We had a very nice dinner at this restaurant. The ambient is pretty dark but nicely decorated. Food and dessert were very good and wine as well. Keep on mind this is a very expensive place. After the restaurant is closed you can jump into the bar on ground floor where DJ is playing music, which was convenient for us.

We celebrated a birthday at Laperpuse and had such a wonderful experience. The team did everything to make our celebration truly special and unforgettable. Excellent service, amazing staff, delicious food, and a warm, cozy atmosphere. The restaurant has its own unique charm, and there’s also a great bar downstairs. A special thank you to the waiter who looked after us - he gave us excellent menu recommendations and spent the evening taking photos for us. The pictures turned out absolutely wonderful, and we later found out that photography is actually his hobby, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend this place!

Very nice and stylish restaurant. Staff was polite and welcoming. Food was good, but pricey. There was a lady playing piano which was a plus. After the restaurant part was closed they opened the bar where we could enjoy few additional drinks. Overall, vibe was good and I recommend visiting the place.

remains one of the best choices for a saturday night dinner in paris. awesome old school vibey location, live music is a plus. food is delicious and great choices of french food. bar is cool to hang before dinner table is ready. private rooms are good for larger groups.

It was a special night with a private room. The restaurant inside architecture is not conventional at all, it is actually much more like a maze. An historical place to eat. The waiters does story telling about the place. The food is exquisite, the price as well, it is worth it at least once in your life.

Wonderful lunch at this traditional Paris bistro. Classic French dishes prepared to decadent standard. I still savor the duck with olives and frog legs which were divine. Excellent wine selection also with knowledgeable staff.

The Alain Ducasse owned Allard, is one of those timeless Left Bank institutions that seem to have captured the essence of old Paris without trying. I started with escargots, rich with garlicky parsley butter, followed by ris de veau, tender and golden. Each bite was deep and comforting, the flavours familiar yet indulgent. The wine, le Merle Blanc de Château Clarke 2023 was bright and elegant, a beautiful pairing that carried the meal effortlessly. I finished with a plate of cheese: a blue, a goat, and a washed rind, each with its own quiet personality. It’s the quality of service that makes the difference between a good and great restaurant and the service at Allard was brilliant. Well done to the team at Allard for making my last Parisian dinner of this trip so memorable.

I think this is probably the best service I’ve had in Paris by far, excellent team. The restaurant is cozy and beautiful. The food was amazing, the foie gras with cherries and their famous duck are something you cannot miss. I would highly recommend this for anyone and come hungry. Even better with a group of 3-4 to try more things since the duck is quite large. Overall 10/10

A classic French restaurant in the heart of Paris, with a very interesting space that has maintained its authenticity over time. Nice food — simple and unpretentious — good service, and great wine. A pleasant experience; I recommend it.

An unforgettable dining experience at Allard a truly classic and historic Parisian restaurant. We loved the Homard bleu rafraîchi, the Escargots en coquilles, the Filet de bœuf doré, sauce aux poivres, and the Turbot façon Dugléré. Every dish was full of distinctive flavors, and the service was simply excellent. A timeless Parisian gem that I highly recommend

Lovely atmosphere in a space that used to be a bookstore many years ago. Picturesque setting with delicious food. One of the dishes that was ordered was vegetarian, cooked from scratch and tasted carefully prepared.”

We were a bit surprised to find such a charming place, with fantastic food so close to the Notre Dame, but this is Paris, not London, so maybe we shouldn't have been! Massive shout out to the brilliant woman running the floor (I am going to assume she owns the joint) who happily took pity on my school boy French and chatted to us so amusingly in English. She also suggested the tiramisu for dessert - and if you taste it, you will understand why. I still ordered (as well) the crème brulee which was also a sensation. She was less happy about my asking for some butter and in fairness the bread was so good it didn't really need it. But y'know, butter.

The cozy atmosphere and wonderful service made this dining experience a true highlight to our trip. The food was delicious and fresh. It was a hearty, homemade French meal. My husband had baked fish and I had a ratatouille quiche. This did not feel like a space where many tourists visit. It was a wonderful find for us and gave us a chance to experience French cuisine not too far from our hotel. The server and chef were gracious. It is a place we hope to return to someday.

We stopped and at here while on vacation since our airbnb was just around the corner. The server was very nice and funny. Our meals were delicious and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was pleasant being able to visit without yelling.

We had a great lunch. The menu was set menu for only $50 per person, the fish filet was $20 extra. We liked the food very much, and we respect the Chef creations. But the dessert were interesting to us. First time had the ice cream but wasabi flavor, and the chocolate with a slice ginger on top.

So this is a restaurant that if I'm not wrong has kept the star since 2008. That gives the idea of the unlimited effort they are putting in serving the best food with the best experience as possible. They serve french cuisine with an Asian twist. I had marinated fish, monkfish and passion fruit dessert. All the dishes were really rich in taste and complete. Even if there were 5 or 6 different ingredients and even if they were really strong (sweetness, bitterness and so on) there was an incredible balance on each dish. The personal were nice and available each time. I recommend to go here at lunch were they offer 2/3 courses menu at a great price. Definitely recommended

This review will be almost completely redundant as I agree enthusiastically with all the prior rave reviews. This being one of myself and my husband’s first Michelin-starred restaurants, I was worried that we wouldn’t know “proper etiquette” or would commit some gracious faux pas that would earn us the disdain of the staff. However these concerns were absolutely groundless as ALL of the staff was warm, welcoming and totally unpretentious. And the food: oh my, the food more than speaks for itself. We did the 7 course tasting menu which I would wholeheartedly recommend. Also of note the portions were generous for an upscale restaurant and I left not only not hungry but actually stuffed! If we are ever lucky enough to travel to Paris again we will certainly be making a return visit.

