    Food and ambient were great! The waiter, Nuno Fernandes, gave us a very professional and entertaining welcome. We’d like to thank him for the way he looked after us, which really added to our birthday celebration. It was nice to find a fellow countryman in the middle of Paris, receiving us in the Bistrot de Fables.

    This restaurant from a protégé of Christian constant was lovely tonight. I had the clams and muscles gratinee and the veal blanquette. This inspired me to make these when I get home to San Francisco. Over 20 years ago, I went to a couple of Christian Constant’s restaurants. He has wonderful legacy with the chef’s cooking today.

    Bistrot des Fables

    Many thanks for sharing this. It means a lot that the evening brought back fond memories of Christian Constant’s restaurants, and that you felt that spirit in our cooking today. We’re thrilled you loved both the starters and the blanquette. Kind regards, Le Bistrot des Fables

    We got to sit downstairs by the bar and it was a great atmosphere. Our waiter was very nice and accommodated our English-only table. The food was excellent and the drinks were equally tasty. I hopped online to snag a last minute reservation. This was is worth planning a visit!

    Bistrot des Fables

    Many thanks for your review. We’re happy you got a table near the bar and had a great time, and we’re glad the team looked after you in English. Wonderful to hear the meal and cocktails/wines hit the spot. Kind regards, Le Bistrot des Fables

    We visited Bistrot des Fables as it has a bib gormand rating in Michelin. . The duck breast salad starter was deliceous but the mains failed to impress especially the blanquet de veau which was tastless. The scallops were a better choice but were not cooked optimally. The restaurant seemed to be surprised to be asked for a cheese plate and the quality offered was surprisingly poor. Service was good and the waitrons were helpful

    Bistrot des Fables

    Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re pleased the duck breast salad starter and the service worked for you, but we sincerely apologize that the blanquette de veau felt tasteless, the scallops weren’t at their best, and the cheese plate came as a surprise and didn’t meet expectations. We’ve reviewed seasoning on the blanquette, scallop timing/temperature, and how we present and source our cheese selection. If you’re open to it, please contact the manager so we can follow up properly and offer a solution. Kind regards, Le Bistrot des Fables

    This is a very good bistrot located near the Champs de Mars and The Eiffel Tower. The bistrot offers a large selection of classic enteés and plats. We had the delicious onion soup for our enttreés, and the veau planchards and the magret du canard as plats, both of which well prepared and delicious. The serious was friendly and professional. Our only complaint is the tables are set very tight, but then this is a bistrot.

    Bistrot des Fables

    Thank you for visiting and for the detailed feedback. We’re thrilled that the classics worked for you onion soup as an entrée, then veal and duck magret and that the service felt friendly and professional. We appreciate your note about the tight table layout; you are right it's part of the traditional bistro style, but we always do our best to accommodate preferences. On your next visit, please ask for a roomier corner or earlier seating we’ll be happy to arrange it whenever possible. Kind regards, Le Bistrot des Fables

    Good salad starter and decent French onion soup. Roasted duck breast was solid but the croque monsieur was awful. Ok wines by the glass. Probably on par for the restaurants in the vicinity.

    Bistrot des Fables

    Thank you for sharing your experience great to hear the salad starter, French onion soup and duck breast worked for you, and thanks for the note on wines by the glass. We’re sorry the croque monsieur missed the mark. We would have gladly remade it during your meal; we’re tightening up the toast, gratin and filling balance with the team. If you return, please ask for the manager so we can make it right. Kind regards, Le Bistrot des Fables
