We came here to wait out the rain and have a drink. This restaurant is located steps away from the arc de triumphe. There is an inside area, but also a lot of outside seating space. We were quickly seated outside. It was perfect for people watching and taking in the heart of Paris. Flora Danica serves danish food. There was a lot of herring in the menu. I ordered a glass of wine and my husband had a couple cocktails. We shared the smoked salmon rillettes... it was like a salmon dip with dill and served with grilled bread. Prices are a little on the high end, but it's expected given the area. I thought the cocktails were worth the price too. And the food was good. The servers were nice and attentive. They probably would have let us hang out there all afternoon, but we wanted to walk around once the rain stopped. We saw one waiter tell a couple that they couldn't eat their McDonald's meal while seated in the Flora Danica area. I think it's pretty obvious that you shouldn't be bringing in and eating outside food... so don't be those annoying Americans haha. read more

After a good street hike along the Champs-Elysees, wanting a moment to sit down from the crowd of infinity. On this beautiful day the tables were packed outside and caffeine to-go was the go-to option. The line was long but service was hustling. Staff professionally dressed, friendly French greetings, delicious cafe pastries. Touristy but expected on Champs. read more

The best part was that this was right across the Arc De Triomphe. The ambiance was spot on. The menu had a lot to offer but we had just wine and Mule. Would have rated it higher but the service was a little slack for the crowd that was pouring in. Definitely visit this place how the ambiance. read more

We came from another country trying to have a good time .....and was the worst experience that we had in Paris going to this restaurant. The lady in the entrance was sweet and amigable but the waiter Po and the manager were the rudest ! I ask for something simple ...could you cook a little more the salmon, he reacted soooo bad ....!!!! Rude rude in top of that he waited my food to get cold to bring back it to the table ....!!! The manager didn't recognize what the lady that received us saw the rudeness bad manners and abuse from the waiter . Please don't go to this place !!! They don't like tourists . They discriminated us using racist manners. They don't like you they like only your money . Good luck . read more

My family and I sat outside. The view was nice, but the service wasn't great. The guy that served us was too rushed and was not polite maybe because we were Asians. The wait was long to order and to receive the food. The food was not bad, but the pasta was too plain. I ate too much raw salmon which gave me stomach pain. My wife says the matcha latte is amazing. I wouldn't recommend sitting outside, but you should reserve a spot inside for a fine dining experience. read more

Expensive for the quality nice atmosphere though. Great servers but cold food. Right on the main drag though

We came here for a sit down special lunch and received exceptional table service. Our server was extremely attentive to our needs. We tried various entrees on the menu and each one was served well. The hot-smoked salmon was definitely smoked and full of flavor but not overpowering. The chicken had a very nice rhubarb compote accompaniment, with nice mini potatoes as a side. The fillet of beef was a nice cut of meat and cooked as ordered, served on buttery mashed potatoes that the table fought over. Finally, the Flora Dansk platter had a lovely assortment of herring and salmon. The server took the time to go over each sample with a suggested order for tasting from sweet to salty. It was my second time here and I have not been disappointed; so it will definitely make my list for my next trip to Paris. read more

Great breakfast spot right by the arch the omelette was delicious not to busy in the mornings .

Located on Champ de Élysées, steps away from the arc, hence my nervousness that this place would have mediocre food and service because it's located in prime tourist heaven. However, it was cold and I needed a place to keep warm, thus I stopped here for dinner and coffee before my 9pm show at Lido Paris and found myself to be very please. Food: fresh and well seasoned. I find the price to be comparable to any other fine dining establishments. Service: extremely sweet and accommodating. read more

This was a charming little spot on the Champs-Élysées and we did it cafe style. The restaurant has specific hours but the patio menu is always available. They offer great wine and a limited menu filled with great dishes. I had the shrimp and quinoa and my friend ordered the salmon entree with Scandinavian potatoes that were simply delicious. The food was good and the weather was perfect. read more

It was beautiful restaurant in the middle of Champs Élysées! Love the atmosphere! A lot of greens and flowers. Our waiter was funny, very personable and gave us an excellent suggestion! Never had a Danish food before, but I'm a big fan now! Such a delicious seafood and excellent wine! As for a drink, I'd recommend you to try Akvavit (Dennis spirits), you can drink as much or as little from frozen chilled bottle, they will measure afterwards so you don't have to order a whole bottle. I really enjoyed it! Overall, if you like seafood, you wanted to be in the middle of famous Champs Élysées, this is the Perfect restaurant for you! read more

