Arrived in the early evening, walked into a space with exposed stone and rustic beams, and warm, yellow lighting. Wait staff is youngish and maybe a bit inexperienced, but eager to please. As soon as the crunchy little amuse bouche met my mouth, my mouth was definitely amused. Omigod, it had everything--salt, sweet, fat, melty, crispy. I knew from that bite it would be a meal to remember. The menu changes seasonally (as it should) so my review may be of dishes that are no longer served. I started with parsnip soup (Veloute de panais), beautifully presented, and both comforting and elevating. The vegetal creaminess was expected, the depth of flavor and pistachios were a surprise. My main plate was Beef Cheeks (Joue de boeuf), and it was perhaps more straightforward than the other dishes--the beef was quintessentially French, rich with concentrated umami like in a beef stew. The accompanying vegetables were simple and perfect. For dessert, I had white chocolate cream with passion fruit. So lovely. Not overly sweet, and again, beautifully presented. I had a lot of great meals in Marais on this trip, but this was hands down incroyable. The price wasn't too crazy--maybe I'm just used to Boston prices for subpar food. Makes me sad to come back. read more

The food, the atmosphere, the service was all great. A nicely paced meal in the evening. We started the meal with a delightful Amuse-bouche cool and refreshing. Then we selected multiple appetizers to start: Leon Beef Cacina and Langostino Carpaccio both were divine. Then we had entrees of Beef Tartare and Sea Bass which were generous portions and delicious. Last course was tiramisu and white chocolate sorbet with passion fruit coulis. Great meal. Merci Beaucoup! read more

Everything we tried was good - enough said. The dishes consisted of a creative take on classic French. Smoked rosemary into ice cream? The best potato au gratin ever tasted? Even the olive oil for the bread is amazingly unique? You'll find it here. Fresh dishes were bright and hearty dishes had deep tastes. The menu isn't overly expensive so there's a concentration on the offerings. Service is on point and the setting is romantic chic but warm. Definitely try this! read more

Arrived for a late brunch and they really did not disappoint! The pumpkin ravioli is one of the best things I've ever eaten, and I was SHARING it! The cream was inspiring! Not super creamy but still a strong cheese flavor, hoping I can recreate something like this at home. The fois gras and fish dish also were exceptional, I'm just never forgetting the ravioli. read more

Lovely little restaurant with an adorable patio. Major Parisian vibes here. The server was helpful and offered a decanter when we thought our wine was a bit tight -- the Fleurie then opened up and was great. I had a fantastic duck dish, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. read more

Hidden gem. Tucked off the street in a courtyard. Dance school all around it do you hear the music. Restaurant outside and inside is so pretty. Food was amazing. Had fresh catch carpaccio was outstanding. Oysters came with an amazing sour cream sauce like something I've never tasted. Skip the artichoke appetizer. Didn't care for it. Drinks were also great. Definitely recommend it. read more

We were told to come here by a friend. Oh Wow! The place was amazingly rich with history and beauty. We were greeted warmly and sat the the primo window spot. Julian the general manager was so warm and helpful. He had a custom veggie dish for us made to perfection. Tell him Jason and Daphne from USA sent you. Wine was ice cold and so tasty. The chocolate tart was so good. Gotta try the other dishes tomorrow too full now read more

Delicious restaurant in the 4eme. Service is friendly and accommodating, but ALWAYS slow. It starts off strong, and then slowly weakens as you move through the meal. I took my parents here for a lovely dinner, and it quickly became one of their favorites due to the food and ambiance. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating (when the weather is nice)...they interior is beyond charming, while remaining stylish, so I would recommend sitting inside. With the above said, I'd likely recommend it for a casual upscale lunch over instead of dinner. The interior is very dimly lit at night, but flooded with natural light during the day. 1) They start you off with some delicious bread. 2) Order an app. They are all good. You cannot make a wrong choice here. 3) The beef is good; however, their guinea fowl is unbelievable. Try to go in the fall, and if you can get the guinea fowl with corn purée, you'll thank me for ordering it. 4) Make sure you've ordered all the wine, beverages you want BEFORE your meal arrives. The service falls apart once your meal comes, and good luck getting any refills. 5) When it comes time for dessert, skip it and go somewhere else. This is when the service is in shambles. It will take 40+ minutes to get your dessert, and if you order coffee, it will arrive lukewarm. So that's the good and bad of this restaurant. It's a 5 star on food, but a 2-3 star on dinner service. read more

I have eaten here a few times. Most recently last night with a group of 10. I continue to be thoroughly impressed with both the food and the service. Juliet, our server, was stellar. She has a firm grasp of the wine list and the ingredients of the dishes served. The special starter of eggs and white truffles was incredibly good, but the real star of the evening was the lamb. So beautifully roasted and crazy tender! Literally just pulled apart with a fork. I intend to dine here every time I come to Paris. For price - 10 people, all had a starter, a main and most had dessert and we shared 4 bottles of wine (good wine!). Total price was a 880 euros. We all thought it was extremely reasonable. read more

