Au Petit Chavignol - Carta

excellent table or simplicity rhymes with authenticity; kitchen southwest tasty, good wine, you love the bistro atmosphere and the remains of a Paris that goes! great duck andouilette on top! a convivial moment to share with friends!

Came here twice in a week, and was the best of the traditional bistros in the area. Great menu (no English but staff were helpful) and a cracking ambience - this is where locals were coming, some every day. Great slice of Paris life.

My wife and I visited this place for an early dinner one night (6 pm). Our French is limited and they helped us navigate the menu, in English. The fish was perfectly cooked and my wife's filet was good with an amazing onion/wine sauce. Highly recommend to Americans. Ver carta

We were recommended to this restaurant by our hotel and we walked just round the corner The service and food were both excellent, though not cheap, but for our last night dinner it was what we both wanted and the ambience was perfect with friendly owners and attentive service. Would definitely recommend,our steaks were superb.

Stayed on business in a nearby hotel so found this by chance because it looked busier than the other places nearby (aiming to follow the locals). Late night dinner was good and well cooked, we did the typical english thing and ordered steak frites... nice sauces and reasonable prices by Paris standards. It seemed all the locals were eating the ham and cheese plates which must be their speciality. Good choice in a fairly quiet neighbourhood.

Stopped at this small bistro/wine bar for a late lunch - the place has the feel of an enoteca - a simple menu and vast array of wines by the glass and bottle.We chose the charcuterie and fromage boards to share, the server kindly also brought us some pâté and breads to whet our appetite. Very reasonably priced (€60 for my husband and I, including wine) and would highly recommend for those wanting a light bite and/or a more authentic French snack. Ver carta

We saved the best for last. On our last night while searching for just the right bistro to sit and enjoy our last meal in Paris we found Au petit chavignol. Boy were we lucky. We had one our best meals in Paris. The wait staff were great. While their English was as limited as our French (well maybe they were better at English) they were able to answer any questions we had with the menu. Two of us had the rabbit, one had duck and one the stuffed cabbage. We were all very pleased with our dishes. The house red wine was excellent, we had two bottles. To top off our meal we all shared the Crepes Suzette, which was prepared at the table. The perfect ending to a perfect vacation. I highly recommen...

I have been there several times for dinner on weekdays, I almost had my own table and become friend with the waitress and the owner. In fact it is my favorite resto in Paris. I have spent in Paris many evenings due to business trips and was seeking for a resto every evening. I tried many in the 17th district and around, but kept returning here. It is how I imagine a very experienced and skilled French grandma would cook, not a fusion, fancy five course dinner, but very tasty, traditional and good amount. Old school, authentic stuff, every day a great, moderately priced daily offer. I almost always went for the daily starter (e.g. a terrine) and the main dish (e.g. pot-au-feu), not much space...

I stopped here again after visiting this little auvergnat restaurant a number of years ago to see if it had changed at all. I was pleased that it was as good as before when I recently revisited them with a friend on a Monday evening. The place was not particularly crowded, there were the usual habitués, and the 50's atmosphere with the old wooden furniture and chalk boards covered with the day's specials and available wines still prevailed. The wine list is remarkable, however, and the charcuterie and cheese are good choices here. This time I had the the crottin de chavignol to start, the effiloché de boeuf, with an excellent chinon, followed by a lovely tarte aux poires chocolat, which I sh... Ver carta
