Chez Monsieur

Stopped by without reservations during the first service. The onion soup was delicious and I could have eaten 5 bowls! The service was prompt and professional. A classic spot that shouldn't be missed.

This was our second visit back to Chez Monsieur. And it was just as awesome as we remembered it. Get everything they recommend. It was amazing. I dream of the Veal Stew. Spectacular! So tender and creamy and unexpected. The cheese raviolis with green peas as garnish was also exquisite. The green peas popped in our mouths. Our favorite restaurant by far in Paris!

The service was superb by the waiter and the waitress. The little taster provided was really nice and presented perfectly. I had the snails and the blanquet de veau. The snails as you can see by my photo were huge. Like you'd see on old fossils on nature programmes. The garlic sauce was fantastic. For main the veal stew was sublime. Lots of it with the copper pot it served in. The veal was tender, the potatoes lovely and soft. The bacon added saltiness to it to make the cream sauce taste amazing. So a great dish. This was recommended by Fred Siriex on twitter a few days prior and he was correct. Superb. For dessert had tje crepes suzette. Maybe it was a personal opinion but i disliked this. The sauce was horrific but may be due to my own taste. The crepes were tough in parts to cut so even if had a different sauce I'd still give it a bad review. The salad starter my partner had looked awful and she said it wasn't great, and her main dish the gnocchi she said was only ok. I think she chose poor so my review is based upon my own dishes. The chablis wine was very nice. Overall decent in parts so 3.5 out of 5

We wanted to eat some traditional french dishes, and Chez Monsieur was not far from where we stayed, so we went there for a lunch and it turned out to be the best choice we could have made! We ordered escargot, foie gras, blanquette de veau and bœuf bourgignon. Everything was beyond excellent! Our waitress was very kind and attentive. All in all it was one of the highlight of our trip. I will return for sure!

Was charmed by Chez Monsieur. It’s a traditional French restaurant close to the hotel where we stayed (Burgundy, also recommend). We ordered fish and steak with (delicious) mashed potato. Crème Brûlée for pudding. Excellent, well priced red wine. The service was prompt and friendly, and I can’t believe they ever serve a bad meal. Merci!

For the classic French food lover, this will hit the spot: boeuf bourguignon, escargot, foie gras - you name it. Additional good sign for authenticity is the lack of English language skills and the very extensive wine list. Yet, if you look around, you will find obviously find better tasting food and spots with a nicer outdoor area, the service could be a bit more attentive. I would not necessarily go again, but that’s due to the high competition and so many other places where - if this is the first time you go to this city - you will experience more of that French charming character you might have been dreaming about.

We’ve gone to Chez Monsieur 2 times now when we are in Paris and we were both times impressed with the excellent service, the creativity of the menu and the execution of these dishes by the amazing kitchen. Sumptuous dishes, beautiful wine list and delicious cocktails. Will definitely be back at our next visit to Paris. Thank you Alexandre and the whole team of Chez Monsieur!

Revisiting after 2 years. They still maintain the same high quality ingredients and dedication to food preparation. This time tried their beef filet and sole meunière again. They each comes with a side dish, French fries and zucchini with roasted cherry tomatoes. The beef filet is perfectly executed. Tender and juicy. The French fries, OMG, it is hands down the best French fries I have ever had. It is homemade, crispy and with a strong aroma of the potato itself, unlike the batch made fries that comes from a factory. I never liked zucchini, but the way they make it comes with a bit of a crunchy texture and the cherry tomato is super juicy and flavorful. I actually enjoyed it a lot! The sole meunière is good, but not as amazing as I remembered, probably because it is under seasoned. But that is not a deal breaker, it is better than overly salted! And the fish is fresh and tender as before. So I am very happy with the dish. And they offered fresh made madelene after the meal. I love the madelene and since it is freshly made, it still has that slight crunchy texture at the edge. I love it! And strongly recommend the escargots. It is as “gros” as they described and so well seasoned! I hope that in today’s market, there will always be room for restaurants like this who is dedicated to make things from the scratch in house. Otherwise we’d only be left with restaurants that process half-made food. ————————————————— Really, I think the chefs at the restaurants are masters of cooking techniques, from the entries to desserts. I had the sole meunière, and the it is perfect from every detail, the color is beautiful. The browned butter is perfectly nutty, not undercooked, not overbrowned, just perfect. and they use just the right amount of butter so the sole is juicy and tender but not greasy. The floating island dessert is impressive. They thoughtfully used cold dish to serve it. This single dish is the ultimate test of the chefs skills on temperature. The chefs are no doubt the master of sugar 👍 Most importantly, their service cannot be any better. I feel taken care of. Strongly recommend!!

