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.

There are many restaurants and cafes in the area and we just checked the menu and the occupancy (it was busy and vibrant) of several places, and we just picked this one. It was a great choice. Habib was our energetic and engaging server and I learned he hailed from Tunisia. We ordered appetizers of calamari and a serving of 6 huge escargots. For entrees, we had lamb shank (mine) , flank steak, penne pasta with ham, and a prawn dinner entree. It was all delicious and the bill was a very reasonable 103.4 euros or $117.65 USD.

Around 3-3.5 stars This was our first meal in Paris after arriving by train. Our hotel front desk recommended this place. It was very clean inside and looked like a typical French brasserie. The server was friendly and spoke English. Our food arrived fairly quickly. Everything was fresh and hot just boring. I ordered steak with pepper sauce and it was just ok nothing too special. Overall you can tell that they are on cruise control. Are there better brasserie around, yes for sure. Are there worse ones? I'm sure that's also a yes. So that's where this lands somewhere around a 3-3.5. Positives are clean, English speaking staff, English menu, and reasonably fast service. If you are hungry and nearby I think it's fine. Just don't go out of your way.
