Paris restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

The Grand Hotel du Palais Royal has it all- lovely rooms, attentive staff, and a walkable location just north of the Louvre. It was the perfect home base for our vacation in Paris. The rooms are spacious with comfortable bedding and an updated bathroom. We loved the views from the balcony of our junior suite. We were able to stay in the rooftop suite on our last night, and the terrace view includes the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and even Sacré Cœur in the distance. Everyone on staff was friendly and helpful. We loved our Paris visit, and we highly recommend this property!

Our most expensive stay during our 3 city trip and unfortunately did not live up to the expectations. The front desk was very kind and accommodating when we arrived, but were sometimes not available throughout the stay. We did have to go downstairs to order room service as nobody was able to assist on the phone and said they’d call us back(??). When they didn’t, we decided to go downstairs to order. The room service food was not great. The room itself was quite small and worn down with wear and tear, but the bathrooms were very clean and modern. The breakfast buffet was okay, their French toast was great (French toast is not part of the included breakfast). Overall, it was a very convenient location but not quite what we were expecting for a 5 star hotel.

Located close to The Louvre, this lovely hotel provided us with a charming introduction to Paris. The staff, from our welcome to servers to concierge to housekeeping were kind and made our trip feel quite special. We were greeted upon arrival with a delicious choise of beverages and comfortable seating whilst our room was being prepared. The concierges were all helpful in assisting us to confidently navigate Paris and the sites we wanted to see. They helped us plan wonderful walking routes and obtained taxis for us when needed. The only limited area, in my view, was the breakfast. Whilst my husband raved of his (and I so enjoyed the coffee!), the offerings were rather limited for me (and that is simply because eggs are not my preferred choice in the morning). However, the serving staff were kind, attentive, and beyond approach! Our room was spacious- we loved the treat of a walk-in closet!- and very well appointed. Luxury amenities and delicious chocolates upon arrival and prior to departure made our stay that much more sweet!

If I could give the location a higher rating than 5, I would. It is absolutely perfectly located, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, the concierge assisted with finalising a booking for the Museé D’Orsay which I could not complete on my phone in such an effective and friendly manner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

An outstanding luxury hotel in a perfect Parisian location. Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal combines elegance, comfort, and exceptional service just steps from the Palais-Royal Garden and the Louvre. The rooms are beautifully designed, quiet, and impeccably maintained. The staff is professional, welcoming, and always attentive to every detail. The breakfast is excellent, and the overall atmosphere is refined yet relaxing. A truly memorable stay, I highly recommend this hotel and would be delighted to return.

We were absolutely delighted with our evening at Le Marly. We had booked a table in the row closer to the Louvre courtyard. However, when we were seated, we were given a table next to a service station for the waiters, which partially blocked our view of the pyramid. I politely asked whether it would be possible to move us if a table with a full view of the pyramid became available. The hostess was incredibly kind and, with a smile, did everything she could to make it happen. Within just five minutes, another table became free, and as soon as it was cleared, she moved us there. That thoughtful gesture truly made our evening, especially because we were celebrating an important occasion. The magical lights of the Louvre added an extra touch of magic to the whole atmosphere. I would also like to highlight the excellent service. The waiters speak English fluently, are attentive, and are happy to help with choosing dishes. By the way, the cheesecake is absolutely incredible, and we also really enjoyed the salmon gravlax starter. At one point, someone at a nearby table started smoking a cigar. I asked a waiter who was not even serving our table if something could be done, and he immediately handled the situation by asking the guest to stop, as cigars are not allowed. His quick response allowed us to fully enjoy the dishes we had ordered without the smoke disturbing us. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Café Le Marly and left extremely satisfied. ✨💌😻.

The atmosphere, food and services is great! The tables on the outside are a little small. We did not reserve a table tho that might be why. All in all we had a great experience to eat next to the Louvre and we could also see the Eiffel Tower from our table. ✨✨🍽️ We had one main course per person, water, homemade Ice tea and a glass of wine. Very delicious

Le Café Marly offers a wonderful dining experience in one of the best locations in Paris. The staff are warm, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. The view overlooking the Louvre is absolutely stunning and adds something special to the meal. The food is delicious, with every dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. Considering the location and overall experience, the prices are very reasonable. A perfect place to enjoy great food with an unforgettable view. Highly recommended!