I absolutely love this place! It's casual but nice, great for lunch or a chill date night. Service is attentive and helpful. Food is delicious. My wife and I split the onion soup (one of the best I've had anywhere), beef filet, and catch of the day for dinner -- all were great. But perhaps the best part of this restaurant is the amazing wine list. Super thoughtful selections (primarily from Burgundy but with a few gems from other regions) and very reasonably priced for on-site consumption. I liked Chez Monsieur so much that I've already booked it again for another visit to Paris!

Chez Monsieur was such a great meal and one of our last in Paris. Sole Meunière was on our must have list and Chez Monsieur not only specializes in it but was only a 15-minute walk from our hotel. The service you receive is top notch from the moment you step inside until you exit. They greet you, take your coat, seat you, and make you feel like only you matter. We ordered the deviled eggs which was one of the best bites during our trip. They were perfectly seasoned, creamy, tangy, and salty. They were topped with crispy bits of fried bacon and shallots. I ordered the Sole which was buttery, lemony, rich, and beautifully presented. It was served with a side of sautéed spinach. The hubby ordered the cheese raviolis which were pillowy pockets of pasta and not too heavy, even though it would appear so. A basket of bread was served as usual with the meal. For dessert, we each had an espresso and shared the profiteroles. They were baked to perfectly and topped with a warm chocolate sauce, with extra on the side. The service was tremendous, the restaurant was clean, open, tables were spacious, and everything was in its place. I'd recommend making a reservation and trying it.

Came into Chez Monsieur on a Saturday night. Now we didn't make a reservation because there was a large fee. You would have to pay if you didn't show. But since we did arrive at exact opening, we were able to get a table so if you know you're gonna make it there, I would make the reservation because they got packed very fast. Our waiter was extremely helpful and went over the menu with us as well as the specials they had and even brought us a complementary appetizer . We of course had to get some more appetizers. we went with the Escargot because when in France as well as their Deviled Eggs, which I didn't know was such a big thing in France either. The Escargot was the best I've ever had by far and the deviled eggs were really good as well also top-tier. For my entrée, I had to get their Traditional Veal Stew, which is one of their specialties. The stew comes with obviously veal, as well as carrots, pearl onions, mushrooms, potatoes, bacon, in a creamy sauce. This stew was great most of the veal was melt in your mouth, though some pieces were a little tough. The veggies and bacon were also great and that cream sauce/broth whatever you want to call it is to die for. You have to make sure to keep some of their bread they give you if you're getting the stew so you can dip it in the sauce. Also, this is one of the largest dishes I've ever had for sure could serve two people and that's coming from American standards. For dessert, we had the Vanilla Crème Brûlée and the Crêpes. The Crème Brûlée was amazing and a must. A French staple for sure. I was a huge fan of the Crêpes but I have never been a fan of sweet Crêpes. They also gave us complementary French Madeleines as if we were not full enough. Chez Monsieur is for sure a great place to go for a fancy dinner in Paris. The staff and service were great, amazing location, and beautiful inside.

