Le Bistrot du Temple

One of our best meals in Paris for the price. Excellent atmosphere and not touristy. Very helpful service. Very happy we found it thanks to Unilocal

Such a beautiful meal! The owner Pascal was so welcoming and talked with us in depth about the dishes and the seasonal menu which could change day to day. This restaurant is a gem! We had the goat cheese ravioli and the Camembert pear tart for the starters. Then we had the pork tenderloin and the duck with butternut squash. The sommelier beautifully paired a wine with our dishes and then came dessert which was equally fantastic. With coffee our bill was 113 euro. Such a great price for an excellent meal and perfect service!

Just came back from a great dinner at Bistrot du Temple. It is on a quiet side alley off of Rue de Bretagne. Service was fantastic and equal to the food provided. Despite our language handicap, every item was explained in detail and with enthusiasm. And the food itself was truly extraordinary. Our appetizer, the «very special» gazpacho, was really tasty and absolutely unique. Definitely not a traditional bowl of soup. The two main plates we ordered were also excellent, one with pork tenderloins and the other with jumbo shrimp. Finally, the desserts were both very special (we couldn’t stick to just one so we had the «strawberry symphony» and the brownie). When we tried to decide which one was better, we really could not decide; both were phenomenal. By the way, every one of the dishes were presented in a truly appealing manner. It made both of us hesitate before digging in (but not for long, if we’re being honest).

My husband and I ate here on our last night in Paris and so glad we gave this place a try since it didn’t have many Unilocal reviews and was not super busy compared to other restaurants. Our meals were so delicious and the service was excellent! I had the monk fish entrée and it was prepared so well, it tasted like lobster! My husband got the chicken entrée which was full of juice & flavor. Our waiter also recommended the white wine pairings which he was spot on. I highly recommend this restaurant, it was definitely the best meal we had in Paris! It also did not feel «touristy» which we very much appreciated!

Il y a des endroits qui vous font regretter qu’il n’y ait pas 6 étoiles. Et je né dis pas ça à la légère. Ce petit restaurant caché entre le marché aux enfants rouges et le carreau du temple (bientôt un grand centre sportif et culturel), est un joyaux de gastronomie française, délicatesse, présentation, goût, service attentionné et humain, il y’a tout ce qu’on attend d’un bon dîner au resto sans se ruiner. Et en plus c’était avec un Groupon! Le service et l’accueil étaient vraiment exemplaire. Et la nourriture un vrai régal pour les yeux comme pour les papilles. Produits frais, belle vaisselle. Que dire encore… essayez-​le! Je cite le propriétaire: nous sommes souvent sur La Fourchette, profitez-​en.
Bön, d’accord je né suis jamais allée à la Tour d’Argent ou Joël Robuchon (si qq un veut m’y inviter d’ailleurs…) mais comme expérience de resto «ordinaire» qu’elle découverte!

I need 6^th star for this one. And I dont say that lightly. I had a Groupon for this small restaurant in the Marais, near Rue Charlot, so I head over there with a friend and it ended up being such a wonderful experience. Great food, fresh products, great presentation, friendly and attentive service, this was quite a surprise. Even the plateware was noteworthy. The experience was all around elegant, in taste, look, and service. I highly recommend you try it first chance your get. In the owner’s words, they regularly have deals on the site La Fourchette (the fork), so take advantage of it. You won’t regret it. And you won’t break the bank either.
Mind you, I have never been to La Tour d’Argent or Joel Robuchon (feel free to treat me, anyone…) but for an «everyday» kind of restaurant it was really great.

–40% du prix sur la carte le midi.
Plats très coloré, de nouveau goût pour les papilles, des recettes qui changent des plats commun. L’ambiance est sympa surtout à l’étage.

Un bon restaurant pour se faire plaisir !
On est accueilli chaleureusement et servi avec le sourire par ce qui a tout l’air d’un couple.
Dans l’assiette, c’est une cuisine raffinée et pleine de saveurs. Personnellement j’ai testé un steak de thon aux légumes. Le thon était tendre et délicieusement assaisonné. Un régal ! En dessert, pain perdu aux pépites de chocolat avec confiture de figues à se rouler par terre. Bref, c’est recommandé !
Niveau porte-​feuille, les entrées sont entre 10 et 15 € et les plats entre 15 et 20. Compter entre 8 et 10 € pour un dessert.

My wife and I enjoyed a meal at the newly opened Le Bistrot du Temple in the Marais a week ago. The overall experience was wonderful. This would surely be the best restaurant in my hometown of 90,000 in the States. For appetizers, my wife had a delicious smoked salmon (slightly thicker cut) with a drizzle of walnut oil, and a sauce made of creamed bell pepper and «yuzu» (a Japanese citrus fruit like a lemon), and I had goat cheese raviolis with a sauce made of pureed fresh tomatoes and tarragon. For dinner, my wife had «canette» (ie, the breast of a small female duck … not to be confused with the canard!) with thyme flower and roasted garlic, accompanied by tasty mashed potatoes. And I had a simply prepared grilled salmon fillet (first treated with sea salt and then seared), served with julienned vegetables and a side of rocket and parmesan. Both were outstanding. We shared a simple dessert of red berries in syrup with herb-​infused crème fraiche. With two glasses of wine, the total bill came to 90 euros.
More striking than the food was the service. If you are looking for a break from the indifference, or in some cases, outright hostility to Americans in Paris, this is a bistrot for you. The patron was genuinely happy to serve us. When I broke out my high school French, he answered in French; when my wife spoke English, he answered in English. It was one of the few times on our vacation when my less than perfect French accent was not answered by brusque, equally-​accented English. Really, this is an oasis in the Marais.

le restaurant qui se nomme depuis peu le bistrot du temple est juste fabuleux. accueil sympa, décoré avec goût, je recommande à tout le monde d’y aller pour prendre un repas digne d’un restaurant gastronomique à un prix très abordable. j’y retournerai volontiers manger ces plats d’une originalité que l’on né trouve pas partout malheureusement.

Un peu deçue par le service (serveur pas tres causant) qui etait relativement long Sinon les plats etaient tres bons le décor du restau sympa, ambiance musicale discrete, prix abordables

Je suis un client du midi. C’est simple, il n’y a pas meilleur rapport qualité/​prix dans le quartier. C’est bon (TRES bon), ils sont sympas, le tartare de st jacques est dingue N’hésitez pas.

Bonne petite adresse… Cuisine française (foie gras, entrecôte, confit de canard…) inspiration sud-​ouest, avec une très bonne carte des vins.

Mon amie a connu ce resto par le guide malin des resto de Paris, en juin.
Et nous sommes retournés, il y a quelques jours, je né regrette aucunement.
L’ambiance est bonne enfant même familiale. On se regale en lisant l’ardoise et le choix est difficile…
Le pavé de veau au St Marcelin est un régal, pour le dessert il faut mieux choisir le trio, on se fait une petit idée pour la prochaine fois.
N’hesitez pas à y aller pour passer une soiréé détente et no stress…

Le 19/​11/​2009, mon épouse et moi avons déjeuné au Gayridon. Nous avons pris la formule à 10 euros: plat + dessert: coq au vin avec aligot et petite salade de mesclun, crème brûlée en dessert.
Avec un quart de beaujolais nouveau dont c’était le jour d’arrivée, le tout était excellent avec un trés bon rapport qualité/​prix. Décor et acceuil sympa, nous recommandons ce restaurant.
