Lovely tea shop with light food available and their chocolate / pastry shop connected. The service was good, there's a large selection of teas including decaf and herbal options. Their hot chocolate is overwhelmingly sweet. I had tea and a "Rock" pastry that looks like a stone, again it was very sweet. I like sweet but it was too much, with a espresso to cut the sweet it would be better. There are small tables on the lower floor, and more lounge style with tables for bigger groups on the upper floor. read more

I came here last week unexpectedly when we were strolling around the 6th. We ordered 4 pastries. The tart with pistachios, tart with raspberry, chocolate eclair and tarte citron. The raspberry tart was very tasty. The raspberry wasn't heavy handed and it wasn't overly creamy. I'm not a big fan of meringue, but the citrus custard inside was nice. I liked the pistachio tart because it was thick. It was almost a fudge-like consistency. One thing that I like about this place is its crust. It's not a thick crust like a typical tart. Instead, it's very light and thin. Sometimes too light that it will fall off the pastry. Also, we ordered tea and hot chocolate. For the tea, they handed us an hourglass timer to help determine how weak/strong we wanted our tea. That was a pretty neat idea. I think that if I'm ever around the 6th and would not want to wait 2 hours for hot chocolate at Jacques Genin, I would gladly go to this place for a better all around experience. Plus, my niece loved watching the staff create chocolates. read more

Chocolate -- and a Whole Lot More! We went to Un Dimanche a Paris on Sunday with the plan to have hot chocolate -- reputed to be one of the best in Paris, and stumbled upon an excellent spot for brunch. We knew it was a chocolate shop and a place for hot chocolate, café and patisserie, but it is a full on restaurant as well. On Sunday, they have a "buffet" brunch. The reason I say "buffet" is because it is not a buffet by American standards, where everything is pre-cooked and laid out on a steam table. At Un Dimanche, for 39 euros you have a choice of a starter and plat as well as a banquet of patisserie, cookies and fromage, in addition to cafe, fresh squeezed juices and their famous hot chocolate. We had the fresh tomato salad and made to order omelets that were perfectly cooked, along with fresh squeezed orange juice, brioche, pain chocolate and hot chocolate. I am afraid we could not do the rest of the spread justice, being at the end of nine days of non-stop eating. Next time we will go at the beginning of the trip, pre-food-coma. read more

First and most importantly, the hot chocolate is amazing!!! Fun and delicious artisan foods. I live this shop. www.un-dimanche-a-paris.com read more

Un Dimanche à Paris - The best hot chocolat!!! - Desserts Near Me - Paris, 75

Un Dimanche à Paris is definitely an original concept. The multi-level address consists of a restaurant, shop, bar and cooking school that all share one thing in common: CHOCOLATE! Why someone hasn't done this type of homage to one of the greatest pleasures on the planet before is beyond me. Tucked away on a cobble stoned passageway near Odéon the space is chic and classy, but not cold. On the advice of a friend I recently checked out the 2nd floor bar-lounge to test out the cocktails by the super friendly bartender, Mikael, who makes all of his cocktails to measure. After asking about any allergies, likes or dislikes, he whips up a special cocktail just for you then asks you to try and identify any of the ingredients. It definitely makes for interesting taste-test fun, especially since all of his drinks have chocolate in some form another in them, but so slightly dosed that you can hardly taste it at all. So how much will one of these couture chocolate cocktails costs you? About 15 E a pop! You've been warned. read more

Everyone will tell you to go to Angelina for hot chocolate but Un Dimanche a Paris is where it's at. The boutique also has the most delicious chocolate candied orange peel... the perfect stop before seeing a movie. The space is charming and very Parisian. Can't wait to visit again! read more

