   My husband and I have been to Paris a few times but never had a chance to have Parisian chicken. Partly because I am a vegetarian. In this trip, I decided it was time for my husband to have chicken in Paris. We made a reservation at Le Coq and Fils before the trip and I noticed on their menu they had potatoes and vegetables as side dishes and knew I would be fine. We entered the beautifully appointed restaurant with the aroma of freshly cooked chicken which smelled so enticing as if you were in your grandmother’s kitchen waiting for Sunday night dinner. The restaurant is small and super friendly. The tables are beautifully table clothed with just the right amount of space in-between tables. My husband ordered chicken and french fries and I ordered potato purée with vegetables. We struck up a lovely conversation with the people next to us who commented on how interesting that we chose this restaurant when all the serve is chicken. The chicken and sides arrived and were plated beautifully. The chicken looked so moist and tender and had some of the chicken gravy poured on top. I had to try the chicken because of the amazing and inviting smell and the reaction from my husband after his first bite!!! It was the best tasting chicken I have ever eaten. Full of natural flavor, juicy and cooked to perfection. I am a vegetarian for health reasons but I am going home to the United States with a new found love for Parisian chicken. I will try and recreate it at home and I hope I can come close. The wait staff and chefs were so friendly and made us feel very welcomed. If you are in Paris and make your way to the Monmarte district, and you want the best chicken in the world, make a reservation, sit back and enjoy one of the best meals in Paris. Bon Apetit!

   Dear Patti, you can't imagine how much your note is heartwarming for Le Coq & fils The poultry house entire team as well as for Chef Antoine Westermann! You are describing exactly the convivial & comforting experience we want our guests to have with us from the entrance to the tableware specifically selected for having the best poultry experience. So glad you noticed as well our vegetarian friendly options. We source veggies, salads, eggs with the same care as our birds. Thanks for recommending us to Opentable crowds.

   We went to dinner at Le Coq & Fils on our last night in Paris. It turned out to be the best meal we had on this five day trip. We had the best squab we have ever had. Service was exceptional from the whole team. We will certainly return for more. We will highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

   The chicken gizzards are wonderful. Unfortunately they did not have the squab which is why I went there. The Coq au vin was classic and good.

   Dear Rockey, so glad you liked your experience with us, and enjoyed Chef Antoine Westermann poultry centric cuisine. Gizzards are definitely a very successful hors d'œuvre, it is actually an inspiration of chef's 3 Michelin stars cuisine. So sorry to have disappointed you with our Squab, who is victim of his big success. Our farmer Theo Kieffer does and incredible job raising them in a reasonable amount. And we sincerely hope that next time we will be able to satisfy you. Respectfully yours, Le Coq & Fils - the Poultry House

   Average rotisserie chicken and veggies, nothing over the top special about this place.
   

   Le Coq & Fils - The Poultry House - Chef Antoine WestermannResponded on 19 September 2024

   So sad dear Sean while reading your note. What may have happen to make you have an average experience with us? We are so sorry, how could this happen? We do such a serious work on sourcing, best heritage breeds, very specific slow cooking process, best varieties of veggies, ... Normally at least good products do not lie?! We would have so much love to make you have a great time with us. Respectfully yours, Le Coq & fils The poultry House.

   I read this restaurant serves the best Roasted Chicken in Paris, and I might have to agree! The meal was fabulous. The fact that it’s in Montmartre just adds to the charm! Don’t miss this one if you come to Paris!

    The best chicken I’ve ever had. And the Mac and cheese is also incredible. Did not know it was possible for chicken to taste this way. Delightful experience. Highly recommend.

    Thank you so much for you incredibly heartwarming comment! So glad you liked Chef Antoine Westermann very special Mac & Cheese recipe, as well as his 100% poultry centric cuisine. As you noticed in the quality of the meat, we do only serve heritage poultry breeds who are raised in a total animal welfare long enough to reach that level of taste. Be assured that we will stay our course, and looking forward hosting you back. Respectfully from our entire Le Coq & fils The poultry house team.
