A return visit since this time last year proved to be slightly disappointing as I had excellent memories of the meal here. There was less on the menu that seemed appealing than in the past and the portions seemed just adequate with the dishes tasty but not as inspired as I remembered. The service was friendly and attentive and the wine list by the glass extensive and good.

Recommended for vegetarians and vegans. A very small but cozy typical french , parisien setting. Not a real “ haut-cuisine “ dining experience because of the small and crowdy setting; and little time between the courses. But for a night out in Paris a good idea to do. The place breaths Paris and the food and big variety of good wines are definitely a plus to the total experience. 7/10

Excellent experience and great Mediterranean original tasting food !! Everything was great but just one comment with the lobster taco which could have been better … we always want more lobster ;-)

Extremely personal and friendly service from Mr. Matar and his staff. Exiting combination between the Italian, French and Lebanese kitchen (when ordering the three dishes of the Lobster meny). The food was prepared, presented and served with perfection in all aspects.

We had such an amazing time at this restaurant. The very imaginative and delicious food was the star of the whole experience, but the friendly and welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable staff was also part of a special night. The wine list doesn’t disappoint. Will make sure to come back every time I’m in Paris.

The food here is very good but is not matched by the venue which is small. That would not much matter but the loo is seriously substandard and you really don’t want to end up sitting near it, which happened to us. Our food arrived cold but the waitress was very apologetic and got the problem sorted. Inevitably the price reflects the high quality of the food but not the venue.

The food was outstanding and the service matched. If you’re looking for a restaurant and Didon is a maybe make it a must you won’t be disappointed. We had the Scallops and Guinea fowl to start and the wild boar and duck for main course. The scallop dish is the best scallop dish I have ever tasted, I had the wild boar and it was so meaty and tasty, I had to get ever piece of meat off the bone which my shirt regretted but I didn’t.
Didon • Owner
Thank you so much Jonathan for your lovely review! We are thrilled to know that you enjoyed our cuisine, especially the scallops and the wild boar. Your recommandation really warms our hearts. Hope to see you again at another occasion, All the best, Didon

Well prepared and creative (but not overly so) food served by a very friendly staff who were very attentive to us during the meal. Small place with a nice ambiance. Prices were robust but not aggressively high. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for an enjoyable dining experience in Paris.

Thank you so much Charlie for your lovely review ! Indeed our restaurant has limited space and it is crucial for us that our guests enjoy their meal in a cozy and friendly atmosphere. We look forward to having you with us at another occasion, All the best, Didon

My wife and I visited last night and we can say with certainty our meal was one of the finest, most memorable dining experiences we’ve had anywhere in the world. The restaurant itself is quaint and elegant. The atmosphere was delightful, energetic but not overly loud, rare for Paris. The food was outstanding. The gnocchi was so mind blowing we had to order another one. Get two and you’ll be happy you did. What made the experience however, as good as the food is, was the hospitality/service. It felt like family serving us. They made us feel at home. We will no doubt be back next time. -Chris and Anna

Hi Christopher, Thank you so so much for your lovely words ! We were extremely thrilled to have you with us and the best reward ever for us is that you felt at home.

After a warm and inviting welcome, we had the best meal of our three month stay in Paris here last night. The pintade was exquisite, an exhilarating, creative exploration of flavors, perfect for an appetizer, but which I had for my main, my husband had the pork belly, cooked sous vide for 36 hours, rendering it, tender, and not fatty. We shared all three vegetable offerings, the grilled lettuce with yogurt-tomato dressing, mushrooms prepared three ways-mashed--incredible; 1 huge grilled one, and some kind of sauteed, and potatoes, steamed and twice fried walnut sized potatoes. It was. a bit too much food for us to eat any more, but we will go back for a smaller meal and have cheese and dessert courses. The wine choices were wonderful, especially being able to order a glass of practically anything on the wine list. We frequently have long stays in the area, and it will be our favorite restaurant, I can tell. The setting is small, attractive, cozy but not kitsch, just white stone wall, wood tables, with open kitchen behind the counter, and tables placed close together.
Didon • Owner
Thank you so so much Margaret for your lovely review! We are so thrilled to know that you enjoyed the pintade, the pork, the vegetables and our wine choices by the glass. We are really looking forward to having you again with us, Best regards, Didon

Outstanding service and food. Upon reading the menu, I was frankly anxious. to see if our guests would enjoy the offerings. The server was extremely friendly, explained the preparation of the dishes and made recommendations re wines by the glass. The food was outstanding - the duck and the grilled fish were excellent ! Highly recommend this place.

We were excited to try this Michelin star restaurant, but were disappointed. We had the sirloin and risotto, neither had much flavor. The risotto was more the color and flavor of lentil soup. The service was not bad, our waiter was kind and did his best.

Thank you Lucas for your feedback. We are sorry that the risotto and the sirloin were not up to your expectations. We’ll share your comment with our team and we’ll do our best to improve. Best regards, Didon

First time in Paris and was looking for a place with some originality and quality but with a French flair. I know I found it at Didon’s!!! Everything from the greeting, attentiveness and selection went so well. We shared a very good bottle of wine,priced a bit above our first choice, which was not available, but it was good and everything else went so well, this was no problem. We ordered the sirloin steak and duck with a side of potatoes. Both entrees good but in my opinion, the duck was superior. There were 3 dessert options, each a little different, we tried one with strawberries and another with kiwis -strawberries won!! Some nearby guests had the chocolate….they said it was very good but must share…you’ll be on chocolate over-load!, If you’re looking for a place to dine, you won’t be disappointed, oh, and food prices were quite fair.

I’ll start with the good, the food was decent. Other than that, we were sat so close to another couple we were basically in their conversation, service was slow and for over €250 for 4 people, it was well below expectations. Courses were very small and maybe that’s what I was supposed to expect at a place like this? But not for me.

This little restaurant looked like it's in the backstreets of Paris but it was so charming. Caroline and the rest of the staff their were friendly and helpful, the food (all has been grilled one way or another) is prepared by a master chef. We had the most tender of grilled lamb followed by a rice pudding that could only be described as a tickle to all senses. It was the best experience in Paris.

Absolutely the best dinner I’ve had in many years, and I eat out a lot! The waiter was extremely kind and helpful. The owner visited with us for half an hour, and was friendly and fascinating to visit with. The asparagus and beetroot appetizers were impeccable and the lamb was to die for! Literally fell off the bone and was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Chocolate dessert was rich and multifaceted. Do yourself a favor and book a table here. You won’t be disappointed I assure you! ❤️????????
