Had a delicious experience here! Was needing a low commitment night to eat and ventured over here. The menu was very simple and very traditional to country French cuisine. Loved the offerings and I ordered the most popular dish. Covered in cheese and a gravy - very tasty. The sangria was phenomenal and just so cheap to what we have here in America. Would love to come back here! read more

What an incredible dinner. I had heard about this place and decided to try it out. The owner was incredibly nice and spent time going over my questions. He also taught my husband and I the proper way to eat foie gras. We also got the escargot It did take a little while for the snails to cool down They were molten lava and they got to the table. Though the garlic and parsley went deliciously with the snails. The duck confit was incredible. The duck literally fell right off the bone. We did order a side of cheesy potatoes but the duck already came with potatoes so I probably wouldn't do that again. A gentleman next to us and it have ordering dessert and we were very intrigued by it. He had mentioned that this dessert was something he grew up with in Paris, and that he would dare to say Les Fabricants made it better than his mother did. After that raving review we had to try the ile flottante (floating island) It was incredible. The meringue on top of the custard went together so nicely with the caramel sauce. I would come back here for that dessert alone everything else being amazing too was just icing on the cake. The restaurant itself is more of a hole in the wall kind of feel. I wouldn't say it's upscale but it feels kind of like a homely place. Where you get good food at great prices. Make sure you bring cash because it's a cash only establishment. Otherwise I would highly recommend checking this place out and missing some of the more touristy areas. read more

Les Fabricants - Inside - Basque Near Me - Paris, 75

This restaurant was by far the best dining experience I had in Paris. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and speak English. They seemed genuinely pleased to see us, which can not be said for most other places in Paris. The food was amazing. As a group, we decided to try escargot and I've never been more pleasantly surprised by a food I thought would be disgusting. I'd recommend it to everyone. I also tried the duck, which tasted just like steak. Perhaps the best part about all of this was the cost. For just under €20 I had drinks, my main course and the escargot. Although the location is a little off of the main touristy locations in Paris, this restaurant is well worth the trek. Definitely make the effort to stop by for a fantastic dinner. read more

Not many places in Paris are open on Sundays, so was very happy to find Les Fabricants. It's cash only, but quite affordable. The food did not disappoint. Seemed like traditional French fare. The snails and duck confit were great options, and dessert was delicious as well. read more

This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Paris! Good things about this place: 1. The portions are pretty big! 2. The servers are really friendly and patient. and 3. The food is yummy! We order the escargots with butter and garlic (super super good, definitely recommend!), the Confit duck (portion is ginormous!), the Camembert (really really delicious cheese, ask for bread!) Out of all three, I would totally go back to the escargots and Camembert! We also ordered Wine (bordeaux for me) and a light beer (Saint Omar). Both were equally refreshing! Note that this place only takes Euros, and you can opt to pay the bill at the counter or just ask the server to bring it over! Atmosphere wise, it's really chill and cozy. I would say its good for dates or just hang out with friends. read more

Our local friend recommended this place as good cheap traditional French food and it was right on the money! Food/Drink: we got their famous escargots with garlic and butter as well as the duck on cheese sauce. This was both our first time trying snails but they made it easy by already removing the shell! It was very tasty and very French. The duck was also very good although we weren't aware how raw slightly above medium rare is. If you don't like medium rare for steak, would recommend getting the duck well done! There's another version of the duck that also seemed very popular , it was a roasted version instead of covered in any type of sauce. The duck dish is definitely big enough for 2 to share if you aren't too hungry! Price: this was very cheap for the quality and quantity of food you get in Paris. 12 escargots was only €10 and the duck dish was around €14. The wine is also exceptionally well priced. Atmosphere: it has a very casual and lively atmosphere. Bonus: the waiters speak excellent English! Tips: ask for the English menu if they didn't already give it to you! read more

