La Cantine du Troquet Pernety
About
La Cantine du Troquet Pernety has been a bastion of Basque‑inspired bistronomy in the heart of Paris since 2008. Under the guidance of chef Christian Etchebest and, since 2017, William Hilal, the restaurant offers a menu that celebrates the flavors of the Southwest while adapting them to the cosmopolitan palette of Paris. Guests are invited to enjoy an ever‑changing selection of classic dishes – from tender veal axoa and sea bass in Basque sauce to handmade pastries such as the famed gâteau basque – crafted from high‑quality, locally sourced ingredients. The casual, convivial ambience, highlighted by a rustic interior, a chalkboard menu, and a baseline bar, makes it a favourite spot for both locals and visitors seeking an authentic, hearty meal. The establishment prides itself on its openness and accessibility: the restaurant remains open Tuesday through Saturday with a lunch window from 12 h to 14 h 30 and dinner from 19 h to 22 h 45. Reservations are encouraged during peak periods and can be made by phone at 01 45 40 04 98. Although there is no dedicated booking website, the staff is friendly and ready to accommodate parties by advance notice. The dining experience typically lasts around an hour, offering plenty of time to savour the seasonal presentations without feeling rushed.
