We ordered the risotto, ham/cheese like sandwich and the steak with caramelized onions. The sandwich and steak came with fries, and I swear those were some of the best fries I've had. The food wasn't overly seasoned and maybe could've even used a pinch of salt here and there, but nothing too bad which would warrant a bad review because the food was still flavorful! Our server was good and we all left full and happy.

It was a…read morerecommendation from our air bnb host and we arrived to Paris in the evening so we decided to check it out. For this being a first Paris restaurant experience, it was a little difficult just getting here and the whole menu being in French and not knowing what to order or if we are ordering right. But, I am SO glad we came here and it truly was an authentic French dinner experience! The waiter was extremely nice when he realized we didn't speak French very well and needed help with the menu. He talked about the dishes they had and the food we ordered was amazing. The poor quality photos show just how good it was and in the moment we were while there. The dessert was one of the best desserts I've had, it just melted in your mouth. I highly recommend this spot for a nice dinner and will definitely be back on our next trip to Paris!

The restaurant was off of the seine nearby the Notre Dame. The service was very attentive and welcoming. I ordered the escargot to start, which was not my favorite. I should always know never to get escargot not baked in its shell. This was cooked in a milky green broth. Not a fan. Followed by duck, with was topped with a piece of foie gras poêlé. Which was the reason I came to this restaurant. I really enjoyed this dish. And I also got a side of mache salad, which I normally love but this one was so sandy. I don't think they washed it properly. Overall service was excellent. Loved the duck with the foie gras poêlé.

It was my husband's birthday and we got the molten chocolate cake and they brought it out with sparkles singing happy birthday.. it was a surprise we weren't expecting and it truly warmed our hearts.

Virtus did a great job on their flavors and textures from their first bites to desserts. My favorite was the turbot with the tangy-creamy sauce, fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked fish. The dessert was very creative with the origami-like crisp. Staff was very welcoming and patience to our limited French vocabulary which we really appreciate on this trip despite trying to learn before hand. Staff was very attentive as well and offered an orange wine for us to try as well as birthday some birthday treats. For drinks I also got the non-alcoholic cherry mocktail, which was not too sweet and went well with most of the dishes on the menu. I'm very glad we started off our trip with Virtus because Camille and Frédéric's team exceeded our expectations and set the bar high for all the remaining Michelins that we will be going to the rest of this trip. Ambience was pretty laid back and not stuffy, I highly recommend giving Virtus a try!

Je m'y suis arrêté pour un déjeuner rapide en semaine, mais à cause du mauvais temps, toutes les…read moreplaces étaient à l'intérieur. Et, malgré les grandes fenêtres et le mur en miroir, l'espace intérieur semblait un peu sombre. Le service a bien commencé, et chaque plat était intéressant et bien présenté. J'ai apprécié le rouget au fenouil et le veau Basquaise. Étrangement, pour chaque plat, la saucière était laissée à table, ce que je trouve rarement dans ce genre de restaurant. Je trouve que c'est similaire, mais en moins pire, à un restaurant qui propose des salières et des poivrières : si le client a besoin de modifier le goût de l'assiette, comment peut-il pleinement apprécier la vision du chef ? À mesure que le restaurant se remplissait, le service est devenu inégal. Notre table et trois autres personnes ont attendu nos additions pendant 20 minutes, une fois que tous nos cafés et petits fours ont été débarrassés. L'homme à la table voisine a finalement commencé à agiter sa carte de crédit en l'air pour attirer l'attention. Dommage. Mais la nourriture était excellente, malgré quelques faux pas. Je devrai y retourner. / I stopped in for a quick weekday lunch, but due to the weather, all seating was inside. And, despite the large windows and mirrored wall, the inside space did feel a bit dark. Service began well, and each dish was interesting and plated well. I enjoyed the red mullet with fennel and the Basque veal. Strangely, for each course, the saucière was left at the table - something I rarely find at this level of restaurant. I feel it is similar, but not as bad, as a restaurant providing salt and pepper shakers: if the guest needs to alter the taste of the plate, how can they fully appreciate the chef's vision? As the restaurant filled, the service became uneven. Our table and three others waited for our bills for 20 minutes after all of our coffee and petit fours were cleared away. The man at the table next to me finally began waving his credit card in the air to attract attention. Unfortunate. But the food was excellent, despite a few missteps by the servers. I'll have to return. 2025 03 28. M1.

Michelin Quality at Bistro Prices!…read more How this place does not have a Michelin star is beyond me. Five course fixed tasting menu plus an amouse bouche for 65 euros. We started with a carrot and blue lobster soup. Then langoustines, a foie gras dish, cod, medallion of pork tenderloin and desert. All outstanding. They offer a wine pairing with each course, but we went for a bottle of Champagne-- we are in Paris after all. And of course, since we were bursting at the seams -- freshly baked madeleines still warm from the oven. Service was impeccable. Reservations are a must. Once the foodie gliteratti discover this place the prices will jump and you won't be able to get in. GO NOW!

Everyone gets the same thing. This style of service helps cut cost (less food waste, less man power needed for the prep). If you are not picky, then the 5 courses for 59 euro is a fantastic deal. We started with a little amuse bouche of meaty carrot saffron soup with jamon and chicken foam. Then came the sweet perfectly seared scallops in a cream sauce with savory hen of the woods mushrooms. there were several scallops in there, so the courses were generously portioned. After scooping up every bit of cream sauce, next was the tender buttery foie gras, with a little diced mango on the side, so it had just a hint of sweet and sour. Fish dish followed and we received a nice filet of pollack. Pollack is a cheap fish, usually made into fish sticks and imitation crab meat in US, but fresh pollack treated the right way was delicious and just as tasty as cod or bass. Last savory dish was seared beef filet, neatly stacked potato pave, sunchoke, mushroom, and artichoke. It was delicious from start to finish. The dessert, poached pears with chocolate sorbet and whipped cream was perhaps the weakest course. My best food friend didn't care for the watery pear and I thought it was ok.
