le temps au temps

It was our second visit in 12 months...and it is still brilliant. The chef patron does a terrific job. Interesting and delicious food, beautifully cooked - with excellent wine matches. Unfairly in the shadow of Bistrot Paul Bert, my partner and I believe that Le Temps au Temps is the more interesting, intimate and rewarding place.

Very impressed with this great little restaurant, the owner/chef masterfully creates and serves authentic french cuisine. The price is very reasonable. Be sure to get there early as they only have limited seat.

Hidden gem! One man show, he is talented, kind, and most of all a great host! We had a GREAT time dining here. I think everyone trying to go to Paul Bert that fail to get a reservation should stop in here! It’s so freaking good! We had a hard time deciphering the handwriting in French but nothing that couldn’t be solved. The dessert wasn’t my favorite but still, I would definitely be back just cause the ambiance and service and try other of his awesome creations. Oh yeah look at the toilet paper, um hello, so thoughtful.

One of the best little restaurants I've tried in Paris! It's incredible because it seemed like a one or two man operation -so the food may come a little slower but if you're here to enjoy a relaxing meal with good food, this is highly recommended! Incredible value for the price, and lovely friendly service.

This restaurant was an awesome find. It's a one man operation with the chef doing service as well as all the cooking. He was welcoming and is clearly passionate about his food and wants you to enjoy it. The food was delicious and was our best meal in Paris. What an experience.

An absolute hidden gem! We were recommended by a friend and were pleasantly surprised! Can’t fault the service, the owner is very kind, patient and talented and we would gladly come back in the future.

A lovely small place with delicious food. While the service is a little slower because the chef is also the waiter, the incredible food is more than worth it. The escargots were amongst the best I've ever tried.

Reasonable prices. Formula menu- you choose an appetizer, main and dessert. One server. One chef. The server has very limited English but we managed together to order what we wanted. The zucchini soup was delicious. The chicken main was good but it felt a little heavy with all the oil. The roasted potatoes were exquisite. Small, cozy and very French restaurant. Give it a try.

Wow. The food was fresh and delicious; the service was impeccable. The owner, chef, server was magical. He was efficient and beyond pleasant. I don't speak French and used google translate to figure out the menu. I will return again and again. Highly recommend!!

I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this restaurant! My bf and I were going to eat at a place across the street, on the recommendation of a friend, but it was closed for vacation. We looked online for another French restaurant and saw this place and decided to give it a try. The experience was really special. One man does everything from waiting the tables to cooking all of the food to bussing. Honestly, I am so impressed that he did everything, nevermind that he did it so well. We each got the three course meal and glass of wine and it came to 39 euros for each of us. The food was excellent; flavors were complex and creative. The potions were generous, and I couldn't finish it all. Plus the man was just so nice. I regret that I speak no French other than the basic necessary words. It would have been nice to be able to interact with him on more than a very simple and superficial level. I really enjoyed going to a restaurant where you can see the person who is invested in it and know where your money is going. That is a true rarity today. I would come back if I came to Paris again. What a unique and lovely experience!

This was, without a doubt one of the top 3 best meals I've ever had in the world. Everything from the bottle of wine we ordered, to the entree to the desert was phenomenal. This is a unique place operated by one man (I wish we learned his name, he was so nice) who is the Chef, the waiter and the bartender, patience is key here but I promise it's worth any wait you experience. I feel like we discovered a hidden gem here in the 11th arrondissment, we will most definitely be coming back when in Paris again. 10/10

Fantastic food and very good service. Small and cosy - Truly a gem! We will go here every time we come to Paris

We loved this place so much. The chef/owner did everything himself - waiter, bartender, chef, everything. Everything was perfect, wonderfully French authentic, what a pleasure. Fois gras, fish, lamb, deer, vegetables, soup, cocktails, wine selection, everything was stellar. Go, and enjoy. A true treasure.

Amazing meal! The chef was a 1 man show the night we went; he was everything from fantastic chef to waiter. Food was the best we've had in Paris (and reasonably priced!), the fish was fresh, seasoned and pan seared to perfection. Pork with polenta was equally excellent. As a chef and waiter: very responsive, eager to please, a super nice guy. After visiting a couple other local restaurants we wish we only dined here! When we return to Paris, we will dine here again.
