Bistrot des Vosges sur Paris

A wonderful experience! The welcome was warm and friendly. The food was excellent. And you absolutely must try the old plum brandy! 🤩 Highly recommended!

Super Charming with excellent table spacing and superb service, seriously. Known for its French onion soup and Alligot. As a foodie living in Paris, I was waiting on the arrival of cold weather to try this combo for myself. I can’t stress enough how everything was excellent, except the Alligot and the French onion soup. Don’t get me wrong, they were good, but not the best in Paris as I have been led to believe. I’m staring at an antique poster showing a customer pulling a long string of Allegott from the bowl, preparing to twirl it and take a bite. My Allegott seemed far too light on the cheese, and certainly did not string in any manner. It tasted like very delicious mashed potatoes. The garlic is served on the side and was super delicious, and I loaded my potatoes up with the garlic.. The onion soup was good, but much of the cheese below the bread had failed to melt, even though the soup was quite warm when it arrived at the table. I’m not a chef, it’s not my job. I’m just saying if this is A key part of your reputation, it really needs to live up to pretty high expectations. Hoping that this is a one-off. It’s such a charming place. I will definitely eat there again and would not hesitate to bring guests there as the other entrées were excellent 👌

We ordered the cheese tasting and the onion soup with Aligot. The onion soup is amazing. Let me just say it was the first time my partner wanted to choose a place to eat on her own. And if her choices are restaurants like this, I admit I'll make her choose a lot more restaurants 🤣

Excellent food and experience! My husband and I had the escargot, onion soup, aligot, ribeye, and the creme brunette. Everything was extremely good! Top-notch service too!

Decent food, but disappointing service. From the moment we arrived, the reception set the tone: the hostess was particularly unpleasant. We politely asked if it would be possible to change tables as soon as a seat became available on the terrace. Her response was a categorical "no," delivered in a cold, curt tone, without the slightest attempt at explanation or friendliness. As for the food, we ordered two tartares, which were truly excellent. Unfortunately, this was the only positive aspect of our lunch. The service, in fact, was subpar. The second waiter we dealt with was frankly unpleasant, and the third was no better. The entire team gave the impression of disliking their jobs and being tired of being there, which inevitably affected the other customers. To top it all off, when it came time to pay the bill, one of the cooks, who was taking his lunch break in the dining room, let out a loud belch, clearly audible to all the other customers. No apology, no sign of embarrassment, and no one on the staff seemed to find it inappropriate. It's a shame, because the quality of the food deserved service and presentation to match. We won't be back.

A wonderful discovery! The homemade lemonade is excellent. The food is delicious. The welcome and service were perfect!

A fabulous little spot serving traditional French cuisine! My partner and I loved it so much we went for dinner two nights in a row. Highly recommend the French onion soup and the Ambassadeur Spritz! Special mention to Yann for his exceptional service.

Ive had way better onion soup from a supermarket in the US. Cheese not cooked, broth was average and im being generous. The duck comfit was good, not great. Reviews said this was the best in Paris. Les Frenchies said it was wonderful. So far thier take on Paris is way off.

Charming place (street noise is unavoidable, and excellent food. But it’s true — they do suggest a tip, which tarnishes the experience.

We came to Bistro des Vosges specifically to try the aligot, so naturally we were curious to see whether this famous combination of mashed potatoes and melted cheese would live up to the hype. It looked wonderfully rich and comforting, but, unfortunately, the taste didn’t quite match my expectations. The sausages served with the aligot were a different story: they were absolutely delicious, even if they weren’t particularly impressive to look at. The onion soup and duck leg were also excellent and, overall, the food was very enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive, and we had a pleasant time at the restaurant. Unfortunately, there was one small issue that affected my overall impression. I happened to keep the receipt and, a few hours after leaving, noticed that we had been charged for two large draft beers even though we had ordered small ones. I’m sure this could easily have been sorted out had we checked the bill before leaving, so I wouldn’t consider it a major issue. Still, it’s worth taking a quick look at your receipt before you go. Overall, Bistro des Vosges is a pleasant place with good food, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. I would have happily given it an excellent rating if it weren’t for the billing mix-up.
