10/10Our dinner at Au Petit Tonneau was our best meal from our two weeks in France. Quiet and simple surroundings, white tablecloths and flowers were the perfect backdrop for phenomenal meal and service.

10/10Staff 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!

10/10The Dover Sole, Veal Blanquette and Tart Tatin were excellent. The atmosphere is welcoming and homey. A great spot.

7/10The 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 .

10/10We 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.

10/10Au 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.

10/10This 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.

10/10A 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.

This is not our first visit to the restaurant, we have been frequenting the place since 2019, every time we pass by Paris. The authenticity and creativity of the chef(s) is amazing. Food is delicious, the wine selection is encompassing and the deserts are amazing. I guess that accompanied with service with a smile brings back happy customers. Thank you and keep the great work.

We had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent—we ordered the beef Chateaubriand, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender, as well as the Noix de Coquille Saint Jacques, which was absolutely delicious. The service was efficient, making the meal even more enjoyable. A great spot for a quality meal—we highly recommend it!

10/10I recently organised a dinner for a group of nine visiting Paris, and this restaurant exceeded all expectations. The food was excellent, with every dish beautifully prepared and full of flavour. The service was outstanding—attentive, professional, and very welcoming. They spoke English fluently, making the experience seamless for our group. Everything was perfect, from the atmosphere to the attention to detail. Highly recommend!

10/10We loved the warm, home-like atmosphere of this restaurant. The food was excellent, with a standout dessert "Tarte Tatin" that was both rich and not overly sweet. Highly recommend!

2/10
The service was very very poor and we can feel the racism in this restaurant. We’re Filipino couple who have been working in Singapore. The owner of this restaurant was very rude… We arrived at the restaurant 15mins early but we asked if it was okay to come in early as our booking time is 15mins.earlier and she said Ok. She gave us the table next to toilet. But there’s available table for two not near the toilet. And it’s not dollhouse . And she told us that the front area had been reserved for other guests. I thought that’s first come first served as we booked earlier .

10/10Mademoiselle Monica, the Madame (didn't get her name) the sous chef, and of course the chef. Monica and the Madame catered to our every need, including letting us sit outside under an umbrella in the sprinkling rain. The Chateaubriand was superb and the wine sublime. It was a night to be remembered. Thank you Au Petit Tonneau
