Le Bistro De Longchamp – Portuguese Restaurant in Trocadero, Paris

On our travel to Paris last Spring, up top of some of the French local delights, we also had some non-French foods as well. This is one of them. Le Bistro De Longchamp is a Portuguese Restaurant in Trocadero area of Paris. We went to Trocadero because of its perfect viewpoint to the Eiffel Tower at the Palace of Chaillot. Before going for the magnificent night lighting display of Eiffel Tower, we spent our time having dinner in this restaurant. What attracted us to go in there was its pricing! (sorry, we are all budget travelers) But great foods do not have to be expensive, do they? Please read on.

Le Bistro De Longchamp, or read as Longchamp Bistro in English, is located in No.40, Rue De Longchamp itself, or Longchamp Road in English. First look for Boulanger Patissier candy shop at the corner of the street. Le Bistro De Longchamp is just beside the shop. It is within the 16th Arrondissement in Paris Centre, just West of Eiffel Tower, separated by the River Seine. Another reason why we came to Trocadero was because it is the easiest way to get to Eiffel Tower from our hostel in Montmartre by bus or Metro. The restaurant is very near to the Trocadero Metro station.

The bar is right in front of the entrance. 7 beer draughts are found, which are normal in Europe. The waiters are very friendly in this case, especially this bald-headed guy, who actually spent all the efforts to tech us French! Thanks 🙂

We ordered 4 dishes. All served with French Fries and spinach. How’s the food quality? For the price we paid, they are awesome! Very well cooked and they are tasty!

After the dinner, Jean and Bobo ordered a caramel mustard as dessert. I preferred something bitter. I couldn’t missed to have a cup of black coffee… which I think is a perfect compliment to a nice dinner. 🙂

After all, Le Bistro De Longchamp is a very nice restaurant to dine in. The environment is friendly even though most patrons are locals. The ambient lighting is warm but bright (for me to capture some nice photos of those foods 🙂 ) The setting is cozy enough for us to have our dinner happily. The waiters are warm-hearted and most importantly, our bill could still fall under budget! In fact, there are many restaurants in Trocadero area but this is among the cheapest options!

Great place to have your dinner before going for Eiffel Tower night view at Trocadero Hill! 🙂 – Travel Feeder, your ultimate travel photo guide
