Owner came to our table and walked through all the wonderful entrees. Our family of 5 each ordered something different and it was outstanding!!

Staff was friendly and helpful. I felt like this was a family restaurant and we were included. My husband was thrilled by the shortbreads and his classical veal stew. My rack of lamb was fabulous and if I was at home I would have picked up the ribs and eaten them with my hands. Then came desert which was so satisfying. Our plans are to go back for dinner there next year. Lovely place!

The Dover Sole, Veal Blanquette and Tart Tatin were excellent. The atmosphere is welcoming and homey. A great spot.

The service was generally attentive. The price of the food for what you received was too high. Everything tasted a day old. The chateaubriand was tuff, the lamb was very chewy. The salad was excellent! The chocolate mouse also tasted old. The white Bordeaux was great also. I can not recommend your restaurant to friends .

We had a delicious dinner with warm and wonderful service. It is 100 years old …a Paris treasure! Great location, tucked away in the heart of the 7th. We look forward to returning.

Au Petit Tonneau is our favorite restaurant in Paris. The owner, Arlette Iga, is a gifted proponent of traditional French cooking. The restaurant is family friendly: we’ve brought all our children and grandchildren. We come back every year.

This is second visit in 4 years but we first found out about this wonderful neighborhood restaurant 15 years ago from a family member. Friendly service, fine ambiance that allows diners to speak as a family would, without the noise drowning out our conversation or that horribly echo from high ceilings and harsh furnishings. No loud background music. Food is classic French with a twist here and there. We both had fish on this night and cooked to perfection. So many very good chefs cannot cook fish properly day in and day out but at Petite Tonneau it is always perfect. Fine desserts and finish with a perfectly balanced Irish coffee of all things. Book well in advance and enjoy a family restaurant. We will come back every time in Paris when we need Classic French fare.

A very welcoming atmosphere, a restaurant run by owners and staff who really care about your experience. The restaurant is small but cosy with a great menu of classic French recipes. Meal was perfectly prepared and served promptly. A small but adequate wine list to compliment your meal. Well worth a try ic you are in the area.
