Bistrot du Sommelier Paris Philippe Faure-Brac

Had a wonderful dinning experience here. Greeted by the boss, M. Faure-Brac himself. Ben and Maria were both very helpful too. We tried the millesime menu with wine pairing. Superb wine pairing with delicious food. Enjoyed the whole dining experience. Highly recommended!

Lovely restaurant with a fun and immersive concept. Our waiter did a great job with presenting the “Discovery Menu” and leaving us to enjoy the wine and the pairing before revealing the wine. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who has a more adventurous side and willing to be open to taking delicious wines and incredible food. They also have an a la carte menu for those less adventurous 😉

This was the BEST dinner we had in Paris. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere and the service was outstanding. Philippe the chef/sommelier/owner was there over looking all the details. The people dining there appeared to be locals, another testament to the quality of the place. We selected the set menu with wine pairings. He asked us what our like and dislikes were in order for select the dinner. Every selection he made for us was like he read our minds. The wine pairings were exceptional, he even gave us a second pour of one of our favorites. As good as dinner was, the highlight of the evening was when he gave us a personal tour of his wine cellar located under the restaurant. Wow, after many years of collecting, he had quite a cellar. Many coming with stories he shared with us. Thank you Philippe for a memorable evening in Paris

Le Bistrot Du Sommelier offers an exceptional dining experience, blending exquisite French wines with top-notch service. The atmosphere is intimate, with cozy seating that invites guests to relax and enjoy their meal. The staff, led by a highly knowledgeable sommelier, expertly curated wine pairings for each course. Their recommendations, including a Muscadet and a Bourgogne, were spot on, elevating the flavors of each dish. The highlight of the meal began with an octopus appetizer—so fresh and perfectly cooked that it didn’t make it into the photos! The main courses, as seen in the photos, showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with precision. One standout dish featured beautifully tender cuts of meat served over a rich sauce and accompanied by earthy mushrooms and vegetables. Each bite reflected the chef’s commitment to market-fresh ingredients. To cap off the evening, the chocolate pastry dessert was indulgent, balancing richness with a delicate finish. The meal ended with an incredibly thoughtful touch—the staff, noticing the rain, insisted on escorting us to our cab with umbrellas, ensuring we left dry and smiling. Recommended by the renowned Les Frenchies travel guides, Le Bistrot Du Sommelier lives up to its reputation as one of the best dining spots in the 8th Arrondissement near Champs-Élysée. It’s a perfect choice for anyone seeking not just a meal but an unforgettable Parisian dining experience.

We dined out six nights while in Paris and this is by far the best restaurant we ate at. Dishes were prepared with passion and thoughtfully served. Each plate has its own story and the ingredients are coming from local farms. One can taste the difference. Love the place that serve Michelin star food and are not pretentious. Octopus for appetizer and Rose fish were amazing. This is a must stop for us in the future. Thank you. 🙏

Delicious food, excellent wines, very professional staff. They happily accommodate food allergies and preferences. Most servers speak good English and take the time to explain each dish and wine. The owner, who won the Sommelier du monde, comes by each table to greet the guests.

Great dinner at this restaurant. We did the mid-range discovery menu with the courses and wines selected for you. Each course was great, and we loved the wines. Some were a pleasant surprise! The sommelier is an absolutely wonderful host. He knows his wines, loves his work, and is very approachable. He gave us a tour of his cellar, and it was such a memorable experience. Highly recommend! The sommelier and the manager both speak English, so don't worry if you are American or do not speak French. You'll have a great time!

Nice and cozy restaurant. Exquisite food, warm, friendly and homely service, great wine selection. Food is great - local, great ingredients, nice presentation. Great homely feel.
