9.5/10What an amazing experience. The presentation, quality and diversity of the prix fixe was exceptional. The sommelier created a perfectly paired wine tasting for our meal. Great experience in a great part of the city.

7.5/10I was looking for a special restaurant to celebrate a special occasion with my wife. The tasting of the 8 courses was satisfactory, even if we found the use of foam repetitive. The staff was very friendly and professional. The location left us perplexed because it was poorly maintained: peeling ceiling, ruined walls, microscopic bathroom. Overall we found the bill excessive compared to the experience, especially when compared with starred restaurants in Italy.

10/10A lovely ambience in this restaurant. Formal but not stuffy at all. Food was outstanding. The front of house team were short-handed due to sickness, but carried on regardless with great dedication and professionalism. A real treat.

10/10This was our second time and it will not be the last. If you want the tasting menu you have to let them know in advance. We didn’t book it and so had the set lunch menu. It was stunning from start to finish. From three delicious appetisers then the amuse bouche followed by starter main cheeses dessert and petit fours. The sommelier did a great job with the pairings. Fabulous service. Looking forward to our next visit.

5/10We showed up on a Saturday night and were almost the only people being served at the restaurant - the food quality did not deserve the price tag.

10/10Absolutely marvelous ! Thank you for caring so much about making your guests happy. You certainly deserve a second star; but it’s not what it matters. We feel your emotions and your heart beat in each dish; and that’s what matters! Keep it up. Thank you.

10/10Amazing taster menu lunch to celebrate a family birthday. The food and wine were absolutely sublime, friendly and professional service and a gorgeous spot on the terrace in the shade on a sunny day. Would return in a heartbeat!

7/10I think this was an off night for L'arcane. We were one of the few tables dining that evening so perhaps the kitchen was not enthusiastic on a slow evening. The service was also somewhat surprisingly lacking given again the few tables that had to be attended. The location and the ambiance of the room is however fantastic, and in comments, most people seem to like the food however we were disappointed. I think there are many excellent dining options in Paris, and this was underwhelming for a One Star Michelin rated dining experience.

9.5/10Amazing. Inspired dishes that deserve a full star. Daring combinations of flavors. Really worthy of the best in Paris. I recommend spending a few hours savoring the chef's creations.

10/10We booked this restaurant for our Christmas dinner, and it was beyond expectations! The food was fabulous, timed for delivery at exactly the right moment, the service was wonderful and the staff knowledgeable about each dish being served. The wine pairings worked perfectly with the food course and substitutions were made in both the food menu and the wine menu. An evening we will not forget, We will certainly go back.

9.5/10Lovely small restaurant with very professional and knowledgeable staff. The tables were widely spaced , ensuring privacy of conversations. We had the set, 10 course tasting menu, which was delicious and paced well to allow time to really enjoy each dish. The sommelier was able to guide us to a great wine pairing, which complimented each course very well.
