Soak up the sauce with the bread chef said as he winked and walked by. Yes sir! What a once in a lifetime experience. To summarize it was phenomenal. Because we are American we arrived very early to our reservation. We were catered to hand and foot by all of the staff who were so polite and provided interesting tidbits along the way of the tasting. This tasting is a meal where you are going to be stuffed by the end. I've only included a couple photos so those who wish to be surprised will be. My absolute favorite dish was actually not part of the official tasting but rather a broth brought between two courses. It was salty, briny and the absolute essence of the sea. It was perfection. I'll try not to give away any more surprises. We asked the waiter to allow us a blank tasting where they would bring us dishes at the end we provide provided with the menu so that we could revisit the dishes that we enjoyed so much. It was a wonderland of seafood and imagination. Dessert was multiple rounds and lovely. What I loved about this experience was despite chef being arguably one of the most decorated in the world, he was so kind and personable and make sure we were having a wonderful experience stopping by multiple times. And making the joke about using the bread like a Scarpetta. This is definitely an indulgent experience and I am so appreciative that the team had made it so memorable for us! I hope to come back again when we return to visit! read more

I think this is our favorite restaurant in Paris. From walking up the stairs to the restaurant to leaving with brioche bread to take home. There were a few hiccups, but food was on point. Service was good but should be better. There were a few times it was very slow and restaurant was not full. The oddest part for us was when the dessert cart came. The person did not tell us about the different desserts and not sure if he was a manager? We're not exactly sure why but he had us use our own hand to pick up the dessert items which we knew was not right. We asked twice before using our fingers. We were careful not to touch the other items in cart. It seemed very normal for him. We watched other tables later, and server used tongs to get the desserts. This is our second time at the Paris location, and not our first time at a Michelin restaurant. Highlight was to see Guy Savoy! He's such a kind Chef and was gracious to let us in the kitchen and take a photo. We did this last time as well. Thank you for a delicious meal. read more

Uhhh so I guess I also forgot to write a review for Guy Savoy from 6 years ago... oops! We came for lunch after a half day of museum-ing. Can't be the combinations of looking at some beautiful Monet's and then lunching at Guy Savoy. The most memorable (now thinking about it six years later) were the champagne, soup, and dessert. The champagne is 50 euros a glass, but it was absolutely amazing and so worth it! I don't even like bubbly 50% of the time. We chose the truffle soup with brioche. There really isn't a reason to choose something else. The soup is rich and flavorful. The brioche is but in half and buttered thickly. It's a heavy start to the meal but so decadent. An older French gentleman was seated near us and seemed like a regular. He had TWO brioches with his soup, what a champ. I need to figure out his exercise plan. For entree, I got the salmon and my husband got the beef two ways. My salmon was "cooked" table side. And by cooked, I mean slightly "cold poached" (idk the term) by liquid nitrogen. It's then served in a light consommé. This was slightly underwhelming as it didn't have a lot of flavor, but the salmon was very fresh. My husband's beef entree was delicious. It was cooked perfectly medium rare and had really nice veggie and sauce to complement. The palette cleanser course was some cream with a poached fig on top. The fig is rolled like a cross section of a snail. Just beautiful. For dessert, I chose the mille feuille (another inspo by The Great British Baking Show) and my husband chose the chocolate dessert. The mille feuille had perfect lamination and flakes, served with a rich vanilla cream. It's a pretty heavy dessert. I wish I chose something a little less decadent. The chocolate dessert is another dish that my husband still talks about. There were several different executions of chocolate in this dish. It's presented with a tall cylinder of chocolate with a chocolate truffle balanced on top. The thin disk of chocolate is melted through and the truffle drops into the mousse within the cylinder. It was chocolate on chocolate on chocolate but not coying or overwhelming. There was more dessert afterwards - ice cream, petit fours, and a truffle hiding under the coffee mug. Definitely go to Guy Savoy, and definitely go hungry. You will not be disappointed! read more

Guy Savoy Paris is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've stepped into an old-money dream. It's located inside the original Paris Mint, so the whole setting is already historic and grand before you even sit down. As you walk up, the doors glide open into a dark, moody hallway, and the chef's team greets you every step of the way. Guy Savoy himself visits every table during the meal, which made it feel personal and thoughtful. Suit jackets are required for men, but if you didn't bring one (like my partner), they'll hand you a sharp one at the door. The staff was super polished but also surprisingly funny. It took me a second to catch on, but once I realized they were being dry on purpose, it was a blast. One waiter told me the restroom was outside across the street and "we call it the Seine." I fully believed him until he started cracking up. As for the food, it had some of the most unforgettable bites I've ever had, and a few that left me confused. The iced oysters actually made me tear up. It tasted like a whole day at the beach - cold breeze, saltwater, the works. Other highlights included the bluefin tuna with caviar, an early grey tea sorbet, and the truffled mushroom brioche that I could have eaten forever. Some courses were just fine or a little weird (the Bresse chicken was moist but bland and strangely cut, and the side of grilled chicken leg with sushi rice totally outshined it). There were also two surprise moments I loved. One dessert had a hidden crunch underneath, and the espresso came with a tiny biscuit hidden under the cup. The waiter quietly commented "SURPRISE" both times, and honestly, it brought me so much joy. Final thought: it's a beautifully executed, once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'd recommend to serious food lovers or anyone celebrating something big. But at €740+ per person, I wouldn't go again. That oyster was magical, but I'd rather spend that kind of money at an actual beach than eat one again. read more

