“A Parisian institution”

Just a stone’s throw from the Seine and nestled in the heart of the Latin Quarter, you’ll find Rue de Pontoise—a quaint, postcard-perfect street that embodies classic Parisian charm. Le Petit Pontoise, one of the last remaining authentic Parisian bistros with its nostalgic allure, takes you on a journey back in time.

Our story

" A family affair "

Over the years, this small space on Rue de Pontoise has witnessed countless businesses, remembered now only by the street’s cobblestones. It was Philippe Tondeta, a chef from another era known for his honest, straightforward dishes, who created Le Petit Pontoise. Today, Le Petit Pontoise is a family affair, run by two brothers, Alexandre and Jonathan. With different paths in life, they found their common ground and came together through this beloved bistro.

“”Every day, with our team and all our heart, we strive to carry on the legacy by bringing joy to our friends, locals, and visitors from near and far in our little restaurant that tells a big story.””