With our hotel nearby and only a couple of days to tour, my friend and I needed to feast because we were hoping to cover Champs Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Musée du Louvre, and more! It was surprisingly warm that day with the sun out and temperatures peaking at 70. We wanted to dine outside and embrace the air in the beautiful heart of the city. Flora Danica has the most appetizing menu of all restaurants within a 2 block radius. We sat down and were paired with a waitress fairly quickly. She chuckled at my - poor - attempt to order in French. I ordered the smoked salmon blinis and a bottle of rhubarb juice. The juice was brought out first and holy cow was it the best juice I've ever sipped in my life. Aside from the fact that the cold drink was refreshing, it was very calm and not too sweet. I wish I found it in the states! After a while, my brunch arrived. They serve brunch on weekdays, what?!?!?! Best idea ever! The smoked salmon was BRIGHT orange, like the ideal orange. I attached a picture to this review, which has no filter! It was so fresh and seasoned with a bit of olive oil and dil. Without a doubt the best smoked salmon ever! The Jew in me wanted to pair it with a bagel and cream cheese. Instead, I had the blinis. Growing up in a Georgian household, I thought that was their spelling of blintzes (crepes). Instead it was this thick pancake that engulfed much of a small plate. When I cut inside, it was soft and the dough poured out like a cream puff or stuffed pancake. It was the batter, actually. 2 months later and I can still taste it - soft like a warn pancake with a smooth inside. I was hit with a sweet-ish taste. Paired with the smoked salmon and honey mustard sauce that accompanied the dish sent me straight to cloud 9. My friend was in awe at how amazing the dish was and wished she ordered the same. The meal was inexpensive too, service was good, and the food was scrumptious! Very cute spot for a quick snack, glass of wine, or brunch, with a great view in both directions. If the weather permits, sit outdoors! read more

A wonderful experience, particularly the seafood dishes! I came here with my mom and my sister. We chanced upon the restaurant while walking down Champs Elysees. RESTAURANT: The front outdoor seating area blends with the other Parisian cafes lining the street; it had outdoor heating lamps and a casual style. However, once we walked past the bar, we were guided to an elegant, dimly-lit restaurant located in the back. It's styled in the beautiful, minimalist Nordic design with natural elements. Having recently been on a trip to Copenhagen, we joked that we felt that we were back in Denmark. SERVICE: We got there just as it opened for dinner, so we were seated quickly. Our waiter was excellent, and very attentive. He was very charming, and his fluent English was especially helpful when we were making our dinner choices. DRINKS: Upon request, our waiter recommended a light, fruity white wine to go with our seafood entrees. It was very good, indeed! A fresh bottle was opened for us, and he even poured a sample tasting for my mom who hadn't ordered a glass. So kind! FOOD: My three-person group ordered a la carte: one of the Grilled Salmon (27.50€) and two of the Roasted Cod (25.00€). For dessert, we split a Mille-Feuille (11.00€). I had the salmon, which was only grilled on one side. The skin was seasoned perfectly, and was wonderfully crisp. It contrasted nicely with the salmon, which was an excellent cut with just enough fat without being too rich. The meat was a gradient from grilled to semi-sashimi, since it was only grilled on one side. The grilled side allowed the meat to separate into nice pieces, while the softness of the semi-sashimi just helped the meat all the more MELT in your mouth. SO GOOD. Even better, it was complimented by roasted beets -- which I am already infatuated with on their own. The earthiness of the beets helped ground the fattiness of the salmon. It was really refreshing to go between the two. While the salmon and beets were plated together, the potatoes with cream were served in a separate bowl. This, too, was so delicious; so much so, I used my slices of complimentary bread** to soak up EVERY drop of the creamy sauce. While I can't speak as much in detail about the roasted cod with cauliflower which both of the people I ate with had, I can assure you they also throughly enjoyed the meal and finished every bite. As for the mille-feuille, I think it was a good dessert, but definitely not mindblowing as the main entrees were. But I might've just been stuffed by the time we got to the dessert. ** [[ small, but worth noting! ]] I really appreciated how our waiter kept on refilling our complimentary bread. Usually high-end restaurants like these only bring out their delicious, fluffy bread once (probs b/c it's so good), but Flora Danica was generous with their baguette slices! IN SUM: Highly recommend this place! It is pricey, but despite the average dessert, I do think the entrees were worth the price. Especially if you get the seafood -- the dishes we ordered were also coincidentally the same dishes that our waiter preferred, so I think its plausible that they're just amazing at making fish dishes, as most Nordic restaurants are. read more

