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

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.

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!

Went on Thursday, when the museum is open until 10pm, so we decided to stay for dinner. Comparing the menu of the restaurant with the one of the coffee shop, the prices were about 10€ higher. Just for the location in our opinion it was worth it. We got the filet with Anna potatoes, the meat was tender and juicy, cooked on point (we asked for rare). We also ordered a bottle of red wine to go with it, and it was definitely enough for the two of us. To end nicely we got the chocolate dessert (Eclair du chocolat) that was moist and flavorful. The waiter was super friendly and nice, he made sure multiple times during dinner that we were good and happy with our dishes. At the end the price wasn’t too bad considering the location and the quality of the food. Recommended if you are staying for dinner.

Definitely worth going for lunch. Stunning room and fabulous service, just lower your expectations with the food. One of us had the cod which was nice, but the Caesar salad was not good, overly dressed no egg or bacon and just not good. But you do somewhat forget that as the room is so stunning and the staff are fabulous

You feel like a queen in her castle when you dine here. They don't accept reservations, and I recommend eating there around 11 or 11:30. We got right in, but there was a huge line when we left. We both had ravioli, and it was incredible. I had ice cream in this cool frozen glass cup, and my friend had a true French eclsir. Wonderful!!!

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.

Onion Bhajji was good. Other dishes were okay okay. However, when we second time since it was near by and everything closes soon, we went just 5-10 mins late. We weren’t given a seat. Cmon, have some courtesy to offer whatever little. Sometimes strict policies can be deferred. My take.

Excellent meal and a lovely atmosphere. One of the nicest tikka masalas I've ever had. The Naan breads we're all amazing.
Steve Dent - 3 months ago

Outstanding. The Chicken tikka starter is some of the best Indian cuisine we have ever had. I'm not trying to be over the top. I'll eat anything and be happy. I was in Paris 2 weeks and came here several times. There is a lot of the alright food in Paris for over the top prices but this place was different and full of flavor. I would come here ever time in Paris. The tikka masala was good. Biryani rice was good. The butter chicken was great. Medium spice will leave you daring to try spicy. Spicy will get the sweat just about ready to start so unless you like hot things medium is perfect. The cheese naan is a great addition. You will walk away beyond satisfied. Sorry no pictures. Ate it too fast

We stumbled on this restaurant by accident. What a lucky find! The vegetable samosas, garlic naan, murgh vindaloo, and Punjabi pilaf all were excellent. The service was terrific, and we Berry much enjoyed the evening. A great find on the left bank.

My absolute favourite place in all of Paris! Not only is this restaurant walking distance from Musee d'Orsay, the food and service is spectacular. They do a really good lunch offer where it costs less than 20 euros for an entree and main. The sea bass with taragon cream was my favourite! It was cooked perfectly and the sauce went hand in hand with the fish. I also loved their chocolate fondant.

We loved this little restaurant. The food was warm and cozy and perfect for a rainy day in Paris. The staff were all polite, and the restaurant was a romantic nook.

Wonderful food; near Musee d’Orsay but not too many tourists. Giant Mont Blanc.

The atmosphere was quiet. Food was phenomenal. Service was fast and courteous. Hidden gem if not for google Maps. I had octopus to start off, the steak(medium) which was scrumptious, mashed potatoes were delicious, and strawberry sorbet for dessert. Topped off with red wine.

Best food we had in France while on holiday fromAustralia. Try the escargot, really well done. Loved the atmosphere and great service. The ratatouille with the sea bass was amazing, and the chocolate moose was decadent and delicious. Not often a restaurant gets all 3 courses perfect.

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!

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.

Lovely food but the owner must have trouble getting or training staff. Only 1 server plus receptionist. They were literally running through the dining room and were so stressed out. It was surreal to have good food with such nutty service.

It is a perfect place for a quick bite to eat. Just because it's a chain doesn't mean it isn't worth trying. We find that this place is consistent with delicious sandwiches and sweet treats. I enjoyed a ham and cheese baguette as well as red fruit tart. Also had good coffee and lots of seating, which is not easy to come by in this area. Extremely good bread, I would recommend.

Convenient stop for a late afternoon coffee and dessert. Our pastries were excellent and the coffees good! I still think about that raspberry tart lol

Erik Kayser Boulangerie in Paris is a French bakery. It has multiple.locations in the heart of the city, this boulangerie is a haven for those seeking an authentic and delectable taste of French craftsmanship. The aroma of freshly baked bread when I entered made me hungry. The display of golden baguettes, artisanal pastries, and an array of decadent treats is appealing, inviting patrons to indulge their senses. Their surprise bags at the app "to good to go" are worth it!

