Bistrot Paul Bert is a restaurants restaurant in the Array arrondissement of Paris.
Bistrot Paul Bert is one of the most beloved classic bistros in Paris, at 18 Rue Paul Bert in the 11th arrondissement near Bastille. A heartfelt ode to the disappearing traditional bistro, it serves the genre’s greatest hits with exceptional produce and a serious love of natural and artisan wines, under longtime owner Bertrand Auboyneau.
What to expect at Bistrot Paul Bert
The menu is pure bistro nostalgia done right: steak frites with a generous slick of pepper sauce, andouillette, seasonal game, a towering Paris-Brest and a famous soufflé. Careful sourcing and skilled cooking lift these classics above the ordinary, while the wine list champions independent vignerons. The room — zinc, mirrors, chalkboard menus — is the picture-perfect Parisian bistro. It is deservedly popular, so reservations (by phone) are essential.
