Le Rouge aux Lèvres sur Paris

Frequented many times before confinement, I have always appreciated this establishment for its cuisine and its conviviality. My flagship dish, Angus, tender and oozy, my wife's, octopus, cooked to perfection. We returned there in July this year with a couple of friends to introduce them to this nice restaurant. What a desappointment!!!! My Angus, a disaster: firm, tasteless, overcooked. The octopus, same fight, rubbery and tasteless. In short, I don't know if there was a change of chef in the kitchen or suppliers but the quality is no longer there! Too bad, because there aren't many good restaurants in the area. For us, finished, we will look elsewhere. Two stars all the same for the glorious past... I am revising my evaluation following a dinner several years after my difficult experience in 2020. Well I must say that the establishment has rectified the situation brilliantly. I found everything I appreciated in the past, the right cuisine, a friendly welcome, the most jovial atmosphere. To be continued....

Updated February 23, 2024: Since my post of January 23, I go back regularly since it is near my house. The lunch menu at 21 euros starter, main course, dessert is of a very good standard and is always fresh. We finally tested the “king” dish on the menu (the evening menu only): Philippe Jacq-style veal sweetbreads. It's a pure marvel, made to order, it gives you time to share a strataciella over a good drink, laughs are lightly breaded accompanied by a "little" (for its delicious and cute side) veal jus. Washed down with an exceptionally good grand cru Riesling from Alsace. Unforgettable. Long live sweetbreads! 😃 January 23: The pleasant surprise of the year in the Avron district! Bistro Gastro/Wine bar Traditional and original cuisine (made just right) with love in it. The chef is an epicurean and you can feel it on the plate. A very rich wine list by the glass (which is rare) and let yourself be carried away by the tasty advice of the establishment's waitress-sommelier. Fresh products. A card renewed very often. Impeccable service. Sublime sweetbreads. All this for a very competitive price which gives you the combo of death: starter+main course+dessert+2 glasses of wine+the house liqueur (rhubarb, killer) 50 euros!

We had lunch there on February 19 at noon. The cuisine is inventive and excellent, the service fast and attentive. The quality/price ratio with a complete menu at €22.50 is exceptional in Paris. An excellent establishment.

Very nice discovery, a nice little restaurant with a menu of elaborate and tasty products.

We had lunch today with colleagues and this restaurant is a gem :) The cuisine is excellent, the wine and spirits list is well-stocked (a reference to add to the menu in our opinion, a small Pessac Léognan) and the staff are very friendly. There were 8 of us and we were all delighted. We recommend!

Perfect in every way. Come without hesitation

Excellent home cooking, fine and quality. Friendly, no-fuss atmosphere. Just the question of the front door being left open due to ventilation problems. We asked to be moved tables because we were in a draft and it was starting to get cold at the end of December.

This restaurant is simply a small one that deserves to be included in the Pudlowski guide. A pureed sausage to die for. Honest prices for perfectly mastered cuisine

Lieu très agréable. Le service est impeccable. La qualité de la cuisine est excellente. Tout donne envie. Bon rapport qualité/quantité/prix le midi.

Très bon restaurant. Cuisine impeccable. Service merveilleux ( un grand merci à la serveuse/sommelière)
