We had a nice meal here on my birthday this month while on a trip. Many places not open on Mondays and they were, so that was good and made the choice easy. We knew it was a Michelin starred place - we found it in the guide. I have been to a decent number of starred places and know there is a difference between one star and two or three, so expectations were inline with that. Small place and comfortable atmosphere. Service was pretty solid. Not amazing but good enough. The food was very good. We did the tasting menu and I especially enjoyed the tartare. We started with the house champagne and my husband did their pairings, which I tasted and enjoyed. Nice experience. Not mind blowing but very steady and if I were local I could see coming back. We probably won't with so many places to try in Paris as visitors on each trip, but I would suggest adding it to your list if you haven't been. read more

Wow. Where do I begin. I suppose I can start by saying this is a Michelin Star Restaurant (one star), and eating here fulfilled a bucket list item of mine! I will probably always remember this meal, as it truly exceeded my expectations in many ways. To start, we were there for lunch and were to have made a reservation because otherwise we would not have gotten a table. Reservations can be made easily online. While the clientele was dressed formally (suits etc), we bumbled in off the street after being in transit all morning wearing jeans and T-shirts (which was not what we initially intended, but trains were late and it just ended up being this way), but no one batted an eye. Except for some of the customers, who gave us some strange looks, but they quickly got over us and moved on with their fancy expensive meals. We had an English-speaking waiter who was very professional, helpful, and attentive. We ordered the lunch menu (€55), and although we did not get to choose our dishes, we shared our dietary preferences and they were all accommodated. We also added the wine pairing, which was €20 for a glass each of white and red. The first item served was a small slice of house-cured dried pork, presented on a dry beef rib bone. It was excellent and just a tiny taste of what was to come! Focaccia was then served with olive oil, and this was when I really knew the meal was going to be something truly special. Focaccia isn't typically my favorite flavor or texture, but this one was out of this world! It melted in my mouth, and was served with really incredible olive oil. As a side note, I think someone needs to teach me how to shop for olive oil, because there is clearly a world out there that I have been missing out on! The next dish was a pumpkin soup with smoked pork froth. I wasn't aware that the froth on top wasn't the whole soup, and I ate that part first. Who knew smoked pork froth was even a thing, and how incredibly delicious it could be? The rest of the soup was delicate and flavorful, and a great way to move into the more substantial dishes. I'm not a big foie gras person, but it was served next (with reduction of hare) and I went for it! I'd say this was my least favorite dish, mostly because it was served cold and I would've preferred it to be closer to room temperature, I think. Perhaps foie gras is always served cold and would have made me sick otherwise, who knows. But I found the temperature and texture to be too much of a contrast to the rest of the delicately prepared meal. Then came some bread with buckwheat butter, which was interesting. It completely cleared my palate to get ready for the star of the show.. Then, the main course, cheese ravioli with field mushrooms and pork dumplings (or maybe this was also just a different ravioli). UM WOW. This was absolutely incredible, and definitely the best pasta I've ever eaten. The creaminess of the cheese and the absolutely incredible pecorino blew me away. The pork pasta was also incredible, and a perfect example of the ideal depth of flavor for such a dish. I would pay €50 for this dish alone, especially if it included more than one of the cheese raviolis! Wow wow wow. I'd like to pause here to describe the biggest faux-pas committed during the meal. It wasn't our ridiculously casual attire and overall disheveled look, or the olive oil drippings we created all over our tablecloth. Nope. The manager came over and corrected me for using my knife upside down. Just to be clear, I have used knives all of my life and am very familiar with how they work. I was extremely confused because I truly didn't see how the shape of the knife indicated which end needed to be cut with. So, yep. I'm apparently not refined enough to use utensils properly. Anyways, back to the meal. The next course consisted of various fruits, some kind of fruity sorbet, and mezcal ice (!). I've never had anything like this before, and it was so interesting and refreshing! The slight smokiness of the mezcal really complimented the flavor of the sorbet. So, so good. Then things got a bit weird. Dessert was some kind of chestnut dish with a meringue crust, topped with a passion fruit sorbet. The sorbet was amazing, and I wish I'd had a bowl of that alone! But the chestnut.. I don't know. It was mousse-like, with candied chestnuts (I think) in the bottom, along with some kind of crumble that was incredibly salty. I really don't know what more to say about this, it's just something to be experienced I think. The meal ended with tiny Pistachio and chocolate/black cherry cakes, which were nothing special. The pistachios themselves, however, were excellent - apparently Sicily has some exceptional pistachios! Who knew? In summary, this was an incredible meal, an incredible experience, and I will always remember it. read more