Close to Arc de Triomphe within walking distance. You can see the Arc de Triomphe if you sit outdoor. We visited in Dec so there were many visitors (I guess there are always many visitors in Paris).. the service was kind of slow, but food tasted good with a decent variety. read more

I went to Flora Danica for lunch. I stood there a while not really knowing if someone is supposed to seat me or if I'm supposed to go in to order, and then sit with it. A waiter walked pass me TWICE, didn't say hello, or be with you in a moment, sit anywhere, he just IGNORED me completely. I waited a minute for the waiter to IGNORE ME AGAIN, and decided to walk in. I manage to communicate with a woman behind the counter who took my order... a sandwich, strawberry tart, and a cola. She said "for here or to go". I said "For here, but wrap the sandwich, I know I won't eat it all," and when she started to pour my drink in a glass, I said "I will just take the soda unopened." I paid for my items, I walk out, and pick a shady chair to sit and eat the sandwich I just bought inside. Well the waiter didn't take long to ignore me at this point, right away he walks over and says, "You cannot sit here. Sorry." I look at him and just gesture of the things I just bought inside. He says, "You got it 'to go,' ..so you cannot sit. Sorry." I was standing there waiting a few minutes to be seated and if you remember, the waiter completely IGNORED me. I just paid for food inside your store. Its too much sandwich for me to eat it all at once, so I had her just wrap it so I could sit and eat a little of it and then a little bit later eat the rest. If someone buys food at your shop they should be allowed to sit outside on your patio and eat it. I thought this was just BAD policy. He could have let it go especially after he did ignore me and missed the opportunity to seat me and get tipped. I would have loved to sit with a menu and properly dine and enjoy your French cuisine, but no one offered a menu to me, I had the impression I was to just point to the sandwich that was displayed, and ordered from the counter. Your waiters should be trained to acknowledge and welcome each person that walks into your patio seating area. The soggy fraises tart and dry sandwich was as terrible as the service. read more

Flora Danica - Bon Appetite! - Scandinavian Near Me - Paris, 75

Delicious Scandinavian restaurant, just nearby the Arc de Triomphe. They have different "atmospheres": you can either sit on the terrasse by the Champs Elysées, inside the main room, or in the inside garden which is super cozy and extremely quiet. I had diner there, and I did not felt like in town at all. As in most restaurants of this kind, service is impeccable and very attentive. And food... tasty, nicely presented: it was delicious! The only thing I'd recommend is that if you have huge appetite, it's not the most cost-effective place in Paris to satisfy your hunger ;) read more

TL:DR Not quite Danish food, and French "service". I am a Dane living in Paris, and I sometimes pine for food from home. So I have gone here a few times. While it's nice to get some regional specialities like the "frikadeller" (meatballs) and "marineret sild" (pickled herring), they don't get it quite right (no sourdough black rye bread), and too often the service is... pretty French. By "pretty French" - especially on Champs Elysee - I mean, spotty English, odd hours and service, and sometimes plain rudeness. Other times you can get lucky and everything is great, but it's really pretty random. The French it seems always have a system that they expect you to both know and respect, but it's never the same system in two places, and often seems like it's not even the same system in the same place twice :D After the last visit earlier today, I have to say that even though I miss my ancestral foods terribly, I don't think I will be coming back. read more

Loved it. Great coffee, great service and moderate prices (cheaper than anything nearby). Service is good, they're quick,polite and do speak english. If you need to use a toilette,which is extremely clean ask waiters for direction or you'll get lost. read more

Being danish and living in the US it's rare we get to enjoy a Danish meal. Our hotel was close to the restaurant so we wanted to give it a try and we are so happy we did. Food was delicious. The waiter forgot my drink but was forgiven as he was kind enough to charge my phone. read more

