Restaurant Allard

About

Restaurant Allard, a timeless Parisian bistro in the heart of Saint‑Germain‑des‑Près, has been delighting diners since 1932. The venue preserves the original décor and the relaxed atmosphere of a classic French bistro, while offering a menu that revisits the hearty, family‑style cuisine of the region. Over the decades, the house has been guided by successive generations of women—Marthe, Fernande, and now Chef Lisa Desforges—giving the restaurant a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Guests can enjoy a carefully curated lunch menu for €34, presented as a starter, main and dessert, and a lighter €28 option with starter and main or main and dessert. Dinner sets are available up to €200 with wine pairing, accentuating the restaurant’s celebrated signature dish, the Canette de Challans aux olives, and other refined offerings such as confit duck foie gras and a signature rum savarin. Wine lovers can explore a robust list of about 350 French vintages, with a strong emphasis on Burgundy. The restaurant also hosts private dining, events and offers gift vouchers for both lunch and dinner. With 7 am‑contawatering, the venue welcomes guests Monday through Sunday for lunch from 12 pm – 2 pm and dinner from 7 pm – 10 pm. While reservations are encouraged for busy periods, they are not mandatory, and tables can be booked online via the official booking page on the site.
