Saw the Chef's table episode on this and knew I had to go. My wife and I really enjoyed the experience. We were seated downstairs in the "green house." Chef reportedly had Chanel do the design and it was beautiful The food made me believe that I could go pescatarian / vegetarian... just need an amazing chef to cook for me. I never knew beets could taste so good. My favorite dish was probably the specialty / beet tower one. Not many non alcoholic drinks available - just different types of lemonade The servers were incredibly attentive. They also don't take unused cutlery away which I thought makes more sense to me. Also got take pictures with chef passard who seemed so incredibly happy. Was an absolute pleasure to meet him. Would I come here again: absolutely

Incredible food and a special experience. However, we sat in the downstairs salon which was a bit isolated and lacking energy. Although it is technically the same service and menu we saw options such as a spirit cart and even interaction with the chef on the main floor. Would definitely return to experience the unique menu and sit on the main floor.

I was so excited to book a dinner here while on vacation after seeing the menu was almost all vegetarian. Close to our visit date, I began seeing very polarizing reviews which almost made me change my mind and cancel. While I'm glad I didn't, if you're reading this and feeling the same way, just cancel now. The service and atmosphere was outstanding and what I had expected. We both did the 12 course tasting menu which ended with a fish dish. We really ended up having 14 courses in total, 3 of which were delicious and I'll think about for a while. The rest, while absolutely interesting, were a lackluster or just completely missed the mark for us. Besides the 3 aforementioned dishes, I couldn't finish any of the plates. Some of the dishes sage flavors or excess of leeks were too strong to stomach and the salad portions were so large my jaw got tired. I recognize that, that may be personal to me but to give an unbiased review from my own palate, I found the dishes to be repetitive. While all interesting, it was 14 plates of mainly leeks, radishes, carrots, and asparagus just prepared in 14 different ways. I wish there was more variety. The dishes that stood out were the "hummus" and the other purèe dishes and the rhubarb dessert (that we weren't actually supposed to get). The most painful were the créme brûlèe and the beet tartare. I see how some people can really enjoy their experience here and I can say that I tasted vegetables in a new way, I cannot in good faith recommend a visit when there are SO many other lovely, delicious restaurants in Paris.

I was a little nervous going in due to the vegetarian menu but was blown away. We had the 12 course tasting menu with one fish course (Sea Bass). A starter glass of champagne and a bottle of Sancerre were perfect accompaniment. Now, a few things to keep in mind; 1) This is food rethought, so trying to compare to other high end food isn’t really practical. Take it for what it is, amazing tastes and textures you may not have had (I’ve had an amazing meal at the French Laundry as a counter point). 2) Don’t compare to meat dishes. I didn’t find myself in anyway “missing the meat”, and I love a great steak, etc. The food isn’t trying to replicate meat dishes with just vegetables (except maybe the beet tartar!). They are just fantastic dishes on their own accord. I would come back just for the vegetable consommé. 3) Don’t expect stuffy. We sat in the main dining room in a window with a lovely hand painted and stitched mural along the wall. There are maybe 11 tables in the room. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was excellent (prompt, helpful, even playful). We even got to meet the chef afterwards. Overall the entire experience was a wonderful capstone to our Paris adventure. We’ll be talking about it for years to come as I try to recreate some of the dishes at home.

one of the most incredible restaurants in the world - forever current, delicious and inimitable i have eaten here over ninety times and it is, of course, one of my favourite places anywhere an unmissable experience for anyone in Paris and beyond the lobster, the millefeuille, the turbot ... are just some of the classics that one must taste

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.

Quiet restaurant. Well cooked food, almost to perfection, but unfortunately the flavour combinations didn't blend at times. We had the Langoustine Ravioles, perfectly cooked, the flavour profile of Parmesan, orange and avocado didn't work for me. The lobster couldn't have been better cokked or served, but the accompanying puree was a bit salty. Worth a visit.

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!

Incredible crepes and the owner is precious! I look forward to coming here every time I am in Paris. A very welcoming place for both locals and tourists. Don’t forget to get the chef’s special for dessert.
Maxine Turner - 5 months ago

Craving a crepe? Nothing better than an intimate, yet warm restaurant near the Rodin and Napoleon Tomb. They speak English and take Amex which was a nice bonus.
Kendrick Go - 6 months ago

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.
Dima Pulkinen - 2 years ago

Stumbled upon this place before going to the Rodin Museum. 2 crepes, small salad, and 1/2 bottle of wine for 34 Euros. The buckwheat crepes were outstanding. The wine was good excellent although everyone else was having the cider. Would definitely recommend.

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 :)

Really friendly and polite staff. The lady spoke quite flawless English, which helped a lot. Delicious food. Antipasti recommended! Prices are okay considering the neighbourhood.

Charming neighbourhood Italian with a simple menu of very well-executed dishes. Rather modestly priced considering the upmarket area. UPDATE Aug 2021 - Sadly, Tavolino closed its doors during the crisis. However, it now seems to be on the point of re-opening under the name "Stelle", with different ownership.

We had a quick lunch here, stopping by chance. We had two salads, which were flavorful and a good size each. A special mention for my warm goat cheese salad, so amazing! The server was very friendly and attentive despite the busy lunch hour.

Nice French bistro. Cozy indoor venue. Staff were friendly and efficient. Good wine by the glass. Tasty green beans with Parmesan and steak with salad and fries. The molten chocolate cake was good. Prices were good for the portions.

A bit of atourist trap. The guys is nice, that's it. Also, 7€ for a small sparkling water. And they add ketchup to the Steak Tartar!

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!
Randi Mack - a month ago

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!
Jeff Milheiser - 4 weeks ago

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.

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.

The young woman who served us was friendly and welcoming, and thankfully spoke English. There was a little bit of a delay on the food arriving but it was very tasty and would absolutely recommend it. The meal also came with a soup/broth, not included in the picture.

As I strolled past the newly unveiled restaurant situated just across from my hotel, curiosity pulled me inside. To my delight, I was welcomed by the owner who happened to be a single woman, an empowered woman! 🙌🏼 Everything on the menu looked yummy, but I opted for the stewed beef with white rice, my order arrived quickly, revealing a culinary masterpiece. The meat, exquisitely tender and flavorful, paired harmoniously with the fresh and delectable bed of rice. It was a delightful experience, marked not only by the scrumptious flavors but also by the empowering presence of a friendly staff. I urge you to give this place a try and support a small business.
