Bouillon Chartier: Reviews & Ratings

We passed by here on our way to another restaurant and decided that we should try this one as it’s so busy and had long queue outside. It opens at 1130 and we were there around 1145 so we did not have to wait so long (there were still some space inside). They gave us menu after seating us but they were in french. I tried to ask from a few people but they didn’t stop to ask me what I needed. And a server told me “I’m working on the other side of the alley” therefore he didn’t help me. He was rude and I was stunned. Finally we ordered after I google translated the menu. The server wrote our order on the table cover/paper. The escargot and foie gras came and they were good. Then came our duck breast and duck confit. They were good. Not wow. We then asked for the bill and the server added our meal prices on the table cover/paper. It was interesting and I said, “wow they need to do maths?!” All in all, it was ann experience. The servers wow, they carried maybe 10 plates in one go. Or 5 bottles at a time. Try it.

Perfect for a lunch break after shopping along the Grand Boulevard Opéra, this popular traditional French restaurant is a great choice. It offers classic “grandmother-style” French dishes—hearty, comforting, and full of flavor—at reasonable prices for such a lively and touristy area. Guests are served in a spacious dining room featuring charming 1930s Art Deco décor. The service is excellent, efficient, and attentive. The only downside is that it can be quite noisy during peak hours due to the high number of diners.

The food here was great! I ordered the Duck Confit with Potatoes and my friend ordered the Vegetarian Spaghetti, we ordered 6 escargot to share and 1 coke each. Everything tasted great but I personally felt my potatoes were just soaked in oil/butter. This may just be personal preference though!! The service was great! Our waiter was kind and made lots of small talk. One downside is that it took a while for us to be seated. We entered and waited in the waiters line of sight as we were unsure if this was a ‘seat yourself’ restaurant or a ‘wait to be seated’ restaurant. Turns out you need to wait but there was no sign which made us a bit confused. Our waiter had speedy service and we enjoyed every moment! The price is fine for the quality and although the dishes look a bit small they are very filling. I highly recommend!!!
