Fantastic sandwiches and charcuterie plates! The draft beers are second to none and the staff are friendly !

Service- unusual behavior. My husband is 1/2 Asian. I'm French/canadian. They refused to let us sit outside. We had to sit in a small area where they were only seating other Asians. Every single table was Asian in our small area. It felt like racial profiling & they were not kind to us. Food was Just ok. read more

We got take out, but wish we had more time in our trip to eat a meal inside. Very comfortable, small establishment, with a casual bar. Service was friendly at the take away counter. Best jambon buerre. If I lived in Paris I would want to eat it everyday. read more

Very friendly service, by American standards. Authentic French food, sommelier in house. Was a good way to end a great France trip. read more

There are three types of people who come here: Parisians who just want an honest meal in an unpretentious place, Parisians who want to take advantage of the take-out counter here to bring a great sandwich or burger back home with them, and hungry tourists who charm the concierge at they're hotel until he or she divulges the location of this excellent and secret place to eat. This place is good. This place is cheap. This place is Real-Paris - on a shoestring. Le Petit Vendôme offers the cuisines of Burgundy and Auvergne, which means snails, pate, raw meat, pomme frits, stews, veal, and most definitely Charcutarie (aka. lots of cured meats and cheeses). Now that you know about it, don't miss this place. read more

TL;DR: great food, great price. This place is a gem, perfect for a casual meal. It was just around the corner from our hotel so was super convenient and had great food. We ate here once soon after we arrived in Paris for lunch and found ourselves going back again and again for lunch and late night snack (they're open until 2am). No reservations needed. The menu is classic french dishes and some of the best sandwiches in Paris. The ham sandwich and the french onion soup really hit the spot. read more

I'd say book this place but the place books up far in advance so plan accordingly. This place is an institution. The staff is amazing and the food is out of this world. The kids had a blast with the server's humor and the place was full of tourists and locals alike. Our reservation was for 6:30 pm but they let us in earlier. The location is handy near all the major retailers so we got in a lot of the local area before working up an appetite. The place is cozy so we were sitting right next to an English-speaking couple, which added to the experience. Kids tried escargot, lamb, and duck confit for the first time and gave it a thumbs up. The steak was good and the crème brulet was different with the pistachio center. My daughter loved the strawberry mousse. Even though there were plenty of folks crowding the bar waiting for our table, the staff didn't rush us one bit which made it extra nice. When you tip so they ring a tip bell for all to hear. Note that they charge a cover per person. read more

Great sandwich and a perfect size for lunch. I was saving it as I walked to try and find a park to sit down and ....,,slowly I kept taking a bite ..., then another few blocks.. another bite. Too good to wait for. read more

I feel so welcome ! If I go back to Paris I will be coming back !!! It's very relaxed and casual. read more

We made the rookie mistake of expecting to grab dinner before our 7:30pm opera. Should have read the reviews warning that the kitchen didn't open until 6:30pm. But they graciously were offering cheese and meat plates, which were more than adequate to fuel us through La Traviata. Charcuterie: Tons of different hams, dry sausages and pâté. Everything was great, though the prosciutto-looking one was my favorite. Cheese: Only three kinds of cheeses compared to the cornucopia of meats, but quite a sufficient portion. I was partial to the bleu, which helped cut the richness that the charcuterie left on the palette. read more

A small, but typically sized French restaurant with lots of charm. Be warned, this place can get pretty packed! We came here for dinner (dinner officially starts at 6:30), but we came a bit early so we started off with some wine and they gave us some sliced salted pork sausages on the house, which was super kind. We got the duck foie gras (delicious), duck breast, and beef tartare. All were super good and well worth us waiting for the kitchen to open! Service were kind and they spoke some English as well. Would definitely come again! read more

I was at Roland Garros for the whole day...it rained occasionally and was rather chilly. When I came back to my hotel, it was late and I was hungry! The helpful concierge told me about this venue... I've been staying at Park Hyatt every year for the past few years (and it stands just round the corner!), but I did not know about this place until this time. Anyhow, I walked in around 11pm and the owner welcomed. Ordered French onion soup and asparagus salad - both were great and just hit the spot! The owner told me a story behind French onion soup which I did not know... Great food, warm service (everyone was friendly), open late (till 2am), very reasonable prices...I would definitely come back for my late night eats! I was told it's extremely popular sandwich place and people would line up during lunch hours read more

