About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Located in the middle of Philadelphia's charming garden district, Paris Bistro - Dining Room - Chestnut Hill has made quite a splash since it opened in 2014. The setting and food are authentic bistro - the crowd is lively and the menu is reminiscent of the many bistros that dot Paris' arrondissement. Classics like cassoulet, coq au vin, steak frites and escargot are joined by more modern bistro fare. Classic and craft cocktails compliment the menu. The bottle wine list offers selections from Old & New World wines. And what would the bistro experience be without classic chocolate mousse and creme brûlée? All are served with a genuine warmth and true hospitality. The DOWNSTAIRS JAZZ CAFE offers live music Wednesday through Sunday evenings, with reservations available through the Paris Bistro - Downstairs Jazz Cafe Open Table page. Reservations will be honored for the room in which they are made.

    We recommend this highly! We are never disappointed--unless they are out of our first choice, which doesn't happen often. A special treat for gluten free people--buckwheat crepes on lunch menu--and they are delicious! New menu just recently so we're looking forward to trying some new items.

    We asked waiter to have the duck cooked well done it came back rare and had to send it back, my partner had finished her meal before I started mine. We asked that the ice cream part of the dessert be in a separate bowl because of a dairy allergy and it came directly on top of the pie. It seemed like total lack of concern by the wait staff.

    My wife and I live nearby and wanted to head up to the main street for dinner. We checked and there were open reservations pretty immediately available. We’ve been here once before and enjoyed it so we figured it was an easy choice.

    We were celebrating our grown daughter’s birthday with her sister and the evening was perfect. Our daughter loves French food and the Paris Bistro did not disappoint. The food, the service, the ambience were all wonderful. Everyone on the staff went out of their way to make the evening special and memorable. We were visiting from out of town but will definitely return when we are next in the Philadelphia area. Bob and Diane Kramer
