    Leeks
    Mikaela Z.

    I'd probably give Drouant 3.5 stars. Started with the leeks and butternut squash soup. Leeks were good. Felt very French. The soup was good but it was very lukewarm when it arrived which diminished the taste. Had the mushroom ravioli (tortellini) and it was good. Not amazing, but solidly good. The sauce is broth. Also had the veal shank. I'd definitely skip this. Came out pretty rare/raw, and was very bland. Not worth it. The staff was very kind and attentive. But almost too attentive. Hovering a bit. But they were lovely. Their cocktail list is excellent. I'd go back to sit at the bar and get a drink but I probably wouldn't eat dinner there again. I'm not sure which dishes earned them the Michelin recognition, but I could've done without this visit.

    Quintessential Paris Bistro! Excellent food and an amazing atmosphere. The service was stretched but given the influx of affluent tourists that might not be totally unexpected. The seafood dishes were clearly the stars. Great experience. If you can get a reservation you should go, it is that simple.

    My fiancée brought me here to celebrate our engagement in Paris, and I was so proud of him (he knows how much good food means to me, and he did his research to find the perfect place!) Drouant is definitely upscale dining, and although our total bill came to around €245, it was worth the 5 stars and the experience! From coat check, to a sommelier providing perfect wine pairings, to a bread basket that was never empty, the service at Drouant alone earned it 5 stars. However, the food was also impeccable and I was so excited for the opportunity to have celebratory caviar (only €35!!!), whereas in the US it often costs $100+! I will also say that even though we ordered both appetizers and entrees, I appreciated that everything here is offered á la carte, because often restaurants in Paris will require a 2-3 course menu. By ordering a la carte, you can definitely save some money here and there--the most expensive part of our bill was the wine (€30 a glass, oof) but there are also cheaper options as well. For dinner, we started with the caviar (Baerii d'Aquitaine) which was a good "caviar for newbies" and the stracciatella cheese. For dinner, I was a bit disappointed because the night we visited, they were out of the linguine with blue lobster which I really wanted to try, but instead I opted for the risotto (piping hot and amazing flavor!) and my fiancée had the beef fillet (the black pepper sauce was incredible). By dessert, we were too stuffed to try anything--but I am sure they have some amazing options if the other food we had was any indicator of its quality! Overall, Drouant is absolutely worthy of its Michelin nods and a wonderful choice for a standout dinner experience.

    Very nice place, very French food. We had a limited menu for our large group but the food was very good.

    My husband and I chose to have our last dinner in Paris here. Everything tasted great. The sommelier provided amazing choices for our meal. The service was excellent. The ambiance was romantic. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because my husband didn't like his dish had a pile of spinach underneath. He wasn't aware it was going to be that much so he wasn't able to eat all of his dish. But what he did eat he enjoyed. We would go back to try other dishes if we visit Paris again.

    Presentation was great and ambience is very chic. Maybe we should have tried a third dish, but the vol au vent and sole that we ordered were only so so.

    Found this on trip advisor and yelp. Reviews were good. At one time it was even Michelin rated. Inside it's upscale, yet cozy and intimate. We had an appetizer, 2 entrees, and dessert. The foie gras was amazing. (I know it's inhumane and I'm going to hell but we were in Paris...). Entrees were the duck and fillet. GET THE DUCK! It was awesome. I'm from texas so I'm spoiled when it comes to beef. If you're from texas don't get the fillet it is tough for a fillet. ( plus they need to sharpen the steak knives). The flavor was good though. I wish the fries had more of a potato taste and not so thin and a little on the greasy side. Still though it was a great meal. And for dessert we got the millefeuille. My husband said the whole evening was worth it just to have that!

    The restaurant was very accommodating in hosting a large party with no reservations on last-minute notice. We were greeted with a settled welcome and a pleasant coat check-in service. Our group of fifteen was split into two tables but seated in the same room. Lights were deemed, and dinner service was promptly started. Overall, it was a joyful experience. Although the service suffered at times with a lack of attention, I attributed it to the circumstances around our last-minute reservation. Recommendations: Three meat Pate, Vol-au-Vent, Madeleine.

    Intron (lemon) tart -- best ever!

    Excellent 2nd arrondissement modern French restaurant great food and presentation, top notch service, in a very nice set of rooms. A little more expensive than a bistro, but worth it. My entrecôte was perfectly cooked, with a great green pepper sauce. The citron tart with sorbet was fantastic. We loved the "vin de France" viongier souillard white wine. Highly recommended.

    My husand and I were looking forward to come to this restaurant. We searched menu, studied course. Like many reviews said, caviar was good choice, and langoustine was fabulous. But Steak! Someone said "Get the duck!" We should have ordered duck. Steak doesn't have flavor as much as we expected like a steak house. And they do need sharper steak nife. But service was super delicate in a good way. We were satisfied. Oh and they have good wine list. We didn't need to spend thousands to pair wine. They did know how to handle wine.

    Fantastique!! Drouant is a beautiful, cozy restaurant located off Opera and is easily accessible by trains. Beautifully and tastefully decorated for the holidays. The restaurant was hopping upstairs with private parties and the restaurant was busy with customers. Despite being very busy, the staff was very attentive and hustling to accommodate everyone. The attention to quality and detail down to the flatware, glassware, and wine selection was impressive. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. The crispy langoustines and the raviole de homard (lobster) in a cognac reduction where delicious but I adored the risotto a la truffle. It was difficult to choose a dessert. The Paris Brest was recommended and it did not disappoint. Thank you for a fabulous evening! I will be back! www.Drouant.com

    We enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, the lamb shoulder, and the plat du jour (a kind of beef stew on Saturdays).

I wanted to taste authentic French Onion soup before leaving this beautiful country and we could not have selected a better place. The soup was, of course, the most delicious onion soup I have ever tasted and the duck breast and green beans which followed were equally amazing. My husband ordered the egg and duck confit appetizer which we were initially puzzled as to what to expect but it was DELISH! As was the duck Shepherd's Pie!

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.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

Making a reservation isn't hard but you do need to email them and there's no online booking system. You also have to confirm again 1-2 days before. I understand they are small with a limited number of tables so that's fair and it seemed like everyone showed up even though they don't require a deposit. On a Friday night, it didn't appear there was much chance or walking in although there were like 2 open seats at what would have been a shared table. The menu is small and includes some typical French starters, steaks, 3 non steak entrees, cheeses, and dessert. All steaks come with potatoes, 3 sauces, salad. Service was a highlight. The waiter was personable and funny, had solid recommendations, and made sure leftovers were taken home. Also had a solid wine recommendation after asking some questions. They probably get a lot of people who don't speak French and they had no problem speaking English. The food- ordered a ribeye medium rare. The steak was so so charred on the outside and it almost ruined the whole thing. I really wish they would have charred it way less especially when it was ordered medium rare. There is seared and then there is burnt; this was sadly the latter. The steak itself was fine, honestly nowhere near the best meat I have had but the price is quite reasonable for how much you get. I would say the steak was maybe 6/10 for me, largely due to the cooking. The fries were phenomenal. Definitely a highlight and really tasty and with a great texture. Salad was good, pretty typical. I wanted to like the sauces more but found them just okay. The best by far for me was the blue cheese sauce but even this one I thought the flavors could have popped a little more. Atmosphere was fun, there were a few bigger groups (6-8 which is the biggest they accommodate) but it never got unreasonably loud. Overall I wanted to love it but was a bit disappointed even though the service and fries were both great.

The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup.