We went here on the recommendation of a local for Crème brûlée and ended up also ordering a cheese plate. We told the waiter to bring whatever he wanted and it was literally the best cheese I've ever had. The pistachio crème brulee was also very delicious. We went back two days later and had the same cheeses plus added the goat cheese. Again phenomenal! We had to have a reservation at lunch time on a Monday so you might not be able to just walk in. It's definitely worth a visit! And if I'm ever in Paris again, I will go here. The waitress the second time told us they get their cheeses from the Auvergne province so now I need to visit there on my next visit to France. read more

Food was very good. Wine selection good. Service was excellent. Got to sit on the first floor front area.

Charming best describes Le Petit Vendome. The folks that work here are warm and welcoming. They greeted us immediately and we were seated right away. Unfortunately because we're Asian, they thought it best to seat us right near a very loud and talkative Japanese couple. So, the entire night we mostly heard Japanese, not French. Mon dieu! The menu reads very rustic French bistro. As it was our first dinner in Paris, we wanted an authentic French meal. My husband ordered the veal and I chose the onion soup and terrine. Veal (3/5) comes with a cream sauce, salad, and potatoes cooked with mushrooms. The veal was tender but bland. The potatoes and mushrooms were better seasoned and tasty. Onion soup (3/5) as my husband put it, "tastes like Tam O'Shanter." While that isn't bad per se, I guess I was expecting something more authentic or magical. It was hot, seasoned well, came with lots of cheese. A solid soup choice. Terrine (4/5) when I attended culinary achool, terrines were a pain to make. I disliked making them and eating them. Even when I worked in a five star French restaurant I disliked terrines. But when in Paris, I felt a calling. It was pretty good! Tasted great with rustic bread and was satisfying. Even better with cornichons! Overall a good experience. We made it through dinner satisfied with our meal. We may return to take-out a ham and butter sandwich. read more

I love this place! I've been going there for 10+ years. A Parisian Cheers. Highly recommend it. Lionel is fantastic. I count him as a friend. read more

My meal was scrumptious! I loved that the place was full of locals! I speak very little French, but had no issue communicating!

Our favorite stop in Paris. Best wine, cheese plates, meats, service and vibe is tops. You can't go wrong. Everything on the menu is outstanding. Sit at the counter and drink good wine and enjoy being part of a real Paris scene. Great people watching too. It's always packed for a reason. Make a reservation or come midday or late because you won't get in at peak times but it's worth it. read more

Excellent food and service but in very, very cramped environment. We had dinner here but I would recommend lunch at the bar instead. Great place and I would go back, for lunch. read more

I had gotten recs to come here for a sandwich, and the sandwich line was indeed long during lunchtime. We were meeting someone, so we decided to sit down to lunch. They have a few outdoor tables, which are nice because it's quite crowded inside. The menu is classic bistro food, but you can get their famous sandwiches for dining there at €2 extra. We decided to get food and get a sandwich to go, which was a great idea. - Baguette: great house baguette - good flavor, nice crusty outside - Asparagus with poached egg, bacon, greens: a nice light option with a perfectly poached egg - Andouillete: my French cousin insisted on this - it's better with mustard but still just not my thing (innards etc - NOT andouille as I naively mistook it for years ago). The fries fries came with it were great - Daily special: sausage with pomme aligot - sausage was standard, but potatoes were good - Chocolate eclair: very chocolatey, good for sharing after your meal We ended up getting a ham and cantal sandwich to go, which I devoured while walking around. The sandwich was so great - cantal was generously portioned and super flavorful, the ham was fatty, it had good butter, and the baguette was just the right texture. Service was very friendly. They're open all day. Reservations are accepted for seating, but I highly recommend going for the sandwiches. If it were just the sandwich experience, I would say 5 stars! read more

One of my favorite places in Paris. Such a fun yet intimate vibe. All the regular patrons huddle around the bar and dance around on weekends as the wine continuously flows. The owner and waitresses understand and speak enough English to converse with you. During lunch they have sandwiches and charcuterie, while at dinner they serve classical French dishes. This trip I enjoyed an excellent duck confit with crispy pan potatoes. I also indulged in their pistachio crepe brulee, which is delicious. I will continue to come back for the excellent service and food. read more

