    Fish foot was cold and raw. Mushroom soup as starter had tasting at all. Pity, because other things worked well.

    Everything we orders was good! steak, veal, starters. (Fig and cheese), side dishes (pumpkin puree) and most of all, dessert (ile flottante)!! We will definitely go back!

    Arrived for booking @ 10pm ( 9:30pm my booking time, excused myself by phone prev ) only to be told I could order a main meal! Discussing options I ordered 3 starters. We made our peace! Delicious mushroom soup w sour cream, the superb foie gras with fresh and caramelised apple 🍎 & sadly a tasteless artichoke cold tart which I returned! Wine indication a winner! Very good local spot although initially rather inflexible.

    I seriously probably had the best dessert of my life here! The Pavlov! The restaurant is tiny and charming. The two servers were lovely. The food was amazing.

    Staff was visibly resentful towards us as we were 15 min late for our RDV on a Sunday night, Plus we were residents playing tourists, not French. Will not return.

    The beef fillet was extremely chewy and tough, making it difficult to enjoy. Eventhough the staff had offered to remake to my requested temperature, the quality of the meat was subpar—lacking the tenderness you'd expect from a cut like fillet. We have left the dish after a few bites.

    Cozy, but small restaurant. As often happens in Paris, tables are small and very close to other tables. So no privacy. But, having said that and not intending to blame for that this particular restaurant, our dinner was good, in particular with regard to the dessert (I strongy recommend tarte tatin). Service good and efficient kitchen. Prices are in line with expectations for a nice place.

    a very nice dining experience, but some dishes could be improved. We loved the welcoming staff and speed of service, as well as the freshness of the dishes. For that alone, we will come back. That being said, the risotto (fregola sarda risotto) was devoid of any taste at all and the raviole (pasta) on the half salted cod filled was always undercooked. I sent it back once, but it came back identical (undercooked). Mushy in the mouth and clearly not properly done. The rest of the dishes were tasty and served with taste and class (snails "profiterole", gambas, deserts etc). At the end of the day, we hope to be back but will opt for more conservative "French" choices next time. Thanks for having us!

    Cute casual restaurant in a nice area of Paris. Our mains came with mashed potatoes that we're still dreaming of! Definitely would recommend.

    A great find, recommended by staff in hotel Orphee where we stayed. Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff, great food. A few minutes walk away.

    After three years experience of eating at Au Bon Coin when on holiday, this year it was a major disappointment. We noted that the menu had changed and not for their good. The starter shellfish was not well cooked and the Octopus was over-cooked. While the service was fine the food did not deliver.

    Au Bon CoinOwner

    Dear Joe, Thank you for taking the time to write a comment. We are also very honored to read that you are a loyal customer, thank you for that. We are very sorry to know that our food was not as good as you expected, but we hope that you will give us another chance. Hope to see you soon, Au Bon Coin Team.

    54 Euros for the recommended dish of pork ribs which in fact was just a huge plate of pork (not ribs). Allegedly the portion was for 2 people but would have fed a family of 5-6. We left more than half of it and complained. It’s a shame as we come here every year when we come to Paris but that was terrible and the end of us coming to au bon coin

    Au Bon CoinOwner

    Dear Elaine, All the team thank you so much for taking the time to write us a comment! Thank you too for your fidelity over the years. We are so sorry that your experience was not as good as you expected. We hope that your food was good though. We sincerely hope to welcome you again during your next stay in Paris, Au Bon Coin Team.

    We loved this restaurant years ago on a trip to Paris and thought we would try it again. The inside looks to have had a bit of a facelift but the food remains excellent and service was gracious and efficient.

    I really love this restaurant. I’ve been at least 10 times. I was disappointed on this visit. It wasn’t as good as it has been in the past. I love the atmosphere, and I love the service. They are always so freaking nice! Perhaps it was just an off night, I sure hope so, as I intend to go back again. Usually spot on, but this visit was just not up to the same standard. I hate to have to say this, because I really do like this place. Hoping for the best on the next meal….

    Every time we stay in Hotel Henriette we eat at least once in Au Bon Coin. For a local restaurant it is first class and we are rather fussy eaters. There is always a mixture of locals and tourists and we have never been disappointed.

    Amazing food. We had porc and a pasta risotto and it was perfectly executed but the risotto was cold when it arrived. The atmosphere is casual and the price is fair given the quality of the cuisine.

    They put us at the worst table in the restaurant by the kitchen and toilet. Not sure if it was intentional. My scallops were amazing, the rest was average. The service was very good tho! I would go again for scallops only. I think 9euros for a pint of beer was excessive

    As always, and I have been coming here for many years, excellent, expertly prepared and beautifully presented food made from fresh, seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients. Service is tip-top and very welcoming. This was our first visit since the easing of lockdown, and we are looking forward to the next one as soon as we can return to Paris!!
