About this restaurant

The prestigious Goncourt Book Prize has been awarded in this mythical establishment since 1914 and the Renaudot since 1926! Meticulously revamped, the smart brasserie interior now provides a backdrop for traditional French staples (pork pie, vol-au-vent), together with more inventive creations. The wine list has also been dusted off by an MOF sommelier.

Everything was great, except that they put down water we did not ask for and charged us. My husband did not dispute as we were pleased with our meal and service.

Excellent meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Both our children really enjoyed it too. The waiter was excellent (French Canadian) and we would definitely visit again.

I was alone and ignored for the first 15 minutes at my table. I asked for water twice to no avail. Meanwhile the couples on either side of me were immediately provided water. Eventually they seemed to take notice and the service was good thereafter. My fillet was perfectly cooked, medium rare, but the béarnaise sauce was too thick and unusable. The crepe Suzette was good, although it was the young man’s first attempt at making one.

The place was nice but noisy, Service was hectic with many people coming to you all the time without coordination. Out table was unfortunately right next to the kitchen exit which made it worse. Our entree was excellent but the rest was ok.

This was our best meal in Paris and we returned a second night in a row. The Parisian Flan was to die for!
