Bouillon République

Buillo Republican is a fantastic spot for a satisfying, memorable meal. The beef was outstanding, perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and clearly high quality. The oysters were incredibly fresh, clean, and briny, tasting straight from the sea. Every dish felt simple yet done with real care. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy good food. A special mention goes to the blonde server, she was amazing, attentive, friendly, and genuinely warm, making the whole experience even better. Great food, great service, and a place I would happily return to again soon always.

Must book well in advance but well worth it. You won’t find this kind of quality of food or service for this price point anywhere else in Paris. We had the escargot, bouillon soup, duck parfait and steak frites. I’d skip the boullion next time but everything else was exquisite, especially the duck!

I honestly do not understand the hype. The atmosphere was nice, the place was packed, and the prices were certainly reasonable, but the experience was a complete letdown. ​After standing in the rain for 45 minutes, the food was shocking. We started with the escargots and bone marrow, both of which were average at best and completely lacked flavour. The steak was decent, but this is clearly not a place to go for meat. However, the worst part was the frites. It was frankly embarrassing that they served them to a customer—I received the last crumbs of the bag. They were tiny, discoloured, stale, and absolutely disgusting. ​To make matters worse, the service was also not great. The waiter got our order wrong and never brought the drinks we ordered, so we were stuck with just table water. Perhaps I just had a poor experience given how busy it was, but overall I was very disappointed. Do not waste your time queuing here; it is absolutely not worth it.

Overall, had a solid experience here! The value is definitely there, but you need to be intentional with your order. The bone marrow is a total must order, and both the coquilettes and mille feuille were delicious. However, I’d suggest skipping the leek starter and the steak frites (you can find a better cut of meat elsewhere for the price). It’s worth the money as long as you choose the right dishes!

Honestly, this was my least favorite meal I’ve had in Paris so far. I was really excited to try this place because of the great Google and TikTok reviews, but it ended up being pretty disappointing. When we sat down, we were given bread for the table that was extremely stale and not very good. For appetizers, we ordered the eggs mayonnaise, bone marrow, and chicken broth. They were okay, nothing special. For entrées we ordered two steak frites, the raviolis, and the beef bourguignon. The raviolis were actually pretty good, but the other two dishes were not great. The steak frites in particular were really disappointing. The steak was extremely thin, chewy, and not tender at all. The sauce also had very minimal flavor and could have used more salt. We also ordered a side of cauliflower, which was surprisingly good and probably one of the better things we had. The service was just okay. Our waiter mostly only came by to take our order and bring out the food, and we didn’t see much of him otherwise. I included a picture of the steak I received because it really didn’t look or taste great. Also, pictured is the egg mayonnaise. Overall, I was pretty disappointed. I guess you get what you pay for with the cheaper prices, but unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this place.

We had an overall very good experience at this restaurant, which was fully in line with the price paid. I would particularly recommend the duck and the starters — both were excellent. The service was also good, and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, the steak was clearly below average and not something I would order again. Overall, the experience was worthwhile. I strongly recommend making a reservation in advance, as the queue can be extremely long.

We managed to try a number of dishes and it really is worth it for what it costs. It does get busy and loud but it is all part of the experience. We went during the week at a late afternoon/early dinner time ( around 4/5pm) and didn’t have to wait at all. Anything truffle you definitely have to try.

This Restaurant is such a great experience in Paris. the place is very cozy and nice. we ordered various stuff from the menu. the starters were absolutely incredible. the desserts also. but the main dishes were somehow underwhelming and didn’t taste that good which weird. the wine and ceder were also very good i would still recommend this place but just focus more on the startes maybe ?
