The food was AMAZING, I had the vegetarian vegetable grating and it was layered perfectly with the right amount of cheese potatoes and veggies. Everything came together in a delightful bed of toppings covered with a crispy cheese topping that added so much texture to the dish. The service was also great, our server was really attentive and was going a great job taking care of not only us but the other table as well. The ambiance was relaxing, this was defect for our last Night in Paris, next time we come around this will be a definite stop. read more

A quaint place with all the tables packed in next to each other so you can be very intimate with your neighbors. Salmon was very good as well as the goat cheese. Salad was as plain as possible. The gratin dish was very tasty, although the anchovies were a little overpowering read more

This was probably our favorite meal we've ever had.. ever! We head back to America soon and will be dreaming of this until we go back one day. So incredible! read more

We stopped here our first night in Paris because it was well reviewed and close to our hotel. We shared a salmon appetizer and each of us ordered one of the gratins that are the house specialty. The salmon was a generous serving and the gratins were delightful. All paired with a half carafe of Sancerre. Wonderful service. As we were leaving it was getting later and the tourists were being replaced at the tables with locals, always a good sign! read more

We stopped here after a long day of travel and exploring around 11pm. They graciously served us dinner. The gratin with duck was phenomenal and warm. Salad to accompany our meal we were sharing. They gave us a few samples of cheese as we were not sure about the Roquefort cheese. The apples and cheese paired perfectly. Super cute, cozy bistro worth stopping in! They also had a full bar. read more

We found this place by accident and I am so glad we did. This was the BEST meal we have had while in Paris. If I would have known about this place before I would have gone a couple more times, it is that good. It's a small family run business so make a reservation because it can get busy but if you have to wait...WAIT!!!! I had the gratin dish with bacon and eggs and it was phenomenal. I don't know what else to say but it was awesome!!!! My wife got the chicken gratin and she said hers was delicious too!!! We also got their Italian salads which had fresh mozzarella and tomatoes and that was really good too. But for sure their gratin dishes are their specialty so I would just chose one of those. We also got their chocolate cake and two cafe americanos and it was great. When we come back to France we will come here for sure again!!!! read more

This is always my favorite place to dine in when I am in town. As usual, I came by after visiting Norte Dame. It was around 1:45pm. When I came in, the server told me that I had to sit outside because I did not have reservation (there were 2 tables opened, and 2 other tables were leaving). They provided blanket, but it was very cold that the blanket would not help. There was a pair of couple arrived after me, who had the same situation, and they were sat outside (we occupied all the tables outside). Guess what, there were 4 groups entered the restaurant, and they were all sat inside (I overheard that 2 groups did not have reservations). This is unfair as it was freezing without heat lamp, and my food got cold soon after it was served. The food tasted good as usual, but I was not happy with my experience. read more

We sat at a table for over 30 minutes and the waiter would not come to take our order. I went to ask the waiter if he would please come take our order and he said yes. Another 10 minutes passed and he still did not come to the table. We finally left. They say some restaurants simply wait until Americans leave rather than serve them, which I assumed was a myth. I guess it's true of some places. read more

What a surprise to find this great place so near our apartment. The gratins were awesome!

Got the gratin chaude and boy is it a piping hot dish! It was red hot when you first bite into it so be careful or you'll burn your tongue. After that, the richness will come through and warm you right up. Our hostess and server was very friendly. It's a smaller dining area so you may make a new friend you sit next to! read more

The Landais was absolutely divine. First meal of our honeymoon and I want to go no where else!

Great location and classic food. They are known, and mostly have, a wide selection of gratin. If you are lactose intolerant, bring lots of lactaid! It's a delicious potato and cream dish. I was very happy with mine that included lots of bacon. The cocktails were generously portioned and extremely refreshing. The location is near the Notre Dame and had a nice street view of the city. I would definitely recommend this to friend and family. Just make a reservation ahead of time by calling or going on TheFork! read more

This French bistro serves up hot bowls of potato gratin in different variations. The flavors are great and the food is served hot and fresh. Typical of French restaurants, seating is limited but everyone is accommodating. People still smoke in France so expect to experience second hand smoke. It is a little off putting for Americans as smoking is illegal in almost every restaurant. read more

You cannot beat this spot for food, drinks, and a view. We were recommended by a friend and stopped in around 6pm. We didn't have a wait for an outdoor table, but the indoor was full. We enjoyed some drinks while we waited on our gratin chaude. I got the Bistro one and my husband got the one with duck and goat cheese. They were both SO good. I ate the entire thing, no problem. We absolutely will come back! read more

They are known for their gratin and they sure make it homely well! It went hand in hand with the choice of meat and wine! I adored the smoked salmon and duck as the choice of meats with the melted gratin! What made it even more special was the oozing egg topped on the dish! Both were comfort food and do order wine with it, which makes it a complimenting superb meal! Baking hot and savory swell! French waiter said bonjour at the door and I didn't hear him and he said it again and then I said it back. He gave me a bit of spunk when I didn't say it back the first time around. The character of the culture may have something to do with it. Maybe. Other than that, I admired the warm ambiance and lovely gratin! read more

