We went to Frenchie on a recent trip to Paris and London and it was undoubtedly the culinary highlight. The food is expertly prepared, incredibly flavorful, and boldly creative. 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. read more

Tucked away in an alley, I almost walked right past Frenchie. I had read about Frenchie in Food & Wine 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. read more

October 19, 2025; 2130 seating Our dinner at Frenchie was, without exaggeration, one of the finest meals I've ever had. Every dish was beautifully composed, the ingredients impeccable, and the pacing and service, at least at first, seamless. From a culinary standpoint, the restaurant deserves its acclaim. However, what should have been a celebratory and joyful evening for my husband's birthday ended with genuine disappointment. I had noted the celebration repeatedly, through the reservation form, the confirmation email, and even correcting the automated system when it inexplicably defaulted to "female birthday." Despite this, there was no acknowledgment of the occasion whatsoever. As other tables received warm recognition for their celebrations, ours was quietly overlooked. When I gently raised this at the end of the evening, the maître d' said there had been "no note" and offered neither apology nor gesture. For a restaurant so careful in every other respect, the indifference felt personal. It left us wondering whether the issue was simple disorganization, or a lack of comfort in celebrating a same-sex couple. In a city celebrated for its hospitality and inclusivity, that feeling cast a shadow over what had otherwise been a spectacular meal. Frenchie's kitchen operates at the very highest level, but empathy and attentiveness are part of hospitality too. ---- Notre dîner chez Frenchie a été, sans exagération, l'un des meilleurs repas que j'aie jamais vécus. Chaque plat était magnifiquement composé, les ingrédients impeccables, et le rythme du service -- du moins au début -- parfaitement maîtrisé. Sur le plan culinaire, le restaurant mérite pleinement sa réputation. Cependant, ce qui devait être une soirée de célébration et de joie pour l'anniversaire de mon mari s'est terminé sur une véritable déception. J'avais précisé à plusieurs reprises qu'il s'agissait d'un anniversaire -- dans le formulaire de réservation, dans l'email de confirmation, et même en corrigeant le système automatisé qui indiquait par défaut " anniversaire féminin ". Malgré cela, aucune attention n'a été portée à cette occasion. Alors que d'autres tables recevaient de chaleureuses attentions pour leurs célébrations, la nôtre a été complètement ignorée. Lorsque je l'ai signalé poliment à la fin du repas, la maîtresse d'hôtel m'a simplement répondu qu'elle n'avait reçu aucune note, sans présenter d'excuse ni proposer un geste. Pour un établissement aussi attentif à chaque détail, cette indifférence a semblé personnelle. Nous nous sommes demandé s'il s'agissait d'un simple oubli -- ou d'un manque de confort à célébrer un couple homosexuel. Dans une ville reconnue pour son hospitalité et son ouverture, ce sentiment a jeté une ombre sur un repas autrement remarquable. La cuisine de Frenchie atteint des sommets, mais l'empathie et l'attention font aussi partie de l'art de recevoir. read more

Went with a party of two and tried the tasting menu with the higher end wine pairing at the later seating. Cozy restaurant. Service was on point and so was the food and wine. The only dish we didn't love was the dessert which was inspired by orange. read more

IF you happen to be traveling to Paris, do yourself the biggest favor and reserve a seat at Frenchie. Reservations are a must as it books quickly, so get one once it becomes available. The restaurant itself is small and intimate with staff readily available, present and there for whatever you may need. With each dish, they explain exactly what you'll be eating, how it is prepared, and even thought behind the dish Speaking of the dishes, there is no set menu, so you won't know what you're getting prior to arrival. You won't even know when you're sitting down. You aren't able to order individual items, it is a pre-fixe menu determined by the chef on that day, so each day may be a completely different meal. You'll know what you're eating when it arrives at the table and the server explains it to you. Rest assured, each dish is well thought out, from the textures on each bite to the flavor profiles melding together in your mouth. Even the difference in temperature of different items on the plate pairing together in the mouth and how that plays it with the complexity of each bite. It's just so very good, something to savor with each course. Such a wonderful meal, phenomenal chef and amazing experience. Definitely a must try when in Paris read more

