Incredible experience. It was our last day in Paris and I'm so happy we chose this restaurant as our last hurrah. From the moment we sat down till the moment we stepped out of the restaurant we were taken care of. The staff here know how to give amazing service and go above to ensure you're comfortable, happy & most importantly in love with the food. Which brings me to the best part... The meals we had were PHENOMENAL. There was not one dish that was presented that we weren't satisfied with. My absolute favorites are: the scallops, Lobster, broth with ravioli & 'beef' tartarte. But as mentioned everything was delectable. I was very happy with the seating arrangements (downstairs) - the art along the walls are some of the plates they serve which was a nice fun fact that the waiters told us. Ambiance 10/10 - loved that everyone was having a great time and we were able to talk to other patrons. If you are unsure about reserving do it. It's definitely worth it!

I have to say it is the best food travel experience in Paris. At beginning, we just saw the comments about it is fantastic. But after we came, wow, amazing, the food is very fresh and delicious. Lobster is the best I have ever tasted, the sauce with lobster is amazing and can’t be replaced. Everyone should try it!! Really!!! The dessert is special and keeping the original taste of the fruit. Anyway, we will go back definitely, 100 percent! Love it!

For someone drawn to culinary expression centered around plants, dining at l’arpège felt like a pilgrimage, with soaring expectations—perhaps a bit too lofty. The distinctive touch was undeniable, with all ingredients freshly plucked from the chef's garden. Surprisingly though, the pinnacle of enjoyment came from the last meat-based dish. It led us to ponder whether there might ultimately be a limit in elevating the flavors of vegetables.

It is worth the money. I had the lunch menu and it was amazing, flavours and combinations I had never experienced in my life. The service was excellent, everyone was very friendly and it was a pleasure speaking to them during the meal. The lunch menu is long and there are a lot of small plates. Make sure you are hungry to have a better experience.

What an outstanding restaurant! In every way. The staff made us feel special. Loved the many vegetarian options that have been carefully crafted for great flavors. This is rare in most other Michelin starred restaurants that I researched because of my wife’s dietary needs. The Dover sole entree was cooked very well. The wine pairings that I allowed the sommelier to select were selected well to complement the food. The desserts were light and delightful. It was great to be greeted by Chef Passard at the end of the meal. Overall, our special occasion was made more special by this wonderful restaurant

My wife wanted to go to this place after reading about it and it being a Michelin 1 star. The staff is super friendly and nice. 5 stars for the staff for being so attentive and making you feel comfortable. The atmosphere is great too, what you would expect from a high end restaurant. We ordered the course meal for 98 euro a person, which was recommended by the staff. It came with scallops, quail and dessert. First they brought us some appetizers which were amazingly good, especially the fish one. Then they brought a mushroom with escargot soup. That's probably the best soup I have ever had. At this point I had pretty high expectations for the other courses, but unfortunately it did not meet the expectations. The scallops were good, but nothing out of this world. The same for tht quail. It was very disappointing, especially after that amazing mushroom soup. In my opinion it is not worth the price.

The best Michelin star restaurant I had during my time staying in Paris. All dishes are tasty, creative, and flavors are well balanced. Details are also habdled carefully. The service is also up bar. The price is very reasonable. If you can only have one Michelin star restaurant during your stay in Paris, try this one.

We wanted to visit at least one Michelin restaurant while we were in Paris, and found this restaurant. They offer great lunch courses for fair prices. We had lunch for €45 course (weekday only), but I paid extra for fish. Service was really good, food was amazing, atmosphere was cozy and calm. My husband had red wine that had unique flavor and smell, which he enjoyed with his duck. I highly recommend this restaurant when you visit Paris!

We came here for lunch and tried the formula menu. The food is decent with fixed flavors. The taste is much better than any tastes I tried in some Michelin restaurants

Good food but very, very slow. Nice proprietor. Took almost 90 minutes to make 12 crepes for 6 people. Forgot to bring the salads we ordered, and mixed up the food we ordered. Tasted good though.

We popped in around 9pm on a Wednesday and it was just us and the owner. He speaks excellent English, was very friendly, and the food was exquisite. I had the Duchess crepe and my wife had the Breton, both were served steaming hot with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream melting in the middle. These are next level crepes, not like what you get from street vendors, far superior. I also had the Cafe Liégeois, so very good. I would bet everything on the menu is delicious.

We were walking from Louvre to the Eiffel Tower, and happened to be in this street around lunch time, so we went in this small restaurant in the heart of Paris. The owner of this place is such a friendly and energetic person, fluent in several languages and extremely endearing. The food is beyond description, you should just go there and try it! I recommend you to get cider, a galette (salty pancake) with small green salad and a crêpe (sweet pancake) as a desert. If you are coming with friends, get at least a bottle of cider and one small green salad is fine to be shared.

Authentic Parisian creperie with INCREDIBLE crepes. The owner was serving us and when I asked him which crepe to get, he told me he would surprise me and that if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have to pay. Of course, it was INCREDIBLE (I believe it was the Normandise?). Highly recommend. Great food and even greater ownership.

