We had a delightful meal at hestia. Best restaurant we visited in Paris. Food was excellent, service was top notch. Sean was very kind and knowledgeable. Will definitely recommend to anyone coming to Paris. Thank you for an unforgettable meal.

This was the best meal we had in our week in Paris. The restaurant is beautiful and warm and welcoming. The staff were very understanding when we got lost and then stuck in traffic with our cab and ended up being late for our reservation. They seated us immediately and did not make us feel bad at all. Our waiter was funny and wonderful. I had the best pigeon I've ever eaten in my life. And then our waiter joked they get them from notre dame! The food is so delicious and flavorful. Portion sizes good as well. The 4 of us ladies split 1 appetizer, 3 entrees and 3 desserts. One of the desserts they accidentally gave us the wrong one so gave us the 3rd dessert for free. I will be highly recommending this place to anyone visiting Paris.

Hestia is located in a live street at the 5th quarter of Paris. It is recommended to reserve place quite in advance. The Menu is a little limited - but the food is excelent. Worth a visit.

My first meal in Paris, and what an experience! A divine meal and excellent wine pairings. I cannot say enough about the food and service at Hestia. Definitely Michelin star worthy.

The food was delicious, service was phenomenal, and atmosphere was super calm and nice. The space was decorated nicely and has a bright vibe. We especially enjoyed the beans that came with the fish.

We had a fabulous dinner at Hestia while in Paris! The service was phenomenal. The food was amazing, specifically the octopus dish (a special they offered) that I had that night. The restaurant was very welcoming. We also really appreciated the restaurant letting us shift our reservation due to a train delay. I highly recommend Hestia to anyone visiting Paris!

Small restaurant. (Just mentioning as it looks bigger in pictures). It is not very private for a romantic or business setting as tables are almost touching in fact they pull the tables out to seat guests. The basement is very underwhelming we were not seated there but passed through on the way to the toilette. The staff was excellent and the food was very good The location was perfect if you are finishing your day at or near Notre Dame

Good food, unsteady service. Waiters were visibly overwhelmed. Forgot our amuse bouche at the end, and didn’t pay much attention to us overall.

Lovely atmosphere, service and food. Wine list amazing too! For starters we went with the watermelon, feta & gnocchi with tomato sauce-delightful combination. Meal has the steak and meager fish-sea bass with succulent sauce to set it off. Had to fit in the poached peach dessert with lemon sorbet. Best meal in Paris!

We celebrated a friend’s birthday at Hestia while visiting Paris. We sat in the room downstairs which is a very nice and inviting room. The food was beautifully presented and very high quality, light and modern. My gnocchi starter was fluffy and delicious. Three of us had the cod with crunchy cabbage which was excellent. Sean, our server, was very professional and efficient. We will definitely go back,

Hestia is extremely welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is light and tastefully decorated. The head waiter was so knowledable on helping us choose our wines he was absolutely charming. The food was also exceptional. If I had to add an improvement it would be to the cheese plate I thought it could have been a little more interesting on the choice of cheeses especially given we were in France. Above all though I would recommend this restaurant and go back. Thank you Hestia.
