My partner got food poisoning from Qui Plume La Lune. She was vomiting all night and ~12 hours later is still very sick. We ordered the Lucy menu (5-course tasting). When I emailed the restaurant to inform them of what happened, they were dismissive. They asked for "proof" of her food poisoning (see my second photo below) and refused to offer us a partial refund. We were so excited about this dining experience, as it had come as a personal recommendation from a friend. I am extremely disappointed that this happened, and even more so how they have handled my complaint. I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone and am still in disbelief that my partner's food poisoning came from a Michelin star restaurant. read more

Qui Plume la Lune - Horrible post-dining experience - French Near Me - Paris, 75

See all

I felt it was necessary to try a Michelin starred restaurant while in Paris. I am a tourist, so I had no idea where to start, so I looked at the website and this is the one that seemed most appealing from food aesthetics and flavors presented, as well as not ridiculously priced. They also had the ability to reserve online which was a huge bonus. We opted for the 4 course option as the 5 courses just seemed like too much. We did not do the wine pairings. EXPERIENCE We arrived right on time, and we were the fist people at the restaurant. They took our coats and seated us promptly. I think they could tell that we were not used to this tier of dinning and were very patient with us. I feel there were times when we were doing things improperly, but they were still very patient with us and we did not feel embarrassed at any point. The waiters spoke to us in English, I feel the dishes were not described as in detail as the French explanations we overheard seemed much longer. However, they were patient as I asked questions and wanted to learn more about the dishes. They would wait until you were fully done with a dish, and I would be very thorough in completing my food. There was no sense of rush, we were there for almost 2.5 hours. I did my best to note down the dishes and the details they mentioned. I didn't do the wine pairings, I just was given a wine recommendation from the sommelier, it was a white wine but did not catch the region it was from. FOOD Canales: (6/5) Half boiled egg and yogurt with honey. (5/5) Mousse tartlet. (4/5) Oyster leaf with vinegar gel. (5/5) Bread and butter infused with lemon and pepper. First Course: (5/5) Scallop. Roasted. Cauliflower cream. Dashi gel. Second Course: (6/5) Red mullet fish. Grilled. Watercress reduction. Turnip. Some mushroom. Red sauce. Third Course: (6/5) Red Cabbage. Cacao. Porto glaze. Pistachio Hollindaise on the side. Fourth Course: (5/5) Venison (deer). Smoked beet condiment. Roasted romanesco. Parsnip purée. Dessert: (4/5) Chocolate and coffee candy. (5/5) Almond Pistachio and Pear pastry. (5/5) Turnip puree with coconut ice cream. Apricot compote. (5/5) Chocolate Mushroom cracker with cream. OVERVIEW Extremely enjoyable experience. They were very patient and kind, especially for not being used to this kind of fine dinning and speaking English. Great beginner Michelin star restaurant experience. The food was plated very beautifully. The flavors were unique and I had never experienced before. It still tasted good, it was not just beautiful or unique. I felt a lot of depth in flavors, like as you bit in and ate, your mouth would go through and sense different elements of the dish. Not just flavors, but scents and textures as well. The price was really good, it came out to be about €100 per person, which seem like really good value for 4 courses. I would HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

Great service, options for prix fixés, creative plating and excellent wine pairings in an intimate space with ambiance. English speaking sommeliers and servers. Might not be family friendly since the meal courses of 5-6 plates takes hours and some of them looked quite bored. There's an add-on option for cheese plate which comes with a side before dessert. Book in advance and bon appétit! read more

A Michelin Star Restaurant where Art doesn't trump the flavors. The only reason this place is not reviewed more is probably American tourists haven't discovered the place just yet. The place is pretty quite and intimate. This place lives up to the reputation of Michelin star restaurant from its service to the flavors of dishes. Those who have had a good share dining experience in Michelin star restaurants and familiar with the style will find the restaurant truly staying close to what food should be but with a creative interpretation. Art doesn't trump the favors here! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself. read more

What a beautiful experience we had at this restaurant on New Year's Eve. The service was stellar, and the fixed menu ($250 each person) was absolutely worth the price. In arranging the reservations (overseas) and with pre-payment for the meal, everything went smoothly and the communication was clear, even with the language difference. The service was so attentive and they clearly take it seriously to make the night memorable for you. I very much appreciate being able to eat innovative food in a beautiful surrounding, and feel well cared for, without breaking the bank. Highly recommend. read more

What a fantastic experience. I was very hesitant to do a tasting menu in Paris, because I can be a bit picky when it comes to certain foods. However, what I found was an absolute treat. The staff was so polite and worked so very hard to make our experience as nice as possible. They really took care of us and carefully translated everything into English for us. They were really fantastic young men. And now the food! I think we had like 7 courses, and each one was better than the last! Such inventive ideas! The first course was served inside an egg shell! How cool is that?! They were nicely spaced out as to not overwhelm us, and they really all worked together and were very complementary. I even ate pancreas! Me eating pancreas!? Wow! The dessert was what sent this over the top for me. Beautifully thought-out treats with some hazelnut, cream, and more. Yum is the only word. Add some delicious wine that the sommelier recommended and you have the perfect night. Chef Jacky Ribault knows his cuisine. Delightful experience. Thank you to all who work at Qui Plume La Lune! read more

