Paris restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Musée d'Orsay Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

We continued our tradition of eating at every historical place or museum in Europe and this one was the best. The food was exquisite, but the atmosphere makes the food taste even better. How impressive is this dining hall?! The food was divine from the cheese souffle to the duck pomentier and the secret dessert. Loved it all. Service was great as well. No reservations, so get there early and get in line. It's worth it.

Fantastic! We went there on Thursday night with the late opening ticket. The main course, sea bass, is delicious, and the price is reasonable. The champagne and dessert are also good. The waiter is professional and friendly. This is going to be my must-visit whenever I visit Paris!

What a fantastic place inside Musée d'Orsay! The Musée d'Orsay Restaurant is a stunning tribute to French culture inside the former train station. While exploring the museum, we wanted to take a break and stumbled upon this eatery. We decided to give it a try, and we loved it! We ordered a simple dessert with some refreshments, and they were perfect. This restaurant is adorned with frescoes by Gabriel Ferrier and Benjamin Constant, which make it awe-inspiring; chandeliers on the painted ceiling and gilding gave us a unique and unforgettable experience.

Convenient place to get some decent food while visiting the D'Orsay museum. Food is just average, but the ambience is spectacular. They use a highly processed chicken finger in the caesar salad. Seafood dish had a strong fish smell.

The atmosphere was cozy, the service warm and friendly and the food was amazing, this lovely little restaurant was right across the street from the apartment we’re staying at so we decided to give it a try and we weren’t disappointed. We had the butter chicken, the chicken vindaloo, aloo ghobi, saffron rice and some stiff generously poured whiskey and cola.

Onion Bhajji was good. Other dishes were okay okay. However, when we second time since it was near by and everything closes soon, we went just 5-10 mins late. We weren’t given a seat. Cmon, have some courtesy to offer whatever little. Sometimes strict policies can be deferred. My take.

Excellent meal and a lovely atmosphere. One of the nicest tikka masalas I've ever had. The Naan breads we're all amazing.
Steve Dent - 4 months ago

Outstanding. The Chicken tikka starter is some of the best Indian cuisine we have ever had. I'm not trying to be over the top. I'll eat anything and be happy. I was in Paris 2 weeks and came here several times. There is a lot of the alright food in Paris for over the top prices but this place was different and full of flavor. I would come here ever time in Paris. The tikka masala was good. Biryani rice was good. The butter chicken was great. Medium spice will leave you daring to try spicy. Spicy will get the sweat just about ready to start so unless you like hot things medium is perfect. The cheese naan is a great addition. You will walk away beyond satisfied. Sorry no pictures. Ate it too fast

Best Indian food in Paris. Tandoori chicken is top tier, naan was excellent, and staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is also sublime.

My absolute favourite place in all of Paris! Not only is this restaurant walking distance from Musee d'Orsay, the food and service was spectacular. They have a really good lunch offer where it costs less than 20 euros for an entree and main. The sea bass with taragon cream was my favourite! It was cooked perfectly and the sauce went hand in hand with the fish. I also loved their chocolate fondant. Served warm and all the chocolate goodness oozed out! Will definitely be coming back when I return to Paris again.

We went here after Musee d Orsay and really loved the athmosphere and food. Mom had the Turbot fish and snails and went home to Germany happily afterwards. Desserts were outstanding too.
Daniel Parlak - 2 weeks ago

I think this is my favorite place where we ate in Paris, onion soup, tuna steak and seabas were awesome. I recommend this place.

Wonderful food; near Musee d’Orsay but not too many tourists. Giant Mont Blanc.

We loved this little restaurant. The food was warm and cozy and perfect for a rainy day in Paris. The staff were all polite, and the restaurant was a romantic nook.

Understated place of huge historical significance as a part of the polytechnique ecosystem. A marvelously simple menu executed to perfection. We were all pleased with this experience and recommend it vigorously. The price to quality ratio is a steal!

Friends and I shared a delicious 3 course lunch in October. From the moment you enter and climb that beautiful stairway to the restaurant entrance, you know you are in for a treat! The food was delicious and beautifully plated, the service warm and attentive and the dining room is so inviting. I would definitely go back for another fine dining experience.

A lovely lunch time trip with wonderful views of Paris. My husband and I are both vegetarian and the food was fantastic. Neither the service nor the trip felt rushed. Our waiter, Georges, was friendly and helpful.

Without any doubt, the absolute highlight of our weekend in Paris! We were a little bit hesitant as it's quite expensive, but we are so glad we did the evening cruise at 18h45. Everything about it was lovely. Great food, fantastic lady singer singing a wide selection of songs in French and English, excellent service from our waiter. We booked online and paid for the drinks package, so there was a glass of champagne waiting for us when we were seated. The food was great - especially the large starter and the chocolate dessert. chicken with quiche was very tasty but we could have done with a little bit more sauce and vegetables. With our drinks package we were given a bottle of wine with our meal, and a large bottle of still water. There was no pressure on us to buy additional drinks (which is good as they were expensive!). The whole thing including the drinks package cost €104 each, and the only extras was €8 that my partner decided to pay for the cheese plate. We didn't pay for window seats and we were seated in the middle of the boat but we still had great views - to be honest the window seats looked a little cramped! You arrive at 1815 for an 1845 departure. The boat left a little late and we returned at around 2010 (10 minutes late). It was just the right length of time on the boat to see everything and eat the food. If we do ever go to Paris again we would definitely do this again. Highly recommended!

