Bistrot de Paris

Le Bistrot de Paris is a cherished institution in the heart of Saint-Germain, long frequented by writers, artists, intellectuals, and politicians. Since opening in 1965, it has embodied the charm of traditional Parisian dining with its stained-glass windows, Thonet chairs, and unmistakable Art Nouveau details. Set in a location with a culinary history dating back to 1848, the restaurant offers timeless French classics crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients. The menu features Parisian staples such as pan-seared scallops, chicken supreme, and a decadent bourbon mille-feuille, alongside the bistrot’s famed Île-de-France leeks, said to be the best in Paris. Friendly waiters in waistcoats glide between tables, reinforcing the warm, spirited atmosphere cultivated by Maxime and Dominique Paul. A true jewel of the 7th arrondissement, Le Bistrot de Paris captures the soul of old Paris with elegance and ease.
