Established in 2008 in the charming Latin Quarter, Le Vieux Bistrot is a family-run restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere thanks to its genuine bistro décor: exposed wooden beams, stone walls, checked tablecloths, and historic photos. Located on Rue Mouffetard, one of Paris’s oldest and most vibrant streets, it embodies classic French culinary tradition.

Specializing in fondue (Savoyard, cepes & chanterelles, Bourguignonne), hot stone grilling, old‑style raclette, and classics like beef bourguignon, duck confit, and leg of lamb, everything is homemade with seasonal products. Starters such as South‑West foie gras, onion soup with cheese, and Burgundy snails complete the culinary journey.

The ambiance is friendly and lively, though sometimes a bit loud in the evenings, with attentive and quick service frequently praised. The cozy interior features closely set tables, with free Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, and wheelchair access adding to its appeal.

It's ideal for families, groups of friends, and lovers of traditional cuisine, as well as tourists seeking an authentic Parisian bistro experience. Winter evenings featuring fondue, raclette, and hot stone cooking are a hit — one guest noted: “the Savoyard fondue… always delicious! The owner is very friendly!” . A few cautions include occasional heat in the dining room and slightly high prices for some.

The restaurant is open daily from noon to midnight (unless closed Tuesday lunch/early dinner) . Reservations via TheFork are accepted; payment by credit card and Google Pay is available. Outdoor terrace in summer, accessible restrooms, street parking.

With generous portions (e.g. raclette at €67 for two, fondue €49–53) and a regional wine selection (Savoy, Burgundy, Bordeaux…), it delivers an immersive, hearty French and Savoyarde tradition. A perfect spot for sharing a warm moment in an authentic, bustling bistro atmosphere.