Had the baby calf stew and pan fried sole fish. Was very filling and could split either dish between 2 ppl. Food was prepared well, flavor wasn't anything too special but the service was great. I should've ordered a different appetizer from the deviled eggs cause They gave 2 pieces of crostini with the egg filling to every table

Wonderful dinner on our last night in Paris. The service was outstanding and the food was divine! Try the crepe Suzette as it's made in the dining room.

From the start: our host(ess) was absolutely gracious and knowledgeable, food superb: sole, veal, as well as starters. Wait staff friendly AND professional. Had we started our trip here, would definitely have returned.

What great food! Dover sole was buttery and amazing. They debone and m plate table side. Had a few dishes here and all were great. In my opinion it's an award winning restaurant that serves your typical French menu with a little more care and better service. Best part is after paying you leave with a fresh madeleine.

Expected more based on hotel recommendation and decor. Salad arrived missing an important ingredient (we sent it back and they replaced it) the sole meunière was cold and the broccoli was damp and overcooked.). The table next to us was missing escargots.

We didn't have reservations and they were fully booked for lunch. Bit they were kind and gracious enough to make us 2 seats at the bar which we both appreciated. My wife was wanting some fish and I was on carb overload. So the menu at this place was something that worked out well. We ordered the Filet Mignon which came with fries and the Dover Sole that came with sautéed spinach. I ended up trading my fries with my wife so that I could have the spinach. She preferred the fries and I just wanted at least one meal without carbs or sugar for a change. Both were good, although my steak was slightly overcooked. I also think that the quality of the beef in France isn't quite as tender as the beef in America. With that said though I think that the French make up for this by accompanying the beef with amazing sauce. The restaurant is a small bistro with no outside sseating but is quite popular with lots of locals eating there. I would say that this place is a good choice for traditional French cooking if you want to take a break from the tniy artistic dishes on large plates.

When I come to Paris, I enjoy the architecture, the art, the people but to be honest my soul reason for coming is the food and wine. Today I stopped by and made a reservation in person. The staff here was very helpful in accommodating my wishes as only French restaurants can. The whole day the expectation of what was to come at dinner was on my mind as I stolled through the city. I was not going to be disappointed. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and seated. A bottle of sparkling water, bread, and slices cured sausage was promptly delivered. The two types of bread were exceptional, the baguette is not house but the house bread had a delightfully crispy crust and was warm, soft, and tasty. The sausage was mild, moist, and hearty. Inwoukdnt be surprised if the were casing and aging it in house but I did not confirm this. I ordered a grey goose, tonic, with lime while I looked over the food and wine menu. They delivered a generous pour of Vodka and lime with a bottle of Tonic. Our server made the pour and it was perfect. In Paris you take your time and after we enjoyed our cocktails we made our order. We ordered foir gras, escargot, steak tartare, guineafowl, lemon meringue tart, and crepe suzette for dessert. The duck foie gras and escargot cane out together and delivered in a reasonable amount of time. The foie gras had subtle seasoning, dense yet creamy and mature. Pared with a toasted long rectangle of bread and a touch of garnish, this was a triumph. The escargot was expertly prepared and came in the shell which I prefer. Tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned, this is the taste of Paris. After we enjoyed our starters our entrees were delivered in a reasonable amount of time and two glasses of their house Bordeaux special reserve accompanied our plates. The wine was excellent, well built with a hint of blackberry and pleasantly fragrant. The steak tartare was accompanied with heart fries which were tender yet perfectly crisp. The steak tartare itself had a mature French mustard tone, seasoning was subtle, and topped with crisp sliver of anchovies, solidly the second best steak tartare I have had in all my travels. The guineafowl with Mushroom and carrots was expertly cooked with a crisp finish to the meat. The garnish of puree carrots and ginger made this dish a game changer. This dish is not to be missed. After a bit of a rest our lemon meringue tart and crepe suzette arrived. The lemon meringue tart came with a thyme glace. To be honest I am not usually a fan of meringue but this one was crisp and the taste was delicate and I enjoyed it very much. The glace stole the show though with its creamy texture and hint of thyme. Expertly balanced and wonderful. The crepe suzette here is traditional and it's very welcome. The delicated crepe in caramelized grand marnier packs the end of night punch you need while the mandarin orange shines through. This is the best crepe suzette I have had in all my travels without question. Chez Monsieur is not to be missed while visiting Paris. Make sure to reserve a table inside our outside as you wish. The staff will do the rest to assure you have a splendid experience.