My other half found this restaurant in his quest for eating at a Michelin star restaurant, and oh what a treat! Qui Plume la Lune is a sliver of a footprint tucked away in the busy streets of Paris. I dined on a Saturday evening, and so it was a fixed price: €120 per person for a five-course meal and dessert. This does not include any drinks, taxes, or gratuity. I must say that the food itself was about a four-star for me, and I don't really enjoy seafood or over-the-top fusions very often. However, what made this a five star experience was: 1. They accommodated us 30 minutes before our scheduled reservation (7:00pm instead of 7:30) 2. Their passion for the food -- it shows in their willingness to explain dishes (even in English) and each ingredient. 3. Accommodations for food preferences/allergies: skip the milks for me, please! 4. The uniqueness of the dining experience, in total. Despite the intimacy of the restaurant, it is ok to go casual dressy. My plus one wore a collared shirt, sweater, and jeans while I rocked a collared gingham flannel shirt, leggings, and riding boots. (Mind you, this is just after Christmas when it is cold!) I would actually come here again despite the fact that I didn't really like key ingredients of most of the dishes. (To be fair, I'm an incredible picky and sensitive eater that doesn't like mushrooms, bell peppers, milks, seafood...) Each night the menu is different, and so it's hard to make a blanket statement like "no seafood" here. Still, there's something enjoyable in sitting down to learn about something different, and this was a cool place to do it. read more

An extremely unique experience and a welcome change from traditional Parisian cuisine. each dish was an amazing highlight of fish and the natural flavours that didn't need too many fancy extras. we did the wine pairing which was very nice and felt very thought out. we went during the week and it Was quiet for about an hour we were the only people in the whole restaurant. read more

Delicious fusion food and fantastic service! Recommend the Four dish set menu. After spending 3 months working in Paris, this is still the best dining experience we have had. Avid fusion lovers, we discovered the restaurant on Paris by Mouth and upon our arrival were seated in a small sandstone alcove decorated with driftwood and antiques. We had the 5 course tasting menu, highlighted by a white fish in creme broth and foie gras sushi. The wine parings included a sampling of whites and reds from various regions around France, and complemented the dishes superbly. The service was attentive but not overbearing, the dishes were well spaced with adequate time for intimate conversation. Highly recommended! read more

This is a great little restaurant, well deserving of it's Michelin star. You choose 4 or 5 courses and can opt to have wines to match. You get what the chef gives you (food intolerances and allergies excepted). But as we were told, no matter which one you choose, you get the same amount of food. The main difference between the 4 & 5 is the 5 course option offers a cheese platter and dessert, while the 4 one is either or. I was here with my wife for your anniversary. We opted for the 5 courses with wines. Everything was excellent. There's no point in describing the dishes, as they probably will never be repeated. That said however, one dish came with a daikon broth that was poured overtop as the lid was removed from the small glass bowl, and OMG it was pure heaven. In terms of dessert, there were 3. After eating what I will call the main dessert, a palate cleanser kind of one was brought out. Only it was not a small palate cleanser, but a full bowl. As full as we were we devoured those. That has to be it we thought. But wait, there's more! Now the petit fours were delivered. A very nice way to end a great meal. Service was prompt, discreet and very courteous. All dishes were explained and so were the wines as to why they were picked to match the dish. We arrived at 7:30 and left at 11:30. It was a wonderful evening through and through. read more

It might be more than we usually spend eating out but we found it well worth it and an entirely enjoyable and memorable experience. It was, in fact, up there with some Michelin star restaurants we've eating in but considerably less expensive. On that I give it "excellent value for money" points. Against my better judgement a friend convinced us all to up to the 5 course 75euros menu instead of the 3 course 60euros menu, the logic being that, you receive the same quantity of food not matter what menu but this way you have more variety, and right he was. With the amuse bouche and other tasty ditties in between it end up being about 7 courses anyway. All the courses were skillfully prepared. We started with a tasty, creamy fish soup to get the appetite going. The crisp, soft shell crab on a celeriac puree was a treat as were the following prawns. Roast pigeon with some crisp vegetables were perfect. The piece de resistance was the foi gras, glazed with a sweet Japanese sauce - kind of teriyaki, on top of an apricot maki, was truly excellent. Dessert was an enormous barbe de papa (candy cotton) hiding a short bread biscuit with fruit on it. You had to let the candy melt into the fruit and biscuit to sugar an otherwise sugarless treat. Original and very good. Courses came a little too quickly (we had to ask for a pause) but better that than too slow. Don't go ordering wine like Sancerre off the wine menu (happened before we arrived). It was excellent but cost plenty. This should be a standard whenever ordering wine, anywhere. I should point out that we weren't sneakily up-sold, these guys have too much integrity for that, it was simply the only Sancerre they had. There was a good range of well priced wines, on the list. The place is small and cozy with some pretty funky decor and the service friendly and informative. They are really passionate about what they're doing. Highly recommended. read more

One of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. I don't want to say too much about it because it was such a surprising moment that I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone else. read more

Had a terrific meal here. At first I was a bit intimidated by the "chef's choice" and some of the courses sounded daunting (poached oyster with Japanese ravioli as an example) but everything was intriguingly delicious, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere quite relaxed. A thoroughly enjoyable meal all around. read more
