Incredible atmosphere and even better food! Everything was perfect from the Mushroom Soup to the classic Old Fashioned and the mouth watering Crème Brûlée. Staff were unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful. Our new favorite in Providence!
Always a memorable dining experience. Quite possibly the best restaurant I have ever visited. I so look forward to coming back again soon!
We had a delightful experience at Pot au Feu. It felt like we were in a romantic little restaurant in France. We were greeted warmly by staff and showed to our cozy table. Drinks were brought promptly-I highly recommend the Les Fleurs. I heard the people at the next table commenting on how perfect their Old Fashioneds were. We were brought warm bread which was delicious. Our appetizer was the Pate de Maison-chicken liver mousse made with brandy and served with toasts. I had Coquilles St. Jacques and my husband had the Poutine with tenderloin and Foie gras. Dessert was Pots du Chocolate and Citron Mousse. It was not an inexpensive meal but the quality and flavors are well worth it. It's a lovely place for authentic country French cooking. We will be repeat customers.
As usual, the Pot did not disappoint. Whether I stop in for a drink and a light dinner after getting off the train or celebrating an event, it's my go to place. The food, the staff and the ambiance coming together for a memorable evening. Thank you!!
Very cozy and intimate atmosphere, perfect for an anniversary. Service was attentive, and our meals were perfectly timed, with bread being presented, then appetizers, then our meal, followed by a dessert menu once our plates were cleared away. The food will not disappoint. The Jarret d’Agneau Jardiniere, or lamb shank, was highly reviewed by my partner, who noted how tender the lamb was- nearly falling off the bone. I can confirm, after stealing a bite, that it was cooked to perfection, and had a wonderful, comforting vibe. My own meal, Canard Roti et Confit Framboise, or oven roasted duck, was amazing. The flavor of the raspberry sauce with the duck was extremely complimentary, and definitely worth recommending for someone with a sweet-tooth. I found it to be a perfect balance, never being too sweet, but with the perfect amount of flavor to accent the dish. If you're looking for a spot in Providence to share an intimate dinner, I highly recommend Pot Au Fue.
Pot Au Feu is a reliable standout in Providence. The owner cares so much about every detail and I agree with previous reviews that say the food is as good as you will find in Paris (if not better in some cases!). This is a great place for a romantic duo or a family celebration. The pate trio was so delicious and the chicken portion huge. Steak frites was well spiced and the sauce amazing. The service was exceptional. Looking forward to going back.
If you've never been, go. If you've not been in a while, go back. If you go regularly, you know. A lovely evening in all aspects.
Very disappointed by the food. Owner and server checked on us a few times and we told them it was fine, and it was, everyone has an off night and I didn't want to raise an issue at a place I've only been to once.
The real issue came right before we left we heard the chef yelling at servers. We brought this up to the owner on the way out and he immediately defended the chef, told us that we should feel lucky that we sat that close to the kitchen. I don't care whose fault it was, if the servers were messing up or the chef. At the point where we're paying $100 per person we should not have to listen to workers yelling and cursing during our dinner.
Pretty disappointed. Although my beef bourguignon was good, the wait staff tried to take it away from me 4 times while I was still eating!!! The bread was some store bought crap I could get anywhere. The mushroom pate was meh. All this at premium prices. I think this places days are done. Save your money Go elsewhere
Felt like I was in the woody Allen movie Midnight in Paris and was transported to another time. Lovely - delicious, warm and charming. It’s not every day where you can eat authentic French cuisine lauded by Julia Child. The owner was welcoming and kind. Coming back. My new secret spot to impress. Now if I could only find a date to take here. ;)

Food was exceptional
Service was swift, kind, and knowledgeable.
Gentleman with glasses, who seemed to be the owner or manager, checked in on us and other diners to ensure we were satisfied.
They graciously accommodated our large party celebrating a graduation.
Would not hesitate to recommend. Will be returning soon.
History is awesome with a great chef and food!
Had dinner in the old basement setting that requires better maintenance and probably upgrade. I’m a French cuisine fan, but the small green salad and their signature seafood dish were disappointing. An attentive server was the only plus in this place.
Wonderful ambiance and the food is as outstanding as the service. The owner checks in with every table and is absolute delight! Most of the staff have worked there for over a decade- this says a lot for a business known for high turnover. My favorite restaurant in RI!
Fabulous French food in a perfect setting
