Corner restaurant in the heart of Paris. Today, we tried two dishes from the hotel chain: Escargot and Fish and Chips. The oysters were juicy with butter and pesto. The oysters were soft and clean. The fish and chip was usually saltier. The service was excellent. The view was great.

Beautiful atmosphere, best Mille Feuille had. Didn’t get her name, but host was spectacular. Confident and warm… professional and attentive, understood guest desire for space or not. Inspiring and educating. Great hospitality here, definitely taken time. Beautiful tailored uniforms too. Price point was steep, albeit experience was worth it.

Had a very nice lunch here. The croque madame is definitely very tasty, although for € 26 it could have been slightly bigger in my opinion. What I did like was the overload of ham in it! Amazing! Fries were included!
The cappuccino tasted very basic from your average kitchen coffee machine, the orange juice was tasty!

What a jewel to find in the most beautiful city in the world. I discovered the absolute best white wine of my life, thanks to Yanis our outstanding waiter. The foie gras was amazing. The bread was almost to beautiful yo eat…. But ate we did! We ordered the Petits-pois à la française et oursin des côtes bretonne and the filet de merlu ….. delicious! We were so hungry and taken with the dishes I didn’t snap a picture of it…… We were greeted by Sarah what a lovely hostess she was and knowledgeable about the menu and the city. The ambiance the decor is almost as wonderful as the food. What a great experience we will be returning in September!

Beautiful restaurant with many private rooms you can book. Definitely on the pricier end but you’re also paying for the beautiful space. Food looks like very classic French food done well, nothing crazy. Drinks are on the pricier end too. But would definitely come back for a drinks night!

Dining at La Fontaine Gaillon was an exquisite experience from start to finish. The mushroom pâté was a true testament to refined technique—silky, deeply flavorful, and beautifully balanced, offering an umami complexity that lingered on the palate. The fish course was simply outstanding: impeccably fresh, cooked to perfection, and elevated by a delicate yet expressive sauce that showcased the finesse of the kitchen.
Desserts were no less impressive—artfully plated and thoughtfully composed, they delivered a perfect harmony of textures and flavors. The wine selection, expertly suggested by the sommelier, was a seamless match to the meal, enhancing each course with precision and depth.
Beyond the impeccable cuisine, the service was polished and attentive, embodying the warm sophistication that defines Parisian fine dining. La Fontaine Gaillon remains a must-return destination—an address where gastronomy, elegance, and hospitality converge in perfect harmony.

We had a very lovely experience here. The service was great. Everyone was very kind and had no issues with us not speaking French. The cocktails were excellent and the food was very good. Our hotel recommended this restaurant and it was a solid choice. For traditional French cuisine with a modern twist and good cocktails, be sure to check this restaurant out.

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.

The best truffle pizza I’ve had since I came to Paris you should to try it , great service and nice atmosphere
dina Mohammed - 4 months ago
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.
Mahyar Moradi - a year ago
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.

Booked for a Friday night & it was reasonably busy however the service was still good. The food was nice, the duck was really good. The salad was pretty average. Not a huge selection of drinks but that was fine. It was expensive but overall we were pretty impressed

Fantastic dining experience - from the textiles to the attention to detail… all perfection. Grateful for the late night dining option!!
We ended up doing the meal + dessert of the day - tremendous value! I’ve attached images for reference :)
Special thanks to Shimul for his five star hospitality and warmth. He was the cherry on top of a magical dinner.
Lori Tishfield - 2 months ago
Honestly very disappointed.
Food I would give it a 3 star, the shrimp/lobster and oyster was very good and fresh. But the half crab was clearly not fresh, it smells and tastes overly “fishy” and ammonia-like, the taste is an already a bit bitter and the texture turned mushy and overly dry. Also you can see from the crab leg meat clearly that the color of the meat is not white and turned very yellow even brown.
But I am sure they didn’t intentionally put unfresh crab for me, pre-cooked sea food like this can have this problem if not put in the right temperature or for a bit longer. But the way they dealt with it is very unprofessional and unacceptable.
They didn’t return it back to the kitchen to check the quality, instead just two waiter smell it and say it’s good then keep telling me it’s just my taste is not used to it. I told them from all taste, smell, texture and color the meat is off, but they just say that because they smelled it, it’s the right smell…and never with any apology…
And other parts of the service also very bad, I entered the restaurant and stood there for few minutes before anyone come to greet and lead me to a table. I ordered a sparkling water, asking them for ice and lemon, asked 3 times to 3 different waiter, all said yes but until I left it never arrived. I ordered a soup, but it never arrived, until I pay and left no one said sorry that they missed my order.
Overall, I think it’s a good restaurant worth trying, but the waiter’s service really needs to improve.

We’ve been in Paris for a week, and out of all the places we’ve eaten, Grand Café Capucines has been one of the absolute highlights. The service was truly exceptional—our waitress went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. She was kind, attentive, and genuinely made our dining experience special. The food was amazing from start to finish, but the French onion soup was a definite standout—a must-try! Rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. If you’re in Paris and looking for a great meal with top-notch service, this is the place.

