Chez René, a classic French bistro located in the charming neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, offers authentic and flavorful French cuisine at reasonable prices. The ambiance is friendly and welcoming, with attentive and efficient service provided by skilled waiters. The interior design is vintage, featuring a cozy dining room and a beautiful outdoor terrace. The establishment is perfect for a romantic dinner or a casual lunch with friends.

The menu features traditional bistro dishes, such as beef bourguignon, lamb, fish, and steak tartare. The bone marrow starter is a must-try, as well as the herring and potatoes in oil, the Lyonnais sausage with lentils, and the mustardy cold lentil salad. For dessert, the sublime île flottante and mousse au chocolat are both generous and memorable.

The wine selection is excellent, with a refined Bourgogne 2015 being a recommended choice. Cocktails and soft drinks are also available. Prices are reasonable, considering the quality and quantity of the food.

Overall, Chez René is a fine dining spot that offers an unforgettable culinary experience in the heart of Paris.

A perfect lunch at Chez René! From the moment we sat down on the terrace, everything was just right. The food was absolutely delicious – rich, flavorful, and generously portioned (in the best possible way). We left completely satisfied and already dreaming of coming back. But what really made the experience stand out was our waiter, Daniel. He was genuinely warm, funny, and attentive without being overbearing – the kind of service you rarely find anymore. He gave great recommendations, kept the mood light, and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. If you're looking for honest, hearty French food with a side of good vibes, Chez René is a must. Worth the detour – and then some. We'll be back!

My wife and I had a really delicious meal here. The onion soup was the best I’ve ever had and the confit duck, beef bourginon and wine were fantastic. The only downside was the waiter was rude throughout the entire meal. Despite us speaking as much French as we could (which was very limited to be fair) he was very dismissive and arrogant. He barely made eye contact with us the entire meal. This damped what was otherwise a very nice dinner. Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €70–80

A friend recommended us and I was abit hesitated to try due to not many rated reviews. Not regretted that we came with our special friend last night. The foods are absolutely amazing and delicious plus their services are super tops! I would strongly recommend that it should be rated more than 4.5 and above. I hope more people can explore this authentic French cuisine restaurant when they are visiting Paris! Un ami nous a recommandé cette adresse, mais j'hésitais un peu à essayer car il y avait peu d'avis. Nous ne regrettons absolument pas d'y être allés hier soir avec un ami très cher. La cuisine est tout simplement incroyable et délicieuse, et le service est au top ! Je pense vraiment que cet établissement mérite une note de 4,5 ou plus. J'espère que davantage de personnes découvriront ce restaurant de cuisine française authentique lors de leur visite à Paris !
