Le Cornichon - Review - 11th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation
"Nostalgia is the mot d’ordre for a lot of Paris’ trendiest new cafés, like le Cornichon. But this place is the only one where you can play pinball or color on the paper tablecloth while waiting for a leek-vinaigrette that's pretty enough for a spot at the Louvre. The no-choice semainier is the move at lunch: a three-course prix fixe featuring a different childhood fave each day of the week. Veal blanquette is fork tender, covered with a sauce so creamy that it transforms the accompanying rice into a risotto doppelgänger, and the apple crumble crowned with raw cream will make you want to lick the bowl clean. In the evening, Le Cornichon evolves into a no-reservations drinks-driven bar with creative small plates and massive platters of crispy frites." - Emily Monaco
Definitely the best place in the neighborhood! Everything we tasted was delicious, and the interior and staff are really what make this restaurant. Don’t leave without trying the meat and fries — it’s SO GOOD. And the chocolate cake is one of the best desserts I’ve ever had — truly top-notch!

A really delicious, fun vibe for a new restaurant on the Paris scene. Some of the best french fries and Béarnaise sauce I have ever had! Came for lunch with a reservation and on a rainy day. Happy we did.

Absolutely a new favorite (new to me, not new to the world!). I had their lunch special and ate every morsel with pleasure and plenty of thins to mop my bread into for some freakishly clean plates. Will be back!

A neighborhood café and restaurant where people like to gather drink, chitchat, and eat.
Cornichon offers a la carte and a daily menu.
We loved what we had on that Monday!
My husband who normally doesn't like meatballs, loved them.
I highly recommend Cornichon!

This place is really fun and the best thing is definitely the drinks and the atmosphere. You can get frozen cocktails which look fun and taste good. The food is also good. It’s best to reserve in advance as the place is popular!

A really nice parisian bistro with a vibrant and busy vibe, clearly liked by a lot of people as it was packed all evening.
We sat by the terrace and ordered some cured ham and egg with tartare sauce (fun surprise to get a whole boiled egg with the shell on) and then their côte de bœuf with fries and a really tasty bearnaise on the side to share. Big portion for two people. Staff had a lot to do but still managed to take their time with every table and deliver service.
Also had a glass of red beaujolais that was out of this world !!
Big recommend !

This is just not the place. The service was horrible, the server kept slamming things on everyone’s table. They didn’t print us the side salad or extra fries. Overall the food was very average and lacked salt.
