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

We had such an enjoyable stay at IC! Amazing Opera views and immaculate location to avoid public transport usage. Also, the attention to detail was outstanding. Every area of the hotel was impeccably maintained and the room was beautifully designed. The breakfast is truly exceptional; remarkable quality of ingredients and healthy options. I really look forward to returning soon!!!!

A beautifully decorated property that delivers the classic French luxury experience. It feels significantly more polished and better maintained than other historic hotels in the region. The Space: La Verrière is spectacular. I enjoyed my welcome tea there; the glass-roofed atrium provides a perfect, high-end atmosphere. The ambiance at the main restaurant, Café de la Paix, is equally impressive and worth a visit even if you aren't staying at the hotel. Their tasting menu is a bit pricey, but I think the ambiance plus the food quality is worth it. The Room & Facilities: The rooms are comfortable and capture that traditional Parisian elegance without feeling tired. My only critique is the gym, which was smaller than I expected for a hotel of this scale. I didn’t have a chance to experience the spa, but the overall hardware of the hotel is top-tier. Verdict: If you want the quintessential, historic Paris experience in luxury, this is the spot.

Breakfast at La Verrière, InterContinental Paris Le Grand A beautiful and very pleasant breakfast experience in a truly iconic setting. We arrived towards the end of breakfast service, ordered just before it finished, and were never rushed. On the contrary, we stayed comfortably, enjoyed the atmosphere, and eventually moved on to lunch, which says a lot about how enjoyable the experience was. The setting is stunning, under the glass roof surrounded by greenery, elegant and calm, perfect to slow down and enjoy the moment. The breakfast was generous and well prepared, with fresh pastries, good bread, and nicely executed dishes. Service was attentive, professional, and warm, with great attention to detail throughout our stay. We felt welcome the entire time. The only small note was the pain perdu, which arrived quite cold, but it was reheated without any issue when we mentioned it. TIP: Even if you arrive close to the end of breakfast service, they remain flexible and allow you to enjoy your time without pressure, which makes the experience even more pleasant. OVERALL: A refined and relaxed experience in a beautiful Parisian setting. We enjoyed it so much that I returned again two days later. Highly recommended.

I stayed here in October 2000. At that time, there was an ANA Hello Tour desk in the middle of the hotel stairs. More than that, I was able to stay very luxuriously now that I was just going to the hotel for sightseeing during the day and going back to the hotel. The rooms were wonderful, the bread was delicious at the breakfast venue, and I have good memories of eating too much. I passed in front of the hotel in 2024, and it was still a beautiful hotel, just like 24 years ago. If I come to Paris next time, I would like to stay at this hotel again!

I had a really great stay at Intercontinental Paris. The accommodation was comfortable, the service overall was excellent, and the location is very very convenient. The reception team were professional, welcoming, and always helpful. I’d like to give a special thanks to Burak for being kind, attentive, and genuinely caring about providing an amazing and great service. Also, the concierge service was exceptional, very efficient, responsive, and made everything smooth. Definitely a place I would visit again. Highly recommended.

A timeless Parisian experience. Café de la Paix is more than just a brasserie — it’s a piece of Parisian history. The setting is absolutely stunning, with its magnificent Belle Époque décor and an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast: excellent coffee, fresh juice, and delicious crêpes, all beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients was evident, simple yet refined, exactly what you expect from such an iconic place. Service was attentive, professional, and pleasant, making the experience even more enjoyable. Sitting there, you truly feel the soul of Paris — unhurried, refined, and timeless.

The restaurant side was much quieter than the café side, which I appreciated, and service started off very well. However, once the room became only slightly busier, it felt less attentive and at times a little impatient, which surprised me for a restaurant at this level. The food was a mixed bag. The drinks were strong, the oysters were delicious, the foie gras was good, and the beef tournedos was excellent. The millefeuille was also a lovely dessert. But other dishes were underwhelming: the white asparagus was bland and unevenly cooked, the crab with lime lacked flavor, and the sea bass with crispy rice was disappointing. Our side of fries was also forgotten and only arrived after we reminded the staff, lukewarm. I’m glad I tried it, but for the price, I expected a more polished and consistent experience.

Café de la Paix was absolutely outstanding. We had the croque monsieur and croque madame, and they were the most perfect and delicious versions we’ve ever tried. The cheese was truly French in both style and flavor, rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Everything was executed flawlessly, from the crisp bread to the silky béchamel and beautifully melted cheese. A classic done to perfection in an iconic setting. An unforgettable experience and a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic French cuisine.

