Mademoiselle 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

This charming neighborhood restaurant is a great place to have a traditional French dinner. The Dover sole is always good, presented then deboned perfectly. Other dishes of note are the beef Bourguignon and the veal stew. Potatoes gratin make a lovely addition. The owners are welcoming and helpful. Nice wine list and we always ask them to select a Bordeaux for us.

Our server was able to speak English when our French was failing us! Her explanation of the menu in detail was a plus. The choices were varied. Everything we ate...for all 3 of us...loved it all. Fro the amuse bouche, the butternut squash soup, to the duck and the sole meunière/gratin potatoes and haricot vertes were exceptional, not to mention the tartan and the flan for dessert. This is going to be one of our go to places to bring visitors to on their vacation in Paris from now on.

Chateaubriand and Dover Sole dishes were well prepared. The chef doesn’t try to do too much with the offerings

The restaurant was very hot with rude waiter and waitresses. Seems like they dont welcome us and we waited for a very long time to take our order. Didnt realise that there was a minimum of 1 main course per person when I was making this booking and the lady boss were not happy with us saying that she held our table and had to pay €4 to The Fork for the table lmao. The food was just average and overpriced for the tiny portions. Given that we are not from France it is a culture shock for all of us. They were rude and I apologized multiple times. Funny because we pay to eat there and we still need to be treated with such attitude.

Recommended by our son and grandson who were here in March 2023. One of their favorites. Did not disappoint. Small with a local feel, in fact a number of diners appeared to be local excellent food: chateaubriand, crispy pigs feet starter, roast lamb & dark chocolate mouse with Bordeaux wine. Personable service. Tre Bien

An excellent set lunch of tabbouleh, roast guinea fowl and fennel mouselline, and tarte tatin, cheerfully and efficiently served and they popped a candle into the dessert for my mother’s birthday.

A little gem of a restaurant in the quiet and classy Paris VII. My wife and I shared a plentiful, delicious and fresh Tuna tartare on a bed of guacamole garnished with pomegranate seeds. They were out of Sole, so she opted for the John Dory, which she loved. I had the blanquette de veau, creamy without cream and very tasty. The noise level was high.

We really enjoyed our dinner. Very small, typical Parisian restaurant. Make reservations. They were accommodating a large party that looked to be about 10 people and it was cozy but it worked. The ladies working hustled yet we were not rushed, as to be again expected. The sole was fantastic. Would love to eat there again when we go back.

My wife, I, my daughter, and my grandaughter ate at Au Petit Tonneau in April 2022. We were so impressed by the food, the staff, and the ambience. The owner, Arlette Iga, made a point of talking to us and sharing her feelings about the importance of French cooking. Well, we were so impressed that last week on Feb. 22, 2024, we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Au Petit Tonneau. Madame Iga had roses waiting on our table and had made a cookie with our names on it, wishing us a happy 50th anniversary. We love this restaurant, the owner, and the staff. We will go back every time we are in Paris.

We have been going to this resaurant for a number of years when we come over for Retromobile (hence Le Tonneau to cover up a converible car!) This time inparticular it was the menu that was immaginative and one wanted everything on the list; also unusual things like pigs trotters (delicious) Our choices were simply delicious. We ended up by paying well over Euro 100 ahead which seemed a bit expensive and also the wine prices were astromonic making it a very expensive outing. What hoe we were in Paris!

Very friendly service, speak decent English. Onion soup was good, great choice of wine by glass, but the chateaubriand steak worth nearly 50€ was hard to chew. Not worth it at all. Overall average food with good service and atmosphere walking distance from Eiffel Tower

For New Years Eve couldn’t imagine a more special venue. Been dining here over 25 years and continues to be my favorite special place in Paris. Walked ten minutes after dinner to Tour Eiffel for the light show at midnight Even though the founder Janette was no longer alive the wonderful staff kept up her tradition Don’t miss this one

We took our 3 & 7 yr old here for Christmas dinner and it was great! We ordered the snails, chateaubriand boeuf and veal dish and had a unique Christmas ice cream cake delicately flavored with pears and apples with a cookie crust. The staff told us they were happy to see kids eating at restaurants like this as they are the next generation of diners.

If we had one night in Paris we would have dinner at Au Petit Tonneau. It’s an authentic French bistro with great French cuisine and ambiance. It’s our favorite bistro!
