We walked into La Poule au Pot purely by chance, with no reservation and no idea of its history or the chef behind it. We were simply looking for a warm meal after a long day in Paris, and what we found turned out to be one of the most memorable dining experiences of our trip.
From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was welcoming. The service was exceptional. The lady who attended to us was like a mother to everyone. Kind, attentive, and genuinely warm. She made sure we were comfortable and even let me charge my phone, which was running low. The entire staff made us feel right at home.
We ordered the escargot, the French onion soup which was incredibly rich and flavorful, a beautifully cooked steak that became our favorite of the night, and the poule au pot—a classic chicken and broth dish that was deeply comforting and satisfying.
We would like to thank the staff of this lovely place for the wonderful experience...

I was thrilled to see the restaurant was still there and still fantastic! A classic, wonderful, Parisian restaurant frequented by locals. The staff are very friendly and happy to help, the beer is great! But the food…good God. It was a chilly rainy night when we went so a bowl of l’oignon gratinee was in order and perfect! Flavorful, hot, and cheesy…mmmm. And then…the poule au pot, served in a copper kettle piping hot. So flavorful, the chicken falls off the bone and everything is delicious. Make this a stop when in Paris you won’t...
Read moreWhat a great little place!! We had the 'formula', which is a three set course meal, and I couldn't fault it. The carrot soup starter was really good. The main was a 'square of pork cutlet' with potato puree, and dessert was a cherry tart. I can honestly say that I was NOT hungry after the meal - it was delicious!! Everything had fantastic flavour, and generous portion sizes. Fast friendly service, and really nice people. 10/10 Sorry - no photos, as I ate everything too fast - just my cuppa which was served...
