7 hour Lamb
Gerry P.

for some 10 years or more since they have moved into this location, it has been my favorite restaurant in Paris. The seating is tight., not complaining, just grateful as each time I have been there I have made a new friend family run business is like a well oiled machine that never slows down on their performance of fine delivery of an exquisite meal. I look forward to my next visit.

Really good restaurant with fabulous food. Best to have a reservation as it's small and nearly always busy. Service is good. The duck terrine is absolutely scrumptious. I had the lamb that had been slow cooked for Seven hours surrounded by sautéed potatoes and vegetables. Absolutely delicious, the sauce the texture, the flavour all fantastic. My wife had the cod which was also so tasty. The Cotes du Bourg red wine was also magnificent. The open kitchen is also pretty cool to watch the chef at work.

We came here for dinner on our first night in Paris after our friend recommended it and I'm glad we did, we made our reservation earlier in the day and we were able to sit for a dinner that night at 9pm, the seating here is tight so you will be very close to the next table in most cases but with that being said it does feel cozy yet comfortable. The staff was all nice, they spoke English and had English menus as well. We had some wine by the glass for about 5 euro each, for entrees I had the rib eye steak with potatoes and legume with chimichurri sauce, my wife had the risotto with chicken, both dishes were amazing and were the perfect serving size, for dessert my wife had the pistachio creme brûlée which she really enjoyed, I had the caramelized apple with almond and vanilla ice cream which was amazing! This place is great it was our best meal in Paris and is a must visit!

Warm milk and white chocolate cake

Last night in Paris we came her for dinner. Before you go call and make a reservation!!! Such a great dining experience, very small place so the interior is warm. The design is awesome! Wine boxes all over the walls and old magazine pages made into a wall paper. Very modern and hip with some classic pieces throughout. My aunt and uncle have been coming here since it was in the original location. Both the chef/owner and waiter (related to the owner) knew them and said hi. Food was amazing, semi open kitchen where you can see everything being made. I got the angel hair pasta incrusted shrimp with guacamole for my starter and chicken with gnocchi for my main. We ended with a warm milk and white chocolate cake and fruit tart for dessert. Everything was amazing. We started with champagne, had a bottle of red and they gave us a complimentary dessert wine that paired with what we got. Not sure if that the norm or if it was because it was my birthday.

Awesome place staff, kitchen and everyone was great. Just stumbled upon it and it was the best meal we had in Paris!

Tentative staff, delicious food and cozy atmosphere. We would definitely recommend it.

We stumbled upon this excellent restaurant in the trendy Marais neighbourhood, near Place des Vosges. This gem of a place felt cosy, rustic and edgy all at once, a stylish feat that perhaps only the French can pull off. We perused the 2 course lunch prix fixe which was a very reasonable 16,50€ but as we had already made dessert plans elsewhere, we opted instead to order à la carte. I sampled a King Prawn Salad, a deliciously wholesome and rather substantial appetizer for only 13,50€.The crisp salad leaves and tomatoes were garden fresh, the guacamole tasted freshly made. The featured large prawns had a salinity and sweetness that is reminiscent of the sea. Flavour aside, they were also first wrapped in angel hair pasta then fried, offering up a superb textural contrast to the rest of the salad. Delightful. We also enjoyed an outstanding Grilled Rib-Eye Steak which was not only succulent but also full of flavour. Even the accompanying sautéed haricot verts and potatoes were incredibly yummy, as was the carrot and sweet potato mash. Last but not least, we savoured a Grilled Duck Breast which was remarkably tender and juicy despite us requesting for it to be cooked well done. It was perfectly executed, and as usual, the equally scrumptious accompaniments - sautéed mushrooms and peppers, and mashed potatoes were all vying to steal the show! Kudos to the chef at L'Ange 20 whose approach to French cuisine is refreshingly contemporary. Coupled with top notch ingredients and a deft hand, the food here is spectacularly good. Another positive sign - ardent local fans. Earlier on, we were standing outside studying its menu and wondering whether to go in...when an elderly French patron came out singing praises of its food. A ringing endorsement from a very satisfied customer.

7 hour lamb over roasted veg
Neil M.

