Chez Paul in Paris 13 rue Charonne

 

When I first arrived in Paris, Chez Paul was near our apartment. On special occasion we would go there for dinner

and have a glass of wine and a bowl of vegetable soup.

That was all we could afford, not that it was expensive but we didn't have much money to spend.

Over the last thirty some years we kept going back to our favorite place... our orders grew.

Yet Chez Paul has remained the same, down to the fixed telephone and the servers.

 

 

"On the menu

– Simple products – fresh and seasonal

                                 [but true]

– Recipes anchored in time,

– Requirement and homemade cuisine,

– Authenticity and friendliness." via Chez Paul

"The Paris of 1900, lively and rustling. Coal and lemonade. This is what we found at 13 Rue de Charonne rocked by the accordion notes that accompanied the laughter and counter tours after the coal tour.

Hospitality and sharing are the values that Mr. and Mrs. Paul wanted to transmit and offer to visitors when they inherited the place in the late 1940s. Friends or families, artists or anonymous, loyal or passing customers, from here or elsewhere: a table was always available for them.

Chez Paul: it’s a little bit of each other. A story of meetings and friendships, a mosaic of captured moments mixed with emotions, scents and flavours. Moreover, all you have to do is walk through one of the 4 rooms to be – in your turn – caught up in these testimonies of yesterday and today that this atypical setting has to offer.

As a successor to Mrs. Thiebaud, the Karrenbauer family has been carrying on this tradition since 1998, with this twist that characterizes it so well." Via Chez Paul

“A break in a hurried daily life, a comforting cuisine that is the heir to our French history and our land. We pay tribute to our culinary classics whose recipes are too often lost. A real wink to our grandmothers who, simmering good little dishes, always took care of the well-being of our gourmets and gourmet stomachs." via Pierre R., Head of emotion and delicacy.

 

A must when in Paris.
