We ate at Paris 66 tonight, and, I found it to be a great experience. The restaurant brings Paris right to you in a wonderful atmosphere on Centre Street in Pittsburgh, PA. I was in Paris in 2018, and, this restaurant did truly remind me of the dining there. We started with wine and a cheese dish just like would be if we were in a restaurant next to the Eiffel Tower. We had tender roast beef, succulent and deliciously prepared steak, I myself ordered the duck, the duck was fabulous. My whole family was impressed with the staff, who made arrangements easy and were clearly helping each other to have us have a great experience. My family’s waitress was Abigail, she did amazing, she made us feel at home and was completely professional with her service to us, giving helpful suggestions along the way. Hats off to Paris 66. If you are debating whether to give this place a try, you should check it out, it will be worth it, I promise you that.

Moshe was very kind, thoughtful, and lovely. My sister and I came here to celebrate our birthdays and he made us feel so special. Moments like what we experienced make life worthwhile. Merci Moshe

We went to the restaurant for their Valentine’s Day pre fixe menu, and it was $150 for the various courses. The restaurant is small, but we were greeted by the chef who is French and he said, “Welcome to France!” When we walked in. It created a lovely welcome, but they had propped the door open when it was in the low 30s outside, and the cold air was coming in. When we finally got seated (we did have reservations, but had to wait about ten minutes), we were in the outside portion that was sealed off from the cold with plastic curtains and space heaters, but it wasn’t enough to be warm. The escargots were superb, the lobster chowder incredibly tiny—no more than a half cup portion, but tasty. The teaspoon was the size of something my toddler uses to eat, and I felt bad watching my husband look at this tiny bowl that we were paying $150 per person for. The lobster tail was comically small, and not a full tail unless they were incredibly dwarfed lobsters, so we avoided ordering that upon seeing the plates others had gotten. We both ordered the filet with fois gras, which was perhaps the best steak I’ve ever had in my life. But it was 5 ounces before cooking, so a very small portion for my husband. There were only about four green beans and a small dab of Mashed potatoes under the green beans. The mousse apple was artwork for dessert and it was divine, but I’m not a dessert person and gave most of it to my husband. We ordered a cab franc and it was also excellent. The coffee is La Prima which they had in carafes to keep fresh and it was very good. Overall, the food was excellent, but don’t go hungry and wear something warm if it’s winter!

Stopped in on a whim around noon during restaurant week. Tried the restaurant week menu and was pleasantly surprised. It was kind of expensive, but they have some interesting items on their menu that you can’t find just anywhere. Their escargot was a little non traditional but very good. Another reviewer said it was “uninteresting” and I would say it’s pepared in a way for the most people to enjoy. For people with more experienced palates, yeah it can be uninteresting. The server was great and responsive. The place is intimate and small and filled up quick for the lunch rush. I would recommend reservations if you’re going during prime time. Will return again to try items from their standard menu.

We had a lovely experience at Paris 66! Had my fiancés birthday dinner here and everything was perfect. It’s super charming inside and really makes you feel you are tucked in a small cafe in France! The food is incredible! We had the crab salad, Kobe beef, asparagus, and truffle fries! Everything was cooked to perfection and so tasty! The crème brulle was delicious and they did a little sparkler on a macron for her bday, which was very appreciated. Our server Adian was phenomenal! Professional, great understanding of the menu, attentive, and overall just a really nice guy. We enjoyed our convos with him and sincerely appreciated his attention to detail! 10/10, we will most certainly return!

They do have a parking garage right next to the restaurant if there is no street parking available! Also, make sure to look at the menu. This is an experience not an Applebees. Don’t be like the guy next to us complaining about price and portion size the entirety of dinner. It’s 100% worth the money for what you get and the service you receive!

I have been dining at Paris 66 since it opened and I have never had anything but a 5-Star experience. The food and service have always been exceptional. Valentine’s Day dinner was no different. The choices on the prix fixe menu were delicious and a testament to the Chef’s creative vision. Bravo to Fred for continuing to bring elevated French cuisine to the Pittsburgh area.

Dining at Paris 66 Bistro was an amazing experience. We were greeted at the door with several smiles welcoming us to the restaurant.
There is a French pastry counter as soon as you walk in the door.
The food was everything we had hoped it would be and the waitress (Abby) was incredible
Definitely recommend this if you enjoy a fancy nice place to eat.

Two thumbs up.

Walking into Paris 66 Bistro, one seems to be transported into a quintessential Parisian experience, the French owner welcoming you with a “bon soir”, the walls adorned with decor from l’Hexagone (complete with a Métropolitain sign!), a bottle of Moët proudly on display by the entrance. Unfortunately, after sitting down, ordering, and dining, one learns quickly that it is all a façade.

To their credit, the prices on their menu are Parisian indeed: $19 for six escargots, $42 for cassoulet, $36 for a porc au cidre. A quick perusal of highly regarded bistros in Paris will reveal comparable prices, although of course with tax and tip included. But the actual culinary experience is but a pallid reflection of French gastronomy. The escargot was uninteresting (though admittedly paired with excellent crostini). The porc au cidre was acceptable but unremarkable. And the cassoulet should be rebranded as cass-sec-oulet, the confit duck dry and tough. For half the price this would have been acceptable, but $130 for all this and a tiny carafe of their house Sauvignon feels like an insult to the Pittsburgh public, as if the proprietor thinks that the fine people of this town do not know any better. There are far better restaurants in town to spend that kind of money.

The service is also decidedly European, as we waited 40 minutes between our hors d’oeuvres and our plats principaux.

There is a famous scene in the beloved Pixar film Ratatouille where the obdurate critic Anton Ego takes a bite of ratatouille and is teleported back to fond memories of his mother’s cooking from his boyhood years. Should anyone else have this experience at Paris 66 Bistro, I am sorry for what your childhood was.

I visited Paris 66 today with several of my students and we had such a great time. Our brunch was delicious and we really enjoyed our waiter Mosha who was funny, attentive, and helpful! If you’re looking for a cozy spot with authentic cuisine, definitely give Paris 66 a try. Looking forward to coming back soon!
