Bistro des lettres

An absolutely wonderful French bistro experience from start to finish. Every single dish was pure pleasure. We had the frog legs, bone marrow, an incredible duck confit, and finished with the most indulgent French toast with salted caramel, all of it was outstanding. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and deeply satisfying. Classic French cooking done at a very high level👌👌 The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and full of life, exactly what you hope for in a true Parisian bistro. It feels authentic, relaxed, and full of charm, the kind of place where time just disappears as you enjoy good food and great company. We walked in, but the place was fully booked, which says it all. Luckily we managed to get a table, but I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. This is proper French comfort food at its best. Highly recommended, and absolutely a place we’d return to without hesitation.

Staff were very welcoming, friendly and professional. The food was really tasty. I only knocked off one star because of the potatoes served with the duck confit. I feel a place aiming for a higher level could prepare them in a nicer way. They were sliced thin and fried, and honestly reminded me of when I was little trying to make homemade crisps with my friends lol.

we came here around 3pm on a friday and we were able to get a table immediately. the baked camembert definitely has an acquired taste but it was melty, sweet (they drizzled honey) and slightly salty, perfect with bread that you can request for (free of charge). the duck confit was a family favourite! fell off the bone immediately. would definitely recommend this place if you are around. we were also able to write a letter to our future selves one year from now! they mail it to you (where ever it is) so that you can read it exactly a year after. love this place and will be back.

We had the baked camembert, lamb shank, duck confit, and sausage and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious. Staff were friendly and accommodating. We made a reservation before coming. Highly recommend booking a table in advance as it seems the place was fully booked. We would happily eat here again. We would also recommend this place to others

We came for early dinner on a weekday last month without making a reservation. The staff was very helpful to accommodate us. It’s our first time in Paris; the staff made us feel welcoming, explained patiently and politely about our queries on the menu. The restaurant is not too big but cozy. Their service is above and beyond and the food was delicious. Must try their lamb shank, beef Rossini and bone merrow. We had some issue about the foie gras starter, the staff helped us to re-arrange it to better suit our needs, whom we should ask for his name to appreciate him. He taking good care and chat with us during our dinner too. During the dinner many customers coming in, some with and without reservation. The staff also tried their best to accommodate. Reservation in advance is recommended.

We came here on a weekend afternoon, and the restaurant was packed. We like the onion soup, steak, duck confit and lamb shank. The sausage, bone marrow, foie gras, snails and desserts are okay. Overall, it’s a nice restaurant to experience traditional French cuisine in a great location.

We came here for dinner with another couple and had such a wonderful meal we had to return 3 days later for lunch and again had a superb meal. The wait staff all females were impeccable and surpassed our expectations. We are American and we sometimes find French waiters a bit dismissive of the typical American tourist. The service was very attentive while being very French in allowing us to never be rushed. The food was so good we left more than content. Great soft music and overall vibe. Upscale and laid back all at the same time. We met the manager Melodie who came by multiple times to make sure we were having a good time and had everything we needed. The menu is small but met all our needs. The deserts were also superb. We will again return next time we visit Paris (try actually have 4 locations with slightly different names and menus).

An absolutely incredible experience, from start to finish. My friend and I made a point of visiting this bistro when we were in Paris, and thought that we would be getting okay food and an okay experience as so many themed dining experiences often are... But wow were we ever wrong! The service was top notch, the food was incredible, the wine was delicious, and the ambiance was so pleasant. My letter to myself is one that I think will be so pleasant to receive in a year's time.