Very good restaurant. Reservation is a must! We ordered: Foie Gras Escargot French onion soup Filet Mignon Desert: Crepes Profiteroles Everything was great. Service was amazing as well. Highly recommend!

Very good food and great location but our server was very abrupt and spoke limited English. If you don't speak French, not sure I would recommend.

A must French restaurant to go to! Make sure u have a reservation- superb service and French cuisine. Can't wait to go back!

Lovely quaint French restaurant with very kind staff! Our hotel made us reservations and what a great meal to start off our trip in Paris! Reviews are true, the veal stew...amazing and enough for 2! Don't forget escargot!

Escargot is very good here, they're extra on the sauce and didn't have a fishy taste. Waiter and I had some sort of difficulty when it came to ordering wine, but was very glad he was able to suggest one for me! It was very good. I didn't enjoy the steak too much as it was quite bland and sauce that came with did not do much lifting at all. Would come back for escargot.

We dined at CHEZ MONSIEUR as a family of four. We ordered the Burrata and tomato salad to begin. My boys and I each ordered the Dover Sole Fish with spinach. I inquired with our sever to ensure 3 orders would be suitable for us. He misled us in saying 3 would be perfect as we ended up having a full order left. Two orders would have been sufficient for two children and one adult. My husband had the Veal Stew, their signature dish. Both dishes were delcious. The portions were quite generous. We were so stuffed we had no room for dessert.

Had to grab a quick meal before an evening work call and lucked out thanks to Yelp. A charming warm bistro interior. Radishes, slices of sausage charcuterie and fresh warm sourdough and grain breads served immediately. I explained I was in a hurry and the food arrived within minutes: a sea bass with crispy skin on braised fennel with a subtle sauce. Complimentary warm Madeline with fig sauce provided for dessert. Amazingly I was in and out in less than a half hour, regrettably not able to linger. Great find!

This was our final meal in Paris and WOW was it a disappointment. Everything from the maitre d and service to the food and complete lack of awareness was shockingly bad. To start the maitre d was rude and questioned if we actually had a reservation and had a condescending tone the entire time. We are Americans, not sure if that came into play. Next the service was severely lacking, there was no check to see how we were doing, no offer of a second drink and also proceeded to serve my fiancé raw chicken, you'd think you would notice that when serving. We asked for the chicken to be cooked more thoroughly and we're shown zero compassion not even a "sorry about that" let alone comping the dish. We left the restaurant without finishing our meals. Every other dining experience we've had in Paris was amazing. I would give this zero stars if I could.

The food was incredibly tasty especially the snails one of the best I ever had ! The service was spectacular! Super friendly servers . I love the ambience and definitely will visit and dine again when I go back to Paris . I shared the video of my dinner on my You Tube channel , IG and FB @ Zonnaloves / zonna dilag . A very deserving 5 star ! Link to YouTube vid : https://youtu.be/T2BtT2mTSes

This place was incredible! It was the perfect place to visit for our last night in Paris. The food was superb. We had the escargot & dover sole with the best chocolate mousse for dessert. Wonderful service too!

This day I dined alone for lunch, which is rather fun once in a while. Today it was fun! And by my photos of lunch, I am sure you can tell why. I ate and drank like a king, life was good. My hotel made a last minute reservation for me, and when I walked in they sat me immediately. I ordered a drink that my server recommended, since they don't have Aperol. Hit the spot, so I had two! I asked how the escargot were, she said excellent. Done ordered. I love Dover Sole, so it was a no brainer on that order. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! SO delicious! I asked for a dessert that had a lot of chocolate, the server steered me toward the profiteroles. I follow her advice, and boom! Another win, as the profiteroles are covered in chocolate for days! It was their only real chocolate dessert to choose from, which made me sad, but I still loved them. I topped my meal off with a double espresso, and headed back to the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendom for a NAP! One of my favorite lunches of my 4 week trip I confess!

