I can't express how beautiful this restaurant is. Magnificent gold, white, mirrors, and funky chairs! We needed a break from seeing the exhibits at the museum, and heard this was a perfect stop. It was. I had the cod with a carrot salad, delicious! My partner had the deck, oh so yummy and a perfect cook on it. We shared a praline cream puff, holy moly, so so good. Really top level service in a room that made me feel like a queen! Perfect respite then we continuee exploring M'O!

Beautiful dining room with crystal chandeliers and beautiful ceiling paintings. The joy stops there. Service less than friendly. Food. Not great. Ceasar salad standard. Cod was like eating from a cheap diner. Looked like fish sticks from a box. The salad that came with the cod was not great. Do not recommend.

The restaurant is beautiful at a museum level. The food is not as great but conveniently located in the museum.

This restaurant has a wonderful, cozy small-shop vibe, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Overall, the food quality is quite good. We ordered the snails, which actually tasted very good, as well as the Sausage "Chez Conquet," which was also very enjoyable. However, I do have some feedback on the Veal Kidneys with Whole Grain Mustard Sauce. As an Asian, I am quite used to eating offal, but I feel the preparation of the kidneys here could be improved. Even though the dish was served with a very heavy mustard sauce, it still couldn't completely mask the strong gamey smell and taste of the kidney. We finished off the meal with a classic Crème Brûlée. Just a heads-up on the cultural difference: the portion size for Crème Brûlée in Hong Kong is usually much smaller. The one here is definitely large enough to be shared by two people—though I have to admit, I happily finished the whole thing by myself! 😂 Overall, it's a lovely spot with excellent service, but I might suggest skipping the kidney dish if you are sensitive to those strong flavors.

Very nice staff and high-quality food overall. I would not say the restaurant is cheap, but the quality delivered was in line with our expectations, so the pricing felt reasonable for the experience. Most of the dishes were excellent. The snails, sausage, and crème brûlée were all very good and well executed. The only dish I was slightly unsure about was the veal kidney. It still had a fairly strong gamey taste. I am not sure whether this was the intended traditional flavour or a matter of preparation, as in Hong Kong we are more familiar with pork kidneys, which are usually carefully cleaned with coarse salt and other local methods to reduce that flavour. That said, this may simply be a difference in culinary style and personal preference rather than a fault. Overall, we enjoyed the meal, appreciated the service, and found Cinq-Mars to be a solid restaurant with good food quality.

Very very high level of skill in these traditional French dishes. If you are a foodie looking for craft in the cooking, this is the place. The best meal in Paris so far. It’s worth the walk from anywhere. Musée d'Orsay is close by.

In Saint Germain- de-Prés there is a small restaurant with wonderful food Went fairly early and spontaneously. We were asked if we had reservations but seated quickly Brief menu with entrees plats and dessert Encouraged to select wine by the glass but bottles are available Preparation was both traditional and imaginative Terrine and croutons for entree. Generous portions. We shared the steak au poivre and gratin dauphinois. These were fabulous The service was very casual but attentive. Patient and friendly explanations Setting is informal, simple but romantic

We had a beautiful meal here. Staff were friendly and had a good sense of humor. All of our food was delicious, but the escargot was a standout. Definitely recommend making a reservation.

We had a wonderful dinner here. The food was quite good, but the real highlight was the intimate setting. We were seated in a private room, which made the evening feel very special and created a perfect atmosphere for a relaxed dinner. I'm giving it 4 stars because, while the food was enjoyable, there is still room for improvement. I had the steak, and although it was good, I believe it could have been more flavorful and better prepared. Overall, it's a great place for a special evening, especially if you're looking for a more private and intimate dining experience.

A gem. I 've come to Paris 15 or so times and this restaurant ranks in my top one or two. The cold fois gras is superb as was all the other dishes. We return to Paris in a few months and revisit this wonderful place.

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!

Easily the best Indian restaurant in Paris! The food is exceptional, with a wide variety of dishes to suit every palate. The ambience is warm and elegant, and the space is spotless, making dining here an absolute pleasure. Every visit feels like a treat thanks to the friendly staff and consistent quality. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic, flavorful Indian cuisine!

We went for dinner around 10pm. The service was great, the food was delicious - very freshly prepared and authentic flavors. We found the portion sizes a bit small for the pricing. Especially the raita, which was tasty but tiny!! Best Indian food we had in Paris but expensive.

