Les Antiquaires is exactly what I picture when I think of a classic Parisian bistro. It checks all the boxes. The ambiance is warm and bustling. The staff is great. The menu covers all the bases (albeit in my opinion the prices are higher than necessary). The food is delicious. The location is great (and perhaps this is why the prices are high)! I ordered the seabass fillet and my mom got roasted farmhouse chicken. I got a side of the potatoes dauphinois and she swapped her mashed potatoes for fries. We enjoyed every bite of food we tried. Our table was indoors but right on the cusp of being on the terrace. It was the perfect spot. Best of both worlds. Although I genuinely feel this is a pricier option for a bistro, I think the prices match its popularity and they can get away with it. It's right near the Musée d'Orsay so it's perfect for a meal before or after visiting the museum. The restaurant was very busy when we were there for lunch, and I was glad to have a reservation. It was actually one of my more memorable and enjoyable meals in Paris and a spot I definitely plan to return to on a future visit.
So lovely! We stopped in our first day in Paris for a snack at recommendation of dear friend who lives here and her recommendation was spot on -- our driver en route told us "it's incredible, you'll love it" so we knew going in it would be something special. The atmosphere is stunning, and our server was so kind and accommodating-- thank you Esteban for being so wonderful! The Comte and Roquefort cheese plate and onion soup were perfect -- the cherry jam and bread accompanying are incredible too, can't wait to come back for another meal
Les Antiquaires was another restaurant I had checked out during Paris because people online had highly recommended it. We made a reservation here and were able to be seated promptly outdoors, which thankfully in October wasn't too cold. The interior of the restaurant seemed nice and traditional, with a cozy and warm vibe to it. For the food we got beef bourguignon, duck breast, and also pate as the appetizer. The pate was great, the creamy texture paired well with the jam that they gave us. I also enjoyed the duck breast, since it was crispy on the outside with quite a bit of flavor to it. I wasn't the biggest fan of the beef bourguignon though, since some of the beef was kind of dry and the flavors for it were alright. I do think this restaurant is worth checking out if you come, although be sure to try some of their other meats too.
My wife and I were walking around trying to find something to eat and we figured why not try seafood in Paris? The host was very accommodating and found us a spot, even though we did not have reservations.. We ordered a few shrimps and some oysters for our appetizer and it wasn't too bad. It was good, but it wasn't like oh my gosh, this is so fresh. Lol My wife ordered their famous and highly recommended beef short rib stew. The meat was super tender, and it could have been shared amongst 2 people. I ordered the Seabass fillet and I enjoyed it. Super crispy skin and well cooked fillet. I definitely enjoyed it with the vegetables and the sauce reduction. Had a good time, definitely enjoyed the decorations and the decor inside. Our waiter was funny because he gave us an awkward look when we asked for ketchup for the shrimp and I pointed at my wife lol.
What a fun experience! First time trying escargot and it did not disappoint one bit. The prices seem somewhat reasonable. The escargot was 19 Euros, the lamb dish was 28 Euros, so it's really not bad. The lb shoulder was delicious, everything else was mediocre, nothing extra special. We came for the French and onion soup and tasted like something I can get in the States. We loved the service, our waiter and busboy were extremely nice and helpful. This was our first restaurant to try in Paris, it's our first visit. Overall I recommend for the vibes and escargot experience.
Oysters were amazing so was the Caesar salad. Roasted chicken dish was good. Onion soup was okay. Two stars for super weak martinis. I had 4 and my girl friend, who never drinks martinis, had 3 and it was just like drinking water. $122 USD spent on martinis that were filled with juice.
When is Paris...EAT HERE! Excellent food lovely service. Everything is top notch! This restaurant is an excellent experience. You must get a reservation if you don't want to wait. They also have an area out front to dine outside for light bites on a sunny day. The ambience is a must for your Paris tour.
The beef bourguignon was deliciously tender and flavorful. The service was great, we had everything we needed.
Dinner at Les Antiquaires is one for the books; it was a standout even amongst all the great meals we had on this trip. The wait staff were light hearted & jovial, & we had genuine rapport with our waiter. My group loved the shadowy, romantic atmosphere & classic French bistro feel. We ordered all the traditional faves: -- beef bourguignon (29 €): an authority on French cooking, L'Observatoire du Patrimoine Gourmand, recognized this dish as one of the most delicious versions of its kind. Rich & complex in flavor, soft-cooked veggies, beef that shreds at the mere touch of your fork. -- Grandma-style roasted farm chicken (26 €): tender & well seasoned, served with buttery mashed potatoes & an addictive brown sauce. -- Brillat Savarin cheese with truffle & a nutty semi-hard cantal cheese (16 € for two portions of each): both paired well with accompanying black cherry jam. -- raspberry tart (14 €): raspberries are one of my favorite fruits & this is one of the best tarts I've tried. -- crêpes Suzette (16 €): flambéed at our table. I'm not a fan of Grand Marnier but my companions were dueling it out for the last bites. If I were in a rom-com about an American girl in Paris, a vignette of me heartily laughing, fork mid-air at Les Antiquaires, would perfectly capture one of my happiest moments.
Seven years ago I posted a review for here but it was the wrong restaurant! I looked it up on Google maps after and got the one across the street. This is my review from "returning" and eating at the real place. Very good food. Service is outstanding and the atmosphere is so homey and comfortable. Our server was on top of everything. Once our baguettes were gone, he replaced the basket in about 1 second of us taking out the last slice. I had the Bouef Bourgignon and crème brûlée which was very good. Profiteroles was good as well. The crepes Suzettes are also tasty. I'd eat here again.
This place has a the classic French look and feel. They have fresh seafood on ice in the front, checkered floors, old wood built ins and of course the traditional French patio. We split a burger and the crispy chicken Caesar salad. We ordered and our food came out less than 10 minutes later! Burger was slightly undercooked but we don't worry about this so much in France as we have to in America. Since this is near the Musee d'Orsay, it was a little bit on the pricier side for Paris. My Coca Cola was 7,50€ and the bottled water was 9,00€. We haven't had to spend too much on food so we didn't mind for a tasty meal.
One of the best places we found in Paris for classic French cuisine. Everything is amazing and the vibe is ~chefs kiss~. Most notable is their French onion soup, tartar, pate, and yummy seafood from the raw bar (try the langoustines and shrimp if available!).
Our hotel recommended and made reservation for us at Les Antiquaires (translation to The Antique Dealers) and it was a great choice! It's located near Musee d'Orsay and walkable from our hotel near Musee du Louvre. Our server was wonderful and friendly. I love the cozy, refinement of the place with mirrors and unique furniture. Marinated octopus a la plancha Served in red curry sauce and roasted vegetables. It's simple yet very delicious. It's succulent and not tough or chewy. Linguine al Vongole Clams, white wine, garlic & parsley and fresh tomatoes. Great sauce! Seabass I think this was a special. Seabass was cooked perfectly and delicately seasoned. The side vegetables was delicious. Vegetables in Europe always taste so much better. It is a bit loud and packed in the restaurant. Hard to have a conversation but you will definitely enjoy the food.
This was our last dinner in France. Good food, good drinks and good company. My dad and I tried escargot. Yep we did it. We ate snails. Woo woo and they were delicious!! The restaurant was jammed packed and that didn't stop great service. The bread was fresh and yummy. The only part of my dinner I did not care for was my goat cheese salad. I had a goat cheese salad earlier in the week and was excited to try theirs. It was not my cup of tea. Yet my Duck Confit was amazing!! I loved the lighting of the place yet air flow was hard to feel and I felt over heated. Disclaimer it could have partially been a flash. read more
This is absolutely a top 10 must visit spot in Paris. The menu screams classic Parisian cuisine, every iconic French dish is there. Reservations are a must, because the place is basically full as soon as they open. The duck breast was incredibly juicy and tender, with a perfectly caramelized exterior, phenomenal flavor and texture. I would 100% go back just for that dish on my next trip. read more

