10/10This restaurant came highly recommended as a local pure French food experience. It did stand up to its reputation and we were a table of 6 that left very pleased.

10/10The three of us really enjoyed our experience at Le Petit Vatel. The service was outstanding. The restaurant itself is an intimate setting with only a few tables. We had some nice recommendations and a lovely wine with our meal. The dishes were fresh and made with care. Everything was homemade and you can tell in the flavors of the food. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Paris, and would come back next time I am visiting!

10/10The restaurant is cozy. We appreciated the server explaining the menu and offering suggestions. The food itself was delicious. We had the skate wing and pork roast. For dessert, the chocolate fondant was rich, buttery, and oh, so chocolatey.

Thanx a lot for all those kind words.. We were pleased to meet you. See you soon for your next "trip" in Paris

5.5/10A tiny restaurant with an ebullient proprietress . The food as ok , very good boudin noir. I reserved for 9:00 and although I was a few minutes late, there was no table for me . I waited with little standing room and was seated and had my order taken at 10.01 . I appreciate it is a very small room but shouldn’t accept The Fork reservations if it can’t manage .

Charming restaurant with excellent food and the service was fantastic. Incredibly friendly staff and we couldn’t have asked for a better first night in Paris experience. Everything we ate was so good!

6.5/10I WISH it were better. Wanted it to be so. The steak was TOUGH and neither of us could eat it. Not to be rude we did not comment but the service was lovely. The wine was good as was the coffee and the chocolate fondant dessert!!! Unfortunately I would not return and the reviews I read were so good but to me not evident.

7.5/10We were a bit surprised at the "petit-ness" of the restaurant but decided that it was like sitting in a family dining room but without knowing the person next to you. The tables were literally next to each other. The server greeted us warmly and explained the menu very well. My husband's meal was perfect. My pork dish was delicious but about 50% fat and unedible except for the veggies. The 2 desserts we had were wonderful. The prices were very reasonable.

10/10추천 받아서 먹은 메뉴 전부 다 넘 맛있었어요! 원래 프랑스 음식 안 좋아하는데 여기는 많이 안 짜고 맛있더라구요. 현지인들 많이 오는 것 같고 가게는 작지만 음식은 맛있어서 기회 되면 또 가고 싶어요. 더 포크로 미리 예약해서 갔는데 예약하면서 생일이라고 했더니 케이크도 서비스로 주셨어요. 다시 한 번 더 감사했습니다❤️ Every menu that recommended was good! Actaully i don't like french but all menu was tasty here. It's seem like many locals come here and the resturant is small but the menu was excellent, so i also wanna come again next time. I made reservation in the fork app and when i made reservation i said it was my bday. And they gave me a brownie as a service. Merci again!

10/10This was so good! It was recommended by a friend who lived in an apartment above it in 1973. It’s been there for a long, long time. Intimate dining, fabulous food. If you can get a seat, bon appetit!!
