10/10I 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.

5.5/10Artichoke 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.

8/10We’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.

10/10I 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.

4/10We 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.

10/10This restaurant was recommended and I’m so glad we visited. The service was friendly including explanations in English. My husband and I had the menu of the day and shared the two entrees and plats. I added escargot and was impressed with the sauce that was very different from the usual garlic butter. The desert was the perfect ending to a wonderful Parisian lunch. This sits on a quiet street so nice to eat outside.

10/10Very enjoyable lunch. The Monday dish was excellent starting with a lentil bacon egg salad followed by a sea bass in a delicious lobster sauce. The Pouilly Fumé paired perfectly. This was not the first time and definitely not the last time in Petit Pontoise. Thanks to the team

About the restaurant
-Le chef, présent depuis 14 ans, prépare une cuisine savoureuse inspirée des recettes de son enfance dans le Périgord
-La cuisine est préparée à la commande avec des produits frais et de qualité
-Ambiance "bistrot parisien"
-Une belle cave à vins servis en bouteille, au verre ou à la ficelle
-Un menu déjeuner à l'ardoise qui change tous les jours en fonction du marché
Tous les jours et depuis plus de 10 ans, un bouquiniste des quais de Seine vient déjeuner au Restaurant LE PETIT PONTOISE. Le chef lui prépare un plat spécialement pour lui en fonction de la cuisine avec un verre de vin ou un verre d'eau gazeuse. Il ne choisit jamais son plat mais est toujours très content des inventions du chef. Le prix de son déjeuner n'a pas varié depuis 10 ans. Il est l'âme parisienne du restaurant : il a côtoyé quelques grands noms de la chanson française et des artistes variés. Merci à lui de venir tous les jours au Petit Pontoise !