Really nice ambience.. nice, casual, yet upscale feel. We sat at the bar so could see all of the intricate food prep! All of the dishes were beautifully presented & tasted great. They even offered gluten free bread to my friend who has a gluten intolerance. Great service, great food, great ambience.. what more do you need?! To get a reservation you need to be on their site right at 10 am (Paris time) 3 weeks in advance. read more

Made a reservation online about three weeks out and came for dinner in August 2023. Won't go too much into detail because the menu rotates, but the 5-course tasting was excellent - everything was super creative, flavorful and fun. A standout was the rosemary sorbet interlude, as well as the chicken course. Service was great, but didn't love that they started herding us out of there the second dessert hit the table so they could prepare for the next seating (we were part of the earlier one). We headed across the street to their wine bar where we happily kept the night going, but the end of the tasting was definitely a little abrupt. 4.5 stars. read more

Situated on the quaint street of Rue de Nil, this is a hard Resy to get. If you're lucky enough to snag one, I recommend taking it. Leave some time to browse the street which is a cooperative of butcher, fromagerie, bakery, wine shop, chocolate store etc. and don't skip purchasing some treats at Plaq! I had extraordinary expectations of this place and for the most part, it delivered. It is an understatement to say the space is tiny. We had a nice table by the window/front door which gave us a view of the kitchen. The service is lovely and aims to please. Be forewarned that Frenchie designs a unique prix fixe menu at $140Euro per person. They can accommodate allergens but there is no choice of menu. We did one wine pairing to split between the two of us. The amuse bouche was essentially an entire course...they provide three composed plated bites. The mussel was the highlight. We then had an asparagus entree which was good, but not amazing. The sorbet accompaniment was delicious. The tuna course was also quite good and very pretty on the plate. The fish plat (John Dory) was nice, but the supplemental caviar didn't really add the salt and texture I was hoping for. What was not featured in the pictures below was a second plat (main) which was brand new to the menu-only 2 days old. It was a chicken two ways-tiny piece of breast with skin on and a fried ball of chicken confit. It looked a bit clunky on the plate and the flavors didn't work for me. The breast was rubbery and pink inside. We did bring it to their attention. The fried confit was just too fatty and rich for me. They appreciated the feedback when offered. The desserts were wonderful to say the least. The wine pairing was so thoughtful and the woman explaining the pairing was terrific. Save for the misstep of the new chicken dish, Frenchie is a great spot. It is a nice intimate experience and they clearly aim to change up the experience frequently. read more

You've heard things about this place. Dirty, dirty things. And those rumors were very well founded. This place ends up doing things to you that you've never experienced in your life: easily one of the best dining experiences you've ever had. This place only does a tasting menu: 5 courses, but you know right away that was a fucking lie. Amuse Bouche: a trio. A "bao" of Roquefort cheese and a sour cherry, a mini tart of apple and celery, and a prepared oyster with cauliflower espuma (foam). Your mouth is very amused. Course #1. Foie Gras with bok choy, snow pea, charred broccoli, and blood orange segements. The richness of the foie perfectly balanced by the vegetables. A great start. The rustic white with orange rind in it helps bring this all together. Course #2. Langostino tortellini with citrus and a langostino broth. Your mind is reeling from how perfectly prepared and perfectly balanced this dish is. You lick the last drops of broth off of your mistress' boot. The 2010 white wine paired with this exquisite. Course #3. Scallops with a purée of kale and a coffee vinegar. (Side note: the coffe used was the same coffee mentioned in Coffee Porn #5). The scallop is perfectly firm yet soft in your mouth. The balance struck between kale and coffee is mind boggling. The Grand Cru Riesling from Alsace finished with notes of ginger at the end? Phenomenal. Course #4. Lamb 2 ways: A mini lamb loin on the bone and a lamb tenderloin stuffed with nuts and citrus finished with a lamb jus. The Syrah paired with the lamb beautifully. Secret Course #1: mini pita with braised lamb and crema. Arguably better than the amazing lamb dish you just had. Secret Course #2: cheese course. Specifically, a triple cream brie with apple and a Brie foam with pomegranate seeds. Incredibly inventive and successful way to serve cheese. Course #5. Chocolate cake with an avocado cream and mango tuiles. The chocolate: dark and rich. The avocado breaks up the richness while the mango's sharpness balances the whole thing. Secret Course #3. Apricot gelée candy piece, chocolate caramel chew, and chocolate piece. You knew these sneaky fuckers weren't sticking to 5 courses. This meal was the perfect balance of excellent service, perfectly prepared and executed food, and the perfect amount of food. Truly one of the greatest meals had by anyone. read more

