Best Dishes at Le Bar Fleuri

A whole quarter of golden-roasted chicken, still warm, with skin that crackles and meat that pulls easily from the bone. Served with a generous pile of hand-cut fries fried in duck fat. The same price for 20+ years (€6.86)—this is the meal that made the bistro famous. Every review mentions these fries; reviewers describe them as the best in Paris, golden and crispy at the edges, fluffy inside. It's the kind of dish that doesn't need sauce, but the house offers one anyway.

Chunks of beef shoulder braised slowly with whole carrots and onions until everything is fall-apart tender. The sauce is reduced and glossy, with the natural sweetness of the vegetables coming through. This is peasant food elevated by technique—Martial's version shows why this classic endures. At €10.50, it's the kind of warming dish that justifies a 20-minute walk in winter.

Lean pork loin cut into pieces and sautéed quickly to keep it tender, then tossed with fresh tomatoes, green olives, garlic, and herbes de Provence. Bright and aromatic, with the briny olives cutting through the richness of the pork. At €10.50, it's the lighter alternative to beef for those who want something with more acidity and Mediterranean flair. The plating is simple—all substance, no decoration.

Fresh crab meat dressed simply with a touch of mayo and tossed with mixed greens and a squeeze of lemon. No fancy manipulation—just quality crab allowed to shine. At €12, this is the 'lighter' option for lunch, and reviewers note it's generous with the crab. Served chilled, perfect for warm weather.
