly. As we were finishing our wine the owner came around and offered us some of his wine which was so good. This is a place I will make sure to visit next time I'm in town. read more

This restaurant was a lot different that others we've been to in Paris, in that it reminded me of a small sports bar/restaurant. There are tons of cool posters, a tv showing soccer, and We we first walked in, we were a little hesitant about the service as they seemed a little rude as they rushed us to a table. Our server however was very kind and helped us decide what we would order. It seemed that all of their plates were shareable size. My friend was not as hungry so she only ordered the lemon and ginger shrimp starter. The shrimp was very tinder and had an excellent flavor. I ordered the 3 course meal for €32: Starter: soup of the day (pumpkin) Entree: beef Bourginoun Dessert: Crème Brûlée The pumpkin soup was very savory. In the first few taste, I felt unimpressed but by the end of the soup I realized I really enjoyed it. It was very light and a little savory. The beef bourginoun was like a stewed beef. I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor but the meat was very tinder. The meal was served with 3 sides: rice, mashed potatoes, and what seemed like cheese grits. I loved the sides. I believe their crème brûlée was the favorite part of my meal. I believe this was one of the best tasting crème brûlée I've had. I would definitely recommend. read more

What a great Restaurant. Came here because of Yelp. In Paris Yelp is not commonly used.... not a lot of reviews and not updated, so I was glad to see this restaurant a few blocks from my Airbnb apartment with lots of positive reviews. We walked in and the place was packed... no reservations but after like 10 minutes they gave us a table. Mostly locals on this restaurant which I like... always a good sign. This is a very warm and cozy place. Food was out of this world... unpretentious home cooking done right. Large portions for the most part. Probably good for sharing. As a starter I had the rabbit terrine. Good... not great. For the main course We had The Entrecote cooked perfectly to a medium rare as we order it, a fish that was delicious and that came with vegetables and the most incredible beef bourguignon. This beef literary melts in your mouth is so soft. The wine reduction sauce makes you salivate as you serve it. All comes with Puree, rice and polenta. The chocolate mousse is a most. It was yummy. Again, service here is very good and friendly. Great wine list and very affordable. Thumbs up. read more

Thank you fellow "Yelpers" for helping us find this Gem in Paris. Hard to find spot but just an incredible culinary experience. The escargot was outstanding in a mixture of mushrooms and garlic we loved it. The Beef Bourguignon was quite possibly the best any of us have ever had and the rabbit stew was sweet and tender. The sides of mash potatoes,polenta (perfection) and rice were outstanding. We finished with Creme Brulee that was creamy with A perfect sweet glaze topping. Our waiter helped us with just the right choice of wine. This is a french restaurant and everything is in french so it took us awhile to navigate the menu but with the help of technology (our phones) Lol. We succeeded. Our waiter was super friendly and added to our experience. Don't miss this spot if ever in Paris. read more

Tonight we had a wonderful evening at Le Volant Basque. This is a small restaurant, so I would be sure to make a reservation. From start to finish we felt welcomed and the food was delicious.

I was staying nearby and came here after seeing the reviews. It was good and service was great, but it wasn't memorable. I made reservations for Saturday evening but when I walked in I was the only one at 7pm. It started to fill up more around 7:45pm. English is widely spoken and the decor is cool, very old school pub feeling. Someone really likes car racing there. Seating is available inside or outside, and tables are tight but they have used the space very well. Food is traditional French food. I had the crispy goat cheese salad and beef bourguignon. Both were good and I loved the mashed potatoes that I could put the beef over. I had to add salt to the beef bourguignon though. I asked for a wine to pair with it, whatever would go well, and it wasn't that great. Not sure what it was though! Some red. read more

On our last night in Paris, we wanted to have an authentic dinner to commemorate a lovely trip. After browsing through Yelp for some suggestions, we decided on this neighborhood bistro which was a 10 minute walk from our hotel. We had a few bad food choices but luckily we made up for it by dining here. Le Volant Basque is a family owned bistro that local Parisians enjoy as well as tourists. We met a very nice Parisian father daughter duo who sat the table next to us. They spoke really good English and we had a nice time conversing with them after our meal. They informed us that the owner is very knowledgeable about wine and the food is made from the finest ingredients. I'm so glad we had the chance to engage with the locals at a great restaurant. The interior is quite small with outdoor seating which is typical in Paris. We opted to sit outside to get the feel of a sidewalk bistro. The weather was quite nice for 10pm in the evening. The menu is in French with English translation. You have the option of ordering a la carte or the prix fixe menu. The options are entree + dessert or appetizer + entree + dessert. We ended up ordering a la carte with an appetizer. Our dinner choices:: ****Charcuterie board ~so tasty! Includes jambon (ham), prosciutto, salami and pate/butter. ****Beef Steak with shallots ~so delicious! Prepared perfectly medium. The meat was so tender. ****Beef bourguignon ~amazing! The most popular entree. Beef stew braised in burgundy wine. The meat is soft and melts in your mouth. ****Sides with every entree are: rice pilaf, purée potatoes and polenta. All three complimented the meal so well. We absolutely loved our dinner here. Definitely recommend to those visiting the area for the first time. Food and service were both impeccable. Can't wait to visit again! Au revoir for now! read more

I wanted to find a nice little place that had amazing braised beef. This was literally perfect. It is a small little shop with a welcoming vibe. You can sit outside too but the inside is all eclectic and worth checking out. It had a substantial wine menu and I opted for something hearty and red, a nice Bordeaux. And it was going to great with that I ordered. The Beef bourguignon! It was amazing. Full of hearty flavor and so melt in your mouth even the fat was able to be cut with a spoon. It came with side of mashed potato, rice, and polenta. You then made your own plate basically. Just amazing. My wife got the soup and Creme brûlée as well. Everything was just great. We would come back for sure. read more
