Le Bistrot d'Henri, 6eme Arrondissement, Paris, France


What is special about this place?
It is small
It is cozy
It is original
Maybe more importantly, it has the best meat and wine ever!

It is situated in a small street. If it was not our French friends, we would have never found this place.
First of all the restaurant is very french, menu is all french, staff speaks french. It can be hard for tourists to order, but it doesn't matter, order something and it will taste great anyways! Our french friend ordered three dishes to the middle and we shared. Meat was cooked medium-just enough to enjoy the flavour.
Accustomed to labeled wines, we found it weird that the wine came in a plain bottle with no labels. However the first sip, the first glass and those that followed(!) proved it again and again that their home-made wine tasted awesome.
We were lucky to sit at the table by the window near the entrance where you get the best view of the street. The staff is very friendly, he asked us if we liked our meal and he was kind to try to understand my french:)
Lastly, such a great dinner comes at a moderate cost as compared to paris bistros.
A spot not to be missed out in your paris trip :)
