Au Pied de Cochon

Au Pied de Cochon is such a classic French spot, and as a foreigner in Paris, I was genuinely impressed by how welcoming the staff was. Some of the nicest service I’ve had here — a few waiters even spoke English without any fuss, which was really appreciated! I had the French onion soup for €9 and it was not only a great deal, but absolutely delicious and super filling. My partner ordered a more expensive main, which unfortunately didn’t feel worth it for the portion size. So my tip: go for the onion soup, enjoy the lively, traditional vibe, and the great service — just be mindful when choosing your dish. Still a really good experience overall!

Au Pied de Cochon was such an incredible experience! My favorite meal in Paris so far! I got the chicken and pureed mashed potatoes and they were absolutely divine! Then you cannot leave without ordering dessert! I recommend the profiteroles! I will definitely return and believe it is a can’t miss experience! Also it’s the only place in the city you can get a decent meal late at night or early morning! We ate at 1:30am and it was parfait!

Good dining experience with Au Pied de Cochon. The waiter who helped to take orders can speak English, but the lady who served our table speaks only French. She is very helpful, nice and polite. The food was great and we enjoyed the meal. At the end, we scanned a QR code on the table to pay the bill by Apple Pay, very interesting!

I recently visited Au Pied de Cochon, having read about its famous "chandelier of whispers" in an obscure old book about little known decor in Paris. Well, it did not disappoint, let me tell you. I struck up a conversation with the restaurant handyman, or furieux, as he is called in French and he told me of the history of the chandelier. Crafted in late 19th-century Paris during the Belle Époque, the "Chandelier of Whispers" was commissioned for a famous restaurant called Le Réverbère Enchanté by artisan Émile Dubois. Inspired by nature and obscure fairy tales, its design featured hand-blown glass orbs resembling bulging dewdrops and intricate, swollen, vine-like round birds and metalwork, evoking an enchanted forest full of overweight creatures. Over the decades, the chandelier silently witnessed the restaurant's history, illuminating celebrations and offering a sense of continuity, overindulgence, and hope, even through WW II when it was stored away in a morbidly obese French novelist's countryside farmhouse chateau for safekeeping. It was said to have absorbed the collective memories of its surroundings, becoming a repository of the community's soul and girth. In the 1970s the chandelier was found in the attic of an abandoned Victorian mansion and purchased by the owner of Au Pied de Cochon where it was prominently displayed, captivating patrons. It stands as a testament to Parisian craftsmanship, resilience, and the quiet magic of everyday eating, reminding diners of the countless stories unfolded beneath its rotund enduring glow. Anyway, as my wife said, "Enough already about that fat #$&@! chandelier, how about the amazing French onion soup, beef tartare and mussels"? She had a good point. This was a great restaurant and not just because of its famous chandelier. Can't wait to go back, drink the wine, sample the menu and hear more fascinating stories.

Had a very pleasant dinner for 2 on the terrace. We reserved in advance to ensure a good table and would highly recommend to do so.. Food was pretty good, the onion soup and the pork with purée (main) was delicious, but the escargot with pork (starter) was a bit too salty! Pricing was fair for the taste and the portion sizes given. Would definitely come here again if looking for a calm dinner

Exiting the train station at Chatâlet Les Halles, a few steps from the Borse de Comerce, you will find several restaurants. The Au Pied de Cochon steps into a vibrant corner. Outdoor sitting, indoor sitting, upstairs, downstairs, gives the guest a lot of options. The host and waiters were great. The chicken breast was moist and savory, and lettuce fresh, made with their own dressing. The pork after 14 hour cooking was very soft, covered with slight bit of pesto and roasted Parmesan cheese….

Bustling brasserie that’s open late nights. Came here for dinner with my family and waited for about 40 minutes to get a table on a Saturday around 8pm. Anthony Bourdain ate here so I imagine that’s partially why it is so busy. The food is straightforwardly French and the waiters are the same. I think that there are better options in Paris for French food but this is convenient is you’re looking to have a late night dinner. The potato au gratin was the best part of the meal for me. Service is slow but the ambiance is nice so you can easily hang out here for a bit. They have little pig-shaped desserts at the end, which was a cute touch.

