A hidden gem in Paris. From the warm and attentive service to the beautifully prepared dishes, everything at Bienot feels thoughtful and genuine. The flavors are refined yet comforting, with each plate showcasing a balance of creativity and tradition. The ambiance is intimate without being pretentious, making it the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. A true Parisian experience that lingers long after the last bite.

Had a lovely lunch, this place has been around since 1912, so it's got that classic Parisian bistro charm but without feeling too stiff or fancy. It’s part of Alain Ducasse’s group now, so you know you’re in good hands food-wise. I went for the set lunch menu (please take note that set menu may be changed from time to time), it was beautifully prepared, simple yet traditional French dishes done right. The flavors were rich but balanced, and the portions were just right, not too heavy. The service was amazing, very attentive without being overbearing. I was looked after by a friendly lady who made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. She explained the menu really well and checked in just the right amount. It’s those little touches that make a meal feel just nice. At the end of the meal, they brought out some chocolate from their own factory, which was such a nice surprise. Rich, smooth, and just the perfect finish to a really satisfying lunch. If you’re in Paris and want a relaxed but good French dining experience without the tourist-trap vibe, Benoit is a solid choice. It feels like stepping into a piece of history, but with warm service and food that totally holds up today. Recommend for lunch, definitely worth a visit.

I had a really nice experience at Benoit. The food was good and the service was warm and attentive. My main dish did arrive a little colder than I expected, which was a bit disappointing, but the dessert completely made up for it. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit and I’d be happy to come back again.

I will first start off by saying that the service here was fantastic and the wait staff were super friendly and very attentive! I made reservations for the restaurant a couple weeks in advance, but when I came in at 7pm (opening time) I was seated right at the entranceway where patrons come in to check in for their reservations. I wondered if it was because I was a solo diner so it felt like I was an afterthought. So not only was it chilly whenever someone entered or exited the establishment, it felt awkward because my meal and dining experience was the first thing people saw when entering so it was a bit uncomfortable for me as I was getting some stares. My food was actually just okay. I had the French onion soup which was good. I also had the beef ordered medium— however it came out (overcooked) medium well, and even though a sauce was poured onto it the meat still tasted bland and dry. For dessert I had little cream puffs that is dipped in a tasty chocolate sauce. I’ve dined at many Michelin star restaurants across the USA, Portugal, and Spain and had wonderful, impressive experiences and meals at all of them. This experience was very much a let down. When dining at a Michelin restaurant, there was always that “wow factor” in the dishes and presentation, but that was not the case here. This experience felt like it was your average expensive restaurant. I would say that my favorite parts of the meal were the dessert as well as the bread (not the baguette— I felt like I almost chipped a tooth on how hard/stale it was). Would I come back? Most likely not. There are a ton more options across Paris that I would prefer to try over a repeat experience here.

Loved my experience at Benoit! The menu was solid and well balanced. The portions were also better than I expected. We came in a group of 5, so we had the chance to try most of the menu, and all of it was good. Even the cheese puffs we got at the beginning were yummy. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It was great how the staff took time to explain not just the menu, but also the history behind the restaurant. As a tourist visiting Paris, that was definitely a plus. Our reservation was at 7pm, which is when the restaurant opened. My only small complaint (Though I may be nitpicking here) is that they seated us at the very end of the restaurant, in a smaller corner. This could be because we’re a bigger group, but considering we had an earlier reservation when the restaurant wasn’t that full it would’ve been nice to sit a bit closer out. But it’s okay. My favourites were the Cookpot spelt, escargot, and the steak. Special shout out to the seasonal tomato dish— not usually a tomato person but that was a really good starter. Would definitely come back!

Great place to get compose-it-yourself salad at the foot of the Tour St Jacques. Lots of ingredients to choose from to put on top of a self selected base.

After walking for a whole day, I walked into this cafe because of yelp review. And it is great. Great cheese cake. They don't have English menu but the waitress was very helpful with the translation.

