L'Auberge des Deux Ponts in Paris

"As most of the reviews here have already mentioned, we highly recommend the duck confit which came with a side of mashed potatoes. This is a one-man show with the owner also being the wait staff and cook. He was warm & welcoming. The duck was moist with a perfectly crispy crust. The potatoes were delicious. The profiteroles & creme brulee were amazing. The restaurant itself is cozy and quaint. It's what I envisioned 60s France to be. The dining experience was just very wholesome."

"I first came here when traveling with my friend in 2017. It was incredible. Claude does everything solo! It’s delicious, authentic French dining and reasonably priced. When I came back to Paris in 2025, this time with my son, of course we had to come. Somehow, it was even better. Don’t miss this one."

"We came back here for the first time in quite a few years, and it was just as we remembered - great French traditional atmosphere, very nicely cooked traditional French food, and such a lovely way to spend an evening. I can only recommend it"

"This restaurant feels like the French version of a farm-to-table eatery in the U.S. We arrived early and were warmly greeted by the owner—only to realize later that he was also the chef and the waiter. The experience felt intimate and personal, as if we were dining in someone’s home rather than a restaurant. Every dish was incredibly authentic, made with care and precision. The flavors were rich and traditional, showcasing classic French culinary techniques. The atmosphere was cozy and unpretentious, adding to the charm. If you’re looking for a genuine, old-school French dining experience, this place is a hidden gem."

"Amazing. Funny kind character chef owner who does it all - one man doing it all. Local, gorgeous ambiance. Escargot and duck confit amazing. Hidden gem!"

"Very nice French restaurant ! We had a great dinner. If you want to have an authentic French dinner you have to go there. The chef is super nice and he is also the cook and the waiter. The price is super good for a dinner in Paris at a 10/10 location. We paid 25€ for a 2 course menu. If i wrote a travel guide it would definitely be in it."

"Tres tres tres délicieux ! Our fourth time here with Bea Chef ! We love you ! This is my third time here ! So third time 5* even more ! And no words do describe ! Amazing experience with the best chef. It was my third time here. Only reservation and must have is crème brûlée authentic"

"We had an elegant authentic French dinner served by a guy (owner-waiter-chef-cashier) in the white t-shirt. The octopus (a must order in my opinion), the duck (a must order if you eat meat), and everything else was delicious! The presentation was great! The price was very reasonable. My heart was broken when I saw all these people checked the menu outside and decided to move on, they didn’t know what they were missing."
