Au Pied de Fouet

This is the quintessential French restaurant where the local residents frequent! Very small and cozy.. The food is tremendous and the service is spectacular! Vincent was gracious and so very kind!

Cozy little restaurant with an authentic atmosphere. There are only a few tables, therefore we had to share ours with two other guests. The food is perfectly made and even though the restaurant is pretty close to the most important touristic attractions, the prices are also reasonable. The waiters were extremely welcoming and nice.

My friend was living next door to this restaurant for a semester and I would walk by almost every week and without fail it was always bustling with people. It's decorations are so lovely, you can tell they're handpicked and have much more personality (as a minimalism hater). It's a wonderful local spot with many regulars. The owners are super nice, giving us glasses of liqueur at the end of our meal. The food itself it's superb in quality, the veal just melted directly in your mouth, and the sauce was so deliciously creamy along with the rice. The creme caramel was a lovely ending to our meal.

Absolutely amazing hole in the wall place. It's small, the tables are close to each other and if you go upstairs you'll likely need to bend to avoid hitting your head on the ceiling beams. But the food? Absolutely delicious. Perfect amount of salt, you taste every ingredient, and the staff is super kind and will give you recommendations. The desserts were also delicious. Looks like this is a regular place for locals and you can tell why. 15/10, best french cuisine I've had in Paris so far.

We were walking the streets of Paris, looking for a place to eat, when we came across this very quaint restaurant with a lady smiling at us through the window. We decided to come in and little did we know that we would end up having one of the best meals of our life. The food was absolutely amazing, honestly some of the best food we’ve ever had. Everything tasted of love and tradition. The staff was so kind they made us feel like we were at home! I wish I could eat there every day.

The restaurant was tiny, cozy, and unassuming. The waiters were incredibly nice and accommodating, explaining how their menu and service worked. The starters were fresh and perfect appetizers. The highlight of the meal was the duck; it was cooked to perfection, so tender that it practically melted in my mouth with every bite. Paired with creamy mashed potatoes, it was an exceptional dish. The desserts rounded off the meal beautifully. The cozy setting and friendly staff made the experience truly memorable. (And, just a heads-up: the way to their toilet is "scary" – but in a fun, quirky way!)

Wonderful little place recommended by our Pere-Lachaise guide Maria. We were there when they opened at 7, which was good, because they quickly filled up. Food was delicious, service was personal and helpful, and the atmosphere convivial. Highly recommended!

Small cozy and very local it’s proper French restaurant and it’s lovely