We came here by the reciews from yelp and it was what we were expecting to be. Amazing coffee and most important the best server we met in Paris ,Valentine. She was very politr and kind ,gavr ys the best service
Shanshan Chen - 8 years ago

You pick a base (variety of salads, baguette pizza or flatbread), then you pick your toppings. It's all kinds of things you'd expect at a salad bar. My salad was big and filling, and exactly how I wanted.

Salon du thé. Cosy place, very nice selection of tea. Good variety of desserts, cakes, salads, soups and drinks.

One of the best parts of our first day in Paris. Simple charcuterie mixed board for lunch was PERFECT. Mix of great bread with ham, terrine de porc, truffle brie, compté, smoked sausage...quintessential Parisian eating. Service was quite slow (they forgot one of our coffee orders) but the dining experience was still amazing. Especially if you sit outside facing the beautiful square

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance because their dessert menu caught our eye, so we decided to sit down. We ordered a chocolate cake with ice cream, crème brûlée, and cheesecake. Even though it was a random choice, everything was absolutely incredible. The desserts were delicious, and the service was excellent and especially impressive considering it was close to closing time. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend giving them a try.

While the waitstaff are lovely and courteous, the food tonight was slow. It took an hour for our soup to arrive. The bathrooms lacked toilet paper. I was mortified to have brought guests here. Again, the staff I met were wonderful. The food was fine. Even delicious. But the experience was slow. They seated us in a sideroom while the beautiful main room remained empty. Why did the kitchen take so long di it was so empty? I live in Paris and New York City, and I can tell bad management when I see it. Update: they told us there was a problem in the kitchen....

I visited here this morning and the service was lovely! I would recommend - especially if you are visiting Notre Dame as it's only a few minutes walk away.

Nice place for brunch. Took longer than expected to be served. I ordered scrambled eggs but was served fried eggs, and it then took a long time to receive the replacement. However, to give due credit, eggs were scrambled perfectly.

It's still a very cool metal bar. The music is all kinds of metal, there are decorations all over the place and the best: Beer and food is awesome! The meat quality is superb and prices reasonable for the food. Friendly staff and free refill of your potato wedges ( if you ask for it) included.
Matthias Heinrichs - a month ago

Wonderful bar and restaurant with a metal music theme! The staff is absolutely charming and exceptionally accommodating! The food is phenomenal and highly recommend everything on the menu! Some of the best steaks we have had in France! Not to be missed!
Stacy Kline - 2 years ago

I come to Black Dog since 2005 to enjoy great steaks 🥩 in a unique atmosphere. The lomo is simply fantastic, the potatoes are delicious, specifically combined with the plate of 6 sauces. I enjoy myself every time. Generally I come here for celebrations. I had my first date with my wife here, celebrated birthdays, promotions, basically all milestones. I brought family, friends and coworkers. Black Dog and the delicious steaks have become synonymous with good times in my life. I love the variety of people eating here. You can find everything from metal heads to families and business men in this restaurant. Everyone enjoying a great meal! I can’t recommend this place enough. I will be back, order my lomo erectus and have a great time. Again and again 🙂

Friendly staff, correct finger food and priced right. I tried the tequila piment sauce, spicy and tasty! Great music. Small terrace in the front and the restaurant in the back. Great spot for metalheads.

Really cool counter-culture bar/restaurant. Very Heavy Metal. Right up my alley!. It's in a sweet neighborhood right out of Le Marais. Service was good. Food was good but I loved the music and overall ambience. Would definitely recommend this place and go back with a group of friends.

I been to this place three different times. Their happy hour is so affordable. Great drinks,great appetizers for best prices. Their green peppers, potatoes and paella were the best.
vijayaf - 4 months ago

The paella was so dissappointing. It was served with a common plate instead of classical iron plate, and the paella was obviously already made for quite long as it was not hot at all. The taste is as same as the pealla I bought at Picard(frozen food chain store). The tapas were ok. The only advantage is that this restaurant is open at the afternoon.
Cécile Wang - 3 months ago

One of the better paella! Nice tapas! Although the QR code doesn’t work for English menu, the staff is very helpful! Will definitely come back again! *Left my scrub suit behind , she even came for me. Kudos to her!

