Located near the town hall, the Pompidou Center, and the historic Saint-Jacques Tower, Benoit has been a beloved destination for traditional French cuisine since the early 20th century. This iconic bistro invites guests to step into its warm and elegant atmosphere, where every detail reflects its rich heritage. From the intricate tile-work and wood paneling to the plush red velvet seating, brass accents, and engraved glass windows, Benoit’s decor creates a sense of nostalgia and timeless charm.
On the upper floor, a private dining room with a large oval table provides an intimate space for gatherings. Surrounded by terracotta tiles, decorative panels, and a welcoming fireplace, this room feels as cosy as home.
At Benoit, bistro cuisine is celebrated as both a tradition and an art. Chef Kelly Jolivet skillfully prepares classic dishes like pâté en croûte, escargots, black pudding, and sweetbreads, while adding her own creative touches to ensure these culinary treasures remain delightful today. Signature desserts such as profiteroles and savarin offer a sweet finale. The wine selection is equally exceptional, featuring Beaujolais, Bourgogne, and Vallée du Rhône, including Georges Duboeuf’s pouilly-fuissé served in magnum.
Benoit promises a dining experience fit for royalty, where each dish and glass embodies the soul of French gastronomy. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, Benoit is a destination where tradition and excellence shine.