We have eaten in Michelin-starred restaurants on several occasions but I can count with one hand those that truly has giving us an overall memorable experience. Only four of them, to be exact. Dani Garcia in Marbella, Eleven Madison in New York City, DiverXO in Madrid and GUY SAVOY in Paris. This restaurant is THE definition of high-quality gastronomy. In order to get to the restaurant you have to climb a majestic staircase. To our surprise, as soon as we entered the restaurant the chef was standing there greeting us. As they walk you to your table you can appreciate the cool and edgy art pieces in the walls. First thing I noticed at the table were the colorful artsy plates, very unique. There were only four other tables in the room, so it was delightful noticing how the servers, almost doing a coordinated choreography, brought dishes out and place them all at the same time. We started our experience with a champagne toast and then the Sommelier suggested a Burgundy Chardonnay, french white wine which paired perfectly with the food. All dishes were absolutely delicious. I have to highlight the deconstructed onion soup and the artichoke black truffle soup. Standing ovation. The lobster was also OUTSTANDING! For dessert they had one of my ultimate favorites, the hazelnut tart. Creamy and nutty. The chef not only greeted us at the entrance, he took the time to pass by the tables to make sure everything is fine. For me that was impressive. The attention to detail is of a world-class restaurant. Everything immaculate. Dining here was a total pleasure! read more

First meal of the trip and it was a good one. Review is also for lunch too but still quite expensive. The good Exquisite preparation and flavors from the 3 layers of caviar, the truffle and artichoke soup to lobster and chicken. Everything about the meal was wonderful as they kept coming and coming with all sorts of bells and whistles. The bad The room we dined in was very quiet. Almost too quiet for my liking. The room had only 4 tables and I felt everyone was just whispering to be polite. It was kinda annoying and reminded me why I'm starting to get bored of fine dining. read more

This is one of the greatest restaurants I've ever been to. I'm going to just tell you three stories to illustrate why, all not centered on the food itself -- it's a given that it's transcendent -- but certain little things that separate Guy Savoy. 1. My friend was allergic to shellfish, and the menu was a bit heavier on that this night. Not to worry: on a fly, Guy Savoy said they'd do a custom menu for us and improvise. It was nuts: I remember feeling like there'd be nothing better left in life than the caviar dish, even though I very much want to still live and thrive. 2. Legendary NBA coach Gregg Popovich entered and was quickly accommodated -- a table set up in 30 seconds -- and he enjoyed his meal. Pop was about 20 feet from us at the adjacent table. Never once, though, did it ever feel the staff was shifting all of its attention to Pop and ignoring the rest of us. We got the same amount of attention and care as Pop. (We came during the Olympics.) I've known mid-tier mid-town Italian restaurants in NYC that completely abandon a table if they're servicing some Wall Street party or something like that. Not Guy Savoy! 3. Guy Savoy came out and greeted everyone! At first, I was like, no way. Must be a deputy, maybe even a guy who looks like... GUY. Not so. It was THE Guy. He shook our hand, asked how we liked the meal, and did the same for everyone in the restaurant. He did it for us just like he did it for Pop. Now, how much more egalitarian can you get than that, huh? 1789 forever! read more

The restaurant is pronounced Ghee Savuah. What an honor TO MEET THE CHEF HIMSELF at the restaurant. I couldn't believe that he was standing at the front when we entered the restaurant. The restaurant requires a jacket to be worn at the restaurant. If you forget one, they have a rental available, however the fit may not be in your favor. This restaurant is the EPITOME of HIGH-QUALITY GASTROMY and requires a serious splurge to dine here. Lunch prices are economical than dinner, although this was the most expensive complete meal I've ever had. Prepare to leave an open tab because nothing is free here, including water. We started out with a CHAMPAGNE TOAST and this sparkling wine was just right to mood right. Initially, we were the only people sitting in the room and it was very quiet and roomy. We were greeted by three different staff members that were there to assist throughout our journey. One of the members was a Wine Sommelair and his only job is to pour and help you find the right wine. I was reluctant to try the PAIR WINES with my meal, because my partner doesn't drink. However, they let me pair wines only for myself and I got to experience the beauty of French wines in different arrays of color, bitterness, and flavor. We went with their LUNCH SET MENU which consisted of: AMUSE BOUCHE; GREEN PEA DISH; TEXTURES AND TEMPERATURES OF GREEN AND WHITE ASPARAGUS; COULOURS OF CAVIAR, SMOKED SABAYON; RAW/COOKED LOBSTER WITH CORAL, WITH A CARROT-LOBSTER CRISP; ARTICHOKE SOUP with BLACK TRUFFLE; LAYERED TRUFFLED MUSHROOM BRIOCHE; GUINEA FOWL COOKED THREE WAYS, SAUCE SUPREME, SALAD OF GUINEA FOWL LIVERS; SORBET; RICE PUDDINGS We ended our meal with COFFEE. It came in this tall cup and upon lifting it was a small round chocolate cookie hidden underneath. The drink was excellent and I loved how the chef came back to every table to see how the meal was. I took many photos but one that I am very fond of was the picture I took with the mighty chef. In summary, the preparation, the presentation, the professionalism, and the taste were all incredible. There are no words to describe how everything was immaculate. Although this dining pleasure has dented my wallet, it was all worth it. Since this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and this dining gastronomy came in full circle in completing my Parisian trip. If the Chef is ever reading this, here's what I want to tell him. Chef Savoy, merci pour cette expérience inoubliable. read more

