Les Zygomates

My husband and I spent 8 days (early April 2025) in lovely Paris and we found this quaint, cozy, nice sized restaurant within easy walking distance from our airbnb in the 12th arrondissement. What a great find! Best of all, this elegant place is COMPLETELY sheltered from any outside cigarette smoke - yay! SO many restaurants have their doors open, especially during nice warm days (understandably so) but the outside cigarette smoke always find a way inside and affects those of us trying to avoid 2nd hand smoke. Service was personable and professional. Food was fresh and we understand the menu changes weekly based on what’s fresh from the markets. Price was great! 2 choices of price fix - both VERY reasonable. Alcohol is not included in the price fix menu, but still reasonably priced. The special aperitifs were very tasty (per my hubby) and the desserts were outstanding! Reservations highly recommended cos they get many walk-ins alongside reservations. The host was able to communicate in adequate English for us to make our decisions. It was so good that we went back for the 2nd time before leaving Paris! This is a MUST go to place next time we go back! Hope you’re able to enjoy it as much as we did! Bon Appetit!

We visited this small restaurant twice as two families with kids. Anybody was really satisfied. Meals were properly sized, tasty and well presented. Very nice service. An authentic French cuisine experience at a reasonable price.

We had an amazing meal. Delicious lamb. Not very crowded but a really cute authentic bistro.

We've had a greate dinner! It's a small restaurant in a quiet neighborhood. Most likely you will need a reservation. The food is really good. Highly recommend!

Absolutely FANTASTIC local and authentic French cuisine experience. LOVED IT. Well worth the trip outside the tourist path. We walked from the center and back through the streets and parks. Amazing!

Great experience, very small place, everything fresh and very tasty. We loved it!

A brand new little restaurant, very good! Some organizational problems (bring cash, the credit card reader does not always work) but largely compensated by the quality of the dishes, very generous. A little extra for the very commercial aspect of the owner. In short, an address to recommend!

One of the best traditional french restaurants you can find around Paris with French cuisine, "dishes prepared from first principles"

This quaint French restaurant was absolutely amazing. My husband and I wanted a special dinner for out anniversary and this restaurant did not disappoint. It's a hidden gem in Paris!