What a beautiful space! We ate outside and had a lovely meal. They accommodated our 3 year old daughter and we were blown away by the service! read more

I loved this restaurant. We sat in the outside in the courtyard on a warm nights. Watching dancers in the windows above the courtyard gave the night a magical feel. The tables our close but since our neighbors were speaking french it just added to the incredible atmosphere. We started the meal with a couple of gin & tonics. They let you choose your gin and then add an accompaniment such as lime or ginger. The drink was excellent. For a starter I had the asparagus and for my main the lamb shoulder. The lamb was one of the best meals I had in Paris. For dessert we had the whites chocolate dreamy which was equally amazing. Overall an amazing evening. read more

What an impressive meal and atmosphere! Tucked in a little courtyard, we didn't have a reservation but were lucky enough to be seated. The food gras was perfectly cooked and broccoli soup creamy ( could have used a bit of spice). My vegetarian polenta was marvelous with sautéed chanterelles and poached egg. Husbands dorade was accompanied by lemon foam to perk it up. Tarte tatin was the best I've had in years. read more

I had great expectations for my lunch here. I read a raving review on another site. I made reservations in advance and when I arrived I was sat in what had to be the worst table in the house, squeezed in between a couch and two radiators. I was constantly dealing with waiters and guests pushing their way past me. The service only has one word - terrible. Not once did they check on the table. My soup was fine but the menu did not mention a semi cooked egg on top which was just too much. The lamb was ok but I just couldn't recover from where I was seated and the lack of attention from the server. read more

Nothing special - desserts were probably the best course of the meal. Does it have a Michelin star? If so, I don't understand it (lately I absolutely do not trust the Michelin restaurants -- what odd places they pick sometimes! [Scratching my head]). I had the scallop carpaccio which was very good, but that's a tough one to mess up in my opinion. My main was 'camaro na moranga' -- a pumpkin soup with shrimp. It was nothing special. I tried my brother's seabass and it reminded me of the cod in this crappy NYC restaurant on Park Ave South where the fish tastes frozen/microwaved. The dessert (banana tart) was fantastic, though. Service was excellent. While the place is beautifully decorated, something is missing. The atmosphere is lacking. Overall, I don't recommend this place -- do not trust Michelin on this one! (if it even has a star, again I am not sure it does) read more

The menu might seem small and simple at first but the flavors are anything but! We were a large group so we got to sample many things: lamb, pork, dish.. All startlingly good. We will be back every trip probably. read more

We ended up here after our hotel Concierge's recommended it... everyone dining here was American so I assume many hotels suggest it. It was beautiful and spacious with high ceilings. The menu is limited though, the green bean salad was delicious. I did not enjoy my eggplant at all. Fish was good. For France, the service was excellent. Attentive and relatively fast. The courtyard it is in is quaint with dance studio in many of the rooms around it. It was not so memorable that we would return. read more

We enjoyed a fabulous meal here last night. The location is set back from the street and very historic and romantic. The bread is a house specialty served with a delicious citron infused olive oil, and it was especially good with the jambon starter. I had the monkfish served in a delicious but not overly heavy sauce of capers and pine nuts. My husband had the butternut squash tortellini and it was incredible in a brown butter sage sauce. Friendly service and fabulous surroundings make this a place not to miss in the Marais! read more

Great food. Great location (in Marais, near Pompidou), great looking restaurant. The house bread is great and the food tastes better than it looks. Must visit if you had even one evening in Paris... read more

We went for lunch and had a wonderful time. The owners have exposed some of the original, medieval details of the building while adding super modern touches (like the marble and gold-detailed table tops). One warning is that the service was definitely a bit slow, particularly if you're used to service in the US. That said, my husband had his favorite meal during our entire stay in Paris--the lamb shoulder. Overall, a very positive experience, even considering the hype. read more

One of my favourite meals in my short Paris stay. Had the lunch special of 2 courses, delicious and surprisingly good value. Lovely atmosphere. Agree with other reviewer service is slow if you are used to US but very friendly. Recommend read more

Very disappointed with my meal here. Food was marginal at best and my wine glass sat empty for half the meal without a server ever asking if I would like more. Overpriced all around. read more

Went here for New Year's Eve and we were sorely disappointment. It was filled with American patrons (which should have given us our first warning) and the service was just the worst. We could hear pots and pans being thrown around in the kitchen with someone screaming at the staff. Then we had one course that came out- it was a foie gras ravioli and we both picked up the bowls and inhaled the delicious aromas only to have the server come and literally snatch the bowls from us and give them to the table right next to us! I told him we also had not had that course and he said sorry these are for them. It was so awkward and offensive. We proceeded to wait another 20 mins for the exact same course to come out for us. Luckily the hostess came and apologized with a glass of champagne but by that time we just wanted to get out of there. There are so many great restaurants in Paris, such a shame we wasted a night here. read more

the appetizers are the stars here - can't decide what is best - the foie gras with lemon, the mushroom fricassee or the pumpkin soup. this is fine dining, and everything is a flavour explosion. can't wait to bring everyone I know here. read more
