It is not a place you just pass by, as it is down a dead end alleyway. The stroganoff is still creamy, savory, tender, and delicious. The potato croquettes still accompany it wonderfully. The filet was tender and cooked as ordered. The soup - in 2025 it was the lentils with foie gras, but in 2026 it was the red kuri squash (aka Hokkaido squash) soup that was an absolute joy. As in 2011 and 2025, we came twice and I'll be damned if I didn't order the same thing at both visits. We were too stuffed to get dessert in 2026, but in 2025 we had the souffle and it was delicious. All of it paired with reasonably priced Bordeaux reds and really friendly and attentive service. It is one of my favorite restaurants. BTW they now take credit cards.

Fun dinner. How…read moreabout starting your meal with dessert for once ? At Privé you can, sorta. The entire menu is not what it seems. The entrees and mains look like dessert, and the desserts look like a main dish. We walked up right at 7 pm when they opened and were lucky enough to be seated at one of three tables that weren't reserved for the evening. Lacking a full grasp of the French language was not a problem, our waiter's English with Aussie accent was great. He answered any menu questions and offered a couple of recommendations. I went with a single glass of wine, Debbie tried the flight. He customized it some by her food order and that she preferred all reds. Then the food entertainment begins.......watching various plates go by, seeing fancy desserts, but knowing they weren't really sweets. The cappuccino was a cream of mushroom soup. Gaufre, similar to a waffle, was toast and foie gras. Main dishes looked like profiteroles and churros was a little like a seared steak tartare and French fries. Truly appeared as a plate of sweets. The Paris Brest is supposed to be a French dessert, made of choux pastry. Mine was duck with a confit pear. We decided to share a dessert. What looked like Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes, their Steak Purée, was a rich chocolaty brownie with creme de banana and caramel sauce. It was fun and unique. The restaurant is cute. Would make a fun date night if in the states.

I love telling people about the concept for this place. I say: "It's a restaurant where the entrees…read morelook like desserts, and the desserts look like entrees." They get confused for a moment as they try to process precisely what that means, but then once they realize, they're amazed! This was my reaction too upon discovering Prive de Dessert, and I continue to talk about it one week later because the food lived up to the hype. Now I'll admit, some dishes were executed more successfully than others. For example, my significant other got the tiramisu, and it was incredibly on point. If you didn't know it was lamb tartar, you'd be in for a rude awakening when digging in. My appetizer - the pain perdu - was also a dead ringer for sweet French toast, but turned out to be an incredibly tasty savory dish. For the main course, I had the rice pudding (actually risotto). This was some of the creamiest, richest risotto I've ever let past my lips. I could not physically finish the dish, and this is one of the few times in my life that I genuinely felt bad for leaving what was left on my plate. My SO had the Baba au Rhum (more lamb), which least effectively fulfilled the gimmick (i.e. it looked like a ring of meat, not dessert). But still tasty! And for dessert, the pesto pasta. This was honestly too sharply citrus-flavored for me (and a tad too sweet), so I only had a few bites. But the SO loved it! The meringue as "cheese" was a nice touch. This is a fun stop if you're in Paris. Solid food, cool concept, and overall a unique French restaurant.

The waiter was excellent in the way French waiters can be, quick to take the order and not hovering. He was very accommodating of my somewhat imperfect French. The ambiance was simple but had some nice artistic choices. We loved this place. It's simple and has a variety of foods.
