About
Il était un square is a relaxed Parisian bistro nestled on the serene Square René Le Gall in the 13th arrondissement. Known for its inventive take on classic burgers and tartare, the restaurant sources only traditional French beef, serving it on freshly baked baguette buns with house‑made mayonnaise, ketchup and a signature crème de fromage topping. Complementing the mains are artisanal fries, local cheeses, a curated wine list and a genuine small‑bistro ambience that embraces casual dining with a touch of sophistication. Guests appreciate the attentive service and the warm, laid‑back atmosphere that makes Il était un square a favorite for both everyday meals and special occasions.
