Absolutely wonderful! I enjoyed every second, one of the best meals I have had. Such a beautiful building, every where you look. The staff were very fast and attentive. I had the tasting menu with the wine pairings and every bite was just fantastic! I would recommend to anybody visiting Paris!

We wanted to visit this place regardless of the thought that it could be too ‘touristy’. We were really delighted that the place lives up to its reputation. The scallops were really well prepared and delicious. The escargots with parsley butter were very tasty and very well cooked.

Pleasant and helpful personnel guide you through the many menu service options. Lovely and vibrant setting provides a superb backdrop for an excellent Parisian lunch. I started with a half dozen oysters and turned to the seared tuna for a main course. Most enjoyable way to kick off my holiday in France!

An iconic spot. We stopped in for a mid afternoon treat. Took an about an hour to get a seat inside but it was worth it. The service was prompt but not the friendliest. We shared a pastry and had some beverages. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

While the entire experience of brunch at Cafe de la Paix was delightful. It was Soufiane who's service was a true standout and exceeded our lofty expectations.

I dined at La Fontaine Gaillon in Paris and was fortunate enough to enjoy the terrace, which truly sets this restaurant apart. It’s a timeless experience at the crossroads of a Parisian alley. The press has discussed about La Fontaine Gaillon, and its chef extensively. The cuisine is meticulous and creative, respecting the classics. The only issue is that it’s far too expensive for what you get on the plate in term of quantity, which is a pity.

I am in Paris often for work (just in 2023 I was in Paris 11 times) - and lived in Copenhagen for 3 years- and have traveled to more than 100 countries—- and I love this place. My gf and I stumbled across it- and it’s only been open 2 months- and can’t believe it’s not already packed of people (it’s only a matter of time). We had a classic French meal of escargot, steak au poive and green salad. And incredible cocktails. The service was above and beyond. And the decor is stunning. This place will be a regular go-to on my trips to Paris. Get here before everyone else learns about it- bc then you won’t be able to get in!

The service was great and the waitstaff were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The food was not bad .. it was not great. It was .. Ok. The food here is on par with what you might get at your local corner cafe -- except at multiples of the price. The restaurant is located in a wonderful part of Paris, but for some reason, the curtains were drawn so you felt like you could be anywhere. This restaurant is fine, but you can find much better in the area. Another thing: when I went to pay the bill, the card machine presented me with choices to add a 10%, 15%, or 20% gratuity. That was especially disappointing given that unbeknown to most foreign visitors, a 18% minimum gratuity is already included in all restaurant bills. I saw that as a deceptive way to squeeze out more gratuity from unsuspecting tourists. It just left me with a feeling that this is a low-class place.

Dining Experience at La Fontaine Gaillon La Fontaine Gaillon in Paris offers an exceptional dining experience that stands out in the city's vibrant culinary scene. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting, perfect for a memorable evening out. One of the standout dishes of the evening, the terrine de foie gras with quince chutney and toasted bread is simply unparalleled. The texture is silky smooth, and the rich, buttery flavor of the foie gras is perfectly complemented by the sweet and tangy quince chutney, making it one of the best we've had the pleasure of tasting. It’s a must-try for any foie gras enthusiast. The scallop carpaccio with citrus and passion fruit at La Fontaine Gaillon is an absolute delight, deserving to be savored with your eyes closed. The preparation highlights the natural sweetness of the scallops, paired expertly with the refreshing zest of citrus and the exotic hint of passion fruit, elevating the dish to a new level of culinary excellence. The saffron mussel soup with leeks and fennel is a true culinary masterpiece. The rich, aromatic broth is infused with the delicate flavor of saffron, perfectly complementing the tender mussels. The addition of leeks and fennel adds layers of texture and subtle sweetness, making this dish a comforting and flavorful starter. The sweetbread with morels and potato purée is an exemplary dish that showcases the chef's skill in blending rich flavors and textures. The tender sweetbreads are perfectly cooked, and the earthy morels add a luxurious touch. The creamy potato purée provides a comforting balance, making this dish a must-try for any diner seeking a gourmet experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring a seamless dining experience from start to finish. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, offering a variety of options that pair beautifully with the exquisite menu. We opted for Les Champs Des Billons white wine. This choice beautifully complemented the rich and varied flavors of our meal, adding an extra layer of depth and enjoyment to the dining experience. We finished our experience with the Red Fruit Pavlova, a delightful dessert that was both visually stunning and delicious. The meringue was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, filled with a generous assortment of fresh red fruits. It was a light and refreshing way to conclude a wonderful meal. Overall, La Fontaine Gaillon provides a dining experience that is not only delightful to the palate but also an indulgence in elegance and sophistication. Highly recommended for those looking to enjoy the finest of Parisian cuisine.