I visited just because i wanna have some seafood in the final night in paris, turned out it is quite average. The calms have sands in it and the oysters are not very fresh. Frog legs are not marinated enough and overcooked. Only the pork is good. It is open 24/7 though if you wanna have something after drinking here may suit you.

We walked by the restaurant almost everyday during our 10-day stay in Paris last month. It looked busy and lively right by the Les Halles metro station facing the plaza by Westfield Forum so we decided to give it a try. We did not realize its popularity when we were not able to make a dinner reservation online for the same day despite the size of the restaurant and it's open 24 hrs a day. However, we were able to make a lunch reservation the next day. We sat by the street so it was a perfect spot to people watch on a sunny afternoon. I couldn't pass up on having escargots to start my lunch and they were delicious. However, I was almost giddy when my grilled pork trotter came to the table with a salivating side of fries. I tried hard to be civilized while devouring the trotter. I managed to be able to use my cutlery and refrain from using my fingers to get every bit of goodness from the trotter. While the skin and the crust were perfectly crispy, the inside goodness was tender while retaining the chewy texture in every bite. It was a rather large trotter piece but I finished every single part of it. The service was excellent and our waiter was extremely helpful.

Lovely spot for traditional French food! I visited this classic Parisian spot for dinner after a friend who grew up in the city recommended it. The servers were friendly and guided us -- and our English menus -- to a cozy little spot in the corner of their outdoor seating area. Au Pied de Cochon is known for their seafood and, as the name implies, their pork, so we knew we had to sample both of those specialities. We split an order of escargot to start, which was fantastic. The snails were tender and had a slightly briny, earthy flavor that went delightfully with the fresh herbs and butter. It came with plenty of crusty baguette slices, which was perfect for soaking up all the extra butter. My friend got their Salade Saint-Antoine, a signature salad loaded with several cuts of pork, potatoes, and even more escargot. It was massive and not exactly the most salad-like, given the copious amounts of pork, but it was quite tasty. I ordered their classic Moules Frites, which were also great. The mussels were cooked in a flavorful white wine sauce, and it came with plenty of fries to soak up the extra sauce at the end. I did find the mussels slightly overcooked, as they were a bit too chewy and almost gummy, but I appreciated the flavor of the sauce. On the other hand, the fries were a smidge soggy and very short, so you had to dig for them at the bottom of the container. We ended the meal with their complementary meringues, which were shaped like little piglets. It was a very cute way to finish off a solid meal!

Four stars food, 1 star service. To be specific, just our waiter. He was the only grumpy, frumpy, waiter who singled out tourists the entire time we were in Paris for this trip. Our expediter, who was great by the way, had mentioned the waiter said to bring our starter and mains out at the same time. The tables are postage stamp sized...he knows the plates would not fit. We had to scramble to move our starters into our main dish. Ugh. But I digress. The starter of haricot vert salade was very good. Perfectly blanched and seasoned well. Wife had the stuffed pig's trotter. As far as we could tell, it was stuffed with a blend of pate and champingon. For me, I had St Anthony's temptation because, well we are at the foot of the pig after all. All the bits were very nice from tail, to ears, to trotters. Albeit very rich as one would expect. After the treatment from the waiter, and the fact that this restaurant was packed like sardines (yes, we know of brasserie culture, but this is to the 10th degree), we decided not to have any dessert and made our way out. Last bit...if you pay using the QR code, you get charged like 2 euro for a convenience fee. I made the waiter begrudgingly bring the card machine...I don't pay money to you for something that makes your job easier.

Tried the pied de Cochon grille. It was magical. No one got offended when I ate it with my hands either. We ordered it with pomme puree and had the cafe mignardise selection along with the 12 oyster order (yum) . Overall great atmosphere, great service and an overall perfect place to have a leisurely meal. Our server was attentive and quick.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to eat late at night in Paris and stumbled upon this gem. Even late in the evening, the restaurant had a lively and welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious! Our waiter, who spoke English, went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and provided excellent service. We truly enjoyed our visit here and can't wait to come back again soon. Highly recommend!

