Paris restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Musée d'Orsay Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

We continued our tradition of eating at every historical place or museum in Europe and this one was the best. The food was exquisite, but the atmosphere makes the food taste even better. How impressive is this dining hall?! The food was divine from the cheese souffle to the duck pomentier and the secret dessert. Loved it all. Service was great as well. No reservations, so get there early and get in line. It's worth it.

The main course was the best, we had Normandy style fish and Cod fitters. Deducting one star because the dessert was not good, we had chefs special chocolate filled with passion fruit. It was just sweet. The interior was excellent and gave a royal ambience. No booking, just a queue which grows longer between 13:00-14:00.

Fantastic! We went there on Thursday night with the late opening ticket. The main course, sea bass, is delicious, and the price is reasonable. The champagne and dessert are also good. The waiter is professional and friendly. This is going to be my must-visit whenever I visit Paris!

What a fantastic place inside Musée d'Orsay! The Musée d'Orsay Restaurant is a stunning tribute to French culture inside the former train station. While exploring the museum, we wanted to take a break and stumbled upon this eatery. We decided to give it a try, and we loved it! We ordered a simple dessert with some refreshments, and they were perfect. This restaurant is adorned with frescoes by Gabriel Ferrier and Benjamin Constant, which make it awe-inspiring; chandeliers on the painted ceiling and gilding gave us a unique and unforgettable experience.

Convenient place to get some decent food while visiting the D'Orsay museum. Food is just average, but the ambience is spectacular. They use a highly processed chicken finger in the caesar salad. Seafood dish had a strong fish smell.

We love this tiny gem of a restaurant and have been visiting it for years. The owner, Sudat, is warm and welcoming, the service is friendly and the cuisine is outstanding - it is consistently delicious Indian food. The Jingas Madras (shrimp) and the Murg Tikka Masala (Chicken) are our favorites. There is a reason Ravi has been in business for 40 years - it never disappoints.

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.

Excellent food in a very cosy atmosphere. The Rose Lassi was divine! Also - some of the cleanest toileets I've seen ANYWHERE in the world!

This was a wonderful experience on my recent trip to Paris! The server was friendly and spoke English, and even put up with my bad attempts at ordering in French. I started with Kir to drink and then had escargot, the pork chop, and the chocolate mousse for dessert. Seriously, everything was phenomenal! The escargot was among the best I've ever had, the celeriac puree with the pork chop was amazing (and the pork chop itself was wonderfully cooked but a little fatty), and the mousse was mind blowing! The mousse comes with a very large portion, and it's quite rich, so make sure you save room for it (but definitely order it as it's their specialty dessert). A glass of Calvados 10 helped it go down smoothly, though. I'd definitely recommend this place! You might need a reservation, but I went right as they opened and had no issue getting a table.

We enjoyed the food - the escargot as well as the porkchop with the celeriac puree were the standouts. The sea bass fillet still had several bones in it, so although the flavors were good, it wasn’t as enjoyable to eat. The chocolate mousse is delicious but because it has such a rich texture, it can easily be shared across 2 and maybe even 3 people if you don’t have much of a sweet tooth. The same goes for their mont blanc. It’s best to make a reservation since people were turned away while we were dining. Expect to be seated closely to the other diners, and it can get a bit loud inside the restaurant as well. Service was good and straightforward.

I stopped in following a visit to the L'Orangerie. The gentleman at the front said I could dine if I left in an hour. The server was helpful and was busy throughout. The front guy was aggressive and kept loudly correcting her. The "omelette baveuse" was excellent. I asked if I could add dessert and front man gave me "5 minutes maximum". I found his behavior, even for Paris, extremely rude. I enjoyed the food but think the front needs a lot of work. The server was kind.

Escargots was fantastic! A wonderful first experience! Also, the chocolate mousse was incredibly rich!

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.

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!

I was pleasantly surprised. We booked for New Year’s Eve river cruise with entertainment. The food was great, the service was quick and the atmosphere was good. The sound system for the singer was poor at times but that didn’t take away from the evening too much. Tablets were quite close together and we were placed on a table of 8 with no other English speaking guests. There were however other English speaking guests located around us… this isn’t impact too much and was a timely reminder that I need to brush up on my French. We took the metro out from art1 to the dock which took no more than ten minutes. The walk to the dock from the station took five minutes at most.

Our experience was amazing! Ban our server was the best server we’ve ever had. He was so sweet & accommodating. The food was excellent, the salmon was outstanding. The whole vibe was so lovely & the live singer was incredible. This company truly made sure their guests felt welcomed. For anyone looking to book I would 100% recommend!

