10/10My second visit here in 2 years. I couldn’t wait to come back. The owner and the staff is absolutely amazing, and the food - you won’t find anything better. Don’t miss out on this restaurant in Paris, it’s love at first sight.

10/10Au P’tit Curieux is a quaint French restaurant in the 19th Arr. Do not let the size of the restaurant deter you because the food, service, and ambiance make it a hidden gem in Paris! The food was so amazing (recommend the steak, lamb chops, and back of cod)! They were easily able to accommodate my family of 14, so large groups are also welcome. I definitely recommend for anyone who wants to get an authentic French dining experience away from the usual hustle and bustle of Paris.

9.5/10Food was excellent, service was excellent. Wine was warm and stored room temperature standing up. Wine selection was average to below. All in all a very good dinner.

8/10Our visit was good. The vegetarian food was great. The restaurant is charming. Only reason for good not great is the wine we chose was no longer available and without telling us the price difference we were offered a bottle that was almost €30 more. All in all enjoyable just make sure to ask if they substitute your 1st choice.

10/10This was our 2nd dinner at Au P’tit Curieux. The owner, Selim, is the consummate host. The food on both occasions was excellent as well as being consistent. Highly recommend.

10/10We had a lovely evening at Au P'tit Curieux. It has a relatively small number of tables so the whole experience was quite different to (and better than) larger restaurants. It also meant that the host could respond appropriately to the needs of each table so we never felt either rushed or neglected - and the food and wine were very good too! Strongly recommended for visitors to Paris staying near Gare du Nord/de l'Est and willing to take the 25 minute walk or short metro ride to the restaurant.

10/10The restaurant is very highly rated, so I wanted to try it. It is very small and quite a distance from the tourist area. The food and service did not disappoint. I highly recommend this restaurant.

10/10This is what everyone hopes for when booking a Paris restaurant. Intimate, graceful, owner driven, exceptional service, attentive pacing and, best of all, an inventive chef who uses organic ingredients to deliver memorable dishes. Don’t miss this gem.

10/10This is a charming restaurant, with great character. We had a lovely romantic dinner there, the food was excellent (flavours, presentation), much better than many very good touristic-oriented restaurants in this beautiful city, the ambiance was authentic, and the service was first class. Warmly recommended!

10/10From the moment we stepped into this lovely restaurant we were overwhelmed with the care, attention to detail, and beautiful atmosphere. Food 5 stars and delicious! Service excellent, and environment the perfect mix of tasteful and eclectic. Recommend to others? Absolutely! Will we return? Yes most definitely. A beautiful evening.

10/10All the great reviews for this little restaurant are true. Don’t be put off by the surrounding neighborhood, inside is a beautiful, intimate ding experience. Service was professional and prompt, but un-rushed. A brief, but satisfying wine list, reasonably price……particularly by the glass. Very generous pours! You must order the gazpacho, it is so refreshing despite the creamy texture. We ordered the salmon and entrecôte….both main dishes were great. This restaurant is really worth the visit!

10/10My family of four visited this restaurant on our last night in Paris. The interior of the restaurant was clean and festive. The service was attentive. The food was beautifully composed. Plus, the food tastes as good as it looked. If you are looking for a delicious meal with the French flair then you need to visit this restaurant.

10/10This is one of the best restaurants we've ever eaten at. Food, service, ambience -- all was superb . The welcome when we arrived put as at ease quickly. The chefs arrived at around the same time as we did and they also greeted us warmly. Every course was excellent and it was wonderful that the water jug was replelnished several times without any need to ask and the staff clearly cared about how the food was received and the experience of their guests. The menu uses excellent ingredients, well thought out and generous but not overwhelming portions. The wine list is superb. The place is also beauriful with the music played during the evening added to a great experience. We would love to return.

10/10Simply the best! Our host, Silem made us feel like we were at his home, probably because it was his home. The four of us all agreed that the combination of spectacular food, beautiful presentation, excellent attention, and the warmth we all felt from our hots made this a memorable experience. The tuna carpaccio with gazpacho was stunning as was the cream of asparagus soup. My wife's seafood risotto was incredible. The wines Silem selected for us were delicious and well-chosen. We are all veteran travelers, been to Paris previously, and enjoy great food and ambience. All in all one of the best culinary experiences any of us had. Thank you so much!

10/10This restaurant is a definite gem. The ambiance is delightful, the food was delicious and the service was great. My husband and I had the duck and filet of sole, both were delicious. We each had starters, the Tuna carpaccio and the creamy asparagus soup. The tuna carpaccio had a nice kick to it and the soup with the lettuce and snap peas was creamy and light. For dessert we had the chocolate fondant cake with its crushed nuts and thick warm chocolate middle. It is a chocolate lovers dream. The cheese cake was creamy and light with its cinturón topping with fresh berries and thinly sliced green apples. We enjoyed this wonderful meal and the owner who also served us so kind . I strongly recommend this gem of a restaurant.