A very busy restaurant with some definite highs. The service was helpful and attentive although they were hustling about and there were some longer gaps in attention - but not a big deal. We had 1/2 lobster and 9 mixed oysters as starters - both very good. The mignonette was pretty much just red vinegar - I would have liked som additions to it (like champagne). The sea bass main was very good. Also tried the pigs foot special which was tasty (not a lot of meat on a pigs foot). We tried a glass of champagne, Pinot noir and Bordeaux - the champagne was spectacular and the wines very good. The prices were appropriate.

This was on January 1, 2001 in Paris. We dined around 2:00 pm and the restaurant was bustling with many tables of well- monied Russians dining on huge seafood towers....Service was formal and professional...my wife ordered MUSSELS MARINIÈRE with French fries . I ordered frisée aux lardons....we shared a platter of various oyster varieties....Yes so much better than many uppity restaurants in America...

I have always gone to the one in Montreal with the same name, must try the original. Without reservation there's a wait depends on the time of the year and the wait time will change. I got the seafood platter and it was divine!! The onion soup is a large portion base on the French portion. Food was awesome and it is good to see local Parisiens come here with friends as well. It is definitely worth a stop if you are in Chatelet area.

First bucket list restaurant in Paris, frequented by Anthony Bourdain. It's a traditional French bistro with indoor and outdoor seating. It's very quaint, but popular and busy. The service was excellent with several people assisting. I had to order the restaurant namesake and also Bourdain's favorite, the grilled pork trotters. I had never eaten pig's feet this way before, but it was delicious and very filling. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Paris.

Our experience was very disappointing. The service wasn't what we would expect from the heart of Paris and the cocktails were not well made. The dry martini was anything but dry and my daughter's cosmopolitan did not taste right. Further the Bordeaux we had at dinner was sour and tasted cheap. The oysters we had were okay, but our steaks were tough and incorrectly cooked and one of them was almost raw when we cut into it. We had ordered greens but there was a shift change and had one bad waiter swapped for another. Furthermore the bathrooms stunk of urine and were dirty. I really hope we don't get sick. Bad food, Bad Service, worse value. we dined the night before at another Parisian restaurant and had better food and wine and paid less. my McDonalds meal was a better value at 1/10 the price. AVOID!

Great ambience, but mixed on the food. Definitely a tourist-y spot, but enough French speaking customers as well. The French onion soup was good, but I was disappointed in the oyster sampler (we had to release them from the shell ourselves) and the pork croquettes were unremarkable.

The first restaurant I tried in Paris! We picked it because we arrived pretty late that Sunday and it was walking distance from our hotel. We made a reservation prior and luckily we did because it was pretty busy that night. Apparently this restaurant is known for their French onion soup, so we had to order that. We also got the candied pork, deli ham, mussels and a bottle of their wine. Loved their mussels and the wine was great. The French onion soup was good too but wouldn't say it was the best I ever had. The interior was lovely and so was our server. Definitely felt like a true French experience!

We randomly found this spot on Yelp, which happened to be close to our hotel. We were unable to nab last minute reservations but we got there at around 6:40 pm on a Tuesday and they were able to seat us outside. To start, I had an aperol spritz mocktail, which was really good. It tasted like an actual spritz, which made me suspicious if they really did use alcohol-free alcohol. For food, we shared: Bone marrow (snails fricassee with garlic cream) - I have mixed reviews about this one. On one hand, the garlic cream was good, albeit very rich. On the other hand, I feel like it covered up the natural bone marrow taste. 3 oysters - I can't remember which type we got but these were pretty standard. It's served w a mignonette and some brown bread Périgord-style stuffed pork's trotter (mushrooms, new potatoes) - the trotter was meh but the mushrooms were perfectly done. The texture was great and it had lots of flavor The Temptation of Saint Anthony, Patron of the Butchers (breaded pork's tail, ear, snout and trotter served with Béarnaise sauce and homemade French fries) - I'm all for trying different parts of the animal but this wasn't it for me. I wasn't really sure what to expect but it was mainly fat and skin. Most of it was pretty salty. It wasn't worth it for €27.50. The only thing I enjoyed from that plate was the frisee salad. Overall, it was a pretty heavy meal, and it wasn't cheap. If you still want to check it out, I would recommend going for drinks and apps because the entrees are very rich.

