    We were a party of six and wanted a traditional French restaurant with hearty food and a great atmosphere, and that is exactly what we got! The food was delicious, as was the wine. We particularly enjoyed the Raclette, it is a must! The place was packed out, with customers waiting outside for available tables. We had booked ahead to secure our table. At no point did we feel rushed with our meal. Would definitely recommend!

    Le Vieux Bistrot was a lovely restaurant. It is small but with an inviting atmosphere. We came for the beef bourguignon and it did not disappoint. I had the shrimp scampi and it also did not disappoint. I suggest a reservation as there are only a dozen or so tables.

    We had a great time trying raclette for the first time! The owners were very nice and patient with us. The food was tasty with generous portions that we took home for another delicious meal.

    The 5th district is probably one of the must visit while your stay at Paris. The food at Le Vieux Bistror is all worth it. Fondue and Raclette are simply great.

    We had a lovely dinner on our first night in Paris. The cheese fondue was enough for more than two. The garlic shrimp were wonderful with the sauce you would love to have a spoon to finish the bowl!

    Really nice restaurant with great French atmosphere! The pierrade was great and the meat very tender. The soup a l'oignon was lacking cheese but flavourful overall. Would recommend to a friend

    Boeuf Bourgignon was tender and delicious. Duck confit was fantastic. We would certainly return - and order the fondue which seemed very popular.

    Its a very small and cozy restaurant, with very nice service and good food. It is not intended for big groups as it is a very small place, but the service is very good. When you enter the restaurant has a specific smell like strong cheese, so in case someone doesnt like this it may be a bit difficult to be there, but if you like it you get used to it very soon and enjoy the magic of fondue, raclette and other nice dishes. We ate fondue, confit de canard, onion soup, snails, we also had a good recommendation for wine so we enjoyed.
