Paris restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Opera Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

A fantastic dinner and while the ambience is elegant, and refined, you’ll find that most people dinning here are casual The staff spoke English and were very friendly. Tip: Americans need to understand the time it takes for a full dinner service in France is a lot different than back in the States so sit back enjoy the ambience and experience and let the restaurant showcase their food, culture and their service. Portions are smaller but everything was well presented and delicious.

Very luxurious atmosphere and staff very elegant. Food is good. I regret the cold air flow in winter getting in every time someone’s open the door, despite the protection curtain. Tourist price, be prepared to pay extra for the surroundings but I’d say it’s worth it at least once.

Although the kitchen was eager to close early on NYE, it was the perfect early dinner before our show at the Opera. The service was professional, the atmosphere is luxurious, the food was aesthetically well-detailed and delicious.

We were greeted by Robin. He was so welcoming. We knew immediately we were in good hands. We changed tables, on their suggestion, bigger table to cater for the huuuuuuuge amount of shellfish 🦐🦐🦐 to follow. Maybe the Best oysters I've ever had. Jean Louis from Mont saint Michel took over...the service in this restaurant is some of the best I've ever had in Paris. I'm here 27 years. Proud to live in the neighborhood of this place...I shall be back!

Dining at La Fontaine Gaillon was an exquisite experience from start to finish. The mushroom pâté was a true testament to refined technique—silky, deeply flavorful, and beautifully balanced, offering an umami complexity that lingered on the palate. The fish course was simply outstanding: impeccably fresh, cooked to perfection, and elevated by a delicate yet expressive sauce that showcased the finesse of the kitchen. Desserts were no less impressive—artfully plated and thoughtfully composed, they delivered a perfect harmony of textures and flavors. The wine selection, expertly suggested by the sommelier, was a seamless match to the meal, enhancing each course with precision and depth. Beyond the impeccable cuisine, the service was polished and attentive, embodying the warm sophistication that defines Parisian fine dining. La Fontaine Gaillon remains a must-return destination—an address where gastronomy, elegance, and hospitality converge in perfect harmony.

We had a very lovely experience here. The service was great. Everyone was very kind and had no issues with us not speaking French. The cocktails were excellent and the food was very good. Our hotel recommended this restaurant and it was a solid choice. For traditional French cuisine with a modern twist and good cocktails, be sure to check this restaurant out.

Enis was our server and he made the experience very enjoyable. The food was excellent. The environment very romantic.

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 best truffle pizza I’ve had since I came to Paris you should to try it , great service and nice atmosphere
dina Mohammed - 2 months ago

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.

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.

This restaurants benefits from one the unique and remarkably beautiful spots in Paris that is both authentic and clean!! So you can inagine how sitting outside, being lucky to have the sun and then eating, drinking saomething here can be pleasant here!!! The artchitecture in this little square and buildings around it is amazing! So, i have given four stars as one is just for the vibe and unique view here. Then not all for the food experience!! In general the food was quite ok, we forgot to take pictures of all foods and one deessert we shared but all was quite OK! Just OK, ok?! From such Italian restaurant I expected more when I ordered veal milanese! Bdut for me it was not a "wow" kind of experiene neither the serving nor the taste.

I had the daily special while my friend tried the oysters. Both were fresh and tasty but nothing particularly exceptional—fairly average restaurant quality. For the price, the portions could have been better. Overall, a decent experience but not anything extraordinary.

The atmosphere in this place is wonderful; it has a vibrant and inviting feel that makes you want to stay longer. The waitstaff are exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile, which adds to the overall experience. However, the food itself is rather mediocre. While it didn't quite meet my expectations, I would consider coming back for dinner just to enjoy the warm and welcoming service provided by the lovely waiters.

We’re back after 9 years to celebrate our birthdays and Pe Grand Cafe did not disappoint. Sebastian was our server and he was excellent. Paid great attention to our table, was funny, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Come to this place to have excellent seafood platters! As well we took advantage of their dinner special consisting of starter and dinner for only €24.

“Drouant in Paris offered an excellent tasting menu that day, showcasing refined flavors and impeccable presentation. The sommelier guided me to a fantastic wine pairing, elevating the experience even more. The food was outstanding, though the service felt a bit rushed—my only observation. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great attention to detail.”

I visited with friends on Monday. The food was great, and the interior was fabulous. It could have been the perfect lunch if we had received professional service. We weren’t offered water until we were asked to be ready to order. On top of that, the waiter kept looking for something in his pocket intentionally, which was very unprofessional. Because of this, we decided not to order more food or wine. It’s no surprise they don’t even deserve one star. I strongly believe this is due to a lack of professionalism from the front-of-house staff. What a shameful experience.

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.

Authentic, delicious with friendly and attentive wait staff. The sommelier nailed our wine choices.

Great food. The queue was pretty quick. Went on a Friday evening. Service was good and the food came in faster than I expected. Definitely going to go back!

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!

They have the most delish spicy minced meat ramen here! Im a huge fan of it, though I feel like it comes with too little meat some times. The lighting here is BRUTAL at night, like very shot out, I would not come here for a date as its not as romantic with this type of lighting. It was very busy at night and the people we sat near is were all quite loud.

It used to be such a great spot to eat Japanese food. There are still some dishes that I think must still be good and difficul to miss but overall it seems like they are just saving money on quality Took a Kare udon it was the saddest meal, soup was watery which is not suppose to be.

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 😋😋😋

Was not impressed with the steak. My instinct was to order the duck confit but I have this rule that I will order a steak of its a steakhouse. The steak was cooked good but had no seasoning at all. 1-star. The other items were ok but not great. I will be back to try again because I believe second chances.

The view is amazing! About the food, i recommend the rib it was delicious. The beer was also good. The portion is not that big at all. The salad was big which was a surprise. The foie gras was reallllylyy good better than all the restaurant i have before. The service was good. The price is about 20+ for each dish.

Good steakhouse near shopping street. Clean restroom. Expect to spend more than 1 hour if you will order a steak. The service is a bit slow.

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.

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.

Stylish yet warm and comfortable decor, not your average Bistro. Lunch menu is reassuring and short. Food well prepared and well presented. Service attentive but not super professional. Only downside is that prices are quite steep for lunch compared with other good bistros.
Guido Merighi Buitoni - a month ago

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!
Yagos Stokas - 2 years ago

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.
