Chez Fernand Christine

Chez Fernand Christine serves hearty, well-balanced French classics. The French onion soup hits the right mix of onion and cheese, the bone marrow is rich and deeply flavoured, and the escargot marinade is excellent. Their signature beef stew is intensely flavourful and perfect for soaking bread. Portions can be inconsistent—our server noticed only one chunk of meat in our serving and promptly topped it up so it felt complete. For two people, three starters plus one main was plenty. Reservations are advisable. The dining room is very small, with tables close enough to touch elbows, so it’s cosy rather than romantic—probably not ideal for a first date.

My favorite restaurant of our trip to Paris!!! We learned about Chez Fernand from the Les Frenchies videos. It was their number one pick for the best beef bourguignon. It was absolutely delicious!! We loved everything about this restaurant. The atmosphere was wonderful, our server was amazing, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend!!!

We loved Chez Fernandez Christine. It’s cozy & casual with a great wine list and they will help you with your wine selection if you are unfamiliar with French wines. My husband said the snails were the best he had on the trip and we both agreed it was the best French onion soup we had. Wanted to visit again after we saw their bone marrow offering, but schedule wouldn’t allow. *Get reservations!!

Like the others say, it’s a hidden gem in Paris. Have dinner with family, tried the snails, beef cheek, pork chop and sea bass. All are delicious especially the pork chop, very tender and juicy. Have apple tart and crème brûlée for desserts. Love them both. In short, really enjoy the food, the atmosphere is good ,staff are friendly and helpful. Sure will come back during next visit to Paris.

Chez Fernand Christine is a true hidden gem in Paris! Over our five-week stay, we dined here three times, and each visit was a delight.

From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a cherished regular, enveloped in a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The team’s impeccable service strikes the perfect balance—professional yet playful, making every meal fun and memorable. This cozy local spot offers a culinary experience that lingers long after you leave, leaving you eager to return for just one more bite. For fabulous French cuisine and a spoiled-yet-fun dining experience, Chez Fernand Christine is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back!

Our recent lunch at this charming traditional French restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in a posh area adjacent to a high-end hotel, the restaurant exudes an old-school charm with its rough stone walls and classic red and white tablecloths, yet manages to feel surprisingly bright and inviting. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality, particularly from our waiter, Julien. His attentiveness and friendliness were exceptional, making our dining experience all the more delightful. The menu was a celebration of French culinary tradition, and every dish we ordered surpassed our expectations: - **French Soup**: Rich and comforting, the perfect start to our meal. - **Bone Marrow**: Decadent and full of flavor, a true indulgence. - **Escargot**: Cooked to perfection with a delightful garlic butter sauce. - **Traditional French Beef Stew**: Hearty and deeply satisfying, with tender beef and a velvety sauce. - **Duck Leg**: Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a testament to the chef's skill and the restaurant's commitment to quality. The ambiance, service, and food combined to create an unforgettable dining experience that we will cherish and recommend to anyone seeking authentic French cuisine in a delightful setting. We can't wait to return and indulge in this culinary gem once again. Merci beaucoup!

Highly recommend!! Our very kind Airbnb host recommended Chez Fernand Christine and we are so happy we decided to dine here for our last night in France. Please come to enjoy a delicious meal if you are in the area!

This one of those places you don’t want to tell anyone about to ensure it stays the same, BUT surprsingly enough, this traditional brasserie in the heart of St. Germain managed to keep its local clientèle happy while adapting to tourist that just order a starter with coke light. Sébastien thoroughly impressed me, not flinching once when asked to make the French Onion soup gluten-free or bring ketchup for a side order of fries. Wow! A très bientôt, because they also seated me away from most of the touristes ignorantes…