The best truffle pizza I’ve had since I came to Paris you should to try it , great service and nice atmosphere
dina Mohammed - in the last week

This has become one of our go-to restaurants in Paris. It's very close to our hotel and the food is consistently good. All the pizzas easily feed a person (usually with a slice or two left over) and some are quite large (they actually bring them out on 2 plates because 1 isn't big enough). My pizza was one of the large ones. The crust was thin and the edges were slightly more done, which I prefer. They were also able to accommodate my dietary prefernces by leaving off the cheese as I don't eat dairy. The service is really good, as well. We have one server that we love because she's so helpful and attentive, but we've never had bad service. I recommend making a reservation, as they are always quite busy. And while they may be able to accommodate you without a reservation, you will likely be subjected to a deep sigh and what I like to call the Paris "I can't believe you didn't make a reservation" eye roll. 😁 I highly recommend brecommend this restaurant for pizza.

The food was so delicious here. It’s predominately Italian food but done very well. The pizzas are huge and pasta’s just the right serving. The restarting is set in a small quiet courtyard which made it perfect for families with children as they could run around opposite the restarting without risk of being run over by a vehicle or scooter. The outdoor area is full of majority smokers however tables are far enough apart to not impact you too greatly if you don’t like it.

A modern-style refined Italian restaurant, this establishment has a high class atmosphere and on the quality of the cuisine it provides it certainly delivers. The Frettuccine al Pesto Genovese is a stand out for me, and the Tiramisu I shared was absolutely delicious. If you're staying around the Palais Garnier this is a dining experience I wholeheartedly recommend.
Noah Lopez Cuenca - 11 months ago

We had some of the best pizzas in Paris at this restaurant. We were with friends who are regulars here. Given the generous size of the pizzas, we ordered two pizzas for four people to leave room for dessert or maybe another dish, as we've heard the rest of the menu is also excellent. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by the service. The waitress, visibly stressed, responded to us that the owner no longer allowed pizzas to be shared. She then added "Is this for an appetizer?". This made the moment quite awkward. Unfortunately this attitude somewhat spoiled the experience, which is a pity considering the quality of the pizzas.

Amazing Parisian brasserie, keeping excellence at the heart of its 24h-open service with daily fresh seafood, amazing traditional dishes and refined desserts. I was a fan decades ago, years ago, months ago and still am. Congrats on the whole team, especially to the chefs, for keeping it up over time. What an achievement, what a pleasure to come back and still be surprised and pleased. 👍👏

We had a good dinner at this restaurant. We saw online that their onion soup was good and went for it. It didn’t disappoint! The soup was very tasty, although one of them had a little too much cheese. We also decides to get dessert and both of them were really good. They have some more elaborate meals, but even if you are looking for a simple dinner like we were, I would reccomend checking it out.
Carolina Novaes - 3 weeks ago

A truly Parisiene full service restaurant by the Opera. I had the 2 course dinner for €25 and three oysters for €7.50. Excellent value for the quality and location. Highly recommend! Guests are a mix and there are French patrons too which is reassuring. All staff speak fluent English.

