    Duck breast
    Andrew R.

    This is the kind of place that you should be searching for when you come to Paris. Small and intimate, with well executed dishes and exceptional service. These smaller bistro type eateries are the lifeblood of the local cuisine. They consistently offer reasonably priced dishes that are full of flavor and technique. The wine and drink options are well catered to the menu and they provide options for most price points. The service we experienced was exactly what you want... our server had plenty of suggestions based on the offerings of the day. The service was attentive and responsive... not much more than you could ask for. I had the duck breast being offered... it was served alongside crispy potatoes, green beans, and a salad. Adding in the onion soup and a glass of wine... it quickly became a King's dinner at a very reasonable price. I would be more than happy to eat here again and look forward to exploring the rest of the menu offering many local and classic French options.

    So yummy! Best value meal with great food. Most delicious. Bottle of wine to split was cheap. Had onion soup, lamb, and crème brûlée. Left stuffed and happy.

    While walking around Montmartre we stumbled upon this cafe as it was the only place that had a table free. We really lucked out. This was one of the best meals we had in Paris. Like others have said, it's super small inside, so you'll get to know your neighbors really well. But your attention will be more focused on the food they bring out. I had the lamb with thyme sauce and my wife had the confit duck leg. Don't be afraid to pick the sauce of the day over the regular honey sauce. The sauce of the day on the day we went was a blackberry sauce which was crazy good. With a bottle of wine at 24 euros and both entrees under 20 euros, you couldn't really beat a meal of that quality in many places around Paris for that price. It was only after I ate at Le Potager did I see it had a bunch of great reviews on Yelp. It's definitely earned all those stars.

    I was there in 2021 and the food was very good, though the salad stuff on the main course was superfluous, if they still serve that way. However, the eggs cocotte with foie gras was divine! This fall (2026), I shall return to Paris and that dish is on my hit list for sure. In fact, I may order 2! Service was very personable. Small place but the largest table had 6 locals who livened up the joint. Americans planning to be in Paris Sept 28-30 hit me up we'll meet for din din. Zig

    Duck Confit Shepherd's Pie

    Had this spot bookmarked and I don't remember why so we booked a reservation at 7 Saturday night. So cozy (you will meet your neighbor) that we asked to be seated outside. Too cold so we wanted back inside and the hostess was kind and accommodating which was a nice touch. & yes we made some friends. For Starters, it was French Onion Soup -Thick and decadent-delicious. Also, ordered the Egg with Foie Gras-first time having this combination and it was excellent. For Main, my Duck Confit Shepherd's Pie was pure comfort-came out super hot and filled with Duck-perfect given the unseasonably cold evening. The Beef Steak was tender and cooked medium rare as ordered and enjoyed. For Dessert, both the Crème Brûlée and Chocolate Fondant were some of the best we've ever had. Service was upbeat and engaged. Our Server took great care of us and loved his hustle. Dont miss this Montmartre Gem!

    We were exploring the Montmartre neighborhood in the late afternoon, so we decided to stay in the area for dinner too. I had this spot bookmarked (can't remember why), so we stopped in (without reservations) on a 6 pm on a Monday when it opened. They were still setting up, but two more tables were seated right after us. We shared the baked egg with duck foie gras and it was amazing. It's rich but not overly so. It's the perfect appetizer to share but I could have also eat one by myself. And at €8, what a steal! For my entree, I had The menu is small, which is nice because that means they try to perfect a few dishes. For my entree, I had the breaded veal, which is served with a side salad and mashed potatoes. It really matters which direction you slice the veal because one way makes its super chewy. Luckily, I figured out the right direction and it was good - especially with the gravy it came with. The mashed potatoes were nice and buttery. Hubby had the tartiflette topped with smoked duck breast, which also came with a side salad. The tartiflette is kind of heavy for one person but the smoked duck breast was really good. The duck confit shepherd's pie sounded great too but I had already eaten quite a few duck confits on the trip, so I wanted to try something different. For dessert, we shared the creme brûlée, which was excellent. Not too sweet and the perfect end to a great meal. Highly recommend if you're in the Montmartre neighborhood.

