Bistrot Paul Bert serves my favorite steak au poivre—anywhere. A perfectly cooked, juicy, tender cut of beef with just the right amount of cracked pepper and that luscious, creamy sauce… I’m literally dreaming about it as I write this. I need to go back soon.
Hubby ordered the steak tartare, which came with crispy fries and a simple green salad — classic, no-nonsense, and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and efficient, the kind of old-school Parisian hospitality that’s warm without fuss.
Now, fair warning: they don’t answer their phone, and getting a reservation can be tricky. But if you show up right when they open on a weekday, you might just snag a table — that’s what we did. It’s a little out of the way, but trust me, it’s worth every minute (and every euro of the taxi ride).
Our total came to around USD 120, and the bill came with a couple of adorable little canelés on the house. A perfect Parisian meal from start to finish.

Very bustling busy place. They didn’t cook my steak to medium rare like requested . It was rare but it was delicious. Sauce and fries needed salt but once I added it !!! 9/10 very delicious. They accommodated me very quickly and as a solo traveler I’m super grateful. This meal was great and so was my wine.

Bistrot Paul Bert’s famous pepper beef filet definitely lives up to expectations.
My pepper steak was cooked to perfection and drenched in a gloriously rich pepper sauce.
The French fries were equally excellent but served in a quite tiny portion unfortunately.
Service was nice and efficient.
Be sure to reserve your table – They take bookings via phone only tho…

The soufflé was excellent, the steaks we had were okay, but nothing special. Our server had a slight meltdown when we suggested we wanted a €40 wine that was medium bodied. Apparently this was a very challenging request, but probably because she wanted us to spend €60 for a bottle. Silly people. The wine she eventually approved us to have was good and matched the food well (and cost €40). Not a challenge at all.
Generally good and a traditional atmosphere, but overpriced compared to other restaurants and for the quality of meat.

We came for one thing, steak au poivre. That’s it. We’d heard it was maybe the best in Paris. It was, just fantastic. There is an old school ambiance to the place as well and the staff were friendly and attentive. I can’t speak to the other items on the menu, but I regret not coming sooner for the steak. It was that good. The place is small, make a reservation if you can.

I was expecting a amazing experience, the beef with pepper was but the rest was average.
Getting a table at bistro Paul Bert is challenging and expectations was very high indeed.
We started by the girolles and egg, it was nice but the one at the grand cafe at the grand palais is much nicer. Then we had the rabbit and confit tomatoes which was not amazing just nice.
for the bread, pity that salted butter is not served with it. The 2 cheese gougères were nice but overcooked to my taste therefore quite dry.
Then we had the star of the show the beef with pepper sauce and yes the sauce is incredible, absolutely delicious. The beef portion is not generous and the chips portion is not big either for 2.
The whole main course is really yummy, very well balanced and executed.
Then came the desserts and they were both disappointing. The soufflé tasted undercooked, I could not taste the grand marnier. It was a poor experience.
We also had the îles flottantes : too sugary the egg whites were too dense, too packed and the crème pâtissière had far too much sugar.
Although the starters and the main were served within 25 min of our arrival, we waited far too long to get our desserts ( please note that we ordered the soufflé with our main meal as we are aware that time is needed) and then we waited over 30 minutes and had to asked twice the invoice and decided to go and pay at the till as our waiter was not coming to our table.
Overall, go to bistro Paul Bert to enjoy the beef with pepper sauce which is spectacular but skip starters and desserts, they are not worth your time or your money.
Please note that we just had a meal at the grand cafe at the grand palais today and for the same price, the overall meal just can’t be compared (every dish was so tasty).

Loved Paul Bert. We had a couple of the specials for starters, the carpaccio and the cervelle de canut, a white cheese topped with herbs and oil. Both were light and tasty. We also got the soft eggs and morels which I could easily have eaten 5 more portions of. We both got the steak (bavette cut) with frites in a sarawak pepper sauce, which lived up to the hype. We finished with seasonal strawberries in a raw cream, also amazing.
We had a hard time getting a reservation but we eventually were able to reach someone over the phone. It has been mentioned ad nauseum everywhere to call 1hr before or after to reach a person, and that’s what we did but it took us a lot of calls, over many days to get through. When we got someone, about a week out, they took down our info but when we showed up, there was no record of us. They were able to seat us without issue. I think if you show up right at opening, it should not be a problem getting a table.
Other than the tough reservation, we loved everything and it’s most certainly worth a visit in spite of the tourist hype.

Beautiful little bistrot.
We went for the fillet au sauce de poivre, the sauce was spectacular but we would have liked the fillet to be more tender.
The tartar was spectacular with mustard and chopped onion
The souffle with the grand marnier was tasty.
The service was super friendly and the interior felt cozy and authentic.

It was a nice experience. The restaurant is so cosy and the staff are very welcoming. The food was tasty. We had the pie and the eggs with truffle.

I took my husband here for his birthday and he said it was the best birthday dinner he ever had. I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype and it actually did. Everything was fantastic, from the food to the service. We both had the steak and fries and it was an easy 10/10. For dessert we ordered the souffle and it was very unique but good as well, very light. Also important to note – we called at midday and got a reservation for that same night. When we arrived there were several persons who came as walk ins and they all got though and fairly quickly as well.