'Flora Danica' is the non-Parisian coffee shop in the center of the Champs-Elysées. In simpler terms: the coffee shop is the exact opposite of what one would imagine a posh Parisian coffee shop to be; clean-cut and cold modern styling (aluminum and stone), ready-to-eat sandwiches, weak coffee and apathetic service. Not recommended. read more

If you are American, STAY AWAY. We stopped in for coffee, some water, and a meal on our way down the Champs Elysees and they gave us our check and ushered us out the door as soon as we ordered coffee. We figured we were going to have to deal with inflated prices due to the venue, but normally the quality of the meal is justified. Advice: go a few blocks east or west and save yourself the trouble. read more

Not a cheap place, but it's very relaxing and great for people watching. It's selection of wine and beer is not big but they are all decent choices. Their steak tartare alone would have earned 4 stars. The meat was fresh and coarsely chopped. Personally I prefer the texture of coarsely chopped tartare way more than the minced kind. There were also shiso, cranberries, some crispy black looking thing (not sure if it's seaweed), small potato chips, mustard, etc. mixed with the beef, which created a very unique experience for the dish. Another pleasant surprise is the butter lettuce that came with the tartare. It was so fresh and tender, seasoned with a bit of olive oil. Love it! I'm taking a star off because we got charged 20% more for the steak tartare than it said on the menu. We asked our server, he apologized, but we still got charged more. I'm fine with the price but find this practice very shady. We can't be the only one ordering steak tartare. The fact that they kept the menu at a lower price to attract people and charge them higher is not appreciated. read more

This was my second time eating here. We shared the herring sampler for an appetizer and it was delicious. For entrees we had the chicken, salmon and sea bass, they were all really good. The side of potatoes that come with the salmon were so good. We shared the Mille fuille and one person got the coffee with mini desserts. We shared a bottle of the Chablis, which was very good. read more

For a place that's so centrally located right in the middle of Champs Elysee, I really expected better. I went to meet my parents because they were drinking coffee here and before I even sat down, this man asks what I would like to order. I said I just wanted to talk to my parents but he said that I couldn't sit there unless I ordered something. I was only going to sit for 5 minutes but the man started giving me attitude and explaining to me how much they have to pay for rent WTF??? Because I didn't want to argue any longer with their rules I ordered an ice cream with a tart, which is a combination item. Just this simple item took them ages to prepare and at the time there were only about two other tables who were just there for drinks. I didn't understand what was taking so long because I already saw the tart in the frigde and the ice cream just needed to be scooped. So then I asked for it to-go because we were in a hurry to leave. The man then comes back with a bag that just had my tart in it. When I asked where my ice cream was he said that because I asked for it to-go, it no longer comes with ice cream.....A;LSDKHFADSJF What kind of BS is that?? By then I was FURIOUS because we had already paid for the bill and this ice cream tart combination was 12 Euros which didn't even come with the ice cream!!! I don't understand what's so hard about putting ice cream in a box because the tart came in a box. I kept arguing with him and he just continued to give me attitude back. WHAT KIND OF CRAPPY SERVICE IS THAT?? So then I went inside to look for their manager and spoke to another guy about my situation and he replied that they can't serve the ice cream. It eventually turned into we don't have ice cream and all this other BS. All the staff that I talked to just kept giving me attitude and didn't do anything about my paid for inexistent ice cream. My family was in a hurry so we just had to leave or else I would've given them a piece of my mind. Overall this is what happened: I paid 12 Euros to sit for 5 minutes on the street of Champs Elysee and got an old tart WITHOUT ice cream while being given extremely BAD ATTITUDE. I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN. read more

Very good restaurant. They have an amazing quiet guarden. Go there if you want to relax and stay away from the crowd for a moment.

if you are in for great Salmon you should come here. I have been here twice and the fish is phenomenal. Great service not too busy. Their bread selection is also great and it is served with Salmon spread. Pricey yes but for good piece of fish I say go for it read more

Absolutely awful service, rude staff and very overpriced.. Not even worth that one star but it won't let me do none. Me and my friend went here for a little break from walking around at it was 28 euros for two virgin mojitos! There was only one member of staff who was extremely rude and when we asked another member of staff to get the bill for us he said 'he does that' and pointed to another man when he wasn't doing anything amd the card machine was right next to him. read more
