Le Bistrot Paul Bert hidden on a small street that branches off another small street is a true Parisian bistro usually noisy although fun and vivacious. The congenial owner Bertrand Auboyneau moves around the dining room engaging his customers in conversation.
The entrecôte frites was as expected, an excellent example of the bistro classic, the steak that was ordered rare, proved to be bit al dente although the meaty flavors jumped right out at you. The same management operates L’Ecailler du Bistrot another bistro serving all manner of fish dishes at inexpensive prices directly adjacent to Paul Bert.
If you order the 32 € prix fixe dinner menu it gives you a choice to choose almost every dish listed on the menu with only the most expensive items bearing a surcharge. It should be mentioned that Paul Bert has a well-chosen wine list to compliment the menu.
