    Salad
    Rena E.

    After a few hours of seeing Paris by foot and tour bus and following 2.5 hours at the Louvre, we stumbled upon this restaurant. Needless to say, we were famished and thirsty from all that sightseeing. The restaurant was pretty nice. Upon entering the foyer, we were seated almost immediately. The restaurant was somewhat crowded, but we were able to get a window seat overlooking the outdoor seating. The service was good. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. We had a great waiter, who was very conversational and funny. Since it was still early afternoon, we ordered a Caesar salad and a hamburger and fries. The salad was a good portion size. I was told that the burger and fries were both good. Though the restaurant was not on the list of things to do, we were glad that we found it by chance.

    Had dessert on my first day in Paris. Wonderful restaurant. Had a very nice waiter. Great experience. Friendly and professional service. Pastry was great. Highly recommend

    Entrecote
    Vadim B.

    Touristy place with average food but a great view across the river. We dropped by La Fregate in August 2023 after a walking tour over Paris. It was clear it was purely touristy place, but the view was great and we tired and hungry. The menu had some classic French items and we went for it. The food turned out to be average but good enough and we enjoyed the view of Louvre and Tuileries across the river. Overall, the restaurant is ok to have a quick bite in the center of Paris but keep the food expectations moderate. Duck Breast under Raspberry Sauce - this one was good and tasty though quite tough. Raspberry sauce was great! Pizza with Goat Cheese and Honey - good. Nice combo of goat cheese and honey complimenting each other. Entrecote - this was the worst. It was hardly chewable and our 15y-old son ended up leaving the restaurant hungry :(

    Pizza de chorizo (pepperoni) & sausage (ham)

    The environment is very live immediately there is a lot of people seated everywhere - staff/service was nice & attentive. We tried the pizzas & they were both really delicious!!! We were not able to finish everything in one sitting so we took it to- go, cocktail was also good as well! One con was definitely the cleanliness especially of the restrooms, it was very dirty. Other than that we enjoyed the food & service was good.

    Nice little place to sit, chill and watch the world go by. Crepe Suzette good, cider too. Just to cool down and enjoy. Friendly service

    Pizza with chèvre, honey and walnuts
    Adrienne G.

    Amazing pizza selection & more than decent pie. Mr & I chose the chèvre, honey & walnuts. The chèvre was abundant as were the honey & walnuts. Filling & flavorful! Fun people watching, being on one of the main streets and the waitstaff was jovial and extremely nice Only downer was no French beers.....they offered the standards like Heineken or Guinness & we'd been hoping for something local Other than that, dine in or take out, we'll be back for sure

    Wonderful location along the Seine, across from the louvre. I went for a late night bite with my mom, I had a pasta dish and she enjoyed the duck. Both were absolutely delicious, but let's focus on the duck. A fruity raspberry sauce paired with lemon mashed potato's complimented the duck beautifully. I would recommend and will be back!

    Beef bourguignon
    Maren B.

    Excellent service, beautiful location on the Seine, and delicious hearty meal! My husband and I loved the beef bourguignon! My husband's lasagna was good, but he liked my dinner more. The meat was so tender it fell apart. The vegetables were all perfectly cooked. The sauce, mmm, so delicious! A really fantastic meal!

    Came here for lunch and really enjoyed the food. I really love frites, it was really crispy. Also had their Brie sandwich which was good.

    We stopped in for lunch after touring the musee d'Orsay. This place is ideally located... right across from the Louve. Great for people watching! Staff was pleasant. The waiter forgot that I asked for balsamic dressing on the side. The standard dressing was placed on my salad. Once notified, the salad was replaced very quickly. Each dish was delicious! Reasonably priced.

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.

