We went for dinner with a reservation and were seated right away. The staff were super friendly and even went out of their way to accommodate our drinks, even those not on the menu.
The food was top-notch and the dessert was amazing. We had a great time and truly enjoyed ourselves.
Definitely recommend!
They also had a live singer who sang all our favorite songs beautifully.

Excellent dishes and service. Historic, sure bet in this area. Right next to the opera, Galléries Lafayette and Le Printemps. I love the decor, the classic dishes, service, high-end vibes. You can also drop in for tea or apéro. They serve late dinners, so perfect spot after a show, even if you arrive after 10-11pm.

Café de la Paix offers a truly beautiful setting: elegant, historic, and full of Parisian charm. The soupe à l’oignon was excellent, rich in flavor and perfectly comforting. I wasn’t as impressed by the main course, which felt a bit less inspired, but the atmosphere and the quality of the service made the visit well worth it. A classic spot to enjoy a taste of old Paris.

The decor is beautiful and the food is great. We just stopped for a quick lunch. Be warned, this place is very expensive, but it is historic. I recommend going for a coffee. The brunch will set you back 120 euros

The Café de la Paix is a Parisian classic.
While it is certainly not the cheapest spot in the city, the experience justifies the price.
The staff is warm and welcoming, the setting is absolutely stunning, and the dishes are both refined and delicious.
A place where history, elegance, and hospitality meet perfectly.

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!

It’s actually quite easy to get a table here because the restaurant stays open on weekends and for long hours — but none of that compromises the quality. The flavors, the technique, and the execution are all there. We ordered the salmon and the turbot, and both were cooked perfectly, with balanced flavors and a delicious, well-crafted sauce. Carrots are so tasty from A Different World. Our waitress Barbara is excellent with very friendly and welcoming manner.

Beautiful restaurant in Paris with wonderful food and a charming atmosphere. Our waiter, Louis, was so kind and patient — his service made the experience even better.
The highlight was the exotic fruit pavlova — light, fresh, and absolutely delicious. A perfect ending to a truly memorable French meal.
Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic French cuisine!.

We had a very special anniversary dinner here and the food was excellent from start to finish. From the bread and butter to the surprise ice cream for dessert, the kitchen didn’t miss a beat! (Not to be missed is the mushroom tart starter.)
To top it off, our server, Louis, was extraordinary. Attentive, ready with information and suggestions, and as pleasant as could be, he made our experience extra-special!
Next time we’re in Paris, we hope to come again!

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!

A beautiful restaurant in the heart of Paris. Overall we had a good experience, however my warm dish arrived 10 minutes after my friends did. That’s not very nice as he was almost done eating when mine arrived.
Lotti - 3 weeks 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.

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.

Everything was pretty good. Meat was fine, I would say not medium but medium rare but it was fine for me. Fries were just ok. However, dessert was really delicious, lots of hot chocolate on top and you can pour more if you would like to. Service and atmosphere were nice. Overall, I would recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at this French restaurant! The food was exceptionally good—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality, which made the meal even more enjoyable. Our waiter, Alexandre, was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome throughout our visit. Highly recommend this place!

I recently returned to this restaurant after a year, and while it was a very satisfying meal, it wasn't quite as perfect as my last visit.
The oysters, which I believe are now not in season, were a bit smaller and less plump than before. However, the snails were delicious and quite meaty. This restaurant has a bit of history to it, which you can feel in the atmosphere. The service was good ; the staff was polite and accommodating.
This time, I was seated at a window table upstairs, and the seats felt uncomfortably low compared to the table. Despite a few minor points, it was still a great first meal in France right after landing, and I left happy.

We were a big group of 7 so reserved a table for dinner in advance. The restaurant was very nice to keep us a table upstairs as requested. We chose this restaurant to introduce French bistro traditional food to our visitors for its nice Belle Epoque style decoration. The interior was spacious with enough space in between tables so that you can eat and talk with your proper space. Food was properly done. The menu of the day option was really good value for money. All the waiters were very friendly and helpful gentlemen. Worth a try for your Paris visit.

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!
Curtis Dery - 3 weeks ago
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.

The visit was a mixed bag. I had kara age for starters and the Katsudon set. Both were good and I enjoyed it. My wife had the Ramen with minced meat. She felt that there was barely any protein in there and was quite disappointed.

If you're in a group, be prepared to wait in line for awhile. The food is tasty and worth the wait.
If you are alone , or sometimes two, you can usually go directly in at the counter.

Just what we needed on a rainy day in Paris! Walking distance from the Louvre. Luckily didn’t have to wait long for a seat even though the place was packed. Ramen was very delicious, Gyudon was very good! Highly recommend a visit!

One of the best meals we’ve had in Paris this summer. I had the Yaki Udon and my wife had the Gyuniku Uson (soupy). Both were delicious. It was near our hotel and we could see the waiting line every day so we decided to give it a try. We didn’t have to wait since we had an early dinner. Approved and Highly recommended.

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.
Cátia Santos - 3 weeks ago
Medium-rare steak is a masterpiece.
The perfect sear gives way to a juicy, uniformly pink interior. It’s incredibly tender with a rich, beefy flavor, seasoned just right. The texture and taste are exceptional.
An absolutely superb steak.

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.

We both ordered the Haché Montagnard. This was delicious. However, we ordered well done meat and it was quite pink. We should probably have been more specific and said “no pink at all” since it is France and not the USA. Otherwise no complaints at all.

Our party secured a reservation and pre-selected a bottle of wine. We requested the restaurant to open the wine in advance of our arrival. Upon our arrival, the wine was prepared for service. The restaurant offered an extensive selection of fine wines. The quality of the food and service was excellent.

WOW. This wound up being the only full meal we had in Paris this trip, and it was excellent. The warm madeleines, the wine selection, the FOOD. Go for the main and dessert option like we did, you don't need the appetizer. And dining al fresco with the weather we had was great. Service was top notch, no language barrier.
Gabriel Lerman - 2 months ago
Overall a very good place. The service was great. Excellent environment with a great wine selection. The scallops and octopus were fantastic but the 4 star rating on food was because the beef was undercooked and simply not a very good cut of beef. We'd likely return but the beef menu should improve.

We held a small event in the downstairs area followed by a lunch in the semi-private dining room. The restaurant was busy but our host and the rest of the waiting staff were very accommodating including finding extra space and bringing lunch out early for those people that needed to rush off. The food and wine served was excellent. We'll definitely be back!

We took friends out for a birthday dinner here and the meal was kind of a disaster. We were seated in a semi-covered courtyard, with music blaring to the point where we couldn’t hear one another. And near us was a table with two smokers whose smoke kept wafting over our table. We requested that they turn the music down, which they did. It was still loud, but we could converse. But, a half hour later they’d turned it back up.
And when one of our party (a Parisian woman) complained to them (nicely) about the smokers, the waiter pointed to the fact that we were sort of outside and therefore smoking was permitted. To make matters worse, the food was mediocre and the service was pleasant, but not great. Needless to say, none of us will be returning to that restaurant.
