    Had to come for their world-famous steak au poivre. Online reservation is not available and you must call them directly to book a dining slot. Since I can't speak French, I asked our hotel concierge to help us with making a reservation about a month ahead. We went for lunch and we were seated by the window. Loved our table but the only way for the inside people to get out to go to the bathroom or something was to move the entire table, which made it a bit tricky. But heck, we're here for their steak and frites! And we ordered their smaller sized steak with fries that was part of their lunch combo as well as one order of their original steak au poivre. They both used the same amazing pepper sauce but the cut of the meat was slightly different. We ordered the meat medium and the meat was very tender. The steak itself was not the type where it melts in your mouth good but I think the star of this dish is their amazing pepper sauce. Man, I ended up licking the plate in the end. It was so good. The appetizers and the desserts were also good but really, the pepper sauce is what you come here for. I am definitely coming back. For that sauce.

    Bistrot Paul Bert serves my favorite steak au poivre--anywhere. A perfectly cooked, juicy, tender cut of beef with just the right amount of cracked pepper and that luscious, creamy sauce... I'm literally dreaming about it as I write this. I need to go back soon. Hubby ordered the steak tartare, which came with crispy fries and a simple green salad -- classic, no-nonsense, and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and efficient, the kind of old-school Parisian hospitality that's warm without fuss. Now, fair warning: they don't answer their phone, and getting a reservation can be tricky. But if you show up right when they open on a weekday, you might just snag a table -- that's what we did. It's a little out of the way, but trust me, it's worth every minute (and every euro of the taxi ride). Our total came to around USD 120, and the bill came with a couple of adorable little canelés on the house. A perfect Parisian meal from start to finish.

    I tried to call probably for a whole week to make reservation as the website said, no one ever picked up. Decided to just come on a Saturday noon when they first open, it seems like several outdoor seats were kept for walk-ins so we were able to sit outdoor, it was nice out so it worked out. Literally came for the steak, it was slightly more raw than my usual go to but it was delivered perfect, sauce was great as well. My favorite might be the fries, it was crispy yet soft inside. Almost finished the whole plate! Although quite expensive but lives up the hype, it sort of becomes more of a tourist spot but oh well! Gotta be good to be on international map.

    Wonderful steak au poivre for lunch. Service was excellent. Sitting on the sidewalk in Paris could be worse.

    Quintessential steak Au poivre! I come just for that but am always impressed by everything. The pork chop on the menu was also out of the world good. The artichoke starter was also good and the eggs and morel was special. Service is friendly and English speaking. Atmosphere is charming bistro.

    We did not have a reservation but came extra early before opening to get a table. The extra tables are outside only. It was raining so not all the tables could be used. You will have to line up outside the restaurant if you want to snag a table. Reservations can be made by phone but my American phone wouldn't go through. We sat outside and it wasn't too cold. Our table was tiny and right by a bush. We waited for almost an hour before our order was taken. I was very hungry. The menu is very interesting but I came specifically for the steak au poivre. It's expensive, about $60 usd. But honestly the best steak of my life. I would buy again. The steak is tender and cooked to perfection. The sauce is peppery and rich. It's absolutely perfect. My friend only got fries and asked for a condiment. They do not have ketchup or anything, only aioli. The fires were 7 euro and the sauce was a whopping 10 euro. Biggest ripoff ever. I felt so bad because she had no idea and our waiter didn't tell us. He was very nice though. I would definitely come back with preferably with a reservation.

    Came for lunch. We had tartare and terrine and one narrow. The food was ok. Very basic and homey food. The restaurant was busy at lunch. Service was ok, very basic.

    This was on my husbands list of places to try in Paris. We didn't have a reservation, the place was packed, but we were still able to be sat within about 10 minutes. The steak and sauce was pretty good. Fries were super fresh and hot. We didn't order a dessert that they forgot but no big deal.

    Scallops with butter, herbs and coco beans. Seemed like an odd combo but was divine!

    Per usual, this restaurant did not let us down! Everything was scrumptious! The oefs with mayonnaise and caviar I'll be dreaming about for the next 10 months. The beef with pepper sauce? I've died and gone to heaven! Make sure you drag your fries through the sauce. It's a perfect balance of flavors, and the pepper isn't too peppery, IYKYK. YUMMMMMM.

    Bistrot Paul Bert is well known to tourists and was been extensively reviewed. We had a 7:30 reservation when the restaurant opened and were surrounded by other parties of tourists. When the tables turned over French speakers started to file in. We had a nice corner table. The staff were OK but were noticeably nicer to francophones. We were started off with good gougeres. Wine by the glass was disappointing. We tried one white and two reds and they were all meh. Appetizers were very good. We had the biggest artichokes that we have ever seen in our lives. Our friends had the pig trotters and the burrata- two thumbs up. Two of our party split the some meunière. It was excellent and surprisingly easy to debone. Two of us had really good steak au poivre. We shared an excellent cheese board for dessert. Prices were fair. The space is straight out of central casting. It was a fun night at a nice bistro.

