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.

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.

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.

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.

This cozy, rustic restaurant tucked away in the corner of a street has always caught my eye, being consistently packed during lunch and dinner hours. After living in the neighborhood for years, I finally had the chance to try it. Be sure to come hungry, as the portions are generous. The complementary appetizer was intriguing, with flavors we couldn’t quite place. I highly recommend the pastilla de confit de canard – a delightful balance of sweet and savory with an interesting mix of textures. For something lighter, go for the croustillant au cantal. The molten chocolate cake was a standout – dense, rich, and not overly sweet. The roasted apples served as a perfect palate cleanser with their slight acidity, ideal for those without a sweet tooth. The apple tart, more akin to an apple cake, was also delicious and not too sweet. Lastly we also got to try the poched pear cream with chocolate – it was my favourite out of all 3 desserts! Given the reasonable prices (20€ for a menu, 5€ for a glass of wine), the generous portions, and the quality of the dishes, I highly recommend this spot!

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

I wanted a local Parisian dining experience and this place was amazing. Only 22 seats and a 2 course dinner menu for 18e. Everything was spectacular. The service was top-notch the food was so well-prepared and plentiful. We were given aperitif and digestive on the house. Cannot recommend highly enough!

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.
