We booked based on the good reviews, location and that we wanted to try Oysters while in Paris. We arrived and were surprised by how few guests there were in the restaurant but we were greeted well and taken to our table in the corner. The menu was explained to us (we went for the €80 Michelin package) and we were excited to go ahead. The oysters were very bitter. The vitello tornado tasted like a dish that had been sitting in a fridge for days with a sauce that was covered in water. We did not eat it and were offered an alternative. We refused but were provided with a white asparagus dish instead. White asparagus is one of my top 10 foods to eat and is in season. Thus version had been grilled and was undercooked and insufficiently peeled. The main course fish dish had rubbery fish - the accompanying vegetables were actually ok but my dish was taken away before I could finish them (I think a mix up in communication which may have been my fault). Dessert was a deconstructed black forest gateau. It was fine, nothing special, and saved the overall food experience. Our 5yo daughter was catered for with a linguini in cheddar sauce which she devoured and wanted more of. Super nice staff, food not recommended at all. Maybe this is just a place for oysters and cocktails?

The food and ambiance here are just outstanding. Superb cuisine served by a very friendly, unpretentious staff. My wife and I shared a starter of a dozen oysters and they were very, very fresh. The mignonette sauce was the perfect accompaniment. For our main course, we both had the poisson du jour on a bed of pureed peas, with sauteed leeks. We loved the flavors! And as far as the desserts go, just pick at random. All excellent.

Great local neighborhood restauarant. My friends and I have been going there for several years after finding out about their “oyster” cocktail hour. The staff is Always courteous and helpful. The chef does a great job in insuring the quality of the food and in having an interesting menu.

This is a hidden gem. Best burger, chips, oysters, egg, shrimp and chocolate mousse I have EVER HAD. It was magical. I feel like it was fantasy with how good it was and the price was incredible too!

As a person who is looking for gluten and milk free meals, I would like to share my experience and let others be aware that the Michelin menu for the evening was adapted to my needs in all the servings from the bread till the dessert and it was as delicious as the regular menu if not more. Special thanks to the fantastic music!

Drinks, service and ambiance were all good but we ordered the special seafood platter for €120 which was disappointing. It was bulked out with cheap ingredients like whelks and the oysters were not great. Just lacked the wow da for for that price tag.

Booked at the last minute and was lucky enough to get a table. The food was delicious, the wine suggestion matched the food. Our party of three enjoyed it very much.

Istr was as good as expected. Great food, excellent service, nice ambiente. Somewhat pricy, but this is Paris. To our surprise it was not crowded. We can really recommend.

If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience, look no further than this restaurant. From start to finish, my visit was exceptional. The service was outstanding, with attentive staff who made sure that everything was just right. The vibe of the restaurant was also excellent, with a welcoming and stylish atmosphere. But the real standout here was the food. Every dish that I tried was outstanding, with an expertly curated menu that showcased the best of the restaurant's culinary skills. From the appetizers to the entrees, everything was top-notch and expertly prepared. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to come back again and again to try more of the menu!
