    This little place serves amazing food in an authentic rustic environment... vibes are on point, food is high-quality and delish, its affordable and I loved it! Don't pass it up- indulge in classic french country dishes without pretension! If you have issues being super close to your fellow diners, you may not enjoy the experience... its very small, very close and if you talk with your hands or need a lot of elbow room, maybe this isn't for you.

    The food was delicious and the service was good. This was the first meal we had when we arrived in Paris. Recommend making a reservation because it can get packed.

    Client since 2005, still big fan of "oeuf cocotte au foie gras",the best ever tried. Owner changed during COVID period, not the taste. Looking for a place to have a good time with friends? You will never be disappointed.

    I like the cozy vibe of this little restaurant, especially on a rainy day. We had the foie gras egg appetizer, duck mashed potatoes and duck breast with honey seasoning. Everything is right on, mind blowing flavors.

    I was definitely not expecting such a small place when we booked but we very very delighted with the food , the atmosphere and the service . We had the steak and the duck which were delicious and as a starter we had the soup and the eggplant with cottage cheese.

    What an amazing restaurant. Small & quaint but full of atmosphere. The service was friendly and professional. Would recommend the baked egg & duck starter, the steak with pepper sauce (cooked as requested) and king prawn main. For dessert the berry crumble was perfect.

    A rustic, one-room setting with no pretensions. Very friendly and efficient staff. Service was quick and the food was down home French with good flavors. Price was very reasonable. The place filled up by 7-7:30p, inside and outside. A very nice experience overall.

    Lovely cosy restaurant. We had lunch and the menu was varied. I recommend the tartiflette with smoked duck as well as the confit duck shepherd's pie.

    We were so excited to try this place because of the glowing reviews. Unfortunately, we haven’t been more disappointed with the food. Service was very good, in fact they were very accommodating when we came in 2 hours before our 9pm reservation. We were so tired and hungry after our Montmartre tour which ended at 7pm that we decided to try if they can seat us. There were a couple of empty tables so they let us in. Our starter of baked egg with foie gras was delicious! We wiped clean that small ramekin with the bread. We thought that if the starter was this good, surely the entrees should be outstanding too, right?! We couldn’t have been more wrong! I’ve ordered the beef with pepper sauce and the wife ordered the veal after getting that recommendation from the server that the veal is tender, more so than the pork we were thinking of getting. Orders came in but my beef was tough overdone medium instead of the medium rare I’ve ordered. So they offered to replace it. Btw, the veal was surprisingly tough too. After an agonizing wait, I got to slice into the beef and it looked like a perfect medium rare. However, as hungry as I was, I just couldn’t get over the tough piece of meat. We were so disappointed we both didn’t finished our food.

    Tiny AMAZING restaurant - don’t let the drab outside fool you - such a hidden gem with real and tasty french food. We went before the Moulin Rouge and would recommend as a pre-theatre dinner!

    Highly recommend this gorgeous little bistrot! Lovely friendly staff, rustic & cosy atmosphere. Really understanding about food allergies. The food was so delicious. The chocolate cake in particular is amazing- like a melting brownie!

    This is my favorite restaurant in Paris. It isn’t fancy, but the food is consistently excellent. The service is always attentive and friendly. But, their chocolate cake is my favorite thing is the entire world to eat. If I get a last meal in my life, multiple courses of their chocolate cake will be included. You might want to come to Paris just for this.

    Amazing dinner! A friend who is from France recommended this place and it is our 2nd time here…delicious food, great service and well priced. We are picky diners from NYC and highly recommend Le Potager!

    The first meal stop of our long-awaited trip to Paris. This restaurant was recommended to us by the hotel we stayed in and to be honest, we probably wouldnt have visited if it wasnt for the point in the right direction! We werent expecting a restaurant so tiny - it was certainly very cosy inside - we counted it seated a max of 24 people! From the minute we walked in we were made to feel very welcome. The staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. They provided us with English versions of the menu and helped us with our choices! We all chose the potato gratin with duck and it was AMAZING. so much flavour and filling at the same time - but not too much that we couldnt fit in a dessert as well! A great recommendation and a great meal.

    Such a cosy nice restaurant with a really good price ratio. The food was excellent and the service as well. The tables are quite next to each other, so no place for distance.

    This restaurant serves delicious food at a fair price. I had the cottage cheese with aubergine and sundried tomatoes and it was superb. And I loved the service, very friendly and charming.

    Very Good Food for a low price. The Desert was a 9 out of 10????. I would say a 10 out of 10, but this is not existing.

    This place has changed owners. We have been going there every time we visit Paris. The recipes are the same. But the taste of the food is different. They need to work on consistency of the sauces, too runny.