Guy Savoy was exceptional as far as service, ambiance, wine list, and furnishings. The food was also quite good but did not "wow" my wife and me at every turn. What stood out the most was the quiet atmosphere and ambiance. There was a fireplace and we spent most of our meal dining alone in a room with windows overlooking the Seine. Truly, an exquisite ambiance. The service was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, as one should expect from a restaurant with a converted third Michelin star. The wine pairings were not part of the menu but were selected by a sommelier who (as you should expect) really knows his wine. I was so impressed I asked for the full list of wines served afterward. The food seemed to get better and better after each course, with the crescendo being a chicken and truffle dish. A truffle soup was also exceptional. But the dishes became less impressive towards the end. All in all, I would rate Guy Savoy 4.5 out 5. And, like Per Se, I think Carte Blanche in Dallas is better to be completely honest. But Guy Savoy is definitely worth a stop if you're in Paris. read more

They need to restore his third Michelin star ASAP!!! This was the most amazing dining experience I have had in my life. We were completely blown away. We came here for lunch and had been planning to do the smaller, seven course lunch menu. However, once we saw both menus, we decided to go for it with the full tasting menu, I think it was 11 courses. It actually ended up being way more than that because of all the amuse bouches. It was so much food! And all it was absolutely exquisite. The service is exactly what you expect of this world-class restaurant. What I loved was that Guy Savoy himself came around to all the tables and said hello and thanked us for being there. I can't even describe all the food except to say that it was incredibly delicious, creative, unique, and just perfect. Exquisite experience!! read more

This is our last day in Paris, and we ended it with a bang. This place is expensive, no doubt, but 100% worth it. The tasting menu was unreal -- every dish had so much flavor and care. The artichoke truffle soup was next level. My girlfriend loved it a lot too she was smiling the whole time. Service was flawless, wine pairings hit, and the whole vibe was special without being too formal. If you're in Paris and want to go out strong, this is the move. read more

This review is way overdue, as our dinner experience here was in February, and now it is already September...At the time of our dining the restaurant had 3 Michelin Stars, but the day after our dining there, we read an article that Monsieur Savoy has lost a star. Must have been an awkward call to get that news... Regardless, our dinner at Guy Savoy Paris will forever remain in our memory as the best meal of our lives by far! My hubby and I are fortunate to have had dined at many incredible restaurants around the world, but this place is just above and beyond them all. It's not just the food, but the whole experience was phenomenal including the location which cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. Located in Le Monnaie, the restaurant is situated on the 2nd floor of a functioning minting building. The entrance is grand and the staircase that leads to the restaurant at night is majestic. Our hats are off to M. Savoy on all his achievements and his management team. He is not only talented but is a very warm and friendly person. It should be noted that hubby and I were not in our best conditions due to our stomach problems starting that day and we were not hungry at all...yet every single dish impressed us. Maitre D personally designed the menu for us since we told him that we couldn't eat that much. He inquired what we liked to eat and designed it so that it was light on the stomach. We had the best table in the house as per hubby's request. Everything was perfect! Their prix fixe was 13 course dinner, but we reduced ours to 6 courses. There weren't much price difference from reducing all those courses and it is understandable because they had to design a custom menu for us. Our bill was US$1100 including wine. Our menu was seafood dominant and of course included was M. Savoy's famous artichoke soup. Everything was divine and service was impeccable. Sommelier recommended the most amazing wines. Will absolutely return again! read more

