Beautifully cooked duck. It took a little longer to prepare. The meat was very tender but personally I like it a little more cooked. Staff was very friendly. You must have a museum ticket to be able to access the restaurant (which is located on the second floor)

Le Restaurant du Musée d’Orsay offers a refined dining experience in a setting as grand as the museum itself. The opulent Belle Époque interior, complete with gilded ceilings and chandeliers, creates a truly atmospheric backdrop—made even more memorable by stunning views of the Seine. Service was impressively professional: quick, efficient, and gracious throughout. I enjoyed an exquisite chicken dish in a light cream sauce, served with tender French peas and carrots—beautifully prepared and full of flavor. A perfect complement to a museum visit, this restaurant is worth seeking out in its own right.

While the restaurant has a beautiful ambiance—especially for those who enjoy taking photos of the big clock at Musée d'Orsay—the food itself was quite average in taste. The pricing doesn't reflect the quality of the dishes

Beautiful restaurant. Loved the decor and seating was nice. Food was tasty and reasonably priced.

We continued our tradition of eating at every historical place or museum in Europe and this one was the best. The food was exquisite, but the atmosphere makes the food taste even better. How impressive is this dining hall?! The food was divine from the cheese souffle to the duck pomentier and the secret dessert. Loved it all. Service was great as well. No reservations, so get there early and get in line. It's worth it.

This place serves one of the best pork chops I have ever had, it's completely worth the trip to come down just for it. Think a thick slab of pork that is super flavourful and tender, the mashed potato is also superb. I'd pass on the chocolate mousse though, as it's a tad bit too rich for me (unless it's for a really big group of people). Overall, I'll definitely be back here if I'm in Paris again! Do remember to make reservations or you might get turned away, their business is quite good and there aren't many tables available.

Easily one of the best dinners that we’ve had in years. Everything was perfect. The cucumbers were fresh and the mushroom dishes were to die for. Our friends recommended this place to us and we will be doing the same in the future. Make sure to get the beef and the chocolate mousse dishes.

Located in a quiet street behind the Musée d’Orsay, we found this intimate restaurant that offers good French cuisine. Between the four of us, we started with the asparagus, fried clams and fabulous oyster mushrooms. Our main courses were the cod fish (delicious) and well cooked lamb (a little overdone). The desserts were all excellent - especially the apple crumble! We decided on à la carte - but a tempting fixed price menu was available. Excellent wine list. The atmosphere was very agreeable and the service was friendly and efficient. With a fixed menu and careful wine choice, this would not be expensive for the area (but we pushed the boat out!). It was busy but we had reserved - possibly advisable at lunchtime.

This was a wonderful experience on my recent trip to Paris! The server was friendly and spoke English, and even put up with my bad attempts at ordering in French. I started with Kir to drink and then had escargot, the pork chop, and the chocolate mousse for dessert. Seriously, everything was phenomenal! The escargot was among the best I've ever had, the celeriac puree with the pork chop was amazing (and the pork chop itself was wonderfully cooked but a little fatty), and the mousse was mind blowing! The mousse comes with a very large portion, and it's quite rich, so make sure you save room for it (but definitely order it as it's their specialty dessert). A glass of Calvados 10 helped it go down smoothly, though. I'd definitely recommend this place! You might need a reservation, but I went right as they opened and had no issue getting a table.

My wife, friend and I had dinner here last night. This was, without a doubt, the best meal I have ever had in my life. I never knew was mousse was before having it here. I don’t like capers yet couldn’t stop eating the fish with that was prepared with them. The mashed potatoes that were served with my main course were out of this world. Again, never tasted food as good as this in my life Thank you for the wonderful meal and life long memory.

Friends and I shared a delicious 3 course lunch in October. From the moment you enter and climb that beautiful stairway to the restaurant entrance, you know you are in for a treat! The food was delicious and beautifully plated, the service warm and attentive and the dining room is so inviting. I would definitely go back for another fine dining experience.

