First time here. Everything was spot on. When you walk in the atmosphere of the Restaurant captures you immediately. Followed by the staff that greets you. The food, a triumph. The staff themselves Are authentically pleasant to talk to And extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We will be back of this. I have no doubt.

Phenomenal food! I enjoyed the chicken liver dish and will continue ordering it. This restaurant is my new favorite restaurant and will continue dining anytime I'm visiting Providence.

We dined with friends at Pot au Feu last evening and had a wonderful time. I have been to the French Laundry in Napa, considered by many to be one of the top french restaurants in the world, and I can say without reservation that Pot au Feu is hands down MUCH BETTER in every respect. The food, the service and the ambiance are great, the price is reasonable and the owner, who visits every table, greets you like an old friend. If you can only have one dinner in Rhode Island, have here!!

The bistro delivered on substance more than flash, which is exactly what you want from classic French cooking. The beef bourguignon was a standout. The sauce had real depth & the meat was tender without falling apart. The duck cassoulet was equally strong. If you are looking for honest French comfort food done correctly, this place earns a return visit!

Best classical French restaurant in the area. A great place for a quiet romantic dinner. The food is outstanding and the crème brûlée is the best you will ever have!!

The wonderful aroma as you descend the stairs to the restaurant let you know what kind of a meal this will be! You are welcomed and seated by the owner. Water and warm bread and butter soon appear. The menu is classic country French. The chef is marvelous every dish that we have tried is delicious. The onion soup and the mushroom soup are favorites. The chef specializes in mushrooms. Desserts are small, rich portions of French classics. Unfortunately the wine list has suffered due to U S government actions. Hopefully that will resolve soon and the restaurant can restock some of its lesser known, but delightful wines. Highly recommended.

This was our first time there. Outstanding!! We were warmly greeted by the owner, seated promptly, and enjoyed a marvelous dinner. French onion soup, escargot, duck confit, and beef were prepared and served perfectly. Could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back soon!!

Owner Bob welcomed us and gave us a brief history of the restaurant. Our server, Antigone, was fantastic. The food was excellent. I had escargot and bouillabaisse Marseille. Crème broulée finished a great meal.

We went for the first time to celebrate my husband's 56th birthday before going to Waterfire. We were incredibly impressed. The ambiance, the staff, the food. Everything exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning. I think we found our new favorite restaurant.

This is my favorite restaurant. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is knowledgeable and welcoming.
My guests were bowled over by our dinner at Pot au Feu. They were still talking about it two days later. In all the years I've lived in Providence, I've never been to a restaurant that is so consistently fabulous.

Every time we enter this Resturant we know we are about to have a lovely dinner . The Boeuf a la Bourguignon is perfection .We dine here every few months and the owner, Bob Burke, always makes sure to stop by our table and extend warm wishes and thanks ..greatly appreciated. We recommend Pot au Feu to everyone. In our opinion it's the best Resturant in RI

Excellent service, food, and ambiance. A Providence RI classic. A must visit for fine dining in downtown Providence. Romantic French cuisine and ambiance.

My husband and I had an exceptional anniversary dinner at Pot au Feu. The ambiance transported us to turn-of-the-last century France, the service was excellent, and the food was truly incredible. Don't miss the creme brûlée -- it was, quite simply, perfect. The owner, Bob Burke, personally welcomed us to the restaurant and talked with us at our table later -- a level of hospitality I find rare in 2025! We can't wait to return!
