Chez Fernand offers a truly authentic French bistro experience with its classic atmosphere and red checkered tablecloths. The quality of the ingredients and the traditional preparation methods really stand out.
We started with the roasted bone marrow, which was incredibly rich and paired perfectly with the toasted bread. For the main course, the steak frites was a classic done right—the meat was cooked exactly as requested and the fries were perfectly crispy. We finished the meal with a crème brûlée, which had that satisfying crack on top and a smooth, creamy texture underneath.
Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for anyone looking for high-quality, honest French comfort food in a cozy setting. 4.5/5

We had no reservation but arrived a few minutes before”the rush” and were seated with a welcoming smile. My duck breast with sauce was devine along with roasted potatoes. My wife’s entrecôte was perfectly cooked and she commented on how delicious it was. Finally our close friend who ordered kidney also said that they were very good. I highly recommend this restaurant. Enjoy!

Great traditional french food in a very rustic and bustling atmosphere. We walked in on a busy Friday night and were seated within about 5–10 minutes. The staff were warm and welcoming, though service was understandably slow given how packed the restaurant was. It took around 15 minutes just to get the menu board, likely because they were waiting to bring us the English version.

We started with the escargots and foie gras terrine for appetizers and both were great. Super glad we decided to get the beef bourguignon. It was absolutely amazing. The beef cheek was very tender, literally fell apart and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Mussels in ginger creme sauce were also really good.

While it sometimes took a bit of effort to catch a waiter’s attention which is a testament to how bustling the restaurant was, the service itself moved smoothly once we ordered, and every dish arrived promptly and beautifully prepared. The restaurant is cozy, though seating is very cramped, but honestly, that’s part of the French bistro experience.

I had an unforgettable dining experience at Chez Fernand in Paris. From the moment I stepped inside, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and charm. The ambiance is everything you hope for in a classic Parisian bistro cozy wooden beams, softly glowing lighting, lively conversations, and an atmosphere that feels both intimate and authentically French. It’s the kind of place that makes you instantly feel at home. The food was exceptional. The smoked salmon was fresh, silky, and beautifully presented with crisp greens and a bright touch of lemon. The green bean salad was simple yet flavorful, with a lovely balance of texture and seasonings. And the tarte tatin was perfection caramelized apples cooked just right, tender and rich, resting on a warm, buttery crust. A dessert that truly captures the comfort and elegance of French cuisine. The service elevated the entire experience.

Special thanks to Sandy and Emma, whose attentive and genuinely kind care made the evening feel extra special. And an especially warm thank you to James for the delightful greeting that set the perfect tone for the night. Adding to it all, the young and vibrant neighborhood around the restaurant is perfect for continuing the evening with after-dinner drinks. It’s lively without being overwhelming a great place to wander, explore, and soak in more of Paris.
If you’re looking for delicious French cuisine, heartfelt service, and a charming, energetic setting, Chez Fernand is an absolute must. I’ll definitely be returning.

This is what you imagine a hep French chic dinner in Paris would feel like. A small restaurant that serves the best meals. The beef bourguignon is tender with a savory stew that has sweet carrot which bring a delicious flavor. The ribeye steak is cooked to order, I chose medium rare, which came perfectly cooked. The sides included mashed potatoes and a side of bone marrow. There is a small mustard served with the steak which was a nice addition to spread on a few pieces of meat. I would definitely make an effort to try this restaurant. They welcome walk-ins, but a reservation never hurts. Don’t be afraid of the language barrier and try the escargot.

Absolutely love this restaurant! My husband and I visited in 2022 during our honeymoon. We recently just visited again and could not vacation without coming here again! The food is incredible, not to mention the service is outstanding. We ordered the bone marrow and escargot to start off with. So delicious! Then for our main course my husband had their beef bourguignon which in fact is legendary, I had their steak with pepper sauce and mashed potatoes! To finish off we ordered their creme brûlée and omg… chefs kiss!

Chez Fernand has been a Saint-Germain stalwart since 1970, the archetype of a Paris bistro with storied beams, gingham tables, and a room packed to the rafters. Bread is cut fresh from whole loaves on the sideboard – rustic, satisfying, almost perfect (9/10). My tuna with seasonal vegetables showed what “simple” really means: excellent produce, perfectly handled, flavour deepened by a bright counterpoint of herbs and acidity, a dish of humbling excellence (9.5/10). Dessert, a soupe de fraises with ice cream, sang with summer freshness and balance – strawberries and cream retold in Paris (9.5/10).

A truly lovely experience to dine!
Initially we wanted to eat somewhere else but it was full so we searched for another place to eat and found this restaurant in a very cute street.
The staff spoke English and very welcoming. Especially the younger guy seemed to enjoy his job a lot.

We had the ribeye steak and beef Bourguignon as mains and creme brulée as a dessert, which were exceptional! All dishes were fantastic. Especially the Beef Bourguignon was rich in flavor, filling and visually pleasing.
I strongly recommend this restaurant :))

Great find! Steak with bone marrow and silky mash and the beef bourginon were wonderful. Had the green bean salad and herring starters that were delicious too. Service is great.

A wonderful dining experience. We had a reservation but perhaps it wasn’t required for lunch on a weekday. We were seated near the door to enjoy the beautiful weather. The service and staff were friendly and quick. The food was delicious and I would definitely return.
