Food is simple and very tasty. The owner is clearly very passionate about his food and eager to share it - he goes into great detail, which is a delight. Space if warm amd cosy.

Superb, friendly, interesting place. Food was amazing and the host and chef were tremendous. We’ve been to the Basque area many times, so it was wonderful to have this authentic experience with really genuine people in the heart of Paris. It was full of locals so definitely best to book. We will 100% go back next time we are in Paris.

Our meal was a supremely delicious and our experience was an absolute delight. From the minute we walked in, we felt welcome. The owner, Patrice, is the quintessential host and makes you feel like you’re dining in his home. I will recommend Bodego Pixtola to everyone who visits Paris who is in search of a joyous meal and/or authentic dishes from the Basque region.

As Spaniard, I didn’t enjoy the food because, first of all, the waiter tried to sell a 2€ and very low quality wine bottle (Don Simon brand) for 24€. Second of all, he manifested his food was Basque (from the north of Spain) and the Chistorra was as dry as Christ feet, and the chipirons tasted like plastic. Thanks God they, at least, had Mahou (Madrid’s local beer).

Perfect service. Patrice was super nice, and even though we didn’t speak French or Spanish, he showed us the kitchen and everything, so we were sustain about what we ordered. Amazing place and we will definitely return, when we visit Paris again.

Having been to Spain several times, we were looking for authentic Spanish tapas during our stay in Paris and Bodega Potxolo hit the spot! The owner and his daughter were extremely welcoming and provided excellent service, and the restaurant has a fun, vibrant atmosphere. We enjoyed the sardines, chicken pinchos, piquillo peppers and meatballs, which paired perfectly with the house red wine. Would definitely return to dine again!
