We were visiting the Palace of Versailles, and wanted to explore the area around it after. After looking around we found this spot online and also happened to walk by where it seemed to be really popular. We got the french onion soup and the cream of chicken dishes. Overall, I didn't think they were anything that great. The soup was fine but nothing special really, and some of the croutons it came with were burnt. The chicken was also a little bland and the potatoes were slightly dry. The salad and baguette were great though. This was such a cute and cozy restaurant and I loved the decor and ambiance inside though!

The wife and I were in the neighborhood and decided Le Pas Sage looked promising. Oh, how right we were! Le Pas Sage served up traditional French bistro fare made with fresh ingredients and a modern, upscale presentation in a very casual setting. It was located on what can only be described as a fairly busy but seedy side street/alley replete with several sex shops up and down the street from it. However, we weren't deterred by the colorful neighborhood, which only added to quirky charm of our experience. The weather was perfect, so we sat at one of its handful of tables set up outside. The menu was small, but listed some interesting, if not delicious, offerings. We decided to go the 3-course prix fixe route (39€/person). Our meal started off with a delicious amuse (a small bisque whose ingredients I don't recall). I had the Tartare de bœuf topped with foie gras and fresh herbs. The foie gras atop the tartare was a beautifully sinful indulgence, but the brightly colored fresh herbs gave the dish a wonderful flavor, aromatic, and color contrast that put it over the top. The wife and I decided on the Côte de bœuf (12€ supplement/person) for our main course. Talk about a meat-lovers wet dream! It was over 2 lbs of beefy goodness served on a cutting board with grilled tomatoes and also bone marrow. I love marrow! The rib steak was prepared bone-in (the bone was removed for service), nicely seasoned, and cooked perfectly to the Chef's recommended medium rare. We accompanied our food with a 2011 Jean-Luc Colombo Cornas Les Terres Brulees, a full-bodied syrah that complemented the juicy, meaty Côte de bœuf amazingly well. For dessert, I had the Soupe de fruits, a pleasant, not too sweet, end to my meal with its assortment of fruits and sorbet served in a fruit gelée. Le Pas Sage served up a tremendous meal! Considering what we had and its quality beginning-to-end, it was also surprisingly reasonable. Service was friendly and solid throughout. Le Pas Sage was truly enjoyable and a place I would gladly return.

(We didn't know that most restaurants here will save a reserved table for the entire evening, which is great if you're running 30-60' late, but not ideal if you're hungry and wandering around without plans.) * The boeuf wrapped in cabbage dish is a must-have. * The Saint-Jacques were great but the cream sauce was not. * We also had an oeuf poché as entrée (appetizer), which was sort of reminiscent of dim sum, served with a crunchy bird's-nest type thing. This was probably my favorite dish since it was such a great mix of East and French. They missed one of the things I ordered, but I was ordering in French and I've had it happen to me enough times in English to know that it just happens sometimes that a dish isn't written down or gets forgotten (at least we weren't charged for it). They also brought a small amuse-bouche, which was some sort of creamed corn with cheddar cheese at the bottom. That was quite tasty, although I'm not sure cheddar was the right cheese to choose, my partner loved it.

The menu is all in French so if you don't speak it fluently, just use Google lens to translate. Our waiter understood English and he was very friendly and kind. I loved my confit de canard (duck) on a bed of flavorful potatoes. It was so delicious. My husband ordered something raw- thinly sliced beef topped with arugula and shaved Parmesan. He wasn't so pleased because it didn't fill him up, haha. It may need some sauce too. He ended up ordering a charcuterie board. The beers according to him was OK or so-so.

