8/10Went there for the boudin noir, which is pretty hard to find in Paris and virtually impossible to find in the US. Au Bascou has changed chefs, but it tasted as good as it did when I first had it twenty years ago. Wife's veal stew was also excellent. Chocolate dessert also very good. Service friendly and attentive. I actually love that it is such an old school, authentic Parisian restaurant--no frills at all, no ambient music, simple decor--used to be a ton of these, but seemingly harder to find these days. But I understand that some would find its simplicity and hushed atmosphere less than appealing--to each his own--nonetheless hard to give it multiple stars for that given today's expectations. All in all, an easy recommendation for those looking for a simple French Basque dining experience.

10/10I have been eating at Au Bascou while in Paris since 2004, if not earlier. It's always reliable. The menu and wine list are short and well chosen, centering Basque cuisine and southwestern wines. (I almost always choose an Irouléguy.) Service is warm and attentive. One of my favorite Parisian bistrots.

10/10A quiet, understated restaurant with excellent food and a nice wine selection. They were understanding of our 7-year-old granddaughter who came with us. The place is small and intimate, and it is the type of place to go to if you want excellent food and service without loud music and other pretentiousness.

10/10Everything about this restaurant is perfect - the food is wonderful and the servers and host are as welcoming and responsive as we’ve ever experienced in Paris. We never come to Paris without coming here. Nothing reminds us of the special ambiance of Paris as much as this intimate and warm place.

10/10We visit Au Bascou every time we are in Paris and it never disappoints. The food is wonderful and beautifully presented and the service is exceptional. And the price is very moderate. Nothing but praise for this restaurant!

10/10We spent a great evening at Bascou focusing on what mattered most: superb food and wine. The “lièvre à la royale” was delicious, as was the foie gras with the best beetroot condiment I’ve ever tasted. The decor and service is understated but warm. We’ll be back!

9.5/10We were recommended this restaurant by a local lady, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, and a good sized serves. We tried the blood sausage, calamari and lobster dishes, all different, but all tasty. My only suggestion was that it was a little warm inside, and could have benefited from a little light background music. Overall, I’d recommend this restaurant, especially if you are a tourist like myself.
