The food was delicious. We loved everything we ordered, from the ricotta truffle ravioli, foie gras, ribeye steak, and sea bass. The hospitality was great. The ambiance was very nice. Had a memorable dinner here with my family.

I visited this restaurant with my family and we had a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely excellent — fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. The service was also outstanding; the staff were warm, polite, and made us feel right at home. It's the perfect spot for a family meal, and we will definitely be coming back!

This is my favorite restaurant in Paris! Everything we’ve ordered is delicious (truffle ravioli, duck breast). Reservations recommended as there aren’t many tables but you will not be disappointed.

We have been coming to JJ Paris since 2017. The food has been consistently excellent. Favorite dish is the truffle ravioli. The duck and steaks have all been great.

We found JJs 2 years ago in the rain and I have a devil of a time trying to remember what it was called when I knew we were coming back to Paris. It was worth it! Lovely small French restaurant and you cannot beat the atmosphere! Old beams and hand made nails in the walls. Even better menu and wine list!

We went to JJ regularly when we lived in Paris several years ago and loved the food and the ambience. When we returned, it was a pleasant surprise to find that both were even better than we remembered. It’s a neighborhood treasure that has aged well.

From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed and made to feel comfortable. The staff were so friendly and helpful and gave our group of 8 all the information we needed when choosing our meals and wine. Thank you to JJ and especially the waiter!

Nice neighborhood restaurant with limited menu, but daily specials. We were early diners so enjoy a quiet dinner for most of the visit. Food was good, but not outstanding.

Last night in Paris. Loved it all, was looking forward to a great special menu, heard so many people comment how great it was. Ours was great favor but not as amazing daily menu, which happens in life, tomorrow it will change, so nothing wrong, totally enjoyed our evening, food was on spot, was hopeful for menu others had, but such is life, would always return any night.

The waiter was very attentive and explained the menu. The fish sea bass was very tasty and my daughter loved her steak they cooked it beautifully. The fries that went with it were delicious. It’s small and very intimate

Incredibly friendly staff, but unfortunately no atmosphere at all, and the food was just okay and not worth the price.

Great little neighborhood bistro. Nice atmosphere. A lot of locals dining there as well. Service was a little slow after the place filled up around 9:00. I found this too be the case in many places we went to though because they all seem to only have 2 waitstaff maximum working the entire restaurant.
