    Excellent for what it was, although I would have liked more variety in the dishes. Full disclosure: this is not the type of place I typically go to, so my review might not be as useful for foodies...more of the friend that gets brought along for it. If you are a foodie you'll likely love everything about it - the decor, the cramped and hip atmosphere, and of course the food. The food was great, I just wasn't expecting as much seafood...but I'm pretty sure the menu rotates so I won't focus on the specific courses. My favorite parts came at the start and the end of the meal - the soup was fantastic and a great way to start, and I had a pork dish at the end that I thought was fantastic, but they ended up giving my wife what looked like the leftovers of a serving, which she didn't take too kindly to. Overall we really enjoyed the experience, and the staff was helpful whenever we had a question or wanted something. Trying a different cocktail with each course was really memorable, and I found myself more excite about the drinks than the food at times. One other thing - someone near our table was expecting a baby, so I believe she was given vegetarian options and they looked AMAZING. If I ever go back I think I'll go with that option if it's still available.

    Of course we had to come here since we had been stalking Chef Taku on Instagram for a while. The concept here is very cool, options for 5 to 7 courses and the price includes a cocktail with each drink (you can opt out and get non-alcoholic if that is your preference). The food is very Japanese yet very French, and comes at a flawless pace. Dishes are very creative, and complement and contrast each other perfectly. A few standouts for me included a raw tuna dish with greens and shaved cured eggyolks, foie gras cubes with daikon and frozen grated cheese (sounds crazy, tastes AMAZING), and a great piece of iberico pork. I highly recommend checking this place out, the food and cocktail pairing is perfect (and I am not a cocktail guy) and service is excellent.

    Dersou is my new favorite place in Paris. I really adore everything about this little spot. Dersou is a mix between Brooklyn, Tokyo and Paris. There aren't many seats, but the bar seating opens up to a buzzing kitchen creating a perfect atmosphere. The interior is utterly beautiful. From the stools to the tableware. From the employees' clothing to the bathroom. I really loved everything about it. The most important thing? The food and coffee was really good. I haven't had a better avocado toast anywhere than here at Dersou. A thick-cut slice of sourdough bread, mashed avocado, different fresh and pickled vegetables and a poached egg. Sounds simple - it is, but really delicious. My coffee was equally good, with a perfect balance between coffee, milk and crema. Finally: The service was spot on too. Smiling, attentive, friendly and just great. Dersou, I love you. I really do.

    Had the pancakes, ham, eggs and beans for brunch. Delicious. Place had a cool, hipster vibe. Concrete walls and very bobo patrons. Would definitely recommend. Didn't try the fusion food but it looked delicious from what I could tell by glancing at my neighbors plates.

Fully booked at precisely 10h00 three-weeks in advance, just as it has been for more than a decade, arrival at 80 Rue de Charonne finds the green-fronted bistro largely indistinguishable from those surrounding while an interior of concrete and wood is neither exciting nor particularly comfortable. At one point part of the "Bistronomy" movement, but now perhaps best considered a Micro-seasonal experience right down to its beverages, guests are invited to begin with Aperitifs well-suited to deeply flavored Onion Broth and signature Gougeres served piping hot with bold spicing. Served at a leisurely pace by educated servers, though not the sort prone to over-explaining, proper courses begin with puffy Bread alongside housemade Labneh and Milk-fed Lamb Tartare before progressing to a green Salad with Egg Yolk dressed in White Wine, Olive Oil, and Garlic. Next taking advantage of local winter Truffles, smartly sandwiched between caramelized Endive with Pears and hints of Wine, Bread is offered to sop up all the Sauce and replenished to do the same with Monkfish in complex Buillabaisse. Not a place where one is prone to go hungry, all portions substantial including a Potato Salad offered with the Fish, Dessert on this day saw classic Crème caramel spun earthy with Mushrooms and another generous shaving of Tuber melanosporum that played well the nearly-burnt Sugar.

Technically perfect cooking, a focused yet deep wine list & really warm, friendly service. Reservation is hard to come by but if you are willing to wake up at Paris time 10am with a 21 days in advance booking, you should be able to score a resy. Although for us in the US, 10am Paris time is middle of the night so could be challenging. Ambience is French countryside rustic - Didn't have to dress up, didn't have to wait for choreographed service or any of the nonsense that the low reviews seem to crave. Just a very good restaurant. Some of the pairings were super interesting and really transformed the dish. However, on the day of our service, some dishes (such as the grilled endive) was a bit of a let down. There was a wine that is intentionally oxidated, very daring pairing but I was not a fan. Would like to come back and give it one more try!

