Bistrot Paul Bert

A beloved 11th Arrondissement institution celebrated for steak au poivre, hand-cut frites cooked in beef tallow, colossal soufflés, and an extraordinary natural wine list.

Located along Rue Paul Bert in the foodie epicentre of the 11th Arrondissement, this quintessential bistro features zinc counters, globe lights, chalkboard menus, and bustling waiters. Owner Bertrand Auboyneau upholds unpretentious French heritage: farm-fresh oysters, steak frites served rare (bleu) or medium-rare (saignant), and the city's finest Paris-Brest praline pastry.
