Beautiful dining room with crystal chandeliers and beautiful ceiling paintings. The joy stops there. Service less than friendly. Food. Not great. Ceasar salad standard. Cod was like eating from a cheap diner. Looked like fish sticks from a box. The salad that came with the cod was not great. Do not recommend.

Very nice ambiance and delicious food, also very professional service. We have tried duck breast, sea bass and chicken filler, all of them were delicious. The Wallace and decorations in the dining hall were also amazing. We recommend!

An exceptional dining experience at the Musée d'Orsay. The Musée d'Orsay restaurant is undoubtedly a place of distinction. The setting ranks among the museum's most sophisticated spaces, with gilded walls, ceiling frescoes, elegant chandeliers, and expansive windows that transport you back in time, creating an atmosphere of the highest caliber. While the tables maintain elegant simplicity, the colorful plastic designer chairs—though personally not to my taste—somehow contribute to the overall sense of refined class. The cuisine is of exceptional quality, with even the youngest diners finding satisfaction through their dedicated children's menu. The fried fish is particularly delicious. The Caesar salad stands among the finest I've enjoyed in Paris, though I would personally prefer the chicken slightly roasted rather than steamed—nonetheless, it remains excellent. The service deserves special mention, and the ice cream is an absolute delicacy. While not budget-friendly, the pricing feels justified given such an extraordinary setting. Highly recommended for a memorable Parisian dining experience that combines culinary excellence with unparalleled ambiance.

We had an amazing risotto, service is super kind and the place is beautiful. If you come to the museum I recommend you to pass by.

Nice Indian restaurant with good homely food (also not spicy for those that require it). Authentic Indian food and ambiance in a small cosy set. Very nice and attentive staff. Family ambiance. Good pickles.

My husband and I came across this restaurant while strolling the streets and decided to have lunch here. Thankfully we did. The staff were very accommodating and made us feel well taken care of. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I honestly enjoyed every dish we ordered. The naan was amazing and I think it had cheese inside. The chicken tandoori and the lamb dish were both so good, as well as the masala tea. Even though I do not speak French, ordering was easy since the staff spoke English and the menu had English translations. I would definitely come back when I visit Paris again. Totally worth it and I left looking like I was pregnant because of how much I ate😁

Absolutely Excellent, very friendly staff no issue with English or French. Quick service and flavours that will stay in your pallet for a long while after. We forgot our bag at the table and as soon as we realised we called them up and despite being minutes before closing we were met at the door with a smile and our bag! Couldn’t recommend more for some hearty food in the centre of paris

The atmosphere was cozy, the service warm and friendly and the food was amazing, this lovely little restaurant was right across the street from the apartment we’re staying at so we decided to give it a try and we weren’t disappointed. We had the butter chicken, the chicken vindaloo, aloo ghobi, saffron rice and some stiff generously poured whiskey and cola.

Although in a relatively quiet area this restaurant is worth a visit. Friendly service and really nice food. It was a relaxed atmosphere. The food selection was good and the service was fast.

This place serves one of the best pork chops I have ever had, it's completely worth the trip to come down just for it. Think a thick slab of pork that is super flavourful and tender, the mashed potato is also superb. I'd pass on the chocolate mousse though, as it's a tad bit too rich for me (unless it's for a really big group of people). Overall, I'll definitely be back here if I'm in Paris again! Do remember to make reservations or you might get turned away, their business is quite good and there aren't many tables available.

Easily one of the best dinners that we’ve had in years. Everything was perfect. The cucumbers were fresh and the mushroom dishes were to die for. Our friends recommended this place to us and we will be doing the same in the future. Make sure to get the beef and the chocolate mousse dishes.

Came here back in August of 2024 and I still think about the meal I had here, it was comforting and delicious. Heading back to Paris in a couple weeks and will definitely stop in for another meal. This restaurant is definitely a great place to eat at after a visit to Musee d’Orsay!

Came here because of very good reviews and we are not disappointed either. The snails are really tender and delicious. The steak and the grilled sea bass are awesome, highly recommended. And the chocolate moose is always my favorite dessert.

Cinq-Mars is a great spot for a well-executed lunch in Paris. I had the 3-course menu, and although it’s short and simple, everything was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. The carrot velouté was smooth and comforting, followed by a seabass filet with house-made mash and caper cream — perfectly cooked, crispy skin, and light seasoning. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service kind and efficient. A solid stop if you’re looking for an elegant yet unpretentious lunch near the heart of the city.

Friends and I shared a delicious 3 course lunch in October. From the moment you enter and climb that beautiful stairway to the restaurant entrance, you know you are in for a treat! The food was delicious and beautifully plated, the service warm and attentive and the dining room is so inviting. I would definitely go back for another fine dining experience.

Understated place of huge historical significance as a part of the polytechnique ecosystem. A marvelously simple menu executed to perfection. We were all pleased with this experience and recommend it vigorously. The price to quality ratio is a steal!

We took the Seine dinner cruise departing from Orsay quay at 18:45 and everything started on time. The boat was modern, smooth on the water, and the views were fantastic. Seating is assigned, with window tables available for an extra fee. There was live music with a singer performing well-known songs, which created a romantic atmosphere. Not too intimate because of many people sitting close to each other. The food was average: only the main course came with a choice, while salad and dessert were the same for everyone. The starter was served before departure. The meat option (extra €10) was tough, but the chicken and fish were fine. Drinks are all at extra cost, and the dessert was unimpressive. For our wedding anniversary, we expected at least a small gesture of attention, but the only option offered was a cake for an extra charge. Even a simple candle with the included dessert would have been enough. Service was attentive and polite. The cruise lasted about 1h15. In late September, departing at 18:45 meant enjoying daylight during the ride, but we just missed the Eiffel Tower sparkle after sunset, which was a pity. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, perfect for a tourist in Paris looking for an atmospheric evening on the river.

