Best Paris restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Opera Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

We had a super big seafood plater : Opera Royal x2 (Euro$115x2 plus Entrees : escargots, steamed asparagus and a soup ). The waiter was not attentive enough to change clean plates for us for the whole meal. The ordering process was not smooth. Staffs not patient and did not listen carefully. We had the wrong order at the first place, though the manager changed quickly but the experience was not good. We preferred the Entree to be served first then the seafood platter to share, but everything came at the same time and the table was too small. In general, food was good, service was not up to standard with this price tag : a bill of Euro $408. (for 2 Adults and 2 kids). Excellent food, service not up to standard.

Beautiful interior at the Cafe de la Paix. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the service. We ordered a bottle of water for seven people, but the waiter empty the bottle by the sixth cup, leaving my mom with no water. When the bread came, we asked for a gluten free option, which was acknowledged but did not arrive until the main course was served, which was way too late. We also ordered the seafood platter, and found that one whelk had an empty shell. When we told the waiter he simply laughed at us and did nothing to address our concern. The food was decent for its price, my personal favourite was the French onion soup. We also tried to soften the mood by speaking small bits of French with the waiter. The meal ended on a good note, with some delicious complementary chocolate, but overall the service was disappointing.

My most fav restaurant in Paris during the trip! The onion soup lives up to its reputation and the scallop dish was delicious. The waiter was very friendly, he made us feel comfortable and gave us excellent recommendations too! Love this place and will definitely come back again.

We just come by without any reservation. When we entered the restaurant,we were kept waiting a long while even the server told the table is cleaning. At this time, we were informed”just one minute and it will be ready soon”,but we waited for the table around 5~6mins and there were a lot of vacant table. When we sat down and saw the menu, there were written English but the words spelled were French dish name.Because we are not French,so I asked if there were ENGLISH menu or not, the server looked like ridicule us and replying us” it was all written in English,doesn’t it?” His attitude was arrogant and I felt this restaurant is not welcome foreigner at all. Btw, we couldn’t grasp the meaning of each dish,so we ordered a main course. (Sever also didn’t explain the food, he seemed to be talking order ASAP and left us to do his next step.) The price of course was higher than another restaurant,but I thought it was not worthy… (It would be the worst service I had experience in France of this travel.)

What a find in Paris. Been here twice and it is fantastic. Delicious pizza served (Francesco) on two plates since one is not enough. Perfect Rose and even a delicious Schnitzel, escalope milanase. Service friendly and direct. Sidenote; if you don't have reservations You won't be allowed to sit at the windows (lol), short "NO" is a factual information that you don't qualify. Everything else falls im line to have a best evening, French, fun, excellent kitchen and the culinary adventure you might want

The food was so delicious here. It’s predominately Italian food but done very well. The pizzas are huge and pasta’s just the right serving. The restarting is set in a small quiet courtyard which made it perfect for families with children as they could run around opposite the restarting without risk of being run over by a vehicle or scooter. The outdoor area is full of majority smokers however tables are far enough apart to not impact you too greatly if you don’t like it.

A modern-style refined Italian restaurant, this establishment has a high class atmosphere and on the quality of the cuisine it provides it certainly delivers. The Frettuccine al Pesto Genovese is a stand out for me, and the Tiramisu I shared was absolutely delicious. If you're staying around the Palais Garnier this is a dining experience I wholeheartedly recommend.

This has become one of our go-to restaurants in Paris. It's very close to our hotel and the food is consistently good. All the pizzas easily feed a person (usually with a slice or two left over) and some are quite large (they actually bring them out on 2 plates because 1 isn't big enough). My pizza was one of the large ones. The crust was thin and the edges were slightly more done, which I prefer. They were also able to accommodate my dietary prefernces by leaving off the cheese as I don't eat dairy. The service is really good, as well. We have one server that we love because she's so helpful and attentive, but we've never had bad service. I recommend making a reservation, as they are always quite busy. And while they may be able to accommodate you without a reservation, you will likely be subjected to a deep sigh and what I like to call the Paris "I can't believe you didn't make a reservation" eye roll. 😁 I highly recommend brecommend this restaurant for pizza.

This restaurants benefits from one the unique and remarkably beautiful spots in Paris that is both authentic and clean!! So you can inagine how sitting outside, being lucky to have the sun and then eating, drinking saomething here can be pleasant here!!! The artchitecture in this little square and buildings around it is amazing! So, i have given four stars as one is just for the vibe and unique view here. Then not all for the food experience!! In general the food was quite ok, we forgot to take pictures of all foods and one deessert we shared but all was quite OK! Just OK, ok?! From such Italian restaurant I expected more when I ordered veal milanese! Bdut for me it was not a "wow" kind of experiene neither the serving nor the taste.

The onion soup was terrible(!). Ravioli also. In general, I consider the cafe to be devoid of the French spirit. The service is fast and good, they made me a diet salad made of leaves, although for 13 euros) You can visit this establishment, but there is no reason to be impressed.

