This was possibly the best meal I have ever eaten. Phenomenal. Each course was simply flawless. Reservations are required but if the restaurant is full, try the cozy Verjus bar on the ground level. read more

Fantastic food and fantastic atmosphere. Most customers seem to be American and the waiters have no attitude toward speaking English.

This is very much in line with the bobo palate trend in Paris. Small restaurant that seats no more than 30-35 people. The prix fixe menu was perfect along with the wine pairings. I would definitely recommend this as one of the first places to eat in Paris. The only thing is that the address is a little difficult to find as it's tucked away in a little corner. But it adds to the character. The actual address on the bill is 52 rue de richelieu read more

Amazing food and wine parings in the restaurant! Adorable location and interior (inside a cove, off the main street). Staff spoke excellent English. Coordinated day-of reservation via email. Super helpful owner. read more

We were recommended to Verjus by a couple people, and I'm so thankful - this place was fantastic. I'll eat a lot of things, but I definitely have a list of "no thanks" and Verjus got me to eat a couple of them since they were on the prix fixe menu - clams and duck. It was the best duck I've ever had, and the clams were delicious too. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and there was a pumpkin or squash tortellini that I wish I had a whole regular sized entree of. The desserts were good (I'm drawing a blank on what they were), and the whole experience was memorable. Everyone was friendly, and it made for a lovely evening. read more

Ok, so, this is what I have to say. After reading this you will think I am the owner of this place. I assure you I am not. The owners, Braden and Laura, know what they are doing. They had this little kitchen thing going on in their apt. a long time ago, I tried but could not get in, always booked. I continued to follow them, and then they opened Verjus. This is without a doubt, my favorite restaurant in the world, not just Paris. I travel extensively the world over and consider myself quite the gastronaut. Finally, I got to taste what Braden produces, an explosion of taste in your mouth. He is a genius! I have been here about twice a year since they opened, however long that has been. My wife works for a French Co. and travel here 2 times a year. As soon as I know we are going, I book, the highlight of every trip. It is not to be missed and without a doubt, please do the wine pairings. You will not be disappointed. I was there last Friday and was telling some of the staff how I tried to get in their weekend thing but could not. They were to young to even know about it, but were interested, and immediately went back to the kitchen to inquire with Braden. Hats off to the entire staff of Verjus!! continued success! read more

I made reservations for Verjus after a visit to the Louvre Museum. It's within walking distance, but can be tricky to find. Once I found it, though, I sat down to one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything is from the seasonal tasting menu, so there is no selection to be made, but the best thing you can do here is trust the chef. The food is absolutely unbelievable. I had seven courses of wonderful meats and vegetables and desserts paired with wine. It is pricey, but definitely worth every penny. The service is also fantastic. read more

Foodie spot...no scene. 6 courses and each dish special. Small intimate dining room. Make sure you get a seat near the window

Truly exceptional. Far exceeded our expectations and gracefully accommodated our complex array of dietary needs. The restaurant is on a beautiful corner surrounded by miraculous buildings and the ambiance is simply incredible. Just gorgeous! read more

We enjoyed their tasting menu (60 euro) for dinner on a Wednesday night. It's a nice little space off the road, so it's a little tricky to find. Lots of windows which were opened to allow in a nice breeze. Comfortable but nice decor. There were eight courses, and they were all delicious. Fresh products made well. Inventive pairings and elegant presentation. The service was great, and they have a cool little wine cellar downstairs where you can pop in before or after dinner or just for fun! Highly recommend it read more

Fabulous set-menu place. Really high-end and lots of details to the food and wine-pairing. Excellent service and a comfy place to enjoy it all. read more

Fantastic! Had small plates at the bar downstairs on my visit to Paris. Delicious food. Cute and cozy setting. Memorable trip for this American tourist. read more

If you enjoy food this is a fabulous experience! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly well spoken and attentive. The food and wine pairings were perfect, let your plate be tantailized. High recommended for the foodie read more

a Yelp pal was talking my ear off abt yank-owned Verjus. so on an errand by Palais Royal, i stopped in for lunch. three sammies on the menu and chose Bakesale Betty rt quick: buttermilk fried chicken, cabbage-shallots-parsley slaw and mustard vinaigrette on homemade bun. awwwwesome. as was the gooey peanut butter brownie dessert. so thanks for the tip JT, will try dinner soon as i round up more centimes. read more

