Restaurant de la Cordonnerie

Restaurant de la Cordonnerie is a traditional French restaurant in Paris with a cozy, classic bistro atmosphere. Wood paneling, tablecloths, and original decorative objects are part of the appeal, giving the restaurant an intimate, authentic French feel.

The draw is traditional French cooking in a casual setting. At about $40 per person, it fits diners who want a classic Paris meal without turning the occasion into a formal fine-dining experience. The restaurant is closed on Saturday and Sunday, and opens Monday through Friday for both lunch and dinner.

Classic French dishes, intimate comfort, and a clear yes for lunch

The menu is traditional French. Signature dishes include entrecôte de boeuf avec frites maison, andouillette, fricassée de champignons, escalope de veau français à la normande, banane flambée au rhum, and fondant au chocolat. That makes the restaurant a fit for diners who want recognizable French classics in a cozy Paris setting.

Lunch is a practical recommendation because the restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 12–2 PM. Dinner is also available on those days from 7:30–10 PM and suits the same traditional bistro experience. Either way, the appeal is the cozy, classic setting and traditional French cooking.
