NOTE: They only accept cash. So come prepared! And they DO know where the closest ATM is located, just ask. This place was amazing!!! The service was attentive. The drinks were so French (tasty and inexpensive). The food was phenomenal. I know there are many places to eat in Paris and I don't go often enough to have tried many. BUT this is a place I'd make an effort to return to!!! Close to Notre Dame, this is a great evening wind down. Inside looks like you're at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant but the food is so spot on. Bring your friends or come hungry so you can try a lot of different dishes. (We came hungry having finished the Berlin Marathon less than a week prior.) read more

Excellent small plates, very tasty and well presented. Nice wines to go with the tapas. Service is good and staff is lovely and give good advice. When we went there, the ambiance was cosy with different areas such as the small tables for 2, the high tables for groups of 4/6, and the sofa / coffee table for a group of friends. We went there after a quick web search and we loved it! Highly recommend for a good quality/ price ratio read more

Well I hate to give this place a bad review because its food is so delicious but when the service is so bad I have no choice. Attempted to eat there last week with my family on our last night in Paris. We didn't have reservations but there was patio seating so the waitress said we could sit there and she'd be right out. There was a young couple already seated on the patio and it looked as if they were just finishing their first course. We sat down at the table next to them. We waited and waited. No wait staff ever came to give us a menu. I went inside to use the restroom and thought I got her attention on my way back to our table. But we waited and waited. The couple next to us looked perturbed also as no one brought them the rest of their order. We waited some more but to no avail. So we up and left. Don't know if we'll ever return. We've had trouble there before with slow service but this was no service. read more

We hunted, we yelped, we talked to friends - and yet our favorite meal might have been at the place we found (Sourire) when the lebanese place next door was closed. The audible took us to a nice french tapas place where every dish was stuffed with flavor. The cheese plate had three different wonderful cheeses, one of which was highlighted in perhaps our favorite dish - the grilled cheese. Our tuna with guac was also mouth watering, perfectly fresh tuna. We'll be back. read more

Great food, good prices, friendly staff. Tapas french style, if you want something different and fun; excellent!!! If you want patio seating make a reservation ahead of time. read more

Happened upon this place after a long day of sightseeing in December. Luckily, we were there right as they opened, and we were able to get in without a reservation. Based on the other guests who arrived after us, I would recommend reserving unless you plan to eat early. The four of us decided to fully embrace the tapas concept, and we shared somewhere between 6 and 8 dishes. One member of our party loved the sauce that came with the fries so much that the server walked us through what was in it, though I will admit that some was lost in translation to me. On that note, the servers were definitely far more proficient in English than we were in French, so we had no issues. All in all, this space has a great vibe, great wine, and a great concept. And great bread, of course, but it is Paris after all. Definitely a place I would recommend and would return to the next time I am in Paris. read more

This place was near the top of tripadvisor when I visited Paris so I checked it out. I actually by here once and passed on it, because the menu looked small, but came back the next day for lunch and was very impressed. Small, relaxing place and everything was perfect. Try to cheeseburger, you will not be disappointed. Most of the other stuff in this area is typical crappy tourist food, but this place really stood out. If you go at night you may want to make a reservation. read more

Excellent not your standard French good food! Small plates as promised as we didn't want to over eat on a late dinner. Apparently Sangria in Paris, or at least here, is more of Mulled wine - it was unexpected and delicious. Had the pollock tartar de lieu- very light and savory. Our favorite was the Magret de Canard - cooked medium... Delicious. read more

Sourire - The meal in total- outside! - Tapas Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

I had read that when in doubt, always make reservations in Paris. So I made a Saturday lunch reservation for 13:30. We happened to be ready for lunch at 12:15, shortly after they opened. We were the first customers there, so it wasn't a problem at all. We chose to sit on the large leather sofa, which was crazy comfortable. The owner greeted us, asked if we preferred English, which we said we did. He handed us menus in English which was awesome. This restaurant does small plates, which is something I love. I ordered the cheese assortment of the day and the baked Camembert. BF ordered the Parmesan fries and the chorizo dish. Oh. My. God. The comte cheese was great. The fries with truffle dip were awesome. I mean, I have never had such good fries. And then there was the Camembert, baked, melted, with candied walnuts, the best food to ever enter my mouth. I will have dreams of this baked Camembert. I love cheese, but I never imagined cheese could be this amazing. I would just continue talking about this cheese, but I think you get my point. But I mean, seriously amazing. Please ship me some! It was a pretty hot day, so we had white wine, which was perfectly chilled. And then for dessert we split a Nutella cake. I can't even... it was amazing. Candied hazelnuts, ice cream, and this just fabulous cake that oozed chocolate perfection out of the center. The owner, who also served us, was just amazing, very kind and fun and relaxed. This place is VERY English-speaking friendly. We went to many great restaurants and had some great food in our 9 days in France, but I have to say I think this was my favorite. It will definitely be my #1 spot to visit again when ever in the future we get back to Paris. Thank you so much for such a lovely afternoon. read more