Went here on our first night in Paris. It was wonderful. Service was great and the food was delicious. We ordered the jambon (thinly shaved ham), French onion soups. Sole and 2 filets. While my son thought all the filets in Paris lacked seasoning. It was cooked perfectly and he could just add a little salt. Overall, highly recommend.

This place is the best restaurant I've been to in Paris. The food was amazing and the service was pretty good as well. One thing to note is that this place will be closed on holidays even though Google Maps might say it's open! This restaurant isn't cheap but for the price, I got a high quality meal. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area!

Not the same chez monsieur we dined in 2 years ago. They prepped the escargot differently now. The fish wasn't that tasty anymore and the service was somewhat lacking.

We've been to this restaurant 3 times. We really liked it. The food was excellent and the service was great. The wait staff were friendly and funny. Can't wait to go back!

Our hotel recommended this place for a last minute dinner rsvp & i was not disappointed! I enjoyed everything i ordered. I had for dinner the veal stew, oh my goodness it was delicious along with escargot and French pate paired with wine. Yum! Met some lovely ppl along the way. Wish i could video would upload so you can see for urself however it's not loading here...

French onion soup and veal stew. Hands down the best meal I'be had so far in Paris. Please do yourselves a favor and order these! You will not regret it!

A terrific experience! I definitely recommend Chez Monsieur. Its a fun little Bistro, right off the Madeleine, that is welcoming. Andre (the Manager) was very responsive to emails, & very welcoming on the night. Our waiter was charming & very friendly, and a font of knowledge about wine (to whom we deferred the choice). After reading the reviews, I felt that I had no choice but to order the escargots and the Blanquette. Both were divine. My Sweetie had the foie gras (seriously GTFO...), & the sole Meuniere (delicious & light). Our waiter suggested the berries meringue (amazeballs). By the time we left (10-ish..) it started to get quite lively. We should have stayed longer.. Go, its terrific.

After a week in France I must my share that this was one of the most incredible establishments we visited! The owner greeted us and despite saying that her English was poor she spoke to us fluently for most of the evening! The menu is limited and consists very traditional dishes. We started off with escargot in garlic and butter and foie gras terrine. Both were amazing! The owner recommended the duck for two, carved at the table and prepared two different ways. It was amazing! The second serving of the duck was the dark meat which was cooked in orange juice and served on turnip. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was friendly! I only wish I had room for more of their dessert and their incredible cheese selection. We are so glad the hotel concierge recommended the establishment. The owner is about to open a second restaurant and when we return to Paris we will absolutely try it.

This place is absolutely fantastic! Off the beaten path with great service and the food is not short from what you'd expect from Paris. It is the perfect place to have a dinner with your date or a good friend. Service is great and the food is just a amazing! I highly recommend to start with the Escargots and Fua. For the main course, their meet stews are incredible; I went for the veil stew and the sauce was something out of this world. You can't leave without desert so make sure you leave some room for the profiteroles filled with vanilla ice cream and covers with melted chocolate. A must stop if you are ever in Paris!

I guess my expectations were bit high for this place. First, little radish they served weren't fresh and weren't properly washed. I found myself chewing fine sand. Ordered Sole fish thinking expensive dish must be good. I was wrong. It had just plain taste. Had to raise my hand to get attention from the server. I don't know how they received Michelin star at some point. Overall, it wasn't bad nor good but wouldn't go back especially for that price point.

This was the best meal I've ever had. We came here at the suggestion of our concierge for a classic French meal and it was perfect. We had the scallops appetizer with avocado sauce and we loved it. We also had the escargot which were the most flavorful I've ever had. My husband had the fillet and raved about it. I had the veal stew at the recommendation of our concierge and I am so glad I did. It came in a beautiful copper pot and was so rich and tender. Service was lovely. I will come back to this restaurant every time I return to Paris.