This was probably my favorite meal in Paris. Sat outside and had a great time. Service was solid and the food was really delicious. Started with a french onion soup that was excellent and then duck. The sauce wasn't my favorite, a bit too spiced but still a great dish. The duck was perfectly cooked. I was also excited for the side of potatoes and while they were fine, they were a bit under seasoned and flavorless- odds for such a rich dish. But I still had a great time and the rest of their menu also sounded amazing. Lots of tourists and some locals too, and I enjoyed sitting outside. I got there a bit before the lunch crowd on a weekday and it did get busy but didn't seem to have a wait as far as I can tell. I carefully researched my meals in Paris and this was one of the few places I hadn't looked up before my visit and just went to because I was in the neighborhood and it turned out to be a highlight. It's also in a nice area. read more
4.35 stars rounding up Fiancé made a reservation here for their Escargot (he's a fance pants haha) and good thing he did cause it was a full-house The complimentary baguettes were A++ Foie Gras and Escargot were great appetizers. Foie Gras was rich and tasty and the Escargot, while they're not my cup-of-tea, I can tell they were tasty and very high-quality ingredients (restaurant known for their Escargot) Beef Bourguignon (a French stew): a unique and hearty plate, a bit rich so wishing we shared this instead of me ordering my own plate Confit Lamb Shoulder: not bad overall, also rich and hearty, but probably could've lived without it since the Beef Bourguignon (what restaurant is known for) was a good portion, along with being rich and hearty Highly recommend the one of the Apple Collins, so refreshing! Totally could've sipped on these all evening haha Go check it out! read more