Loved everything about the restaurant, but made a big mistake ordering the pork trotter. Beautiful place inside and outside. Wonderful staff. Outstanding dessert. My wife enjoyed the onion soup. I did not care for the trotter in any way. There were many menu selections that would have been good. Absolutely French ambiance. Next time I will choose a different menu item.

We had a very reasonable dinner here. We weren't that adventurous, the kids had the fish and chips and "steak". The steak was really just a hamburger but they liked it. The vegetable platter was good and the pork tenderloin was very good. The duck fois gras was good as well. Overall I would say this was good but by no means great. A solid three stars.

This place is a must when you come to Paris. I tried to limit myself to French cuisine when I was there and this was my favorite place that I tried. It was recommended to me by my friend who lives in Paris, so I knew it was a solid reco. Bonus: it's walking distance from the Louvre, so it's a nice little afternoon to come here for lunch, then walk it off at the museum after. They have all the French classics: - Onion soup - Frogs' legs - Escargots - Foie gras We ordered one of everything and it was a delight. My favorites were the onion soup and the fois gras. The escargots were great in flavor, but slightly tough. The frogs' legs were good, too, but not outstanding. Service was good and it didn't take long to be seated or get food, and as others mentioned, they speak English. Would definitely return!

We found this great little restaurant while walking from the 5th Arrondissement to E. Dehillerin, and we decided to stop for lunch. We started with six oysters on ice, with a red wine vinaigrette and lemon, followed by mussels with cooked pork on top! Sounds weird, but it was great!!! Naturally, we had to order a couple of glasses of white wine to go with it. Waiter was funny and friendly. When we left, he gave us two little piggy meringue cookies, which were great.

An OG 24/7 Paris staple that everyone, locals and tourists alike must visit! The service is excellent and the food is even better! The pictures speak for themselves. We made a reservation for 16 and were seated upstairs and were well taken care of! A++++

This restaurant was so much fun to dine in. It leans into an almost kitschy, old-school French bistro vibe but centered around everything pork (the restaurant's name is literally Pig's Foot). The menu is teeming with little pig sketches, the dessert comes with complimentary pink meringue pigs, and even the bathroom handle is a pig's foot. I ordered the Temptation of St. Anthony because I wanted to try all nonconventional cuts of the pig-- tail, ear, snout, and trotter. Anthony Bourdain ordered the same dish on his program No Reservations! It was incredibly indulgent, so much so that towards the end of my meal it felt like lard was running through my veins. The side salad deserves a shoutout because without those greens I probably would've keeled over from eating too much fat.

We were extremely jet lagged and woke up at 3am, hungry. Most places were closed but the Uber arrived within 2 minutes and took us to this restaurant we found on Yelp. This place is very popular. When we arrived we were told by security that they were filming, when I realized that wasn't true we stuck around. We were eventually let in along with another group who was also waiting outside after a few crowds left. We decided to order the seafood platter since I usually order it if it's on a menu. The seafood platter didn't taste fresh at all. The French onion soup was delicious and so was their Suzette sundae.

Charming restaurant with excellent service and great food. The French onion soup was very good and the seafood was top quality.

We always stay near the Pig's Foot and my in-laws love it but until this week my wife and I had never eaten there. When we arrived at our rented apartment starving in the midst of a rain storm, we decided to scamper through Les Halles to get some dinner. We started with a dozen perfectly shucked oysters and followed them up with 1) the mussels with three kinds of pork and 2) the 'candied' pork loin with mashed potatoes. Both were spectacular-- the pork loin super tender and flavorful alongside some silky mashed potatoes and the mussels plump and tasty alongside the ham and chorizo. Both dishes were highlighted as specialties and I can absolutely see why. To finish the meal we had the Religieuse which featured a chocolate eclair with a coffee cream eclair on top. It was also great! Service was friendly and it's a really nice space -- especially liked the chandeliers. Definitely will return

This is our 1st restaurants of my husband in Paris and the food is soooooo delicious, the host was attentive the service and the staff was all the way with you vibes is amazing,, Athena best crochets I ever have.. I highly recommend this place, I can't wait to hear your experience. Cheers!!

