Intimate restaurant with blue banquettes & clean lines; we chuckled at the banana leaf design above the paneled walls that matched Blanche's bedroom wallpaper in "The Golden Girls." I didn't try my dining companion's Scotch Quail Eggs (18 € for three eggs, halved) but I did taste their Fish & Chips (26 €) which was pleasantly mild & came with a tangy tartare sauce. My Onion & Stilton Tart (24 €) was incredibly savory & delicious. Texturally interesting with the creamy bleu cheese & cooked-down onions to offset the flakey tart & frisée salad atop. Perfect restaurant for when you want to deviate from classic Parisian fare but still want a sophisticated meal. Charming, lovely server, as well.

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.

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.

My husband and I shared the Liver, pork chops, and white asparagus. All were tasty but the Liver was by far the best thing I tasted while in Paris. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a fan of liver in general and this completely changed my mind. It was cooked to perfection and the mixture of flavors was spot on. The only issue we encountered was when we were presented the check at the end of the night. We had proactively asked that it be split by couples, however that didn't happen off the bat so it took a bit longer than usual to check out.

After our first glass, our glasses remained empty for nearly an hour across several courses despite repeated requests. Meanwhile the sommelier continued serving other tables and even socializing with coworkers while our glasses sat empty in front of us.

We didn't have reservations but we got there about 40 min before they closed, so they were able to accommodate us. The meal was AMAZING! Probably the best bowl of soup I've ever had. The steak was savory, well seasoned (no sauce needed) and cooked exactly as requested. If you don't eat beef like me, the vegetable accras and sweet potato puree were divine, never tasted anything like that before. Unfortunately we already had a few cocktails before coming to the restaurant so we didn't try the drinks, but all the tables around us did and the drinks looked great as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)

It was totally sublime, texture, flavor, tenderness and the way it was cook. It was absolute perfection. The service was top notch, the selection of wines was fantastic.

In my opinion, this restaurant is on par with any Michelin Star restaurant I have visited and it did not break the bank. It is also close to a ton of fun bars and right down the street practically from Harry's New York Bar. Loved it!!!

Maybe because of a language barrier? But it made the overall experience awful and English or not a Michelin star rated restaurant should have service better than Chick Fila. Water never filled wine never filled. Had to ask multiple times. Waiters rushing around bumping into each other looked flustered. Didn't make us feel attended to at all. The meal took 5 hours for a three course meal...really? I mean I understand a 20 course meal would take long but it felt like and eternity between each course and we were with 8 people talking. I was hoping everything would be timed well considered they heckled us everyday for us to pick menu 1 or menu 2 which was very inconvenient as when you are traveling it's tough to communicate with the restaurant. Anyway it didn't even make a difference. The food was good but nothing to make me want to come back for recommend it for the service. It made the food unenjoyable. We wanted to have a great Michelin star experience in Paris but I'd rather go to any regular restaurant and pay 1/8 the price for better service. I'd say if you are foreign avoid this restaurant like the plague!

Disappointed with our dining experience at a 1-star Michelin rated restaurant…read more Was on a trip with my wife celebrating our birthdays and wedding anniversary. We were a couple of days into our trip and was looking forward to a Michelin starred meal after many meals at smaller, quaint restaurants. Suffice to say, we had better service at small eateries where 12-16 tables were managed by a single wait staff. Encountered: - Dropped utensils on us and on our clothes while the staff collected plates. No apologies given. - Forced my wife to individually hand her various plates/utensils, over my shoulder, to the staff because they were unable to travel 2 feet around the table to collect it. - Lack of general courtesy that we observed other tables received who appeared to be french-speaking patrons.