Nice cafe with good food. My son ordered a cheeseburger that didn't disappoint and I ordered the special which was prawns on pasta that was AMAZING! Hubby had the sausage plate, wasn't what he expected but I'd was very good. This was our first cafe after a 11 hour flight and we were so happy we stopped by after reading the yelp reviews. Good food good service and good price. read more

Fantastic little brasserie just a few blocks north of the Jardin de Tuileries! I could not have asked for a much better lunch spot to enjoy my first meal in Paris after almost 20 years. I will say this place is not suitable for those who will only be satisfied by an incredibly fancy dining experience, nor is it appropriate for any tourist who is merely seeking sustenance or lacks appreciation for food. It's not for them! Le Petit Vendôme is a relaxed and casual restaurant serving up some very good and very traditional French dishes with specials hailing from Auvergne and Burgundy (Central France). The food is honest and the atmosphere is homey. Le Petit Vendôme is definitely one of those places where you take the time to enjoy your meal, savor the moment, and wish the experience would last just a bit longer. ___F O O D___ The menu consists of classic French dishes. You'll find confit de foie, wild escargot from Burgundy, andouillette, and pot au feu (beef stew). Additionally, they allegedly make one of the best sandwiches in Paris. Just ask for the jambon beurre (ham and french butter on a baguette) and they'll hook you up! I was only somewhat hungry so I ordered a soup, a starter, and a dessert. -Onion Soup: Really comforting and tasty soup topped with glorious cheese! Been a while since I've had French onion soup in France so I actually made an effort to pay attention and tweak my own recipe later. This one was lighter in color (y'all use chicken stock or something?) than most onion soups I've had in recent memory, but managed to taste even more delicious! I loved the savoriness and the subtle background flavors from the herbs. And the broth wasn't excessively sweet or salty either! 9/10 -Jambon de Bourgogne Persille: Burgundy ham with parsley. They take the ham and gently poach it for hours in stock with white wine, garlic, and other delicious things before assembling it into a terrine. It's old-fashioned but ohhh so good. Pair with some French butter + bread and you're golden! 9.5/10 -Pistachio Crème Brûlée: I thought a dessert was a must in Paris, even though I do not normally order such things (I'm more of a savory guy). Anyway, this was great! The caramelized sugar shell satisfyingly shattered under my spoon and revealed a light and silky smooth pistachio custard. It wasn't grainy at all! The top appeared to be torched a bit much, however, the burnished flavor really worked well. I just wish the pistachio was more prominent, but I suppose subtle flavors are more appealing here? Still good. 8.5/10 ___S E R V I C E & A M B I A N C E___ The people are as sincere as their food. So nice! Folks checked up on me often and my order arrived in a timely manner. As for the ambiance, Le Petite Vendôme feels like one of those places that has not changed much over time. It's old-school and homey. The use of vintage signage as decor, red & white gingham tablecloths, and handwritten menu boards further drive this point home. I'd also like to add that space is a bit tight. The restaurant is popular and they have some rather cozy seating arrangements so you will be in close proximity to other diners. ___F I N A L T H O U G H T S___ I had such a wonderful experience dining at Le Petite Vendôme and every dish was such a joy. I'm only deducting one star because it's not a mind-blowing restaurant. I just went back to my only 5-star Paris review for a restaurant and that establishment was on a whole 'nother level. Le Petite Vendôme is great, but probably not "as good as it gets." read more

Tiny little bistro just off the Place de Vendome where we were staying at the Park Hyatt. When we got into Paris from London, it was nearly 2pm so fortunately, they squeezed us into a table (yes, squeezed because that's how close together the tables were). DS really wanted to try French Onion Soup in Paris and this place did not disappoint. Escargot was good but ultimately not the best on this trip, as was the steak au poivre. I wished that the au poivre sauce was spicier but it was still very good. Can't wait to go back in December! read more

Our first dinner in Paris. Great little place with amazing French Onion Soup! The owner was very nice but the server seemed not to like that Americans had come in. Had a terrible table. Oh well. The food was good! read more

