It was an interesting experience to try the kushiage concept (Japanese deep fried food on a stick). We took the 58€ menu to have the sashimi, sushi and palate cleanser on top of the basic 48€ menu. The frying technique was good, crispy, no soggy (except the scallop). But not much flavors lingering in my mind though, or maybe we are too used to french dishes which always pair the main ingredients with the sauce to elevate the flavors. In any case, worth a try for the concept. Ps: we really liked their green mustard

It was good but did not keep up to our expectations. The service was super friendly and fast. We ordered the menu with the extra sashimi. All in all, you get plenty of small dishes. They are good but miss richness in flavor. On the other hand, the sauce given to the fried sticks, tasted like a very salty Worcestershire sauce not fitting in my opinion.

The food was great and the chef was so welcoming. Thank you very much for a great experience.

We tried 58 euro menu. 1 more sashimi and Chazuke than the 48 euro menu. 15 different fried meat, vegetables and seafood. Try the Sake there to pair the fried food, it will give you some fresh feeling. The price is very reasonable for Paris. Recommend people who like the fried food to visit, but not a place for good sushi or sashimi.

The sashimi was in my opinion the star of all the courses presented. The place specializes in tempura. I have to admit that everything was great to the exception of the rice soup that was too salty and some tempuras like the courgette or brocoli lacked some in depth flavors and the matcha dessert that was too sweet for my taste.The squid and the foie gras tempura were outstanding.

By far most romantic dining experience in Paris. ❤️❤️ The venue was elegant and beautiful, steeped in history, with a charming staff. We dined on the third floor in a spacious room offering stunning views of the river. The food was excellent, and the waiters were attentive. We arrived early to enjoy a drink in the exquisite downstairs bar, enjoying the delicious French Kiss champagne cocktail. The entire evening was incredibly romantic, making for a truly special night in Paris as we soaked in the ambiance of the city's historic dining experience. You can make your reservation on their website which requires a credit card to secure your reservation. It was an amazing way to spend our last evening in Paris. We enjoyed reading the history of the restaurant as it was established in the 1700s. A memory we will forever cherish.

Very atmospheric, wonderfully decorated, with a lovely pianist 🎹 singing live. The food was excellent, delicious 😋 and very unique. The restaurant offers French cuisine.

What a fun place with wonderful food and great atmosphere. They have a few different floors and next time I will ask to be seated on the floor with live music. We went with friends and everyone was very pleased. We loved it and we will be back!

The best dinner i’ve had in Paris in all my visits to this city. When you first walk in you are greeted by the hostess and to your left will be a bar area where you can grab a drink or wait for your reservation (also a good photo spot), and then you will be taken upstairs to either the second or third floor for your dinner. It was my birthday and I had requested to sit at the top floor for the live pianist (my reservation was for 8:30, pianist started around 9). The ambience of the live piano and singing really added to the entire dinner. The artist was so talented, absolutely stunning voice. The staff were fantastic with top notch service, and the food was delicious as well. For appetizers we ordered 30g caviar with blinis, smoked salmon and mini baked potatoes, and snails. For the mains we had truffle pasta (love!!!) and the chicken supreme. My chicken was a tad bit dry but there was plenty of sauce so I didn’t mind it. The pianist even played and sang me happy birthday when they brought out the dessert for me. I am so glad I chose to spend my birthday here!! Thank you for your hospitality Lapérouse ❤️

Highly recommend fantastic service and the history of the building is just fantastic. My only warning is be careful if you want to split the beef stroganoff. They will charge you for two people which is €170.

At first, French cuisine was never my option. I might not have experienced it well before, but this restaurant changed my perspective on French gastronomy. The service was proper yet casual in true Parisian style, which impressed me a lot. The frog legs, duck, and macaroni (forgot the name), even the vanilla ice cream and chocolate, all exceeded my expectations and became some of my favorite foods of all time. I will definitely come back every time I’m in Paris

Allard is a classic Parisian bistro that brings a taste of traditional French cooking to life. Located in the picturesque Latin Quarter, the restaurant boasts a cozy, intimate setting with vintage decor and a relaxed, warm ambiance. The menu is rooted in French culinary traditions, featuring comforting dishes like sole meunière, roasted duck, and hearty stews. The service is attentive and the wine list offers excellent pairings to complement the meal. Perfect for those looking to experience the true essence of French gastronomy in a timeless setting.
Iulia Caminschi - a month ago

My husband and I visited Allard on our first night in Paris for what was an epic 40th birthday dinner. The duck with olives was sublime. Accompanied by a lovely pinot noir from Sancerre and the gratin macaroni with comté, the meal was perfect.

