Avocado toast
Shereen O.

Bring your wallet. You have been warned. Located in the Intercontinental Le Grand, this cozy restaurant is nice for lunch or dinner. The decor is lovely, even down to the toile on the chairs. I could imaginr imagine this as a nice spot for drinks or coffee and dessert before or after the opera. It is quite expensive, as most plates are over $30 euro. My daughter had avocado toast and enjoyed it. (Almost US $40!) My French onion soup was delicious, but $25 EUROS!!!!! All servers have been wonderful and very attentive. Bring your wallet. You have been warned.

Perfect place for a drink and treats before or after the opera. Such a delight and lots of good choices. It's a beautiful dining experience. We have been here several times and it's always good.

Inside the Intercontinental Grand, Cafe de la Paix has been around since 1862. The place is pretty, feels historic and a lot of the menu seems pretty timeless as well. The french onion soup is super rich and is from the restaurant opening. But the seafood bar is really the highlight for apps, and we tried a bouquet of shrimp which didn't disappoint. The touredos of beef with bernaise sauce was probaby our fave, although the steamed cod and beef tartare were also solid. Good wine selection and a nice escape from the bustling streets outside.

Conveniently located next to Palais Garnier and a metro stop, Café de la Paix was easy to find and seated us right away on a Thursday morning. We had a croissant, pain au chocolat, crème brûlée, a hot chocolate, and coffee. The food and drinks were pretty average and it cost 40€. Creme brûlée was pretty good, but it was missing the top, crispy, burnt sugar layer. The real draw here is the interior. It's absolutely beautiful and gives off that quintessential Parisian elegance. Come for the ambiance and the view, but don't expect to be blown away by the menu.

While getting out of the Opera in Paris, we encounter this place by chance. Café De La Paix enchants visitors with its rich history and luxurious ambiance, earning consistent praise for its timeless charm. While the elegant setting is undeniably impressive, we think the menu is a bit overpriced, citing a gap between the cost and the quality of certain dishes. The service is over the top, mainly for its attentiveness and efficiency, with staff creating a welcoming experience. Our feedback on the cuisine is mixed--we appreciate the visually stunning and flavorful desserts, while the main dishes felt short of an average expectations.

I had an awesome dining experience. Before an opera show we were able to get reservations. Everything was top notch. The ambience,food and service was great. The painting on the wall is gorgeous. A perfect ladies night in Paris. I loved it.

When visiting France, this place is a musttttt if you want the exquisite experience of feeling like you're rich lol. I felt like I was in the middle of a movie here, the hosts and hostesses were so kind and everyone speaks English even though I was forcing myself to speak French to learn haha. I only came here for dessert although they do serve lunch here as well as dinner. It is done in a separate room. Lovely designs and art give the place a nice cozy feeling.

Cafe de la Paix was a little bit of a disappointment when it comes to food. I had a steak tartare that well executed but their fish and ships version was really hard. I think they use filet of cod fish that are breaded but what we got could have been used as a hammer. The Maitre D was very professional and came to our table to address our concerns. The service is absolutely first class and professional. The decor is charming, classy and inviting. Their croque-Monsieur and Madame re also delicious.

Lovely place to have dinner It's our second time here. Delicious food, great location and amazing service

french onion soup w/ comte cheese & Burgundy snails served in shells w/ parsley butter
Julie K.

a charming, beautiful interior and delicious food. i know spots like these are a hit or miss bc they're kind of "tourist trap-y" (it's right across Palais Garnier), but i personally loved it. french onion soup had the perfect level of thickness, escargot was saucy & oily in the best way. highlight though was the filet de daurade - sea bream with braised endives in beurre blanc (French butter sauce), which had a fresh, clean taste to it & was cooked perfectly. and highly recommend the millefeuille caramelise for dessert!!! the crunchy/creamy combo was delightful and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. what we ordered: - french onion soup w/ comte cheese - Burgundy snails served in shells w/ parsley butter - filet de daurade royale - royal sea bream filet with braised endives in beurre blanc -dessert: millefeuille caramelise

A fantastic dinner and while the ambience is elegant, and refined, you'll find that most people dinning here are casual The staff spoke English and were very friendly. Tip: Americans need to understand the time it takes for a full dinner service in France is a lot different than back in the States so sit back enjoy the ambience and experience and let the restaurant showcase their food, culture and their service. Portions are smaller but everything was well presented and delicious.

Seafood Tower
Tiffany N.