They have seasonal menus and also have English version on. We ordered fish and veal stew, and they were pretty good. However, the servers could be more patient with customers.

Impeccable service and food. Escargot was amazing and the Dover sole pretty wonderful as well. Quiet Parisian ambiance and a great selection of wines.

Absolutely horrible service. The servers were extremely rude and unhygienic. One of them dropped radishes that come with bread and picked them up and put them right back in the bowl and served it as nothing happened. When I asked to get it replaced after explaining the situation, there were no apologies. They didn't take our coat while they took coats of other French customers, and they forgot my request to get more bread. For the money I am paying, this kind of service is unacceptable. By the way, they charged 8 euros for a bottle of water.

My husband and I visited Paris for my birthday a few weeks ago and Chez Monsieur was by far our favorite meal. On our first night we didn't know how we'd be feeling with jet lag so we hadn't made a reservation anywhere. Our hotel recommended this place and called to see if they could fit us in on a Sunday night-they could and by the time we walked the 15 minutes to the restaurant, they had a nice table for us by the window. Our French isn't great but they humored us and also spoke perfect English, which was helpful and appreciated. We had a couple of carafes of the house red wine, which was great. When we sat they brought out a generous basket of fresh bread along with a nice plate of sliced meat with butter. We began with the escargot and foie gras. The escargot was delicious and flavorful, and my husband really enjoyed the foie gras. It's not really my thing but I tried it and enjoyed it more than others I've had. For our main dishes I had the steak and my husband had the veal blanquette. Both were amazing. My steak was cooked perfectly and the potatoes it came with were crispy and delicious. The real star though was the blanquette. We'd never had it before and it was just perfect. The meat melts in your mouth and the creamy sauce is rich and flavorful. The portion of this was huge and was more than enough so that we could both enjoy some. We had no room for dessert but they brought us some madeleines with applesauce to finish the meal. The restaurant is so cozy and relaxing as well. We're always a bit skeptical when we ask hotels for recommendations with the fear of being sent to a tourist trap, but the crowd here was a good mix of locals and travelers like us. From the friendly staff, to the delicious food, to the great atmosphere, I'll dream of this meal in Paris forever.

The worst service I have ever encountered. My chicken came raw and I asked them to cook it a little more. Waiter did not apologize. It was still brought back to me raw and I didn't not eat it. Charged for the whole plate. Terrible experience

This place wasn't on my radar, but I'm so glad that we got a last minute recommendation to have lunch here. It was really good. The inside is really cute and the staff was attentive and friendly. Food/wine: Burrata with summer truffle, old fashioned tomato salad. The cheese was very fresh. French Onion soup was amazing. It was the best one we had during our stay in Paris. Very flavorful. Veal Stew - Wow! This blew us away. This is a must. I would return just for this dish. The sauce was outstanding. Beef tartare and roasted potatoes. The tartare was good not great. I've had better at a few other restaurants in Chicago. The potatoes were really good, cooked to perfection! Profiteroles with real chocolate sauce was an excellent end to this awesome lunch. The wines are very responsibly priced both by the glass and bottle. We will definitely come back on future trips to Paris!!!!

We enjoyed our first dinner in Paris here! The service was great and it was a cute spot! We shared the escargot and the veal stew, everything was delicious. It was my first time eating escargot and it was probably the best place to try it.

Amazing restaurant! What a cute and romantic interior, great menu, and even better food. My guest and I ordered appetizers and entrees - the foie gras was so good, and the haricots verts salad was excellent as well. For dinner, we got the sole and duck. Both were delicious. I'm usually not a huge fan of duck but my dish made me change my mind. The dessert was the star of the show - get the profiteroles! The chocolate sauce they're served with is to die for, and I wish I could bring some home with me. Wish I had the time to go back again during our trip. Update: We made the time to go back! After our dinner tonight, we knew we had to go back for dessert. We popped in right before closing time and the waiters were so welcoming and kind. Had some great coffee, wine, and profiteroles of course.

