Espresso
Carole M.

So cool Indoor only Make reservations- only a few tables One block from les Tuileries park This little restaurant offer more Soufflés you can imagine Menu or a la carte, variety. On the mid to high range price for lunch, the experience is worth it Friendly staff and large portions Come hungry leave happy We ordered the menu- 3 soufflés for 40 euros.

The amazing Grand Marnier souffle
Med F.

An iconic restaurant with traditional French decor. This must be my 10th visit over the years and the food and service remain outstanding. For all souffle lovers, this is a must visit. Different kinds of savory ones like their famous cheese souffle and the beef bourguignon. The sweet ones are amazing too, especially the one with Grand Marnier and the other with apples and calvados. Not crazy expensive for the quality of food and experience.

This is a must go if you are in Paris. The soufflés are beyond amazing but make sure you have a reservation. They are always full because this is tge very best of Paris if you like soufflé. They have other dish's too and the place is beautiful and quaint. Nicholas is the manager and he is wonderful as is the rest of the servers. They always give us the table by the window which my wife loves. If you are in Paris you have to enjoy the beef Bourguignon and then the desserts

Menu 2/2025

Le Soufflé is in a side street near the Louvre and while it seems tiny, it has a back room. Reservations are recommended though, because it fills up quickly and they'd prefer you order everything at once since soufflés take a while to perfect. The service is outstanding, the restaurant itself is cute, and food was delicious and unlike anything I've ever had. The hubby and I shared a bottle of wine, a cup of soup, 2 entrees, and a dessert. Dessert and the soup were the highlight of the evening, though everything was very good. We started with the French onion soup which was cheesy, perfectly salted, onion forward, and had the chew of large crostinis inside. We then ordered the steak au poivre which was decent. The steak was a bit overcooked but we enjoyed the pepper cream sauce and such it was served on the steak and not in a ramekin. The savory soufflé was delicious and had chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce. It was my first time having a proper soufflé and while delicious, I missed having texture in my meal. Last came the dessert soufflé which was the Grand Marnier, and is the most popular dish AND they leave the bottle of liqueur at your table. They poked a few holes on top, doused the soufflé with Grand Marnier and would've kept on going had I not stopped them. It was not overly sweet, creamy, had a nice taste, and paired well with the espresso at the end of the meal. It's quite an experience and such a unique menu that I'd recommend this place to anyone who's never had a soufflé before. Try it once.

Came to Paris twice, came to this restaurant twice! All you can add Grand Marnier to your Grand Marnier soufflé is a must try!

Foie gras and fig jam
Julian C.

Amazing soufflés - pistachio and chocolate is a must try! Foi gras and fig jam mini souffle was quite nice. Subtle richness from the foie gras and really tasty fig jam paired with it. Chicken and mushroom souffle was very fun with the chicken and mushroom gravy to pour in. My partner got the beef bourgignon souffle and it was hard to decide which we liked more. Finally, we ended with a raspberry souffle and pistachio & chocolate souffle. The pistachio and chocolate was by far my favorite of the meal. Something about the textures and form factor of a souffle just lends itself to sweet flavors so perfectly. I don't eat a lot of souffles so I thought it was a great experience to try such a variety. The texture is light and moist but maybe not something everyone will enjoy. If I were to visit again, I'd probably only get the pistachio & choc as eating 3 courses of these was filling and got repetitive in terms of texture. Service was friendly and it is a good idea to get a reservation as it was pretty crowded when we went. I'd recommend for anyone who likes souffles or wants to try.

Chocolate Soufflé
Jerilyn G.

Wonderful restaurant! Le Soufflé was simply wonderful! I cannot say enough good things about our lunch and the excellent and kind experience. We had green salad, onion soup, ham and cheese soufflé and ended with a chocolate soufflé for dessert. Everything was amazing, and the service was just wonderful. We absolutely loved it!

Merci pour le service aimable. Mon anniversaire était si spécial. L'ambiance était décontractée et on se sentait comme à la maison.

Beer and goat cheese tower and  rosemary souffle.
Joseph S.

It is our 30th anniversary and we decided to celebrate at Le Souffle as we are in Paris. Whole I am giving it 4 stars, I think it.migjt really be 3,5 stars We both order the gourmet set. I got a cheese souffle and a onion soup as a starter. The onion soup was great, the cheese souffle no so much. The inside of the souffle was kinda gooey, almost like it wasn't fully cooked. I didn't like it. Maybe it was undercooked or maybe I just don't really know what a souffle should be like. My wife had a goat cheese and beer tower with a rosemary souffle for her starter. I wanted to point out that her souffle had a much more firmer texture than mine, also mine had no real flavor, while hers had a very sharp cheese flavor. Meanwhile mine was the cheese . The entree was the best part of myeal. Seared scallops with straw potatoes. My wife had turbot with a lemon butter sauce. We both loved them. For desert, I had a grand mariner souffle.anfnshr had a pistachio and chocolate souffle. Hers was excellent, mine was ok. Overall, I didn't love the meal. I would not go back.

