"It’s quiet, hard-working, limelight-shunning chefs like David Rathgeber who make Paris such an enduringly great food city. He took over this locally famous restaurant — previously helmed by a flamboyant chef named Lulu who charmed the likes of late President François Mitterrand and other celebrities — and has made it one of the city’s best bistros. It’s well worth the trek to the quiet 14th arrondissement for his deft take on traditional dishes like pork-knuckle rillettes with foie gras and a superb cassoulet. The menu also offers lighter fare, including cuttlefish carbonara and sea bream tartare with green tomato and coriander jus. The creme caramel is nothing short of epic. Located in the 14th arrondissement." - Alexander Lobrano

"An honest and generous place where you can see what's going on in the kitchen. Home-made cassoulet (also available in the adjoining shop), pâté en croûte, vegetable pickles; beef chuck braised in red wine and tender carrots; rum baba: Think traditional cuisine with a chic bistro twist." - Michelin Inspector

We celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday at L’Assiette & we couldn’t have been more impressed. Between us we tried most things on the menu ! Everything we tasted was stunning from the cold pea soup to the unctuous Cassoulet , creamy Cantal vieux fromage & boozy Rum Baba . The wines were delicious , perfectly matched & advised by the maitre’d / Sommelier. The service impeccable & our delightfully charming waiter really made the evening complete . We would all go back in a heartbeat!

Cost cute little bistro. Amazing food and wonderful service. Chef is a Japanese transplant and I think he brings the Japanese meticulousness to the french food. Waiter was excellent, knew all the dishes very well and recommended excellent wine pairings Will def be back next time in Paris!

Come for the cassoulet and brilliant wine selection. Leave with a feeling of warmth and a full belly. The young woman who runs the front of the house is absolutely brilliant, charming and cute. Starters could use some enhancement to include a bit more selection and mains could use a chicken or similar but that cassoulet will keep us coming back. Large portion and very shareable. The fromages served as a starter since we are quite hungry on arrival.

Absolutely divine cassoulet, great wines by the glass and the salted caramel creme caramel was out of this world. Come with an nice empty tummy! We were sat by the door which doesn't shut properly so sometimes meant we were sat in an unpleasant cold draft.. but that's the only complaint.

If you go to L'assiette and order anything besides the Cassoulet you are really doing yourself a disservice. It is an extremely special dish, if you like beans and meats stewed together. At 41€ for more than enough food for two, its a real steal. They are also known for the Crème caramel, which I ordered and was not disappointed. In hindsight I would have kicked myself for not ordering it. While this establishment is a bit off the beaten path, its not a bad 10 minute walk from the nearest metro, and is worth the trek. You will need the exercise to burn the calories on the way back home.

My favorite foods are the bean casserol, cheese, and creme brulet. All very good. The vine in the picture was also great. I went there twice

The waiters were very warm and friendly and patient to introduce the dishes. Snail is highly recommended, which is the best. The stewed beef is soft and delicious. Cassoulet is very distinctive and has a really large amount. Everything is just perfect. I will definitely come again when I have a chance and recommend it to my friends.

The place is quite small, and we had to wait a while for the food. However, overall, the food and the dessert were good.sert were really good.
