We came here upon the recommendation of a friend and could not have been more pleased. It was our last night in Paris so we wanted to splurge. Turns out, it was only a splurge on how wonderful the food was! There were three of us and we each had appetizers, entrees, desserts and two bottles of wine. The bill... More

We booked for an early dinner and was one of the first to get there. It was absolutely amazing. The service was slow -one poor waiter running the whole shop but the food more than made up for it. It was definitely value for money -the escargots are a must!

My wife and I visited this restaurant on the evening of the 17th having booked after reading several reviews. Yes decor tired, yes very cramped, yes mainly tourist clientele, but my word what a steak!!! The atmosphere is friendly and the starters were excellent but my wife and I both had steak topped with fois gras for our mains and... More

This was our first visit to Paris and so we looked for good reviews before making our choice of where to eat on our first night. Fortunately, we decided to phone and make a booking, wouldn't have got in without! There's nothing swish, or fancy about the place but the food is just to die for! Do yourself a favour... More

We have visited Chez Toinette about eight times over the last fifteen, or more, years and will continue to do so. The restaurant is very small, with a seating area of probably no more than 20 square metres and fourteen tables, but it makes up for it with a great atmosphere and superb food, all hidden behind the most discrete...

A tiny restaurant, with a miniscule kitchen, in a lovely part of Paris. Bookings are 100% necessary as it is full every evening, and rightly so. All choices on the menu looked absolutely delicious, and tasted wonderful. Unpretentious fayre, value for money, and the proprietor (I guess Toinette herself), is one of the most efficient waitresses I have ever seen!... More

Tucked away, you could easily pass this cosy restaurant. What a hidden gem! It has a great atmosphere, friendly staff and food is simply delicious.

I had the best steak of my life in this restaurant last week, which forgives all the minor issues, Even though the service is pretty slow (3 courses from 9:30PM to 11:30PM) and a bit chaotic (they forgot our dessert reservation) it worth every minute to wait and have the nice culinary experience. They could do some upgrade on the... More

After having studied Tripadvisor for ages and numerous guide books trying to find a typical small French Restaurant in the Montmartre area serving authentic food and used by locals, I decided to make a reservation at the Chez Toinette as this place seemed to fit the bill perfectly. First impressions were good, even though the place is in desperate need... More

We loved the menu, the food, and the atmosphere and service was excellent. We had scallops atop eggplant (ok) and this delicious and unique thinly sliced veal with balsamic vinaigrette. For the main dish we had lamb shank, so delicious, and sea bass served with the most amazing potato au gratin. For dessert we had creme brûlée and baked pear... More
