Gaston unveils his new menu… and it’s going to have meat lovers talking.

At Gaston, the well‑known meat lovers’ spot in the 17th arrondissement, a new menu lands and reinforces a reputation that’s already well established. “One of Paris’s best aged‑meat restaurants, the best ribeye”: word of mouth and social networks are overflowing with praise for this Batignolles spot, just a short walk from Pont Cardinet and Brochant.

At the helm is chef Maxime Aliano, who trained under Cheffe Hélène Darroze, and he brings here a generous, precise cuisine deeply rooted in the product. In this neighborhood bistro with a warm, unfussy vibe, everything is made in-house, with particular attention paid to seasonality and the quality of the ingredients.

A new menu that raises the bar

This new menu puts meat in the spotlight more than ever, with a carefully curated selection of exceptional cuts, notably from Metzger, a benchmark name since 1930. The legendary rib steak — still the restaurant’s signature dish — remains a must, along with the aged Norman L-Bone and the wagyu tomahawk for grand occasions.

But the novelty also shows up in the plates with more creative twists. On starters, roasted marrow bone with parsley-buttered toasts remains a comforting classic, while snails in tempura bring an unexpectedly crispy bite. Also highlighted is the revisited artichoke heart, delicate and bursting with freshness, or the octopus—served fresh and perfectly balanced.

Generous and contemporary dishes

The menu evolves with dishes that are both indulgent and contemporary: free-range chicken supreme, aubergine confite, or a salmon fillet in a tandoori crust. Meat lovers will also find timeless favorites like knife-cut beef tartare or the burger, still a crowd-pleaser.

A special nod to the crispy-seared octopus bites, one of the menu’s pleasant surprises, brightened by chimichurri notes and paired with expertly prepared vegetables.

The bistro spirit, a demanding take

At Gaston’s, people come for both the quality of the dishes and the atmosphere. The space feels both raw and modern, radiating authenticity. In the dining room or on the terrace when the weather allows, the welcome is warm and genuine, driven by a passionate team.

The sides (house-made mashed potatoes, fries, seasonal vegetables) and classic sauces such as Bearnaise or chimichurri enhance dishes that are always cooked to perfection.

A Sweet Finish to the Meal

You can’t miss the desserts, also updated with the new menu: ultra-indulgent French toast, a generously soaked rum baba, or a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream. Classic favourites, perfectly executed to finish on a comforting note.

Inspired by nature and authenticity, the restaurant's decor reflects a raw, lively spirit.
Let yourself be seduced by the warm, friendly atmosphere. Gaston opens the doors of his restaurant tolovers of good food and meat, where conviviality and flavors meet. In a sober, contemporary setting, you'll be warmly welcomed by our passionate team.

Ultimately, this new menu confirms everything we think about Gaston: a sincere, demanding spot where meat reigns supreme but never feels dull. A safe bet in the 17th arrondissement, well worth rediscovering without delay.