I stopped by this restaurant only because I had purchased chocolate from the shop earlier that day and was eager to ensure that my investment in 15 euros was worth the hole in my wallet. The vibe of the place was totally different than most of the places I have come across in Paris. It's more modern and sleek, rather than old and quaint. The chairs are green! One of the most encouraging things about this place was the curt nature of the menu - there were only about 15 things on the savory menu (entree, plat principal) and six or so on the dessert menu. I ordered the Prawn dish, which had six beautifully butterflied king shrimp in a white chocolate reduction. They were sitting on top of a bed of paella (wild and basmati rice, peas, onion, sun dried tomatoes, lemon zest, etc) that was texturally satisfying and sliced well. I finished every last bit of that dish. Dessert was a MUST at a chocolate house so I ordered "Le Lacté" which was a hazelnut/chocolate cake/mousse dessert that blew my mind. There was also salted brown caramel inside. It was perfectly moist but not too sweet. I also tried the salted caramel eclair - great but not amazing. The "Lacté" was the star of the night. Our waiter was also funny, witty, and charismatic. read more

The BEST éclairs ever. Salted caramel was my absolute favorite and my husband favored the chocolate one. We definitely recommend coming here for dessert when you're in Paris - you won't regret it! read more

On the recommendation of another restauranteur we reserved a table. This was a special night as we were celebrating our 22nd anniversary so we wanted a really nice meal. Un Dimanche a Paris did not disappoint. We both choose the prize fixe, 5 course menu and ordered a few cocktails and some wine. The meal was very well prepared, we got to try some new dishes we'd never encountered previously and were presently surprised. The only downside of the entire meal was the preparation of the lamb, we both found it to be a little gamey, perhaps over cooked. Although it was a little pricey for my wallet, we enjoyed our experience and would go again. read more

I'm really surprised I have not written a review for this place. It's got one of the best hot chocolates in Paris (take my advice and order the 2€ 10cl cup - it's way richer than you can imagine and you'll thank me later) and all sorts of beautifully designed chocolates and pastries. Worth a stop in a picturesque lane in Odeon. read more

So this review is only for the restaurant, I haven't tried the boutique or bar. When I walked in and sat down in this beautiful, airy space with gorgeous exposed stone walls, I had high hopes. When I saw the delicious "gourmand" brunch menu (for around 50 euros) I said, ok I'll splurge. When I saw the plate, I said...I've made a terrible mistake. Now I fully understand the concept of small portions, and as someone who is perpetually on a diet, I totally appreciate that. BUT, I don't think that you can call a 3cm tartine a "club sandwich". Basically, for more than 50 euros, I got a few small pastries, a glass of champagne, a small cup of hot chocolate, a few slices of ham, a tiny cup of some sort of veg/fruit salad, a microscopic bite of a sandwich, and a bite of fois gras. I could forgive this if everything were delicious. But it was...not. On top of this, the service was bizarre and terrible. Water carafe but no glasses. Coffee but no sugar. The waiters kept going outside to smoke and hang out in the large window directly facing all the diners. It was just...awkward. In conclusion, I'm fine with paying this much for a delicious meal in an elegant setting. While the setting was nice, the food was very forgettable. :( read more

This review is for Sunday Brunch. We dined here today unexpectedly. We were in search of a good brunch spot near Odeon. We had a rather fussy eater in our party of four for whom we had to search high and low or the perfect spot. This turned out to be a good thing when we sauntered down the alley in which Un Dimache a Paris is located. Honestly, it was the signage above the street that brought us over to see the menu, and then the full menu posted on the window next to the Michelin-rated stickers that made us go inside. Once inside, we weren't disappointed. For breakfast this morning, I had: Champage Fresh Jus D'Orange Espresso A whole plate of amuse bouches Cup of fresh fruit Poached egg over haricots verts with chevre Foie Gras Pistacho Crème in a Pot Vanilla Yogurt Lamb and Golden Raisin meatballs in a grilled tomato It was 50 euro. Was it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I go back? Yes. read more

Wonderful. Exceptional dinner. Excellent service. Friendly atmosphere. Would recommend this charming culinary experience to anyone visiting Paris. Especially (but not exclusively) chocolate lovers will appreciate their innovative use of cocoa in many of their savory dishes. White chocolate with pollock? What a revelation. I'm going back for seconds:) read more