The restaurant has late opening hours and is located near the opera, making it ideal for a post-theatre dinner. The service is friendly, and the food is of good quality. Payments can be made online by scanning a code assigned to your table. However, the prices are a bit high.

Great food with great price! Ordered 1/2 dozen of Escargots, Onion Soup, Beef Tartar, Seabass and profiteroles. Everything delivered in perfection!

The worst service I received in Paris. We were seated very quickly in a nice corner, however the waiter was in a hurry as the place was full. When we asked for Lunch menu, the waiter got so "disappointed" that instead of handing me it, he basically threw the menu on me. The food was ok but nothing special taking into account the history and the variety of seafood that they serve. Though I was craving for a nice dessert and had actually a chosen one, we left the place right after having our mains, to have our dessert in a much nicer place. Not recommended at all, there are much cozier and tastier cafes and restaurant in every corner of Paris.

They also serve a set menu which is called Opera at a very good price. The food was good, the service was okay but it was very slow during the peak lunch time.

A restaurant with a tradition spanning over 140 years, it has undergone various transformations depending on changes in ownership. Today, it holds the Michelin recommendation status, aligning with its current reach. Offering a correct and quality French classical cuisine with a few interesting excursions, using high-quality ingredients and staff who are courteous and well-educated. Noteworthy dishes include scallops wrapped in spinach parcels on cauliflower puree with a carpaccio of fresh cauliflower. The redesigned Mont Blanc dessert features a prominent clementine sorbet that complements the delicate flavor of chestnut puree. It presents an upscaled version of a French bistro deserving a spot on the list!

We had a lovely dinner there on Saturday night. Excellent food and their staff members are efficient and helpful. Hostesses were really nice as well and went out of their way to help me with my child. Every dish was fantastic! I really enjoyed my steak tartar. We will be coming back to dine there again.
Sage Naka - 5 months ago

Dining at this restaurant was probably the best decision ever! The service was absolutely lovely, the food was amazing, I can‘t even begin to describe it. The restaurant is very classy, but not uptight. If you‘re looking for an affordable fine dining restaurant with good service, this is it! As soon as we get back to Paris, we‘ll definitely pay them another visit!

Probably the best meal we had in Paris. Service was too notch, presentation of dishes was unique. Food was excellent. Was lucky to get a reservation during fashion week. Would highly recommend

This was my second trip to this restaurant because a friend who I respect had raved about it and I thought my first visit, for lunch, was very average. So I thought I’d give them a second try. Unfortunately what I’ll remember most about this restaurant was, first, the arrogance with which we were treated by the captain who seems not to understand that making customers feel welcome is the most important thing a restaurant can do and, second, the lack of competence he and his staffed demonstrated. I visited many better places in this trip where the food and service excelled and at Drouant neither does. The restaurant is nice in a residential neighborhood and serves a classic French menu. The service is spotty and often we had to make the same request several times. We also heard other tables doing the same. Sometimes the captain acknowledged our request and did nothing, like ordering a glass of wine with our meal which, after multiple requests, came at the end of our meal. The food was OK, heavy, somewhat salty, and certainly not up to snuff for what is considered a good French restaurant. The fried shrimp were just that. The vol au vant was heavy, salty, had little shrimp and was a disappointment. All in all a real disappointment, twice. I felt no connection to this place, and would not return or recommend it.

We ate here because it was not far away from the Palais Garnier were we were going to the opera and needed a place were to eat that was open at 18:00. The reviews and photos on Google weren't that bad and we thought that it was difficult for a Ramen restaurant to be bad. We were very wrong. The food was, overall, terrible. They have the kitchen and seemingly the ingredients, but the cooking level is pretty low. My beef dish was extremely sweet, the taste of the curry too strong (not spicy, which would have been great, but just strong), the soup stock was bland. Terrible place.

Absolutely worth the wait! Forget about the line that forms outside, as service is very quick and you won’t be in line for long. It is worth every minute! Great place with great food at a very good price. Ramen was very generous and yummy, and the gyozas were also good and perfectly cooked (soft but crispy). Next time we come to Paris, it’ll be for another visit!
Pablo D. - 3 months ago

I had the opportunity to visit this place by chance. Later I found out after 9pm there's a long line out side. Crazy right! The food here is great. Plenty to Asian favorites Chicken katsu curry, Fried rice, onigris (riceball), yakisoba (sautéed noodles), karaage (fried chicken) About service. It was really slow at first and all over the place. I had to be a little aggressive to get their attention at first but it worked out afterwards Later, it was explained to me it was due to low staffing which I understand. All on all I had a good time and would def be back for the vibe and food

Good chiso ramen but too salty. The fried chicken is nice as an appetizer. The place is crowded but service is fast and there is fast throughput. Overall a good quick stop at a cheap Japanese cantine!
François LP - a week ago

My family was craving for Asian food after spending a week in Paris. This ramen place didn’t disappoint us. It’s not as good as ramen in our country but it’s still good. Soup was hot and noodle/udon was not soggy.

