This is an extraordinary Michelin experience-style restaurant. There is no real menu other than a wine menu. You just choose how many courses you want your tasting menu to consist of and whether or not you'd like to add a wine pairing and caviar tasting to start. It can get quite expensive but you have a lot of options to fit your budget. As frame of reference, we went all in with a 7 course tasting menu accompanied with a pairing of five wines and added caviar tasting and it came to ~$700 for two. This is in line with the prices of other high-end Michelin places around the world so it's not all that egregious, you just have to know what type of place this is before you book. As with any other fancy tasting menu experience I've participated in, some dishes weren't great while others make the list for best-of-all-time. Specifically at Boutary I found the first several courses to be particularly underwhelming. But the last several courses they redeemed themselves many times over. They made us feel special by giving us one dish that they said we were the first to try it, and overall I do feel like the served us more than seven courses. So they are certainly generous. There were two dishes in particular that stood out. One was what I think was an aged Galician beef which looked raw but didn't taste raw and was absolutely delicious. It was like a French wagyu, and as tourists visiting from the US this was exactly the type of French representation we were after. The second stand out dish was this mashed potatoes and caviar combo, one they said that has been on their menu since they first opened. That dish in particular leveled up this entire experience for us. The aforementioned beef dish was brilliantly paired with a French red wine which elevated that dish further, but the rest of the wines were white wines and didn't necessarily seem to be thoughtfully paired with any particular dish. But they give you quite a bit of wine with each tasting and we walked out pretty tipsy. The staff here are very professional, and speak English (if you're visiting and that matters to you). In fact, most of the other diners in there at the same time we were also were English-speaking. This doesn't seem to be a local spot, but I could be wrong. The interior is also beautiful and great for pictures. Overall Boutary is an excellent choice for a date night in Paris and I highly recommend. read more

Just a superb (Michelin star) restaurant in Paris in the Saint Germain area. Small and intimate. Great service and unique menu every evening. You won't see a menu as each day is unique to the ingredients available to the chef. We enjoyed the 5 course selection with caviar. There is also a 7 course choice! You will enjoy this experience and the food. read more

There are hundreds of restaurants in Paris - many of which have chef's tasting menus - THIS IS THE MOST MAGNIFICENT of them all (including the George V). We have visited Paris many times and tried many restaurants. Once we came here, it has become something we plan for months ahead of time to return to. Boutary is a small restaurant with an amazing chef and the equally amazing Frederique who orchestrates food, wine, knowledge and caviar into the most incredible edible evening. The tastes are perfection and new and often give you an experience you have never had. We will return every time we are fortunate enough to visit Paris. You should too. read more

I cannot overstate this - this was the most decident and amazing caviar experience I've ever had! All the dishes were very creative and the flavors meshed so well even though you'd never have thought it. We did the upgraded 7 course and it was so well worth it. Amazing amazing experience. read more

Some people say Paris is more beautiful in the rain. I have to agree because the rainy evening I spent at Boutary was one of my favorite parts of my recent trip. Boutary is a restaurant offering tasting menus featuring caviar and Champagne. This offering drew me in like a moth to a flame, and coupled with the fact that my bestie told me it was a must based on her experience on her own recent trip, I booked a resi for myself and my sister and dad. This was an absolute treat. The Boutary house has been established since 1888 and have their own sturgeon to produce the highest quality caviar. You can choose from a caviar tasting or opt for one of the coursed menus that features caviar. We went with the 3-course tasting that is priced at 99 Euro. It starts with a bump of caviar as well as a phenomenal description of the restaurant and its heritage. Then it moves on to both an appetizer and entree that feature caviar. You finish with your choice of dessert. I would not say the portions are overwhelmingly large, but they aren't tiny either. For the price, it was an absolutely fabulous experience and filled with caviar. On top of the life of luxury I experienced eating so much caviar in one sitting, I also got to pair my experience with Champagne and some delicious white wine. The atmosphere at Boutary is intimate, cozy and elegant with the service to match. I would definitely put this as a stop on your Paris list if you want something special. read more

Their caviar selection is awesome. No intrusive service but attentive. We flew back from Chicago to experience again