Nice Indian restaurant with good homely food (also not spicy for those that require it). Authentic Indian food and ambiance in a small cosy set. Very nice and attentive staff. Family ambiance. Good pickles.
Alessandro Giuliani - 8 months ago

This place is special, its been in the neighborhood since 1984. The ambiance is of the highest order, authentic, chic, a but like a movie set but not overdone. The food is always excellent, tasty, rich but not too heavy. If you want to know where real parisans from the neighborhood go to eat….its places like this - charming, historic, friendly and affordable.
Barrett Purdum - 3 months ago

Honestly the best Indian food I’ve ever had. It’s a small, cozy restaurant with a really welcoming atmosphere, and the team is just amazing - friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can taste the quality and authenticity in every dish. I would come back anytime.

I came across Gaya when strolling around St. Germain and what a great surprise it was... my lunch was delicious, flavorful, and served perfectly. Lately I feel so many restaurants in Paris rush the dishes, here they left me the time to relax and enjoy the experience from amuse bouche, to coquillages in fresh sauce with algues and roasted fish and aubergines surrounded by light tomato soup. The service was impeccable with the sommelier suggesting a perfect glass of white burgundy to accompany the meal. It's also beautiful inside... will definitely return!

Honestly I am often disappointed with meals in Michelin restaurants. This however was truly extraordinary in every way. The food and the service would put this in the category of one of my most sublime meals ever. Yes, that good. The sole meunière was at a level I’ve never experienced. Frank’s choice of wines was what you get from that rare someone who is a truly exceptional sommelier. A big thank you to Frank and Alex for looking after us. These two gentlemen are professionals at their craft. Bravo to all. An evening we will not forget.

We had such a lovely evening there, celebrating my mother-in-law’s birthday. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were well taken care of, including the staff graciously accommodating those in our party who didn’t speak French, and any specific dietary requests. The portions are a bit small, but the flavours and quality were unassailable. Several of us had the Wagyu beef, and I will say it was by far the best I have had. The côté d’agneau was also proclaimed “the best” one diner had ever had. Will it be pricey? Yes. But I will venture to say that as long as you can afford it, you won’t regret it.

Got a reservation for lunch pretty easily. They have amazing service and the waiters and waitresses are pretty attentive. Not a fan of escargot but we got the prefixe menu and everything else on it was amazing! The skate fish was particularly buttery and flaky. Also pretty good portions for a 3 course meal.
Margaret Guo - a year ago

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]

On our vacation in Paris, we stayed close to Le Saint Germain. It became our favourite place in Paris for breakfast and coffee! On our last night in Paris, we went there for dinner. It was wonderful, and our server recommended a lovely wine to go with our food. Everyone is so kind there, and the food is really great. We highly recommend this place!

This has long been one of my favorite stops in Paris, whatever time of day or night and whatever meal, coffee or cocktail. I love the wait staff and you easily feel like a local with regular experiences. Notables for me are the Cappuccinos, cocktails, onion soup, salads and I had a great steak frites as well. I typically stay close by so I will admit, I have been to Le Saint Germain more than is fair on trips. I prefer it to the busier, pricier, more famous options up the boulevard. I make a point to go every time I have the privilege of traveling to Paris.

I went to this restaurant on May 29th. The food was good, considering the price and the portion size. The location was great, and I was lucky enough to have this opportunity to enjoy my dinner right in the Teksi strike zone, surrounded by police squad. It was probably the safest time to enjoy a dinner in Paris😂😂😂

Gâteau aux Poires A base of pear slices in a cake pastry with walnuts and fresh cream. 5€ Food: 2/5 Fair. This particular cake was a bit tasteless with nothing exciting. Its slight dry texture did not help the experience. Service: 5/5 Excellent. Polite and professional. Ambience: 5/5 Excellent. The view of Sainte-Clotilde from the terrace is absolutely stunning. The place feels like a hidden secret. Cleanliness: 5/5 Excellent. Not a spot of concern. Even the outdoor tables looked freshly wiped. Value: 5/5 Excellent. A cup of tea or coffee is only 2€50, and a gâteau at 5€ which means a light snack for only 7€50. Overall: 4.4/5 Very Good. I think I may have struck unlucky with this one pastry selection. I'm definitely going to revisit and try the popular cinnamon rolls. Perhaps next time I can rate the food better and raise the overall to Excellent.