Truly one of the best meals of our lives, an amazing culinary experience. We splurged here as the pinnacle of our honeymoon trip and it was well worth it for the tasting menu. After a glass of champange, we started with a amuse bouche of champagne jelly, zucchini with goat cheese, radish, asparagus, and snap pea. Next was a foie gras bite on toast and a smoking plate with leek and tarragon to smell beforehand. Everything was impeccably plated and no detail was forgotten. Our next three courses were dry ice cooked salmon with green caviar, their famous artichoke soup with black truffle and brioche with black truffle butter, and then a filet mignon with roasted eggplant and crispy potato lattice and sliced steak with demi galce. Onto the dessert portion, first had a palate cleanser of peach foam with frozen mint and peach sorbet center and then apricot with honey and goat cheese whipped cream on a muesli crisp with apricot sauce. This apricot dish was the most beautifully plated food I have ever seen, I still think about it all the time. We thought we might be finished here, but then the dessert cart came out! So many selection, we seemed to pick one of everything to try and it was all incredible. The service was absolutely amazing as well, you feel as if you are being entertained in someone's home for the evening. Yes, this is a big splurge, but if you are going to spend the money for an impeccable coursed meal, this is the place to do it. read more

My wife and I returned to Guy Savoy for another meal 17 months after our last one. This time we ate without our daughter, but with our son, a cousin and an old friend, and we had lunch, instead of dinner. The dinner's 13+ course "Colours, Textures & Flavours Menu" was just too much for me. The lunch's seven course "Keep it simple" menu was just about perfect. To me, the best gastronomic meals are convivial and that starts with the chef. As he often does, Chef Guy Savoy greeted us as we entered the restaurant. After that, we were cared for by the excellent front of house staff. As for the food itself, the kitchen produces some of the most delicious and extraordinary dishes that I have ever experienced. Period. I'll post photos. The wine pairings were also extraordinary. I think that asparagus and artichoke are two ingredients with which it's very difficult to pair a wine, but, for the first time in my life, the selected wines paired perfectly with them. If you want to experience gastronomy at the highest level, you cannot go wrong with a meal at Guy Savoy. I'm already looking forward to my next meal there. read more

So, during this most recent visit to Paris, I visited 5 different Michelin Restaurants Epicure Pur Septime L Tour Da Argant And Guy Savoy I would have to say that this place was our favorite overall. The food The Ambiance Comfort Cadence of dishes for the tasting menu And service was all at the top of the food chain literally and figuratively. Guy Savoy is located in what appears to be a historic building. The entrance is grand and beautiful. With a majestic staircase leading up to the restaurant. The dining rooms are dark, warm, and seductive. The service is first class, gracious and humble without pretense and on par with 3 star Michelin Restaurant Le Cinque also in Paris. I'm actually perplexed as to why this place has 2 stars while Epicure has 3 stars. Both places provide similar 3-star services and food. But I found Epicure to be a little too proud of themselves and lacking in grace and humility. But you can read my review for them when I post it. Anyways, the tasting menu will run you €650 per person, without wine pairing. They do not have a conventional bar nor signature cocktails, but they can accommodate any standard cocktail requests you make. I asked for a Negroni, and my wife had a mock tail. Both were quite good, with the only critique being that the ice cubes for my Negroni were actual ice cubes and not the proper single crystal clear hunk of ice. But the taste was excellent. We had great seats by the window facing out towards the river Seine. Quite romantic. There is the obligatory purse seat and coat check-in like any good Michelin Restaurant. The amount of luxurious ingredients is over flowing. Dishes that we normally don't like were prepared in amazing ways that turned convention on its head (cold raw oysters). My wife actually ate 90% of everything served. Which is incredibly rare for her. The only dish that was a miss for the both of us was the Guinea Fowl. This is apparently a favorite amongst the locals though. My favorite thing was the ice cream trolley. I wanted to eat the whole thing. The best part is that you CAN! They will serve you as much of their home made ice cream with accompaniments as you wish. Without making you feel undignified in the least. I wanted to ask them to roll the trolley back to my hotel So the entire tasting course took a little over three and a half hours to get through. But this dinner was less excruciating than most other tasting menus. Almost as pleasant as my experience at Le Cinq. Which says alot about the comfort of the seats, atmosphere and graciousness of the staff. These tasting menus can sometimes feel more like marathons instead of fine dining. But this place kept the entire evening enjoyable. At the end of the evening each guest was presented with a delicious cruffian (croissant/muffin). This days offering was a Framboise and praline cruffian. Which we enjoyed the next day during our tour bus ride to Mont Saint Michel. read more

Exceptional. Perfection. Creative. Inventive. Magnifique. This is how we felt leaving Guy Savoy. The evening begins walking up the gorgeous red carpet stairs and promptly greeted by the hostess, sat down immediately and greeted immediately by Huebert (the best server!!). A cleansing drink was waiting for us at the table. We were sat in one of the largest rooms which is darkly painted with modern art. We had the tasting menu at 550 euro/person. The sommelier, Charles, was so helpful throughout the evening from starting us with champagne, then white wine then a bottle of red then port then cognac. Our server, Jules, was so impressive. He told us about himself, made small talk, could explain all the dishes perfectly. Chef Guy Savoy greeted us when we sat and was constantly walking around the restaurant all 4 hours of our dining experience. We even got a photo with him at the end of the evening. The tasting menu was incredible. Everything about this place was incredible. Our glasses were full, our table crumbed multiple times, table adjusted for restroom breaks, being walked to the restroom. It's worth the hype. It deserves its 3 Michelin stars. read more

Went to this restaurant because my wife and I went to the one in Las Vegas and had an incredible time. The food and service and ambiance were fantastic. Little did we know the one in Paris is on a whole other level.