I had a great dinner with my friend. Sitting outside near the fig tree - like in Mediterranean. Service was fast and very friendly. Starters and main meals were delicious. We have shared a dessert- Pavlova. It was a dream. Excellent place were i come back.
Zurab Zaalishvili - 3 months ago

After 8 PM, the place gets fully booked, so I highly recommend making a reservation! The wine, bread, butter, olive oil—every dish is absolutely delicious, and the staff’s service is wonderful! I can’t wait to go again soon! The eggplant grilled over charcoal is a must-try specialty! It was a truly happy time.

​This is the one place I am guaranteed to eat at when visiting Paris, and also the one place I will always recommend. ​The staff is amazing, and they made the overall experience worthwhile, as always. They recommended a fantastic salmon ceviche as a starter, and dor my main course, I had a delicious white fish which was perfectly paired with a glass of Riesling—I enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying a bottle to take home. You can't go wrong eating here.

Perfect friend’s recommendation to diner at La Robe et Le Palais. All choices were perfect, terrine, steak tartare, pork chop. Sommelier was very kind to recommend some wine options as well as some digestives to pair with our dessert.

Our planned visit to Jules Verne restaurant was scuttled by a strike. Instead we dined at Kong. What a serendipitous happening. Right beside LuMi restaurant in Sydney Australia, Kong Restaurant in Paris has to go down in my experiences as one of best. We were served by Carol, who made some excellent suggestions for food and wine. I will remember the atmosphere, the incredible food and the glamorous people surrounding us for many years to come. Highly recommended.
Angus Chisholm - 3 weeks ago

Incredible. Delicious. Amazing views! Can highly recommend the sharing plate starter which had lots of delicious items on it (beef prawns, tuna, salmon) and then the Octopus main and the Lobster were really great. Definitely one for special occasions and you must book ahead!

Amazing food with amazing views! We went for my best friend’s birthday and wow! Food was delicious. I highly recommend getting a reservation you might not even get in without it. I am pretty sure we got the Kong platter which is a mix of appetizers and you have to get the mashed potatoes with it because they were absolutely delicious!

Good food with a nice theme throughout the restaurant. The menu is a bit hard to understand, especially with the “create your own appetizer” section. Overall, a good experience, though the service was a bit slow.

I visited Le Paradis du Fruit at Les Halles with my mom, and while the atmosphere was quite busy and crowded, the food and drinks were genuinely good. It’s located in a convenient spot right by the Forum des Halles, which makes it easy to reach while exploring central Paris. As a vegetarian, I found that the menu didn’t offer a lot of options for vegetarians or vegans, which was a little disappointing — but the few things I did order were delicious. I had fries (frites), Cajun-style green beans (haricots verts cajun), and my mom had chicken (poulet) — she really enjoyed it. The highlight for me was the spicy mayo that came with the fries — super flavorful! My mom ordered a margarita, which she said was very strong and very good, and I got a mojito mocktail, which was refreshing and well-made. If you’re looking for a casual bite with tasty sides and good cocktails in a central Paris location, this place delivers. Just be aware it can be a little hectic inside if you’re looking for something quiet or cozy.

I love this chain, but ! Today allergies from the Green detox juice, don’t know why, was very sweet. Our waitress was super sweet (Camille) the director (Musta) couldn’t care less.

Been long time wanted to try this restaurant. Finally I had nice dessert time with my good friend here last night at the Châtelet–Les Halles branch which is nice neighborhood to hangout. We had shared dessert a huge poffertjes/ giant choux cream with banana, almonds and chocolate dressings. Taste really good for share but I think will be too much if you have for yourself only. And the frozen yogurt here really good and taste healthy.

