Everything is magical here. After the starter you think it cannot get better, yet it does. The service is everything you want service to be: discreet and informative. Congratulations to all who made it so.

The food at Le Christine is just out of this world. Le Christine is a restaurant I will go to again and again. The flavors, the presentation, the service everything was outstanding. Thank you, a truly wonderful experience.
Le ChristineDear Oddny Elin, Thank you for this review. We’re delighted that the experience resonated with you so strongly, from the kitchen to the dining room. We look forward to welcoming you again, L’équipe du Christine

This was my third visit this year while spending time in Paris, and the food continues to be exceptional. Each dish feels like a work of art, both in presentation and execution. Unfortunately, service and seating have consistently been an issue. On my first visit, I arrived just five minutes early and ended up waiting over 70 minutes for my table. The second time, I was seated in the front row of tightly packed tables, which offers little to no privacy. It’s fine if you enjoy being part of every neighboring conversation, but it was far too close for comfort. On my most recent visit, despite specifically requesting a more private table and asking not to be seated in that same area, my request was ignored and I was told the restaurant was fully booked. It’s a real shame. I would love to give this restaurant a five star review across the board, but the recurring seating and service issues unfortunately detract from what could otherwise be an outstanding dining experience.
Le ChristineDear David, Thank you for your continued visits and for taking the time to share your perspective. We’re genuinely grateful for your loyalty and for your kind words about the food, which mean a great deal to the team. That said, we’re truly sorry that the experience around seating and service has fallen short for you. Your feedback is heard, taken seriously, and shared internally. Should you choose to return, we would very much like the experience to reflect the level of dining you rightly expect from us. Warm regards, L’équipe du Christine

Went for my birthday. It was one of the most fun and whimsical meals I’ve had in a long time. The menu is exciting, challenging, and doesn’t care whether you like it or not; in fact you probably won’t like every dish served, but every dish is sure to be amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and if not for a petulant and jet lagged 14 year old the evening would have been perfect. I’m shocked that it doesn’t have a Michelin star because it’s easily on par with starred restaurants we’ve been to around the globe.
Le ChristineDear James, Thank you for choosing us to celebrate your birthday and for such a kind message. We’re delighted that you embraced the spirit of the menu and its playful side, and that the evening stood out as a memorable one despite a bit of jet-lagged teenage energy in the room. We hope to welcome you again on a future visit! L’équipe du Christine

We had an onion soup that was unlike any other onion soup I have ever tasted in my entire life. Truly - and I mean truly - spectacular. (And I'm not even a big fan of onion soup)
Le ChristineDear Arjen, Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re delighted that our onion soup left such a strong impression on you, especially coming from someone who isn’t usually a fan of onion soup. We hope to welcome you back soon for more surprises at the table. L’équipe du Christine

A hidden gem, with creative and very delicious cooking. The service was professional with a personal touch. The wine list was comprehensive, with quality wines on offer. The ambience was comfortable and inviting. Overall, it is a restaurant well worth trying and I will pay a visit to Le Christine again when I next visit Paris.
Le ChristineDear Justin, Thank you very much for your wonderful words. We’re delighted that the creativity of the cuisine, the service and the atmosphere of the restaurant all contributed to such a positive experience! We look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip to Paris, L’équipe du Christine

+5The incredibly creative menu with flavors that simply exploded in my mouth made my experience at Le Christine memorable. Every dish was impeccably executed, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. I walked into this restaurant with high expectations, and somehow they still managed to exceed every single one. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
Le ChristineDear Mariela, Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We’re delighted that the creativity of the menu and the warmth of the service all contributed to such a memorable experience. Exceeding expectations is exactly what we strive for! We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Paris, L’équipe du Christine

The Duck dish was a huge disappointment. Refused to take back and did not offer to replace
Le ChristineDear Magnus, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to read that your experience with the duck dish and the follow-up at the table did not meet your expectations. This is far from the level of attention we aim to offer, both in the kitchen and in the dining room. We hope you may reconsider visiting us in the future for a better experience. Best regards, L’équipe du Christine

The restaurant was nice and had low noise. The food was of excellent quality and originality. Wine recommendations complimented the food 100%. Surprisingly, the cost was reasonable for this gem of a place. Recommend the original onion soup and the duck! Bon apetit.
Le ChristineDear Maria, Thank you very much for all these compliments. We are delighted that you enjoyed everything, both the food and the wines as well as the atmosphere of our restaurant. We look forward to welcoming you again. L'équipe du Christine

We’ve had some wonderful meals in Paris, but nothing compares to our 6-course meal with wine pairing at Le Christine. The combination of superb cuisine, attentive service and warm inviting ambience made it an indelible experience for us.
Le ChristineDear Gord, Thank you very much for this review We are delighted that you enjoyed our 6-course tasting menu and the wine pairing. We look forward to welcoming you again. L'équipe du Christine

After 3 weeks in Europe and multiple starred meals, Le Christine will stick out as our most surprising meal. The service was not only professional but very detailed in the info provided about the food. Mind you, not too detailed but delivered in an informal, fun way to get you ready for an incredible meal. The food was absolutely stunning. Multiple layers of complexity. The only food that rivaled this meal was Steireck in Vienna and Yannick Alleno’s operation. Le Christine is conveniently located in the left bank, not far from the Pont Neuf and Notre Dame. Get there soon!
Le ChristineDear Steve, Thank you so much for your words! We’re truly delighted that your dinner at Christine stood out among your European meals and that both the cuisine and the service made such a strong impression. Hope to welcome you again next time you’re in Paris, L’équipe du Christine