Made a reservation for 12:00 noon for this Michelin Star restaurant in the heart of Paris. They called us to confirm in the morning and told them we were running a bit late so we moved it to 1:00pm. They easily accommodated. Upon entering this establishment they greet you very well and take your jacket. They told us we could sit anywhere we liked so we chose the corner. The place setting was pretty amazing, it looked very modern. The whole place was dressed in grey and white. Very clean looking. They suggested champagne to start, and we easily accepted. The menu consists of a la carte items or lunch/dinner combinations, with or without wine pairings. Your combination is always a mystery. We chose the summer lunch with the wine pairing, 72€ each. For our summer lunch we received, -small soft loaf of bread with salmon, salmon eggs and cream cheese, with wine pairing -fruit and vegetable salad, with wine pairing -crusty whole wheat bread with salted butter and grain butter -crab fish with wine pairing -cod fish and duck with wine pairing -banana ice cream and merengue cake with mango and passion fruit filling -small pieces of pineapple and strawberry The food was outstanding. So many flavors and cooked perfectly. Service was good, but our glasses of water were not filled promptly. It wasn't till the end of the lunch where bothered to refill them. For customers like us that choose the mystery combinations, I would suggest they present you with a piece of paper listing the different items you will, or have been, served. There were times I could not understand the servers English when asked what food was being served. Total cost for two people for the summer lunch and champagne was approximately $240 USD. read more

One of my husbands bucket list items was going to a Michelin star restaurant. For our anniversary we traveled to Europe. Our first stop was Paris. We found a Michelin star restaurant that serves lunch and takes reservations! This makes eating at one of these amazing restaurants more affordable. To be honest I can't tell you the name of most of the stuff I ate, except for the duck, but the pictures fully do the food justice. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were mind blowing. This was the best meal my husband and I have ever had. Everything was so fresh and the service was incredible. read more

Spectacular experience! Every dish on the tasting menu was a play off a traditional French entree, plated creatively, and paired PERFECTLY with a local wine. The sweetbreads were particularly decadent, tender, and moist with a roasted French tomato that cut the density and drew out the sweetness. We both loved the eel-asparagus-egg course as well; it was very rich while texturally engaging and just so deliciously fatty. No complaints regarding the chef's menu, wine pairings, or setting. The servers also had a refreshing sense of humor, especially when considering how serious the menu and location felt. 100% recommended- even if you have to go way out of your way (like Paris). read more

Food is not bad but not extremely impressive. But two things are funky: firstly, a fly was bugging us for the entire meal. Secondly they have weird restroom policy: instead of allowing us to wait in line, they forced us to stay in seat and allowed us to use restroom under their permission. But in the case of French speaking customers, it seems that this doesn't apply. No thank you to us at all when check out. read more

One of the best meals we had during our trip in Europe! We opted for the menu agape with white truffle pairing The veal tartare was so delectable and beautifully presented. The fish course was also executed very well. I didn't enjoy the duck dish and the dessert was lackluster at best but the over dining experience was quite memorable. read more

My fiancé and I chose this place to be our first Michelin Star restaurant and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere and décor was simple yet still beautiful. We went for lunch and did not have a reservation but that wasn't a problem. We selected one of the prix fixe menus with about 8-10 courses. Each item was prepared and served beautifully. Everything tasted amazing. The service was on point. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to friends. read more

We had the déjeuner de saison for lunch for 39 euros each. Loved that there were many courses to this meal, all presented beautifully, including a palate cleanser before the cheese. Unfortunately the cheese was not to our taste, and I wish the waiter had told us it would be very strong. And the entree was fish with cauliflower and a creamy sauce, all quite bland. Also, we elected not to have wine with our meal, which seemed to offend the waiter who was haughty the entire time we were there. The saving grace was the apricot dessert which was amazing and totally blew my socks off, the decor, and the presentation. Otherwise, I would have only given Agapé 2 stars. read more