Great time and a memorable experience. read more

We spent a perfect lunch at Guy Savoy, enjoying the space, the encounter with the chef, and the very funny and talkative waiter.... Every course was excellent. The recommendations were perfect. We got treated with some additional "surprises". We felt very welcome, and this definitely counts as one of the best place to celebrate something exceptional, for the happy ones who can afford it. The highlights were the soup, and the mille feuilles revisited. No picture can give them justice! Many thanks to the staff. read more

Mmmmm. That's gastronomic speak for one of the best meals and dining experiences.

ATTENTION ALL AMERICANS!! COME HERE AND APPRECIATE THE STRONG DOLLAR!! Guy is awesome, the food is amazing and his team is superb! I am usually a huge 3 mich skeptic and I think this joint is worth every penny or whatever Europeans call 0.01 Euro coins. I've paid more for less, so I find Guy's lunch tasting to be a terrific value! The food is CRACK. I kept closing my eyes to appreciate the insane breadth of flavors & textures it was an experience. The 7 course tasting is really a 12 course tasting because they sneak you a bunch of stuff along the way & the waiters kept topping off my stuff with seconds. Every single thing they served had a unique spin, checkout my pics! The service is as you would expect from a 300 Euro meal (tax & tip included because its France), you can't even walk by yourself to take a piss! They escort you both ways & pull your chairs & place your napkin. TOP NOTCH. What really set this place apart was the fact that I WALKED IN WITH NO RESERVATION & GUY SAVOY HIMSELF ASKED THE GM TO HOOK ME UP WITH A TABLE. DUDE IS FREAKING AWESOME. The ambiance is crack, you walk up a FREAKING FRENCH MUSEUM STAIRCASE to get to the hidden doorway, and the inside looks like a small retrofitted museum wing with beautiful yet subtle decor. read more

Can confidently say that we had the best meal of our lives in Guy Savoy. We were a bit skeptical if this place would live up to our expectations given the high price tag even for a 3 Michelin star and our high expectations, but it ended up being everything we hoped for and more! Pretty much after every single dish, Andrew and I would look at each other and say "wow that was the best lobster / caviar / truffle / veal etc. I've ever had!". Every single thing was cooked to perfection; some of the off-the-menu side dishes can easily be on the tasting menu list at some other restaurants. Although the chef used a lot of heavy materials or ingredients like caviar, truffle, and foie gras, nothing is overdone; rather, they complement the original flavors of the dishes perfectly. There was no set wine pairing so we went with the sommelier's recommendations by the glass, and every glass was simply divine and went with each dish perfectly. What really impressed me was that the progression of the 13-course menu was perfect. Despite the extremely good entrees, the main dish was amazing and truly the highlight of the meal. This is different than a lot of other tasting menu places we've been where the main dish paled in comparison to the entrees. There were 5 desserts and a whole dessert cart at the end so that was definitely a delight too. The whole dinner took us 5 hours and needless to say we left extremely happy - and full! The decor and the setting was quite to my liking - understated dark interiors with classic Parisian mouldings and tasteful modern art, while overlooking the Seine. The restaurant is located in a building that resembles a former palace and entering via the grand staircase was quite the experience. Service was on point and seamless. They saw very quickly that Andrew doesn't eat foie gras and brought out an amazing truffle porridge quickly. Although I will say service was a bit cold; not sure if it's because they didn't speak English well enough to chitchat with us. We definitely heard more conversations between guests and waiters in other tables nearby - all in French of course. Overall a magnificent experience. Highly recommend! read more

From the moment you step into Monnaie de Paris, which houses the restaurant, you become part of a well-choreographed flawless dance, with impeccable service and food, where no detail is left out. The menu is well rounded - not necessarily in this order: greens, artichokes, black truffles, oysters, granite of seaweed and lemon, mussels, lobster, caviar, John Dory, foie gras, duck, veal, cheeses, earl grey tea sorbet, tomato-framboise, chocolate tartlet, verbena ice and ice-cream trolly. The setting is 6 rooms overlooking the Seine river. The experience was only made better by a visit to our table by Guy Savoy, the chef himself, who was kind enough to talk to all diners. You don't leave empty handed - they give you a delicious, sweet brioche you can enjoy for breakfast the next day and a candleholder in celebration of their 50-year anniversary.

