07/03/2026: Disappointed by lunch! The filling in the daily special was really bland; the mashed potatoes were delicious! Lasagna with only one layer of pasta? And tasteless. Unacceptable! It's a shame, the setting is nice.

02/03/2026: We came on a Saturday evening as a couple, no complaints, the atmosphere was authentic, the food was homemade... Just one small issue: the service was rushed. After our aperitif, we realized there was a second seating and we couldn't linger...

10/03/2026: There are restaurants in Paris where you eat well. And then there are restaurants where you eat like you're in a Maupassant hunting novel. À La Biche au Bois clearly belongs to the latter category. Just steps from the Bastille, this establishment has cultivated for decades a style that the capital has almost forgotten: that of the old-fashioned bourgeois inn. White tablecloths, a warm dining room with patinated wood paneling, and a menu so long you could use it as a bedside book. You enter here as if you were stepping into a provincial inn, seemingly placed there by chance, between two buildings in the 12th arrondissement. And that's precisely what makes it so charming. The restaurant has long cultivated a specialty that has become rare in Paris: game. On the menu, roe deer, doe, wild duck, or Scottish grouse serve as a reminder that here, French culinary tradition is not a marketing concept but a true gastronomic hunting ground. My lunch begins with a planter's punch, cheerful and fragrant, accompanied by a small bowl of dry sausage. A simple yet effective touch that I truly appreciate. I choose one of the daily specials, which immediately sets the tone: guinea fowl pâté en croûte with morels and pistachios. The slice arrives large, generous, almost audacious. The crust is golden and crumbly, the filling fragrant. The guinea fowl brings its delicate flavor, the morels their earthy depth, and the pistachios a delightful crunch. Around it, a few crudités and gherkins serve as a tangy honor guard. It's the kind of pâté en croûte that reminds us that French charcuterie is a true art form. In my glass, one of the wines of the month: Esprit Sauvage Pic Saint-Loup 2024 Lambrusques, from the Pic Saint-Loup appellation. It's one of my favorite easy-drinking wines. A typical blend from the Languedoc and Montpellier region, dominated by Syrah and Grenache, it offers just the right amount of dark fruit, spice, and freshness to complement robust dishes. A straightforward, flavorful wine that doesn't try to impress but does its job perfectly: enhancing the pleasure. And then comes the centerpiece: the venison casserole with prunes. The meat is tender, almost confit, coated in a rich, dark sauce. The prunes provide a touch of sweetness that harmonizes beautifully with the richness of the game and transforms the dish into a declaration of love for classic French cuisine. Alongside it sits a homemade mashed potato of almost scandalous sweetness. This dish alone encapsulates the spirit of the establishment: its generosity, its tradition, and its unadulterated pleasure, free from any dietary considerations. After this tour de force, it's time for the selection of matured cheeses. I choose three: a Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine, a Bleu des Causses, and a Pont-l'Évêque. A trio that evokes the aroma of a fine aging cellar and reminds us that in France, cheese isn't a mere detail, but an institution. And because we must finish, the all-chocolate plate arrives: a cake smothered in a generous chocolate sauce, accompanied by ice cream. But what truly distinguishes À La Biche au Bois, beyond the food, is the pace of the place. The service is attentive, warm, and never rushed. You can linger at the table for a long time, a very long time even, without ever feeling like you're taking up too much space. And when the bill arrives, around 80 euros for an aperitif, a full menu, cheese, dessert, and wine, I think to myself that Paris still holds a few hidden gems. In an era where many restaurants strive to surprise, À La Biche au Bois does better: it reassures and delights. The food is hearty, the drinks are excellent, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Above all, you leave with the rare feeling of having rediscovered the spirit of the great French inns. Just one piece of advice for your first visit: arrive with a hearty appetite... and set aside the afternoon to yourself.

09/12/2025: I went for a community meal... large hall... which seats about 200 people at tables of 12... but you couldn't hear yourself speak... the acoustics need improvement... this is for the owners to address... once the meal was over, we left... as did other people. There was a DJ playing. I won't be going back under such conditions... what a shame. Very good wine... I personally prefer red in certain situations...

29/11/2025: We are incredibly grateful to the staff at this Mas. They welcomed us with immense kindness. After explaining our situation to the young woman in the shop, we were able to spend a wonderful night in lovely, very comfortable rooms, and we enjoyed a truly generous breakfast served by a very helpful gentleman. It was absolutely extraordinary and warmed our hearts. The setting is magnificent. Thank you so much for your kindness.