Wow! This is in French - incroyable! The tapas is amazing! Especially the lamb tenderloin. Two or three dishes is enough, and I recommend the carpaccio besides the lamb tenderloin. Staff is friendly and everything is served quickly. Great wine, great place. Small local restaurant, were we seemed to be the only tourists... 5 stars for everything. The food, the place, the staff, the atmosphere! I'll be back at some point! read more

Had a nice dinner for one here and it exceeded my expectations. Sat outside under the heat lamp, which was perfect for the nice but chilly evening. I had the burrata and the tuna tartare and they were both amazing. The burrata was huge and the mint creme paired even better than I expected, adding a fresh twist to the taste. And the tuna tartare was exquisite, with a sharp, vinegar-y sauce and fresh diced veggies to add a crisp crunch. I had it all with a bottle of the menetou-salon Sauvignon blanc, which was especially good after a bite of the tartare. The atmosphere in and out of the restaurant was hip but cozy, and it was a perfect place to relax with a book and a glass of wine and a meal after work. read more

Great local spot! Their French and sweet potato fries are amazing as well as the croquettes. Limited outdoor seating. The wait staff let us move once a table opened for fresh read more

Sourire brands itself as a French tapas bar. It is cute, cosy, the service is very nice and the food is good, so don't hesitate to book it for a catch-up dinner with your friends. However, to get to 5 stars, it could improve a bit here and there: * The cocktail list is a bit sad (only 6 cocktails - €9 each - all classic: Spritz, Old-Fashioned, Mojito...) which in a tapas bar is disappointing. * The concept is closer to a restaurant than a tapas bar: each plate is pretty big and filling (risotto, duck...) so you don't really eat a lot of different ones - for 2, we shared 2 appetizers (comté cheese truffles, €7 and ham plate, €9), a main (risotto, €9) and a dessert (chocolate balls, €8). *For the price (each "tapas" cost €8-9, including desserts), I was expecting a tad bit better food. The chocolate balls were a bit disappointing, very greasy. The cheese appetizer was good, but pretty simple (even if there were a fancy mustard sauce to go with it). Overall, I wasn't blown away by the food. read more

I'm so excited to write my first review as a hipster saying that I knew about this place before it was cool. It's only been around for a month or so, but thanks to good ratings on Yelp and TripAdvisor, it's got a pretty nice following already. All the small, shareable plates of food we got were outstanding, particularly the beef cheeks (when in france, right?), the fried chicken oysters (these are chicken, not oysters), and the scallops. The wine list was also excellent, and since it was our first night in Paris, we "splurged" on the most expensive bottle of incredible Bordeaux wine that only set us back ~EUR40. Gotta love Paris and celebrate that USD/EUR exchange rate. I think they're still working out some of the kinks in service, as it took a while for us to get our water/wine/menus at the beginning, but the owners came around and chatted with us, and the entire staff was very friendly and warm. The vibe of the venue is enjoyable as well, as it feels like your typical Parisian sidewalk cafe, but it's also a block or two removed from the chaos of tourists roaming the streets with their maps and fanny packs. Merci pour un bon repas! Food: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 read more

Small, quaint, and casual venue. Stumbled upon it when looking for somewhere to eat and rain came pouring down. Menus in French and English. Servers were very kind and tolerant of our lack of French. Ordered croquettes, cheese and charcuterie, 2 glasses of wine, beef, and lamb. Total came to 67 EU, which is not bad for 2 people. Portions are perfect for tapas. Our order was enough to fill us up. Everything was delicious, especially the beef and lamb! Both were tender and cooked perfectly! Would love to return again some day. read more

