A warm, family-run bistro, tartare specialists, ideal for a friendly moment with affordable menus.
Description
Located in the lively Gobelins district, Les Frangins is a cherished retro bistro run by brothers Philippe and Nicolas Douay (with Sébastien Fabre). This family‑run venue thrives on conviviality and hearty dishes, centered around their signature tartares. Expect over twenty inventive recipes: Thai, foie gras, spiced varieties, and more.
Beyond tartare, the menu includes generous portions of bavette, dorade fillet, breaded chicken kebabs, and truffle scallops—alongside charcuterie or cheese boards and classic fries. Lunch menus start around €16, while the evening “galactic menu” at €37 includes an appetizer, tartare, dessert, coffee, and a cocktail.
The warm ambiance—with retro décor, wooden furnishings, and soft lighting—is enhanced by a popular terrace when weather permits. The friendly staff add a relaxed charm to the dining experience.
With seating for up to 80 guests, it suits after‑works, business lunches, or gatherings with friends—ideal for birthdays or bachelorette parties.
Although tartare is the star, varied options like steak‑fries, burgers, and homemade desserts bring diners back time and again.
Practical info: Open Monday–Friday 11 AM–midnight, weekends until 1 AM, with happy hour from 3–9 PM. Easily accessible via Gobelins metro station (line 7). Reservations recommended for the terrace or larger groups.