This might just be my favorite meal in the entire world. As someone who is well-traveled, I don't give that honor lightly. I've gone out of my way to make a day trip into Paris from other European countries just to eat this meal: A caesar salad to start, the roasted scallops for the main course, and a crème brûlée for dessert. The food is simple, delicious, and technically flawless. 10/10
Ashley Hanna - a month ago

Overall, we had a fine experience. The service was good, and the staff were polite and attentive throughout our meal. One small downside was that heavy silverware was dropped onto the wooden floor several times during service. The loud clatter was quite startling and made the atmosphere feel a bit stressful at moments. The hot chocolate is every bit as good as the reviews say and was the perfect sugar boost after six hours of walking through the Louvre. A word of warning: it’s incredibly rich and decadent without being overly sweet. We shared one order, and it was the perfect amount for the two of us. As for the food, the orecchiette with Bolognese was the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and perfectly cooked. I’d happily order it again. The Caesar salad, however, was disappointing. The meat on top looked unusual and was difficult to identify. It didn’t taste or resemble either chicken or anchovies, leaving us unsure of what we were eating and making the dish feel off. Unfortunately, it’s not something I would recommend.

Following an enchanting evening stroll through Paris, we concluded our night with a midnight dinner at a cafe-restaurant that exuded charm, offered a superb ambiance, and provided exceptional service. The culinary experience was unparalleled. To commence, I selected the French Onion Soup, which featured a delicate broth and was crowned with exquisite cheese. This warm and comforting soup proved to be the perfect remedy after a day of rain. For my second course, I opted for another starter: Pâté de Foie Gras, accompanied by toast, jam, and small caramelized dried mandarins. The robust flavor of the pâté de foie gras, harmoniously balanced by the sweetness of the mandarins, created an irresistible combination. My wife enjoyed the Salmon with mashed potatoes; I must commend the mashed potatoes for their exceptional softness and creaminess, to the extent that I finished the remainder of her portion. We concluded our meal with crepes and coffee. Additionally, we savored two local 1664 beers. It was truly magnificent. Should your travels bring you to Paris, particularly in proximity to the Louvre Museum, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment. I assign this exceptional venue a perfect rating of 5 out of 5.

I came from Brazil to see the sights of Paris, and we discovered this place. It is a great option for dinner after touring Paris's main attractions. I recommend taking a night bus tour before coming here, as the restaurant stays open late and offers excellent service and quality food at a fair price—especially considering its proximity to the Louvre. The menu is a highlight in itself; for a starter, I recommend the traditional French onion soup with cheese. The house specialties come highly recommended as well—paired with a good wine—and a Crème Brûlée makes for a perfect finish. Great service and exceptional quality.

You have to try their duck confit! It’s so flavorful and pairs perfectly with their excellent gravy. The mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy—absolutely divine. The server was also exceptionally kind and helpful. I’ve visited twice now, and this place consistently keeps their quality high. Definitely recommend!

Loved dining here. Felt like a pocket of Japan in Paris. Quality, taste, and service all 10/10. Loved the nigiri mix, the miso cod was so delicate, and the negi toro maki with ciboulette . Will definitely come back & so happy to discover they offer take out.
Sabrina Campos - 2 months ago

A really cozy Japanese restaurant in the city and one of my favourites for years. Reservations are highly recommended, though solo diners can often try their luck with a seat at the bar. It’s on the pricier side, but the quality is consistently excellent (really good sushi!) and the service is incredibly attentive. Highly recommend.
Melody T - 3 months ago

The food was amazing, sashimi was so tasty, no bad smell. The small sukiyaki was very good as well. The soup was not too salty that I could sip from time to time and the server did a small demonstration of cooking it. The service and atmosphere were great also, very calm, nicely decorated and I could smell wood from the furniture. Really authentic. However the price is very high, might be good to go for a special occasion.

Takara is a great spot for authentic Japanese cuisine in Paris, with a long history dating back to 1958. We enjoyed everything we had, and the prices felt quite reasonable, especially considering the quality and location. The service was helpful and nice, and the atmosphere had a warm, simple, Japanese-style charm. It feels more like a genuine Japanese restaurant than a tourist-focused place, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended if you enjoy Japanese cuisine.
T L - 4 months ago

Overall, a nice restaurant for sukiyaki; however, the other dishes were just okay. Service was welcoming and friendly and environment was a typical Japanese tavern. My fav: Sukiyaki (5⭐) — the soup was flavorful, and the meat was fresh and well prepared Shabu-Shabu & Sashimi Omakase (4⭐) — I personally preferred the sukiyaki over the shabu-shabu. I found the shabu-shabu soup a bit bland, while I liked the sesame vinegar sauce on the side, we barely used the other sauce. On the other hand, the sashimi omakase was fresh, but not to the point where I think it was worth it. Tempura (3.5⭐) — A nice variety of veggies that allowed us to try a bit of everything. However, I found the dipping sauce on the side disappointing — a bit bland as well.