My wife and I were here on our last night in Paris and this place stunned us with how amazing it was. Small, quaint place that allows you to peak in the kitchen while your meal is prepared. We didn't have a reservation, but they sat us right next to the bar right away. Nicholas ( I believe was our server) was super friendly and helped us right away. My wife knew she wanted the risotto, I was up in the air over the lamb or the duck. He said without question to get the lamb, and was he ever right. The flavors of the meat were impeccable. There was a nice pepper corn finish on top of the meat that was a terrific accent. There was a sauce underneath the vegetables that I could drink up. The only thing bad about the dish was that I finished it too soon. My wife couldn't stop raving about the risotto, and so I tried it and I could have easily stolen her dish from here and finished it. There was so much mushroom flavor! Then there was the deserts. Just leave room. This place was super local, very welcoming, and we've already decided that when we come back to Paris we are coming back here for the rest of the menu.

Delicious food, exceptional service, I'm coming again for sure. The bartender was very nice and helpful, 100% recommend

L'Ange 20 was recommended by my wife's coworker so we made reservations a few months prior to our arrival. Located fairly close to Louis XIII square, this restaurant is fairly accessible from the subway stop. The restaurant is fairly small since they really pack in the tables and quickly filled up shortly after we arrived. One thing to note is that it can get stuffy inside so do dress comfortably. I started my meal with their onion soup which was one of the best I've ever had. Most places tend to prepare this dish on the salty side but L'Ange 20 had it seasoned perfectly. If only the restaurant had AC it would've been better. Be warned that it is rich so I started to get full after eating the entire bowl of the soup. For my main dish, I opted once again for steak thus ordering their ribeye. The ribeye was well seasoned but the chimichurri or pesto sauce (whatever it was) was hella tasty. The green beans were sauteed perfectly. I wished they would've served fries with this dish instead of the pan fried potatoes. For dessert we opted to try their pistachio creme brulee and an espresso to go along with it. The espresso was tasty and though the creme brulee was good, the texture seemed to be slightly off. I had expected a more smooth custardy texture. Would recommend this restaurant but do make reservations ahead of time as this place gets super packed. Service was amazing and everyone there was super friendly.

This was one of the best Paris restaurants we went to. The quality of the food was superb. You must try the foie gras here, they had the best I had in my whole trip. It's worth going to this place just for the foie gras. This is a local gem worth indulging in.

Escargot and gizzards.

Dinner at L'Ange 20 was a gift from my son for my trip to Paris with my girlfriend. We had a great time, great service and great food! Everything we had was really delicious, and the lamb fondant dish was amazing, highly recommend!!

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street.

Vibey 30 somethings and those of us tourists that have begrudgingly figured it out. It is close quarters inside, but when in Rome. My bestie from middle school and I shared the escargot (bless you) pasta, which was delicious, and the duck, which was exceptional. We split a very fairly priced bottle of wine and ended the night with the scoop of mousse. If they could figure out how to do that intravenously, that'd be great. The mousse reminded me of a great guilty pleasure, which is eating straight out of the can of Duncan Hines chocolate frosting (ask me how I know, I do this often, going to rebrand it to me being European).

The menu features French classics and there are vegetarian options. To be honest, maybe I'm not the best to right this review because French food isn't my favorite - regardless, my main complaint is just that the food lacked the extra flavor I was hoping for but it was still solid. The Ravioli Dauphine was perfectly cheesy, just needed some extra salt. The Chickpea Fries and Warm Goat Cheese were nice starters, and I liked the bread basket that was given freely - especially the inclusion of a walnut raisin bread. NOW, the star of the show and the reason you're probably here: the Chocolate Mousse. Yes it is worth the hype. Only complaint - we had some leftover and they refused to box it for us.

We sat in the back (not the very back), but the front area looks very cozy --mostly reserved for French speakers, it appeared. We ate here twice in one week. Once on our own, and once with friends visiting Paris the same week as us. Two VERY different experiences. The first experience was lovely, friendly, and absolutely delicious. 4.5 stars. Simple classic French cuisine. We shared the mini raviolis stuffed with mushroom and a foie gras sauce. Wow. And shared their famous beef bourguignon. The tender beef, the sauce! I love the way they plate it too. Delicious. And a bottle of Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil (Loire Valley). The second visit (3 star) was very different from the first visit. Less friendly, borderline rude, took a long while for table service even though it was not busy, rolled their eyes about us sharing and at our wine bottle selection. We didn't feel welcomed. Food remains good, but not outstanding. Roll of the dice on service. I'd say if you're in the area and you don't have to wait it'd be worthwhile, otherwise seek a less touristy spot.
