I was very excited to try out Arpege since it’s the first 3 star Michelin in Paris that focused mainly on vegetarian dishes. Over the years it has branched out to offering an additional dish of either fish or meat if you choose to do so. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise honestly. I love vegetables and I try to eat healthy but I don’t believe in compromising taste… Arpege accomplished that and got me excited over vegetable dishes?!?! They were very creative and the culmination of taste was perfection. Lots of dishes so you won’t be bored. I mean even my husband enjoyed it and he’s definitely more of your typical steak guy lol. This Michelin restaurant is absolutely worth it, and we have been to a lot. The chef did such a phenomenal job on practically every dish; one dish I loved so much that it almost converted me to be completely vegetarian lol.

One of the best vegetarian foods in the world, Chef Alain Passard is so friendly!! In addition to concentrating on cooking in the restaurant, he also grows vegetables, planting three gardens to provide fresh vegetables and fruits for the restaurant, so delicious!! Happiness ~ 😇😇😍😍❤️❤️

An amazing experience, The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish offered a harmonious balance of flavors and textures, exquisitely plated with artistic flair. Every bite was a testament to the culinary expertise of the Chef. Emotional lunch. Thanks

I have been to some Michelin stars restaurant before and to be honest, the food was very average here. We didn’t have a unique experience. It was very veggies focused, only one fish dish and one lamb course, both very small. Doesn’t worth €500 per person at all… Also, the service wasn’t the best…

Incredible meal. Pacing was perfect. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and delicious- The grated onions and the beet tartare were our favorite. Chef Alain Passard is amazing - It was great getting to meet him and tour the kitchen after our meal

Quiet restaurant. Well cooked food, almost to perfection, but unfortunately the flavour combinations didn't blend at times. We had the Langoustine Ravioles, perfectly cooked, the flavour profile of Parmesan, orange and avocado didn't work for me. The lobster couldn't have been better cokked or served, but the accompanying puree was a bit salty. Worth a visit.

What a way to end our Paris trip! The staff was excellent, the food and wine pairing even better. They were easily able to accommodate nut allergies without sacrificing quality one bit.

We wanted to try a Michelin restaurant during our visit to Paris and Auguste provided us with one of the most memorable highlights of our trip. The lunch menu, for a Michelin starred restaurant, was an incredible value proposition (less than 50 euros per pax at the time of writing) and we even paid a little more to try their reccomended red mullet dish. The flavors and attention to detail shine through each of the three courses we had for lunch. Special mention to the sorbet, probably the best we have ever tried anywhere. We would also like to commend the waiters for their excellent service and explanations on the dishes we tried.

The best Michelin star restaurant I had during my time staying in Paris. All dishes are tasty, creative, and flavors are well balanced. Details are also habdled carefully. The service is also up bar. The price is very reasonable. If you can only have one Michelin star restaurant during your stay in Paris, try this one.

Craving a crepe? Nothing better than an intimate, yet warm restaurant near the Rodin and Napoleon Tomb. They speak English and take Amex which was a nice bonus.

We popped in around 9pm on a Wednesday and it was just us and the owner. He speaks excellent English, was very friendly, and the food was exquisite. I had the Duchess crepe and my wife had the Breton, both were served steaming hot with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream melting in the middle. These are next level crepes, not like what you get from street vendors, far superior. I also had the Cafe Liégeois, so very good. I would bet everything on the menu is delicious.

We were walking from Louvre to the Eiffel Tower, and happened to be in this street around lunch time, so we went in this small restaurant in the heart of Paris. The owner of this place is such a friendly and energetic person, fluent in several languages and extremely endearing. The food is beyond description, you should just go there and try it! I recommend you to get cider, a galette (salty pancake) with small green salad and a crêpe (sweet pancake) as a desert. If you are coming with friends, get at least a bottle of cider and one small green salad is fine to be shared.

Stumbled upon this place before going to the Rodin Museum. 2 crepes, small salad, and 1/2 bottle of wine for 34 Euros. The buckwheat crepes were outstanding. The wine was good excellent although everyone else was having the cider. Would definitely recommend.
Don Burns - 5 years ago

Found this place while walking the streets of Paris. Now when ever I am back in Paris it will be a must stop. Both the buckwheat crepes and the sweet crepes were excellent. I had a duck and egg crepe. My wife had a breakfast on with egg, cheese, and bacon. We then shared a banana, Nutella, and ice cream crepe for dessert.

Great local spot for a tactical pint before or after class, or a quick coffee if you don’t have a drinking problem like me. Outdoor seating in summer is nice too, across the road and the staff are always sure to keep your glass full.

Nice French bistro. Cozy indoor venue. Staff were friendly and efficient. Good wine by the glass. Tasty green beans with Parmesan and steak with salad and fries. The molten chocolate cake was good. Prices were good for the portions.

Atmosphere and decor is fantastic. Great service. Food wise, overall very tasty, lobster bisque was a little salty but the chicken and desert was on point.