Suggested by a store nearby so we went and had lunch. Very pricy for what it is. You pay for the location and all the waiters running around. Some were friendly but the one who took our order was rude. We ordered mussels with Chablis wine (I’m from the Chablis area,, very good wine), couldn’t taste the wine at all, you find better in cheaper restaurants. Got the salmon with spinach, good but pricy, nothing extraordinary about it. Got a goat cheese salad for the appetizer, no real taste to it, had to add pepper on each bite so it would taste like something and asked for olive oil to also add some taste to it, the oil barely tasted like olives. Originally wanted the veal dish but the rude waiter simply and rudely said I don’t have that. Got a steak with pepper sauce instead, I asked for it very well done, it was cut in the middle to cook it well I’m guessing but even with that it was pink inside. Very well done means very cooked. It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat your meat like that or it’s sacrilege for the cook, I’m the one who will eat it. And for 45€ steak with fries you can’t cook it well done without opening it in the middle or even opened for that matter ?!?! You should be able to cook a thick steak very well done for the price and that kind of establishment. The pepper sauce didn’t have any pepper taste to it. We will never go back to pay over priced food. Food is not bad it’s just the overall experience and again very pricy.

Known as a historic French restaurant, I visited with high expectations but found the experience somewhat underwhelming. The beef tartare was well-seasoned and enjoyable, but the chicken dish was quite tough and difficult to chew. Overall, the meal fell short of what I had hoped for.

What a fantastic find… recommended to us as French cooking at its best- and it was… a lovely menu of various courses and we tested/tasted many of them. Supper wine knowledge and recommendations which we appreciated - would definitely return - thank you

Excellent classic French dishes. The vol-au-vent and steak tartare were fantatic. Great wine recommendations. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is a beautiful setting, with excellent food and service. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. It does not have a bar but you are seated when you arrive and can order drinks from the table. An excellent experience a must when visiting Paris

The restaurant was very accommodating in hosting a large party with no reservations on last-minute notice. We were greeted with a settled welcome and a pleasant coat check-in service. Our group of fifteen was split into two tables but seated in the same room. Lights were deemed, and dinner service was promptly started. Overall, it was a joyful experience. Although the service suffered at times with a lack of attention, I attributed it to the circumstances around our last-minute reservation. Recommendations: Three meat Pate, Vol-au-Vent, Madeleine.

An excellent dining experience. Fast service, warm hospitality, and the QR code on the table allows for easy bill splitting (convenient for group meals). Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends!

Wide selection of offers freshly prepared Japanese meals. The salad I had was very good. Quick service. However I found the katsudon a bit salty for my taste.
Raian Razal - 2 weeks ago

Chasu ramen taste abit off, the pork still taste very “pork”. The shoyu soup gotten quite salty. Chahan was nice. Gyodon recommended, just as described in their menu. But the crowd was really a thing, when around 2030, waited maybe 40mins. But they have good service I would say. Can’t say authentic Japanese. But nice.

Tiny looking from outside restaurant hold plenty (I'll say like easy) 50+ seating places inside. Sometimes ypu have to wait outside to be seated inside but it's worth every minute of waiting. Super friendly and helpful staff will assist and try to help you to choose from available dishes. Take away did not take more than 10min waiting despite inside being fully crazy and almost every sit covered. It's one the the must visit and try eat in or take away 😋😋😋

We loved the dumplings as starters, very delicious. Our main dishes were quite good, but we‘ve had better. Service could also have been more friendly but I think considering the price, I‘d go here again. However, if I could, I would give this place a 4.5/5 rather than a 5/5.

Great bistro for wines especially Burgundy. The list is very interesting but of course many top wines were already sold out. The food needs attention as I don't think it was really good. I find it disappointing as they tend to use modern elements on the dish which is probably not needed. Sometimes less is more.
Eiling Lim - 2 months ago

This place was recommended to us by our concierge at the MO. We wanted to get a nice last minute dinner and this place was absolutely perfect. We were most impressed by the wine list and the bartender that gave us his recommendations. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about his wine. It was too impressive! The dinner and desert itself was very nice on its own! It was quiet and slow for their dinner service that night, so we got to enjoy some great food and a little bit of peace. Also, the cut on the steak was perfect! Beautiful marbling and it came through on the flavor.