Very nice lemon poppy seed cake and swedish chocolate cake! Loved the terrace too. If you're looking for a tranquil place in Paris, café suédois is perfect :)

This was a notch above a lot of establishments we have dined in in Paris. The decor is fresh & inviting. The tables are spaced adequately. We opted for the 3 course 44€ menu, but you can order a la carte. The options were interesting. I had pea gazpacho, while my partner had egg with mushrooms. Our mains were 2 fish dishes - bream with a hint of 🌶 & haddock/ mussels curry. For dessert, it was luxurious chocolate fondant. We enjoyed every course, & the service was efficient & welcoming. It was a very enjoyable dining experience.

We had an excellent lunch here today. From the moment we walked in the door the service was polite and professional. The food is truly special. The flavor combinations were great and the menu creative without being weird, but to be fair a lot of restaurants get that part. What really set the food apart was the technical skill. Everything, every ingredient was cooked perfectly. Our entree and main courses had several delicate ingredients that could easily be under or over or improperly cooked, but it was all prepared to the very second of perfection. The desserts and bread were also superb. The restaurant itself is cosy and warm but also elegant. We were there for lunch and enjoyed watching life go by out the large glass front, I imagine that the evening view is equally nice. Don’t let my English review let you think that this is a touristy type spot. Although they had an English language menu available and spoke great English to me, I was the only non-French customer there. My French husband was equally, if not more, impressed than me. 10/10
Courtney Douglas Piasecki - 3 months ago

Nice place with friendly service but food is so so only. Texture of the fish carpaccio was a bit soft. The beet and passion fruit sauces were also a bit of a strange pairing for me. The pickles were nice. Some of the outer parts of the veal had been cooked until they were dry. A bit disappointing. Otherwise, the rest of it was soft and juicy. Taste wise not bad. Caramel muffin with ice cream was a nice finisher. Overall won’t be back and not worth my walk there.

The food was great and the it was very high in protein! We really enjoyed the fish and chicken. The only problem was that there were no vegetarian options. The wine was very good and we loved it! The staff were very nice and friendly!🙏🏻 Our waiter was Terry, he was very friendly and helped my daughter by cutting her bread when she needed help! The atmosphere was nice. It was in a great location and had very good seating options! This is a must go place in Paris if you like meat! You should definitely come here! 🙂

Wonderful restaurant, vibrant but not too loud and the interiors is very minimal which I personally like. Staff is great and good at what they do, can make the visit even better. You should 110% try their restaurant. With love from Norway.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had!! Love how creative all of the dishes are and the prices are reasonable for the quality and the portion you’re getting. Pictures are my two personal favorites. I have no idea what they’re called but one was almost like a tostada and it’s probably one of my favorite things I’ve ever tasted. The only drawback was the service. I ordered a dessert al a cart from their QR code and after 30 minutes I asked the waiter if it was coming soon and they hadn’t even started on it. I left without getting the dessert because we’d already been there for so long but the food was so good that I would 100% go back.
Heather R - 7 months ago

Very creative and cool concept! The interior design is really fun. The food was pretty good, although it was difficult to get the service attention because of the crowd. We also noticed some mosquitoes lying around on the tables… But in general, it was a good experience. I also recommend to reserve a table online to avoid waiting for too long.

I went to this conveyor belt sushi place recently, and honestly it was a bit disappointing. • Taste: The flavor of the food was really average. The selection wasn’t very wide, and nothing really stood out. • Freshness: You can tell the sushi itself is made fresh, but many of the other dishes taste like they were made from frozen or pre-made ingredients. It’s not much different from something you’d get at a supermarket. • Atmosphere: The place has a nice modern Japanese vibe, and the environment is actually quite good. • Service: It can be hard to get the staff’s attention when you need something. • Price: We spent about €90 for two people and still didn’t feel full. We actually went for burgers afterward. Overall, the place looks nice, but for the price and taste, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I take French classes next door, so I grab a sandwich and drink every day before class. The staff are so nice to me despite my (very) imperfect French, which I really appreciate. The sandwich I always get (Le Basque) is also delicious, especially when toasted. 5* for everything. Merci!!!

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.

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!
