Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow what a find, this restaurant was just perfect, great tapas, fantastic friendly service and a wonderful vibe. Patrice was a perfect host, he even took us into the kitchen to show us the food they could cook for us. Will definitely be back next time we visit Paris.

Patrice greets you, like a friend, even though we were there for the first time. Before he explained the menu to us, we were allowed to choose directly in the kitchen. But he speaks good English too, don't worry. The food warm fresh, hot, good and fast at the table. Overall a sensational evening when we are back in Paris, we will come back! Merci Patrice

Here is a restaurant where you will not only enjoy carefully prepared tapas with fresh, tasty and quality products. It is also an invitation to travel in Basque traditions while being made comfortable as at home by Patrice!
Let yourself be taken away, counselor!
(bookings highly recommended even if Patrice does everything possible to welcome little ones like us! Come early!)
We learned how to taste a Basque cider in the proper way.
We feasted on its tasty homemade tapas: marinated chicken , Basque beef , potatoes with homemade pepper sauce, chipirons, padron pepper , Iberian ham!accompanies a Valdepenas reserve 2014 (silky sweet ....)
The crème brûlée (with orange blossom) and the Basque cake (cracking and black cherry ending) finished feasting my husband and daughter.
We will come back! to taste the other homemade tapas.

This small restaurant is worth visiting for its delicious food … but the hospitality of the owner Patrice took it to the next level and made it a most memorable and lovely evening! It was a bonus that it was only a few minutes walk from our holiday apartment. Highly recommended.

I visited Bodega Potxolo with my Mother when we visited Paris in May 2022 and we had one of the best meals we have ever had. Patrice, the owner, is a lovely host and incredibly friendly. He introduced us to the chef who talked us through the food on offer and gave us some recommendations. The food itself was delicious, and so tasty, washed down with incredible sangria. Incredible food, amazing service, and one of the best restaurants in Paris. Everyone should visit this small restaurant.

Came here for dinner with a friend last night and had an absolutely amazing meal! We’d booked ahead but I’d gotten the date wrong, however, luckily for us the owner was really understanding and sat us down to eat straight away.
He was super friendly and attentive the whole meal through, catering to our every need and stopping by to have a chat and see how we were doing regularly. As we live near the Basque region and the restaurant is filled with Basque decorations we had a great chat!
The food was to die for! We ordered 5 dishes, the tortilla, the albondigas, the chorizo au cidre, the chiperon frits and the patatas. Each dish was steaming hot, well presented and absolutely gorgeous. We especially recommend the chorizo and albondigas as even after we finished the plate we soaked up every last drop of the sauce with bread. For the two of us, these 5 dishes were plenty.
Another aspect we really loved was the “you only pay for what you drink” policy. We ended up drinking a jug and a half of Sangria, so he only charged us for what we drank, rather than the two whole jugs that you’d have to pay for at other places. This is a really good idea if you’re not a huge drinker as you don’t have to worry about being overcharged for not finishing.
All in all, I can’t wait for my next visit to come back and see Patxolo again!

Such a lovely welcome from Patrice - his English was good but he was concerned that we wouldn’t understand so he took us in the kitchen to show us the food. That says everything. In particular the sea bream was so good we had to have two portions.
If you are anywhere near the area you must visit

What a perfect local spot! Delightful owner, lovely tapas and wine at reasonable prices, and a warm and convivial atmosphere. The sangria is outstanding-and I’m not really a fan of it generally. The brochettes de poulet were amazing and the food very fresh.

We made a reservation and were greeted by Patrice who immediately made us welcome and treated us like friends.."Vous me tutoyez." He explained the menu to us and showed us the kitchen. We ordered several tapas and all were excellent, especially the peppers, the fried rouget, and the calamari in ink.

This place is amazing! The owner makes you feel like a guest in his home. Impeccable service and the food is as good if not better than all the places we dined at in Spain. Honestly, this might be our favorite restaurant in Paris.
Do yourself a favor and make a reservation at this gem of a restaurant!
