Description

In the heart of bustling Saint Germain des Près, this authentic Parisian bistro, dripping in charm and now part of the Ducasse empire, has changed very little since it opened in 1932. The culinary score wavers between bistro fare and heroic brasserie staples. Attractive lunchtime menu.

Review summary

Located in Gentilly, Allard specializes in traditional cuisine. Service is generally praised for being warm and professional, though some guests report apathy or erratic pacing. Food quality is polarizing; while duck dishes are highly rated, others describe chicken as dry and flavors as bland with small portions. The atmosphere offers a charming Parisian vibe, despite minor design critiques. Value is a significant concern, with many visitors finding prices excessive relative to portion sizes and menu simplicity, particularly noting high costs for basic items like coffee. Overall, the experience varies greatly depending on individual expectations regarding cost and consistency.