This place is average and definitely doesn’t deserve the wrap that it gets, too many tourists. Everyone speaks English as a customer so that means no locals eat here, the food is average to say the least, nice but okay , hefty price tag for a very mediocre meal besides the typical French culture of wanting to kick you out as soon as possible. I wouldn’t recommend as there are plenty of nice places in Paris to eat, even if you just walk along the street. Okay but definitely no 5star service you can find elsewhere. Very disappointed.

In the heart of Saint Germain des Près area, this is an authentic and almost centenary Parisian bistro which is now part of Alain Ducasse Group. Serves classic French food, particularly good is the duck with olives. Very popular with both locals and tourists.

The cozy atmosphere and wonderful service made this dining experience a true highlight to our trip. The food was delicious and fresh. It was a hearty, homemade French meal. My husband had baked fish and I had a ratatouille quiche. This did not feel like a space where many tourists visit. It was a wonderful find for us and gave us a chance to experience French cuisine not too far from our hotel. The server and chef were gracious. It is a place we hope to return to someday.

Dropped by this quaint place during our son’s birthday. We were all tired from walking around the whole day, but there server really made us feel welcome, traditional French cuisine which was fantastic. They even gave us free slices of cake to celebrate our son’s birthday. Came back the next day to have more food and dessert :)

needed a warm place to retreat from the cold after visiting Shakespeare & Co. and stumbled upon this lovely restaurant. had tea while waiting for dinner service which only starts at 7pm. they have wifi if you need it. it's a beautiful, elegant and quaint space. i love that it's dimly lit, gives you a very 80s-restaurant -n french-movies ambience, along with the framed artwork and shelved books. ordered croquettes de camembert (most divine), daube de bœuf (which comes with tagliatelle) and the salad that comes with cheese. they were all delicious. the waitstaff were warm and friendly.

If you're a bit tired of crowds, bistrot food or touristy spots this is an awesome little nook. Great homey French food (vegetables for the win!) with a calm atmosphere. Our family of three loved it after a busy four days in Paris.

Amazing cooking on the fish and meat. Lunch is a great deal for Michelin and was not too busy. They kept giving us more bread which was nice. I really liked the desserts, not too sweet and nice tart apple flavor for mine. Service in English or French.

Great restaurant! We went for lunch and the food was amazing, and absolutely worth the little surcharges. Service was top too, always made sure the (free tap) water was refilled, table clean, and so on. The coffee was very acidic (French, normal), that’s the only thing I could complain. But as said, it’s normal here 😁 Go: enjoy!
Lars Klein - 2 weeks ago

The best food we had in Paris! Michelin star is well deserved. We had the tasting menu, which truly wowed us! everything was very delicious and full of new tastes. My favourite was the zucchini flower dish. Such an incredible taste! The wine they recommended was heavenly! I would do my best to try and find a bottle of it, but had no luck so far.
Zeinab Sobhani - 4 months ago

The food was well balanced and flavourful. The standout dish for me was the dumplings and specifically the broth and the total overall balance of the dish. The flavours worked together and it was by far the best dish of the day for me. The other dishes were good, nothing too overdone and nothing trying to be too hard to be something they are not! The staff were great and I asked them to match wines with each of the courses which they did well. Most enjoyable experience and one I will highly recommend.
Mez OBrien - 5 months ago

We came here on a recommendation from a friend who lives elsewhere but visits Paris on occasion. We ordered the 3 course (starter +main+dessert) and paired wines to boot. The service is wonderful and charming and the food is very well plated (attractive to the eyes) and well seasoned for the palate. The wine by the glass recommendations were excellent as well. I would definitely come back here again to see what the chef and team invent to match the season.

Excellent Indian food. I lived in Mumbai for 5 months and also am an avid Indian foodie! I first came here 21 years ago & now I’m back in Paris I made sure to find it! Excellent food! The palak paneer is excellent and I remember the butter chicken was incredible too! I had the prix fixe menu with salmon tikka!

We booked this place based on Google reviews and were very satisfied. The staff were very hospitable, spoke English enough for us to order with no errors and were polite as ever. We ordered drinks, starters and mains and were not left waiting despite it being relatively busy. The food was outstanding. The lamb korma has to be one of the best I’ve had. I would highly recommend this place if you are visiting Paris and are looking for good dinner vibes in the Latin quarter. Ask for a seat by the window for some people watching entertainment!

Second time in this place, this time weekend and it was just wonderful. Ambiance, live singing and piano, delicious food and drinks, friendly staff. This is a place for people who love live singing and edgy panache atmosphere. We were lucky to have different performers and everyone is so talented. This place is for people with a soul 🥰 who appreciate warmth ams passion vibes. I always make reservations to guarantee immediate availability. Gets really busy after 9pm.

