    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!

    The best meal in Paris! Everything was delightful and the best steak we had on our trip. We enjoyed it all, from the onion soup to the creme brûlée was delicious.

    The staff were welcoming, the food was great but there was a heavy burnt cheese smell that it annoyed us.

    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.

    The restaurant served Traditional French food. The pâté with fig jam was excellent. They were able to accommodate my party of seven. I had the boeuf bourguignon was so tender that it melted in my mouth and was delicious. The staff was very attentive and patient with my French pronunciation. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    I am so happy that we chose to dine at Le Vieux Bistrot. The quality of the food was absolutely unmatched. The onion soup was such a flavoursome and light starter, and the beef in the beef bourguinon practically melted in your mouth and had such a rich and hearty flavour. The creme brûlée was an equally stunning way to end the meal. Nothing was too heavy and I came away absolutely satisfied without feeling bloated. I think it will be impossible to find a better authentic French restaurant here in Paris.

    We both had Beouf Bouginon which was delicious, accompanied by a bottle of Brioully followed by Tart Tatin. A very nice meal in a good bistro. We booked again for Saturday.

    This was our second visit to this bistro. It provides a diverse menu and an ample wine list. The only adverse element of this visit was a noisy group of American tourists, but the restaurant can't choose it's clients.

    High price , really low quality. They have only 5 mains and 2 of these don’t have in stock. We ask 2 beers and they have just one cold. Really terrible.

    Beautiful, rustic restaurant and its family run makes it better. We know little French, but we the people here help us from start to finish and we couldn't be more grateful. Great foods we had the charcuterie raclette for 2 person which they melt the cheese in the old way and also the roasted lamb was excellent.

    Was researching to find a great Cassoulet, settled on this place, and it was superb. Fun atmosphere, authentic. Appetizer salad was just ok, same with onion soup.

    Foundue 3 fromagges € truffe was simply one of the best cheese experiences for me until today!! The wine chosed wasn't the best, but we can complain nobody for our choise) Only 1 employee speaks english, what makes the place more local. The cheesy smell on the saloon was superb!

    What a lovely find! The food and service were excellent, we had the ‘cook your own steak’ to share for 2, it was a generous portion of meat and came with potatoes and salad. Also we went for a birthday and the staff sang happy birthday and had a candle, which was lovely! It was very very busy, so would recommend booking in advance as a lot of people were turned away. Would recommend a visit! 10/10!
