    We come every time we are in Paris and enjoy the music and the food every single time. Don’t miss it.

    I am writing in English. First, they do not accept credit cards and cash only. We ordered a bottle of Sancerre and the waitress brought it to the table with the cork mostly out of the bottle and she did not present it to us. It tasted like a very cheap vin ordianire and not a Sancerre. We both had the burrata and tomato salad. Kind of bland and the bread accompanying was the worst baguette ever. Then my husband had the scallops which when served were cold and I had the gambas which were OK. We arrived early 7:25 and we were charged for the live jazz that did not begin until 8:30. We had understood that this was includd if one had dinner. Nice ambiance but I would suggest going for a drink and listening to the jazz and not dinner. Improvements are needed. And although the piano player was excellent and the jazz singer good they relied on old reliable hits and did not have anything "cutting edge" jazz or new, in their first set that we heard before leaving and paying a hefty bill.

    We go here every time we are in Paris. We have always had a warm reception: the ambience is amazing, the service friendly and relaxed and, of course the music….

    Dinner and live jazz at Chez Papa was wonderful experience for my husband and I. Our food and the service was perfect, including a warm welcome and periodic service by the host (beside our wonderful server). Compliments to the musicians, too!

    This was the worst dinner I ever wrote about! Food was terrible, compared to hospital food... First we ordered duck patte, worst ever, then we decided on cheese platter rather than individual cheese order, and walla.. plate came with literally 4 thin pieces of ordinary cheese, and scooped of jam. The main meal was dolmenico steak, that came like a joke, thin like I've never seen it before with scooped of sliced and boiled potatoes.. no garnish, no nothing. The second meal was code fish with white rice.. plain, cooked probably on the steam, plain rice, not garnished or even tried to decorate it. So, if I can give -10 on food, that would be the evaluation. The music was so and so.. as this was not the main performance day. If you are to order just appetizers, the music charge is 15euros per person. Very disappointed with the evening that was supposed to be the highlight of the trip.

    The reservation we had with Fork didn’t give us the correct time. The restaurant was even open that early. The staff at the restaurant asked us to come back in an hour so we had to waste time. The dining experience was fine but the entire experience was disappointing.

    Wow. A very special evening. It was the celebration of our 50th Wedding Anniversary, and we were blown away by the beautiful and amazing quality of the pianist and vocalist. To top it all we were treated to a song especial for us. Thank you so much ‘Chez Papa’

    We reserved ahead and requested good seats to enjoy the music. We got perfect seats and the staff made sure we could take our time (no hurry) enjoying the dinner and the music. The Duck-breast and Veal were truly delicious!

    We had a wonderful dinner starting with wine and an appetizer of Warm goat cheese on apple slices. I ordered the scallops and they did not disappoint. My granddaughter had Duck breast with potatoes. Both dishes were great! The ambiance and the Jazz made for a perfect evening in Paris.

    This place is absolutely magical. I have been here a few times, and every time has been amazing. Wonderful jazz, wonderful atmosphere, great food and wine.

    Amazing place if you like live jazz and want to meet a great team of people who make it fun to be there. The food is good, not great, but that’s not why you go. I had a fresh apple/goat cheese salad and the beef filet with some nice wine and was very happy. The vibe is amazing with family & friends working to bring you the best hospitality in a jazzy environment. It’s a plus that the music is amazing but not too loud so you can still have a conversation and hear your table mates. But who wants to hear them with all the great live music playing?

    Wonderful ambiance - lovely jazz duo that played from 8:30pm into the night. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. We enjoyed escargot, warm goat cheese & apple salad, 2 veal dishes, and the most perfectly prepared duck I’ve ever tasted. Crème brûlée and sorbet were perfect to finish the meal. A superb dining experience all around.

    a quiet night as everyone gets back from the pandemic. However, the food, ambiance, service and music all made up for a memorable evening. Looking forward to our next visit.

    The escargot were very dried, not enough butter. The beef was over cooked. We were rushed to order our food, we ordered a bottle of wine appetizers in the first 10 minutes of arriving and needed some time to read the menu for our mains. The waitress came 3 times asking for our main dish order within 30 minutes of arriving. We arrived at 7:30pm and the music starts at 8:30pm (we didn’t know when booking) I guess they wanted to rush us out. The group was not good at all. I will never go back

    Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience! The staff was really helpful and friendly. Even though they did not speak English in full - they went the extra mile to explain everything in English). We also arrived earlier than the official opening and yet they accommodated us inside instead of making us wait in the cold of December. Therefore, higher score for the staff. Also higher score for the atmosphere: a nice cozy layout with a warm feeling and indirect lights and candles. The jazz repertoire is also very pleasant to the whole experience. Finally, the food was also above my expectations…my steak was beautifully cooked and tasty, which made them get my full score as well. Definitely worth the visit!