Overall pretty good experience except for the service outside the boat. Got an email on the day of the cruise mentioning rescheduled to later time due to technical issues. I was already surprised why they didn’t called when the price paid is not cheap. Lack of responsibility #1. On reaching the rescheduled time mentioned in email and showing the email, staff receiving have no idea on why the email was sent and asking me the question ‘Why I didn’t showed up earlier’? I had to wait their with the kids when all others where onboarded and multiple people checking email from them and confirmation code. Worst thing is they were even admitting people who just come without pre-booking. Eventually I have to step in to the boat and talk to staff inside and they let me in. It was not a pleasant start. Very friendly staff inside and the live music and atmosphere kind of compensated for the remaining part. In short Bad experience from outside staff. Good atmosphere and food inside.

We tried the pizza du jour. One is enough for little appetites. With the great weather we took away the pizza and ate at the quai de seine. On sundays is very crowded (we are in april).
MayraA Perea - 7 years ago

Very quick and healthy option. Ingredients quality is not the best but for a quick lunch it is OK and not too expensive for the surroundings. However, anything on top of the salad is super expensive. The choice of ingredients is OK, nothing exceptional compared to other salad bars but allows you a good variety in your salads.

Best Italian food I can remember eating! We started with Jamon and Melon, which was fresh and delicious. The fresh truffles on handmade pasta was amazing. We also tried the handmade Tagliatelle, the tiramisu and the dessert du jour. the street is beautiful in the setting sun, great servers, nice quiet location, and everything was delicious.
Anne G - 9 months ago

A little overpriced for what it was, but overall a pleasant experience. The staff is very friendly, pasta was flavorful and plentiful. The appetizers were okay, but the portions were very little considering the price. Tiramisu was alright - there was a bit too much egg white.
Marie-Linh Gastel - 2 years ago

One of the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. I leave this review almost 4 years later after coming across the pictures I’ve taken. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of the truffle pasta which was indisputably the best I have ever had, I was probably too busy enjoying this unique moment that is still perfectly imprinted in my mind. The other courses were very good too. I will definitely come again.

Portions are a little smaller but the food is amazing. Recommend doing family style because we got to try a ton of different food. We had the fried veal with potatoes (amazing and crispy), pappardelle noodles with bolognese sauce (both pictured below and so tasty). We also ordered the fish, ravioli and creamy tagliatelle. Everything was soooo delicious and we ate it all up. The food came out fast too which was great because we were hungry.

We were very hungry after the Louvre and so glad we chose this place. Both the service and the food quality and preparation are absolutely excellent! We ate snails, onion soup, leg of sheep and octopus. The waiters were polite, cultured, attentive, but not intrusive. The quality of the food is excellent. We highly recommend this place to all tourists hungry for excursions in the Louvre!

Excellent experience! Visiting from the USA, the food was absolutely delicious. Our waiter Oliver was awesome, very friendly and spoke English. We ordered the Caesar Salad with Fried Chicken, Duck Breast and Cheeseburger and would highly recommend these items.

We made a reservation three weeks ago, and they had a free table for us when we came. Was very nice that we didn’t wait. The food was delicious and very big portions, very impressive for Paris. The meat was very tender and tasty. We were full for the first time in Paris and for reasonable price. Definitely worth visiting 🇫🇷 👍 10/10 Service is great, the waiter work fast and well, the German speaking staff is polite and friendly

Good food with excellent atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The meat was delicious and the burger was ok but it was a little salty to my taste. I recommend this place if you’re in for a French restaurant near Orsay

Nice place. Although the lamb shoulder smelled, it was so lovely and tasty that I finished it all. The lamb was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The potato on the side was also very delicious. The salad was fresh and pleasant. It was a perfect lunch altogether. I’d definitely come back!

This cafe is located at the centre of the Tuileries gardens. Most of the seating is outdoor. We arrived in a rain storm, and chose a sheltered table. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly, filling in for our attempts to order in French. He was doing small magic tricks to amuse the customers! Really good fish and chips, both being dry and crunchy. Lovely crème brulé for dessert.
Glenn Harrison - a month ago

The food here is excellent. I came here for lunch twice during my trip to Paris. The French Burger is probably the juiciest and tastiest beef burger I have tasted (I despise dry burgers) and the chips/fries were nice. The waiters are all friendly. There are, of course many tourists such as myself that frequent here, predominantly Americans. It is often packed, and the atmosphere is warm and lively, especially on sunny days. Would recommend.
Amy Lim - 10 months ago

This was a happy surprise—excellent food, beautiful ambience and location, and hard-working staff. We feared it would be overly touristy, but the ingredients were high quality and salads and entrees were delicious (portions are large). As mentioned in other reviews, they are understaffed and it can be difficult to catch the attention of your server (though they were trying their best to help everyone).
Jason Harrison - 7 months ago

A good place for lunch with my 3 year old after a morning in the park. One would expect a mediocre tourist cafe, but it is on par with other places in the city. We had lunch menu and were pleasantly surprised. Food was good, staff were nice and the welcoming and prices not crazy as well.
Alexandra Mukovozova - 2 weeks ago

We were on the way to the Musée de l'Orangerie and were hungry. We decided to check this place out in the middle of the park. The service was kinda slow but I feel that most places are like that in Paris. All the food was really good but if we went back I'd pass on the crepe. It was paper thin and nothing to write home about. Also since it's outside expect to have smokers around you while you eat.
