Be seduced by the prime rib at GASTON Paris 17ème

In the heart of the Batignolles district, Gaston has found its place by blending tradition and authenticity. No trendy concepts or flashy gimmicks here, just a warm bistro where people come to enjoy and share. The room is spacious and convivial, inviting both large tables and intimate diners. At the helm is a team who take care to preserve the spirit of Parisian bistros while offering a demanding and sincere cuisine.

The establishment can already count on a loyal following of locals, tourists and food-lovers who travel across Paris to sample its exceptional meats. For Gaston is above all a matter of passion for the king of products: beef.

Prime rib, star of the house

While the menu boasts a fine selection of typically French dishes - snails in tempura, poultry liver terrine, duck parmentier and pear clafoutis - it's the prime rib of beef that really catches the eye. A true emblem of the establishment, it is available in two versions:

Simmental prime rib (1.1 kg - €90), a meat renowned for its tenderness and delicately marbled flavor.

Matured prime rib (1 kg - €130), from an exclusive "Gaston x Metzger Frères" selection, a key butcher partner of top Parisian chefs.

This maturing process, carried out in the establishment's own cellar, sublimates the meat, giving it deep aromas and a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Served cut up, the rib arrives at the table accompanied by a sprig of thyme burned right into the bone, releasing a subtle, irresistible fragrance.

Chef Maxime Aliano's signature

Behind the stove, chef Maxime Aliano masters the art of cooking. A former sous-chef to Michelin-starred chef Hélène Darroze, he puts his expertise at the service of 100% homemade cuisine. Each piece of meat is grilled with precision, offering a lightly caramelized crust and a tender, juicy, flavorful heart.

This attention to cooking and maturation has earned Gaston's prime rib a reputation as one of the best in Paris. Customer reviews speak for themselves: the meat is "divine", "succulent" and "perfectly cooked", which alone justifies a detour to the 17th arrondissement.

Conviviality and generosity on the agenda

But beyond the meat, Gaston also seduces with its atmosphere. The warm, attentive service makes every meal a memorable experience. The chef himself comes into the dining room to chat with guests, share anecdotes and tell the story of his bistro.

The wine list offers an eclectic selection of wines to accompany any cut of meat: grands crus for the discerning, cuvées naturelles or petits domaines for the curious. The perfect match for prime rib, best enjoyed with friends around a large table.

A word of advice: make sure you book in advance, as the restaurant is often fully booked. Proof that you can't go wrong, all generations come here, from families and groups of friends to tourists passing through.