I came on Saturday afternoon around 3 p.m. I needed to queue about 5 minutes but then soon got a table for 5 people. The staffs were really nice and they spoke English quite well. I ordered an iced matcha latte. The interior decorations were really beautiful. A good place to take beautiful pictures.

Some places you visit… and some you remember. Café de la Paix is the kind of place that makes you slow down without even realising it. The setting, the light, the way the food arrives… everything feels intentional. The dishes were beautifully presented and full of flavour, but it was the overall experience that made it stand out. There is a sense of ease and quiet elegance that is hard to find. It felt like Paris… in the best way.

It was a very hot day to have lunch in the restaurant. We ordered oysters for appetizers. The oysters were fresh and creamy even they were small. The main course, spring chicken, was delicious, it was soft, juicy and tender. Mille-feuille was also delicious.

The best brunch in Paris! with friends or kids, we came with both, it was a dream. They gave us a private room upstairs so our kids could move freely between our room and the kids corner. We will be back. Inès was so kind and polite from the beginning to the end. Thank you!

We absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was excellent, incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor without feeling heavy. The service was just as impressive. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, and they were incredibly gracious about accommodating someone in our party with allergies. They handled everything with care and made us feel completely at ease. Overall, it was one of our favorite meals in Paris, the kind of place you leave already planning to return. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely anniversary meal here last night. The building itself is beautiful, as is the decor. Service was friendly but it took some time to track down the bill and get the table cleared. The martini was one of the worst I've ever had, and the mushroom tart was a bit soggy which is why I have removed a star for the food rating. But the king crab salad, lamb chop and turbot were all fantastic, as was the single profiterole we shared for dessert. It was an expensive meal but I would certainly recommend.

Great spot for a quiet glass of Champagne. Lovely staff. Sitting outside here is a quiet oasis in the heart of Paris. The lady behind the bar does An amazing job to make you feel ,welcome. The concert next door on Wednesday night was a bonus.

Charming restaurant in a quiet square behind the Opera. My wife and I had a wonderful meal here in mid September, sitting outside to enjoy the late summer weather. The owner is very friendly and charming and the pasta dishes were fantastic. Highly recommended.

I absolutely loved this Italian restaurant! The vibe was cozy, the staff were super welcoming, and the food was bursting with flavor. You can tell everything is made with passion and fresh ingredients. Such a great place to enjoy good food and a relaxed atmosphere – I’ll definitely be back!
Izabela - 7 months ago

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 wonderful place with a truly luxurious atmosphere. The design of the restaurant is very stylish and elegant you feel comfortable and impressed from the very first moment. The interior is thoughtfully designed and creates the perfect setting for a special evening. The food was also excellent. We ordered a seafood platter, escargots, meat, and prosecco everything was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. You can really feel the quality and care in every dish. Overall, this is the kind of restaurant you visit for the atmosphere, great food, and a memorable evening. Highly recommended for dinner or a special occasion.

My wife had a craving for seafood so we ventured into this lovely restaurant which served up some great food which did not disappoint. The quality of the food was excellent esp the French onion soup and seafood platter. The waiter who served us was friendly and took time to explain some the dishes to us and as a bonus, we bumped into Zendaya right after the meal as there was movie reception next door. Only in Paris!

My favorite place in Paris! We come back here every time. Incredibly delicious cuisine, snails, foie gras, duck breast, tar tar, the freshest seafood and, of course, crepe flambe! The waiters are very caring, special thanks to Shimul!!! You are the best!!!!

The food was well prepared very fresh and savory it will meet your expectations for the food. Atmosphere average but not the most welcoming. Service for this level of restaurant and pricing was sub par, when you're spending over $200 euro per person your hoping to feel and see more quality. I've been fortunate to have been to many nice restaurants, this one you can tell was not organized as a team different plates going to different tables, checking up on your your meal or wine was very long periods... Waiting just to pay are bill was 30 min. With the amount of amazing restaurants in Paris, and if you have the budget to spend at a place like this, I would spend the money to get the food and service not just one!

beautiful place, wonderful atmosphere. patê en croute and vol au vent. was amazing. great wine selection. the sommelier was friendly and knowledgeable.