We had a shockingly disappointing meal at Frenchie in early August. Two of the three amuse bouche were delicious, but everything else ranged from mediocre to downright poor. Fishy fish, misguided desserts (containing vegetables!) As I looked around the restaurant I saw other people making faces. Perhaps the chef was trying out a new menu? If so, we were the unfortunate victims. It even felt like the staff knew there was a problem. They kept asking if we liked the dishes. Servers were very nice but service was uneven. My wine glass was taken before it was empty. My son's (very) dirty napkin was picked up, pieces of food were shaken onto the floor and it was refolded and placed on the table, instead of the server bringing a new one. Our meal was expensive and missed the mark so completely that we felt a bit stunned. I hope Michelin will revisit their rating, and for everyone else... Paris is full of amazing restaurants. Frenchie is not among them. read more

Frenchie Restaurant just completely changed my perspective of the French way of fine dinning in Paris. This place is cozy and servers were all very friendly, all with a real smile on their face. All the dishes were exceptional, ingredients are to the freshiest, combined with the premium wine pairings made my friend cried over the dinner table. The dishes bought us to a different level of tastefulness. Tough to secure a table online, reservations opened up 3 weeks in advance. A must go fine dinning spot in Paris! read more

Frenchie - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Wow, what a culinary delight. Frenchie is a very small restaurant located in an alley filled with chef Gregory Marchand establishments (wine bar, more casual FTG). The restaurant has a very warm, intimate, and almost homey-like ambiance that's not common of most Michelin-rated restaurants. Frenchie takes a more casual approach to fine dining, making the very elevated course meal feel more approachable. We were blown away by the service (employees all seemed so genuinely committed to providing the best experience) and every single course that came out. Starting with the amuse bouche that was visually impressive but also tasted unique and delicious, every single course was a visual work of art but equally matched in flavor and execution. Appreciated the introduction and use of some unique techniques and flavors/pairings and the entire meal was a delightful journey. read more

This is a Michelin rated restaurant. Each food item is a work of art with bold flavors. The chef takes time on presentation and the wine pairing menu. Affordable for someone looking to splurge a little on a date night. I want a huge fan of the ambiance. For such a small place I didn't feel transported or understand the theme. As much as I enjoyed the food, many items didn't seem incredibly memorable to come again. Definitely a try once kind of place for me. read more

Had an amazing dinner at Frenchie in France everything about it was just right. The place has a really warm and inviting feel, but still manages to feel special and a bit elevated. The food was incredible every dish was full of flavor and beautifully done without being over the top. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Honestly, the best part was seeing how happy my girlfriend was the whole time. We left full, smiling, and already talking about coming back someday. Big thanks to the team at Frenchie for a night we'll definitely remember. read more

This was my favorite meal while vacationing in France with my husband. The chef visited all the tables before dinner began and he was most down-to-earth, sweet man. You could tell he cared a lot about his patrons' experience and was so glad he was a cool dude. We had an array of unique dishes, many with ingredients we normally would avoid. We ate everything and loved every bite. The sommelier was also super cool and I loved the wine pairings she recommended. I can't recall the details of every dish we had and appreciate that the menu changes based on seasonality and availability. The entire course flowed perfectly and I loved the surprises by a lot of the dishes. I prefer 1 michelin star restaurants because they don't go overboard with the dining experience and am glad this place didn't either. There are definitely unique and innovative creations coming out of this kitchen, but nothing that will leave your stomach unsettled. The restaurant is hard to find so allow extra time to get there. With all the michelin starred restaurants in Paris, I'm so glad we chose a solid one! Thank you French for a beautiful meal. read more