I was looking for an elegant but not over-the-top spot for a dinner in Paris, and came across a recommendation for Boutary. Overall, it was a lovely experience, with a few small caveats [more on that below]. The food itself was really, really good - with attention to detail both on the taste and the visual side. Their specialty - the caviar - that they cultivate at the Black Sea coast was quite pleasant and reminded of childhood flavors (before it became the "extravagance" it is today). The service was a tad distracted at times, with a few faux pas that they fixed quickly and readily. While the service all up might need a bit more polishing for the place to qualify for a Michelin star, I have to say that, compared to my subsequent meals in Paris, the team at Boutary was by far the most friendly and accommodating, especially Frédéric. The place is small but elegant (with lots of red, which I don't mind but it might be not to everyone's taste), and is tucked away in a side street off the main tourist tracks in Saint Germain des Pres, so it is quiet and cute. Circling back to the food, among the things that stood out to me on the 7-course version of the tasting menu was the dessert: between the two options, I decided to go with the Cuban-themed chocolate one that may have sounded exotic but turned out to be delightful. I was not sure how I felt about the promise of an infusion of Cuban cigar smoke and mojito in a dessert but was beyond pleasantly surprised. Quite a high note to end the dinner, and clearly showed the chef's mastery in this department. All in all, it was a pleasant evening. read more

Good food, great ambiance and nice service and ambiance . A couple dishes were off the mark but overall great experience.

Incredible dining experience. Very attentive service, every dish was a work of art both in presentation and in taste. Cozy ambiance perfect for a date or intimate family gathering. I was particularly blown away by the caviar potato appetizer and the desserts. read more

How this place doesn't have a star- or two- is beyond me. Had such an incredible meal here!! We did the 5 course tasting menu and 3 glass wine tasting and every course was better than the next. Their signature potato dish was the star and not far behind was their caviar selection. The staff were so lovely and had such great conversation with them. The vibe of the entire place was great! Would 1000% return. Book and you won't regret! read more

This place is very special. They farm their own caviar. They had a 7 course menu or a 5 course menu. We ordered the 7 course menu and it was superb. The service was impeccable, the waiter spoke multiple languages and was very informative. The ambience was ok. They have a Michelin star. It a bit pricey and if you are up for some fine dining this is a good option. read more

We tried Boutary for the first time tonight and it was absolutely amazing. The food was top notch, the service was very attentive and warm. The restaurant was chic with the upstairs dining room inspired by kintsugi with the gold in the cracked walls. We did the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing. Every wine selection paired perfectly and they were very accommodating with anyone's preferences. We added a three course caviar menu as well and the caviar tastings were some of the best we had. If you are in Paris, this is definitely a place to come and enjoy. read more

Boutary - Amuse bouche - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This meal is going down in my personal history as a top 5 of all time. Our server, Charles, was so pleasant and informative about every dish we were enjoying. The caviar assortment to start the night was fascinating and delicious. Each course that followed was better than the next. I would love to go back and have that meal again and again. Definitely going on my list to go back to the next time we are in Paris. read more

5 Star meal and worth the splurge in Paris! Make sure you make reservations well in advance. This gem is worth it. Atmosphere is bold, trendy and upscale but romantic. A very unusual combination yet it works. We started with a caviar and champagne tasting. Wonderful! The appetizer we had was the Pomme de Terre. We only ordered one to share. THAT was a mistake. It was so delicious I could have just had that for dinner. It was unbelievably amazing and decadent. My husband and I still talk about it. I ordered for my main course the Wild Cod and my husband Pork, prepared in various ways with different cuts. It must have been a special for the night because I cannot see it on the current menu. Both dishes were impeccably presented and prepared. It was quite the experience dining here. Visited June 2017 read more

Amazing. Incredible food and fantastic presentation and service. Our expectations were high, and Boutary exceeded our expectations. Expensive but it was our splurge and glad we did. We had the 7 course menu and 3 wines. Strongly recommend. read more

Took my husband here for dinner for his birthday. The restaurant is known for their cavier. We had their tasting menu and it was amazing.

Pricey place but really good. The chef is half Japanese-half Korean so there is a ton of Asian influence in the cuisine here. Each course was paired with high end Bordeaux wines and we finished the entire meal off with a Polish flavored vodka. Honestly the pictures don't do the food justice. So many quality ingredients and such well composed meals. I was in awe. It's almost sacrilegious that this place doesn't have a Michelin star. Whatever the reason it is, it can't be the food. The decor was interesting. Most of the lighting was in the walls and the red backdrop of the restaurant gave it a pretty unique feeling. This place has a Russian name, and an Asian chef who is preparing French food! Whodathunk? Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more

If you are in Paris and looking for a really special dining experience, please do yourself a favor and try to book a table at Boutary. This was my first visit to Paris and I wanted to take my wife somewhere special for our first wedding anniversary. Boutary achieved that and changed the game for a fine dining experience. Every dish was beautifully explained and arranged and their wine pairings were dead on with enhancing each meal. Not only was the food spectacular (and their signature dish is one of the best bites of food I've had) but the wait staff was incredibly accommodating. Even with it being a tasting menu, we told them my wife was pregnant and they went above and beyond making sure everything she was served was safe to eat for the baby and yet still delicious. To top it off, our waiter Frederic recommended a few places to visit in Montmartre and forgot to hand us the list he wrote. He followed up the next day via email with everything we needed to do in the area and places to eat and drink. Frederic, along with the entire staff, set the bar incredibly high in terms of service, professionalism, and all around just great people. TLDR: 10/10 Just go here and have an amazing time. PS: Would post pictures of the food but that would spoil the fun. Just trust me, you won't be disappointed. read more

