Fodor's Review:

Between the red lights of Pigalle and the Butte Montmartre, this cozy bistro with red walls and candlelight hits the romance nail on the head. In autumn and winter, game comes into play in long-simmered French dishes—choose from marcassin (young wild boar), venison, and pheasant. Regulars can't resist the crème brûlée and the raspberry tart. With friendly, professional waiters and reasonable prices, Chez Toinette is a rare find for this neighborhood.

Chez Toinette is well worth a special trip. We spent two evenings there during a recent trip to Paris. We enjoyed generous portions of expertly prepared and presented food. Whether it was duck, pork roast or lamb -- each approached perfection. Prices are very moderate, and that goes for the wine as well. Service is friendly without being intrusive. The overall atmosphere feels pleasant without pretension.

This place is fantastic, small, intimate with excellant food. The escargot starter done with mushrooms and spinach was amazing. The only drawback is that they still permit smoking. The small "smoke-eater" in the cieling does little.