Just got off the plane so wanted something less strenuous and hopped into this nice cruise just next to the D’Orsay. Boarding well before 12:30pm and started on the appetizer. Nice food and fair portions, steak cooked just right. Worth paying the 30 euro extra for a bay window view at the front of the boat great for phototaking. Highlight was serving the chocolate Eiffel Tower just as the boat arrived at the real Eiffel. Enthusiastic service. 1.5hr trip is just right, saw Notte Dame, Eiffel Tower, pont Neuf , parliament, louve …etc. got my moneys worth.

Enjoyable cruise down the Seine, passing the Louvre, around L’Ile de la Cite, etc. and back to dock near the Musee d’Orsay. No audio tour, just very nicely curated and tightly scheduled French cuisine with an ever changing view. My daughter enjoyed experiencing some of the dishes, while engaging passers-by with a friendly wave.

Went for St. Valentine's Day to enjoy each other and the view of the city. Overall was enjoyable, however we felt incredibly rushed with this being only a 1.5hour dinner cruise. The waiter was constantly asking if we were done when we were clearly not. And on top of it, there's only bottled water, which is twice as much as other restaurants that we had to purchase for a glass of water we wanted, and of course could not take it with us when we left. On top of the price for your dinner you pay ahead of time, apparently that Does Not include an EXPECTED tip. Not cool. The view was great as you slowly go by the Eiffel Tower. This short dinner cruise does not go by Notre Dame.

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).

Riccardo and giacomo were the most fantastic duo! We loved the food, they went above and beyond on the service. It was like stepping into Italy getting to enjoy an authentic Italian family dinner. Will be back!

Best Italian food I can remember eating! We started with Jamon and Melon, which was fresh and delicious. The fresh truffles on handmade pasta was amazing. We also tried the handmade Tagliatelle, the tiramisu and the dessert du jour. the street is beautiful in the setting sun, great servers, nice quiet location, and everything was delicious.

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.
Marie-Linh Gastel - 3 years ago

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.

Portions are a little smaller but the food is amazing. Recommend doing family style because we got to try a ton of different food. We had the fried veal with potatoes (amazing and crispy), pappardelle noodles with bolognese sauce (both pictured below and so tasty). We also ordered the fish, ravioli and creamy tagliatelle. Everything was soooo delicious and we ate it all up. The food came out fast too which was great because we were hungry.

This is one of my favorite spots in Paris. The specialty is the coquelet, a very small male chicken, served with a great sauce and very buttery mashed potatoes. Each time is excellent, service is fantastic and finally the Creme Brulee, probably the best I've had. Great location, right by Musee d'Orsay. Don't miss this spot if you are in the area, not a bad idea to reserve ahead of time to guarantee your table!!! Lots of other options as well!!

My wife, Son and I really enjoyed the Burgundy Snails. None of us had ever had Frogs legs before and they were superb. We are hoping to come back the end of the week before going home. The waiter was really helpful and even showed me how to hold and get the snails out. We then came back 3 days later and had dinner. The famous cockerel was lush, so was the ribeye and the mixed platter was extremely filling. Highly recommend this place if in Paris.
Jason Harvey - a month ago

The atmosphere and the service were the real positives. Waitstaff was very attentive and kind; this was also routinely noted in the other reviews I read and I found accurate. The food, however, was very lackluster. I had the onion soup and frog legs. Everything was incredibly bland; absolutely no depth of flavor. Onion soup is something I will always try on a menu but this one tasted like brown water. I was very disappointed given the positive food reviews. With so many dining options in Paris, I would not ever choose to return here on account of the unflavored food and I would not recommend it.

The menu has lots of variety and the meals our group ordered were all delicious! The beef bourguignon was probably the winner. My lamb shoulder (pictured) was also incredible. The presentation of the dishes were top notch. Great cocktails, too!

Nice place in the park for lunch, if you have time. We had to wait a long time (more than 40 minutes) for the food to arrive. Sure, it was peak lunchtime, and there were also many servers, but it seemed like the kitchen was at limited capacity. The food was quite good, i had the risotto with gambas (very delicious), my partner had fish&chips, the fries were unfortunately already a bit cold. We had two different mocktails as a drink, which were good but way too much ice (as big cubes). Price-wise it was quite ok given the location.

We had a nice little stop here during a recent warm afternoon and enjoyed a Mediterranean Platter and round of drinks while resting our feet. Prices are a bit high but not unreasonable, food quality was fine. Environs great during nice days.
