Les Foudres
Welcome to Les Foudres, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Paris at 4 Pl. Martin Nadaud in the 20th arrondissement.

As a food reviewer who appreciates quality and authenticity, I must highlight the standout features of Les Foudres. The menu showcases a delightful range of dishes that cater to both meat enthusiasts and vegetarians. Regularly changing, the specials board highlights the best of seasonal produce, ensuring that every visit promises something fresh and exciting. I was particularly taken with the steak, praised by local patrons for its excellent quality and meticulous cooking. Another must-try is the chocolate micuit, a dessert that has won over many a discerning palate.
Les Foudres prides itself on friendly and attentive service. Reviewers often note the cheerful demeanor of the staff, making each visit feel like a warm welcome rather than just another dining experience.

This quaint wine bar does also invite some playful debates among its patrons, as noted in a review questioning the presence of a Buddha bowl on a menu touted for its Aveyronese flair. Yet, such eclectic offerings may just illustrate the creative fusion found within Les Foudres. After all, food should spark conversation and curiosity.
In conclusion, Les Foudres is more than just a wine bar; it's a testament to the culinary delights of France, where each dish tells a story of tradition and innovation.

Our Guestbook
“ Came here with a couple of friends, on the recommendation of the one who is local and it was great. The service was friendly, relaxed and attentive. The wine we chose was excellent, the steak we ordered from the specials board was excellent quality and nicely cooked. Sure there were some things I could complain about.. I mean who wants to see a Budda bowl on a menu supposedly Aveyronaise, and what steak tartare needs peanuts and coriander. But all in all our experience was excellent and I would stop here to eat steak and drink wine any day! ”
“ We had sunny side up eggs and cheese with bread. It was good. The service staff was cheerful and nice. ”
“ Inexpensive, delicious, classic and elegant place to eat, friendly staff. Located next to the underground and in front of the cemetery, if ones wish to visit ”
“ Quaint wine bar specialised in fare from the Aveyron region. Food is absolutely worth it, varied, and there's something for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Three to four dishes change daily, usually featuring some sort of fish. Should you have a sweet tooth, go for the chocolate mi-cuit, no regrets on that account. Outdoor terrasse located on the Martin Nadaud plazza - you'll often see children playing while parents relax while keeping a watchful eye on their progeny. ”
“ An amazing trophy for exploring real Paris on bus line without checking the itinerary. Found it by coincidence. Now we know better. We were thrilled with everything, the food, the service, the place, the prices. It was obvious that we were “tourists” but we were treated like everyday clients. We will surely go back, next time we visit the city. ”