A lovely experience! The kitchen was innovative while maintaining the core essence of ingredients and also plate size. The service was great; a delightful young women, who knew her stuff and was friendly and welcoming. A great price for the lunchtime menu.

We were warmly welcomed on our arrival and instantly felt the warm atmosphere within the restaurant. The menu had a great range of options and the staff were very friendly. Our food was exceptional and we didn't have to wait long between meals. The best Indian food I have had in Paris by far, I would highly recommend a visit.

It was like magic! Finding such a quality place in a busy and touristic Saint Michel area was not expected! It's a real gem, the food is so tasty and the portions are big. I recommend you to order chicken for the entrée;) What you see in the picture is just starters!

Atmosphere is super nice. Some people play music and sing. Food is very tasty and waiters are very nice and welcoming. Recommend it for sure for a typical and special french dinner.

Had a lovely salad and crème brûlée. The street side seating was very nice with a view of an old church. We enjoyed the singer. The service was fine. The people watching was great.

Second time in this place, this time weekend and it was just wonderful. Ambiance, live singing and piano, delicious food and drinks, friendly staff. This is a place for people who love live singing and edgy panache atmosphere. We were lucky to have different performers and everyone is so talented. This place is for people with a soul 🥰 who appreciate warmth ams passion vibes. I always make reservations to guarantee immediate availability. Gets really busy after 9pm.

Truly enjoyed my evening here. The service was superb - so fast and thoughtful. The waiter saw me struggling to get service on my phone and immediately connected me to the Wifi! Very rare indeed. The band were highly skilled. I’ve been watching live Jazz bands around the World and I knew immediately they were top notch. I just wish that other guests were more respectful to the musicians and staff. We encountered some very rude people who kept talking so loudly over the musicians and seemed interested in only recording videos for their social media (??) I thought they were also very rude to the kind waiter when they asked loudly “MENUUUUU. You know MENU?”. The waiter was most professional in dealing with them. The food and wine was fantastic. My friend had the chicken fingers - so crispy and juicy. I had the charcuterie and the cheese was so yummy. A most comfortable place. Clean and with AC. Highly recommend this lovely spot. My friend and I really enjoyed ending our night out here. We felt safe and welcomed - most important for female travellers. I hope to come here again soon.

We were a group of 6 in Paris to watch Rugby. We were lucky to find this bar on our first night. The staff were very welcoming and friendly,the food & beer were excellent. There was live music which was also excellent. We enjoyed the atmosphere so much that we went there for each of our four nights in Paris. I hope to return sometime.

The coffee was good and we had good time there. The barista was friendly and kind. But the best part for us was that we forgot and left our expensive camera there for about 45 minutes and went back and it was still there! :)

We had a really fun experience here. We came for the dinner and live music and weren't sure what we were getting into. The live music was not what I expected. I thought we might catch like a French jazz group, but it turns out it wasn't that kind of place. They had a 2-person French pop rock cover band performing mostly American rock songs. Unexpected, but really fun. The food and drinks were okay and a little pricey. I came to Paris to eat French food so I was a little disappointed to find mostly burgers and pulled pork bbq, but that's also on me for not looking up a menu. We had good service though!

Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were genuinely lovely and very attentive, which made us feel welcome straight away. The fried frog legs were incredible and the only place I found them in Paris. They were so good that I came back three times during my trip. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Paris, especially if you want to try something traditional. The snails in the wine sauce were also excellent and full of flavour.

Amazing time and excellent service. Thank you again to the whole team, which made the birthday of my partner an unforgettable moment (table of 5). Note a great singer too. 11 out of 10.

My daughter and I visited here during our recent trip to Paris, we were given a very warm welcome, quick service and delicious food. We were given a basket of complimentary bread with our meal, which was replenished when we had eaten it all. We shared fried frogs legs and escargot for starter, then the frog burger with fries and sausage & mashed potatoes for the main. If we had been staying longer, we would definitely have gone back for another meal.

The escargots were amazing in a red wine garlic sauce. Burrata with eggplant refreshing and the frog legs main plate was flavorful

A historic restaurant that offers an exquisite experience. From perfectly curated products to its peculiar decor, we traveled back to the 1950s from the second we stepped foot through the door. Every dish was a perfectly balanced, a unique blend of flavors that brings out traditional french gastronomy.

The Great Canadian Pub is a fantastic spot in Paris if you're craving a genuine North American sports bar vibe right by the Seine. The exposed brick interior and outdoor terrace create a brilliantly lively atmosphere, especially when catching a game. They pour a solid selection of beers and serve up great, comforting food that really hits the spot. The staff is consistently friendly and fast, making it an easy, laid-back choice for a weekend hangout. Highly recommend stopping by for a fun, casual evening in the city!

Lovely place with friendly staff. Kitchen folks are heroes, we had a couple Poutines (chicken and pulled pork with the latter being our favourite) and the entrecote with peppercorn sause. Fantastic value and taste for the money. Chefs kiss. We stumbled during the 2026 olympic hockey quarter finals and the atmosphere was cracking. Nothing roudy but energetic and loud. As a couple that rarely does anything with sports, it was great group to join in the energy.

The Great Canadian is a great bar to meet other people traveling through Paris. The food is great and the service was amazing. One of the bartenders named Lou (I think) was great, she is very attentive asking how the food is and making sure you have everything you need. The stereotype of dry and rude servers in Paris absolutely does not apply to her. She was very kind and made us feel welcomed. It has a great vibe and great for watching sports and talking to people. I highly suggest The Great Canadian if you get the opportunity to go.

This was our last restaurant in France after touring the country for 10 days. On the balance of what we've tried and eaten (including three 1-Star restaurants), this probably ranks in the top 5, comfortably.