Years later I still think about how the staff of this restaurant abandoned me. I have come to believe this restaurant shouldn't exist, it is one of the worst restaurants in the world.

To severe the social contract between the diner and the staff is to lose every aspect that makes restaurants aesthetic temples; it desecrates any sense of beauty that they might have contained and gifted to the world.

The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with an energy that made the meal even better. I had a bottle of champagne, which was the ideal way to unwind before the next flight.

The owner even came over to check in, adding a personal touch to an already great experience. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you're a regular or just passing through. If you ever have a few hours in Paris, Le Servan is worth the stop. Great food, great champagne, and a perfect way to break up a travel day.

Some highlights: The amuse bouche course was incredible end-to-end, but what really stood out for me was a blue masa shell holding mussel, sauce, and microgreens/herbs/flowers. The mix of the different herbs, the savory salinity of the mussel, and the sauces was wonderfully complex, yet also harmonious. The poached sea trout with pumpkin and horseradish ice cream was very satisfying. The mix of poached trout and horseradish cream was very familiar, yet the twist of making the horseradish a wholly different temperature and texture was really surprising and innovative. The monkfish in adobo was another extraordinary dish. I have only had monkfish liver before, but the way they were able to perfectly cook the monkfish gave it a texture and flavor reminiscent of lobster. With the spice of the adobo, it was a really well balanced dish. Additionally, all of the wines that we tried were also notable and delicious. Frenchie has definitely earned its Michelin star, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has another by the next time I come back.

I had read about Frenchie in Food &…read moreWine magazine, and I finally had the opportunity to visit on my trip to Paris when I met up with a few friends for a pre-dinner glass of wine. The three of us were able to get a table around 7 PM (we didn't make a reservation). The ambiance is sophisticated yet laid back, and we were surrounded by a mix of locals and tourists. We decided to each order a glass of sparkling wine and a few small plates to share. The wine list was long while the food menu was quite short, but everything we ordered was delicious. Each dish provided a twist on classic appetizers - the gnocchi was served with an inventive "white cheddar foam," and the maple bacon biscuits struck the perfect balance of sweet and salty. We ended up lingering over our wine and enjoying the cozy ambiance longer than expected - a perfect way to spend a summer evening in Paris.

Hidden in an angle street of rue de la roquette, this place has a dozen wooden tables and benches. It is fully decorated by its wine bottles so you know what you step into. The owners are extremely friendly and passionate about the wines they serve, which they know perfectly. They go mostly for organic wines and have a preference for Languedoc reds which they find have a better quality/price ratio. There are a few wines from the other regions as well. In total, you'll find probably 50-80 wines on the menu, all deliberately chosen by the owner who will be happy to talk about them. This place is a mix between a wine shop and a restaurant: you can buy the bottles to go or drink it in the restaurant for an additional premium (6 or 8 euros, can't remember). The food is simple but good: charcuterie or cheese plates to share, some grilled meat or fish. Try the calamari and the burrata as appetizers, they're pretty good. All in all, you spend a great time in this place: you discover new wines and you eat some good food. This is a great place to bring a group of friends!

Awarded his second Michelin star in 2022, an accolade retained until now even as prices for the daily Tasting Menu have doubled from pre-pandemic, it is inside the simple green-awning space that guests will find a curved metal bar surrounding the kitchen where each plate is made from scratch at lunch and dinner. Booking just four diners for Wednesday lunch service, frankly unheard of for top-tables in Paris, a choice of seats was offered and after inquiring about allergies or intolerances the heavy-hitter Wine list was perused to the tune of three €40 glasses of 2018 Domaine Comtesse de Cherisey La Genelotte Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru. Eschewing all the luxuries of Alain Ducasse or Guy Savoy, though linens and high-quality stemware show Verjus understands what matters, it is while watching plates come together that guests are spoken to with warmth by staff who truly seem to value feedback. Starting with "Colours of the Day," varied Herbs and Vegetables lightly dressed amidst Bottarga, course two entails three bites from which an Oyster crowned by Kiwi proved to be one of the meal's highlights. A zealot for seasonal products, sliced White Asparagus allowed to shine in a buttery Sauce with smoke Roe, Verjus' time in Asia shows in lightly cooked Turbot bathing in a pool of Fish Soup brightened by Seaweed and hints of Soy. Priced on par with spots like Louis XV and Plénitude, a fact one cannot ignore when faced with a dish like "Moussestage" that is essentially Herb Soup, Gamba Roja with Uni beg question what the Green Star means since neither are local, though the dish and its follow-up Pigeon are both very good.
