What to expect at La Poule au Pot
This is unfussy, deeply satisfying French comfort food done with real precision. The house signature is the namesake “poule au pot Henri IV,” a poached hen in broth that has anchored the menu since the restaurant opened. Around it you’ll find a roll-call of bistro classics: frog’s legs, merlan frit Colbert, buttery snails, veal stew, and a cherry clafoutis to finish. The mood is warm and traditional, the kind of room that feels like the Paris people picture before they arrive.