    Had a lovely dinner here! It's a cute little place in Montmartre. We got a bottle of wine, the egg foie gras dish, French onion soup, duck, and creme brûlée. All of it was fantastic! I highly recommend visiting here for a great dinner in Paris. The space is quite small, but that's typical of the area. The prices are also pretty fair for the quality and amount of food!

    I found Potager on a list of the best crème brûlée places in Paris. In that regard it did not disappoint. Potager is small. Less than 20 people got inside and honestly if they filled every seat it would be uncomfortable. Luckily we came at that lull time in between lunch and dinner. The restaurant is cute, romantic, and the staff was extremely kind and spoke English. We ordered an appetizer and crème brûlée. The tart we ordered for a snack was tasty not the main star. The true star was the delicious crème brûlée. My wife and I rated it a 10/10 on the CB scale. Perhaps better exists but so far this has been the best. The menu looked appetizing but perhaps that is for a return visit. On a side note, we received some tasty bread with out appetizer and my baby loved it.

    Found this place because of the good reviews and called ahead to make a reservation. We started with the french onion soup and baked egg with foie gras. The french onion soup was hearty, and I've never had foie gras so I was worried it'd taste strongly of liver. I was wrong it was delicious and very rich. The duck was cooked perfectly and came with a slightly sweet sauce, the shepherd's pie was to die for it was not too salty and had the best mashed potatoes, and the fish was cooked and seasoned perfectly! This place is definitely cramped inside, but we didn't mind. Overall, we loved every dish as everything was so flavorful and regret not trying their desserts.

    The lamb 16 euros. A steal!

    The other reviewers were spot on. This place was amazing! Had the lamb and it was delicious!

    This place was a good place to grab a quick bite! The prices are really reasonable as well. My recommendations are the tomato basil tarte and the duck breast with fig sauce. The salad was a great acidic addition to all of the dishes.

    Desert: creme brulee,  cheesecake,  white chocolate moose
    Candace D.

    Everything was good. Thank you to my Yelp reviews to find this jewel!! This was the first time having foie gras and it was very flavorful with excellent flavor. The duck with honey glaze was so so good! The fish with the curry sauce was excellent as well and the lamb with mashed potatoes was good flavor. The dessert to get is the creme brulee!! You must make a reservation because the restaurant only holds about 25 people. It was our last night in Paris and it was the best meal yet!!

    Street brass, spicing up the scene!

    Two weeks in France! You'd think I'd have planned better than I actually did! But Yelp helped me wing it with restaurant and attraction reviews. This place, Le Potager du Père Thierry, had a few great reviews, and it was in the cool Montmartre neighborhood, so I figured I'd check it out. I got there about 45 minutes before their posted opening hour, but the waiter not only spoke english, he happily seated me in their sidewalk café and took my drink order. I had to try the onion soup, as I did at several places during my visit, and Thierry's version was one of the better ones I had. Cheesy, with a rich broth that was perfectly salted, and still crusty toasts floating within. Could've easily had another serving, but it was on to the steak dinner. Probably a sirloin steak, but not sure because in Paris steaks were just called beefsteak on menus. It was fine, but the brown sauce it was served with made it 'extra'. Decent fresh green beans, a basic side salad, and fried potato slices rounded out the meal. The creme brulee desert was good, not mind-blowing, but definitely not disappointing, and the thing that really boosted the whole experience for me were all the people in the street vibing with the brass band, materializing out of thin air, and cranking out funky favorites through my whole meal! I think I'd visit the neighborhood again, but I'd likely look for a different dining experience, to see if it would be as good as this one was. There are... so. many. choices! --but if I didn't want to search, I'd return to Potager du Thierry, without regrets! Bon appetit!!‍‍

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal.

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.

We should've noticed something was wrong when no one was inside. When the waiter (lone person working along with cook) gave us the menu, my wife and I stared at each other completely confused. The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup.