We went here, like others out of convenience expecting fine dining based on another platform reviews. We were met by the rudest hostess, but carried on. Then wedged into tables, literally inches from your neighbor on both sides. So much so the tables had to be pulled in/out to be seated. Food was from average to terrible. 22 hour glazed ribs were boiled with sauce. Absolutely terrible. Waiter was more rude than the hostess, who made a direct and rude comment about the napkin being partially in the dish. This place is one of, if not the worst I've been to in years. I would NEVER go there again. Much better places.

The staff was extremely rude. Terrible service, confrontational towards guest just because a different table was requested even though there was plenty of space as it was late at night. Mediocre food.

This was hands down the best place I ate while in Paris. Our servers were soooo nice, and were very respectful to us and happy. One of them even gave us little pig meringues at the end! Also it is very short walk to the louvre, so perfect if you need a place to eat before hand. We sat in a charming outdoor table with our party of 6. It was not too loud or busy. The bathrooms were elegant, and indoor dining looked great. You have to try this incredible restaurant!!

The food was delicious. Loved everything we ordered. I loved the outdoor seating . Good cocktails as well. Went twice while I was in Paris and will definitely go back on my next visit.

Very delicious. Service was great and our meal was amazing. My friend and I split the pork avec les frites and had the fois gras appetizer. Everything was delicious and filling.

Open 24/7 doesn't mean you don't need to wait for tables. Au Pied de Cochon is probably one of the more popular bistros in Paris known for their 24/7 dining. Very pork forward but also has wonderful classic meat and seafood dishes. If you're looking for French comfort food, this is the place to go.

The food was disappointing --everything was overly salty, and they didn't even ask how we wanted the steak cooked, serving a very well-done duck dish without any input from us. The oysters were especially disappointing--far from fresh, extremely salty, and they didn't even bother separating them from the shells. In a city like Paris, with so many great dining options, this place really falls short.

Horrible! Service was so bad. Our waitress was not giving us a good service, they didn't have change for a 100€, and the bill was 88€. And honestly out of all the restaurants we've been to this was the only one we didn't not have a good experience. Plus worse of all it give me food poisoning. and I know it cause I was fine all week til this restaurant, would i recommend it to friend traveling to Paris Heck no!

After what felt like a longer than necessary wait, we had a huge and wonderful meal at this classic old Parisian bistro. Arrived hungry and told there was about a 10-15 minute wait. Definitely a bit longer, and seemed like maybe some locals showed up and got seated before us, but what can you do? There were empty seats outside that didn't seem to be filling (odd; it was a nice day out) and we suggested multiple times we'd be fine with that and eventually got seated there. From there we feasted. Seafood was the star here, with excellent oysters and a succulent lobster that we shared. The wine was excellent of course, and the waiter said we were a lovely couple and comped us a second (half) bottle when we hesitated on more wine, which felt very rare and special. I may have been hangry during our wait, but left sated and happy and walking off into the Parisian night near the Seine in a happy, loving wine buzz--kind of hard to beat that!

Came here on our last night in Paris. We had some really great meals the past few nights, so we wondered how this famous spot will compare. We made a reservation, which came in handy, since there was a longer line for people without. Got a nice table for two upstairs by the window. A very nice, cosy restaurant. Classic brasserie style. We were taken care of by two gentlemen. One took the orders (I think for the whole floor even) and the other one served all the food and cleaned the tables. The place was full, so it too a while to order. But we didn't mind, since the menu was an interesting read and it was hard to choose. Lots of great options. Some classic french and some house specialties. There was complementary Rillette served with demi-salted butter and very nice bread. Ordered some mineral water and a bottle of Chablis - which was very good. Fresh and crisp. Onion soup and Bone marrow with Escargots for starters. Both good items. A nice load of cheese topping up the soup, nice. Bone marrow and escargots are a great thing, but you need to be into that. For the mains we had the house specialty - the "Pied de Cochon" (pork leg/foot) with fries and the pan-fried veal liver with mashed potatoes. Both good items. The pied de cochon was nice and tender. But as the bone marrow, you need to into this kind of meat. It's more gelatine/jelly like inside with some fat. Some customers might mistake it with slow-cooked shank, but it's not shank. Be aware of that. The veal liver was really nice too. Cooked as ordered. Nicely fried, meaty and tender. Good stuff. We were pretty full after that and didn't have a dessert. Did cost 115 Euros for everything (with the tip). Which is very very reasonable for a city like Paris and quality like this. We really had an enjoyable night. But compared to two other meals that week it fell a bit short. It's a place open 7 days a week. 24h a day! And you can feel that a bit. It feels a bit more busy, a bit less personal, a bit more industrial. Less relaxed than some other places we've visited. But: Still a place we will come back to. Quality is there, value as well. And the menu still has some items we'd like to try.

