My wife and I got married at Les Salons Hoche in October 2019. We selected the venue without having…read morevisited in person, and instead relied on photos/reviews and the help of our main contact, Guiliana. The venue was absolutely beautiful. We had the Haussman apartments for the bridal parties to get ready hours before the ceremony which were large and well decorated, perfect for pictures. Our first look took place in a beautiful Parisian courtyard with our bridal party looking on from balconies above us. Les Salons Hoche provided us with a 1950's Rolls Royce and a driver to take us around Paris for photos (Bir-Hakeim overlooking the Eiffel Tower, and a side road with the Arc de Triomphe in the background). When we returned, our wedding took place on the rooftop, enclosed in glass and beautifully decorated. After the ceremony, we moved downstairs to another room for the cocktail hour with extra space in the courtyard. The reception took place in a beautiful, marble-floored room called Etoile. Every little detail, whether we discussed it or not, was perfectly done. They host a lot of events there, so when you visit before the wedding (we were there 4 days before ours) there is lots of work going on. On the day of the wedding though, the location is completely transformed with tasteful details (white curtains, flowers, candles, etc.). The food was amazing. We upgraded our food package (to "Prestige") and it exceeded expectations. Our guests, who mainly come from New York City and attend lots of weddings, raved about the quality/flavor/abundance of food during cocktail hour and during dinner. For dinner, we had the salad with lobster and mango (excellent), Beef Tenderloin (very well cooked unlike most wedding food), and Assortment of Cheeses (you're in France, of course, this is good :) ) , and the Cake (American style with strawberry inside - this was a huge hit with our guests). This was all made possible because of the hard work and excellent communication of Guiliana. She was amazing to work with and spent hours with us discussing the venue, food, timing, and all the small details. We worked with her across multiple time zones (9 hour time difference) and she always made herself available to work with us. Wedding planning can be stressful, especially from afar, but Guiliana made this an enjoyable experience for us. The true test of the success of a wedding comes after it's all over. When I asked my wife "what would you change about the wedding day", her response was "not a single thing",

Absolutely incredible venue! I was there for a friend's wedding in June 2017 and was positively…read moreimpressed. Perfectly located just blocks away from Champs-Élysées and next to several chic hotels, the space is a fabulous. The décor is classically Parisian chic with polished marble and glittering chandeliers. But what really sets it apart is the food and the service. It's a family-run business and you can really tell they're on top of things. I can still remember the steak with foie gras and the lemon tart...to die for!! All the waiting staff was super professional and warm--definitely different than the rest of Paris. Hopefully I'll get invited back to some other celebration!

My friends and I used to come here quite often and loved it - but of late it's a bit more crowded which tends to ruin the relaxed vibe. However, if you've never been I would recommend a one time visit (at least)! Whilst it can be expensive when you and a group of friends each buy drinks - it's better to buy the bottle of thier specialty punch, to share, which tastes great (rum based and I'm not even a rum fan) and is super strong and goes down easily (so be warned).

It was our last night in Paris and we were getting together to have our group dinner and to say…read moregoodbye to each other, our leader and Paris. This is a restaurant that caters only to tour groups and prior to arriving, our leader took a tally of what we would like to eat after providing us with the available choices. it was difficult to decide since there were so many choices of appetizer, entree and dessert. I dercided on the frog's legs, the prawns with vegetables and the tarte tartin for dessert. The restaurant is cave like and once we were seated, there was red and white wine brought to the table and delicious bread. During our meal, which was a nice surprise, there was live entertainment [they were very good and it was most enjoyable] The service was prompt, the meal was delicious and I would recommend.

For a Parisian room, this was quite large. The room was also quiet, which I appreciated being that it was a fairly busy hotel. We didn't get to check out the spa but it would've been nice to unwind there after a day of walking around. The staff was super attentive and anything we called down for was brought up within minutes. Turndown at night was always welcomed and it was nice to come back from dinner to a refreshed room. Only downside is Rue de Rene Boulanger is a tiny street and most Ubers will pick you up on the main road (Rue de St Martin). We always asked to be picked up in front of the cafe (Le Pachyderme) across the street.

These smaller bistro type eateries are the lifeblood of the local cuisine. They consistently offer reasonably priced dishes that are full of flavor and technique. The wine and drink options are well catered to the menu and they provide options for most price points. The service we experienced was exactly what you want... our server had plenty of suggestions based on the offerings of the day. The service was attentive and responsive... not much more than you could ask for. I had the duck breast being offered... it was served alongside crispy potatoes, green beans, and a salad. Adding in the onion soup and a glass of wine... it quickly became a King's dinner at a very reasonable price. I would be more than happy to eat here again and look forward to exploring the rest of the menu offering many local and classic French options.

Like others have said, it's super small inside, so you'll get to know your neighbors really well. But your attention will be more focused on the food they bring out. I had the lamb with thyme sauce and my wife had the confit duck leg. Don't be afraid to pick the sauce of the day over the regular honey sauce. The sauce of the day on the day we went was a blackberry sauce which was crazy good. With a bottle of wine at 24 euros and both entrees under 20 euros, you couldn't really beat a meal of that quality in many places around Paris for that price. It was only after I ate at Le Potager did I see it had a bunch of great reviews on Yelp. It's definitely earned all those stars.