So very disappointed with this meal. I've been looking forward to going here forever and was excited to get a reservation. The real let down was the food. The wine pairing was great. Service was great. Ambiance was ok. It is apparent that the chefs have great skill and the playing was beautiful, but the dishes were terrible. There wasn't a single one that was memorable or delicious. Started with some amuse. The razor clam with cauliflower and lemon confit were ok. There was a tartar with maybe some truffle oil that was ok. Then a tartlet with pineapple that I don't know what they were trying to do. Next course was shrimp with squash in several forms. I believe the shrimp was raw or just well under cooked. It tasted a little fishy and none of the sauces were memorable. There was an ice cream made with the shrimp insides and squash that just tasted muddy and a squash puree that was one note. The tobiko and finger lime did not add enough acid and salt to make it interesting. Next dish was a mushroom ravioli, with a well seared king mushroom and a mushroom broth with sage oil. This was one of the better dishes, but that's not saying a lot. The filling was mushroom and tamarind and still very muted with the flavor. The broth was nice and the sear mushroom was good. The other elements were nothing noteworthy. The fish dish was next with a monk fish covered in spices and seared on a grill, treated like steak. I really just wanted a well cooked fish (not a reference to the temp but just a flakey fish). and got more of a medium rare dish. Again the sauces and accompaniments on the plate were not note worthy. The stuffed cabbage leaf was very fishy and the crisp kale is the only thing that saved it. Was not happy with this. The poultry dish was probably the best dish of the night. The rich chicken jus with foie was excellent. There was a chicken terrine that was excellent and a celery and bell pepper millie fuille was good. The sauce here is what was missing on all the other dishes, something rich with umami that made you want to lick the plate or ask for more. Dessert was ok with a vermouth theme throughout. It was paired very well with a vermouth drink and a small foamy cup that was a take on a Negroni. The grapes and grape sorbet were rich and the mascarpone with vermouth jelly was good as well. Overall I'm super disappointed. The accompaniments to the dishes were all very muted. Almost none of the sauces stood out. There was no one dish that I would ever come back for. Given the cost of the meal this is probably the worst Michelin star experience I've ever had. Everything around the food was fantastic, but I'm here for the dishes. Frenchie obviously has a great reputation and I has expanded well in its little area. I'm guessing I had an off night for the food as the service and wine was excellent. Will not be coming back and will tell people to avoid. I never write reviews, but this experience was terrible enough to warrant one. read more

Frenchie is tucked away on a lovely and bustling little side street which is also home to the restaurant's two other related places. They serve a multi-course "blind" tasting menu, a concept that I enjoy. We had the five course tasting plus wine flights. The atmosphere was a bit casual for the food and prices but still vibrant and enjoyable. The food was creative and very good as one would expect of a restaurant with a Michelin star. Flavors were interesting, and presentations were attractive yet managed not to be too delicate. At the end of the meal however there was a big negative that results in the rating I am giving Frenchie, and makes me unfortunately cast this place in to the "tourist trap" bin. When I was given the payment device it offered me the option of 15 and 20% gratuities. I had not seen this in Paris before and asked the server if service was not included and she told me "it was not". A bit confused by this, I added a 20% tip (over 100 Euros). The next day, I asked a Parisian friend about this and he told me it was just a ploy by unsavory restaurants to get more money out of North American tourists. For that reason, I will not return to Frenchie. read more

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant and my review may be an unpopular opinion but wanted to share to help guide others when deciding between the numerous dining options while in Paris. (This was our first dinner when we landed in Paris.) First, the food - the execution on some of the dishes were a miss. I abide by the 3 strikes rule of thumb when visiting a "fine dining" restaurant, and this restaurant struck out. Strike 1 - there was a tendril of hair in my partner's first dish (my partner didn't mind - it was very small and relatively on the outer sauced portion of the dish and we didn't bring it to our server's attention). Strike 2 - there was a bone in my partner's fish dish. Again, a minor blip and we didn't mention it to our server. Strike 3 - in the same fish dish in which there was a bone missed on my partner's plate, parts of my fish were undercooked or raw. This we did bring to our server's attention, and she said it was supposed to be cooked this way. (Photo included.) That being said, all of the dishes were delicious. The service was friendly and serviceable. However, there was a rather awkward moment at the end of our meal when it came to pay which put a damper on an already underwhelming experience. While handing us the electronic tablet to pay, the server let us know that, while tip was not expected and we were not obligated, we had the option of leaving a tip. The server then stood by as we selected an option. From my recollection, the options on the tablet ranged in percentages, e.g., 10, 15, etc. Our understanding was that France already has a 15% service charge bill built into the restaurant prices - btw, we did leave a tip - and this was confirmed by the subsequent restaurants we went to. (FYI, none of the other restaurants we visited had a tip option on their tablets - and one 3-starred Michelin restaurant we went to subsequently confirmed that no French restaurant should ask for a tip because service charge is built in.) When we went during dinner service, all the tables / customers were American, so I can't say whether tip is only asked of from non-natives. It could be that we visited on an off night. But there's no shortage of great restaurants in Paris and based on our first visit here, I think trying out another restaurant in this price range would be a more enjoyable dining experience. read more

