Le Train Bleu is a fancy restaurant in the train station that has beautiful ceiling paintings and decor. The service is stellar with kind staff. We made reservations just in case (table of 5) since we had to catch a train after lunch. Food- 5/5 for all food! Everything was absolutely delicious. The meat dishes were soft and flavorful. Potato gratin was so cheesy and smooth. The presentation for each dish was lovely as well and truly looked appealing in every way. This was a lovely experience and I would highly recommend dining here! read more

My daughter became 16 years old and it was her gift to go to Paris and to dine at Le Train Blue. We are from Skandinavia and are used to dine at very fine resturants with a higt level of quality and polite service. When we came the waitors dit not say welcome with a smile. They got our order name and we were sitet at a tabel. We orded and were spoken down to by the waitor because they did not have Brunch menue- it was Sunday 12 o´ clock. We orded then Beef Tatare. Another waitor came to ouer tabel and mixed live the Tatare beef. While he did it, he were shaking hands with to other watiors he also talked to. Unhygienic when you are standing with raw meat and unpolite to us . 7 times during our dining, waitors came to side tabels and were standing with ther BUTT direkly in my face and their jakets in my food 3 times. Im in chok. Before we vere finish with ouer plate and drinks, a waitor came and asked if we were finish? I said no, we are still eating. He went fast away. 2 minuts later the same happend with the Above servant. Directly after ouer last bite the tellers were moved and the recipe were at ouer tabel. the Above waitor came for cash. He was very unpolite and false and did NOT belive my beautiful daughter was 16 years old and had Birthday. We paid for 2 persons - 125 Euros for 45 minuts for a WERY BAD experiens. Never ever have I experiencs such a horrible service and dining where we had only been seating for 45 minutes. read more

Honestly one of the best lamb and au gratin I've ever eaten! Also probably one of the top most aesthetic restaurants in Paris. The only reason I am giving it 4/5 stars is because our male server was extremely rude and arrogant for no reason. read more

Excellent food! Everything was well proportioned and had fantastic flavor. I initially wasn't that hungry and was just going to order the side salad and Prosecco, but the waiter gave me the impression it was small and to order something in addition. Well, it wasn't small and it would have been plenty as a meal, but I indulged anyway and ordered the deviled eggs and caviar (qty 3). I was glad, as that was wonderful and a nice touch for the overall experience. The service was initially good, but then we felt ignored a little mid way through. My only real complaint was that after my one glass of Prosecco they apparently ran out. Huh?! Really? In THIS kind of restaurant. Disappointed in that, but overall it was a great lunch for us. The ambiance is over-the-top gorgeous. Definitely a nice treat for our day in Paris! You have to go. read more

Le Train Bleu - Deviled eggs with caviar - French Near Me - Paris, 75

It was recommended to me to make a reservation at Le Train Bleu. This was a very special evening for a father and Daughter European Trip. We planned this trip for 15 years. I did the reservation online, looked at all the YouTube Video's and read the reviews. I cannot tell you how DISAPPOINTED I was with the overall experience. This place is GROSSLY understaffed. This made the service below par from start to finish. I will highlight below. Staff and Service: Our server was always rushed. I asked for flat water 5 times. Each time it took over three asks and 15 minutes. I don't drink wine so I really needs some water. I fully knew the service would be relaxed, much slower then in the United States to allow for a special evening. That was expect and part of the experience. The service alone will be a 1 out of 5 and made anything else that happened less than it could have been. I expected attention and felt ignored. The same held true for the couple next to use. The only thing the server was quick on was taking payment. Atmosphere: Spectacular and in my ratings, a 5 out of 5. This place is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my 67 years on this earth. Food: On a scale of 1 to 5, a 3.5. This was another disappointment. I ordered the "LE MENU DU TRAIN BLEU" which is the most expensive full course menu. The fool was as I said, 3.5 out of 5. We left the cheese on the table and shipped the dessert. I never do that, ever. Conclusion: If you want the experience, simply go for a drink. Save your money and choose another place. Paris is lovely for fine dining which this was not. Eat well, drink well and stay healthy. read more

Reviewing separately for food and decor. The decor was beautiful, located inside the train station of Gare de Lyon. Absolutely stunning venue! Just for the location it is a must see. However the food was a complete pass. Horrible with barely any flavor. Ordered the menus. And I actually had food left over in every single dish. That is how horrible it was. Could barely eat this. The foie gras from the menu was dry, it was the terrine style with wrapped bread. Just bland. The salmon fume was ok. For plats, we ordered the chicken stew and this fish balls (weird fish balls). For dessert the best thing was the local cheese! Others were terrible. Don't come here for the food. Just look at decor. The food (from the pre fixe menu) was horrible. Could not even stomach this. Hard pass. read more

Definitely a place to visit. Recommend making reservations before going. Thought it was all a gimmick due to so many social media posts, so wrong. The food was AMAZING! The scallop appetizer melted in my mouth. The salad was fresh and the veal was very tender. Loved how they served it with roasted garlic. Even our wine was a great pairing with our food. The place was packed and loud, yet we enjoyed our visit. Servers were very friendly. read more

