This is a hidden gem. The food was excellent, and it was a great place to people watch as I think we were the only Americans. Very authentic, attentive service, delicious meal. We were there for lunch and got the daily menu, everything was great.

We went to Le Petite Pontoise last night. Their escargots with mushrooms, duck confit with foie gras, roasted sea bass are excellent, but not for their crème brûlée. They gave us an overcooked & burnt crème brûlée & gave a perfect one to the table that was next to us. I made crème brûlée so many times & my mom thinks their crème brûlée was overcooked & wasn’t smooth as what I was expected. A good crème brûlée should be cooked with vanilla bean, but this restaurant only use vanilla extract to make crème brûlée & charged 10€… 😤

I have been here before on previous trips and was pleased to experience once again the same high level of friendly service and an excellent meal. It is the one restaurant in Paris I always like to return to.

Artichoke tarte and ravioli were excellent. The entrcote was fatty and grisly. The crème brûlée was cold in the middle. The wait staff was friendly until I questioned a charge for sparking water (which we did not order) on our tab and asked for it to be removed. The waiter said he would remove it then came back to the table saying he didn’t remove it because his coworker remembered us ordering it. I have GERD, so know for certain we did not order sparkling water because I could not have drank it. Nevertheless he would not remove the 8euro charge for water and his coworker came out from the kitchen holding up two empty bottles saying they both were ours. I refused to pay and he finally removed the charge. All this time my husband was in the restroom. When I told him what had happened with the waitress making a scene with the empty bottles, he went to her and confirmed we did not order sparkling/gas water. She said, “it’s okay. I won’t charge you for it,” still imlpying we had ordered it. Very upsetting and embarrassing. Will not return nor recommend.

We’ve been coming here for years when we visit Paris. Menu hasn’t changed much—which is good and bad. Service was a bit rushed. We weren’t told about the daily fish special. But the sea bream and monkfish were excellent, as were the escargots. Chocolate fondant was good, as expected, nothing special.

I love this restaurant. I go again and again for the warmest service and the gorgeous food. Tonight we had the pork cheeks and they melted in my mouth. A lovely hearty winter meal with a bottle of Sancerre. This is Paris life.

We were here on our last trip to Paris 5 years ago and it was wonderful but this is not the same restaurant as before. First course off the menu was fine but we ordered the ribeye steak daily special and it was awful! It was dry, tough and grossly, obviously a cheap cut of beef passed off as a steak with brown gravy and mediocre mashed potatoes. Do not eat here.
