    Cosy place, casual affair. nice choice on menu, classic French. we had a table at 6.30 and by 7.30 place was pretty full. Nice wine selection to suit all palates and budget. Would definitely recommend and certainly make a reservation.

    This place exceeds all exceptions: outstanding food preparation, lovely and particularly warm service, and generally relaxed and welcoming vibe. The proprietor is charming and very accommodating when it comes to impoverished language skills. I'd return tomorrow night if I could.

    I don’t come to Paris often, but when I do I make sure to come to Les Bougresses. Once again it did not disappoint - the food, wine and service are excellent and it remains my favourite restaurant. I had the foie gras, beef filet and tarte tatin, all were delicious! I shall continue to share it with friends as a must when in Paris!

    The staff were amazing—helpful, welcoming, fast, willing to work in multiple languages—and the old building and eclectic decor were charming. It was pretty loud inside. The onion soup was just okay, the fois gras was lovely, and we really enjoyed our mains (chicken and veal).

    Absolutely loved this little gem. The food was fantastic!! I wasn’t sure if they would be able to accommodate my celiac diet, but they did it with ease. I enjoyed the onion soup without the bread on top, the lamb which was super flavourful and the scalloped potatoes, which were the best I’ve had! Topped that off with their fresh fruit tart with Chantilly cream, which included pomegranates - so good! Our server was very fun and he gave me a hard time about me continuing to ask if they could do a dish SANS gluten…well as us celiacs know…not every server is as astute as he obviously was. 😁 Oh and he also made us a super yummy cocktail with lime, vodka and some kind of red juice. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!!! PS don’t show up early for an 8 pm booking. They clear out the early crowd and don’t open back until 8.

    Wonderful place. Friendly, if noisy because of it, helpful and knowledgeable service, and the best food we ate in Paris so far. We will be back.

    This spot was everything we hoped for! Paris has endless dining options, but this place stood out with great reviews and repeat visitors—and now we get why. The menu is small, so while we might not return during the same trip, the meal was excellent. It’s a cozy restaurant, so reservations are a must. We had the French onion soup (good, but not our favorite of the trip), escargot (amazing—don’t skip it!), lamb chops, steak with bone marrow, ravioli (all worth an order especially the lamb and beef), and finished with the chocolate lava cake. Everything was delicious. The staff were warm and welcoming, making it the kind of charming Parisian experience you dream of. Highly recommend!

    Food was fresh and tasty. Had the onion soup, veal with pasta and hot chocolate cake with ice cream and raspberry sauce. All well prepared and most importantly tasted great. Would recommend to anyone in that area of Paris.

    This was easily our most memorable meal in Paris. We were traveling with a large group (8 people) and Lex Bougresses was able to accommodate us. The food was spectacular but at the same time it was not pretentious. Service was spot on. The ambiance was very much that of a high quality neighborhood restaurant that is sliding under the radar. Would recommend 10/10.

    The restaurant had been recommended to us by some friends in NC, and we with had dinner there with some friends who happened to be in Paris at the same time. One of them is a French teacher in the US who has been in Paris many times and knows the city very well. The food exceeded all of our expectations - from entree to dessert! It's in a tucked away spot in the Marais, with a quintessential French ambience. We highly recommend dining there if you are in Paris!
