A nearby wine shop recommended this restaurant, without telling us it had a Michelin star. We walked in for lunch without a reservation and got the last open table. We had a light lunch, a selection of traditional appetizers, and some fantastic wine. The service was impeccable, the ambience was classic, and the food was breathtaking.

The service was good, the place is classically beautiful inside, and the food we ordered was tasty (escargot and frogs legs, at least; we did not enjoy the pate en croute). The prices are so high, we stopped there and left before trying the eponymous Poule au pot- at $48 per person (dish for 2) that was a bit steep for my taste for lunch. Maybe your wallet is thicker than mine. There were so many other lovely restaurants nearby offering dishes for less than half that amount, it feels like they might be charging such high prices due to their fame.

Simply everything you could from a Parisian bistro. The food and ambiance are sublime. The service is professional but slightly guff, but that is also part of the ambiance. Great experience.

One of the most charming and delicious restaurants in Paris. I discovered this place in 2017 when I visited from New York City. It was so good that I put it on my list to try again and when I came back in 2023 I went with my wife and daughter. It was once again fantastic.!

One of the best meals I've had in Paris. We started with the Os a moelle that was accompanied by some crème fraîche, absolutely fantastic! The flambé was magnificent and the service was world class.

Parisian Eats Finding a quality French bistro proved to be a harder proposition than expected as Paris seems filled with crowded, mediocre tourist traps Our first two meals at Fuxia and Au Pied du Cochon were beyond disappointing as cold entrees, reheated French fries and bland flavors dominated the meal Our last meal in Paris was at La Poule Au Pot, a Michelin guide recommended restaurant, and one that is a stones throw away from Au Pied du Cochon It's a popular tourist spot as well and recommended by many hotels with Americans throughout our seating Thankfully, the food is excellent and all our classics of French food were delicious The price point is a tad higher but given the delicious food, friendly service and decor, it was exactly what we needed to finish our Paris leg: Bon appétit! Os A Moelle €24 ~ croque au sel /Escargots En Coquille €28 ~ beurre d'escargot les 12 / Terrine de Foie Gras €32 ~ gelée de Porto / Gratinée A L'Oignon des Halles €17 / Tartare de Bouef €38 ~ préparé à votre table, frites / Steak Flambé €44 ~ au sautoir, sauce au poivre / Crepes Mademoiselle €24 La Poule Au Pot (Paris, France)

Magnificent good food . Cheeses excellent. Service fabulous. Chicken amazing. Broule wonderful

La Poule au Pot made our last night in Paris really something special. Sitting in the center of Paris since 1945 in a quiet neighborhood made up of small Cafes and Bars, it gave us a great feeling when we walked in. A beautiful dining room, white table clothes and sparkling wine and water glasses, I knew right off my Yelp Collection list, someone hit this on the nose for a great recommendation. After I took a glance at the menu and HUGE French Wine collection, I knew it for sure. It gave us superb French menu choices all in French with a friendly and funny server that fooled us into the fact he did not speak English, but he actually did and was able to give us great recommendations from start to finish. He had a great sense of humor and spotted us as Americans, which I am sure he was used to. Therefore when he started to laugh as he rattled off "the Filet" "Frog Legs", etc, he knew he was playing with us in a good way. Pretty funny and not typical of what some people think of the French attitude towards visitors who do not speak French. In fact so many places were great to us and tried to communicate in some form of English. My wife and I both love the Escargot in Paris and we also checked to make sure they served it here. In fact after we got into the whole menu with our server, we knew this may become a feast. We did not care, it was our last night. The Escargot was served with a small bowl of the soft part of the inside of the baked rolls, just for dipping. This was besides the basket of rolls we always get. So, after opening up a great bottle of Bordeaux from the Medoc region of France, we of course ordered the Escargot. Twelve large ones in a nice garlic butter with a pesto I have to believe. Delicious. We also tried the Frog Leg Appetizer, not much meat on Frog Legs, but certainly succulent off the bones. A true delicacy and whatever seasonings they cooked these with in light sauce I'd wish there was more meat on the bone. The salad my wife ordered was huge and we split that as well. We had to order our entree's with the appetizers to give the kitchen time to prepare, but in no way were we rushed in to eating the main courses. Such a relaxing time and very timely service. My wife ordered the Filet Mignon, which came in a brown sauce that the server spooned over the meat. This Filet had the tenderness and more flavor than most Filet I ordered the Sweet Bread, which is a meat delicacy, in this case beef. Never had it before, but this was the most tender and flavorful meat I've ever had cooked in a restaurant. Halfway through our meal, our server came over with a pile of French Fries, White Rice and Mashed Potatoes. Not expected, but French Fries and especially mashed potatoes are very popular side dishes. Tried them both and one spoonful of the rice. Perfection, especially those fries. It all sounds like a whole lot of food, and it was, but we sat for a good 2 hours over that bottle of wine and loved this just for the atmosphere itself. Never felt overwhelmed or "stuffed". Just lay low on the carb side dishes. Whoever recommended this to me, please come forward so I can thank you. This is a Paris traditional experience and they must be doing it right for locals as well as tourists from all over the globe since 1945.
