If you love the gems of the Belle Époque, then you’ll love Au Petit Riche. This institution nestled in the 9th arrondissement can boast of having welcomed some of the most famous people to its tables! Artists, actors, and even presidents of the Republic up to the Third Republic (except Sarkozy, Hollande, and Macron) have been flocking here for over 100 years. It must be said that with its magnificent, perfectly restored setting, it feels as if time has stood still. Between its cozy adjoining rooms, magnificent woodwork, and cozy atmosphere, everything is designed to make you want to stay…
The menu showcases the best of French cuisine. Here you’ll find forgotten dishes, some of which are a little old-fashioned, that will take you back to your childhood: tender veal blanquette, a delicious onion soup gratinée with Comté cheese, or a gargantuan farm-raised pork chop. Of course, those with a sweet tooth will be treated to classics such as a perfectly made crème brûlée or chocolate mousse served by the ladleful. The dishes are well prepared and generously served!
A wonderful place, open every day, that deserves to be better known!
