The Polidor Restaurant had to be one of our funnest restaurant finds while vacationing in Paris. We came across this place while doing laundry of all things. While waiting for our laundry cycle to finish, my husband wandered across the street to check out the menu and he discovered a picture of Woody Allen on the window. Turns out it was where they filmed a scene from one of our favorite movies a
Midnight in Paris. After checking out the menu, we just knew we had to dine there. The inside of the restaurant is awesome and from what we understand the inside hasn't changed much in the last hundred years. They even had an Indian style toilet in the floor, so even if you don't feel adventurous enough to actually use it, go check it out. The restaurant has communal tables, so expect to share your table as the dining rooms fill up. They have a regular menu and the specials are listed on a board. I loved the wine menu which had from inexpensive to exorbitantly priced wines. We found a nice red on the menu that we enjoyed.
The food at Polidor is not gourmet food, but it is french comfort food at its best. The beef bourguignon is awesome and a must try. The chicken and mushrooms and cream sauce were also excellent. Both of these dishes were served with potatoes and of course plenty of bread to soak up that delicious sauce. If you have any room left for dessert after all of that, try the Tarte Tatin, otherwise know as apple pie. The pie was great and an excellent end to our meal. The service here was brisk, but polite. We liked the restaurant so much that we dined there one more time before leaving Paris and if we ever find ourselves back in Paris again, we will be back at Polidor. Before I forget, they only take cash, so make sure you have enough cash before sitting down to eat and they do not take reservations.