We enjoyed the chef’s dinner which was a surprise at every course and we enjoyed the evening immensely. The sommelier was so helpful with pairing a lovely bottle with our dinner and then suggesting two glasses of white wine with one of the dishes. It was a great experience!
Le ChristineDear Maurene, Thank you very much for your lovely feedback! We are delighted you enjoyed our tasting menu as well as the wine pairings our sommelier suggested. Hope to welcome you again soon, L’équipe du Christine

I have dined here many times in the past and was always very satisfied. I’ve made it a point to reserve every time i visit Paris. This time was very different. The service was excellent but food was average. Not bad but not great like in the past. The prices are very high so my expectations are set accordingly. I have no issue paying for an excellent meal but this time the price/value was not in line. Everyone in my party had a similar experience.
Le ChristineDear Richard, Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions. We’re truly grateful for your loyalty over the years and sorry to read that this latest visit didn’t meet your expectations as before. Since the arrival of our new chef earlier this year, the cuisine has indeed evolved toward a more modern, instinctive expression - different in style, but crafted with the same passion and precision. Our young and creative team is deeply committed to offering memorable experiences, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you again soon so you can discover the new seasonal creations that are already receiving wonderful feedback. Kind regards, L’équipe du Christine

Today we had a most delicious repast!! We had the lunch « special » and boy was it special! It started out with a very interesting amuse bouche - very unexpected - our server showed us a small olive tree on our table - trompe l’oeil - and on two of the branches, there were « olives » that were completely edible olives that weren’t olives - they were a special bite with the most delicious tastes inside. The chef then sent out two beautiful « croquettes » that were light and flavorful - with potatoes inside along with a delectable cheese. We started with an amazing brioche that had bell peppers and cheese, topped by an artfully designed gelée. Then came the duck - an interesting take on barbecue - not a heavy, syrupy thing - but a spicy rendition of a lacquer. So nice! Served with a souffle of corn - so light!! (Remember - ducks eat corn!) We finished with a riff on Île Flottante and rice pudding - the chef showed his creative chops once again Wine was divine - a Bourgogne from Givry!
Le ChristineDear Francine, What a pleasure to read your words and to feel your joy in describing each course! Your detailed appreciation of the menu and its surprises, from the edible olives to the corn soufflé, perfectly captures the spirit of our chef’s cuisine: playful, creative and full of emotion. We’re thrilled that you enjoyed this moment with us, and the team will be delighted to welcome you back for another culinary journey very soon. Warm regards, L’équipe du Christine

+5The food was very delicious. Many of the dishes were dark in appearance, so it would have been nice to have some brighter dishes. The seating atmosphere inside the restaurant was better than at the entrance, so I would have preferred to sit there. The staff explained the dishes to me properly, which was nice.
Le ChristineDear Keiko, Thank you very much for this detailed comment. The chef places great importance on the presentation of his dishes, they can sometimes be dark depending on the product highlighted - our sardine for example, have dark tones, but others are more colorful. Now that you know our restaurant, please feel free to let us know your preferred seating for next time. We look forward to welcoming you again. L'équipe du Christine

We appreciated that the chef wanted to try some interesting ideas, however the execution was a bit odd (the olive tree) and repetitive (two cheese and pastry complimentary apps, ceramic vessels). The portions were very small for the price. The food was good but it just felt like they were trying too hard to be chic and did not focus on having a balanced menu with reasonable portion size. We are from NYC and have dined in many fine restaurants so we feel qualified to make this assessment. Everyone was pleasant, however one of the staff who waited on us did not speak English and had trouble communicating. Overall a good, not great experience.
Le ChristineDear Melissa, Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of your visit. We are glad you appreciated the creativity of our chef and the overall atmosphere. At the same time, we regret that some elements of the menu and presentation did not fully meet your expectations. Your comments are very important to us and will be shared with the team. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to offer you a more balanced and satisfying experience. Best regards, L’équipe du Christine

The most artistic presentation of dining ever!
Le ChristineDear Dale, Thank you very much for your kind words, the chef truly strives to give as much attention to the visual as to the flavors! We hope to welcome you again soon, L’équipe du Christine

The food was terrible. We didn’t eat multiple courses but nothing was done to make it right. The dishes were very olive, sardine, anchovy and truffle heavy. If that’s your thing maybe you will enjoy it. Wine pours were short and it was hot as a sauna. For almost $300 we were expecting a wonderful meal but it was just a huge disappointment.
Le ChristineDear Brigit, We are truly sorry that your experience at Christine did not meet your expectations. Our cuisine is indeed modern, with bold flavors that we understand may not suit every palate. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with the team. We do hope you might give us another chance in the future, as many of our guests take great pleasure in the experience. Best regards, L’équipe du Christine

It was absolutely amazing! We got the 5 course menu, it was delicious. They got a great selection of wine and champagne. We loved it and will for sure come back. Service was excellent!
Le ChristineDear Natasa, Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the five-course menu, the wine and champagne selection, and the attentive service. We look forward to welcoming you again on a future visit to Paris, L’équipe du Christine

We had been here twice before, and this was our worst experience. The table was crushed against the wall, and I actually could not move my left arm, and still sit in front of the table. The service was very slow. The reservation states that we only have the table for 2 hours, yet it took them 3 1/2 hours to complete our service of the 5 course tasting menu. The table to my right had to leave early, missing 2 dessert courses on their menu. The 5 courses were 2 apps, a main course, and 2 desserts. The main course consisted of one piece of duck. Just not enough. Major disappointment.
Le ChristineDear Jacqueline, We are truly sorry to read that this visit did not live up to the experiences you had previously enjoyed at Christine. We regret that your table placement impacted your evening. Also we are sorry that the pace and portioning did not meet your expectations this time. Your feedback is important and will be shared with the team so that we can improve. We do hope you might give us another chance to offer you a better experience. Best regards L'équipe du Christine
