All good, too much professional, the soul of the founder misses once he’s not in…

I found the food to be fine and not something I would expect from a Michelin Star. However, service was real something: after sitting, my service just started when 2 other tables arrived at 19:30. The pace of the meal was erratic varying from fast to real slow. At last, the wine pairing didn’t valued neither the wine nor thw food

+1Exceptional food that is delicious, creative and beautifully served. Go with the wine pairing; it definitely accentuates the complex flavors in the food.
5.0
Bland food, service started well but became inattentive from the middle to the end of the tasting. Poorly maintained bathroom, floor full of water.

The chicken was very good. Service was excellent. However, the location of the restaurant was not easy to find.

+2It was a good experience and enjoyed trying new flavour combinations. They take care to cater for food restrictions and confirm before the menu is chosen at the start of the meal (4 v 6 courses) - I wish some of the variations where an ingredient is used in different ways have felt less gimmicky as it was too much "declination" across entrees and main and some times did not feel so different. The desserts were absolutely spectacular and very fresh and tasty!

Excellent food and service.
4.0
We came with high expectations given its Michelin star, but the experience was disappointing. The 6-course menu took nearly 3 hours — the pacing between dishes was extremely slow, and it was clear there wasn’t enough staff to keep up with the level of service expected at a place like this. The food was well-executed but lacked any real surprise or excitement for the palate. And the ambiance was virtually nonexistent — the space felt flat and lifeless. Overall, the experience didn’t live up to the reputation.

+1I visited for the Valle du Rhône tasting menu and was not disappointed. The staff are professional, expertly knowledgeable, and attentive. The dining room was unpretentious yet elegant. Each course and the wine pairing were presented with care and the staff invited further discussions that led to more depth to the entire experience. The foie gras, pigeon, and cheese courses shined for me, but I enjoyed each one. And then there was the wine. Oh, the wine! They paired effortlessly and always left me wanting for more. Sensing my wine snobbery, the sommelier left the bottles and decanters on my table after each pour, which gave an extra layer of depth to the experience. The entire evening was magnificent and never hurried. This amazing restaurant is a must for me on my next trip to Paris.

We were excited to try this Michelin-starred restaurant, but the experience fell short. As vegetarian and vegan diners, we received repetitive vegetable-based dishes with no protein or creativity. Service felt cold and disengaged, and the atmosphere was uncomfortable — the room was warm, the chairs were heavy, and the table was too cramped. We were also surprised by hidden charges, like €9 for a bland tea. Overall, the meal lacked flavor, variety, and hospitality. Disappointing, and not reflective of what we expect from a Michelin-rated experience.

First time at this Michelin Star restaurant. I selected the 4 service menu. Overall the meal was nicely prepared. The entree was a little light on the quantity with a tablespoonful of cauliflower puree that indeed melted in your mouth and a few razor thin slices of cauliflower. The first main course was ONE white asparagus split in half with a three small slices of nicely seared mackerel. The second main course was nicely prepared cod (but served with mashed potatoes ... really in a Michelin Star restaurant?). For me the best course was the rhubarb strawberry dessert with a "sloppy canal" of ice cream. I would come back because at just under 80 euros, the meal met me expectations of value. But execution and creativity have room to move up.

Overall, left unimpressed and disappointed by Fleur de Pavé. After a poorly-paced 4 hour meal with multiple 10-20 minute gaps in service, I was scratching my head at how they received any Michelin-level recognition. Of the first few courses, the theme was bland, with some recovery in the monkfish (still slightly overcooked and bland), and lamb dishes. Desserts were okay. Multiple times, I craned my neck around looking for someone to fill my empty water glass, settling on being patched for a while. While this restaurant does have the distinction of being one of the more affordable Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris, my guest and I were ready to wrap things up 2 hours into the experience.

The subtle tastes were a nice surprise to every dish.

The food was very unique and really wowed our flavor palettes! Presentation was a beautiful work of art. We did not know if we wanted to eat it, or just stare and admire it all day. Will definitely visit again!

the dishes were very original and deliciously made, the staff attentive and polite, helpful. not too big and not too small, feels like a great experience.

Creative chef’s menu, with unexpected yet delicious flavor combinations.
6.5
The general mood was very quiet and almost executive. Not music, no vibe. I love peace but it was almost too quiet. The staff were lovely but we sat there for over 20 minutes after we arrived before we saw a menu. If the restaurant was vibier, or a bit more interesting we would recommend it because the food was delicious, and the wine was lovely, but overall the whole experience was just a bit awkward! Not worth the price.

Great food.

Rich flavor of food. Presentation could be better
5.0
Whole experience was not what we were hoping and expecting. Ambience was of a simpler restaurant. Food for me was nice, with signature cauliflower dish being a wow. For my partner nothing was very interesting. And most of all service was not what one expects from a one star Michelin restaurant (explanations of dishes only when I asked, sommelier who recommended our wine choices - served us in correctly, error made on total bill (including tip) was met with a reaction of not knowing how to correct it).