WOW, was it an incredible meal. The starters were amazing, a great fondue, a parsnip mousse that was delicious, and a steak tartar that was perfectly seasoned. Then scallops with radishes and nuts, which was amazing and the wine pairing was wonderful. Then squash and mussels with lobster sauce, which was delicious, just needed a few more mussels to get the right bite each time. The wine pairing made sense. Then the highlight of the meal, a big piece of seared foie gras with lentils, which was out of this world. It came with a nice refreshing salad, but then also a sort of rosti pancake which was was not necessary at all. The palate cleanser was ok, but then the Ice cream dessert with a nut mousse was stunning, perfect, hot and cold, soft and crunchy, wonderful. Best meal of our Paris trip. read more

Verjus is a conventional haute cuisine restaurant that could be located in most urban settings in the world. The service is attentive, knowledgeable, and English friendly, and the setting is attractive. The food is competent but lacked a wow factor. The wine pairing made sense but none of the wines were particularly memorable. For some tourists, Verjus may provide a break from French cuisine. read more

Tiny and cute place. Please make your reservation before you go to this place. The food quality and service is good except that there are so many Tourists in this place. Roasted quail was good but the wine pairing was mediocre. I feel like I was eating in a restaurant in one small city in California (almost 90% of people were tourists or English speakers) , except I was paying euro. read more

I had read about Hidden Kitchen, which the owners ran before opening up this beautiful little restaurant. The restaurant is upstairs and the wine bar is downstairs. The building is kind of hidden, but once we found it, was really quite lovely. We made reservations through e-mail, and the staff was extremely polite and friendly. We did the smaller tasting menu and it was wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and cooked perfectly and the champagne and wine we had was amazing. We had a lot of great meals in Paris, and this was one of the best. read more

Our daughter, who travels extensively, insisted that we have dinner at Verjus during our vacation in Paris. Now we know why! It's difficult to identify just one experience as the highlight of any stay in Paris, but this sure vies for the top ranking. We elected the wine pairings, which is an absolute must. Their sommelier picked the perfect wines for each course, which complemented the food exquisitely. Each course was a culinary delight. I never eat lamb, but I delighted in their lamb course. Contrary to a few other reviews regarding the lobster course, we found that to be one of the tastiest combinations of foods ever. It was clearly not intended to be a lobster meal. For that you go to Red Lobster. This was a combination of flavors that was superb! We can't express enough superlative's regarding our waitress Dianne. She was absolutely delightful, and knowledgeable, and added a dimension to our dinner that made it all the more enjoyable. We will go back again, without doubt, the next time we're in Paris. read more

Verjus was not easy to find. We got to the restaurant early, before opening. Staff was so nice, they offered to store our coats, etc while we hung out at the Jardin du Palais Royal waiting for the restaurant to open. Food was excellent. All the items on the prix fixe menu were wonderful. We enjoyed the wine pairings also. read more

