One word - terrible. The manager seated us and immediately started pressuring us to order. There…read morewas a mother with a young daughter next to us who asked for a carafe but this guy brought a large bottle and opened it for them before the mom could say anything. The guy then told us that we had to order in 5 minutes or the kitchen would be closed (this was at 8pm). I called our hotel (who had recommended the place) and had them speak to the owner. We left as quickly as we could. Never going back here. Paris has many incredible restaurants. Don't waste your time and money on this one. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Wanted to try something different on my first meal in Paris, so I opted for Moroccan food at…read moreEssaouira. Booking was very straightforward on the website. The decor in here is quite stunning. You really feel like you're in Morocco with the decorations. And it's also not even that loud, which is perfect for a nice intimate dinner. Had the Kefta with Moroccan Salad and Royal Pigeon Pastilla as starters, Lamb Tagine with Seasonal Fruits and Kefta Meatball Couscous for entrées, and the Selection of Moroccan Pastries as dessert. Portions were really good and everything was super tasty. Not the absolute best food I've ever had, but I was not disappointed. Staff here are quite friendly. Even though they don't all speak English, they are very nice and helpful. And yes, they do have English menus at least. Really enjoyed Essaouira, glad I made the trip here.

I found Girafe on my last day in Paris and was able to snag a same day reservation for 10pm less…read morethan hour before! This was probably due to it raining all day long, but a win for me! Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Our waiter was really amazing! I'm so annoyed I can't remember his name, receipt says "Mamady T. We arrived and were greeted warmly and escorted to our table. Everyone we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We had a peek view of the Eiffel Tower from our table. I even got a great view of the tower from 1 of the bathrooms (stall at the far right end). Drinks: the pornstar martinis were amazing! We just continued ordering rounds of them. My friend also ordered a Mexican mule (Moscow mule but with tequila), he wasn't a big fan. The other guests ordered mocktails. Food: every single dish we ordered was amazing! Everything was delicious and flavorful, which was missing in a lot of the other restaurants we ate at in Paris. We ordered the entire appetizer menu of squid, codfish accras, lobster ravioli, and prawns. The lobster ravioli was the best! This could be an entree where you can enjoy a bigger portion. The Accras and prawns were really good and good portions. The squid was good but the portion was small, especially for the price. Entrees: we had the grilled octopus, lobster linguini, cod, and chicken with mashed potatoes. The octopus was the star of the show! It was nice and thick and cooked perfectly, not rubbery or chewy. It was served over a sweet potato mash/puree. It was good but I personally don't like sweet potato, so I would've preferred it over regular mashed potatoes. The lobster linguini was al dente perfection with nice chunks of lobster meat. The chicken was good and actually tasted better than it looks. I didn't try the cod but my friend said she enjoyed it.

Tip: you must ask for a table with the Eiffel Tower view. We dined downstairs in the winter (patio…read morewas closed) but had the perfect view and saw the Eiffel Tower sparkling as we are. The restaurant was pricey, but it was worth it to celebrate my best friends bday and first time in Paris. The lobster pasta was 10/10. The steak and fries were good but steak was slightly overcooked. The Crab salad was nice and refreshing- generous on the crab! Octopus was decent as well- great flavor but also slightly over overcooked. We also had a side of truffle pasta to try and it was solid. The best part was actually the dessert the passion fruit pavlova was a dream- fluffy light and bursting with flavor, it is my favorite dessert in Paris and Girafe does it well! Paris requires you to follow up with the staff when you need the bill- it's not rude, it's just how Paris is- they allow you to dine for as long as you want. Slow down and enjoy the pace of Paris!