We stopped 2-3 times at this place as it was convenient for us to have a breakfast. What we ordered every time was OK. I strange custom - if you consume at the table you are charged extra... But I was impressed by the beignets - OMG little cloud of delight!

This was just another stop on the Paris Croissant tour. This was on a Sunday and as we learned, most places are closed on Sunday's but luckily this was open. We ordered a croissant and a Quiche Lorraine. The croissant was one of the best in Paris that I have had. You could taste the butter which I really liked. The quiche lorriane was super super super hot when they heated it up. To the point where I could not even hold it in my hand. It was nice for sure but not the best quiche I have had.

A lovely lunch time trip with wonderful views of Paris. My husband and I are both vegetarian and the food was fantastic. Neither the service nor the trip felt rushed. Our waiter, Georges, was friendly and helpful.

Without any doubt, the absolute highlight of our weekend in Paris! We were a little bit hesitant as it's quite expensive, but we are so glad we did the evening cruise at 18h45. Everything about it was lovely. Great food, fantastic lady singer singing a wide selection of songs in French and English, excellent service from our waiter. We booked online and paid for the drinks package, so there was a glass of champagne waiting for us when we were seated. The food was great - especially the large starter and the chocolate dessert. chicken with quiche was very tasty but we could have done with a little bit more sauce and vegetables. With our drinks package we were given a bottle of wine with our meal, and a large bottle of still water. There was no pressure on us to buy additional drinks (which is good as they were expensive!). The whole thing including the drinks package cost €104 each, and the only extras was €8 that my partner decided to pay for the cheese plate. We didn't pay for window seats and we were seated in the middle of the boat but we still had great views - to be honest the window seats looked a little cramped! You arrive at 1815 for an 1845 departure. The boat left a little late and we returned at around 2010 (10 minutes late). It was just the right length of time on the boat to see everything and eat the food. If we do ever go to Paris again we would definitely do this again. Highly recommended!

Overall pretty good experience except for the service outside the boat. Got an email on the day of the cruise mentioning rescheduled to later time due to technical issues. I was already surprised why they didn’t called when the price paid is not cheap. Lack of responsibility #1. On reaching the rescheduled time mentioned in email and showing the email, staff receiving have no idea on why the email was sent and asking me the question ‘Why I didn’t showed up earlier’? I had to wait their with the kids when all others where onboarded and multiple people checking email from them and confirmation code. Worst thing is they were even admitting people who just come without pre-booking. Eventually I have to step in to the boat and talk to staff inside and they let me in. It was not a pleasant start. Very friendly staff inside and the live music and atmosphere kind of compensated for the remaining part. In short Bad experience from outside staff. Good atmosphere and food inside.

We booked the 6:45 p.m Seine Dinner Cruise, and check-in began at 6:15 pm at the boarding area in front of the Musée d'Orsay. It is highly recommended to pay extra for reserving a window seat/table that we do enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Seine River and Paris's famous landmarks while indulging in delicious food; moreover, live performances of several songs added greater ambiance instantaneously and the staff who served us that day was very friendly, making it a memorable and pleasant evening.

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).
MayraA Perea - 7 years ago

Very quick and healthy option. Ingredients quality is not the best but for a quick lunch it is OK and not too expensive for the surroundings. However, anything on top of the salad is super expensive. The choice of ingredients is OK, nothing exceptional compared to other salad bars but allows you a good variety in your salads.

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.
Anne G - 8 months ago

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 - 2 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.
Meli Yil - a year ago

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.

Excellent experience! Visiting from the USA, the food was absolutely delicious. Our waiter Oliver was awesome, very friendly and spoke English. We ordered the Caesar Salad with Fried Chicken, Duck Breast and Cheeseburger and would highly recommend these items.

We made a reservation three weeks ago, and they had a free table for us when we came. Was very nice that we didn’t wait. The food was delicious and very big portions, very impressive for Paris. The meat was very tender and tasty. We were full for the first time in Paris and for reasonable price. Definitely worth visiting 🇫🇷 👍 10/10 Service is great, the waiter work fast and well, the German speaking staff is polite and friendly

Good food with excellent atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The meat was delicious and the burger was ok but it was a little salty to my taste. I recommend this place if you’re in for a French restaurant near Orsay
Bahram Movahed - in the last week

Love their steak and their onion soup! Though the onion soup was given by mistake when I ordered the snails. Either way, great way to fill your stomach up after a busy visit at the Orsay!
Brian Wu - in the last week

This place is a must! The service was excellent and the atmosphere inside feels so cozy and nice. About the food we had a Ribeye steak (29euros) and a Duck breast (26euros) main dishes which were both absolutely tasty with lots of flavours. Will come back again for sure!
