Le Paris 16

Gault&Millau's review 2026

11/20

Gourmet Restaurant

It’s a quintessentially Parisian bistro for Parisians. Among the Dumant family’s collection of bistros, it stands out—and stands out well—with its simple décor adorned with large paintings you wouldn’t buy, depicting athletes from the ’50s and ’60s (we had lunch across from a rather distant depiction of Lev Yashin), and run with charm and ease by the seasoned Fred Prudhomme. All the expected classics are right there on this typewritten menu: the egg with mayonnaise, the kidneys, the chicken in yellow wine, the pepper steak, and even the quenelles to evoke the atmosphere of traditional bouchons. The terrine is respectable and generously portioned, as are the tournedos with Béarnaise sauce, the lamb in a herb crust, and the sea bass fillet with saffron butter found on the daily specials slate. Desserts are also of a decent standard: a generous crème caramel, baba, profiteroles, and a wine cellar featuring renowned producers (Crochet, Graillot, Muzard, Richaud…) with a small, reasonably priced selection by the glass, around 10 €.
