Description: Le Petit Pontoise...Aussi is found just steps from Notre Dame and serves food made from only the very freshest of produce. A good choice for gourmets and food lovers, here you can indulge in snails cooked in a creamy brie sauce, cheese fondant with honeyed almonds and walnuts or foie gras and apple chutney for starters followed by a fabulous fresh fish of the day or for meat lovers the delicious veal with ravigotte sauce; coq au vin or chateaubriand with pepper sauce. Dessert should not be missed either. Le Petit Pontoise...Aussi also has a terrace that is great for al fresco dining.

Crowded by 7:30 so do make a reservation. Great find and suggested by our Hilton concierage. We trusted the waiter for our selections and did not regret it.. Lovely French red wine complimented our main course.Desserts were most satisfying. We were hassled by two partying college types as we waited for a taxi and our waiter came out of the... More

Dropped in for a Monday night dinner during our recent visit to Paris, our 4th time at this bistro since 2011. Despite having dined at many Parisian bistros, this is still our favourite. It's a charming little place, with great food at reasonable prices. And the staff are friendly, efficient and always willing to speak English. We will be back... More

We were wandering around looking for something that didn't look cheap or generic and found this place. We splurged on a good Chablis and had a main each and shared cheese. My scallops were plump and tasty. Had nice meal outside on a warm spring evening that we were very satisfied with.

Was one of the best Filet Beef I already have. We tried a Camembert with salad, it was wonderful. The pork cheek was fantastic also. Every dishes was very well served. It is NOT french, but you can share.

Good food is served here. we had 2 dishes each. Each dish was tastefull and quite detailed, but still not enough for top rank. This is due to the prices. Expect at least ~50 euro/pers for 2 dishes and wine...

Overall good to very good (more like 3.5 but that's not an option). Everything I had was good...just not great. Food was rustic French and like I said, it was good. I had the artichoke appetizer which was very good, my wife has the asparagus special which she really enjoyed. I had the filet which was fine, perfectly cooked and... More

We visit Paris quite often and when we stay on the left bank we used to eat at La Meree verte and were distressed on this visit to find it closed but chose to eat at its successor on spec. Luckily it was just 7, on a weekday in April as the place fills up quickly. The food is excellent... More