Amazing! Guy himself greeted everyone on the way in and at dinner to make sure everything was excellent. Jackets for men are strongly recommended at dinner but I did see a few sans jacket (it was quite hot when we went). The rooms are chic with modern decor and art. I expected the service to be a little stuffy- I know I'm generalizing traditional French fine dining. But the staff was welcoming and had a great sense of humor! Every dish was delightful and I have never been so full from a tasting menu in my life! Many of the dishes had accompanying sauces that were poured over at the table- I kinda liked that. They ruined the aesthetic of the dish for you so you didn't feel bad cutting into a masterpiece and the sauces were yummy! Among the courses were also a cheese cart and a dessert cart with ice creams and little treats. My husband doesn't consume caffeine and asked for herbal tea to finish. We were surprised when they rolled out a cart with fresh herbs growing! He selected mint and verbena, which were cut and steeped together at the table. There was no established wine pairing but we were able to tell the staff our wine preferences and he curated pairings along the way with the tasting. Everything was paced out so nicely that I thought we had been there for maybe an hour and noticed 2.5 hours had passed! It was all together nearly a 4h affair but it didn't seem like it at all. Must visit! read more

Celebrating Valentine's Day at 3-Michelin Star Guy Savoy is always a good idea. We were hoping to partake in their Tasting Menu but were unfortunately advised during our reservation confirmation that they did not have a vegetarian tasting menu - quelle dommage! They did confirm however that meeting our dietary restrictions would not be a problem & they would be happy to show us which menu items could be adjusted to accommodate our needs.....so we hesitantly agreed to keep our reservation ( after having been royally burned by Le Meurice's same claim in the past....but that's a different review ) Upon arrival, we were greeted & welcomed by what seemed like the whole staff plus Chef Guy Savoy himself. From there, the fantastic first impression only got better & better The team catering to our every need was led by Hubert & he informed us that since we had made reservations in advance, they * were * able to create a vegetarian tasting menu for us & then after confirming we would like all the selections they had planned for us ( we did! ), the feasting began! And on top of it all, it was TRUFFLE SEASON! Everything was piled high with luscious black truffles & they were earthy & fresh & induced eye-rolls at every taste. And what I really liked was that at about the halfway point during a certain tasting course, they would come back out to offer second helpings - this was brilliant! After starting with a delightful glass of Rosé, the Sommelier helped us navigate their extensive wine menu to choose the perfect Bordeaux red to go with our truffles - hello Pomerol!! Apologies for not capturing everything accurately but this is a nice recap: * Amuse Bouches - because yes, there were TWO rounds of amuse with little crisps and mousses on top * Truffle salad with potatocakes * Potato topped with truffle and sabayon cream - there presentation here was unreal - they cracked an egg on a nest & then scooped out the sabayon * Mushroom and beans with homemade rice cracker * Baby Carrots in a variety of ways * Artichoke & Truffle soup with a truffle croissant AND truffle butter * Lentils loaded with truffle * Cheese Course * pre-dessert of vanilla ice cream and blood orange * Mille Feuille with fresh vanilla cream * Then the dessert cart comes out with all kinds of puddings & candies.

Another great dinner during a work trip to Paris. I think the other reviews give accurate insights into the food etc. which is all excellent. We found the service to be fantastic. Really enjoyed the banter with our waiter and it was really interesting seeing the whole space including kitchen. I'd like to do a private event here at soem point as they have a really nice room for it. In addition to the food being excellent, the wines we chose were also great and the Som was very knowledgeable and helpful. We will definitely be back. read more

World renowned and for good reason! My wife and I celebrated our 105h anniversary at Guy Savoy. This wonderful place transcends the restaurant category as it truly is more about having an experience to remember. A wine list that was so heavy that a side table was needed. 8+ staff members assigned to each table, even ours of two! The food was both creative and perfectly executed. You will most definitely spend $600+ per person to enjoy your time here, but it's well worth it. Our 10th anniversary was made even more special by visiting Guy Savoy and will be back for our 20th!! read more

Went for dinner a couple of weeks ago. Having been disappointed by our first 3-star dinner in Paris early in the week I was a bit cautious... but there is no need. This is a top notch, world class restaurant. It is an impeccable experience from start to finish. The service is amazing. They are attentive, informed, they have passion and they are playful and have fun and seem to enjoy their jobs which allows the diner to have fun. Also the restaurant itself is gorgeous. Everything is purposeful and works. Now to the food: I wanted to go through dish by dish, but it's so hard. It's just all soo good. Delicious, beautiful, inventive. The meal kept surprising and there were basically no letdowns or phoned-in courses. I'll only mention a few highlights that I can still taste a couple weeks later: The "bursting tomato" is genius and a masterclass in tomato. It's a dish masquerading as another dish but it's definitely not just a gimmick. The half a dozen different preparations of tomato made eating it a rollercoaster ride. It's a shake-your-head-in-the-middle-of-eating type of experience. Oh, and let's not forget that it's served with a side dish of a tomato tart that any restaurant on the planet could put out on it's own as a course. The tomato dish was followed up by the "colours of caviar" and if you didn't know by this point you were in for something special, this dish made sure you knew. Served like a parfait, of course there was a lot of delicious caviar, but the smoked sabayon and the caviar vinegar? It was ridiculous. Oh yeah, and this dish was also served with a side dish of caviar and sabayon served in an egg shell. There was a bonus course of mushrooms and then my fiancee's favorite dish the lobster curry (really not doing it justice calling it that, but she can leave her own review)... The artichoke and truffle soup with truffled mushroom brioche was another standout. The guinea fowl was amazing. The cheese... The desserts that just kept coming... I'm running out of words to describe the food, so I won't try. Needless to say at this point. This is a meal we won't soon forget. It was not a meal, it was an experience... it was a memory. It was everything a 3-star tasting menu should be. And, it was worth every penny. read more

