Open from 7 AM until midnight (2 AM on weekends), it suits everything from breakfast and Sunday brunch to business lunches and lively after‑work gatherings.

Though the bistro does not have a storied historical legacy, its name reflects a passion for classic French gastronomy. The interior is warm and intimate, with wooden paneling, snug banquettes, tables closely set together, and shelves lined with bottles. A small terrace provides a charming outdoor option on pleasant days.

The menu is seasonally inspired, offering breakfast sets (“French” at 9.90 €, “English” at 16.90 €), a full brunch at 25.90 €, and lunch/dinner dishes meant for sharing. Selections include charcuterie boards, burrata, country terrine, omelettes, asparagus risotto, beef tartare, and a praised spicy chicken Colombo. Homemade desserts feature a highly recommended crème brûlée, and their hand‑cut fries are a highlight. The drink list includes wines by the glass or bottle, beers, cocktails, and coffee. During happy hour (4–8 PM), pints go for 6.50 €, and glasses of wine for 5 €.

By day and night, the bistro hosts a mixed crowd – from families to young professionals and visitors – looking for a relaxed meal, a casual drink, or a celebration. It caters to vegetarian and vegan diets, features friendly multilingual staff, and accommodates group reservations (up to 70 people, with private terrace and sound/dance space) . Customer anecdotes praise the chef’s creative take on classics and attentive service.

Practical amenities include wheelchair access, credit card acceptance for minimum charges of 10 €, restrooms on-site, online reservations via its website or partner platforms. Free Wi‑Fi, background music (sometimes a DJ), and a dog‑friendly terrace make it all the more inviting.

Some reviews mention service variability, loud reggaeton playlists, or reheated snacks, yet the consensus praises the venue’s fantastic value and honest atmosphere, averaging around a 4.1/5 rating from over 500 reviews.

In short, Bistrot d’Antoine offers a genuine taste of contemporary bistro life: fresh food, a friendly ambiance, and a lively setting in central Paris.