We're in Paris for a few days in the Marais District near the Bastille. I was looking for country style food and my wife found this. They are Basque oriented and the food is supurb at reasonable prices! My wife has a large Salad minus the meat items and I had the Cassoulet, a bean casserole with duck, sausage and bacon. Service is good and the owner serves the food personally. 5 stars! read more

A cash-only eatery, but the ambiance is platinum. You hear the sound of wine glasses "Bonne santé!", and the sounds of happy clients. For a short visit, we ate there two times. The portion is huge here, not kidding. The dishes that we loved: - Foie gras maison - Cassoulet maison - Entrecôte poêlée au herbes - Salade de poireaux (leek salad) Back to the U.S., each morning, driving to work, I'm day-dreaming the Foie gras served with compote and toasted baguette. Good eats: - Cassoulet maison: It is an American version of "Brown Sugar and Bacon Baked Beans". French does it with Italian white beans but not that sweet. - Entrecôte poêlée au herbes: Rib-eyes steak with fresh slides fried potato - Salade de poireaux: boiled leeks on a bed of salad and dressing. Served cold. Very refreshing. read more

This place is amazing!!! The Madam incharge speeks perfect English & is so nice and welcoming! The place is very affordable, authentic and rich. Order the sangria - you will not regret it! We had a great time! Thank you!! read more

Before I say anything this place only takes cash, just be wary. Took the recommendation of the staff at the hostel I was staying at and trekked on foot for about 20 minutes to find this gem. The escargot Roquefort were splendid and piping hot, with the perfect taste and texture. The real star was the Veal Cutlet Mountain style. If you like food smothered with sauce mushrooms cheese and meat you can't do much better. It is a hefty meal and is worth the price. It can get packed but rightfully so. If anyone is near this place it is a must try. Also they are friendly to English speakers so bonus! read more

Pretty delicious and cheap south western French food. It's always popping in here and gets packed really quickly. Worth the wait though - HUGE portions - come with an appetite. You will definitely not leave here hungry! Wine is also cheap, which is always a plus. The only negative points is that there's only one bathroom for the entire restaurant :( boo. And I suspect the food is already prepared and just heated up. Still, I would recommend les fabricants and especially le veau montagnard! Yum! read more

Lovely food, staff. Heavy on the potatoes but maybe that was just what we ordered. Sauce on the bavette deliciously buttery. Camembert Roti delish, and for dessert the Mousse so chocolatey! read more

So my family and I recently took a vacation in Paris and this little gem is tucked away off any big major streets. The price, food, and atmosphere is delightful! Service was great, food was delicious, and for the price, you can't beat it. They speak English very well to accommodate travelers too. We came here twice on our trip because it beat a lot of the restaurants surrounding it! read more

So. Freaking. Good. Super friendly staff, really generous portions and I don't think I've ever thoroughly enjoyed a restaurant salad that much (bottom left). Our server (curly hair and glasses - didn't catch his name) was kind and humorous, recommended a great red for our dishes. I highly recommend the escargot (not pictured), as well! read more

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....interestiinnnnggg. My friend and I went here on a Friday evening and the waiter sat us at a 4-person table. Not weird, really. Well I mean except for the two guys that were already sitting there... At first I thought we'd walked into some double-date/speed-dating thing. Nope. He just kinda, you know, sat us there. But other than that, things played out normally. My friend ordered the tuna and with each bite did that little appreciative moan thing that people sometimes do when they eat. I took that to mean she enjoyed it. I had the salade complète. It came in a big tin bowl which was at first overwhelming, but then exhilarating. The dressing was a little spicy, but hey. Keep in mind that this is more of a meat and potatoes type place. Hearty food. Also it's really loud (jam-packed with people that are hip -- like, straight out of Nylon magazine it's crazy). I wouldn't recommend it for a calm dinner with your grandma. read more

Just had dinner here and it was fantastic in every way. Super friendly staff. Affordable fantastic food. Clearly a favorite of locals but a fantastic vibe by staff and clientele for out of country visitors. The cassoulet was savory and delicious. Same for the confit duck and the lardons and goat cheese salad. Excellent sangria and great wine choices. Cash only so bring cash. We would go back again!! read more

This is the first time I definitely know I was eating Basque food. The house foie gras was awesome. The Camembert Roti was really creamy and hot the spot. I had the magret de canard, but I wish it was seasoned with a bit of salt. All in all, it was a really good experience. Definitely go here if you're in the area. read more

Delicious, inexpensive food with a friendly wait staff. English menus were available. Try the foie gras - it's made in house.

