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.

There are quite a few Chez Papa around and the menu looked quite tempting, if you like South West (France) cooking, so when a friend visited, I thought it would be a good opportunity to try the chain.
We booked, which was smart because the restaurant filled up quite quickly on Friday night. The tables are close together, so you get to enjoy everyone around you’s conversations.
The menu is very long and focused on duck and duck fat, as well as beef cooked in duck fat, which are all excellent concepts. There is no light option, especially not the salads.
Prices are reasonable and the servings are huge (they will pack up what you can’t eat). But the dishes themselves aren’t that great. They are fine but nothing more. The burger has lots of good bits but the overall effect isn’t delicious. Same for the salads, lots of ingredients that should be taste bombs but they just weren’t.
If I want good south west cooking, I know better places for next time.

Great experience with a group of US students tonight. The staff was friendly, patient and adapted to any special needs: allergies, extra guests... Tasty food at reasonable prices for the area. I recommend it!

3rd time and never disappointed. The perfect welcome with the super nice, pleasant and friendly waiter or boss. Very good plates, duck schnitzel with auvergne, duck breast, ice cream cup, soft cocktail and coffee, count about 76 euros for 2 people. Beautiful decoration and next to the cemetery Montparnasse in the 14th arrondissement.

I loved Chez Papa when I visited Paris 20yrs ago. And I was excited to take my family to a place I loved so much in the past. Sadly I think this place has seen better days.
The menu is huge (never a good sign), and there are no locals here (also a bad sign). There is an all pervading feeling that this place is dying a slow and undignified death.
The foie gras was tasteless and super salty. The other meals were well proportioned but lacking any attention to detail. The fried potatoes were very greasy, but my wife liked her salad. Based on the huge menu and the lack of customers here at 6:30pm on a Sunday evening it had me wondering how fresh the ingredients could be.
I think this place could be great again , but looks like the locals have voted with their feet at the moment and deserted Chez Papa.

We ordered duck fillet (with potatoes) and duck from oven&fried (with potatoes). They were both awful! We couldn't eat more than half and also couldn't properly digest it ... doubt even if food was cooked that same day...

The service and staff are pleasant and very helpful.
There isn't much of a wait.
We had a duck breast with pan-fried foie gras as well as profiteroles for dessert. The dishes were simply very good, there was a lot of flavor in the meat, in the potatoes, in the pan-fried foie gras thanks to quality, homemade products.
The quantities are very sufficient and will not leave you hungry.
The quality/price ratio is good because the quality is commensurate with the prices, which at first glance are high for a bistro. Count EUR41 for a duck breast with foie gras as well as profiteroles.
See the photos of the dishes,
Ultimately, I can only recommend this little bistro.

Visiting Paris and Montparnasse at the end of the day we searched for a well-rated restaurant and found Chez Papa where we booked online which allowed us to benefit from 20% off the bill, already great!
The storefront doesn’t pay off at first glance but in the end the good mood comes from the waiters and immediately makes you want to settle down.
The menu is enticing and the prices are very correct.
The starters and dishes were hearty and very good! Nothing wrong! More room for desserts we could not test them.
Bravo Chez Papa!

The place is to be avoided, we were seated near the trash can...
The dishes were served with undercooked and frozen potatoes. The dishes are very coarse, greasy and not hot enough.
The waitress was not friendly, had forgotten the wine... The chicken on one of the burgers was much overcooked.
In short, don't go there.

I was attracted by the menu with traditional french dishes, cassoulet, tripoux and others.
With a large group, we were able to share the different appetizers. Main courses are really huge.
The staff is very charming and quick service. By seeing the chicken I realize that they do not cook there, mainly dressing and heating.
This is a restaurant where you enjoy the company and large portion than the quality of the kitchen

Dinner unannounced.. more seats available but the adorable Sicilian waitress finds us a bistro table. She advises us a bottle of gaillac wine that proves excellent at a very decent Award. Super hearty duck pavement and perigord board at the top. Quick service and dishes on top .. what better ask 😃🙏

The menu is varied but the cuisine ordinary. The duck steak with porcini mushrooms requested for rosé was not cooked and the mushrooms had too much garlic. The cassoulet, although a specialty, did not stand out. The service was adequate.

It was perfect, no one being too loud besides the place being full, servers who are always there to help and serve fast. Fast and delicious food. Nice vibe and overall a great place to go eat.

Very welcome in this restaurant.
When we saw the Award, we were afraid of the result, but we were pleasantly surprised. The quantity on the plate is well present as is the quality surely, one of the best Value Award in Paris.
I recommend.

Great food and decent prices however the staff are extremely rude and were hostile towards us.
Abrupt member of staff working FOH who was rude from the moment we entered the restaurant, another then proceeded to push a table and chair into my leg whilst I was sat eating to only say “pardon” once I turned around to see what was happening.
Would generally avoid unless you were desperate !

Montparnasse
The namesake tower of Montparnasse dominates over the landscape but the fun part is the throbbing life that goes on below it. Bright lights, busy cinemas, brasseries and diners encompass hidden museums and parks to entertain the masses. Long avenues lead away from the tower to take you to unsuspecting places and historical monuments and treasures. In between lie adorable ivy-covered houses with beams and small gardens to match. Just a short metro ride away from the centre of Paris this neighbourhood has something for every hour of the day.