We came here for a date night while we were in Paris, and had an absolutely amazing dinner. As you probably know, this is a pre fixe only restaurant, but they have across the street an area where you can get wine and snacks. We did the main restaurant, the prefix menu. It is a five course meal with an additional two or three courses that are not counted as part of the five. You can do a basic wine pairing for €70 or an elite wine pairing for 115. We opted for the higher level and we did not regret it. The meal itself was €140 per person, and honestly was worth every penny. The five courses were a scallop dish, a vegetable ravioli, a skate fish, a rabbit, and a kiwi dessert. The service, as you can, imagine, was absolutely stellar. The staff were kind, spoke perfect English, and super helpful. The entire meal took just over two hours and was absolutely an incredibly enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this for a nice dinner out if you are in Paris. read more

Réservations are a MUST! We booked 3 weeks to the day when that day was opened. Had the second seating so we went across the street for a couple of glasses of champagne before we were seated. The tasting menu rotates seasonally so I wont go into the dishes but each dish was prepared superbly. We did the accompanying wine pairs and it was all excellent. Definitely fine dining with a bit more casual atmosphere. This was our favorite dinner of the trip. read more

Absolute perfection! Top 3 meals of my life. There is a lot of hype around Frenchie so I was overjoyed to get a reservation for dinner during our trip to Paris. Reservations open three weeks ahead of time and are necessary - the place is very small and intimate. It's a chef-tasting menu and I ended up getting the wine pairing to go with it. I was impressed not only by the flavors but the attention to detail in every dish that came out. One of my favorite dishes was presented on a plate of fall leaves and rocks. On top are two crackers in the shape of a leaf with dots of aioli and smoked/cured eel. It was nothing like I'd ever tasted before - the smoky eel flavor with the creaminess of the aioli was a perfect blend. It's one of those bites that you want to ask for more and more of. That's how I felt about all the dishes. Fresh farm veggies with ice cream on top. White fish with a mushroom mouse. The meal was outstanding, creative, and detailed. If you can get a reservation you should definitely go! I will be thinking about this meal until I go back to Paris and visit Frenchie again! read more

Dining in Paris presented a rare opportunity for easy access to Michelin starred restaurants. With over 90 One-Star Michelin restaurants to choose from, it was hard deciding which ones to check out during the 3 nights we were in Paris. Frenchie consistently popped up as one of the must-try restaurants in Paris, so I made sure to log in at 5PM Chicago time 3 weeks out to snag a reservation. Location/Ambiance: Frenchie is located in a small cobblestone street just off main road. Chef Marchand has pretty much made Rue du Nil his own personal alley with Frenchie, Frenchie To Go, Frenchie Wine Store, and Frenchie Wine Bar all located in a small cluster together. The inside is small and intimate and can fit maybe 20 people during each dinner session. The entire night there were walk-ins who were disappointed to find out Frenchie was essentially reservation-only and it was completely booked for the night. Food: They only offered a Chef's Tasting Menu, with no items available a la carte. Dinner consisted of about 5 courses, and was paced out to be around 2 hours long. You can choose from either thee 6:30PM or 9PM sessions. Dinner was 125eu per person, with an additional 60eu if you wanted the introductory level wine pairing. My wife and I have previously experienced tasting menus at Michelin starred restaurants, but we are by no means regulars in the fine dining scene. One of my favorite aspects of a tasting menu is to see how Chefs can take food that I typically wouldn't choose to eat on my own, and then transform the flavors into something that a pickier eater like myself is blown away by. There are a lot of Japanese/French fusion Michelin restaurants in Paris, but Frenchie leaned more toward modern French cuisine. All the course seemed to be seasonally ingredient-driven and cultivated some strong flavors from simple ingredients. One of my favorite bites of the night was the first one, where a piece of smoked eel literally tasted like a bacon flavor bomb to me. All the dishes did focus a little more toward vegetables, and I wish they did a red meat dish rather than chicken, but otherwise everything they served still tasted great. Additionally, I thought they did a great job with the wine pairings. Each pairing truly did resemble/complement the flavors of the course being served. Amuse Bouche Smoked eel with aioli over lattice crisp Peanut butter marshmallow Buckwheat tart with hazelnut, stilton cheese, mango Appetizer #1 Seasonal vegetables with Japanese mandarin, aloe Vera, smoked goat cheese, hazelnut ice cream Appetizer #2 Tart of charred leeks topped with sardines; onion butter sabayon with smoked herring eggs Main #1 John Dory fish with porcini mushroom 3 ways: sliced, emulsified, and foamed; beet root rose, lemon and black currant dollops.

