Frog Legs in Paris — since 1930

Looking for frog legs in Paris? Roger la Grenouille has served them on rue des Grands Augustins, in the 6th arrondissement, since 1930 — and made them its signature while most Parisian tables let the dish disappear. Here is everything you need to know before booking a table.

The dish and the history

Frog legs were once common on Parisian menus. Because they are cooked à la minute and don't tolerate waiting, they slowly vanished from most kitchens. Roger la Grenouille is one of the very last specialists in the city to have kept them on the menu without interruption — in a 1930s dining room that has barely changed. The street itself is famous: at number 7, Pablo Picasso painted

Guernica in 1937, just a few doors away.

How we serve them

Our frog legs come several ways: the classic persillade (butter, garlic, parsley, quick-seared), crisp fritters (fritôts), and even a bold frog-leg burger. The meat is fine and delicate, often compared to chicken — a true taste of traditional French bistro cooking.

Where we are

You'll find us at 26-28 rue des Grands Augustins, 75006 Paris — in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a short walk from Odéon, Saint-Michel and Notre-Dame. A perfect stop for curious travellers exploring the Left Bank.