Mohin provided excellent service on the seine river cruise! What an absolutely magical night and such a special experience seeing the beauty of Paris for the first time. Highly recommend this tour!

A nice experience if you want to see paris without having to walk much. I took the 21:15h cruise with guaranteed view of the eiffel tower sparkling. The food was nothing special and service started 15 min prior to departure. You could choose between two entrées, three main courses (fish, chicken and beef with a 10€ upcharge for the beef steak) and two desserts(crème brûlée or a solid piece of cheap, milk chocolate shaped like the eiffel tower). To top it off no drinks were included in the price. 1 liter of still water cost 8€ with no tap water provided (a law in France-this was mentioned on the website as we were on a boat with no tap water available). Waiters were pushy and two photographers on board pressuring you to take photos on top of unpleasant singing. You could see bits and pieces of the Eiffel Tower from the boat. You would’ve seen it just as well, if not better on land or from a bridge. Overall, not worth the money. If you’re trying to see a little bit of Paris take a cruise on the Seine during daylight hours no need for a fancy dinner.

I paid in advance for a cruise dinner, no drinks included. The food and the views were very good, but in the end the waiter came so we pay the drinks and he asked for 30% from the full sum to be paid as tips “to support the team”! 30%?!?!?? Where in the world you pay 30% tips??? The employers should “support the team” not tips!

We tried the pizza du jour. One is enough for little appetites. With the great weather we took away the pizza and ate at the quai de seine. On sundays is very crowded (we are in april).

A little overpriced for what it was, but overall a pleasant experience. The staff is very friendly, pasta was flavorful and plentiful. The appetizers were okay, but the portions were very little considering the price. Tiramisu was alright - there was a bit too much egg white.

Food was good, we had the special, creamy and lovely, seemed like the chef was Italian also. The servers were very nice and attentive.

One of the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. I leave this review almost 4 years later after coming across the pictures I’ve taken. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of the truffle pasta which was indisputably the best I have ever had, I was probably too busy enjoying this unique moment that is still perfectly imprinted in my mind. The other courses were very good too. I will definitely come again.

The atmosphere is pleasant and well presented, arguably stronger than the service itself. food was okay. The restaurant was not busy, yet the bill was brought immediately after removing the plates, like 10 seconds after! and they came asking for payment as well, felt rude and disrupted the experience and I felt I have to write the review here as there is no point talking to them. Now, food, we ordered Boeuf Bourguignon, Épaule D’agneau, and a burger with fries. The Boeuf Bourguignon was correctly prepared but lacked depth; sorry to say this, but I have had better in many traditional bistros, and, even some upper touristic venues in Paris. The Épaule D’agneau was well presented, though the potatoes were more flavourful than the lamb, and the seasoning felt unconventional. It seems all meals had one shared ingredient ( some oil, butter, spice …) which I didn’t like. However, the fries of the burger was super good. Also, disappointed by the toilets , they were not clean and appeared poorly maintained. Overall, the restaurant looks appealing, but rushed service and modest food execution meant the experience fell short. The above reflects my opinion and my experience only. So I regret having this meal there.

We came here our first night in Paris I did some research and the reviews indicated that it would be a great place to eat. I don’t speak French I spoke bonjour to the manager and explained it. I don’t speak French. We both had a incredible laugh, and it went up from there.. I had the onion soup and escargot for our appetizers. The onion soup was as my wife put is the best onion soup she had ever tasted. Now we had eaten escargot before on one of our previous cruises, but it couldn’t hold a candle to hell this was it was so flavorful and just perfect. As our main course I had the duck which was incredible it was so juicy and flavorful. My wife had the fettuccine with mussels and clams. She thoroughly enjoyed every pain. It was one of the best thing she had old trip. And we had a crème brûlée now if I had anything that they could’ve proved on it would’ve been the crème brûlée. It was flavorful, but not as good as it should have been our as I expected, and the wife said it had a little bit of a banana flavor to it. It was good, but we’ve had better other than that. That’s the only negative that I could say about the entire place this place they were friendly. They were were right there on the spot with service. They were helpful. they were informative. This is the place to go if you’re in France and you’re not sure about able to order and concerned about the issue this is a fantastic place. Don’t pass it. It’s worth stopping in and having a meal and relaxing and enjoying the French culture.

Absolutely amazing place for lunch and traditional French cuisine. Great selection of wine. We tried onion soup, beef bourguignon and magret de canard. Everything was simply delicious! We went twice and will definitely come back again.

The food was amazing. Cozy restaurant near Louvre. High standards of customer service and the price was just fab. It is very hard to pick just one thing on the menu. I had a the beef stew and I was like a hug in a very nippy weather. The family had the octopus and the duck and it was as good as. Would recommend it for sure without thing twice

This was honestly our most memorable meal in Paris. Such a nice park- incredibly friendly staff and what nice setup for a park restaurant. 10/10 can’t wait until the next visit. The Escargot & Cocette Chicken were highlights!

Good food and ambiance, a bit dusty for outside seating. Tried the cheese plate, steak, croque monsieur, fish and chips, and creme brûlée (fave).

Stopped in for lunch, menu very nice with lovely setting in the gardens. We had a salad and the burger both we freshly made and great tasting. The prices are on the higher end but you are paying for the location which is perfect. Pretty busy but no waiting for a table
Mark Lowes - 10 months ago

I tried escargot for the first time and it was lovely. For main course I had fish and chips which was also excellent. On the minus side was that we had to wait for an hour between the courses although we reminded the waiter that we hadn’t gotten our food. We didn’t get any compensation.