Le Restaurant seems very fitting for my 500th review: one of the fanciest, most amazing and most…read moreexpensive meals of my life! I don't usually visit restaurants of this caliber, so my review will have to be taken in the context of my naivete when it comes to Michelin-starred restaurants. The restaurant is in the L'Hotel hotel (creative names here), a 5-star hotel that just oozes understated exclusive luxury. It's small, it's exquisite and the entry to Le Restaurant is marked by two large green velvet curtains. The dining room is designed to be a sheltered courtyard with skylight windows, fresh greenery and outside light filtering in. There are only about 15 tables, so a reservation is a NECESSITY here. The decor is bohemian luxury: nothing matches, it's all velvet/velour/gold and tasteful with pops of bright colors here and there. Perfect for the mood of the hotel. I admired the taste of the interior designer on multiple occasions during the meal -- the whole atmosphere was a zany and creative while still maintaining refined luxury. Our chairs for dinner were plush upholstered lounge chairs, lending such an elegance to the meal. The service was flawless (except for the part where the end of the meal drags on forever and you have to flag someone down to pay the check...but this is simply a cultural difference). The servers spoke excellent English and made some excellent recommendations. The 5-course tasting meal that we selected was 110 euros per person (about $153 based on current exchange). The menu handed to the man had all the prices. Mine didn't have any! We started with two glasses of champagne that were so apropros to the setting! We decided that the suggested 3 glasses of wine with the meal would be too much, so we asked our waiter for suggestions and he suggested an amazing Saint Amour Pinot Noir from Burgundy. It was absolutely delicious -- light with a wonderful berry nose and forward fruit flavor. Ended dry though and was a perfect complement. The meal: Amuse-bouche: Cauliflower mousse. Amazing. Starter: King crab with avocado mousse. Light, flavorful, citrus hints, gorgeous presentation. One of my favorite dishes of the night. Starter: Turbot (apparently quite a prized fish indigenous to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean...first time having it...ridiculously good) perfectly prepared, melt-in-your-mouth..I don't remember the exact accompaniments except that it was phenomenal. Entree: Wild pigeon in beet puree. SO OUTSTANDING!!! I've never had pigeon and now my impression is that it's the most tender, lean, flavorful bird I've ever had. Like duck but much less fatty and more tender. Palate cleanser: Citrus sorbet. Refreshing! Cheese plate: Wow. Little sticks of sharp Etivaz with graces of apple slices and sage that added just the right pop. Super surprised by how wonderful it was. Dessert: Assortment of berries with fresh cream, raspberry mousse and deconstructed biscuit. A take on strawberry shortcake but sooo much more flavorful and light. Not heavy at all. After-dessert: A little plate of pink marshmallows and little pies and cakes. Summary: This meal will likely cost between $400-$500 for two people when the 5-course tasting and all the alcohol (we had a total of 2 glasses champagne and 4 glasses of wine) clock in. BUT IT'S WORTH IT! Like others say. Amazing. Prepare for 3 hours. Make sure you like your date!!! This is key. ;)

Le Restaurant located in the 4th arrondissement in Paris was, unfortunately, a disappointment. For…read morethe 1 Michelin star rating this restaurant boasts, I expected deliciousness, creativity, and impeccable service. The restaurant fell short in each of these criteria, in our experience. First, I think that it is a pretty important for servers to always ask about any allergies. As someone with a few food allergies, I notice when I am asked what my restrictions are. At just about every fine dining restaurant I have been to, I have been asked this question. But I was not asked at Le Restaurant and had to volunteer this information, so I took note of that almost immediately. Next, the food was just all right. I believe that Le Restaurant tries to "wow" with advanced cooking techniques, but at the expense of taste. When my husband and I dined there for dinner in June 2017, we opted for the tasting menu. There were at least four dishes which featured some sort of foam element, and a few that featured rhubarb. For a tasting menu, I am sorry to say that I generally expect something different from each dish, but that was not the case here. I definitely felt like there was almost too much continuity from dish to dish. There were no "surprises" from one dish to the next. Additionally, the tastes were just not that great. Many of the dishes had a multitude of elements to them which did not mesh well in my mouth. They were all decent flavors by themselves, but presented together, they mostly did not deliver. Even though Le Restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, you are pretty much always outside even if you ask for indoor seating. There is no true indoor seating because there is no divide between indoors and outdoors. Hard to explain, but IMO, this is unacceptable in the summer. During a heat wave, I was sweating through my pants while dining, even though I had "indoor" seating. Unfortunately, I concluded my meal at Le Restaurant feeling dissatisfied with the experience. Maybe it was a bad day because Michelin stars are rarely awarded. But they did not win me over with their first impression, so I will not be going back or recommending them for anyone who visits Paris. There are more worthy places.

My French is not very great, but luckily the waiters here knew enough English where I could use my Frenglish and get by anyway. :) The waiter that served us was very friendly as well. I asked him what he recommended and he paused a moment and wrote something down on his notepad, saying "I know exactly what you'll order--it'll be a surprise!" Fantastic! Surprises are my favourite. :D Funny enough, I LOVED it! It was a cooked flank steak, incredibly juicy and it came with a salad and a dessert (the waiter also surprised me with his favourite: the berry crumble and it was great!). The steak was nice and pink and came out hot and rested (after you cook red meats, or even chicken, it's good to let the meat rest so the juices can return) and it was perfectly seasoned. The berry crumble was toasty and wonderful--the berries weren't overdone and the crumble was perfectly sweet, and not overly so. The atmosphere was wonderful because L'Ebouillante is nestled in a cosy alley with a view of the river. The light comes in just right in the late afternoon/early evening. I highly recommend asking to be seated outside--it's wonderful! Because it is in Paris and so many travel-writers have reviewed it, there are a good amount of tourists here from all over the world, but don't let that get you down! The food is great and the ambiance is charming anyway! All that being said, I will return to Paris and I will eat here. :D Food blog: http://thingsiputinmystomach.blogspot.com
