3/10Very bad attitude from the staff manager. Two consecutive bottles of wine out of stock, unbelievable for such a place. Expensive, much better price vs quality restaurants in the street nearby. At this price level, service should be perfect.

5/10The ambience and setting in the restaurant is lovely. The service was not attentive and was slightly surly. The signature dish la poulet au pot which we ordered at €98 was inedible. Three chicken of stringy chicken - so chewy and some veg. It must have cost around €6 to make. Disappointing.

4/10The restaurant per se is not bad but this is one of the worst price quality restaurants I have been in Paris. Incredibly overpriced for what it is, does not have a single wine bottle for less than 100€. The food was ok but nowhere near it should be given the prices

6/10Expected much more. Good food does not compensate for poor, inattentive rushed service. Interior is as you’d expect from a traditional long standing establishment, oozing its past from every crevice, but with an ac cranked up, despite requesting it to be turned down, we ate our meal in a uncomfortable level of cold with a cool breeze all around. We asked to move to another table but were refused. The restaurant had space, the maitre d just couldn’t be arsed. Writing of whom, he failed to fully explain that the very tasty house dish came with rice, so our fries needn’t have been ordered. Few smiles from him and his team whose couldn’t be arsed attitude followed his example. Shame, could have been so much better. Not likely to try their London location and certainly not heading back here.

6.5/10The service was terrible. Had to wait almost 40 min to get waiter. He would run away from us every 30 seconds. He had shaking hands. And a nervous tick. They didn’t provide menu in English and he didn’t want to explain the menu. They brought all food at ones.

6/10Signature chicken dish was a total disappointment. My friends eat a kind of big teabone they did not like it. Rice was delicious, onion soup was very good, profiterol wasn’t good. Service was good, waitress were good.

6/10We have been there with high expectations. The server was not good enough to tell us the right choice; there was no english menu so we were depentant on the server, yet we took the signature menu which was 85 eur per person however the starter vealpie was cold and not tasting good; our stomach hurt all the night. The secound course was ok. We believe the most delicious course was the creme brule. Since it is an expensive restaurant if we had been well assisted on the choice the experience would have been much better. An English menu is a must.

10/10We selected this restaurant from the Michelin guide because we wanted classic French cuisine. The staff were very helpful in making all of our selections. Many of the staff were fluent in English and seemed most happy to practice with us. The atmosphere was energetic and we had a lot of fun talking to the staff and trying different dishes.

10/10This restaurant is the epitome of excellent classic French food served in a beautiful dining room on silver cutlery and nice glasses. The service is impeccable, the food was excellent and the choice of wine is very large and of high quality. I highly recommend La Poule au pot .

8/10Excellent food and lovely service. The foie gras and the crème brûlée were amazing. Might not be for the faint hearted, so only go if you want traditional French cuisine.

2/10This was the worst we've had in years. What a disappointment when it comes to the quality of the service and the food. The recipe was probably really popular 400 years ago before they knew about spices like salt and how you shouldn't ever let Morell mushrooms broil to death in a weak cream sauce. I wanted to remove the star from the wall on my way out

4/10Really disappointed with this place . Totally over rated and expensive for what it is . Arrogant and inattentive manager. Chose the Pot au poule (supposedly thé signature dish) and a carafe of house wine . No deserts or entrees and still came to a whopping EU140, for a dish of chewy chicken that was no better than my late grandmothers chicken broth . Recommendation from the Michelin guide . Seriously guys , lift your game , recommending joints like this ?

10/10It was a fabulous lunch. Just the two of us. It was the best meal we had in Paris so far in our trip so we booked again for dinner the following night. Staff was welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious.

4/10Don’t waste your time with this tired restaurant. Believe all the bad reviews. The fish dish was good, but the steak so tough I could hardly cut it with the steak knife. Too many other really good places to eat. Skip it.

3/10Paid extortionate prices for 2 people for average quality food, menu in french and missed that prices were per person, tables were almost one on top of each other and service was aggressive and impolite. A tourist trap to be avoided. Paid 270 for 2 people. I still try to understand how people can get away with this

8.5/10Our experience was mixed. The tables were too close together which only added to the fact that it was simply too hot in the restaurant. We order the set meal - a mélange of crudité and the most delicious fois gras I have ever had; the signature poule au pôt which was very good; and the crème brulée which was excellent.

8.5/10Cozy and popular with a huge reputation. Everything very tasty and warm service. The star dish - chicken in a pot if very delicious. But for 48 euros per person to split 1.2 a chicken. Wow. That's very expensive.

6.5/10Actually, we were back to this restaurant because we enjoyed there the food before one year. Sadly this time wasn’t the same. We took the snails and the taste wasn’t so good and we were disappointed from the steak flambés. We told them and they said ok! That’s all. Felt like they think that they are the best without taking care what the clients feel.

7/10Underwhelming. Food subpar and not worth the price. None of the servers seemed happy to be there. French onion soup was good but not worth 20euro!

10/10This was our favorite meal over ten days in Paris. The staff was animated and helpful and the food was exquisite. The ambiance is that we sought every night in a Parisian locale.

10/10A fantastic gem in the heart of Paris! The food is classic French cuisine at its finest. They have an impressive wine selection as well, and the service is impeccable. Probably one of the best meals of our trip to Paris.

9.5/10The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The food was amazing and perfectly cooked. The options were luxurious and bountiful. We couldn’t have asked for more. We ordered the steak flambé and steak tartare. They prepare the steak tartare right in front of you and sauce the flambé at the table as well. They have an amazing and gigantic wine selection. The only lacking detail is the decor. It could use a touch up and some repair but that hardly detracted from the overall experience. Highly recommended. We try to never eat at the same place twice in Paris but we do plan to return here.

9/10Food was excellent and staff were amazing. However, the food is overpriced, especially the signature chicken. No one should have to pay that much for chicken in a pot of soup.

8/10I think I chose this restaurant because it looked like a typical bistro. It was a nice place for lunch. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I left stuffed. I forgot both how much I loved onion soup and how filling a soup it is. I’d be happy to go back for lunch.