We were craving for crepes and found this in the area. I really lovedddd the simple but traditional French crepes. The crepes were chewy/gummy in a really good way and the toppings complimented them so well. We got the duchess and the one with pear and caramelized sugar/toffee. It was soo addictive! The owner was extremely nice and friendly. We were trying to find a grocery store to buy some essentials for my daughter n he helped us with that. There’s also wifi here!!! Will definitely return and highly recommend!

Needless to say, we’re really disappointed with all the dishes served. Nothing unique, nothing great and special about it. Very unexpected since we saw good ratings on this restaurant. Ambience: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Food: 3.5/10 Wine: 9/10 We took the dégustation menu for dinner at 59€ per person, where the chef actually decides what to serve for the entire meal for all guests. (Which was a mistake to be frankly honest) — 2 petite versions of entrées, plats, and desserts at 59€ per person ~ not including the wine and drinks The 2 entrées were sadly either under seasoned or blandly cold: mushroom velouté - tastes like a normal mushroom soup, lacks salt and taste. Veau with pecorino - not really a pleasing dish, feels like i ate airplane food Plats: Fish with black rice risotto and black garlic- this is the most decent dish we had that night. Pretty good, but not wow. Volaille with mais purée and popcorn- this was a let-down. Most of our chicken was so dry, and the purée was just ok. Sauce has lack of flavor. Dessert: Chocolate fondant with hazelnut ice cream- best thing about this dish: the ice cream Île flottante - we’ve had better. Again nothing special. The only reason why i put 2 stars is for the service. Pleasant servers and always smiling. But overall, it did not compensate our taste, experience and expectations on this restaurant, especially for the price. It was our first and sadly it will also be our last visit here.

A hidden gem. One of my top five favorite resturants out of two weeks in Paris, ranking right up there with Mitchellin Star resturants. The food and drinks were all fantastic, and it was easy to get a fairly last minute reservation here.

Some of the best food I’ve ever had. My party did the discovery (taste) menu and everything was perfect. Customer service was so friendly and helpful!
Jaeli Volmer - 3 months ago

We were a party of 7 and had a very nice and pleasant experience at the restaurant. The server was prompt and present when needed and English for some of the party that needed it. 90% of the dishes we got were really good. We steered clear of the tasting menu as there were some dishes we did not want and unfortunately in said menu you do not get the choice for what you will be served. I wish it were possible to give half points as I’d really rate our experience at a 4.5. The octopus, cucumber, hummus soup and the tasting menu being “chef’s surprise” only are what hold me back from a 5 star review.

Arrived late into Paris from London. Au Coin de la Rue was within walking distance of our hotel on a rainy night. Stopped in and ordered the Eggs Mayonaisse, the Beef Tartare w fries, salad and fresh baguette , the "Butcher's Piece" (flank steak) w a mmushroom pepper gravy, fries and salad, and a hot red wine. Theu were all delicious. Prices were good. The two young men who were working were funny and treated us well. Overall a great first stop on our first ever visit to Paris.

Exceptional! An administrative restaurant which offers very good cuisine worthy of a good Parisian restaurant! It's varied and tasty in a pleasant setting and with quality service. This is the best administrative restaurant!

Friendly service people. However, the choice is limited, very limited for people with a meat-free diet, for example. They have a choice of fish and a predefined vegetable side dish. They are deprived of fries all year round because they are only reserved for grills. A self-service system for side dishes would be welcome, this would allow the customer to compose their plate as they wish. The vegetarian dishes and desserts are generally very well prepared. Allergens and ingredients used in processed foods (sauces, soups, desserts, starters) are not mentioned anywhere.

Very good level of service. Tasty, organic dishes and quite a wide choice. It’s certain that the rooms are school-like, so what!? What’s on the plate makes the difference. Thank you to the Auri staff who work every day to provide us with a quality service.

A superb discovery of a small restaurant with warm decoration and an unusual setting with a large, super beautiful old fireplace at the back and the kitchen open to the entrance to the restaurant. The welcome and service are friendly and attentive. A small menu with a selection of good dishes to my taste. I had a beef tataki as a starter and poultry to accompany the mushrooms and truffles. It was absolutely delicious! The particularity of this place is that the dishes are almost prepared before your eyes, so great confidence in fresh products and the cleanliness of the kitchen. The value for money is more than satisfactory. I highly recommend. Well done to the chefs, thank you to the staff.

Meals taken in groups. Monkfish served overcooked, rubbery. Unpleasant boss. And high price for the meal. But maybe that's how it is in Paris. I won't go back!

Went a bit early so there was not much of an ambience but it was cozy. the only not great thing for me was that the smell of tobacco was too much. The cocktail I had was tasty, a moscow mule, fairly priced.
Monica Rivera - a year ago

This restaurant is incredible. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I speak very poor French and they were very patient and so helpful. They have an English menu as well. I ordered an iced latte, the avocado toast, and the creme brulee. It was one of the best meals I've eaten in Paris. The toast have extremely fresh ingredients, the perfect amount of cream cheese and was delicious. The portion was filling and satisfying without being heavy. The prices are a little bit higher than some other restaurants I've been to, but it is really explained by the incredible quality of the ingredients. I can't recommend this place enough. The creme brulee was the best I've ever eaten.

Poor cocktail quality, bartender doesn't know how to make cocktails from menu. Smells bad inside and not clear how this place have rating 4.4. Aperol Spritz the worst ever.
