Le Bidou sur Paris

10/07/2025: The food is good and beautiful. The staff is attentive, but several waiters make fun of customers and chat with friends, making the atmosphere a bit strange. It's rather touristy and more pretentious than friendly. I think Paris has restaurants with better value for money and a much more pleasant atmosphere.

08/07/2025: WARNING. This place is mega expensive. Visited at the weekend. We were sat outside. The seats on the benches were really hard and uncomfortable and could really do with some cushioning. It is really hard where the seat meets the back rest. Now to the food. The terrine. Delicious and very generous. Could have done with some more of the dark sauce that came with it though. The octopus. Also exceptional. Cooked perfectly with great skill. The pork. Very very good. The fat rendered perfectly. The steak. Very good apparently I didn’t try it. The Bresse Chicken €42! . Awful. Tough, chewy, hard to cut. Very rustic and basic compared to the rest of the menu. Just served with a bit of ratatouille. Very surprising as this is supposed to be the best Chicken in the world. Was a disappointment. Because we were guests of friends we didn’t want to complain at the time. I have since emailed the restaurant with my comments and not received a reply. For two starters and 4 mains with two bottles of one of their 'cheaper' wines and two bottles of water it was €400. You'd think at these prizes you might get some vegetables or some sides thrown in? Without any sides the mains aren't huge. The female somm was stern and blunt bordering on rude but the other staff we dealt with seemed friendly enough. We weren't rushed to leave like some others have reported
