Chez Fernand Christine

About

Chez Fernand Christine is an authentic Parisian bistro located on rue Christine in the 6th arrondissement. Since its creation in 1970, this establishment embodies the spirit of a true neighborhood bistro with three intimate dining rooms featuring banquettes worn by decades of diners. Under the direction of Baptiste Roulière for over fifteen years, the restaurant serves generous, unpretentious French cuisine rooted in tradition. The signature dish, beef bourguignon made from beef cheeks, is prepared in substantial quantities monthly. The menu features classic bistro fare: bone marrow, Burgundy snails, veal kidneys flambéed with cognac, Norman rib steak, and tarte Tatin. The wine cellar impresses with 30,000 bottles and over 1,300 selections on the list. The restaurant attracts both international visitors and loyal Parisians who appreciate authentic cuisine served in a warm, convivial atmosphere with bilingual service.
