La Billebaude - Menu

This is a wonderful gem of a restaurant. It is teeny—which makes for a wonderful experience. My daughter and I had the 4 course lunch with wine pairing and it was our favorite meal in Paris!

We thoroughly enjoyed each of the 6 courses in the tasting menu. The flavour combinations were inspired. One of the best tasting menus we've had....and we've had quite a few. The servers were attentive and very pleasant. It was a great dining experience.

Friendly English-speaking owner Pascal servers up 3-course meals. Start with the rabbit or quail, continue on to the duck, then finish with a dessert special with multiple samples of cake. Complement your meal with a bottle of wine from Bordeaux or Côtes du Rhone.

We visited Paris and sampled many fine culinary establishments including 3 star Michelin restaurants. Pertinence served better food than other higher rated restaurants! The ambiance was intimate and tranquil. The husband and wife chefs took the time to explain their preparation and styles. The best we had during our stay.

We were really looking forward to our lunch here and the greeting did not disappoint . My wife and I had champagne to start with and above average white chardonnays and a languedoc red with our meal.The only truly outstanding dish was a pollock served with daikon and cauliflower.The dish that was off was a way beef that was served at room temperature. The interpretation of tiramisu was a good ending. We really wanted to like this more since it's 5 minutes from our apartment

Waited on by a charming man working the front in this cozy space all by himself, we all three thought his attitude professional and yet very amiable. And all three of us ordered the same dish: sea bass on a bed of potato puree with cream of morel mushrooms. Scrumptious!For dessert I had chestnut ice cream with Armagnac and prunes. (No, I don’t know I ordered it, either, but it was good if too sweet for my taste.) I would go back tonight if I wasn't 5,000 miles away. Oh, and I suggest reservations -- it is small.

I just returned from a few days in Paris and eating at Pertinence was by far our gastronomic highlight. Recommended by our hotel concierge, Pertinence was PERFECT in every way. This tiny restaurant is a jewel. It is owned by a young husband and wife team who are so creative and professional. Every single course was a work of art and so tasty as well. The decor and service was also first class. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Paris. I want to personally thank the owners again for such a fun and delicious experience.

This was our second time here, eight years after our first, and it was every bit as good as we remembered. In fact, better, as the lone waiter seemed friendlier, perhaps because he had more time to spend with us, as less tourism has meant fewer filled seats. Every bite was delicious, my bar and my wife's quail, the side dishes and dessert. It's a great pleasure to be in the hands of a chef who takes such pride in his work. The small dining room is quite simple and the diners all seemed as delighted as we were to be there.Tip: there is no close by Metro station, so take a bus or taxi.

This is our fourth visit to most amazing restaurant. Small in size but huge in wonderful cuisine and atmosphere. The proprietor is a quiet gentle man with great patience with our attempts to interpret the French menu when one in English is available. But the food is unbelievable. All three courses are 34€ and include an entree, plate principal and dessert. Tonight I had a lapin (rabbit) confit with carmelized Apple with a dollop of Carmel ice cream to start, the cannette (small duck) with figs (scrumptious) and a hot chocolate brownie for dessert. My wife has sardines in a vinagarete marinade, the Guinea hen for her plate and a very light meringue for dessert. Great value and wonderful food...