Very nice French bistro. The lunch was delicious and in case you got time for an extended lunch including a nice bottle of wine, don't forget to ask for the wine list. The choice of wonderful wines is as amazing as the dishes that get prepared in that small kitchen.

With a reasonable price, I'd say it beyond my expectations. And Madeline is hot when served! So nice.

Tucked away in a busy neighborhood, Bistro Volnay is the perfect culinary escape during a night in Paris. When I visited, I was greeted with extremely kind staff who were able to make every table feel like the only one in the room, even when the restaurant was full. The amuse bush was an incredible soup, and my order of steak and potatoes was an explosion of flavors. An amazing bistro to check out when in Paris.

Good food served in this restaurant. Products are fresh but meals are lacking balance. Quality / price ratio is met. Nice wine list. Staff is nice but service is slow. Few seatings available outside.

Lovely French Bistro that is run very well. Staff are superb, wine list is great. Food unfortunately came out cold so needed to be sent back but that was the only “issue” but was not a big issue. Great place

Very good service! I just love it!!! It’s much more than a “French service” - very attentive and careful to details - from welcome at the front and during the evening. We had Rodolphe who was serving us during the dinner - it’s TOP! Everything went more than perfect 😍
Oleksandra Ieromenko - 6 months ago

My friends and I got here by accident, and what a happy accident it was. The service was amazing, the food great and the atmosphere was very nice as well. The cocktails are fairly priced and well made. We had the filet de boeuf and it was cooked to perfection as we asked. The staff is very friendly makes you feel more than welcome. Definitely coming back once we’re back in Paris.

We walked in with no Rez but they were able to sit us in a back room. The other rooms are prettier but there was a view of the pretty rooms. The food and service were excellent! Good portions too if you like to eat!
Lee Knight - 10 months ago

The food was average at best. My vegetable platter was a small bowl with a ring of vegetables leaving the entire middle of the bowl empty. There were maybe 10 small pieces. I expected more for 25 euros. One of my colleagues had the 25 euro zucchini pasta and reported it was also "okay". My other 2 colleagues shared the steak for 2-3. They stated it was very, very good. The tables are set up in an inner courtyard which was nice. The service was typical of other restaurants I've visited on this trip which is to say you need to flag them down if you want something. Overall, it was okay but it isn't on my "return to" list.
Clint Padgett - a year ago

What an amazing place! Me and my wife went to the place with very late notice to the Resturant and they did the outmost to served us unique plates and cocktails on time before the kitchen is closed. We stay up to 1.00 am and still there are people inside having fun and enjoying drinks/wine/cocktails. I strongly recommend cucumber cocktail. Thank you guys we made our anniversary very special!

We had a great time here! We are visiting Paris and saw it as a recommendation. A lot of locals and great authentic French food. We arrived late and they still sat us. Everyone who worked there were great and very friendly/welcoming.

Super busy, super delicious and excellent service! Best restaurant we ate at while visiting Paris for the week. The pork rillettes were amazing. My husband said his burger was the best burger he ever had. Our server was wonderful and she also Spanish which made it much easier for us to communicate. A must visit!

We were recommended by our tour guide Dawid and can confirm, this place is a hidden gem. The food was absolutely amazing! I wanted to lock my plate clean. The staff are fun and friendly as well. Great vibes! The only downside is the seating is a little tight, but it means more people can experience how great the food is.
Kostan B - 2 months ago

The restaurant is super local so it is packed with cosutmer as the space is small. The food is typical french food. Ww hadthe steak which is nice.price is affordable. Note that you will need to wait a bit long for seat if you come for the dinner ans the seats are really close to other people. So not recommend for those who does not like such vibe Overall, it is a nice local french restaurant for porc, cheese and french speciality

We enjoyed lunch at Le Petit Vendome. While the establishment was small and buzzing with customers, it was a very good experience. The place buzzed with french locals enjoying meals with family and friends. I ordered the plate of the day - veal in mushroom cream sauce, and my family had the homemade pate and the beef cheek stew. All dishes came out quickly, portions were big, and the quality and taste were fantastic. I would highly recommend a visit!

I was amazed at how gorgeous the interior was. I went there because it was recommended on social media and it was really nice and I am glad I went. There were many people taking pictures, and I recommend stopping by when you are in Paris!

Well worth a visit if in Paris, probably one of the most beautiful Starbucks you will see. Lots of seating inside a stunning historic old building.
Tim Husain - 5 months ago

This place is absolutely stunning and a great spot for taking pictures. However, I highly recommend ordering an iced drink since there is no airside. I couldn't sit there for more than 20-30 minutes due to the heat. Despite the crowd, I was surprised to find a table right away. The Starbucks opera house conditioning in is beautiful, but it does get quite hot inside.
Julia Rose Goe - a week ago

Anyone visiting Paris must visit this Starbucks, an amazing place, truly an amazing place not to be missed. I ordered a strawberry and cream milkshake and it was amazing. Definitely highly recommend visiting there and even working there with your laptop!