It's an Anthony Bordain recommendation but with all due respect I was not impressed. The food ok but I not raving about it. The ambiance is busy of a typical IG / Yelp restaurant.

A must when you're in Paris! Wonderful, funny, and warm waiters, excellent food, and energetic vibe. Ate there on our last night in Paris and so glad we did. Excellent value.

It is true that this famous brasserie been open nonstop -- 24/7 -- since it opened in 1947. This lively place satisfies meat lovers who is daring to try the famous pig trotter dish. For others who are less adventurous, order the oysters and other shellfish: the whole crab are fresh and sweet (26 Euro for a Whole crab is a steal), the cockles (6 euros for a half dozen) and dishes like its famous onion soup and the pig feet cassoulet. We truly enjoy our traditional French bistro lunch: food came out fresh and flavorful, service is spot on and fully packed.

A famed name with a similarly named and excellent restaurant in Montreal but the Paris one has a rich history as well including multiple iterations and being beloved by former Paris diplomats. The current version has all the classic looks and decor of a Parisian bistro with authentic food but now is more a tourist trap. Despite being less than full on one side, reservations appear required for tourists and I was glad we had one to sit in a sparsely occupied section near outdoor seating. We sampled a variety of dishes and started off strong with excellent oysters but quickly went downhill with forgettable French onion soup and two mediocre entrees. The Temptation of Saint Antony "Patron of Charcuterie" ~ €27. breaded pigs tail, ear, snout and trotter served with Bernaise sauce and homemade French fries. A true disappointment. Cold, hard, and inedible in many parts with only giblets that were neither tender or gelatinous. It, like the French fries, seemed reheated and under a heat lamp. No Bernaise sauce to be found. Southwest Pig Sirloin from La Maison Montalet €24.50 ~ Lean pork loin was tender and the mashed potatoes. Decent sauce. Overall despite ok prices and great oysters, a disappointing meal and I'd recommend a hard pass due to the sad reheated French fries that no table ate. 3 stars due to the oysters. Au Pied Du Cochon accepts credit cards including AmEx and has indoor and outdoor dining.

Came here a day before and had a wonderful dinner. The onion soup was so amazing that we had to come back for breakfast as it advertised 24/7. However, when we arrived at 10am they said they open at 12 noon. Nonetheless we came back at 4pm, ordered and waited anxiously. They serve bread with their Porc Pate which is also amazing but they forgot the pate when they dropped the bread. We waited 10 mins thinking they'd bring it after but since they didn't I asked the waitress about it when she walked by. She was extremely annoyed when upon my request and when she brought the pate she SLAMMED it on the table and I'm not exaggerating. Now I truly understand French arrogance!

I have a soft spot for this place. Love their creme brûlée. Love the location. And that magical Pork spread they give you with the bread!

This restaurant gets by on name recognition only. I don't understand why people think the onion soup is even ok. I've had better at a greasy spoon in the US. Main course was 2 hours into the meal. Food was cold and tasted like diner food. Do not eat there.

The Temple of Pig!!! Pork Rillette Saucisson Pork Croquettes And a giant pork chop for two -- which could easily feed 3-4. All fabulous! Word to the wise; make a reservation. Au Pied de Cochon is popular and for good reason. We arrived promptly for our 7:30 reservation. When we left at 9:15 there were thirty people waiting for a table. Wonderful evening, lovely staff, beautiful room. Highly recommended.

This restaurant provides a classic French menu and ambiance with quality bilingual service. We were in the area without a reservation and whenever in Paris among the innumerable brasseries and cafes I've utilized several peer reviewed apps however I am happy to see Yelp becoming a trusted resource in Europe. Everyone that we were in contact with was extremely welcoming and kind here and the food definitely didn't disappoint. One of the lighter and most delicious Onion soups that I had on my trip was followed by beautifully seasoned and perfectly cooked escargot followed by a dozen oysters, 1/2 crab and mussels that scratched our seafood itch. The presentation and service were outstanding despite the grand size of this multiple story operation.