Dog-friendly!!! Also delicious. My boyfriend loved his stew. The salmon tartare was excellent. And we had a delightful Sancerre. The waitress also spoke excellent English.

Loved the delicate Onion soup! Escargot at best. Arctic Char was absolutely delicious and would come back just enjoy the dish again. Music and ambiance made the whole experience complete. Our waiter made the lunch special. I will be back for sure

Stumbled upon this gem. Stared with escargot and was delicious, full of flavor and we ordered duck foie gras which literally melted in your mouth. The bread was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. My boyfriend and I had shared the duck and they were kind enough to split the plate in two. The duck in itself had wonderful flavor, was cooked medium and juicy with wonderful crisp for skin. Waiter and staff was extremely friendly. After seeing the review on the chocolate prolifies. I am sad I did not order as we were trying to save our stomach for some other food. I would highly recommend coming here for dinner.

This restaurant shamelessly pads the bill--avoid at all costs---and decline any "courtesy" items you did not explicitly order. Prepare to be charged double if you attempt to split an item. Restaurant does not allow you to take away any items, even after they serve you and charge you for more food than you ordered. Two stars because the food itself is fine. Note: this is not a language problem or cultural misunderstanding---these people are highway robbers, and there are fifty comparable honest bistros a stone's throw away.

We ended up here by mistake and were so pleasantly surprised as it was the best place to have our first meal in Paris. Our wait staff Severina picked out a great red wine as the start of our meal. With that we shared the salmon tartar followed by steak and hake. Everything was unique and freshly prepared. The hake was accompanied by delicious pesto, micro greens and peas that I swear they just plucked off a vine grown inside the restaurant! Severina was well knowledgeable about the area and was so easy to talk to and assist us with the must sees of Paris. Great place and friendly people ! A definite place to return to !!

Was in Paris for one week, and came here twice for dinner with no reservation. Was able to be squeezed in, but encourage others to make a rez. Had the veal stew and the duck - highly recommend!!

Wow, this restaurant exceeded expectations. It is a small, very cozy and charming looking restaurant. The service is attentive and quick and the food OMG! I always order escargots in all bistro's in Paris and these were by far the most delicious I had on this trip.m and maybe ever. Their menu, is very limited but I decided to order those scallops and they did not disappoint. The combination of flavors and textures were outstanding. I am not a chocolate person, but try their profiteroles were out of this world. The richness and silkiness in chocolate sauce was what sweet dreams are made of. I will leave you with the pictures, and you be the judge. Oh and forgot to mention my husband's blanquette de veau (veal) he still can't stop drooling over this dish!

On our long weekend in Paris, we happened upon Chez Monseiur. We had such a great meal that I made a reservation for one for the following evening as I was on my own for dinner. The staff was very accommodating for me as a single diner. I had reserved the bar seat but when I arrived found that I also had the choice of a table preset for one. The maitre'd mentioned that the bartender that evening did not speak English and he set a table if I'd prefer. I ordered the escargot to begin which was served with butter and garlic in their shells. This was the first time I had snails and they were perfect. My waiter recommended the veal stew as it was a signature dish. It was delicious! The meal is served in a copper pot and dished onto your plate. The staff was so attentive that I never had to serve myself. Each time my plate got low a waiter would appear and serve me again. The veal melted in your mouth and the creamy sauce was mouthwatering. I had the rice pudding for dessert. It was also delicious with toasted hazelnuts but not pudding-like by American standards, more like cream over rice. This restaurant absolutely made my experience in France memorable!

The blanquette de veau is the meal we ordered. It was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was very very French as many of the Other diners were speaking French. This was our first meal in Paris after a long plane flight from LA. It was like returning home great night great food, highly recommend it.
