Au Petit Riche

Incredible experience in a whole! From the moment you step in, you are welcomed and escorted to your sit, the staff are very nice and friendly. The food was exceptional for me! I ordered confit de canard! The sommelier matched a red wine for my main dish and it was perfect!! It elevated my experience. Thank you so much and for everyone reading this - book a sit and enjoy a wonderful dinner or lunch. Merci beaucoup 🥰

Came here for the quenelle, the sauce was beautiful warm orange, looks appetizing. It tasted good, but just not as delicious as the one I had before, a bit pitty. The dessert crème brûlée was very good, a nice choice for sweet lover. The restaurant was more spacious than it looked from outside.

We came for luch. Very nice atmosphere and great variety of typical French plates.

We decided to visit the restaurant after hearing positive reviews. We arrived as a party of two for dinner, curious to see if it would live up to its reputation. For starters, we ordered the French onion soup and a roasted beet salad with two types of beets. Initially, the soup looked promising – it was served in a large bowl and had a creamy appearance. However, we quickly discovered that the bowl was mostly filled with caramelized onions and barely any broth. As a result, the dish ended up being overly sweet and unbalanced, almost to the point of being difficult to eat. Essentially, it didn't resemble a soup at all. The roasted beet salad, on the other hand, was enjoyable. The combination of flavors was interesting, mainly thanks to the cheeses that accompanied the dish. The presentation was also appealing. While the salad was pleasant, it didn't stand out with particularly unique flavors. For the main courses, we chose the traditional veal stew and a sea bass fillet. Both dishes were well-prepared and flavorful, and we genuinely enjoyed them. To accompany our meal, we ordered a chilled white wine, which turned out to be a great choice and reasonably priced. Overall, the experience was somewhat mixed. While the main courses and wine were satisfying, the disappointing onion soup left us feeling that the meal didn’t fully meet our expectations.

One of the worst dining experiences we had during our two weeks in Paris. "Au Petit Riche" We waited at the front to be checked in while other groups walked straight past us. Booking felt pointless — would’ve been quicker to just walk in. The bartender was arrogant and moody. The restaurant is huge but clearly understaffed. Our waiter, Anthony, seated us at table 54. We were crammed into a small space with rickety chairs and too many tables. The vibe was unfriendly, almost like you’re supposed to feel lucky just to be there. Staff didn’t seem welcoming — maybe they just don’t like foreigners? Other guests were eating while still wearing their coats like they were dressed to walk their dog. The only bright spot was the tall manager, who seemed professional and friendly and upbeat, but he was busy with a black-tie event upstairs so I didn't get to raise my points of disappointment with him. I ordered a fillet steak for my son, medium-rare, I specifically said, “Please please don’t serve it too rare.” It came out nearly blue, see the photo, it didn't get eaten. The pate en croute was nice. I complained. The waiter apologised but didn’t even take it off the bill, despite knowing we didn’t eat it. He offered something else, but at that point, we just wanted to leave. I felt he was too nervous or too new to deal with it properly or speak to the chef or manager they should train the staff how to deal with problems. Not acceptable. We left and took our son to eat somewhere else. Total disappointment. This place feels old, tired, and arrogant, living off a once-good reputation. Definitely wouldn’t recommend. Give it a miss. I think that the place has too many customers who are scared to stick up for themselves or mention disappointments.

A Parisian classic. Well worth the stop. The decoration is amazing, the food is great and the service impecable

Ate here recently! Loved the entree. The rest of the food is really good too. Recommended!

The food is very good. The escargot dish is delicious, garlic and parsley butter sauce. The fish dish is cooked perfectly. The fish is fresh and tender. The red wine sauce is amazing. reservation is recommended. We walk in so we have to sit in the front area with table stool. The restaurant is nice. The staff is friendly.