Absolutely delicious food and great service at a reasonable price! It was fairly quiet but this place needs more attention. Definitely try the beef tartare.

“Drouant in Paris offered an excellent tasting menu that day, showcasing refined flavors and impeccable presentation. The sommelier guided me to a fantastic wine pairing, elevating the experience even more. The food was outstanding, though the service felt a bit rushed—my only observation. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great attention to detail.”
Rubén De Abreu - 3 months ago
Known as a historic French restaurant, I visited with high expectations but found the experience somewhat underwhelming. The beef tartare was well-seasoned and enjoyable, but the chicken dish was quite tough and difficult to chew. Overall, the meal fell short of what I had hoped for.
Johnson Lou - 6 months ago
I visited with friends on Monday. The food was great, and the interior was fabulous. It could have been the perfect lunch if we had received professional service.
We weren’t offered water until we were asked to be ready to order. On top of that, the waiter kept looking for something in his pocket intentionally, which was very unprofessional. Because of this, we decided not to order more food or wine.
It’s no surprise they don’t even deserve one star. I strongly believe this is due to a lack of professionalism from the front-of-house staff. What a shameful experience.

The food tastes really good, I’ve been there a few times already. There can be some waiting before getting in but I’d say it’s pretty worth it. It’s a huge restaurant so the wait isn’t usually that long but be aware that in the evening and on the weekends it’s packed! The service can be a bit slow, once again understandable considering the fact there’s a lot of people but it should be noted. The prices are pretty fair for food in Paris, not too expensive.
Ambre Grini - 2 months ago
We found all the ramen we ordered to be quite salty. Although we read good reviews, it didn’t suit our taste. The gyozas and siu mai were good.
There was no line when we arrived, and the place was noisy.
Jelly - in the last week
We went to this restaurant once and since we liked it so much, the next day we ordered delivery. So this review will be about both the restaurant and the delivery.
Restaurant:
1) If you plan on going to this restaurant, avoid peak hours like during dinner. We waited over an hour in the cold. There is always a long queue.
2) The food came fast! It was fresh and very delicious. The broth was fabulous and everything tasted authentic.
3) The interior felt Japanese to me with the cooks in the middle of the restaurant.
4) They have a broad selection of different foods and the menu marks allergens, so you should be able to find something you can eat and like!
Delivery:
1) Menu is smaller than for the restaurant but that was to be expected.
2) Delivery was quite fast.
3) The food was almost cold when it arrived which was a huge disappointment.
4) We ordered the gyoza which all stuck together and it was difficult to eat them without them completely tearing and falling apart.
So all in all the restaurant was GREAT and deserves the hype it gets. The delivery was a massive let down 😔

I was really craving udon today, but since Sanukiya was closed, I had to pivot and try something new.
I started with the half order of torikara (karaage/fried chicken). Honestly, this might be the best karaage I’ve ever had—perfectly seasoned, super crispy, and no dipping sauce needed. It’s a must-order!
Next, I tried the petit shisen don, which came with marinated minced pork, half a soft-boiled egg, and a generous serving of rice. The pork was packed with flavor, though it was a bit rice-heavy for the portion size.
Since I was still in the mood for udon, I went for the nabeyaki udon. It came with one shrimp tempura, chicken, and egg. The broth was rich and comforting, but I was a little let down by the shrimp tempura—it wasn’t as crispy as I’d hoped.
Service was a bit slow and the dishes came out in a random order, but overall, it was a satisfying meal.

I had a lovely lunch here, thanks to a friend’s recommendation. Despite the place being packed, I was able to get a seat at the bar without a reservation.
I ordered a course meal, starting with a delicious cream soup served with focaccia. For the main course, I had pan-fried fish with roasted veggies, paired with a creative turnip purée infused with kimchi spice—such a unique and flavorful combination!
The food was thoughtfully prepared, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. As a sweet surprise, they even offered me a freshly baked madeleine on the house.
I can’t recommend this place enough—one of my favorite dining experiences in Paris so far!

Great bistro for wines especially Burgundy. The list is very interesting but of course many top wines were already sold out. The food needs attention as I don't think it was really good. I find it disappointing as they tend to use modern elements on the dish which is probably not needed. Sometimes less is more.

This place was recommended to us by our concierge at the MO. We wanted to get a nice last minute dinner and this place was absolutely perfect. We were most impressed by the wine list and the bartender that gave us his recommendations. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about his wine. It was too impressive! The dinner and desert itself was very nice on its own! It was quiet and slow for their dinner service that night, so we got to enjoy some great food and a little bit of peace. Also, the cut on the steak was perfect! Beautiful marbling and it came through on the flavor.

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.

Had a lovely meal at le patio Opéra. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The place itself is also a very nice space in a courtyard just off from the Opéra. I popped in at the end of a solo business trip to Paris. William gave me lots of recommendations for food and wine. I had the gnocchi with salmon which was delicious and also had a chocolate profiterole for desert. Left with a very full and happy stomach will definitely pop in again if I’m in town!
