“ I stumbled upon this restaurant by pure chance and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. Since I didn’t have a reservation, I had to sit at a bistro table, but it didn’t take away from the experience at all. The service was outstanding, the staff were incredibly attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. Make sure to book a reservation — the place gets very busy! ”
“ My mother and I had a wonderful experience dining at Au Petit Riche. We were visitors from the United States and dined here at the recommendation of our hotel. Our waitress was attentive, positive, and gave excellent food recommendations. Our dinner and dessert, as expected, were authentic and delicious. This restaurant is particularly suitable for wheelchairs, especially with a reservation. They have a wheelchair accessible entrance further down the street with tables to dine comfortably and peacefully. Our waitress was particularly helpful assisting with the wheelchair as needed. Should we return to Paris, we will definitely return to Au Petit Riche! ”
“ Au Petit Riche is a good restaurant that could be a great restaurant. The service was excellent, the atmosphere consistent with being one of the oldest eating places in Paris, but the food was overpriced for what you receive. It's not just portion size, it's the quality of the selection and arrangement if the meal on the plate. Don't misunderstand, it's good food, but inconsistent with the price you'll pay. ”
“ Fantastic experience! The Herring appetizer was absolutely delicious, and the vegetarian main course was out of this world. Highly recommend! ”
“ A dive into the past, from the décor to the waiters’ uniforms. Recommended by a French colleague, every dish turned out to be exceptional (including the onion soup that my colleagues had, which was truly amazing). A beautiful finish with crème brûlée! Highly recommended! Thank you also to our waiter for her kindness and all the suggestions! ”
“ We decided to visit the restaurant after hearing positive reviews. We arrived as a party of two for dinner, curious to see if it would live up to its reputation. For starters, we ordered the French onion soup and a roasted beet salad with two types of beets. Initially, the soup looked promising – it was served in a large bowl and had a creamy appearance. However, we quickly discovered that the bowl was mostly filled with caramelized onions and barely any broth. As a result, the dish ended up being overly sweet and unbalanced, almost to the point of being difficult to eat. Essentially, it didn't resemble a soup at all. The roasted beet salad, on the other hand, was enjoyable. The combination of flavors was interesting, mainly thanks to the cheeses that accompanied the dish. The presentation was also appealing. While the salad was pleasant, it didn't stand out with particularly unique flavors. For the main courses, we chose the traditional veal stew and a sea bass fillet. Both dishes were well-prepared and flavorful, and we genuinely enjoyed them. To accompany our meal, we ordered a chilled white wine, which turned out to be a great choice and reasonably priced. Overall, the experience was somewhat mixed. While the main courses and wine were satisfying, the disappointing onion soup left us feeling that the meal didn’t fully meet our expectations. ”
“ Came here for the quenelle, the sauce was beautiful warm orange, looks appetizing. It tasted good, but just not as delicious as the one I had before, a bit pitty. The dessert crème brûlée was very good, a nice choice for sweet lover. The restaurant was more spacious than it looked from outside. ”