Food was OK, nothing extraordinary, the food arrived a bit cold, but the taste was there.. We didn't know beforehand, which show it will be so I would advise to check before booking. The atmosphere was good, it became very festive and dancing started late in the night :)

Unforgettable, real Parisian atmosphere at this cute piano bar. I am humming "J'ai deux amours" while writing this review :) The majority of the guests were locals, many of them regulars. The food was very good, the service was friendly and very attentive. I wish I could add some more stars.

The waitress, the food, the wine, the live jazz, the atmosphere....what can I say....AMAZING! My favorite part beyond the music was the intimacy of the restaurant/jazz bar. The service was quick. I could see the man in the kitchen working diligently to get everyone's orders out hot and fresh. The waitress had great recommendations for a snack and wine.
Blessed Abundantly - a month ago

We came here for drinks with some friends on Saturday night and we were pleasantly surprised when we saw there was live music. Very cozy and vibrant place. Even though we missed the happy hour, prices for the wine list were very decent for Paris standards. For beer lovers, they have an extensive selection of draught and international beer. The waiter was very attentive and nice to us.

We came to Monk for a late dinner and since it was pouring rain outside we decided to take a table deep inside the restaurant. From our table we could see the water running down the cobblestone street and hear the thunders but we were warm and protected from the wind and cold. We had the hamburger without the cheese and beef tab with French fries. Both portions were big enough to satisfy the strong appetite. The beef was very tender and juicy. It was served with a tiny dish with caramelized onions and a small garden salad. The service was quick and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The prices are reasonable too. It was interesting to hear Freddy Mercury, Queens, The Weekend and Ariana Grande as a background music in France. We also ordered a warm chocolate dessert with a vanilla ice cream, but couldn’t finish it. It was very good, only we overestimated our abilities. 😊 We had our very late dinner and when we left around 11:00 pm and there were still people in the restaurant. I definitely recommend you to try this place.

An unexpected place. We were walking, searching for a place to eat. We saw Monk and we decided to eat there and we didn't regret it! Great food and great service. We had the Quinoa salad, the onion soup, and the chicken fried. Great tastes to all! Also, quick service and professional!

We had a lovely dinner there, and it was lovely to have a real Parisian Bistro experience. We felt like we had been transported back in time. The French onion soup was delicious! The staff were friendly and attentive but didn’t rush us. We would highly recommend.

If you want to try frog legs, this is the place. Skip the frog hamburger though. Fried frog legs very delicious and crispy. So were the sauteed ones with garlic and parsley. Just too expensive - served only with French fries on a side. Friendly service and atmosphere, although the place itself is pretty dark on a side street.

When you think of Paris, you don’t generally think of Canadian pubs, but that’s exactly what The Great Canadian was. We stopped by at the recommendation of a Canadian friend and had a drink. It was a nice spot to watch some Olympic events and relax. We didn’t get any food because it seemed a bit on the expensive side for the vibes of the place.
Clay Goldman - 3 months ago

Visiting The Great Canadian Pub in Paris was an absolute blast! It was even better because I went with a Canadian friend who felt right at home. This pub is smack-dab in the heart of the Notre Dame area and offers a fantastic taste of Canadian culture in the oldest district of Paris. The vibe at this place is super welcoming and upbeat, making it the perfect spot to catch a sports match, whether it's hockey or football. And let me tell you, the terrace is something special. It's such a chill setting to watch a game while soaking up the Parisian atmosphere. Now, let's talk about the best part - happy hour! The timing couldn't be more perfect, with great prices that don't skimp on quality or experience. It's the ideal opportunity to mingle with locals and fellow visitors while enjoying the pub's top-notch offerings. And the food, oh boy! The poutine was absolutely mouthwatering, with the perfect blend of flavors and textures. And don't even get me started on the wings - they were cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Pairing them with a Canadian beer made for a truly authentic and satisfying meal. The Great Canadian Pub is an absolute gem for anyone craving a taste of Canada in Paris. Whether you're a Canadian, a sports fan, or just looking for a chill spot to unwind with good food and drinks, this place ticks all the boxes. I can't recommend it enough for its fantastic atmosphere, delicious food, and that amazing terrace setting.

The atmosphere looks good at first when you look around until you meet the bartender... what an attitude 🙄 This is called a "Canadian" bar and has 1 Canadian beer on tap, which is a beer from Montreal that isn't well known outside Montreal. I did not try the food because I got so much attitude from the bartender when I asked where all the Canadian drinks were I left! If you're going to call yourself a Canadian bar, at least smile and carry Canadian products. As a Canadian traveler, this was a disappointment...
Canuk Travels - 5 months ago

Wow, the poutin with pulled pork was awesome! Whilst I say this, I don't believe it was the pub itself is great value - definitely more for the tourists (like us) poutin was E17, half a pint of beer around E7! Great service though with very friendly staff. TVs galore - if you're after watching sport, where ever you sit in the place, you will be viewing a screen! TLDR - good tasting food, but not the best value...