Understated place of huge historical significance as a part of the polytechnique ecosystem. A marvelously simple menu executed to perfection. We were all pleased with this experience and recommend it vigorously. The price to quality ratio is a steal!

The atmosphere was cozy, the service warm and friendly and the food was amazing, this lovely little restaurant was right across the street from the apartment we’re staying at so we decided to give it a try and we weren’t disappointed. We had the butter chicken, the chicken vindaloo, aloo ghobi, saffron rice and some stiff generously poured whiskey and cola.

Excellent food in a very cosy atmosphere. The Rose Lassi was divine! Also - some of the cleanest toileets I've seen ANYWHERE in the world!

We love this tiny gem of a restaurant and have been visiting it for years. The owner, Sudat, is warm and welcoming, the service is friendly and the cuisine is outstanding - it is consistently delicious Indian food. The Jingas Madras (shrimp) and the Murg Tikka Masala (Chicken) are our favorites. There is a reason Ravi has been in business for 40 years - it never disappoints.

Beautifully located in an alleyway. With reservation I was seated in the back next to a table with people wearing shorts. Service tried to sell me additional servings and wasn't attentive. Seafood platter felt completely unseasoned and came significantly short of my expectations. As if taken from the sea and directly plated. [Visited in June 2024, restaurant had one Michelin star at that time]

Food taste does not reflect one-star michelin standard. Our group had the seafood platters and the John Dory fish which was not fresh. Was not impressed with the food at all
Ivy Heng - a month ago

Excellent experience the food is executed beautifully and menu is full of choices for every taste. The wine paring was very interesting and makes you discover unique wines. The atmosphere is a combination between very sophisticated in the dining room and very swanky vibe at the bar this makes Gaya very appealing for formal and less formal occasions. One improvement point for me would be to have preset menu not just a la carte menu.

Incredible service, experience, and food. We had an amazing seafood experience for starters with some champagne and hope made bread with brown butter. Following, we had scallops, sea bass, and shrimp. WOW is all I can state. My favorite was the shrimp, it was incredible, slow cooked. Some amazing vanilla ice cream dessert and some apple pie. Incredible 🤌🤌😁
Justin Hou - 3 years ago

Almost everything was perfect, I loved my main and dessert, the wine choices were phenomenal and my girlfriend adored every course, I couldn't stand my starter (cold Jelly and fish for €48? No thank you), thankfully the rest was divine and the evening was wonderful

It was extremely busy! Lots of tourists. We had steak tartar for lunch and pinot noir. One of the best steak tartare I ever had. I have so much respect how the waiters run the stairs up and down. Crazy!
Lou - 4 months ago

The surrounding is enjoyable but food wasn’t top. Onion soup had too much bread and not enough onions and the tartar wasn’t good. The way it was cut probably played a role in the taste and I felt like there was too much sauce what made it look like a porridge.
Alexandra Ejov-Chvedova - 3 weeks ago

Got seated quickly but it's a very busy place. Service was very fast and pleasant. We had the onion soup and vegetable soup for lunch. Onion soup was very good while the vegetable soup lacked Spices but was OK when adding salt and pepper yourself. Prices weren't high. Overall good experience.

Exclusive atmosphere without being stuffy. Attentive service strikes the fine balance between getting you what you need before you know you need it and being too in your face. Fantastic pacing for courses, def get a menu (3 courses). Every course is worth the calories. Oh, and the main dining room has AC.