Made this reservation two months in advance, arrived timely and was promptly seated. Took at least 15 minutes for anyone to come take our order or greet us at the table. Ordered the varied/tasting menu which included about 7 dishes. Had two servers, at the end of the meal it took a long time to get the server's attention to ask for the check and an pen. Needed to split the bill between 2 people, asked separate times to split the bill between the two at which time the server pretended not to understand English (after speaking English all night to us) It is such an unpleasant experience to be asking for something simple and for the server to pretend not to understand at all that, at that point, for their convenience and NOT ours, had to pay with a single card. Will NOT return NOR recommend to anyone. Regret the visit to this place. read more

Truly one of a kind experience in Paris. Food is authentic French and delicious,. The restaurant is beyond beautiful.

Service was friendly & as expected at such an establishment, extremely supportive & professional. The set menu 'PLM' was great from chicken pate with morel to the entrees of either salmon or rabbit & then strawberry layered cream cake - light, sweet delicious. The ambiance is why we came and the rest great. Would recommend as fine & wonderful dinning for a great French dinning experience read more

Beautiful venue, good food, good service... but a challenge to get to as a tourist (and harder to get back to the hotel, especially if you choose Uber). Multiple courses served. Very well executed. Lamb, however, was a bit under-seasoned and room temp. Nonetheless, everything was good, not great, but given the spectacular venue in a train station, it was truly memorable. Finding the restaurant in the train station was a minor challenge. However, finding transport back to our hotel was a major one. THREE attempts to secure Uber were failures as drivers could not locate us (two of them actually cancelled with no notice). Many "taxis" are available, but most are not legit. After roughly 40 minutes we secured a legit taxi and made it back to our hotel. No fault to the restaurant; Uber in Paris is definitely NOT something I would recommend. FYI - taxi was just over half the cost of what our absentee Uber drivers would have charged. An exceptional dining room with good food. An elegant, although busy, venue. We will likely return (but retain a driver in advance!)! read more

Great food, nice tasting menus, good service and with a killer cheese trolley. It's a lovely setting and very classy, a very nice special occasion place in Gare de Lyon. Reservations are a good idea as they fill up completely at lunch. The roasted monkfish for two was outstanding. I had the roasted Roti de Cabaillaud and it was very good but a bit over-roasted. Desserts were great! Will go again for lunch. read more

I spent two years taking trains in and out of Paris from this station but I only recently had the chance to get dressed up and dine in this legendary and special restaurant. Reservations are currently running at least 2-3 weeks out. If you want to go to this place, there's probably no such thing as "too early" to make a reservation. I had a memorable night with a friend I wanted to treat, and it's definitely a place I'll return to next time I want to do the same. read more

Le Train Bleu is nothing short of amazing. The spectacular location and the vintage pieces they keep around make it even better for those looking to enjoy something authentically parisean. We went out in May 2023, and the location was still under facade construction, but you would never know when you entered the building. The food is fantastic; any place with a cheese trolly is the place for me, honestly. The selection of food leaves something for everybody. The options are more extensive than many other places you may find in pairs but still authentically parisean. One of the aspects that we loved about it was the service. You knew that with every turn we made to acquire something more or something different, there were at least three people waiting for us in the galley. They care about their service and their whole experience, and it shows. I am grateful that we could go here and experience something so unique. TThose of you who read this far know that with every dinner, there is a surprise. I will not ruin it for you, but I can only make sure you have your phone ready, because it's amazing! read more

You can't eat Instagram. Yes is this an Instagram God send? Absolutely. Is it an architectural gem? Yes. In 1900 Paris was in the throughs of an Exposition when it decided to renovate the train station. It was agreed that the center piece would be a Buffet de Gare, a Station Cafe, that would showcase the latest technology and transportation. So important it was, that the President of the France inaugurated it in 1901. The place was frequented by the lines of F Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Stein. In 1963 the Cafe was called the Train Bleu in honor of the train running from Paris to Ventimiglia (French Riviera). That being said, yes the three stars are for the food, history, ambiance and gravitas. There are no stars for the service or food a nod to the French Riviera cuisine. I had the scallops and they were good. I also tasted the tartar and it was also good. The waiters were aloof, glacially slow and robotic; even for French standards. Save yourself a large bill by going in and merely eating near the bar. read more

Food is mediocre but ambiance is nice, beautiful restaurant. Keep in mind that the food here is very "French" so liver fat, duck confit...

