At Paul’s, French restaurant in the 11th arrondissement, Paris
Chez Paul is a French restaurant in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, in the Charonne area near Bastille. The interior features wooden furniture, old posters on the walls, and warm lighting that gives the room a simple and unpretentious feel.
Chez Paul opened in 1900 and has been part of the neighborhood ever since. Over the decades, the restaurant has changed hands and seen the area around it transform, while keeping the same cooking traditions.
The restaurant is close to several metro stations, making it easy to reach on foot from the Bastille area. Arriving early in the evening is a good idea, as the last seats tend to fill up fast.
The menu changes daily based on what is fresh at the market that morning, so no two visits are quite the same. The kitchen is open to view, so guests can watch the chefs at work while they wait.