I came here for dinner one night and had a wonderful experience. We had Marie as our server and she did a great job with our group. We started off with a mixed salad. Then we had two flavors, beef and ham. After, we moved on to dessert with a chocolate and then white chocolate raspberry. We also got unlimited food as well. The restaurant was nicely decorated. Definitely stop here for lunch or dinner.

Great price for great food. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food arrived extremely hot and fast. We ate the traditional type and enjoyed it a lot. One flam is too much for one person, we got 2 flams for 2 people (the waiters brought them one by one so they don't get cold) and we were so full we couldn't finish the second one.
Şiva Nafez - a month ago

Super cosy and nice place! The only think I don’t suggest cesar salad: 1 time I took it was amazing but the 2 time it was a bit strange and very salty with different ingredients🤪 The rest was perfect!

Stopped by for Happy Hour because of the good google reviews on December 1, 2024 at 15:00. The service and drinks were excellent. Great beer selection and they exclusive wines of Alsace AOC Wines. Manon our server was fantastic. I also want to thank the manager for letting us have drinks inside since it was cold outside.

Atmosphere and service is awsome. The waiter was very kind and helpful. The music is great, some points are not good to see the show but still I liked it. I see people always complaining about the bouncer but who cares it works like that in any single bar, club and nightlife in Paris. At this point you should either give 1 star to Paris nightlife in general or already understand how the bouncer work. They usually look for the same things drunkenness, clothes, group number. And last but not least, is very expensive I mean I am a student and I do not have the money to spent in such costly pints. A student discount would be appreciated.

As a music lover from the US, loved this place. Rock music, mostly in English, but bangers all night. Great drinks, and it was busy but we still had responsive service!
Ryan Stauffer - 4 months ago

Stumbled in here and we had a great time! There was an 80s cover band playing which was really fun. We had a few drinks but didn’t stay too long. There was ample seating inside and easy to order drinks, they have some tables and seating outdoors as well. Overall a fun little bar if you’re in the area.

Temple Rock Tavern – Where Music and Pints Collide Some nights in Paris aren’t about sophistication or subtlety; they’re about letting loose, raising a glass, and enjoying life’s raw, unpolished pleasures. Our evening at the Temple Rock Tavern was one of those nights. Tucked into Rue des Lombards, this Irish-inspired pub delivered exactly what it promised: good beer, loud music, and an atmosphere where strangers feel like old friends. We arrived just as the night’s band was taking the stage—a local group whose charisma matched their talent. Their energy filled the room, spilling over into the crowd, which seemed more than ready to play along. It’s worth noting that the success of an evening here relies heavily on the audience, and we were fortunate to share the space with a lively, welcoming group. The beer selection was impressive, with something for everyone. I would personally recommend the Paix-Dieu, a strong and flavorful choice that fit the vibe of the night perfectly. But here’s where a note of caution comes in: the prices. Before the band starts, a round for four—including pints and draught beers—might cost you between €20 and €35. Once the music begins, however, the prices climb sharply to €35–€55. It’s a significant leap, and one worth planning around. The service was friendly and efficient, despite the growing crowd. The bar staff handled the surge of orders with skill, and while the atmosphere grew raucous, it never felt chaotic. The wooden interiors, the dim lighting, and the long bar lent the space a timeless quality, making it easy to lose track of the hours as the music and conversation flowed. Temple Rock Tavern is not about fine dining or hushed conversation—it’s about immersion. The music, the beer, the crowd—it’s all part of a single, unrelenting pulse that defines the place. Whether it’s the playlist, the band, or the people around you, every night here is shaped by the energy of the moment. Rating: 4/5 A great spot for a fun, lively night out in Paris, the Temple Rock Tavern captures the spirit of an Irish pub with a Parisian twist. While the price hike during live music hours might sting, the overall experience is worth it—especially if you arrive early, grab a good beer, and let the night unfold.