Classic escargot with garlic butter sauce
Valerie Y.

I loved Le Soufflé so much the first time I visited Paris last year that I had to go to this restaurant again this year. We were a little early but the ushered us into the back room to a lovely table for two. The escargot was classically made with a delicious garlic butter sauce that we dipped our bread into. We chose the beef bourguignon soufflé as it was so memorable since I last ate it though this time there were no mushrooms. And we ended our meal with a chocolate soufflé of course ooh la la!

Raspberry soufflé
Janis W.

I have never had a soufflé, and had always wanted to try one. Where better to try one than France!?! After spending the morning in the Louvre, we had reservations for lunch at Le Soufflé. We had delicious cheese soufflés with a salad as an entrée, and a delicious raspberry soufflé with rhubarb compote that we shared for dessert. The restaurant is small inside, and they really pack them in, but that is not unusual for Paris. The service was attentive, and we really enjoyed our meal. I would highly recommend!

Mini escargot
Lilee N.

Wanted to love this place. It's definitely a smaller restaurant and without reservations it's dicey for a walk-in dinner. Being American, we made the earliest rsvp which was 7p. It was empty when we came save two tables but after our first course came, the restaurant was packed. They have good pre-fixed menus but three courses of soufflé might be too much of one texture. Highly suggest getting a non soufflé main or starter for variety and enjoyment. Of note you order your dessert soufflé early. The normal size is good for sharing between 2-4 people. The mini ones are good for one or two people to share. The blue cheese pear starter came recommended based on previous Yelp reviews so we tried it. It was definitely a strong blue cheese flavor so please note. The tart on the side was nice with pears but the blue cheese seemed to overwhelm the pears. We found what we thought was hair at the bottom of the soufflé dish but on closer inspection it was a fallen bristle from the pastry brush. Escargot starter was decent but the snails themselves were the tiny ones. It was nice to have them already removed from the shell but it came at the expense of not being able to slurp the herb butter sauce from the shell. French onion soup was divine. Salty but just right with the melted cheese and large crouton. Main dish of duck was good. Duck was cooked perfectly and the sides were a good complement. Dessert was shared between two of us and we went for the rum raisin soufflé. They left the bottom of rum at our table and that was a highlight because if you want an alcoholic soufflé, you're definitely getting it. Strong and delicious. Wish we had tried the chocolate one too or even the vanilla. Honestly we loved the dessert soufflé the best. The preceding dishes were mediocre at best minus the great French onion soup. It was pricey for what we got. In retrospect, more of a tourist trap. Would suggest for a good lunch or upscale snack spot to get the dessert soufflés. Service was good and it was easy to find.

french onion soup, escargot
Jane Z.

So many people had recommended this place for my Paris trip so I was so excited to try. The restaurant was clean though very crowded. Service was a little slow. It took forever for us to order. The french onion soup had good flavor but was far too salty. The escargot though was great! I got the Henri IV souffle and the chicken mushroom sauce was delicious. I loved it! I wish I was able to try a dessert souffle though I was too full!

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

There are two tables essentially in the kitchen (a true "Chef's Table" arrangement) and maybe 6 tables in the adjoining room. We were welcomed warmly. Deborah was the hostess and server. Chef Hugo is visible in the kitchen, working very hard to make everything just perfect. They brought bread immediately (my husband loved the sliced baguette--it was perfect and chewy as it should be, but not hard). We ordered a bottle of wine, a Macon Villages, which was perfect. I had the cucumber salad appetizer, which was so fresh. My husband ordered the ravioli appetizer--tiny little rectangles in a scrumptious sauce--a work of art. I ordered the fish and shrimp plate. The sauce was amazing and it was a huge portion of tender white fish. My husband had the lamb with frites. It was nicely seasoned & perfectly done. For dessert, my husband enjoyed a chocolate treat and I had refreshing raspberry sorbet. Deborah was so friendly and solicitous throughout the meal. I have never felt so well taken care of. (I have seen some comments from people who are unhappy that they can't just walk in. They don't appear to understand that there is only one seating. People arrive when they do and they linger. Empty tables seen from the street do not mean the place is not fully booked. Make a reservation well ahead of time. It is worth it!)

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier.