GO HERE! I know this might not show up as the top restaurant in Paris because it lacks a large quantity of reviews, but I promise it's delicious and you'll love it! My boyfriend and I came here for a nice meal on our last night in Europe before heading back to the US and it was wonderful. I'm gluten free and pescatarian and they easily and willingly accommodated the tasting menu to my needs. Every course was so delicious and the wine was equally as wonderful. This place will have a Michelin Star (or two) in the next year or so. Go now before it gets even more expensive! read more

This restaurant reminds me of Buzzfeed's Worth It series for the $$$ price point. We had a delicious five course meal including monkfish cheeks, steak and root vegetables, potato cake and caviar, and raspberry sorbet, to name a few highlights. The waiter was extremely professional and accommodated all of our questions in English. This restaurant is an excellent example of high class French food with striking red, black, and white decor. However, it was rather pricey and I can name plenty of French restaurants at the $$ price point that would be my Worth It winner. read more

Boutary - French Near Me - Paris, 75

One of our best meals in Paris. We did the 5-course tasting menu with wine pairing. Service was exceptional. Our waiter was very attentive and explained the dishes well. Courses were also served at a good pace. My fav dishes: The first starter with a spoonful of caviar put on our hand - very fresh and light. The second starter with foie gras, smoked eel, nuts and light pickle slice with Jerusalem artichoke sauce - absolutely dynamite! And all desserts with green apples taste so refreshingly good. The entree of black-end steak was very well made. Cooked to perfection. I wish the meat could have some fat to add some richness though. But that's only my personal preference. My bf loved the lean meat. Will for sure go back next time we come visit Paris. read more

High quality food. The taste and presentation is top notch, and prices are reasonable for the quality.

An incredible dining experience. Do the caviar tasting for sure. All of the food was really top level as was the service. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. On par with the greatest restaurants in Paris without all the stuffiness. Go and enjoy. read more

INCREDIBLE. My husband surprised me for our 5 year anniversary and took me here. This was our 1st gastronomy experience (we usually poo poo it) and we were just blown away. Delicious food, caviar, and wine. We did the preset menu with the caviar and wine pairing, which I would recommend. No, this is not a cheap stop, but we also felt for the experience and food and it was actually reasonable. VERY friendly people working there. The decor is also to die for (red, white, and black). Overall, awesome experience. read more

My first time in Paris visiting with my daughter who was there for a semester studying. I was looking for some place nice for us to go and enjoy caviar. This place was amazing!!! We chose the 5 course meal with wine and it was delicious. It may look small from the outside but its not. It's quit perfect. The service is spot on. They explained everything that we were getting and made the experience very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant whether enjoying it with a loved one, friend or family member it's the perfect setting for a wonderful evening. I highly recommend visiting, even if you don't want caviar they have many options. read more

We dined at Boutary during or visit to Paris last year. If was amazing. I was so excited to dine again during our visit this year. Last year, the meal was special. The combination of flavor and texture in the food was exceptional. Tonights meal was totally different. The flavors were decent, but not exceptional. The textures were good on two of the five dishes, but missed the mark on three of the dishes. It was like the restaurant was under new ownership (I don't think this is the case). I heard the owner opened a new restaurant and was at the new restaurant during our meal. Makes sense to me since the dining experience we had tonight was shockingly poor. Based on last year's experience, I would have put Boutary on the list of my favorite restaurants of all time. Tonight I took Boutary off my list and will not go back. Too bad. read more

We had lunch here and it was such a great meal especially for the affordable price (not cheap but affordable). Starting with the mushroom dish, we were treated to a light and elegant delight. Then came the lamb dish which was excellent, melted in your mouth. The sauce was especially enjoyable. The dessert of chocolate, nuts in caramel, and custard was the perfect end to the dining experience. read more

Boutary is the inception of the caviar renaissance with its convivial atmosphere and luxe meets modern esthetic. The caviar is exquisite. The buttery roe melted in my mouth, and were impeccably paired with a choice champagne--server's selection. Boutary is a must for tradition, atmosphere, and taste. read more

Delicious! Not a caviar expert, but I did enjoy sampling & learning more about it. I took my husband there for his birthday and we both loved the variety of tasting plates. Some of our favorites - crab appetizer, potato & caviar duo, fois gras accompanied by a date cream, the modernized fish & chips. Elegant yet accessible menu and a nice staff. We'll go back! read more
