Aux Petits Oignons, French restaurant in the 20th arrondissement, Paris
Aux Petits Oignons is a small French restaurant in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, close to the Pelleport metro station. The menu features classic French dishes such as beef Parmentier, celery remoulade, fresh pasta, and homemade desserts prepared daily by the kitchen team.
The restaurant was taken over by Paul Vanier and Laura Cazanet in May 2008, who turned it into a straightforward, welcoming place for the local area. Since then it has become a steady fixture of everyday life in the 20th arrondissement.
The name of the restaurant means "the little onions" in French, a phrase that also carries the sense of caring about small details. The place draws regulars from the neighborhood who come for lunch and linger over conversation at shared tables.
The restaurant is closed on Mondays and open for both lunch and dinner the rest of the week. Because the space is small and fills up with regulars, booking ahead is a good idea.
The restaurant is also listed as a proposal spot, meaning some visitors have chosen this ordinary dining room for a very personal moment. This mix of everyday simplicity and special occasions fits well with how the neighborhood treats the place.