An amazing authentic izakaya near Opéra! I would definitely recommend making a reservation, especially for dinner, as they get very busy—and after dining here, I can absolutely see why. The restaurant has received so many Michelin accolades, and they are incredibly well deserved. The staff were so warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the entire menu to us in detail and making us feel so welcome. As for the food… wow. We ordered a wide variety of dishes so we could try a bit of everything, and every single plate was exceptional. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavours were absolutely incredible from the starters right through to the mains. The fish was unbelievably fresh, and the eel was one of the highlights—perfectly cooked, rich, buttery, and so flavourful. A truly memorable dining experience. I can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be back!
Katie Greenhalgh - 2 months ago

I came here with exceptionally high expectations, but unfortunately, the experience was a letdown. To start, I have never seen a smaller Edamame portion in my life and lacked any special seasoning or flavor. As for the Sashimi Royal, while the quality of the fish itself was undeniably fresh, there was absolutely nothing "Royal" about it. It was a standard serving—they didn't even include a touch of caviar to elevate the dish. Sadly, despite the Michelin tag, it felt more like a tourist trap than a premium dining experience.

Authentic and amazing Izakaya style restaurant between the Opéra Garnier and the Louvre. The place is really packed for lunch which explains why they do not take reservations at that time but only for dinner. The lunch menu is complete and the portions are generous. The Una Don (grilled eel) is mouth watering and the chirashi special is complete and the fish is fresh. The service is nice despite a bit of waiting at the beginning but then it chilled really fast. Good is a really good place and I would love to try their dishes at dinner time.

I went to Zen for lunch and had a good experience. The set menus are well-priced and quite generous. The teriyaki salmon was definitely better than the miso one—more flavorful and less dry. Sushi and sashimi were decent, nothing exceptional, but fair for the price. Service was friendly and efficient. Would come back, especially to try the donburi menus—seems like that’s what most people order.

Hands down the best ramen broth I have ever had. The tonkotsu ramen broth was so rich! The spot also gives vibes of a genuine Noodle Shop from Japan. Not only is the food delicious but it is probably one of the cheapest options in the area. I paid around $68 for three ramen and 3 drinks.
Gabriel Galarza - 4 months ago

My friends and I stopped here for lunch. Cozy and authentic vibes. The food was served instantly and the servers were super friendly. Highly recommend the spicy chicken rice bowl, the vegetarian noodles and the ramen (to which I added a marinated egg). Will definitely come back here

Just left and had to leave a review. I don’t work in but know the restaurant industry and the (open) kitchen was spotless when I arrived. These pictures are halfway into lunch service and everything is still very clean. A clean kitchen is a mark of professionalism. The machines in use have warning labels in Japanese; which mean they were clearly imported from Japan which is an indicator of the authenticity of the place. In terms of atmosphere it was small and cramped.. just like in Japan. It just added to the experience. Most of the employees and the woman working the register were clearly Japanese. I had tonkotsu ramen, which is usually a disappointment in restaurants in Europe because they never get the broth right. Here the broth clearly tasted of pork hocks and was very gelatinous, with full body which indicates that it was in fact the real deal. It was delicious. They used arugula as one of the toppings which, to me, is a good sign. It’s not “traditional” and as such many restaurants in Europe that are trying to sell the “idea” of traditional ramen shy away from it, but it’s common as a contemporary topping in Japan itself. Ramen and a coke came just under 20 euro; but they have more affordable combos on the menu. Overall very happy, probably the best ramen I’ve had in Europe.

The place definitely feels like visiting a Japanese place. The owner is warm and welcoming. The food reminds me of the times when you’re hungry in Japan and just want a nice bowl. Katsu don was my choice.