Absolutely fantastic dinner from the wine selection to the exemplary service food was bang on true French cuisine. Was my first time here and if I was a local it would be my weekly. Thank you to Jvlien and crew for making us feel at home.

Very nice French bistro. The lunch was delicious and in case you got time for an extended lunch including a nice bottle of wine, don't forget to ask for the wine list. The choice of wonderful wines is as amazing as the dishes that get prepared in that small kitchen.

What an amazing place! Me and my wife went to the place with very late notice to the Resturant and they did the outmost to served us unique plates and cocktails on time before the kitchen is closed. We stay up to 1.00 am and still there are people inside having fun and enjoying drinks/wine/cocktails. I strongly recommend cucumber cocktail. Thank you guys we made our anniversary very special!

Awesome experience. The food was delicious and very well presented (the veau is super delicious, the best I've ever tasted). The staff is very cool and friendly starting from the waitress arriving to the chef. And what about the environment? Super cool, this open patio in which you can eat outside also during the winter. What else I can say? Go there.

Enjoyed a really lovely meal today in this busy little bistro. The place was fully reserved but fortunately the waitstaff were able to fit us in last minute. Literally every table was taken. There was also a queue out the front for people waiting for takeaway baguettes. We had some traditional French dishes such as sardines on toast, pate, a goats cheese salad and onion soup. Everything tasted wholesome and hearty. The venue is super busy so you need to be assertive when you want something, otherwise you could be waiting around. But, that’s not to say that the service is inadequate, it’s just very busy. And if you ask for something once, you’ll get it.. eventually. Service is delivered with a smile and our very polite waitstaff spoke to us in English which was very appreciated. This place is nothing fancy, but you leave feeling satisfied and full up.

Lovely, unpretentious bistrot with great stuff, food, and very reasonable prices. The escargot were amazing, and the duck was made just right. Not dry, not salty, as other reviewers have said. It's duck, not chicken, and it was done right. Very honest place. Added to my Paris trusted list.
Constantinos Loizou - a month ago

We felt right at home. All day we’ve been sightseeing and museum hopping, and then we got here and finally relaxed. The staff in the restaurant are all characters making jokes along the way. They have an English menu. The food is outstanding. We got a bottle of their house wine which came with a funky design. Onion soup was the best we’ve had so far, escargot came with a sauce to die for, the boiled eggs with mayo traditional dish was simple and delicious, and the foie gras came with fig jam and it was the perfect combination. For mains, try the veal with mushroom sauce. That sauce you can probably eat your leg with lol

Patience. That's what this place taught me, there is a long wait during lunch time. A wait to be seated and then another wait for the waitress to get to you for your order and then a wait for the food to get to you. Honestly quite impressive as she was bussing all of the tables herself and there were many tables. After the wait, the food is pretty decent. I had the escargot and they tasted great. They were already out of the shell so no hassle in getting them out and then you can dip the complementary bread in the garlic butter. Absolutely divine. I also had the duck confit. The skin was nice and crispy but it was a little salty to my liking. The potato and mushrooms were very flavourful. I didn't have the pleasure of sitting at the bar but the lovely gentleman could speak English and he seemed very lovely and friendly. I would recommend sitting at the bar if you get the chance!

Great traditional French food here, snail starters cooked in an amazing garlic sauce, but this was overshadowed by the amazing paté on toasted bread. The main course of rump steak, frités and pepper corn sauce was cooked with love and care, and was bursting with flavour. Creme brulee for dessert, a glassy crisp caramelised top and a smooth velvety vanilla filling just the perfect level of sweetness not too sweet. Great red wine and the spot is close to lots of bars + pubs if you want to carry on your night.
