Vin des Pyrénées

Vin des Pyrénées
25 rue Beautreillis, 4th
M° St-Paul or Bastille
Tel 01 42 72 64 94

vindespyrenees.jpg 

An old-fashioned restaurant with traditional French cuisine, cozy bistro décor of checked tablecloths, vintage wine barrels, specials on the chalk board. Run by a young team, the atmosphere is laid-back, somewhat noisy during lunch. They carry wines from independent producers, and serve specialties from the Pyrenees region of France . The selection of meats, salads, pastas and fish are varied enough for all tastes. Brunch even has a strange American flavor (pancakes and cheeseburgers), but you get a ton of food for your euros. Open lunch and dinner, wine bar until 2am.

You absolutely need a reservation at this restaurant. I have seen them turn people after people away without one. The food is delicious.

I had a bad experience with a woman there who seemed to run the restaurant. She was nasty. (There was confusion about the name our reservation was in and the people in my party arrived at different times.) The waiters/waitresses were really nice though.

I would recommend this restaurant and would definitely go there again.

I had dinner here before I went over to Le Double Fond to see a magic show--just a couple of blocks away.
