Le Petit Moulin — Restaurant in Paris

This was a genuine last minute, spur-of-the-moment choice.

It was so busy, we expected disappointment. However, a wonderful couple (we assume regulars) who had almost finished their meal gave up their table so we could be seated. Ever grateful to them: they were a lovely couple and seemed to be having a wonderful evening, their generosity was so kind.

We were seated, and made simple requests: "Charcuterie and fromage, s'il vous plait, and wine!"

What followed was the most delicious, delightful plate of both, in the most fun, welcoming place we've been to in Paris. Great music, extremely friendly local clientele, wonderful service which kept the wine flowing just as we needed...

We had the most terrific evening. So incredibly relaxed, we sat for as long as needed to demolish the food and enjoy several glasses, and never felt rushed - in fact, it felt like we could have stayed all evening. The sort of place I'd return to in a heartbeat if I ever come...

I would recommend it specially if you can get in the 2nd floor as I suspect it has a nice view, its window is not toward the town down the hill tho. it's also right in front a really cool bar ( I spent a lot of time there ), making it easier ( :D ) to wait...

This place has a very good local rustic vibe and it’s right across my hotel. Very nice and friendly people. It’s a small cozy place which seems to be run by a group of friends. The serveur was very welcoming and polite, and the cook always checked on me if I liked the food.

I had a beer, a ribeye steak cooked the way I liked, and a I had a French onion soup to go. I got to meet the owner PJ who apparently knows how to speak Filipino. What a great guy! He even offered me a shot of his rum and fruits concoction. I’ll definitely be back here more than once while I...