This was my first time in a Michelin-starred restaurant and loved the experience. The food was excellent, the ambiance comfortable, and the service outstanding. We opted for the lunch menu, which was truly excellent value at 39 Euros. The menu came with about 4-5 different dishes (choice of duck or fish for the 'main' when we visited) plus a palate cleanser and complementary sweets by the coffee. The flavors were delicate, the textures interesting and the presentation gorgeous. Inside, it's pretty small with most patrons in the 'suits' category. We were lightly dressed up but still stood out as tourists with our comfy shoes and small backpack - not speaking any French as second clue! Personally I really appreciated the service; not stuffy at all. Friendly, a good wine recommendation (2012 Sarnin-Berrux Syrah, 40Euros), and a bit of a show too: 3 waiters that timed their serving (and table clearing) of our group of 6 to perfection. I thought it was kind of fun, although probably intended to be efficient and organized? Only thing that was so-so was us opting for the post meal cheese; that was too much and a suggestion that we could have shared would have been nice. Oh well... overall a great experience! read more

Perhaps I had high expectations for this restaurant, but it just lacked the quality in the food and service that I have experienced at other Michelin Starred establishments. Scampi and chicken was undercooked and remaining dishes didn't feel complete. read more

There's a lot I could write about, overall the experience was not great and the food wasn't memorable. I want to focus on the oddest moment I've probably ever had at a restaurant. My husband and I were given two different menus so we switched to see how they were different. Turns out the only difference was his had prices and mine didn't. The waiter freaked out when we did this saying he now had 'the ladies' menu. The fact that you want to hide your prices from the female gender is not only strange and incredibly sexist but makes me think your prices are too high (they are) and you are afraid of putting them into a coma from sticker shock (turns out this is a legitimate fear). My recommendation would be if you are interested in french food, go somewhere else. This was your basic fine dining restaurant with food you could get at any overpriced restaurant, regardless of country or city. read more

I had a crab starter and a red moulet (fish) for the meal. It was beyond my expectations and totally blew my taste buds away. At first I was disappointed because everything was so small, but since it was exploding with flavor, and they gave a couple tiny (yet still amazing and quite adorable) palette cleansers in between, you felt full at the end anyway. The price was quite a shock: 330€ (which converts to nearly 400$) for two adults and one child, who only ate an appetizer, one glass of red wine, two appetizers and two main meals (veal with lamb, and the other was my red moulet), two desserts, and two waters. In the end, I would highly recommend Agapé, but if you are worried about a budget while traveling, I would not. I would also not recommend it to children, as there isn't really anything that appeals to them. read more

We came here for the fixed price lunch special and it was truly memorable. For 44E we got 2 amuse bouche, a lovely salad of fresh tomatoes and other fruits with burrata, an entree (duck breast or fish) and the most amazing dessert. Service was impeccable and prompt. This was a great deal for the quality of food and for the experience. Highly recommended! read more

Was here for lunch and took advantage of the lunch special (€44 euros for 3 courses). The main was chicken breast, which I thought would be disappointing--how good can chicken breast ever be?--but it was really phenomenal. Incredibly tender and flavorful. The other courses were just as good. A few reviews mention that they were pressured into ordering a la carte instead of the cheaper lunch special, but I didn't encounter that or any other high-pressure up-selling (though we did splurge for some champagne). If their dinner is anywhere near as good as their lunch, I'm sure it'd be totally worth it. Highly recommend this place. read more

By far, one of the most memorable meals I have ever experienced. The service was impeccable and the food was creative and delicious. My friends and I are still talking about our lunch and we visited I've two months ago. We started with an amuse bouche of crab and cauliflower and the flavors were amazing. The presentation was also gorgeous. It was followed by burrata with mango, frog legs, monkfish, and beef. Each dish topped the last and included culinary surprises and unforgettable combinations. The dessert was also out of this world and the chef was a genius in creating flavors. The sommelier paired each dish very well. Each wine enhanced the flavors of the food. We were very impressed and so delighted that we had the chance to visit L'Agape. read more