Food was good and tasty, we tried the Veal cutlets Mountain style and was great ( if you like creamy sauce and cheese, you can't go wrong with it). Also the duck (Magret) was very good. read more

What a wonderful find near our Air BnB! The escargot was amazing. The onion soup a Dream. For the finish we had 4 fromage plate and it was so generous that we had a lot to take home. Everyone speaks English and is very accommodating, but please try to order in French. Try this neighborhood gem! read more

Good portions of decent food, worthwhile if you're in the hood but certainly not worth a schlep. You'll stagger away with garlic breath no matter what, so get dessert or pack some gum in your purse. Nice, young atmosphere, but what is up with the French never playing music?! read more

We stumbled upon this place while looking for late night grub, and we are glad we did. Service most of all was spectacular, the owner was friendly and charismatic. We came in twenty mins before closing and they still managed to accommodate us without making us feel uncomfortable. Now to the food, we had the Veal, Duck, Chicken and Flank Steak, all of which were really good but true stand out was that sauce...I highly recommend this place. read more

If you're looking for a classic French meal at French prices come here! You want find many tourists so you'll be placed into a restaurant chirping the French language and the food is amazing!!! We got a cheese plate to start that was heated and served with a huge plate of bread. It was amazing. We also got a huge pitcher of sangria for €16 that we split between 4 people and each for two glasses out of it. The salad complete was the best salad I have had it Paris. So many flavors, so tasty and so many options inside the salad!!! Go here and get the salad!!!! Amazing! read more

Les Fabricants - The amazing salad complete with egg, fried potatoes, ham, cheese and tomatoes. The warmth of the potatoes melted the cheese in the salad! - Basque Near Me - Paris, 75

Bad service and bad food. Took the rib steak. They cut it wrong and cooked it wrong. Don't go here.

Cash only place. You will get lots of potatoes here. Most of the meal was potatoes and sauce. Service was so so. Don't expect much.

Before I always went to chez gladines, but now I'm happy about this restaurant serving the same delicious food ( and not expensive at all!) with way more place for guests. Service is very good, food excellent. Try the salad aux fabricants or the cote de veau, it's the specialty here! read more

Large dishes. Good service. Very noisy late at night. Great food. Not too pricy. Overall, quite good and definitely worth stopping by for a meal. read more

Awesome food, not too expensive but (just like other similar sud-ouest places) tends to get overpacked and you end up sitting next to shouting strangers. I'm now wondering if this is part of the sud-ouest dinner experience? read more

We went here on our last night in Paris because it was open late and are we glad we did. The people are very friendly and go out of their way for you. The food was equally amazing, the veal cutlet and duck confit are to die for. Make sure you have cash as they do not take credit cards read more

My friends and I got a recommendation for here from a local we met on the metro, and we were definitely glad we took it. This place is really energized, and has a great welcoming atmosphere. Of course the food was fantastic as well, everything from the salads to the grenadine cherry pie. We actually came back twice while we were in town,and I'm sure I'll be back again next time I'm in Paris. read more

Great food and great service! English speaking staff was a plus! The veal/potato mountain was unforgettable! Definitely go there!

So good! We were a large group including kids and the sausage was the only meal that was less than great. Besides the sausage, the only problem with this place is that it's cash only. We would have ordered drinks and dessert but we were concerned about how much cash we had. I had the bacon salad and it was terrific. Totally recommend this place. read more