Tried this place last time for their hot chocolate and specialty pastries. This time I came back for the same hot chocolate and as much as I loved it last time this time I found a place which I liked just a little bit more. Still this place has lots of specialty desserts and chocolate to try from. Had the lemon tart and coconut dream pastry. Extremely pleased with both of those choices, always hard to pick a favorite one since they all look and taste amazing. Before we leave Paris will stop by again for some more sweets. The place is a little tricky to find but really worth it . read more

This place had lots of pastries as well as chocolates and hot chocolate. We tried the candied chocolate-covered orange peels. I enjoyed them, but they do have a very strong citrus flavor- more than most orange peels I have had. This shop also carries little chocolate balls (about the size of Sixlets chocolates) which are designed to be cooked with savory foods. For example, we sampled Rosemary, Cilantro, Pink Peppercorn, and Fennel chocolates. They all tasted good and were a mix of sweet chocolate with savory spices, but it didn't convince me to buy any for actual cooking. These were all we tried so I cannot speak to the rest of the desserts at this shop. I think it could be worth a visit for some of their interesting sweets as well as the adorable location tucked into a cobblestone alley, but we had better chocolate elsewhere in Paris. read more

Tea With my other half consumed Tea and hot chocolate. Caramel flavored oolong tea was unique yet refreshing. I've heard that hot chocolate I. Angelina is the best. I disagree! I had best hot chocolate here! It definitely deliberated better than the former. Warm cozy and stylish atmosphere earned stars. The cake was good but not that impressive, this is where they can develop further - one with raspberry, cookies and cheese cream but no distinctive taste? The triangle shaped one with pistachio was nice, well balanced the texture between granules pistachio and biscuit with its roasted taste! thus I'd like to give 4 stars. read more

The setting is romantic and simple elegance. The veloute and salad were divine. The beef cheek stew was meh. The sauce was far too concentrated in flavor and I left more than half of my lunch un eaten. Disappointed. read more

Went for one thing - the best drinking hot chocolate in Paris. Forget Angelina's. This is amazing and reasonably priced. Not to be missed. And in the sweetest cobblestoned nook! read more

Their chocolate is phenomenal. I would highly recommend stopping by for some dark chocolate covered almonds or a simple dark chocolate bar. The chocolate boutique staff is friendly and helpful and will spend the time explaining the products. I knocked off one star because we stopped by the second night to have dessert and were told by the waiter that we couldn't dine in unless we were having a full dinner. (Meanwhile there were tons of open tables. They should have sat us. I will return to the chocolate shop, but skip the restaurant.) read more

In a single word: EXCEPTIONAL! This place offers three businesses -- a chocolatier/pastry shop, a cooking school, and most importantly, an amazing restaurant serving lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Ate dinner at the restaurant on a Thursday night (we walked in to book a reservation early that afternoon as it was on my "must try" list for our week in Paris). Loved it so much we went back again for Sunday brunch (which we walked in to book midday Saturday). It's an elegant, funky space on a quiet alleyway. Elegant, but not stuffy. Lots of space between tables, which is a treat in Paris. Service: impeccable. Attentive, friendly, and patient. Our server humoured our French, but easily switched to English (of his own accord). Getting server's attention never an issue, as they were paying constant attention to us. Food & menu: Absolutely exquisite. The à la carte menu features chocolate in subtle ways. It more predominately features seasonal foods. And varied. Plates are beautifully crafted, and each morsel of food is impeccably prepared. There's enough variety to meet everyone's tastes. The Sunday brunch menu highlights chocolate a little more obviously -- and it works. There are two brunch options to choose from, and each set menu offers a slight amount of choice. Both give you more food than you can possibly need -- but you'll want to eat every single bite. The baking, chocolate making, and such are done in-house and you WILL see the difference this makes! Value: Slightly upscale, but truly worth every penny. It was not our most expensive dinner in Paris, by any means, but we'd have been okay if it had been! Brunch was 38 Euros apiece (54 for the other menu) and dinner worked out to a max of 75 Euros apiece, including pre-dinner drinks and a bottle of wine for the meal. Attire: smart casual. We dressed for dinner in nice but not stuffy clothing and fit right in. At brunch, other guests ranged from jeans and track jackets to slacks and dress shirts. It's an elegant place, but not stuffy -- dress accordingly. Make sure to visit the chocolate shop! Tip about making reservations: you may get offered a time that's not ideal. Push back gently, and you will get a better offer. We were offered late slots both times, gently inquired if there wasn't any way to fit us in at our ideal time, and found ourselves accommodated without any further ado. read more

