Restaurant Quedubon

Wonderful neighborhood place with an impressive wine board. Two English speaking waitresses were busy but very helpful. Menu (attached) features game and offal. We started with thinly sliced veal tongue and thinly sliced pig ears. Wonderful. For mains we ate sweet breads and a crout stuffed with wild boar (vol-au-vent). Desert was a berry tarte. Located in the 18th so a bit of a project to get there but it’s not to be missed

Comfortable neighborhood restaurant with excellent food and an interesting chalkboard wine list that changes according to what is available. Small menu changes daily with well-chosen and well-crafted dishes. Although dishes are divided into starters and mains all of our dishes came at the same time. Might be better to order in stages or ask to have a pause between courses if you want a more leisurely meal. Ris de veau is a signature dish and we loved it! Pâté en crôute (with guinea fowl and pork) was excellent. Service was good and conversation shifted easily between French and English without a trace of attitude.

Had the Pâté en crôute and the tartare de filet Mignon. Both were delicious, but the tartare may have been the best meal I ate in Paris. Service was great and super friendly. Waiter spoke a bit of English and was happy to explain some of the menu to me.

This meal spoke fluent terroir. I began with cervelle de veau, handled with rare restraint. Perfectly delicate, just set, never overworked. The richness was lifted by precise acidity—classic French technique doing what it does best: letting the ingredient breathe. No theatrics, just confidence. A dish that whispers rather than shouts. The joue de bœuf followed—slow-cooked into submission. Deep, gelatinous, and soulful. This is the kind of dish that reminds you why patience is a virtue in French kitchens. The sauce carried weight without heaviness, coating the palate like a well-worn cashmere coat. The betterave proved to be the wiser choice. Earthy, gently sweet, and thoughtfully composed, it brought contrast rather than competition. Where meat would have doubled down on weight, the beetroot introduced clarity—grounded, vegetal, and quietly elegant. It anchored the meal in seasonality and restraint, a reminder that French cuisine at its best knows when not to add more. The red wine pairing still held its ground. The wine’s earth and spice mirrored the beetroot’s depth, while its structure kept the veal brain honest. Less force, more dialogue. What impressed most was the continuity—the quiet logic from nose to root, from classic technique to honest execution. This is French cuisine with memory: respectful of tradition, uninterested in trends, and confident enough to let simplicity do the work. A meal for those who eat with curiosity—and discernment.

French bistrot cuisine. Tasty and perfectly executed. A friendly staff. A bargain lunch menu for less than 20€. A long list of delicious (natural) wines. A must-go in the vicinity.

The food here is amazing, if not some what different. I started with the pate en crute which was amazing and followed this up with the 16 hour cooked beef cheek, this was cooked to perfection, to finish off I had the fromage, a selection of 4 cheeses each one nicer than the last. My partner started with the scallops followed by the pigeon vol au vant and finished with the Ciemeux chocolat. I had this with a half bottle of the house red wine, which was the best I'd had in Paris, I just wish that I could remember what wine it was so that I could get some more.

The pros : freshly prepared dishes, excellent value for money, nice selection of wines, good service, this is a rare find in the 19th district of Paris The cons : restaurant isn’t very big, booking is recommended

Was invited there and never heard about the place before ! A small and humble facade restaurant with some amazing super quality food ! The chef is so creative and the food super nice and tasty ! I had a cold brocoli soup which was so good and a piece of grilled cabillaud and it was also great and well cooked. The lunch meal price meal price is super fair concidering the quality and the menu looks great and the price really shows the quality of the place ! Not expensive for the food you have .. i will go back for sure

They live up to their name, which means "only good things". We sought out this off-the-beaten-path Parisian bistro because of the epic wine list (with lots of natural wines) and decadent, generous servings of French fare like tartare, terrine, joue de boeuf, or cervelle de veau (sheep brain) if you're into that. Presentation is gorgeous, with hearty portions. The vibe is utterly French, vibrant, with wine flowing all night. The atmosphere is super comfy, clean and classic. It's near Buttes Chaumont park so not a place you'll stumble upon easily, but a very memorable meal if you're looking for something tres francais (and tres filling).

One really really cool wine menu. I've been there every now and then the last 6-7 years. Food can be delicious but the wine menu is what brings me back again and again. The patron is really into wine and care for good food and good ingredients. The only minus might be that the patron does have a strong personality and not sure it fit with everybody, not even that I am always in the mood. It can feel a bit ostentatious or patronizing... but hell, do we want something smooth and without personality?

My friend and I had a wonderful lunch here due to the wine, well-cooked food, and the warmth of the owner. We enjoyed it so much that we returned for our last dinner in Paris at the end of a trip. A splurge but worth it for a special meal. I had a steak with gratin potatoes and everything was beautifully cooked.
