Description: Le Petit Pontoise...Aussi is found just steps from Notre Dame and serves food made from only the very freshest of produce. A good choice for gourmets and food lovers, here you can indulge in snails cooked in a creamy brie sauce, cheese fondant with honeyed almonds and walnuts or foie gras and apple chutney for starters followed by a fabulous fresh fish of the day or for meat lovers the delicious veal with ravigotte sauce; coq au vin or chateaubriand with pepper sauce. Dessert should not be missed either. Le Petit Pontoise...Aussi also has a terrace that is great for al fresco dining.

This is a cute little restaurant that was around the corner from our hotel. Make a reservation. It was totally full--mostly with French patrons. We loved the scallops! Our waiter was helpful and very charming.

Can it be that Le Petit Pontoise is still in business after 30 years? We used to come here as students in the 1980s while attending the Sorbonne. It was a good hearty meal with fresh French ingredients back then, and it still is! Thank goodness we are no longer on a student's budget, however! Life in Paris has gotten... More

Really good food on the Left Bank near the Seine and Notre Dame. Nice French h couple run the place. English spoken. Must book or come before the French typically late dinner hour.

Small intimate restaurant not far from Notre Dame. We especially enjoyed the eggplant appetizer as well as the ravioli appetizer. The apple tartin was delicious - save room! The chicken and the beef entrees were also very, very good. Overall a great meal in Paris!

A small, intimate place in the Latin Quarter with delicious food at moderate prices. Even with a zillion great restaurants all around us, we chose to go back here a second time during our vacation.

The little restaurant located in a small street not far from the notre dame. great food and atmosphere. Excellent service, good wine. A bit expensive. Every dish we tried was delicious. Since the restaurant is very small we suggest to make a reservation - around 7:00 PM it was full. Surely we'll come back to eat here in our next... More

Lovely French red wine complimented our main course.Desserts were most satisfying. We were hassled by two partying college types as we waited for a taxi and our waiter came out of the... More

Dropped in for a Monday night dinner during our recent visit to Paris, our 4th time at this bistro since 2011. Despite having dined at many Parisian bistros, this is still our favourite. It's a charming little place, with great food at reasonable prices. And the staff are friendly, efficient and always willing to speak English. We will be back... More