A very nice beginning had to end in a frustrating way because the manager of the restaurant was extremely rude to us due our (perceived) origin revealing his RACIST attitude. Obviously, one of his colleagues was listening to our private conversations and the manager was "afraid of our joke that we would eat the whole buffet"!!! We could indeed as we paid for it. He brought the bill with a very hostile attitude and "made" a Platinium Amex and a Gold Card (with high limits) declined. Finally, the debit card of the same bank thru the same POS was accepted. When we tokd him that he did treat us extreme rude, he was admitting that his attitude was because of our "private conversations" and we shall be free not to come again. Of course, we left the place with some resentment. If you have some respect to "egalite and fraternite", don't even go to this place. read more

Way too pricey. Kinda rude to visitors. Food is either too salty or has too much cheese (for a light dish!). Only good thing is dessert.

Parisians take chocolate seriously. More so than than the traditionally sought after french fare that tourists and myself crave. Im still searching for the best onion soup and when i order escargot they want to show me how to use the utensils to get the snail out. I don't mind being an American in Paris, as long as i can benefit form treats lie this., Odeon is a fun vibrant area and the alley where you find Un Dimache is a treasure with many great places to eat. You can sit in their cafe form 3-6pm and enjoy your Hot chocolate like a sophisticated aficionado. Instead of drinking it standing in the alley like a tourist;) Although the pastries are amazing, i never eat them. the Hot Chocolate is more than enough for me. I love the ceramic pot it comes in, with a long wood stick to stir. I admit that the metal pitchers keep the cocoa hotter in other places, but this is till one of the better Hot beverages in town. Since the location is easy, I would skip Laudree's version and enjoy this one more. Angelina is still the ranking queen, but who want to deal with those lines. Un Dimache is a great ambassador of chocolate and should not be missed. read more

We couldn't have been more pleased with experience here! Across the walkway a restaurant offered three course lunch for 25£. I ordered the same # of courses for 33£ and from what I saw I had the best food and price. Every course was freshly made and decadent. 100% French cuisine experience! read more

We had a brunch. Food was great. Especially deserts were delicious. Service was ok! I wish I had the chance to rate the chef and manager separately. The manager was a clear racist. Once he understood we are foreign people, he came up with the check without our ask, made our credit cards declined on. He was super rude and he blamed us that we were sitting there long just to empty his buffet. He told us that they listened our private conversation in our language. If you don't want to deal with racism, don't go to this place. read more

This is a very nice restaurant connected to a chocolate maker that offers a great Sunday brunch featuring dishes with chocolate. The food is fresh, well prepared, tasty, and nicely presented. The restaurant is located on a back street so it is quiet and intimate. The service was good. read more

Have stopped in here a few times over the past few years. Usually for the chocolat- chaud. Dined in their restaurant once, a year or two ago. The hot chocolate is my favorite in Paris. A little richer and more bitter than Angelina's. The chocolate boutique is beautiful. The restaurant atmosphere is wonderful. They married a clean, modern room with the historic building, perfectly. The food was delicious (they incorporate chocolate into every dish they serve). We went for lunch, and most people were dressed very nicely. The bar/lounge upstairs looks like a great spot, although we've only been up there to look. We'll be back! read more

On the recommendation of our foodie tour guide, I got the shot of hot chocolate. Woo hoo, it was fantastic!!! That's all I had, so I can't say anything about the rest of their offerings. It all looked delicious. But the hot chocolate was so fulfilling, I didn't want anything else. Would return just for the hot chocolate the next time I'm in Paris. read more