Le Nemours is a nice corner side café located across the street from the Louvre. It was recommended by our tour guide as a place that has great desserts and is a little less expensive than the other cafes nearby. We enjoyed our lunch there. I had the croque monsieur and my girlfriend had the Quiche Lorraine. For dessert my girlfriend had Nutella Crepes and I had lemon sorbet. The service was very good.
Stephen Bressi - 2 months ago

Got ourselves into Le Nemours for dessert and couldn't have made a better choice. The terrace overlooking the currently under renovation Comédie-Française is simply super relaxing, watching people pass one way and another. Definitely one of the most iconic spots in Paris. We tried what I believe was a tarte aux pommes and a praliné dome, both beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious. But honestly, the waiters were half the experience. Full of charm and wit! I suspect they moonlight at the Comédie-Française right in front of them! Perfectly Parisian in the best possible way. A must if you're near the Louvre / Palais Royal. Great to relax, stay for the pastry and the banter.

I found this because I was walking around near Louvre Museum and in need of both meals for myself and a plug for my phone. I just asked the staff if I can recharge my phone while having lunch there. They sat me on the table next to a plug. For lunch I ordered the baguette sandwich, Rony. It’s a sandwich with roast beef. Honestly, the filling was overflowing. Considering the location and the taste, the price was justified. For drinks I just had water and juice because it was very hot outside. And then I had some sorbet, since they have lemon basil, which was a perfect solution to the heat. The staff, Xavier, was very helpful and attentive despite the rush hour.

A fantastic café in the heart of Paris. Café Le Nemours offers a beautiful setting with a charming terrace overlooking the Palais-Royal. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, the service is warm and attentive, and the food and coffee are excellent. It's the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or simply a drink while soaking up the Parisian ambiance. Highly recommended for both locals and visitors.

We bought the 麻辣小龙虾包子(mala xiao long xia bao zi) and they were very soft, delicious and has some lovely warm broth in it, it is not extremely spicy and it was lovely and flavourful. We also got the 蟹黄包子 (xie huang baozi) which were delicious as well, the service was nice and we saw many paris locals go and eat there too. The price was regular and I'd say it was reasonable for the amount given.

xdJezKleofas - 5 months ago

On the facade it doesn't look like a good Chinese restaurant with their ordinary signage ..however decided to try to check it out since the menu says it has a variety of my fave dishes. To my surprise 😮 the food is excellent in taste though portions just about right for 2 persons. We ordered quite abit from fried spring rolls steamed pork and crab( dumplings skin was nicely done and the inner was juicy when you bite into the skin)pork ribs bamboo shoot soup dongpo braised pork(not the best sauce needs more seasoning or 3 layer pork need more cooking time shredded beef with 🫑 capsicum fried string beans with mince pork in hot chilli oil.Overall it's a goto place if you're craving for Chinese foods.

We stopped by Naniwa-Ya for a quick Japanese meal. The place has a casual Japanese eatery vibe, nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a straightforward meal. The katsu curry was probably the best thing we had. The curry sauce was nice, rich enough to be satisfying, and the fried cutlet was cooked properly with a decent crisp on the outside. It’s the kind of dish that’s hard to mess up, and this one did the job well. The udon, unfortunately, was a bit underwhelming. The broth lacked depth and flavour, and the bowl felt quite sparse in terms of ingredients. For what it costs, it didn’t quite deliver the comfort or richness you’d expect. It came across a little bland and slightly overpriced for what was served. The set salad was very average, pretty standard and nothing memorable. The gyoza, though, was the weakest part of the meal. The filling lacked flavour and the overall taste just didn’t work. Definitely something I wouldn’t order again. On the positive side, service was fast and efficient. Orders were taken quickly and food arrived without much waiting, which is always appreciated when you’re just looking for a quick bite. Overall, Naniwa-Ya is fine if you’re nearby and want something simple. The katsu curry is worth ordering, but other items on the menu feel hit or miss, especially considering the price point.

Great address in the lower part of st Anne street where it is a bit less crowded. That being said, depending on the days and time, there can be some wait! We've tested several starters that were delicious, as well as the ramen and a rice dish. The ramen juice was particularly light and savoury. Good address in the area.
joris huynh - 6 months ago

As someone who goes to Japan quite regularly, I would say that the food here was completely authentic. I had the ramen and the special, and was pleasantly surprised to be delighted by both. Hidden gem in the city, I’d highly recommend if you’re craving asian food or something refreshing in this hot weather.

Came in on Saturday right before 19.00 sitting at the bar since I am party of one. Asked the waiter to recommend their specials which the cold egg noodles and seafood balls. They were both good with the noodles fresh. Ordered beef cheeks as extra because I was very hungry. The cheeks lack tenderness but cooked well. At 19.30 there were many people queuing for seats. Overall, the food was good.
