Le Petit Bistrot was exactly what we were looking for. Calm and cozy atmosphere, smiling and responsive staff, professional and fast service, excellent cuisine with typical local dishes and nice music. Thank you for the warm welcome and delicious meals!

Our sixth dinner here in two years. Despite being on a busy tourist street and offering the standard bistro dishes from a laminated menu, we keep returning for our favorite confit de canard in all of Paris , served with a side of extraordinary potatoes that are best likened to potato chips on steroids dusted with a mere suggestion of garlic and parsley. The escargot is a definitive rendition of the classic preparation and the beef carpaccio is excellent. We spend three months a year in Paris, doing some serious eating and for our taste, the integrity and authenticity of this place is hard to beat. Family owned and operated with delightful gracious service, extremely well priced offerings and a no frills but delicious wine list, we wish we had found it sooner.

We made a late reservation for 6 and thought it might be an issue, but the restaurant was wonderful, cozy and perfect for our dinner. The food was outstanding - a true French restaurant - and we would love to return in the future.

I made a reservation in advance, which was very easy on their website. We were taken right to our table when we walked in. Although I spoke a bit of French, the staff mostly spoke English as well and were very nice. The menu was great, with great prices. The food was great, especially the soupe à l’oignon! They had an a la carte menu, and also a set menu with starter and main course and dessert for a great price! This was our first night in Paris and this restaurant set the bar high. It did not disappoint.

Authentic great tasting French bistro with great service. A wonderfully warm welcome from Efi and we were quickly seated in the window overlooking Rue Mouffetard (situated in the fifth arrondissement of Paris - one of Paris's oldest and liveliest neighbourhoods (that also has the most amazing fresh fruit, seafood, meat, cheeses). The menu is in both French and English and Efi is fluent in English which meant all our questions were answered and she assisted in our menu selections. Fresh baguette slices were complimentary and the perfect start to our evening. We shared a Panache de salade aux lardons et oeuf poche (mixed salad with bacon and poached egg) for starter – fresh, delicious and a generous portion. For main course my husband had the Confit de canard, pommes sautees (duck confit, fried potatoes) which was the best he has ever eaten – perfectly cooked and so exquisite. I had the entrecote grille sauce au choix (steak which I had with bearnaise sauce) which was excellent with a very tasty bearnaise sauce. Drinks were really well priced. We had a bottle of Cotes du Rhone 2020 red wine which was a good accompaniment to our meal. Service really made our night wonderful too – with the warmth, attentiveness and professionalism of Efi. Thanks Efi, our first night in Paris! We’ll be back!

It's hard to say what made this restaurant special, was it the food and wine, or was it the staff? I wish I knew the names of the people who served us, but it was a memorable experience because of them. I typically don't like to mention price but this was top-notch for a small tab. The wine, St.-Estephe, was very good.

In this little restaurant we met French cuisine for the first time and we are happy with it! the service was super. Hospitality, care and friendliness of the staff, simply perfect, congratulations! We particularly liked the fish, escargot, typical cheeses, tartare and creme brulee. Simple serving of main courses but really good. The price with the formula of the complete menu is excellent. We could have spent a little more and been equally satisfied. Highly recommended!