We were especially interested in visiting this place as some sort of reprieve from the typical,heavy French fare-and not to mention the English speaking opportunity,as it is run by Americans. We made our reservations by email, and were promptly responded to-not only did we have several email exchanges regarding a confirmation of our reservation, but they seemed thoughtful to confirm our dietary preferences.(allergies,vegetarian, etc.). I mentioned that I only eat vegetarian & seafood & no type of egg... When we arrived,we were seated rather promptly, and were asked again about our dietary preferences. i thought for such a small place, it would have been noted with our reservation and some advance planning would have been made. It's a pre-fixe menu, which we were unaware of-that's fine, we just didn't know. The first course arrived,it was good. I don't eat caviar(egg), so mine was served sans the egg. The second was a gazpacho, which was excellent and very creative. The third course, which came no sooner than 30 MINUTES LATER, was a fish. It was good, but our neighbors who arrived at their table 45 minutes after us were already on this course... The fourth, which came no sooner than 35 MINUTES LATER (I was getting antsy, but figured something special was being prepared for my diet request;again,the people who showed up 45 minutes after us were already on this course-kind of annoying,yet again.)It was duck with ravioli. I just got the ravioli. Very disappointing, as not only it took painfully long (& our neighbors were served far in advance of us) but, frankly, it was terrible and dry,made no sense to serve on its own,as it seemed meant to be served with duck. I thought I might get a piece of fish,lobster,shrimp or something of equal value, but no. As small as the portion was, I could not really eat it,so I just picked at it. On to the next. A beef course. I got 3 tiny sicks of tofu in soy sauce instead. Very boring,and again, 30 cents worth of tofu,compared to the beef, was disappointing. It just felt like an afterthought. There are so many things one could prepare with vegetables or seafood for that matter, and to be served such a lame thing, was a bummer, to say the least. We ordered the cheese plate as our next course, but seeing how late it was, we cancelled it. We could not sit for four hours to eat. Period. To top it off, these ridiculous people sitting right next to us(Americans, unfortunately) were taking pictures with a giant camera with a FLASH, for every single course-including the espresso!! They spoke loudly ad nauseum about every detail of their food on top of it all.We prayed they didn't order an after dinner drink!! This kind of crap should not be allowed in any restaurant-especially, what is supposed to be a fine dining establishment. I was surprised they weren't on their phones talking,tweeting and facebooking. Dessert arrived, it was okay. A bit of an odd pairing- a peanut butter chocolate mousse, and a bowl of berries with frozen yogurt... We were simply relieved at that point to be done with it all. Furthermore, it was expensive (200 euro~so pushing 300usd) and no type of adjustment was made for the food I had, which was with out the caviar and meat. Overall, kind of disappointed. Maybe the meat eaters would contest this, but still, for the price? Not so much read more

I made a reservation six weeks in advance and when I called to confirm upon arriving in Paris they had no recollection. Not only did they neglect to acknowledge there could be human error, they did nothing to try to accommodate the situation. The dinner was for a special occasion and they offered no help. I don't care how good the food might be, I will not be recommending this place and will make sure others do the same read more

Excellent. Flawlessly executed. Nicely blended traditional french with modern innovation. Imaginative and inspired, well crafted courses. Great service staff and wine as well. read more

This restaurant was recommend by a nearby hotel and was a great surprise. The restaurant has a six course tasting menu and each course had interesting fresh ingredients. Additionally, this restaurant has very good wine recommendations. Highly recommend as food was amazing and a very intimate setting. read more

Dining at Verjus is a wonderful experience. It was not the best or most memorable meal I've had, but the overall experience is deserving of 5 stars. The food is delicious and a great value for the price point. We loved the wine pairings and explanations. The timing of the courses/wine was also impeccable. The service was friendly and approachable. There were a lot of Americans there. I think the whole restaurant seemed full of them, actually, although the downstairs bar had a more local feel. Despite the Americans, Verjus did not feel touristy at all and was a wonderful dinner. We will definitely be back. read more

Have been twice now and was even better the second time. Servers so friendly and helpful. And the food is pure heaven. Every dish was wonderful. A very special evening without being uptight or formal - just great. read more

kind of felt like i was transported back to chicago. it has a very new american feel and basically 90% of the people that were there the same night as me were all english-speaking (american mainly). the tasting menu was okay - nothing too impressive. it's very cosy, dim interior, romantic. but the food was just average - but for 60 euros it's cheaper than most tasting menus you will be able to find in paris. read more

We enjoyed every bite of our meal at Verjus. It is worth noting that the staff were especially accommodating with our food allergies. Bravo!

Came here with a chef from town. Most amazing sardines. Great food and service. Will come back next time.

This was a wonderful Parisian experience. They offer a tasting menu about 7 courses. Only two seatings per night, we had made reservations before our trip. The location is wonderful, off the main roads in a cute side street fairly close to the Louvre. The staff was beyond nice and helpful. They helped choose our bottle of wine and it was one of the best Sauvignon Blancs I've ever had!! The small appetizers come first. Artfully presented and delicious. Small quantities but the meals provide more food. The meals were amazing. Foods I would never normally eat so I was a bit hesitant but decided to give it all a try and boy was I impressed. All of it was Incredible. We were so excited for such a wonderful Parisian experience! read more