I was slightly nervous after reading some of the not so nice reviews about this restaurant but I am SO glad that I kept the reservation and trusted the esteemed recommendation that I had received. This was all around an amazing experience. The restaurant decor, the ambience, the service, the wine and the food were so very good. On top of that, the 'experience' of their plating and service; the tartare, the lemon sorbet. The tartare was outstanding, with a kick of spice. Everyone was friendly and attentive but not over the top which is how I like it. Highly recommend and ignore the lukewarm reviews.

Mark this place for Japanese hot food lovers after a friend insisted we go. And the reason I specify hot is as a key word as the open kitchen and yakitori style really helps you leave with a tummy full and a happy heart. I had the worst cold and their miso soup got me cured. We had the fried rice with crevettes / prawns and beef, everything was delightful, we ate it up so quickly forgot the pictures. Coming back often for its consistency.

Given the large number of excellent reviews, we had high expectations. Unfortunately, the atmosphere of the restaurant was disappointing — the tables are very close to each other, and it was impossible to even stretch a little without bumping into items on the neighboring table. The food was rather average. We ordered several starters to get a sense of the menu, but none of them really stood out. The gyoza dumplings were presented as homemade, but in reality they seemed store-bought. 🥲 In addition, the lighting in the restaurant is very harsh and uncomfortable, making you want to leave as soon as possible rather than stay and enjoy the space. The worst food we have ever had in our lives was the bento box with beef. The sauce was excessively sweet, and the meat was extremely tough and chewy. After just one bite, we couldn’t continue eating it. 🥲 The best part of the meal was the Japanese curry, which I would rate 9/10.

We visited this amazing restaurant in summer. The place was almost completely empty. We waited very shortly for our dumplings. Then hot food arrived. Noodles were amazing but curry ramen soup was unbeatable! Better than in japan tbh. We didn’t go in with big expectations, but left extremely pleased. The highlight was our waiter, who looked like jonny depp. He was very nice, made funny jokes and shared a little bit of his life story. Overall it was a really good experience(except for the bathroom, it wasn’t exceptionally clean)
Mariana Dobrovolska - 5 months ago

Good Japanese food in a contemporary environment! The menu should satisfy any cravings, as should the fast service. The vegetarian ramen and the Yakiniku (beef with a sweet caramelised sauce) were good, but the kimchi ramen was a bit disappointing. The service upon entering seemed a bit confused as well. We asked three different waiters for a table and all gave a vague and different response and disappeared afterwards. We got there early in the evening so the wait was okay but when we left there was a substantial line outside, so be ready for waiting. I'm not sure if the food was worth a long long wait but give it a go when the line's not too bad.

This area has no shortage of Japanese restaurants and it is hard to know which to choose. This is the star in the crown for me. No bookings possible so you may have to queue for a short time. But the staff come to give you an idea of the waiting time. Service is very smooth and friendly. The kitchen is open so you can watch the chefs at work. The best Japanese food in Paris in my view and the place where I always return. Arigato!

Overall, this was a less than average experience. The food was good, but the service really affected our visit. The 3 stars are only for our waiter’s attitude, he was fine. Unfortunately, the welcoming team was disappointing. They saw us several times sitting at the table and acted as if we weren’t there, which made us feel ignored. With better attention and hospitality at the entrance, the experience could be much improved.

My experience at Hippopotamus Steakhouse in Paris was truly exceptional! From the very first moment, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The lighting, décor, and even the people inside created a wonderful and inviting environment, perfect for enjoying a relaxed meal. The food was outstanding — incredibly tasty, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried reflected high-quality ingredients and great attention to detail. A special mention goes to the service, which was absolutely excellent and extremely attentive. The staff were polite, friendly, and genuinely eager to help with anything we needed, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. It is clearly far superior to the corresponding location on 68 Bd du Montparnasse, both in terms of food quality and overall service and dining experience. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend it!

Overall, it was a positive experience. The food was good and the meat was well cooked. The antipasti stood out, with some absolutely divine cheeses. However, the knives definitely need sharpening, as this would improve the experience. It would also be important to include allergen information on the menu for better clarity and customer safety.

We had dinner here on our last night in Paris, and it did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was high quality and incredibly tasty. It was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday evening, filled with locals—which is always a great sign. Despite how busy it was, the service remained excellent. The staff was attentive, the food arrived quickly, and everything was beautifully presented. The combination of quality, flavor, and service made for a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

A cozy restaurant on one of the main streets just right in the Heart of Paris. The food quality (especially the steak) is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable considering the portion sizes and high quality of meals. The service is also satisfactorily acceptable.