Thanks to Yelp, we journeyed here while in Paris (my brother, his girlfriend, the hubby and I). When we arrived, the restaurant was full, so we had to wait outside. It was chilly outside, but blankets were provided (how cute!). We didn't wait long before a table became available. If you are familiar with my other reviews, then you know...I like to have a fun. Of course, drinking is NOT required to have fun, but also drinking IS fun! So, we started with a bottle of wine and a meat and cheese charcuterie board. The charcuterie board was great! In between bottles (several), we got shots. Just in case you are wondering, our night ended shortly after dinner due to the devil's juice aka alcohol! For our entrees, I got the Fermier Gratin (Chicken, cream, potatoes, veggies, etc. My dish was the best dish! My family all agreed. All the rest of my family ordered the duck gratin (pretty lame that all three of them got the same thing, but whatever). They liked their dishes okay, but much preferred mine. I liked everything about this quaint restaurant and definitely recommend. read more

Had a very nice dinner for three on a Saturday evening. Enjoyed our entrees, and clean plates all around. We all left happy!

We came here because everyone on yelp rated it number 1. We got a reservation ahead of time, as you should because it gets very busy. My dish was very good, exactly as I expected. The potato base was very strong, but there were plenty of other flavors to complement it. The cheese here is great. Other than that, I really don't have much to say. The portion size was pretty big, and I left a happy diner. read more

Bistro des Augustins - our food - potatoes and chicken with cheese - Bistros Near Me - Paris, 75

This is definitely one of those spots that I guess you have to try while in Paris. You can tell that this place has been here for a very long time. It probably looks the same as it did when it first opened whenever that was. This place screams nostalgia for sure. The service was a hit and a miss, but the server was very friendly. If you ask her for her recommendation, she's going to tell you "Well everything is good on the menu." Anywho, ordered the one with duck, because in France, you gotta try something with duck, am I right? Well, the dish didn't impress, don't get me wrong, it was good, but it wasn't all that. They definitely skimped on the duck portion. It was definitely lost among the cheese and potatoes. Again, while in Paris, I guess this place is a must try. There were plenty of locals, but more tourists than anything. read more

Pre-COVID review: After a day of exploring the Notre Dame Cathedral and its surrounding area, we had a late dinner at Bistro des Augustins. It's a small café and we were one of several tables squeezed together in the space outside the café. After trying their food, I'm not sure I understand their high Yelp rating. We ordered the landais gratin (potatoes, cream, egg, goat cheese, duck breast, garlic) and provencale (cooked ham, cheese, tomatoes, anchovy) served over green salad and tomatoes. We waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our food. The provencale was quite salty due to the anchovy and the landais was filling and tasted okay. Definitely one of our more low cost meals, but the wait wasn't worth it. read more

Small place, make sure to get a reservation. Amazing service and food! So good. Nice location by the Seine. The waiter spoke English.

Le Bistrot des Augustins was one of the restaurants I bookmarked before arriving in Paris. It looked like a hearty lunch, perfect for a packed day. Which is exactly how it happened. After a long morning walking around, we stopped here for a late lunch. The few tables outside were already occupied, but some tables inside were available. The inside is actually quite dark and very tight. But that's Paris for ya. There are only two ladies working the entire shop, from service to cooking to pouring to cleaning up. They do an amazing job! Of course we go for the gratin. It takes a while to make but it's worth the wait. If you sit inside, you can actually watch them make it. They sure put quite a bit of chicken and veggies in there! Can't complain. The result is as delicious as you can imagine meat and veggies smothered in cream and cheese, then cooked till bubbling can be. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE - RUN RUN RUN I selected this place based on good reviews and convenient location between our points of interest. Visiting Paris with my 75 yr old mom (who can only walk 15 mins max) - I had to do a very careful planning of the route combining taxis/walking/restaurants. We came to EMPTY restaurant with 7 tables outside - all but 1 outdoor table taken. The young waitress told me in a very unfriendly way, that they are fully booked and we can only sit outside IF there is a space. I told mom to sit down, got us some drinks before we form some other dining backup plan. I could not resist seeing the empty = ?fully booked? restaurant and tried to make a reservation online - which I was able to do immediately within 15 mins later booking time. I came back inside showed the waitress our reservation and asked if early seating is possible as my mom was getting little overheated....and the restaurant was still EMPTY. NO was an answer - so at that point I didn't want to end up with spit in my food and asked for a check for our drinks which I paid in full. I took picture of the restaurant to later write a review - which resulted into the waitress running out of the restaurant and yelling at us "we have your name, we have your contact info"..... OMG - this is the Mount Everest of HOSPITALITY I wish this young lady when she is taking HER mom for the trip of her mom's lifetime - not to be treated this way. read more

Talk about a hole in the wall that is a hidden jewel this is it. At first glance you might look away but you'd only be cheating yourself. It's small, it holds about twenty four people inside with an additional half dozen outside. One downside is I always heard about the surly waiters in France and this guy couldn't have been nicer. You sit so close to other patrons that it's almost impossible to not get in a conversation with them, I enjoyed that. But the food, oh la la manifique, it was spectacular for such a simple dish but it's all made to order so it may take twenty minutes plus but it comes out really really hot so be careful. Overall this place is just a pleasant experience top to bottom and it's super inexpensive just 10-12 euros a meal. With a glass of wine each we got out for less than 30 euros. Don't miss this place! read more