We were walking by and saw the crowd and the seafood display window is impressive. We added our name on the list and came back 2 hours later. Pascal, our server was absolutely fantastic. He is very friendly and professional and also very attentive to our table. I ordered the small seafood tower and it was huge when it came out. I asked Pascal is this for 1 person and he replied with a big smile and nodded his head. My husband ordered the Sole Meuniere. It was absolutely delicious. I also order the Scallop Carpaccio. Very flavorful. We shared a Creame Brulee. It was fantastic. The restaurant is very busy because it's part of the Intercontinental Hotel. The menu is very pricey here. I saw the french onion soup for $28. The food is very good. So if you are not willing to drop $$$ this place is not for you.

Since arriving in Paris, I have been on a search for amazing muscles and fries in this place,…read morewithout a doubt, is it! Being in Montmartre, you are pretty much guaranteed to eat well. So I ventured out on my 20 minute walk to the spot I was warmly greeted and ushered to a table inside. Once I sat down and made myself comfortable, I produced the menu and ordered a glass of rosé a carafe of water, and of course, the muscles and fries. The muscles were cooked in an extremely delicious Normandy cream broth that was deliciously decadent and of course the fries were hand, cut and cooked to perfection. What I also love, is that just about every meal is served with baguette and of course I've used a baguette to dip in the delicious creamy broth - SO SO SO SO Good! After stuffing myself full of muscles and fries, I couldn't eat another bite, but of course I did order another glass of wine. If you were looking for a top tier, muscles and fries, this is a place. You should definitely check out. Beyond that, I saw so many other amazing dishes coming from the kitchen, and I could only imagine what else they have to offer on their delicious menu. Bon appétit.

But the actual food presented here would probably leave you hungry. The pink prawns are nothing more special than shrimps we ordinarily buy from stores. Mussels: each piece is so tiny, and the cream sauce flavor covered up what I wanted to taste- the mussel. The oysters were the only items that were decent. Very disappointed with the lobster roll. We have had lobster rolls in many places of the world, this one does not cut it. For 19 euros, I got maybe two bites of lobster and/ or crayfish meat inside of bread that was over-buttered and so doughy. Each time I chewed the bread it seemed to grow into a bigger bite in my mouth. Interestingly, someone else who also ordered the lobster roll had his bread partially cut off by the chef. Considering how this bread is, the cutting makes total sense. I later asked the chef why that one was done differently, he said: "No, it's done the same way. The bread was not cut smaller." (Although I had just walked pass the cutting board and there it was the rest of the bread still right there...) Likable restaurant concept, pretty photos on their website, but I wish I picked a different place for our special meal in Paris.

It's not often that I take advice from a YouTube channel called "Les Frenchies," featuring a woman…read morewho sports striped sailor sweaters and a sensible haircut, but in this case I did, and I think I've been very wrong about the Frenchies thus far. Because in this case, THEY KNEW THEIR STUFF. I loathe oysters with the heat of 10,000 suns, so I had the paté. It was just fine - tasty, and served with plenty of little toast points. But the paté isn't the point of this place. The point is the oysters, and they are divine. My husband had a dozen of their second-least-expensive oysters and he pronounced them amazing - splendid - SUPERB. They are beyond fresh, served on a proper platter with a tall base, and come with a wonderful bottle of vinegar that's aged in cognac casks. He was warned to use only a drop or two, or it will "kill the taste of the oysters." I don't know about that, but I do know that I tried a drop, and I have never tasted anything like it. It was OMG so good. The oysters come with bread - a basket of sturdy slices of what I think was sourdough rye. He had a glass of Bourgogne Aligoté (white), which was eye-wateringly expensive but very, very good. I had a glass of pinot noir, also of very high quality. The restaurant is very small - maybe 10 tables, including the 3 outside - and looks clean and fresh and chic. We sat outside in the warm sun and fresh breeze and had a delightful dining experience. Wait staff are sweet. No one rushes you. It isn't a touristy joint AT ALL, which is lovely to experience in Paris. My only warning is that if you are a larger person, perch carefully upon the chairs. I thought mine was going to collapse at one point. But it didn't. :-) And the oysters were superb.

There was a smattering of ice on the tray but certainly not enough to keep the oysters cold. That said, perhaps this is how the French serve them. These were the only whelk of the trip that had sand in them. And, service was underwhelming. I think a party seated after us was served drinks first and I had to walk to the bar to ask for my check. There, I was ignored until I said something. Then, I asked if I should pay at the bar and they replied, "If you want." They clearly were not ashamed that I was compelled to seek out my check on foot. It was just poor service for a $$$ place. Though, the fois gras pate and smoked scallops were quite good. There are so many other great seafood places in Paris; I wouldn't recommend this one.