We ate here on our first night in Paris. Exhausted, we took a walk from Le Marais district where we were staying, across the bridge, passed Notre Dame, and somehow ended up at Sourire. It wasn't on my original list of places to eat, but I'm glad we stopped here. The young guy that greeted us was so friendly and didn't make me feel judged while trying to speak French :). (My French is much better now!) The place was small and open, with tables outside, a bar, and tables against a brick wall. We sat against the brick wall, ordered entrecote avec frites & truit et fromage plate. I had an Aperol spritz, and my husband had some other cocktail. Everything was excellent. The rib steak was cooked perfectly, as were the fries. Loved this place. I miss Paris! read more

After spending hours trying to decide were to go to dinner we came across this place and decided to give it a try. One of my favorite dinners in Paris! The service was great and the food was amazing. Our waitress was very helpful and even helped me select a wine. We went late evening and with our 7 year old and we still felt welcomed. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Quaint place off the majorly populated path. Excellent dishes, friend multi-language staff and reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Excellent, great food, had the steak carpaccio, cod tartare and risotto, all excellent. Nice ambiance, good wine and good prices!

Came here after seeing glowing reviews on Yelp and Tripadvisor. The Food: Underwhelming. We ordered the fried comté, the fries, the vegetarian tartare, and the Argentinian entrecôte. Plus the rosé which was on a happy hour special (€3). Has a lot of potential! The presentation was on point and the plate ideas are worthwhile. We just did not like the taste of the food, as it was a bit bland. HOWEVER: from the cheese and charcuterie boards that passed us, I think I'd be a great place for drinks and cheese/charcuterie. Just not for a substantial meal. The Service: The exceptional service gives this place a solid 3 stars. For Paris, the waiters were very polite, patient, attentive, and other positive adjectives. read more

This tapas bar was so good that we went twice! They recognized us the second time and brought us complimentary glasses of champagne for our last night in Paris. Loved the ambience and amazing tapas. Try the gnocchi, tempura vegetable, Iberian pluma, and croquettes! The wine was great too! read more

Super good. The steak IS ONE OF THE BEST STEAKS IVE EVER HAD. And the iman something-something? That's pork, and it's DELICIOUS. Be aware the meat is cooked probably to medium-rare, rare, but I promise it's delicious. The meat is top quality so it doesn't feel off putting. I'd recommend the smoked tuna as well, so tasty. read more

Hello Yelpers.....My wife and I have returned to Paris and revisited one of our favorite "finds" from last year: Sourire...."To smile" in French, BTW....and smile we did. We were greeted by Guillaume, who remembered us from last year.....always a comforting sign. As is their custom, the menu changes seasonally and everything we had for dinner 3 nights ago was new to us. We especially loved the Tuna (thon) presentation and, as well, the "carpaccio" of scallops...also simply delicious and very unusual. A Happy Hour special included a 75cl bottle of lovely Rose and a comte croquette appetizer....totall for both was only 20 euro !..Service was attentive and the entire experience was lovely. And, yes, we will return this week. Really a terrific "find" for Paris.....Enjoy........Gary and Gerry read more

Wow. WOW. We loved every tapas we ordered here. The only regret is that we didn't have room in our bellies for more and upon coming back our last night in Paris, they were fully booked. The space is small, cozy, and modern with trendy ambience. The steak was sooo tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. It was beautiful, just such a beautiful experience in my mouth. The pork was rubbed with spices and sooo tender as well. The quality, the texture were perfect here. Just do it, just order both, just get it all!!! We also ordered the cheese balls which reminded me of pao de quiejo but cheesier in taste. They serve it with this light delicious curry sauce. We also ordered the butternut squash soup which tasted light but so rich at the same time, like magic. It was really cold out so this was a welcome addition to our meal. Two thumbs up for the seasonal soup as well. The 3 (or was it 4??) cheese risotto was cooked al dente, full of flavor and accompanied well with the meats. We ordered 2 desserts. My husband loved his lemon dessert while I thoroughly enjoyed my raspberry cream with lychee flavors and topped with berry meringues. read more

If you are looking for a solid wine and tapas place, this is a good option. We had the cheese and charcuterie board, asparagus, steak, scallops and fries. Everything was well prepared and presented. Service was friendly. Space was nice. But it was overpriced (that is why 3 vs 4 stars) and nothing out of the world. That said I live in NYC and have access to great tapas. read more
