The story
In La Garenne-Colombes, just west of Paris, Tata Yoyo brings the spirit of the French bistro into the present. The dining room is deliberately retro: vintage objects, old portraits, comfortable seats, a large communal table, and soft lamplight that creates an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a setting that feels lived-in, not staged.
The kitchen is driven by a simple philosophy: traditional French recipes, executed with seriousness. Sauces are made in-house, cooking times are precise, and the ingredients are fresh and seasonal. The menu changes almost every week, always anchored in the generous, recognisable repertoire of bistronomie. This honest, straightforward approach earned Tata Yoyo a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026 – a distinction that rewards quality cooking at reasonable prices.
A recent menu showcases that ambition. To start, green asparagus with a crispy bite, paired with a smoked hay sabayon, kalamansi gel, and Iranian black lemon powder. For the main, roasted free-range poultry breast with a parsnip mousseline touched with anchovy, a coffee vinaigrette, sorrel pesto, and a rich jus finished with green oil. Dessert balances chocolate with fennel and citrus – clean, layered, and satisfying.
Tata Yoyo is part of the “Bistrots pas Parisiens” family, a group of distinctive restaurants that share a love for convivial, unpretentious dining. Whether you come for lunch, dinner, or a private event, the team aims to make every meal a moment of genuine exchange – over plates that are both familiar and surprising.