Hands down my favorite meal while in Paris on this trip. This place was recommended by one of my fiancee's French co-workers when we wanted to get dinner later than 10pm on a Thursday. They said it's open 24/7 and has a wide variety menu. This is all true. A quick taxi ride from Bezones and we were here. We didn't have a reso at nearly 11pm but were seated in about 5 minutes and our servers were pretty on point with bringing items to us like drinks, bread, apps, and the entrees and dessert. We didn't wait very long for anything. Menu was all in French so I had to translate it with my phone to make sure I didn't accidentally order something I didn't want but I tried several things and loved ALL of it. I chose the haricot verts green bean salad - served cold. It was absolutely delicious and topped with sliced mushrooms. I devoured it immediately. We also did the tomato and mozzarella salad and the French onion soup. Absolutely the best French onion soup of my life. Swimming in flavor and loaded with cheese. SOOoooo good! For our entree, we split the steak and frites and loved it - could've used more frites! For dessert - I had the profiteroles bc I had been fantasizing about them all week and here they did not disappoint. Three lovely puff pastries sliced in half with vanilla ice cream and literally loaded down with fresh, warm chocolate sauce. So decadent and delicious. The food and menu were excellent and the interior was great. It was still totally full when we left at nearly 1:30am on a Thursday night! When does Paris sleep? Ha, will make sure to come back again.

We were told that au pied de cochon, although known for seafood, has one of the best onion soups to grace Paris. Although the flavors were spot on, the soup was way too salty for our liking. The mussels were decent and can feed atleast 2-3 people. The steak was very average and honestly a little too firm. However, the service was amazing. Our waiter was sweet, patient, and informative.

Worth the wait. Make a reservation if you can but the line is worth it. Delicious authentic French food, great cocktails, and it is open 24/7.

Looking for a lunch spot and stumbled across this cute restaurant on the way back from the louve. We didn't have reservations but got a seat right away. Service was exceptional and the food was delicious. Pork centric dishes are definitely the way to go as that's their specialty.

Very standard food. Do not recommend people coming here for trying French food. The waiter is also a bit rude.

English menu 09.27.2021 is here: https://api.zenchef.com/api/v2/files/65319/download?_ga=2.17327164.404092383.1632774445-2099685660.1632774445 We got seated right away and were given a QR code for the English menu. The place is very nice and pretty with decorative lights everywhere. Its been raining and I wanted some Angelina hot chocolate but the line was too long and so I got some here and it's delicious. It was warm, not hot though but still tasty and hit the spot. *Os a moelle, fricasee d'escargot a la creme d'ail (pig's trotter, snails fricasee with garlic cream)... €13.50 Amazing! Snails and bone marrow are French delicacies known throughout the world and this place put them together to make this delicious appetizer. It comes with bread too for you to eat it with. We highly recommend it but be aware that this is so oily and fatty it will clog your arteries. But hey, when in France! *Soft boiled egg, girolle mushrooms, crispy pork belly (€12.50) - also a treat. it's super creamy with the soft boiled egg and the yummy cream sauce. The crispy pork belly is basically a piece of bacon. the mushrooms are tiny and blend well with the rest of the dish. What their restaurant was named after is the - - - *Grilled pig's trotter, bearnaise sauce with homemade French fries €22.50 - it's full of ligaments, fat, tendons, and a small portion of soft meat. If you know Filipino food, it's basically the French equivalent of Filipino crispy pata but the lower part of it with the pork ankle and knuckles. It's not for everyone but if you love that texture, this dish is for you. We left nothing but bones after we were done with it. Tip: when it gets too fatty for u, put some of the sauce on it or eat a small piece of bread to break the monotomy. The fries were ok but it was oily too. Tip: Don't let these dishes sit because the fat will congeal and it won't be as good. It won't be gooey and delicious, just hard and chewy. I'm giving this place the 5 star it deserves. There was nothing we ate that wasn't superb and the service was awesome.

I never send food back. Onion soup awful, water! Chicken dried out tastless. Pass... also they need to attend to their toilets