In France, food is theater, and at the historic Le Train Bleu, located in the Gare de Lyon train station, the chandeliers and paintings on the walls/ceiling act as a gorgeous backdrop for the show! The menu is classic French, and despite the fancy decor, table setting, and attire of the waiters, the restaurant felt surprisingly casual with its touristy clientele and playful waitstaff. The meal started with an amuse bouche of quinoa and peas topped with tiny dollops of cream. From the menu, we ordered the Beef Tartare, which was prepared tableside by a server, who beat together an egg yolk with seasonings like Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt, pepper, pickles, and onions before mixing in raw ground beef and forming it back into a patty shape and topping it with herbs. The tartare was served with a simple salad of greens and French fries, which were disappointingly soggy; the meat, however, had good flavor and went nicely with the two different kinds of bread that came with the meal. The Paris Lyon Mediterranean menu was a three-course menu with a choice of items for each course. For the appetizer, the Rabbit Ballotine was a terrine made of minced rabbit, greens, and pine nuts, rolled into a round loaf with a chewy "skin" made of pancetta. For the main course, the Lamb Navarin stew was a hearty stew of tender, meaty lamb chunks in a savory sauce along with vegetables like potatoes, radishes, spring onions, carrots, zucchini, and garlic. And for the final course, we picked the cheese plate, which came with three different cheeses along with dried apricots, hazelnuts, and walnuts to pair. The cheese selection included a heavy, funky Reblochon, a creamy Camembert, and a tangy goat cheese with a blue rind. Overall, our dinner here made for a nice dining experience, though the service, atmosphere, and prices definitely stuck out more than the food. read more

This place is gorgeous and obvious location to go to get some amazing pictures and some excellent food. The food here is very good, we each got the lamb and it was marvelously cooked. Would recommend making time for this place when you visit. The only reason I gave this place four stars is because the service isn't that good. They have a lot going on and so you can tell you are bottom of their priority list. It also took them about 2 hours to give us our check. However, the food and the ambiance made it so well worth it. read more

The food is mid level/par. Nothing to be overly excited for and nothing that was really memorable. To be honest, came here for the interior and history of the restaurant which is really beautiful. Service was a bit slow and our server was a bit rude, but I'm assuming it's because they have to deal with tourists every single day. Can't blame them read more

Just the most beautiful place you could find for lunch in a train station.... Amazing prix fixe options. Thanks that on time? You can't miss with the Traveller menu: want to go with a little more?

I definitely booked this place for the interior design. It was so romantic going inside with my hubby. We had the early lunch reservation which I was glad because the place was fairly empty. You get to absorb the beauty in peace. As for the service, I'll say it was good. We had the head server who helped us in the beginning. He gave a good recommendation for a sweet red wine which is actually finished! I got the lobster fricassee vegetable minestrone as a starter and it was delicious. There mini lobster ravioli which I find cute but it it worth 39€ can be on some people's mind. My husband got a roasted leg of lamb which he enjoyed seeing it being carved in front of him. He got a new leg. I got pork filet mignon which was delicious. The portion looks small but you'll filled up once you start eating! It seems like for the ladies, you pour your own gravy because the table next to me had his gravy all poured out for him. I'm not sure if it's a gender thing where female prefer less gravy due to calories? Definitely swing by the place with a reservation for lunch since it gets super busy but you can always swing to the bar area if you don't want a whole meal. read more

One of the most beautiful restaurants i had the opportunity to visit while i was in Paris! It truly is a dream and the fact that it is located within a train station was otherworldly. Like a little separate pocket of bougieness in an unexpected area. It is a little hard to find so just keep an eye out for stairs and it is located on the second floor if your uber driver drops you off on the side of the station rather than the front. Prices are a little high compared to other restaurants we experienced and in my opinion food was good but the prices got me a little lol. This is not a place you come to when you are on a budget but it is the prefect spot for a celebration or a fancy date night. read more

Terrible service. Food is mediocre. Beautiful setting does not excuse the poor service and mediocre food quality. Go somewhere else!

What a fabulous spot! We were there for dinner on Christmas. Not only was the decor incredible but the food and service were fantastic.

Super ornate restaurant located on the 1st floor of the Gare de Lyon train station. When we were there in May 2022, there was construction on the ground floor so the stairs leading up to it weren't obvious. The gilded decor was amazing and lush. The tables were set with snowy white table cloths and perfectly placed silverware. An elegant place to have a meal! read more

Everything was amazing! My wife and children absolutely loved this place. The food was incredible they really know how to cook a steak! Easily a 10/10 experience. Our server, Erwann, was fantastic as well. I'd definitely want him as our server again. Highly recommend! read more

Over priced for the quality. Nice ambiance. Wait staff friendly. I think there are much better and less expensive options.

Not worth the hype! In our week of travels to Paris this was hands down our least favorite thing we went to. It just felt off from the second we sat down. The food was good but the service was not! Our head waiter told us that at the bottom of the bill is not a tip just to let us know it's tax. Would not go back. read more

This was not our first visit to Le Train Bleu (on Thursday, May 12th), but it was the first time that our French family members (who live in the countryside) had been there. It is a glorious, stunning place--especially since they did extensive renovations before the Olympics. Le Train Bleu is where the actual métier of serving guests, preparing food at the table, understanding the subtle nuances of a dish...the service here is absolutely impeccable (our head waiter was Alexi who was mentoring Omar, both of whom were professional, knowledgable, and super sympatique). The champagne was glorious and each course, delectable--ending in the very French, theatrical flourish of preparing the Crêpes Suzette at the table. The Baba au Rhum was also light and exquisite. None of this is hyperbole. My only advice is to take your time, don't rush, enjoy every single moment and morsel. read more