This is the best of Paris! Let’s start with the amazing staff - so warm and welcoming. We had a great conversation with our waiter (best of luck with your studies and travel!). They made us feel like we were in their home as guests. On to the food…The grilled octopus salad was beyond amazing. Cooked perfectly and with such flavor. The chicken and polenta was so tender and the 7 hour cooked lamb was to die for. The portions were absolutely perfect. Dessert was a marvelous ending - Fraise Gariguette with fresh local strawberries, house made sorbet and cream and the Mille-feuille was so light and tasty. Simply perfection. Coffee and tea finished off a perfect evening. Did I mention the champagne?? Don’t forget to start with a glass!! The atmosphere was equally outstanding. A modern, chic bistro that welcomes you with open arms and draws you in. The prices are so reasonable. All the food is locally sourced so the menu is updated accordingly and always brings fresh to your table. This is probably the best review I have left for a restaurant, and for good reason. The most outstanding aspect though was the staff. We felt like we had made new best friends before the evening ended. Just book a table and go. You will not be disappointed. You may even see us there because we are definitely going back. Thank you for making our anniversary so special in such a wonderful city. ❤️❤️

We had such a wonderful meal- chicken w/ chanterelles over polenta and sea bream with peas. Sancerre too! Service was great. Lovely dinner. We had such a good evening we forgot to leave an additional tip- so so sorry!

We came here based on a recommendation from the pastry chef we were taking a cooking class from in Paris (also very good!). The recommendation did not disappoint! This was the best food we had in our week in Paris. The menu was excellent, and you could tell the chef took extra efforts to create a diverse menu with options for everyone. The prices were more than reasonable for the amazing dishes the restaurant offered. My family all had different appetizers, main dishes and desserts and all were great. Would highly recommend, and it's air conditioned!

Probably our favorite restaurant in Paris. On this trip, been there twice already. Never had a dish that we did not like. Great fish dishes with lots of vegetables in season creatively prepared, but still never accessible. The restaurant is also roomy. You are not pressing shoulders with the table next to you. The owner is very helpful with wine selections.

The place is very clean, the sushi was delicious, and the restaurant itself is really nice and welcoming. The quality-to-price ratio is exceptional. Axel, who took care of us during dinner, was very kind and helpful. Overall, it was a great experience — highly recommended!

We came to this place based on ratings from Google maps. And in my opinion, it is completely overrated, not my cup of tea. The food was ok, but every other sushi I went to in Paris and around, the size was bigger, price cheaper and the taste was better. The service was good, fast, the interior design looks nice but unfortunately it is not enough to make me return.

It’s a cute place and a novelty in Paris! They mainly only have salmon so if you’re expecting a variety of sushi options, you may as well go elsewhere. It can also get expensive quickly if you don’t pay attention to the colors of the plates. Also if you’re going for dinner, try and book the first seating (7/7:30pm) because the sushi train looked pretty empty as we were leaving around 9pm.
Ina D - 3 months ago

We arrived to this place to eat at 14:00. There wasn’t enough food on the sushi line, the food that was there wasn’t quite fresh because it was on the line for too long and no one wanted it. The food that we ordered, arrived after a few notifications to the waiter, and also we waited for around 20 minutes for it. The portions are small, the choice is poor, the waiter doesn’t speak English well. It was a very poor experience

While on a business trip in Paris, I suddenly had to join an urgent online meeting at 10am. The first café I entered turned me away, saying laptops weren’t allowed. Only 10 minutes left. Then I stumbled upon this place—and it turned out to be perfect. A cozy atmosphere, reasonable prices, delicious coffee, and even the cutest little brownie! But what truly made my day was the kindness of the staff working that morning. She arranged a proper spot for me by moving tables together and even showed me where to charge my laptop. Thanks to her, I made it through the meeting without a hitch. So grateful!

This is a very friendly neighborhood coffee shop run by locals who are very friendly and welcoming. I attended a language school next door and started my morning every day with delicious coffee and croissant, very fresh. Get there early, they always run out.. Their lunches are fantastic and the menus change everyday.. The only problem is that the seatings are always full.

We tried the pizza du jour. One is enough for little appetites. With the great weather we took away the pizza and ate at the quai de seine. On sundays is very crowded (we are in april).
Mayra - 8 years ago

Very quick and healthy option. Ingredients quality is not the best but for a quick lunch it is OK and not too expensive for the surroundings. However, anything on top of the salad is super expensive. The choice of ingredients is OK, nothing exceptional compared to other salad bars but allows you a good variety in your salads.