It was a fantastic dinner at a great price when compared to the one-Michelin star restaurants we have in Chicago. read more

Michelin starred. Reservations weeks in advance is absolutely necessary to dine at an establishment like this. My second time here. Very sophisticated vibe here. It's chef's choice for each course, with timed reservation seatings. Soup, fish, duck were the main stars. Flavors are intensely amazing. Wine here is also excellent, and the sommelier is an awesome guy. Would visit this place every time I'm in Paris. read more

Here's the DL: first time in Paris, never thought much of French food = had very low expectations since all I was looking forward to was croissants in all shapes and forms. FRENCHIE though.. blew my mind away. Our party of three was actually waiting for a table at the wine bar across. We must have been waiting for at least 20 minutes when our host approached us to let us know there was a cancellation at Frenchie and asked if we'd like to be seated there. Being noobs, we all said no. But our bartender told us "we better jump on these seats ASAP since the restaurant is ALWAYS fully booked". So we did. And it didn't disappoint. Our waitress was super friendly. I let her know of my dairy and blackberry allergies (which was a good choice since about half the meal came with either or both), and the chef was super accommodating. In fact I think I liked my options more than I liked what the actual menu was supposed to be like.... haha! Since Frenchie's concept is of a secret menu, I can't write too much about it besides don't walk, RUN, to make reservations for this restaurant and expect one of the most incredible dining experiences of your lifetime. P.S. If you can't get a reservation at Frenchie, at least go to the wine bar and get the falafels. And rose. read more

Casual but super nice. Food is amazing. Service is friendly. Just go. You won't regret it.

The absolute best dining experience we had in Paris.... Only con was they give you way too much food... if that even is a negative. Probably not for most people but I felt guilty not finishing each dish and by the end of it I was ready to explode... also wanted to finish everything because it was delicious. There really isn't a point in describing what we were served because it's a blind tasting and it changes all the time. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for anyone but I do have to say everything was super delicious with surprising combos and ingredients I had never heard of. It wasn't overly molecular gastronomy but there were subtle touches that added to the dishes and enhanced the experience. Can't wait to go back! Also the wine pairing was spectacular! Loved every second of this meal, the service, and the staff. read more

One of our absolute favorites. We've been to the London location a bunch of times, but this was my first time in Paris, and it didn't disappoint. We got the ricotta cavatelli, roasted pollock, and a cheese plate, all of which were fantastic, as were the other small bites we got (melon soup, bacon scones, croquettes, and their amazing bread). Probably not worth getting too deep on any of the dishes since the menu changes so much, but these lived up to the others we've had in the past. We also had a little bit of a snafu with payment (which was no more their fault than ours) and they brought us a chocolate cake/mousse dish that was also amazing. Such a great choice, regardless of whether you're in London or Paris. read more

I have wanted to go to Frenchie for years. I finally snagged a reservation and this was the #1 restaurant I was the most excited to visit. We only ate at Michelin restaurants for the 11 days we were there and as the days went on, this one went farther down the list. Unfortunately for us, it offers just an OK experience. While the ambiance is charming and the service is generally attentive, the food falls short of expectations. We were rushed in and rushed out with no time to linger. The menu lacks creativity and the execution of dishes is inconsistent. Some items were enjoyable, but others are underwhelming or downright inedible. My daughter and I couldn't even finish the kiwi desert. Additionally, the prices are steep considering the overall experience. Overall, Frenchie is an okay choice for a meal in Paris, but there are way better options available in the city and I will never be back. read more
