L'Alchimiste

Very tasty food and big portions but limited taste palette. Nice and helpful service also good wine. Dinner was absolutely worth the money. Place is a bit too small so it’s useful to make a reservation.

If you don’t visit this beautiful Parisian bistro you are missing out! From stepping through the door the service was outstanding, even though I was the only English speaking person, I was not made to feel awkward and was given the best service I’ve possibly ever had. The food! The food was amazing, I was probably ( as the British would say) rather rude as I didn’t like the original wine I chose, and then I asked to combine two of the dishes from the menu formule. All done with a smile and grace and I had the best meal, it tasted amazing and the wine was heavenly. If you do not visit this little gem, you will be missing out on a truly wonderful service and magnificent food.

Delicious food at an amazing price! Cost included plate and dessert The atmosphere is lovely.

Perfect spot to relax with friends or family and take in casual and tasty French food. The owner is very personable just like the cuisine.

The alchemy of this place begins when you walk through the door and enter another world… nothing is rushed and everything is very good and generous. Perfect for a good conversation over lunch, without the slightest of irritation. The owner serves you attentively but discretely beautiful dishes and delicious and unusual wines by the glass. Desserts are also to die for. A small place, you must reserve, and should be respectful of others enjoying a privileged but down to earth experience. My new favorite in Paris! Thanks to Ian Johnson who introduced me to this place!

Stumbled on this quaint family owned restaurant. Total about 22 people. Very warm and cosy ambience. Good service from the owner. Very reasonable prices as well. Entree and desert 20 euro only. Large portion! More like American sized ! thought the French are very little ? Had the duck confit and veal. With white and red wine. Very tasty. The duck was heavenly. The veal a tad salty but still very delicious. And the desserts were splendid as well. Worth a trip.

Such a great, authentic café with really delicious food. Not the place for someone looking for something fancy or pretentious.

This is a small quaint French restaurant with a chalkboard menu. My duck was chopped up and served in a fried duck fat package with date, pistachio, and honey flavors. Served with a big green salad on the side, and a vegetable pate to dip the bread in. Dessert was a delicious warm chocolate lava cake.

Amazing food, fantastic service (best I've had in Paris), prices are a bit high €25-30 but you get way more than you pay for. They do accept credit cards!

I fell in love with this little restaurant in the residential street of Paris. You have amazing choice of items on the menu: from beef tartare to seared tuna. Rose, creme brûlée, chocolate mousse - stairways to heaven. Highly recommend!

Found through Yelp and decided to try this restaurant due to proximity to hotel. We did not have a reservation, arrived at ~7:45PM to almost full house (literally one small table left) yet they accommodated our party of three with no fuss. Server was VERY nice (we speak very little French) and professional. Nicely curated small selection of wine. Variety of choices of entrée and mains were impressive. All our dishes were excellent. Maybe the escargot in lentils dish had a bit muddled flavor, but was still tasty. Quaint little place that fully met/exceeded my expectations for a neighborhood joint.

Amazing find in a residential area of Paris. Amazing food, amazing service, great prices.

I've heard from friends that this restaurant has been sold and is nothing like the old reviews. The website is closed. It's quite a shame because this one was a true gem.