This place was a gem to find! We had the Beef Bourguignon and the Breast of Duck. The meals were the best food we had in all of Paris. I asked the waiter for a wine suggestion based on my American wines I'm used to and he hit it out of the park! We didn't have a reservation at 7pm and they welcomed us with smiles and beautiful service. I would go back the next day if we had the chance! Outdoor seating and open air dining was the perfect ambiance. read more

We love this place so much last June and we decided to come here for dinner our first night here in Paris today. It's so funny. We ordered the same thing because we absolutely enjoyed every bite. Service as usual excellent super fast efficient and location was perfect and I love sitting and watching people and just relaxing. read more

On our second day in Paris, we braved the crowds at the Louvre in the morning and found lunch at Les Antiquaires on Rive Gauche, near our next stop at Museé d'Orsay. This was our third meal in Paris not counting hotel breakfast (which was very good) and it was our third good find. Again, none of us are huge eaters and this was a light lunch that was just right. Ms T ordered a sort of salad with shrimp and avocado and rated it "good". I had a very nice plate of smoked salmon which was excellent, and it was all I needed for the afternoon after that breakfast earlier. The place was busy in the early afternoon, and we had to wait a bit, but the service and food were fine. On only one visit, it is difficult to really test the menu, but if I was there again, I would certainly consider a return visit. read more
We stopped here around 2:15 on a Tuesday, and it was already packed! We didn't have any reservation and only waited 5 min. The food is delicious! They are known for their seafood. We started with a plate of escargot with pesto sauce. I got the niçoise salade with tuna (i was expecting canned tuna but actually received a real filet of tuna), my husband ordered the octopus with curry and vegetables. We both finished our plates. I had a cappuccino afterwards. We will be back when we're in the area. Total bill was 91€ read more

Very nice French bistro with traditional outside seating as well as great traditional food Note: the seating arrangement in the outside can be a bit cramped (think more tight that NYC style) but being outside helped and was still great Food: Seared foie gras 5/5: big foie gras fan and this version is a pan seared with a sweater glaze. More firm and not very spreadable but eaten with bread it is fantastic Truffle pasta 4.5/5: fantastic truffle pasta with prosciutto, very nice Lamb confit: 4.25/5: very tender and falling apart with a great braised sauce. The mashed potatoes were a little plain though and maybe some veggies wouldve been nice read more

Can't believe I didn't write the review for this place from the Paris trip!!! Anyhow... I still remember my time here. So let's begin. Came to Paris after some restrictions were lifted to go travel. So I had to do some homework about places to eat near where we were staying. This place was one of the highlights! The restaurant is more of a brasserie styled fare and environment. And the tables by the outside of the restaurant is very Parisian. We made reservations about a month before and glad we did. The first time we got there, we saw a huge line up. And we were sat down to a table shortly after. I tried my grade school French that I have long forgotten with the service staff. I'm so glad his English is better than my French. Lol! So we decided on the food, one dish that stood out to me was the truffle and mushroom ravioli. So good!!!! Other things were octopus, duck and stewed beef. Oh man!!! Highly recommended!!! Service was excellent!!! And we decided to come back the next night. That's how much wife and I loved this place! read more
Good food and good service. Make a reservation they get busy. Close to Musee d'Orsay so good option before or after visiting museum. I had lamb plat, hubby had onion soup and goat cheese salad, cousin had special of the day soup (don't remember what it was) and a seafood dish. They had assortment of oyster options and oyster shucker out front- sadly didn't try any- maybe next time. We all enjoyed our meal. Yes, I recommend ;) read more

We ended up eating at Les Antiquaires completely by accident, and I am so happy that we did. To be honest, we had a reservation at Bistrot de Paris right next door, and they would not let us inside because we had sneakers on (come on!). Sad about that, and within a time constraint due to another commitment, we ran down the street and popped into Les Antiquaires to ask if they had a table. They did, and it was amazing (who needs Bistrot de Paris!). Les Antiquaires has an extensive menu and plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. It is adorable and cozy inside, and everything we ordered was incredibly good. Above all, their service is OUTSTANDING! I could not believe how attentive and friendly their servers were. They really go above and beyond here to make you feel welcome and comfortable. If you are in the area, definitely check out Les Antiquaires. It is a gem and I am so happy for our accidental meal there! read more

Everything about this place was fantastic. A wonderful French experience and everyone in our group of 5 loved it. Hands down the best crème brûlée I've ever had. Our waitress was incredibly helpful to all our many questions about the menu and she was terrific helping one in our group who has celiacs issues. read more
