So many delicious escargot at au doux raisin that you won't regret going here. 

We ordered escargot, bone marrow, and beef bourguignon.

The escargot. Wow. It's their specialty and it sure is special. I've never had escargot with this kind of flavor coming from the snail itself. It's a must have. 

The bone marrow was good too, nothing too memorable, definitely not like the escargot. 

The beef bourguignon was so good too. Tender beef and such good flavors. 

This was the perfect way to end our Paris trip.

My second time in Paris and returned to this restaurant with my kids to try some 'authentic french' food and this did not disappoint.
Thank you again

Was staying in the Latin Quarter and looking for a good place for late dining and drinks and Au Doux Raisin did not disappoint - it was the perfect ending to the first night in Paris. The food was delicious. The owner and staff were wonderful. First time I had escargot and now I'm hooked. Also had bone marrow, duck confit and a blue cheese dish. My son liked it so much he went back on his own for  another go at the duck. It was just filling up as we left at about 12:30am so I could see me hitting Au Doux Raisin at the end of every night out.

We came here on our first day in Paris after seeing Pantheon. It's a small cozy restaurant with only a few tables. We ordered a few dishes to share:

- escargot was so flavourful, it blew our minds. This was the best snails I have ever hard.
- foie gras - delicious!!
- bone marrow - unlike other places, they didn't add a lot of sauces and etc. onto the bone marrow, but the taste was so fresh  and delicious that you didn't even need anything else. Amazing.
- beef stew - this was very tasty but we couldn't finish it so we take it to go.
- sausage - probably my least favourite but still very favourful. 

Our server Olya was amazing, always checking up on us and making sure we were happy! She gave us a lot of recommendations which turned out to be amazing. She speaks French, English and Russian, which is a great asset which made communication and ordering very easy. Overall, this restaurant is a must visit for anyone who is looking for delicious homey meal.

Amazing! The food was fantastic. They have small menu but everything we tried was simply amazing. I am usually a bit skeptical of the reviews But this is trully a gem. 
I loved the location, the ambiance, food is awesome, great service (rare in Paris). Highly recommend and definitely worth to get there if you are in Latin Quarter. I would certainly come back

My fiancé brought me to Europe for my 40th Birthday!! He's wanted me to try traditional French cuisine since we met 2 years ago!!! I found this little gem close to our hotel and it didn't disappoint!! From the charming intimate dining room to the fabulous service.... the cuisine was "la Beurre on top"!! We started with an aperitif of Pastis, 2 appetizers (escargot and fois gras) and finished off with a superbly cooked succulent confit de canard. The duck was crisped with butter and the potatoes were so mouthwateringly good!!! 
We absolutely love this little find in Paris and will tell all friends that live here and abroad to visit Monsieur Charlots' place!

Excellent evening
 Authentic French cuisine. I have to visit this place e again. Similarly amazing!

Thanks fellow Yelpers!!
We had a great lunch/dinner here. 
Almost a five star. I am on the edge of giving it five, but because I love beer and the beer election isn't very good, I'm currently setting a four. 

We missed this place on the first passing, but turned around and found it while on our trip to the Pantheon. 
We ordered drinks and my wife ordered a cola. The waiter (owner?) answered by saying "No, we are a real restaurant."  Meaning no coke was served here. 
She ordered a water and I ordered a beer. 
The waiter speaks very little English and our French is nonexistent, but we powered through. Google translate!  We ordered our meals.  I ordered escargot and my wife ordered Assiette Jambon Perillé. We also ordered Foie Gras. When we got our meals we only got two, but when I told the man we ordered the Jambon he brought it out quickly. 

Escargot - Nice. Meaty snails in a nice oil/parsley sauce. Not the over-powered garlic sauce you usually get in the States. 
Foie Gras - Melts in your mouth. Served with a fig jam and toast with an mellow anise-flavor.  Put all three together and you have severe goodness. 
Jambon Perillé - A kind of ham loaf served with gherkins and mustard ice cream. Yes, mustard ice cream!  Crazy good. Foodies rejoice!

Yelp in France isn't the greatest, but I still use it over here and it paid off this time. 

Disclaimer - I haven't had a lot of French food outside of pastries, but this place was an awesome prelude and I will try more.

My cousins took me to this quaint little neighborhood bistro after doing some research on where the best escargots in town were! Highly recommend if you're in the area. I loved their escargots; it was butter garlicky deliciousness! I forgot what my cousins ordered but they seemed to enjoy their meals as well. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

This is my favourite restaurant in Paris. The food was delicious. Big plates, a lot of food. The waitress, Olga, was wonderful and very friendly,  helped us with our choices. My husband wanted to taste the frog leggs, which were not on menue, but the restaurant prepared  it for him next day. If we will be back in Paris,  this one is definitely visit and enjoy food again. Highly recommended.
