Le Petit Bouillon Pharamond

Traditional French cuisine restaurant opened over 100 years located around Chatelet. Lunch time they don’t take reservations so better go early. You can try most of the French traditional food here with really reasonable prices. Highly recommended for travellers . Simple and traditional decorations with very effective services, will come back again.

The place looked fancy, but the prices were surprisingly affordable. The staff were neither overly accommodating nor rude. We tried their marrowbone, butcher’s cut, and smoked pork. The marrowbone and butcher’s cut were delicious, but the smoked pork didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I enjoyed the way it was cooked, but it lacked flavour. Since we were a bit full, we didn’t get to try their other dishes. However, I can confidently say that this place is worth your money if you’re on a budget. The service was quite fast, and I recommend booking a table a night before your planned date.

We have tried several Boullion restaurants in Paris over the years, and this one was on our list. We arrived at around 12:45 and without a reservation, but were seated after a very short wait. But the wait was not over. After being seated, we waited and waited for a waiter. After about 20 minutes my wife was able to flag a waiter for some water. Then we had about another 10 minutes before he returned to take our order. The food was very good and came fairly rapidly. When finished we got the check, which included a 10% service charge. As I went to pay via tap, our waiter asked if I wished to add a tip! This would have been on top of the 10% already charged for what we considered very poor service. I refused and we left. Don’t fall for that kind of scam, which I’ve heard is sometimes directed at unsuspecting tourists. You can of course add a bit more of a tip if you get great service. I should add that the prices are very reasonable and the food is very good.

We came here because we got hungry while walking around and this bouillon restaurant was nearby. We arrived during a less busy time, so we didn't have to wait long to get in. Our expectations weren't that high, but this turned out to be one of the most enjoyable bouillon restaurant we visited. The kir made with blackcurrant liqueur was delicious. We had escargot, butcher's cut, and duck confit, and we loved everything. The atmosphere was very nice and pleasant.

Very tasty food and generous portions! Prices are really affordable, especially for Paris. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, and everything feels convenient and welcoming. A great place to enjoy a delicious French meal without spending too much. Highly recommend!

My daughter had been taken here the day before with her friend who lives in the city. She enjoyed it so much we decided to try it out. About a 15 minute wait on a Monday lunchtime I'm July. Food was excellent and the bill very reasonable indeed. Would recommend and would go again next time we are back in Paris.

It’s always packed, but the wait was fine. It’s very crowded inside but we got a table for four. There were a few item that were out for the time we visited. So we had to change our order. The food took some time but it’s not too much for the number of people the kitchen is serving. The food was good. Some items were ok. Nothing bad. Well made food, but not too spectacular. We had 4 starters and 4 mains and two desserts and 1 liter of cider, it was around 22€ per person which is fair.

We came here for its reputation as a classic French restaurant. The decor was quite unique, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. Confit de canard was tasty, though it seemed different from the traditional preparation I was expecting—so much so that I briefly wondered if there had been a mix-up with the order! Boeuf bourguignon was also excellent, with a subtle hint of wine complementing the tender, flavorful beef beautifully. I also love the french dessert！
