Au Bon Coin
Bistro — Quartier Du Jardin Des Plantes (Paris)
About
Au Bon Coin is an authentic Parisian bistro founded in 1904, located in the heart of the 5th arrondissement. This century-old establishment blends tradition with bistronomic cuisine, offering generous French fare that combines classic dishes with creative touches. Chef Emmanuel Chanois crafts seasonal plates using fresh, quality ingredients: duck foie gras, French pork sausage with Espelette peppers, duck breast, côte de boeuf, and homemade desserts like baba au rhum and crème brûlée. The venue preserves its timeless charm with exposed stone walls, zinc counter, solid wood tables, and a vintage French departmental map. The convivial, warm atmosphere makes it a true neighborhood institution where regulars and newcomers mingle comfortably. The wine cellar features over one hundred references, including organic and natural wines.
