Bidoche Oberkampf

Simply delicious. As you can guess from the name, the menu revolves completely around meat. The restaurant is seating at the back of a shop. Products are fresh and well prepared. Menu is kept simple, with three side dishes you can have on free flow. Meat was cooked to perfection and the plates flavorful. Staff is nice and friendly. Seatings available inside. Booking recommended.

A true French dining experience - steak in the back of a refund butcher shop. When we arrived locals were lined up to buy meat. The food was very good and comes with an excellent salad, frites and mashed potatoes. A good selection of wines makes for a perfect experience. . Highly recommend.

Unique Setting but Mixed Dining Experience We came here on the recommendation of a local Parisian, and the setup is certainly unique with a traditional butchery at the front of the shop, and a cozy restaurant tucked away in the back. Reservations are required (easy to make on their website), and do note there are different (at least two) branches in Paris, so make sure you book the right one. The restaurant itself is quite small, with seating a little crowded, but not unusual for Europe. Unfortunately, the night we visited was very hot, and although there was an air conditioner, it struggled to cool the space. Sitting through the meal sweating and uncomfortably warm didn’t help the experience. We started with the bone marrow, which was excellent. For mains, we shared the trio of tartare and a steak. The tartare was good, but not quite as exceptional as I had expected from such a reputable butchery. The steak, cooked medium-rare, was disappointingly tough and lacking the tenderness you would expect from a specialist meat restaurant (especially since we asked for tender above flavour). Overall, it was an interesting experience, and I appreciated the unusual concept of dining behind a butcher’s counter. That said, given the quality of the dishes, we’re unlikely to return, as I think you can find better value and quality elsewhere in Paris.

A great experience-a butcher who serves their meat in a tiny seating area in the back. Great beef, aged (chicken, pork available too). You literally choose your cut. Served with salad, fries, wine -including by the glass. Our "rare" beef was cooked perfectly. Charcuterie was not salty or dry. That's pretty much it-you are here for meat. Many restaurants in Paris are tiny, but this place in particular. The single waiter was literally running at times. But, otherwise, a great experience and highly recommended.

Not too far away from the Oberkampf metro stop up a side street I think I've found a true hidden gem. When you enter you are in the butcher shop portion of the building ( restaurant is in behind ). Tight squeeze around the counter and you are in the resto Surprisingly spacious inside. Lovely service simple concept. Choose your meat ( pork chicken lamb and beef in various cuts ) accompanied with the best frites i had in Paris and sautéed veggies Had the ribeye amazing. Lots of options for apps. Best lunch ever. Shout out to our server.

First, steak and frites were first class. As good as vlogs said but despite charming entrance behind a Boucher there were probs. Almost everything was off on menu. How can that be with a butcher shop in front? 2nd cutting steak size by 16 pc on one available steak is not a good idea. Cutting bill by 9 pc even less of a winner. Service fine although bread had to be requested. Good recommendation on wine upscale.

Step inside and venture a little further, passing through their butcher shop to discover a hidden gem—their restaurant. The tartare and rump steak here are truly exceptional; they’ll knock your socks off and leave you speechless. This is, without a doubt, one of the best carnivorous experiences I’ve ever had. Thank you Christoph for your great service! I'll come back!

This is my favorite place to eat in Paris. No kidding. I am a big meat lover and this is the best quality meat I have ever had. I been to countless places which are known for their meat (Argentina, Japan, etc.) and I live in America where we have access to some of the best meat from across the world. However, I have yet to have a better fillet than at Bidoche. The dry aged fillet is incredibly tender and flavorful and honestly quite reasonably priced. The service at Bidoche is very good. We came here two years ago and the server was the same person. He is very knowledgeable about meat and wine and makes fantastic recommendations. He is affable and funny. Needless to say the meat is cooked to perfection every time with a wonderful sear. I had my fillet blue last night and my father had it saignant and both were awesome but I would go for blue. The meat is so high quality that you should experience it in its pure form. They serve excellent sides and sauces included. The mashed potatoes and salad very are perfect. The fries are cooked in beef tallow, super flavorful. The appetizers are also of note. The mayonnaise (deviled) eggs are fantastic. The tar tar of beef is very flavorful. The bone marrow was a bit too fatty for my preference but delicious nonetheless. This is a good honest restaurant with simple but delicious dishes made from meat of the highest quality I have ever seen. The prices are quite reasonable and the service is very good. The presentation of the dishes is very nice too. Overall, Bidoche is a fantastic restaurant that I will eat at every time I’m in Paris.

Poor service, server paid no attention. Forgot about our main dishes even after asking repeatedly.

This place would make a killing in Shoreditch. First off, the butcher side of things is like an art gallery for meat. I've never seen meat displayed like that, and now I can't help but think this is the style that should be replicated everywhere because it's genius. Now for the restaurant side - the waitress didn't speak much English, but understood some. The chap doing the butchery spoke better English than I did, and subbed in for the waitress to explain the menu and take our order. So yeah, we ended up with a crazy volume of food. We shared the beetroot salad to start, and then went for the butcher's choice of beef for the main with the accompaniments. We each had a piece of spider steak (one of the best steaks I've had period), a bavette steak and I think an onglet. All really good, but man, that spider steak. Amazing. You get three sauces and three sides to share, and if you finish them they'll refill them. You can also go out to the shop and pick out your own meat, paying €12 on top of the normal price for use of the restaurant and the sauces/sides. We will be back as this isn't far from the hotel we like in Paris and now I'm going to be talking about that steak till we get back there in a couple of years time!

I had my birthday dinner at Bidoche. In addition to the fun factor of picking the steak, we had a super intimate dining experience, a delicious bottle of wine, and an amazing pie made with fraises des bois. Part of the problem with most restaurants, and a problem in any great city (including Paris and San Francisco), is that often, the more you spend, the worse you eat. This year in Paris, and last, that held mostly true. This was not fancy, and it was so much better than most places we ate.

Amazing concept and experience! 3 of us american business men still talk about our experience there months after we dined at La Bidoche. I personally enjoyed the veal kidneys, cooked to perfection. My colleagues enjoyed aged prime bone-in beef, so tender that they could have eaten with a spoon..! Young and talented owners, great job guys!

We are from San Francisco, California and made reservations at this lovely restaurant after reading about it online. One of the best meals we had on our trip! Amazing food, great service, and ambiance. We come to Paris once a year and will definitely come back. Thank you, Chef, for the warm greeting and for the high quality food.

Excellent steak,wine and service.I will recommend this place to any meat lover. Very cozy place with a real French feeling