Needless to say, we’re really disappointed with all the dishes served. Nothing unique, nothing great and special about it. Very unexpected since we saw good ratings on this restaurant. Ambience: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Food: 3.5/10 Wine: 9/10 We took the dégustation menu for dinner at 59€ per person, where the chef actually decides what to serve for the entire meal for all guests. (Which was a mistake to be frankly honest) — 2 petite versions of entrées, plats, and desserts at 59€ per person ~ not including the wine and drinks The 2 entrées were sadly either under seasoned or blandly cold: mushroom velouté - tastes like a normal mushroom soup, lacks salt and taste. Veau with pecorino - not really a pleasing dish, feels like i ate airplane food Plats: Fish with black rice risotto and black garlic- this is the most decent dish we had that night. Pretty good, but not wow. Volaille with mais purée and popcorn- this was a let-down. Most of our chicken was so dry, and the purée was just ok. Sauce has lack of flavor. Dessert: Chocolate fondant with hazelnut ice cream- best thing about this dish: the ice cream Île flottante - we’ve had better. Again nothing special. The only reason why i put 2 stars is for the service. Pleasant servers and always smiling. But overall, it did not compensate our taste, experience and expectations on this restaurant, especially for the price. It was our first and sadly it will also be our last visit here.

Everything was wonderful. The food was even better than I had hoped (we read a lot of reviews so had high expectations)!! The only thing that made it a bit uncomfortable was it was quite hot. Opening a window or two would have helped immensely. Otherwise, so incredible and highly recommend!!

Exceptional! An administrative restaurant which offers very good cuisine worthy of a good Parisian restaurant! It's varied and tasty in a pleasant setting and with quality service. This is the best administrative restaurant!

Friendly service people. However, the choice is limited, very limited for people with a meat-free diet, for example. They have a choice of fish and a predefined vegetable side dish. They are deprived of fries all year round because they are only reserved for grills. A self-service system for side dishes would be welcome, this would allow the customer to compose their plate as they wish. The vegetarian dishes and desserts are generally very well prepared. Allergens and ingredients used in processed foods (sauces, soups, desserts, starters) are not mentioned anywhere.

A superb discovery of a small restaurant with warm decoration and an unusual setting with a large, super beautiful old fireplace at the back and the kitchen open to the entrance to the restaurant. The welcome and service are friendly and attentive. A small menu with a selection of good dishes to my taste. I had a beef tataki as a starter and poultry to accompany the mushrooms and truffles. It was absolutely delicious! The particularity of this place is that the dishes are almost prepared before your eyes, so great confidence in fresh products and the cleanliness of the kitchen. The value for money is more than satisfactory. I highly recommend. Well done to the chefs, thank you to the staff.

This restaurant is incredible. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I speak very poor French and they were very patient and so helpful. They have an English menu as well. I ordered an iced latte, the avocado toast, and the creme brulee. It was one of the best meals I've eaten in Paris. The toast have extremely fresh ingredients, the perfect amount of cream cheese and was delicious. The portion was filling and satisfying without being heavy. The prices are a little bit higher than some other restaurants I've been to, but it is really explained by the incredible quality of the ingredients. I can't recommend this place enough. The creme brulee was the best I've ever eaten.

Went a bit early so there was not much of an ambience but it was cozy. the only not great thing for me was that the smell of tobacco was too much. The cocktail I had was tasty, a moscow mule, fairly priced.

Awesome small bar in a quiet street. All four cocktails we tried were excellent and fairly priced. Bartender very friendly. Highly recommended.

Poor cocktail quality, bartender doesn't know how to make cocktails from menu. Smells bad inside and not clear how this place have rating 4.4. Aperol Spritz the worst ever.

As I strolled past the newly unveiled restaurant situated just across from my hotel, curiosity pulled me inside. To my delight, I was welcomed by the owner who happened to be a single woman, an empowered woman! 🙌🏼 Everything on the menu looked yummy, but I opted for the stewed beef with white rice, my order arrived quickly, revealing a culinary masterpiece. The meat, exquisitely tender and flavorful, paired harmoniously with the fresh and delectable bed of rice. It was a delightful experience, marked not only by the scrumptious flavors but also by the empowering presence of a friendly staff. I urge you to give this place a try and support a small business.

Lovely small venue on an otherwise very gentrified street, full of atmosphere and lovely staff. The food was amazing, full of taste and much more satiating than what you would expect for that price in Paris. Highly recommended

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Authentique, an Algerian Kabyle restaurant, and it was an amazing experience. The food was not just delicious but also felt deeply authentic. Knowing that the cooks behind these fantastic dishes were two sisters who clearly love what they do added an extra layer of warmth to the whole experience. It felt like more than just a meal; it was like being welcomed into a family's kitchen. I highly recommend the Authentique to anyone looking for a taste of Algerian cuisine

If you really want a traditional Algerian food, l’Authentique is the right place for it. Very delicious couscous, and the staff is very welcoming. Highly recommend this place
