Today, I discovered another face of french Cuisine: one that I don't like. No, I did not enjoy my time at Le Pouilly, but the blame is not all of the restaurant. I am mostly a vegetarian, with a few exceptions, and when I saw the menu, I almost skipped a beat! Head of calf, liver everywhere, pork feet, snails... a good 90% of the menu is meat, and even those that aren't, contain meat of some kind... at the end, I settled for a herring fillet and a tartare. None of them were as I expected.The herring was.. spiny. Is it really a thing to serve it with all the fishbones still in? They're tiny and cling to its flesh a lot.. I had to give up. The potatoes on the side were good, I guess?The tartar...

Today I discovered another face of French cuisine: one I don't like. No, I don't enjoy my time in Le Pouilly, but the guilt isn't the whole restaurant. I'm usually vegetarian, with some exceptions, and when I saw the menu, I almost skipped a beat! Head of calf, liver everywhere, pig feet, snails... A good 90% of the menu is meat, and even those who are not, contain meat of any kind... in the end, I have for a hering fillet and a tartare. None of them were as expected. The herring was.. Is it really one thing to use them with all the fish bones? They are tiny and cling to their flesh much. I had to give up. The potatoes on the side were good. The tartare was again a fish that was not really e...
I disagree with an earlier English review that this restaurant is outrageously expensive..We paid €125 for 2x3-course meals with a glass of wine and a brandy each and 2 coffees to finish. For Paris, that's not expensive.Wonderfully old fashioned building, popular with locals and very friendly staff who were tolerant of my limited French.Food was delicious typical French fayre.Whilst I wouldn't necessarily say it's worth going out of your way for, if you're in the area then it's certainly worthy of a visit and I'd have no problems returning in the future.

I do not agree with an earlier English review that this restaurant is extremely expensive. We paid € 125 for 2x3-course meals with a glass of wine and a brandy to finish each and 2 coffees. It's not expensive for Paris. Beautiful old fashion building, popular with locals and very friendly staff who were tolerant of my limited French. The food was delicious typical French Fayre. While I would not necessarily say that it is worth going out your way if you are in the area, then it is certainly worth a visit and I would not have any problems in the future.

Small, quirky, with traditional french dishes made very very well (best snails we had on our trip, for example). Feels like the perfect neighborhood restaurant, although might have to reserve it for special occasions (or order the set menu, that seems very reasonably priced). Friendly...staff, and well worth the trip and price
