    This is okay restaurant. Prices are very reasonable but the quality is not completely there. I ordered frog legs, sirloin and apple tart. It was very difficult to cut the sirloin. Frog legs were not the best either, but the apple tart was good. Staff were very friendly. The ambiance was very good and lively for a Thursday night.

    Our local host introduced us to this place after an 11-hour flight from California. The reason for the 4-star is the value of the 15€ lunch prix fixe menu. Yes, of course there are better versions of these dishes at the bistro and brasserie stars of Yelp, but you're going to pay a lot more than 15€. Médallion de Bloc de Foie Gras de Canard: Looks small, but is super rich and creamy. A little goes a long way. Love the jam on the side to sweeten up the bites. Margret de Canard: Not any sort of fancy roast duck breast, more like pork belly style cuts grilled up on a skewer then covered in a delicious peppery cream sauce. Once again, quite deceptive about how filling the duck and the fries are. Tarte Tatin: Quite a satisfying ending. The caramelization on the apples were just perfect.

    Dessert fruit salad and I forget the name of the other one but sounds like isle fountain

    $12 approximately for a 3 course meal per person and you definitely get what you pay for. I thought the bread was stale and hard when it came to me but it was served with butter and I ate every piece of it, so couldn't be so bad. I thought maybe they keep their prices low because they have a deal with someone about to throw away day old bread they might get it for free. My mussels tasted a little bit like body odor at first, it had a soft texture which I never experienced before and I wondered if they had been washed because of all the sand and grit present in them. Regardless I did eat all. The main course I got was a steak and it gave me a work out to cut into but again I ate every bite. The dessert we got was a fruit salad not fresh but edible and the kind I got I forget what it was called but I ate it all in spite since I had already made the most of my meal by eating every bite for best value. What I would say is the best part is watching the horror on my husbands face as he said to me "you know what this tastes like, when a person is first learning to cook French food" and continued to entertain me when he searched reviews and thought all the good reviews are definitely fake. Recommend if you have a good sense of humor, are not worried about falling down treacherous stairs before or after a meal, and can handle your eyes watering from a nearby cheese wheel on fire smoking when a table orders raclette. Leaving this review as a person who honestly loved this mediocre affordable food in a memorable way. Cheers! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    Escargots

    I got an entree, main dish, and ice cream for a total of 10 euros. Although the food didn't impress me, I'm happy that I got to try two new French dishes. The escargots de Bourgogne tasted really buttery but not much else. I typically eat spicy lemongrass escargots so these were underwhelming. They provided me with a clamping tool which was nice. It was my first time having beef bourguignon and I didn't like it at all. I think it's the dish itself not the restaurant. The beef was plentiful though. I dipped the bread they gave me in the stew which made it easier to eat the stew. The ice cream had two flavors but nothing else was special. I should've picked a different, unfamiliar dessert.

    My wife and I came here during our honeymoon almost 4 years ago, for our final dinner of the trip. It was memorable and we had to return! This place, set inside a tourist trap in the Latin quarter, didn't change a bit. The dinner combos were decently priced, and I felt the food was good for what you pay for. I had the onion soup, coq au vin, and crème brûlée - all pretty tasty. The coq au vin is probably going to be too salty for a lot of people, but I liked it, especially when sopping up the sauce with the bread. My wife had the bœuf Bourguignon and the meat was nice and tender. Her ice cream dessert was cool in that it was neapolitan, although not very dense like the higher quality types. Nice ambiance and quick service. The stairs going to the 2nd floor are steep and a little scary! 4 stars for the combo deal and sentiment value.

    We ate here twice in the three days that we were here. We thought the food and service were both great. They offer a great pre fixe menu of either 10 euros or 15 euros which we thought were very reasonable as compared to the other restaurants in this area. The portions were very generous and the food was good. We enjoyed the frog legs in a tomato based sauce. We also loved their beef bourguignon. The beef wasn't too tough. The charcuterie appetizer that came with the 15 euro meal was huge! All in all, we had a great time here and will definitely come again if we are ever in this area.

    Excellent little bistro. It wasn't my first choice but Bistro 1 was closed. I had the foie gras as an app. Very nice with a sweet jam. My main was coq au vin. Great flavours. Avoid the toilet. Its tiny and dangerous to get back from. An hispanic staff drives the floor. Quick and efficient

    Amazing first dinner in Paris we went for a restaurant we happened to walk by that caught our attention and scored! Aside from the popular raclette that you can have melting by your side during dinner, La Petite Hostellerie offers amazingly priced dinner sets, fondues and hot stone plates for you to cook your meat at your table. We got the fondue, foie gras, and a 3 course meal and it totalled to 45€ altogether for the flavor, the decor, and the quantities - very worth. The atmosphere is so fun and the hosts are very nice Yes they speak English

    We keep coming back ... the food is really delicious and exceptional quality for an exceptional price! €10 or €15 all inclusive 3 course meals as a choice. This place stays busy but always has room. Right near the Musee Cluny on Rue de la Harpe. The service is terrific and all staff friendly and very nice! Rates 5 Stars all around!

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not five minutes is a long time away, but it was still worth the weight as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

The Chickpea Fries and Warm Goat Cheese were nice starters, and I liked the bread basket that was given freely - especially the inclusion of a walnut raisin bread.