Wow!! This is a Paris gem of a restaurant. Do no let the crowds fool you.. there are tables in the back. We came at a busy time. But were brought to a nice nook in the back. I think it is reserved for non- french speaking clientele. Our servers were amazing. The food was absolutely delicious for our first evening in Paris~ Beef fillet with bone marrow cooked to perfection. Duck confit so delicious paired with wine. To top off the night~ Pistachio Creme Brûlée. C'est delicieux!! read more

Perfect lunch spot. Very small, very busy, and everything was very good. Baguettes were fresh and delicious. French onion soup was the best I had in Paris. Cheese board with 3 cheeses was great and HUGE so be prepared to share. I loved the blue cheese. My sister had the duck and said it was one of her favorite meals in Paris. Very reasonably priced wine and food! Employees were very nice and helpful! read more

There was small menu but I was happy the onion soup was good and buttered baguette. I Like the experience from the bar.

This is another spot that we keep returning to in Paris. The charcuterie is delicious, and wines are always affordable and on point. Our server was super friendly and accommodating even though the place was super packed for lunch at 2:30om. Get the Rillettes and Pate, you will not get any better anywhere else. Don't judge our spread, we got a little carried away for 2 girls :). read more

This review is for their dinner. The French onion soup was great, it was served hot and perfectly broiled cheese. The charchuterie plate was fantastic and had such a wonderful variety of flavors. Their baguette was a bit stale but the butter and meats saved it. Where they fell short was the steak and fries. Photos in this case can be deceiving. We ordered it mostly because the pictures looked great. It turned out it was very tough and under cooked. I can make a way better steak at home. For €27 this was very disappointing and brought the would have been four star rating down to three. This just isn't acceptable to make a steak this bad and charge that price. Wine list was ok. Glasses, carafes and bottle portions are available. Cute restaurant with classic dishes. Just avoid that dry tough steak. My dog would even struggle chewing that. One of the worst steaks I've ever had. read more

We wanted to get takeout sandwiches and sit in the Tuileries gardens to relax after walking all morning and this place was perfect. You can order to go at the counter and get an incredible sandwich. You can select your own meat, cheese and toppings or select from their specials. Very reasonable prices at around 8 euros! read more

Hubby and I came here for lunch. The restaurant was pretty small on the inside but did have some outdoor seating. We sat inside only because the sun was shining directly on the outdoor seating seats but they didn't have air conditioning on in the inside so it was pretty hot. I ordered a onion soup which was really good but oily/Fatty. Next we ordered the meats platter because we couldnt decide what we wanted. For €20 the platter was huge with tons of meat options to try. A little of everything. read more

Barback only spoke French so obviously I loved it because I love being gently spanked with the reminder that not everyone speaks English. Barback was also super super cute so that didn't hurt. I sat at the bar reading Vogue. The French soup was not my favorite, but in order to flirt with said super cute, English adverse barback I ordered a sandwich to go - which I pretended I'd eat on the road to my early adventure in the morning. In reality I'd be eating it in my robe, 30 minutes later while watching the Eiffel Tower glitter. The sandwich was delicious. It was cured ham and goat cheese. read more

We generally eat dinner pretty early, but a lot of restaurants in Paris close between lunch and dinner and re-open for service around 7PM. Needless to say, we were really hungry and looking for a good meal. We certainly got this here! This place is really casual and cozy. The staff was very friendly and spoke English well. The owner (or manager) seemed to know everyone who walked in and would greet them with hugs. We started our meal with french onion soup, the charcuterie board, and a glass of red wine. The french onion was delicious! Not too salty with the right amount of cheese. They don't line the top of the soup with cheese like I've had in other places in the states, and I personally liked it better this way. The charcuterie board was AMAZING!!! I'd highly recommend this if you ever drop by here. Lots of variety (not even 100% sure what everything was to be honest), but there was nothing on the board that was unsatisfying. They also give you a small jar full of pearl onions and cornichons (mini pickles) to accompany with your meats. It was a good mixture of sweet and sour to offset the salt from the charcuterie. Finally, we ended our meal with the main dish, which was the Pot au feu (French beef stew). The vegetables and meat in this soup were tender and cooked really well. I thought the broth was a little too salty, but I'm not sure if this is how it is supposed to be in this dish. The restaurant is located in a really nice area near Place Vendome. They have high end hotels and shops lining the streets. Great area to walk around after a wonderful meal here! read more
