2/10When we arrived at the restaurant and showed my phone with our 19:00 hour reservation we were told it was impossible as they do not take evening reservations through The Fork…yet there it was!!! Since everything was full we ended up going to grocery store to buy supplies to make sandwiches. Fortunately our evening was saved by the delicious desserts we purchased earlier in the day at La Croix!!!!

9.5/10Saw this restaurant on a travel video, and it was recommended as the restaurant having the best boeuf bourgignon in Paris. I did not have a frame of reference to personally compare it with, but can definitely say that it was amazing. The ambience was great, and the service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

10/10We reserved a table for 2 at 1pm 8/12/24 but arrived an hour early & we were not turned away. The restaurant feels really homy, seating is a little too tight. We ordered the bone marrow as appetizer & thought it was really good. The Beef Bourguignon in this place, melts in your mouthis the best & was really really delicious

10/10I don’t want to say “hidden gem” or else everyone will come and then it will no longer be hidden. But without a doubt hidden gem it is. All fantasies fulfilled about exquisite French dining —and with an extremely reasonable price. Can’t wait to go back.

10/10This place was everything you want in a traditional French Bistro. The staff were very kind and attentive, the food was perfection. If you've never had bone marrow before I urge you to give it a try. Husband said the Onion Soup gratinee was worth traveling 4000 miles for. The main courses were exquisite, kidneys for him, sea breem for me. We asked for a cote du rhone to go with the meal and the one our server presented was perfect. We were so exhausted from traveling that we decided to forego dessert, but they looked fabulous and I'm sure would have been superb, we're going back to find out. The playlist was all Blues and Jazz, the setting was cozy, comfortable and welcoming.

Chez Fernand Christine is a culinary gem that truly captivates the senses. From the moment the meal began with the exquisitely rich onion soup, each dish exemplified the art of French cuisine. The depth of flavor in the bone marrow was nothing short of divine, serving as a perfect precursor to the star of the show: the beef bourguignon. Tender, succulent, and enveloped in a luxurious sauce, it transported me straight to the heart of France. To round off this gastronomic journey, the crème brûlée was simply sublime—its beautifully caramelized top gave way to a velvety, smooth custard that lingered on the palate. Every aspect of the meal was a harmonious celebration of taste and technique. At Chez Fernand Christine, everything is delicious, making it an unforgettable dining experience.

8.5/10Very good traditional French cuisine, with good prices at charming little place, very well located. Air conditioning never works though. It gets too hot and claustrofobic. Try to be close to the door.

10/10This was our first restaurant in Paris and it did not disappoint. We found it through a recommendation from The Frenchies. The atmosphere was quaint Parisian. It felt like we were eating in our grandmothers house. The service was pleasant. Everyone spoke some English and the dishes were described for us so we could understand. The food was incredible. I had steak and fries which tender and flavorful. I did learn that you need to order your meat a bit more cooked than normal. Med rare was very rare. My husband had their signature dish - beef bourginon which he is still talking about. It was not a heavy dish but light and flavorful and very tender!! We split the crème caramel for dessert which was creamy and just the right sweetness. I would put on the top of my repeat list and go again when in Paris!!! Enjoy!

10/10Absolutely wonderful meal that hit all the right notes. Service friendly, professional and efficient. Appetizers- butternut squash soup and escargot spot on. Boeuf bourgignon absolutely delicious. Accompanied by house St. Emilion which was perfect. Tarte tatin very nice. Finished with a chartreuse and limoncello. Do not miss. Make sure you reserve.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Very popular so reservations way in advance are recommended. It is small and intimate with a warm welcoming staff, great food, and an amazing selection of wines.

10/10Wow! We had such a wonderful evening. Sam could not have done more from the recommendations to the banter. The food was brought quickly and every dish, particularly the boeuf borgignon, was delicious. Amazing selection of wines which was talked over. Will definitely return when next in Paris

9.5/10Amazing food, a very traditional French restaurant in small charming place, well located near quartier latin. Waiters are very friendly. It has a very good and big wine list. Tables are tight and place a bit warm due to lack of ventilation though. Worth a visit!

10/10
Hands down the best meal we’ve ever had in our lives. Not even exaggerating. For starters we had the escargot which was phenomenal. For main course, I had the beef bourguignon and it was the best, most mouth-melting beef I have ever had, and my partner had the Angus steak frite, which he said was the best steak he’s ever had, and I would have to say, me too. This experience was the perfect dinner to end our Paris trip, and this restaurant will always be memorable to us.
