Recommendation for Affordable French Cuisine in Paris

Randomly found this French restaurant on Google with 900+ reviews averaging 4.2 stars. Packed with French locals—so you know it’s legit! 🦆 Duck Confit (Cuisse de canard, 22€): Crispy, golden skin with rich savory flavor—absolutely delicious! The meat inside is tender and juicy, though lightly seasoned. A pinch of salt elevates its natural taste. Served with buttery potatoes pan-fried to perfection, but the real star is the garlic! Even as someone who usually avoids garlic, I devoured three cloves—mellow sweetness with no sharpness, just aromatic butteriness. The slightly chewy skin adds great texture. Eat it hot—it loses magic as it cools. 🐮 Beef Tartare with Fries (Tartare boeuf, 19€): Zero gaminess, perfectly balanced acidity, and finely minced seasonings. Each bite surprises—maybe a kick of onion, maybe a hint of fennel—layered flavors! Spread it on sourdough for extra yum. 🧅 Onion Soup (Soupe ognion, 12€): Didn’t order it, but saw multiple tables savoring it with enthusiastic nods. Must be heavenly—worth a try! 📍 La Grille Montorgueil 50 Rue Montorgueil, 75002 Paris 🚶 3-min walk from Châtelet, 11-min from Pompidou 💰 20-30€ per person (no drinks), walk-ins welcome Like, save, and follow for more! #Paris #ParisTravel #ParisFood #ParisEats #FrenchCuisine #FoodRecommendation #LifeInFrance #ParisLife #HiddenGems