    The ouefs mayonnaise, the White Asparagus, and the steak au poivre, that glorious, glorious, steak au poivre were the best things I ate in 12 days in Paris. We walked in at 10:15 on a Tuesday night and ordered quickly, and it was beautiful. Once the waitress decided she liked us she said it was a good move to have come in when we did, no wait, prompt service. The au poivre was the most delicious of my life. Magnificent. I told the waitress I'd never had au poivre until then. Awesome service, perfect atmosphere, a proper perfect French restaurant. I cannot stop thinking about that meal.

    I came on a Wednesday night 30 mins after opening with no reservation, so I didn't expect for there to be a table available. The restaurant was indeed busy when I arrived, and yet I was seated right away! I was given a seat next to the restroom, so perhaps a reservation would've allowed for a better seat. Nonetheless, I was given equal attention by the kind server as other guests, whom were a healthy mix of Parisians (like the person who recommended the restaurant to me). I received bread prior to the meal that I didn't try given that I was saving room for the main course. I ordered the famed " Filet de Bœuf au Poivre de Sarawak avec frites maison ". Given how busy the place was, I was very surprised when I was served within what felt like 10 minutes. Whenever I order steak, I always leave the cook of the meat up to the chef. I was right to have done so: it was cooked beautifully! I was pleasantly surprised by how soft it was without it being so rare. The sauce was yummy, and definitely peppery. Maybe too peppery? Yet again, this was also my first steak au poivre, so I'd take my opinion on that with a grain of salt. The fries were thicker than what I've had in other establishments, but were still enjoyable and went well with the sauce. Nonetheless, I cleared the plates. Although I wasn't being rushed, I was in and out within one hour of being seated (which is golden for a New Yorker like myself). All in all, I had a lovely experience, and see why it is so popular!

    Very good food and service. The creamy poivre sauce with the steak was amazing. Save room for the soufflé! The servers were friendly, attentive, helpful and very efficient. Pro tip- you have to call for reservations, but they do save a few tables for walk-ins on the patio if you get there at opening time (7:30PM usually) first come first served. The patio has a nice ambiance and I think was better than inside since it was a nice evening. Also, don't ask for an English menu as they don't have them. First timers just get the steak. Or use google translate, or the server will help you with a selection. They don't take Amex so plan for that.

Perfect after an evening of shesha with friends. Service is pleasant and fast. The patio rocks especially on the side, comfortable and out of the way. Will eat again.

    We read nice brunch reviews about a restaurant nearby "Chez Troquette" called "L'Artiste" but since…read moreit was fully booked we ended up at the "Chez Troquette". It was a really good experience. Warm welcomed by the two waiters (I suppose as well owners and brothers) and we got a nice table by the window. We decided to have brunch there, which is served not in buffet from but it will be brought to your table in a mixed plate. It contains scrambled eggs with your choice of bacon, chicken or salmon, grilled vegetable, salad, fruit salad, fresh plain yoghurt, row ham, hard cheese, goat cheese, pan cake, mini chocolate cake, madeleine, basket of fresh baguette, butter and homemade jam accompanied by a hot drink and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. All the products offered were really tasteful and of high quality. Everything seems to be homemade and with love. A nice surprise was the mini chocolate cake: still warm and with a soft chocolate cream inside. The homemade jam was delicious and with a lot of fruit pieces inside. Service friendly and attentive. The only critical point the size of the table: a little bit too small to contain all the food and drinks brought. Overall a really great experience. I deeply recommend to try.

    First meal in Paris. Maybe because I didn't order the right item, I found this restaurant not wow…read more I got the "Made in Taiwan". It was ok. The portion size was huge but the flavor wasn't wow. The noodles were lacking. The noodle isn't the kind of noodle I liked. I found them too firm. Tofu seemed to be over cooked. On the brightside, the greens in the noodle were super fresh. B had the pastrami sandwich.He liked it. Fries were ok. The decor isn't wow here. I found this place though google and Yelp. This restaurant had a lot of history and story behind it. Servers here were super nice and friendly. The washroom here seemed a bit creepy.

The staff is fantastic, they give great service and will always help you make a decision on what to get! I had their chicken satay, a dish I favor in the states and they classed it up! Typically served on a skewer these were thin chicken breasts, covered in sauce served on a bed of rice. So good! My favorite dish there, may seem so basic, but their cesar salad. It blows any salad I have had in the US out of the water. Hard boiled eggs are in it, a large fresh chicken breast, and all the ingredients taste fresh. I've had their burgers, also fabulous and their hot chocolate! I have never left unsatisfied and will be my go-to place if I ever find myself in Paris again.
