The owner served us and helped us pick a number of amazing dishes and wine!

웨이터 분도 너무 친절하고 현지 맛집 느낌이에요! 파스타에 프로슈토 올라간 것도 별미고 양고기에 감자 퓨레도 넘 맛있었습니다 ㅎㅎ

We found this charming restaurant for dinner before attending a performance at the Theatre du Châtelet. The service, food & wine were great.

Simply the BEST!!! The owner has created one of the finest small restaurants in Paris. Location is superb in the heart of Paris. The menu is large and features specials like a white asparagus dish that was to die for. His foie gras is simply amazing and the escargot is superior to any I have ever had. We stayed in paris three nights, discovered Au Terminus on the second night and ate there twice; YES I had the foie gras and escargot both evenings! French home style cooking with incredibly personalized taste and service. When ever I am in Paris again, Au Terminus is a MUST for us. Julian Bills Connecticut USA.

Super resto..... qui est très bon, très raisonnable sur les prix - dans un quartier touristique !
Comme quoi, ce n'est pas impossible.
De plus faite entièrement confiance au patron pour les vins .... il est de (très) bon conseils et ses vins... Excellents !
Allez y.... retournez y !

Posto trovato assolutamente a caso, spinti dalla fame.
Giriamo l’angolo e troviamo questo posto storico a conduzione famigliare e senza fronzoli.
Respiri quell’aria di osteria tipica e sinceramente è quello che preferisco!
Lumache, funghi, formaggi, primi e secondi abbondanti.
Che dire…se è l’esperienza parigina non fighetta che vuoi provare, questo posto fa al caso tuo.

Allez y vous serez comblés et si vous aimez les champignons vous serez aux anges que des produits frais et faits maison

This was the single worst dining experience I have ever had in Paris. Our waiter here is the reason why some foreigners may think that the French are rude. I love all things French and have had only the kindest, loveliest experiences dining and talking to people in Paris and throughout France…until tonight. I travel to France twice a year for the past five or six years to eat, drink and shop.

Our waiter called to tell us that we should come 15 minutes later than our reservation and that worked well for us. When we came, I told him that our party of five was actually four because my mom became ill. He immediately let us know how annoyed he was that we didn’t tell him. I know running a restaurant is difficult, but the restaurant was totally empty except for two other tables by that point so he could have been a little nicer about it. When he told us about the special, he pointed out that the andouillette was not available but no matter, it’s not for us anyway, just the French. When we ordered wine, he gave us two glasses of red wine, with a very minimal pour. He said he would choose the wine. By this point, we could sense his resentment towards foreigners. We tasted the wine and it was vinegar: sour, fizzy, nasty!. I asked him about it and he promptly replaced it. Honestly, it felt like he knew but tried to get rid of it with the dumb foreigners. We sat right next to wine serving station and saw that the wine was served next to a Coca Cola glass that the bartender used to measure the wine. We noticed that for non foreigners, he would top off the wine. Not for us and the other non French.

Many people came to the restaurant asking for a table, if they were non French, he was very dismissive. One couple came in and they only spoke French and he was quite lovely and apologetic to them. I speak a little French and could understand. When another (foreigner) couple came in that was late for their reservation, he scolded them so rudely that we winced at our table. Then he went on to very kindly and sweetly seat a group of French ladies, I don’t know if they had a reservation. But what followed totally blew our minds. After he sat the ladies, he called someone and told them that they weren’t here to their reservation that was in the future (ten minutes later!) and that he was going to cancel their reservation. Ok, I get if you’re going to scold someone for being late but wow, you’re going to scold someone even though they are not late and cancel their reservation anyway?!

After the initial hiccups in the beginning, we realized that it was going to be a bad night but we tried to make the most of it because we had already ordered by that point and it was our last night in Paris. It’s a small restaurant and we sat prime to hear all the craziness that was happening. It was certainly entertaining, though in a negative way. I will never be patronizing this restaurant again and warn any foreigner to not bother. I know he is not representative of most French people. The other server that came in at the end of our evening was much friendlier and the food wasn’t terrible but we all left feeling quite bad and didn’t finish because of such unfriendly service.

We stumbled upon this French bistro hidden along a quiet street on a rainy day and decided to give it a try. With no reservations, the owner managed to get us in at the start of dinner for the 5 of us. The place filled up fairly quickly so our timing was just right.

The place felt different. Unlike many other places we dined at, you did not hear a word of English from the staff or patrons, except for the owner when we were ordering, and the menus were only in French. That said, the service was wonderful and they made us feel welcomed and treated us like any other French speaking guests, with warmth and care!

We ordered a few items off the menu with our favorites being the escargot and confit de canard.

I'll be keeping this place on my list on my next visit to Paris.

Il n'y a pas de secret, si ce bistrot traverse les époques depuis 1929 c'est que l'adresse est bonne. Le cadre est typique (Art Déco) et chaleureux. Le service est parfait : gentillesse, sourire et efficacité! Une excellente carte (bien sûr très nombreux plats avec des champignons). La cuisine est bonne et les plats très copieux. Un bon rapport qualité prix : entre 40 & 50 euros par personne. Bref le vrai bistrot parisien, dans son jus: une pépite!

Le repas était très bon, le patron sympa. Le seul bémol c'est la porte de service qui ne ferme pas bien et qui refroidi les place du fond à droite.

Quaint rustic French bistro that seemed to be family owned. Owner was extremely friendly and the food was good! Ordered the steak and it was quite a substantial portion.

Ottimo ristorante storico francese a conduzione familiare. Locale esistente dal 1929. Piatti classici della cucina francesce. Ottimi piatti di carne. Camerieri molto simpatici e ottimo ambiente. Consigliatissimo!

J'aime beaucoup ce restaurant où la cuisine est dans la pure tradition de la gastronomie française. Le patron sait vous conseiller et sa cave est très bien fournie. Chaque jour est différent et les produits sont du jour

The place is " authentique": an old room loaded with questionable cleanliness, mushroom crates exhibited in front of the door... But the dishes that we were eaten just decent. The only thing that I discovered authentic, it is this impression to do have when I saw the bill: close from €200 for 2 starters, 2 dishes and 6 glasses of wine (of good wine, but not a grand cru, eh...)
Inescapable address for lovers of traditional french cuisine and the incredible wine list diversity. Welcome and service very nice decor recommended lovers old antiques and paintings. Robert the owner the call patrons is excelling and warm and graceful on its cuisine on the wines to discover as on its finds in antiques.
Restaurant that I advise.
Frankly disappointing...

The critics of sly little minx is the image one has before returning and then that corsican...

I went 2 friends.
The reception was average and when we took menus (and not the dish very expensive à la carte), the type made the mouth.

Later I include a hair in my dish (tagliatelle with chicken blanquette way), then even for a large staple! (I think found on raw chicken).

I say it to the guy who barely excuse himself and me pay without frowning a dish that I barely touched as a result!
