Le Repaire de Cartouche in Paris

"Awesome, don't forget to reserve your seat before arrive..."

"I'm a big fan of this place for a wonderful lunch. I've dined with them for both their set lunch during the week, and for their amazing Sunday set menu which I can't recommend enough. Chef Rodolphe is a convivial and jovial host, who will happily regale you with a good story, and chat about the finer details of his menu. He's known as the King of Terrines for good reason. The Sunday menu is incredible value, with a selection of oysters, seafood, terrine and salads to start, followed by roast chicken, frites and bearnaise, and cheeses and desserts. All I can say is just book it, book it right now and have a wonderful time! Great wine list, friendly hosts who were very patient with my not very good French, and lovely atmosphere."

"It was my first time going here and it was an interesting and different experience.He had a very skilled and respected chef, a tall, experienced man who was very kind and loving. The fig and chocolate dessert was excellent, as was the main course, which was venison.The white wine was excellent, but the red wine was not of good quality at all."

"Very pleasant surprise in this restaurant. Walked in after having a hard time finding any place to eat in the area without reservation and Le Repaire de Cartouche did not disappoint. Very french but very warm welcome by the hostess, staff and chefs. Some are more aggressive but you feel it’s part of the vibe of the place which makes you feel you left Paris to a more authentic French village. The complimentary fishy “rilette” is actually very nice. The starters are also very nice with a delicous foie gras made in-house and very peculiar dishes with even more peculiar ingredients: oysters tartare, terrine de lievre,… In mains, I had the parmentier de lievre which has the chef-d’œuvres of the lunch. Not a lot of fuss, just very good ingredients and taste and definitely not to miss. The way they serve the cheese plate for desert is also super nice with a huge tray of cheese that circulates between the tables. Overall a good experience to try, and maybe even to come back to for trying different dishes. Price wise, it is still quite expensive if you compare it to any other regular bistrot, but you are definitely getting very good ingredients and originality in your dishes that justify this price difference. Side note: it is very cute that they sell hundreds of jars of their different dishes that you can buy and take away. These jars are very pricey but also add to the “fait-maison” feeling of this location."

"Honestly, just go here - its super. Worth every dime. Based on a true story."

"Run, don’t walk to Le Repaire de Cartouche. Incredible food, great staff, fun time. Come on Sunday for the brunch buffet, it’s undefeated. I hope you like terrines!"

"Beautiful place with a warm atmosphere and gorgeous food. They were very kind to me despite my rusty grasp on french, and i really felt welcomed at this place. best night in paris was largely due to dinner here."

"Eggplant was amazing. Food just yummy. Quirky place."