Visited as part of our first year anniversary trip to Paris after reading great reviews and recommendations online. Everyone was right, the service is exceptional, the food delicious and we really enjoyed all the wines accompanying the dishes as well (we did the tasting menu and wine pairing). Great mix of flavors in all the dishes and we really enjoyed trying some things we've never had before, as well as things we've had but prepared in a way we hadn't. Would definitely visit again. read more

wonderful meal! we had the wine pairing dinner and would strongly recommend. Menu is preset and changes depending on availability of ingredients in season. Price per person with wine pairings was 100 euros....we thought it was worth it. read more

Neat corner entry tucked off the street in a cool alcove. Cozy seating. Set menu so no decisions excepting wine which was easy enough to pick a red and white off the reasonable list. Many winners; no losers - pigeon w/ talon-intact leg confit our favorite. read more

Amazing evening - I have eaten at many of the "best" restaurants in the Paris and this experience ranks far at the top of that list. We had a dinner in the Verjus private room which was so charming, cozy and well decorated. The meal was spectacular with inventive flavor combinations and an excellent wine pairing. Also for a city with limited vegetarian options - this meal was a home-run for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. Topping it off - the staff was so lovely and attentive. Planning my next trip to Paris just so I can return!! read more

After reading so many accolades about this place we wondered if all the glowing reviews aren't by friends/fans from their Hidden Kitchen days? Every single one of the little plates we tried, about 5, were unmemorable and lacked taste. Even the much touted buttermilk fried chicken was a disappointment, and the chicharones-like pork skin portion was skimpy and like eating air dusted with chili powder - for 4 euros. And while the ambience was nice, the tab at the end wasn't, for a mediocre experience. read more

Nestled behind the Palais Royal down a cobbled alleyway lays Verjus. As far as concept restaurants go, this one is pretty simple - enjoy a pre fix 8 course meal, with wine pairings if you are that way inclined. As you walk in, you are quickly transported into a magical space where the tables are dressed with crisp white linen perfectly lit with tea light candles and just the right note of colour from the delicate flowers. Being a vegan in Paris is not easy so when my husband (who is a vegetarian) and I were welcomed with open arms, ok ok beaming smiles, when we entered the restaurant we knew it was going to be a good night! We weren't wrong there. Perfectly executed food which was beautifully present soon followed. Dish after dish we were able to sample seasonal ingredients cooked using innovate techniques. All of which worked well with the Beaujolais we ordered from the well thought our wine menu. The chef also presented us with one course- a wonderful touch which was repeated at every table. It is here where the kitchen and the diner meets and that connection between chef and customer is so essential but often forgotten. It is clear to see the passion for good food and service at this restaurant. The whole team at Verjus deserve praise for offering not just a meal, but an experience. An experience we look forward to on our next visit to Paris. Paris is a magical city in itself but at Verjus, the magic of Paris is amplified. read more

absolutely wonderful evening. Staff were helpful and friendly, very fluent in English. Tasting menu was amazing along with wine pairing. Costs 100 Euros per person, but felt worth it. Would have gone back again if menu changes more frequently. read more

Too loud to be enjoyed. Expensive slow initial service for water and wine. Delicious food and nice staff but I would never go there again. We could not hear ourselves at all!, read more

My husband and I were in Paris for our anniversary. Verjus was our "special" dinner and we were really excited based on all of the reviews. Unfortunately we seemed to either have really high standards or hit the restaurant on a VERY off night. I'll start by saying the food was good to very good - though certainly nowhere near the best meal I have ever had. The largest problem was the service. We were often ignored, and not in the typical French way where they are just giving you space to enjoy your food. They repeatedly tried to bring out our next course before clearing the plates from the previous one. When they realized it, they would just disappear - not clear the table and not bring the food, which then just sat at the serving station. We were asked to reuse our dirty silver wear for each course. We opted for the wine pairing to go with the meal. The pours were stingy - maybe fours sips. When there was something floating in the my glass of wine, the waitress took it back to the servers station and fished whatever it was out with a spoon, then returned to it us. The bathrooms were dirty, with tiles falling off the walls. I realize these are picky things, and if this was just a corner hole-in-the-wall, I wouldn't care. But if you are going to charge 200 Euro for a meal, these types of things matter. Overall we were incredibly disappointed. read more