    Food--quite good. Service--rather odd…read more My husband had made a reservation at Le Fumoir well in advance of our visit to Paris. He chose it because of the reviews and also the fact that the seating area layout seemed to provide more space between tables than is sometimes the case. When we entered, a server directed us to the host station by the bar. My husband had printed out his email with the address & the reservation, and he had made some notes on it about things to consider on the menu. We were seated at a nice window table A woman did come right away to ask about sparkling or still water. Wines are by the glass--no bottles were listed that we saw. The server just stood over us for several minutes while we were looking at the menu, which was a little uncomfortable. So my husband explained we would need a few minutes. She seemed offended. Then the male host came over and insisted on seeing the paper my husband had with the email. He took it out of my husband's hand and started trying to read my husband's notes. I asked if there was a problem with the reservation--had they found it? The man said something about wanting to know if it was prepaid (do they do gift certificates in Paris? We had no idea what he meant). I said no, it was not, so he left again. The menu is prix fixe. A different server came to take our order. She was more upbeat and jovial. The amuse bouche was a pickled herring. I ordered the pumpkin veloute soup, which was yummy. Then I had the vegetarian plate, which was fine but not memorable: squash, mushrooms, and an egg on top. My husband ordered the sausage plate. At the end, I requested the check (l'addition"). The server asked twice if we wanted to add a tip to put on the card. I have not had that happen before in Paris, where the tipping conventions are different, and a 15% service charge is included in the prices by law. I asked if it was not included ("compris") and she said no, it was not. I did leave a cash tip. But all in all, some of those awkward moments with the staff detracted from the experience.

This restaurant is absolutely packed and I don't know what % are Walk ins but my hubby booked the restaurant a month in advance. The food is average and the service lacking. Our dinner lasted almost 3hours and that's not because we were slow but rather, the wait staff was missing. One party beside us left after about more than 45 mins of the waiter not showing up to get their orders. The restaurant itself was unique though. Where we sat looked like a library before with books all over the room. It could be that we came at a bad time, nonetheless, there's other restaurants in Paris to try before I come back to Le Fumoir.

A reservation happened to open up for lunch while I was in Paris and we got to enjoy the lunch tasting menu with 5 courses (+2 extra small plates to begin). It is a blind tasting menu, so they give you the menu at the end of the experience which I enjoyed. It was very plant-forward and used lots of fresh seasonal vegetables. The zucchini in white bean sauce was one of the best bites I've had, and I couldn't believe how good just zucchini could taste. The seasonal vegetables plate was another highlight, with cucumbers pickled with szechuan peppercorn, shiso leaves with a sweet paste inside, and the crispiest tempura I've had. Incredible meal and service in a beautiful setting. You can tell the care and effort they put into each dish and the entire experience.

While it was not on the hottest week in Paris, it was close with the temps being in the low 90s. I was so excited that we were able to get a reservation. We arrived to be seated by the open window and every table was filled. With a few minutes, we realized that there was no AC and because the tables were so close together, there was no air circulating and it became sweltering. Think your legs and thighs are sweating onto the seat...no joke. Later, as the other diners cleared out, it cooled down significantly. Today's menu was vegetables. I didn't expect the majority of the courses to be veggies. As one reviewer noted, it can be hit and miss based on your palate. As a meat and seafood lover, this was a huge miss for me. The raw tuna served early was good without being very memorable. At one point when this "brown" dish was served to our neighboring tables, we were so excited that it was finally a filet. Nope, it was eggplant! The eventual protein was sweetbreads in a lettuce wrap. Very flavorful but was scared to tell the teen and my sis what sweetbreads were so that they would eat it!! The pacing was troublesome where we were all super hungry and you would get 3 pieces of lettuce!! Very well cooked lettuce but still three pieces of lettuce. The amuse bouche probably was a hint of what was to come...it was essentially the water from boiling veggies - no real flavor. Kinda reminded me of L'Arpege where we dined years ago but simpler in preparation. It was one too many vegetables cooked - poor son who was 7 at the time had to eat a whole plate of BUTTERED vegetables. Wished that we had hit them on a seafood night or gone to Clamato. The ingredients and cooking were both well-thought out and prepared. Just not what I was expecting. I was hoping for a Yamt'Cha type restaurant so my miss on research.

I'd definitely go there again but probably won't because their are so many restaurants to try.
