Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal.

Unfortunately, it was past 10 pm so a lot of places were closed. We were getting frantic trying to find a restaurant that was still open. We finally pinged this place on GoogleMaps. I have to say, this place is the definition of a hidden gem. It's a small French tapas place off on a side street that unless you were really searching, you would probably walk by it in favor of larger restaurants. I don't know if our waiter was also the owner or the sommelier, but either way, his English was limited. Luckily, my fiancee's sister speaks French so she was able to translate the menu (to an extent). As such, this was a tapas restaurant so everything was small plates and meant to be shared. I don't remember the exact name of everything we ordered, but I remember a Pad Thai, a beef dish, smoked salmon, octopus, and a fried dish (maybe calamari, but I don't remember). The food is excellent and packed with flavor. You'd be surprised how filling these little dishes can be.

Because it is a more authentic place, most waiters didn't speak English. They were helpful to the best of their ability, and I would highly suggest giving them a try even if you're not overly confident in your French!

Service was very nice and presentation was good. But the food was something else. This is a honest review of the Le Mesturet with my family. For starters we shared beef marrow tartine. It came out too salty. The waiter recommended this starter to us and she said it was very popular, so we ordered it. It was at this moment a family dining next to us complained about the food being too salty and strong. The waiters were polite and asked what they could do to accommodate. My initial impression of the family was that they must be very picky about their food, but after our main dishes came out, I understand their reason for complaint. First of all, I asked for my steak to be cooked medium well. But they must've misunderstood it as "medium rare" and was given a steak that was not fully cooked.It's probably on my end due to the limited communication in English, but how its cooked is not the point. The steak was sirloin steak, but came off more as a ribeye to me. The meat was not very tender even if it was undercooked. Seasoning was okay, but meat was very hard to chew for a sirloin. My mother had beef tartar. I also tried it and it also came off as hard to chew and very thick. She said it was very chunky and not much flavor for the meat itself. Maybe helped if it was more thinly sliced. My father had chicken and pilaf. The chicken sauce was good, but the chicken itself was very dry. It was boiled chicken, so the chicken itself had no flavor. Maybe a little seasoning and cooking with oil would help improve the dry texture and bland flavor of the chicken itself. When I tried it, I was left with a disconnected flavor of the dry chicken and the creamy sauce. My sister had the vegetarian yam casserole. It was too sweet to be a meal and wasn't savory. Compared to the rest of the dishes, this may have been the best. We didn't want to lose hope so we finished it with dessert. The dessert was Paris brest and it was nothing special. Could've gotten the same dessert and quality at a random dessert shop. All in all, this restaurant did not fit our taste. Even though it has high reviews, none of the reviews seemed manipulated or fake. Maybe it's a nice restaurant for locals or for native French people or maybe we ordered wrong combination of food. Maybe it's because we came during the holidays. Who knows? But food overall didn't fulfill our expectations after reading the reviews which had a 4.4 rating (Our source was Google Maps). But this is a review from a foreigner's/ tourist's perspective. I gave it two stars because customer service was good. But the actual food did not match up. In the end, it was a waste of money and time for our 2 night family trip in Paris. I wanted to post this honest review for any other tourists planning to dine here or have dined here and experienced the same quality of food. read more

Depuis lors, nous y retournons régulièrement, n'hésitons pas à le faire découvrir aux amis et même aux collègues et tout le monde y retourne car l'essayer, c'est l'adopter. Dès l'entrée, l'accueil et la décoration, aussi chaleureux l'un que l'autre, contribuent au plaisir du repas qui va suivre. Puis vient la carte et ses plats de caractère qui allient modernité et tradition, régulièrement renouvelée pour intégrer les produits de saison et une cave qui ne peut laisser personne indifférent, le tout pour tous les appétits et toutes les bourses. Si vous trouvez l'endroit bruyant, c'est que très vite la clientèle se détend et se sent "comme à la maison", alors, on se laisse aller, on parle fort, on rit... L'ambiance d'une auberge de campagne.... mais au cœur de Paris. Merci pour toutes ces années et toutes celles à venir... read more

I'm a big fan of Le Mesturet and make a point of visiting every time I am in Paris. It's deceptively spacious, authentic and has a good variety. There's an excellent wine list, which is not overly pricey. I love the decor. The staff are superb and visibly hard-working. Their work-rate is phenomenal, although I suppose it has to be! Their English is good. We've visited at all times of day for anything from an aperitif alone to full-scale dinner. It's one of these ones you wish you could take home with you. Except if it was in Britain, it wouldn't be the same. Even the best restaurants in Britain can't seem to get the bread right. The locals will no doubt know of better places and I am just being a tourist but, given that the clientelle is largely local, surely that can only be a good sign. read more

Sans plus, le vin choisi était vraiment pas top...( un pinot noir 2007...

Je suis un fan du Mesturet. Dans ce restaurant de gastronomie française, tout est fait à partir de produits frais, le service est rapide et souriant et la carte des vins est gourmande, avec des dégustations régulières. Les viandes sont délicieuses et très bien cuites (bavette, agneau, magrets..) et les accompagnement originaux. L'originalité, c'est ce qui caractérise bien le Mesturet: je me souviens d'un velouté de blettes succulent, ou encore de bugnes lyonnaises accompagnées d'une confiture de Chenas faite maison. Un régal! Bref, un restaurant vraiment à découvrir. D'autant que les formules pour manger "sur le zinc" sont imbattables en terme de qualité-prix! read more
