While our waiter seated us, the chef/owner was busy preparing the dishes for the evening. You could feel the passion and intensity while working in the kitchen. If this restaurant had cared about white table clothes and those things, it surely would be a Michelin level restaurant. As it stands, you get Michelin level quality food for an extremely reasonable price. Make sure you get a reservation beforehand since many were turned away at the door hoping to snag a seat on a beautiful evening.

On yelp/google/tripadvisor this restaurant is highly rated but unfortunately it did not meet the…read morehigh expectations we had. Food was a 4/5 but the service was the deciding factor why our experience is rated only as a 3/5. Food: The appetizer and main course were quite good! I ordered lamb, which was chewy and a little bit "gamey" at some point. But overall good taste. The dessert was excellent (as most desserts in France). Overall I'd rate it a 4/5 Service: On google as well as Yelp this restaurant is highly rated! However, the service didn't meet our expectations. It sometimes felt condescending (probably without intent), drinks got forgotten, entrées/plats weren't served as ordered and the check was given even though we didn't ask for it (this is not the US). Also they didn't even ask if we wanted any coffee or anything else before giving us the check. 3/5 Atmosphere: Cute small restaurant. Nice "booth" inside the restaurant and also some places outside on the street.

Super stylish restaurant located in the Hoxton. Turns into a night life spot with a dj on Thursday…read moreevenings. And once the Dj set starts there is no service and you have to order at the bar. Prices listed online and on their menu are different at the bar. Breakfast was hit and miss. Eggs Benedict was terrible. Poached egg was overcooked and not running. The hollandaise had a fluffy texture. And something (I believe the seeds they sprinkled on top) was soo bitter it rendered the whole dish inedible. On a positive note, the fluffy pancakes were delicious and a very sweet treat.

In this context, "Safe" means uncreative, bland, institutional food. Again, not bad...but such restaurants wouldn't usually be my first choice (except in Singapore! ). It turns out Rivié, would be one of those exceptions: fun, creative, delicious, and with great service! In any case, I met up with a friend here for a light bite and some business discussions. My friend was running late. I informed the staff, and I while I was waiting, the staff was very attentive and brought me complimentary, fresh bread and a carafe of water. They checked-in a few times to see if I wanted anything while I waited. The place was buzzing with activity. In lesser places I likely would have been ignored. In any case my friend arrived ( blame it on Paris traffic on a rainy day!). She ordered a Cucumber salad w/crumbled crab, and caviar. I ordered Oeuf meurette which is essentially a soft-fried egg tempura style followed by Seiches Snackées or cuttlefish w/chickpeas, arugula, peanuts, black ink juice. Very Creative!! We wrapped up our late lunch and lingered at the table after an expresso for a few hours. The atmosphere can get quite loud, but being only two, we were in a quite corner away from the bustle of the larger groups lunching ( of which there were many). In fact almost every group was four or more people from the nearby Techie companies surrounding the area. Silicon Valley?....naw...they weren't wearing Patagonia vests nor hoodies... and were mostly all French....better dressed, and better manners. No parking. Full, huge bar, various seating areas including patio dining when the weather is good. Underground Cav for large groups/ private functions.

This restaurant is nestled in a small residential area near the Lamarck-Caulaincourt Metro station off of the 12 line. Once you get out of Metro, you go down the famous steps (featured in many movies) and make a left on the main road. It is a small place, so it is highly recommended to make reservations. I was lucky to get a seat on a Thursday evening (22.00 service) as my best friend is a local here. FUN FACT: the menu continues to change everyday, week, month, etc. There is no staple dish as they continuously experiment with flavors. So, when you go and you like a particular dish, it might not be there again the next time you go. The dishes I chose were: escargot for starters, and veal with cabbage for the entree. For the drink, I had absinthe prepared the French way! Everything was like artwork with tastes to blow you away. Plates were cleared without problem. The restaurant waiters had much patience in serving families with children. Its a small place but they do their best to accommodate!