Went for lunch and had the tasting menu. We were just about the first group to be seated at this beautiful restaurant and were extremely surprised to be greeted by the chef, Guy Savoy, himself! He took pictures with us and even gave our daughter a gift for her birthday! But not only the chef but the entire staff of amazing people treated us like we were VIP celebrities. The food was spectacular! Each course was slightly different in taste and presentation and complemented each bite as you proceeded through the course. A few things that really surprised us for such a high end meal were that the food was very robust and hearty! Not tiny little mini foods you might expect from a 3 star Michelin restaurant! Also, do not think you will need to go to a second meal after! We were all very full by the end and I personally have a giant appetite. In fact, try not to indulge too much in their bread as you may get too full to enjoy the meal. But the bread, along with everything else, was exquisite! We went to many other bakeries while in Paris and we believe the bread at Guy Savoy was easily our favorite. This restaurant will spoil you and really make every other restaurant feel drab. Hope to be back soon to try more food and enjoy the best service we have ever seen. We have had many wonderful meals in Los Angeles. San Francisco, Tokyo, Seoul, etc. But this meal was truly spectacular and memorable. read more

I have waited to post my review to try and let the entire experience set in. August 1st we had lunch at this location ( I foolishly thought lunch would be more reasonable $) and it was an incredible dining experience. I have dined at Guy Savoy in 2000 at different location and that experience was also worth note. My daughter, wife and I sat for two hours watching delight after delight arrive at our table. Champagne, and White Burgundy flowing.... My main was Sweetbreads, the most amazing I have ever had, texture, flavor and presentation with ever star. I will confess that I will never justify the price again but it will be in my memory forever as the greatest lunch ever. Our Waiter was incredible and Guy walked by to say hello. read more

My wife and I decided to wrap up a wonderful trip to France by experiencing Guy Savoy's 3-Michelin star cuisine at his new location in the former Paris mint. Prior to going to Paris I had read numerous reviews and articles about the city's numerous Michelin-starred options. I finally decided upon Chef Savoy's because of stellar reviews and the fact that he personally is in the kitchen. L'Arpège was also under consideration but I felt it leaned more towards vegetables and I'm more of a meat/fish and game eater. From the moment you pass through security into the Paris Mint, you know you're in for a memorable evening. You climb a magnificent red-carpeted staircase to find yourself on a non-descript landing. The unmarked door to the restaurant is in a corner, and as you approach it, it automatically swings open and a receptionist is there to greet you. Upon being seated, we were offered champagne by the glass, which we enjoyed while perusing all the numerous menu options. We settled on the tasting menu in order to sample the wide range of dishes upon which Chef Savoy has built his reputation. Before we knew it, Chef Savoy came to our table to welcome us to his restaurant and he was very kind and inquisitive - where were we from, how long were we in Paris, etc. He was kind enough to take some photos with us before dinner was served. The experience began at 8pm and we were there until 1am. The oysters and caviar were out of this world...as were the pigeons and wonderful bowls of black truffle and artichoke soup. Want another black truffle brioche to wrap up your soup? Just ask! At Guy Savoy the staff goes out of their way to please. My wife prefers moscatos, while I prefer reds. The sommelier was wonderful enough to do pairings with every 2-3 dishes based on our preferences. I swear once wine passes the threshold of Guy's restaurant it transforms into something special...some of the best I've ever tasted. The cheese and dessert courses came with all-you-could-eat helpings from a cheese and dessert cart, alongside the dishes Guy prepared for you. Baked plum compote, macarons, chocolates and Camembert...all were fantastic. At 1am our waiter Hubert showed us all the other dining rooms which have antiques and works of art proudly displayed next to all of the Michelin accolades. Hubert took photos of us, gave us an entire menu to take home as a souvenir and allowed us a quick peek into the kitchen. On our way out, we were given two fresh brioches to enjoy for breakfast the next day. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I cannot recommend Guy Savoy at LaMonnaie enough. Just go! read more

We got the tasting menu and a bottle of white wine and almost everything was amazing. Usually, I only find a few things good on a tasting menu, but I explicitly enjoyed at least 2/3 of the dishes, especially the foie gras and the oyster. If I come back, I will order a la carte, because the tasting menu took a good 4 hours. I did not like the jacket requirement - I wore a leather jacket and it seemed fine with them, but it seems like I'm the only one who wears leather (I don't wear suits except for weddings). However, the decor was very simple and not gaudy, which I enjoyed. There were also great views of the Seine. read more

Perhaps we were spoiled by the previous day's lunch at L'Epicure, but I'm sad to say that Guy Savoy did not meet my expectations. I fear this was due to our choice of the abbreviated lunch tasting rather than the grand experience, but at the price I still expect to be impressed (albeit with fewer dishes). The a la carte menu presented very few of the dishes described online, and was a big disappointment with the exception of the phenomenal desserts. The experience started off well, with the beautiful entrance into the Monnaie de Paris. The museum is currently hosting a special exhibition by Subodh Gupta, who creates art that is provocatively appropriate next to such a shrine to cuisine -- he constructs enormous art out of the gleaming stainless steel cooking implements of everyday Indian life. The "Dada Tree" greets you in the courtyard, a towering Banyan of tiffins and spatulas, and the room-filling skull of "Very Hungry God" sits directly across from the restaurant. Chef Savoy greeted us personally as we arrived; a nice man and I appreciate his presence supervising his flagship restaurant. He was about the dining room through the entire afternoon checking in with regular guests (or perhaps guests with stronger language skills than mine; I do not feel slighted in the least). We had selected the "Menu Digital," an online-only booking offer of a three-course menu (starter, main, dessert) of the diner's selection from, I assumed, the full a la carte menu. I was surprised to find that the menu we received overlapped only slightly with the stunning menu pictured on the recently revamped website, and the most attractive dishes were not listed. Pictured dishes such as the skate wing with caviar, red mullet swimming in the sea, and most of the meat and offal dishes were simply not present. I appreciate seasonality and attention to the freshest ingredients, but the listed alternatives did not seem equivalent, and I question if other diners were presented the same menu. Unable to immediately decide, we were offered a four-course menu for the table at the same price -- I generally appreciate being offered what is most fresh or best, so we agreed. We started with the artichoke soup with black truffle, which was accompanied by a freshly buttered laminated pastry "brioche". This was a delightful dish (even if not so artful as the others). Next was the salmon "frozen" on ice with consommé. This was "prepared" table-side in a playful way with the fresh salmon "seared" on dry ice, but was also not particularly artful nor notable. The third course was a chicken dish not noted on the menu which was also pleasant but not memorable. Dessert was the "variations on strawberry with iced white tea," which was one of the most outstanding pastry dishes I have ever had! This dish (pictured online) arrived exactly as shown and had layer upon layer of perfectly coordinated flavors. This dish represented what I had expected of the entire meal. Following this was a trolley of additional pleasant desserts should one need more to eat. Finally, the espresso cup (see photos) deserves special mention as it concealed a small biscuit underneath. This carried on the surprise of the excellent dessert courses. It goes without saying that the service was uniformly attentive and without fault. Wines by the glass were acceptable. The full wine list contained a huge list of absurd prestigious wines at outrageous expense that I expect to be undrinkable (many 1930's Bordeaux, for example), but I suppose they might attract the odd oligarch from time to time. I suspect that the full set menu (at a stunning €415) delivers, but the shorter lunch menu (still €130) felt like it only included the less expensive or faster dishes rather than a representation of what Chef Savoy can do. That's a shame; other three-star restaurants treat all their diners better. read more

My girlfriend and I took our first trip outside the US. As a foodie, I considered a number of options. But eventually decided to splurge on a once in a lifetime experience. The food was fantastic but I was more impressed by the staff. The sommelier selected an excellent bottle which was the best I've ever had. And he took the time to explain to us (wine novices) how to properly experience the beverage. The head of house (Uber) was hilarious and made us feel welcome. Guy even came by our table twice during the 4 hour meal. And though we didn't expect them to, the staff supplied us with an English menu and explained each dish in English. The food: the food fantastic and very French. The food was on the savory side but extremely good. My favorite treats of the evening were the two free pre-meal treats we had while waiting to order and the dessert. We had eleven, yes eleven desserts, and they were the perfect acidic, light, flavors we needed following a very rich meal. If I could suggest one improvement, it'd be that restaurant incorporate some AC. I got pretty warm halfway through my meal. I'd definitely recommend the restaurant. But be warned - it is very expensive. We spent about $1800 US in total. read more

We had reservations for 7pm, first ones in the restaurant. We got a few minutes in the dining room to ourselves and talk to the maitre d', who was very welcoming and funny. The sommelier came with a cart of champagne, and offered us to start with multiple choices of champagne (white? rose?). We tried the Guy Savoy (white) (might as well try his namesake), then we were given the signature amuse bouche foie gras 'club sandwich' on a silver toothpick. Guy Savoy came to greet us (he was really nice!). We were served a progression of seafood dishes (unforgettable was the egg and caviar (looked like a trifle), then transitioned over to the artichoke and black truffle soup, duck breast, a vegetable ravioli, the cheese course, 2 desserts (rhubarb and chocolate), and petit fours in form of a dessert cart. I was hoping to get more wine, but I struggled finishing my champagne and glass of white (because of the asian genes :D). Service was outstanding. Everything was beautifully plated. Ambiance was historic, grand and contemporary at the same time (at the Monnaie de Paris). Too bad we forgot to ask for a copy of the menu! Definitely worth coming to Paris for this experience!
