10/10Our dinner at Le Gabriel exceeded my (high) expectations. The set menu we selected, Periple, combined great creativity with flawless execution to create a truly memorable dining experience.

10/10The service and food is phenomenal. By far one of the best French restaurants in the entire country. This restaurant’s taste, presentation and staff are the true meaning of a 3 star Michelin restaurant.

7.5/10Food was too complex. Tastes were too strong and too sour. Service was perfect. Wine prices are relatively high.

10/10Best dining experience of my life. From the monument we walked in I knew this was going to be different and it was. The place was amazing from the decor to the layout of the tables all were in place to enhance the dinning experience. We had a lunch reservation and found out that the dinner tasting is also available during lunch. We opted for the lunch tasting secret menu. The chefs use of limestone for marinating is very unique. The stuffed carrot was one of it not the best thing I have ever ate. The sauce with a hint of ginger gave it that little tang that made the dish for me. All the food was incredible, but the best thing for me was the service and attention to detail. We had no less than 6 people looking over us at any given time. They were all very knowable about the food, and would answer any question we had. The sommelier when above and beyond his suggestion enhanced each dish, and his knowledge was very in-depth.

10/10Worth every Michelin star. Each dish was inspired, The balance of flavours of each dish was perfect, then each was served by an expert, knowledgeable and friendly staff in a cosy elegant dining room. 3 Michelin stars are not far off for this wonderful experience. We will return ! Thanks to all who made our night magical.

10/10In a word, it's faultless. Not quite sure how or why the 3rd star has eluded them, but it's as good as its many nearby neighbours who do own trois etoile, and - as a result - quite a bit cheaper (which is not to say it isn't an 'investment' experience, but you get what you pay for). Go now, before it does get elevated, or simply just go. You won't be disappointed.

10/10Excellent service and food quality! We tried the lunch menu and it was full of surprises! It was more than 5/6 courses and I couldn’t even finish the dessert at the end. Highly recommended restaurant, love it!

10/10We had the signature 7-course dinner - a great experience. The first signature vegetable dishes (carrots and artichokes) are surprisingly good. And the langouste and the turbot are the best.

10/10I have been blessed with having been to @ 20 Michelin 2 & 3 starred restaurants in Paris over a 2 decade timeframe. None has food like Le Gabriel. The setting is lush and welcoming. The service is beyond reproach, the staff immediately make you realize they will do anything to make you experience an occasion exactly as you wish. The food, of course rhe food, each of the 6 or 7 times l have been provided at the time perhaps the best meal of my life and the 18th of April, 2023 was no exception. Familiar life-altering preps combined with new recipes made my wife and l moan repeatedly. I sincerely hope l can go again on my next trip to Paris. Merci Le Gabriel

10/10The decor is totally plush, subdued and calming. The beautiful food presentation was only equaled by the flavors. The service was really attentive to details and the food was presented with detailed description and at a proper tempo. The staff was very welcoming friendly but slightly on the young side, as in lacking a tad of experience for handling delicate situation. The sommelier was right on with the pairing selections. Overall a fabulous lunch to be repeated for sure.

8/10The Gabriel restaurant in the Hotel La Réserve is in a sumptuously decorated room. The wait staff is numerous, attentive, highly skilled and totally competent in English. The menus also are available in English. If someone is looking to dine and receive guests in upscale surroundings and table service, this is the place. No à la carte menu. Instead, four prix fixe menus are proposed of seven courses each, but these dishes are supplemented by several "amuses bouches" before and several more "après dessert" later. On the food side, I confess that it was not to my palate. The very talented chef is obviously influenced by Oriental cooking, and he has the stated mission to combine land and sea. But the result is that virtually every dish is quite salty, and in several cases with a spicey bite. We opted for wine by the glass; happily so, as the dishes were simply not wine kindly. Every dish was accompanied by a sauce brewed from exotic ingredients. In my own view, they became the dish rather than enhancing the fish or meat presented. The foregoing critique does not include the deserts or the side dishes, which were universally tasty and executed with brilliance.

10/10Excellent service and quality dishes apart from 1 dish...pork with ravioli being far too salty. Wide selection of wines

5.5/10The staff was great; unfortunately, the food was mediocre. A Bit overpowered on some ingredients, and the dill on the ice cream was a big missed.

Dear Mister Aaron, We thank you for your comment. We are sorry your experience wasn’t satisfactory. We hope to see you again to share with you our new dishes, which are more balanced in taste. Sincerely, Le Gabriel’s Team.

10/10After multiple visits we feel this is our favorite restaurant in Paris. The place is beautiful and comfortable, the service unflawed, but it is the food that keeps us returning. There have two dishes that are on my top twenty list, a duck breast in a black pepper jus and a hollowed-out and then stuffed carrot that stopped the show. Going back in a month or so, just stunning.

Dear Mister Stefan, We thank you for your kind review. We are flattered that our service and cuisine made your top twenty list. We hope to welcome you back soon. Sincerely Le Gabriel’s team.

About this restaurant
Consacré par 2 étoiles au Michelin dès sa première année d'ouverture, Le Gabriel a réussi son entrée sur la scène culinaire parisienne en majesté et s'est installé au sommet de l'exigence gastronomique parisienne. Dans le décor prestigieux de style Napoléon III signé Jacques Garcia, Jérôme Banctel joue une partition de haute volée. Hommage à sa Bretagne natale, le cœur d'artichaut breton à la coriandre et le pigeon de Vendée au cacao et sarrasin croustillant figurent déjà parmi les plats signature du Gabriel. Les classiques de la cuisine française sont revisitées et inspirées par les nombreux voyages de Jérôme Banctel au Japon. Formé par les plus grands, il est considéré comme le fils spirituel d'Alain Senderens, qu'il a secondé chez Lucas-Carton. Son maître lui a enseigné la rigueur dans la sélection des produits, le respect des saveurs authentiques et l'art de les sublimer par des vins soigneusement choisis. Passionné et exigeant, le Chef du Gabriel poursuit sa quête de la perfection avec constance, s'appuyant sur une technique irréprochable pour exalter les saveurs dans toute leur intensité. Un style épuré, audacieux, terriblement séduisant... A la tête du restaurant, Thomas Fefin est devenu MOF « Maître d'hôtel du Service et des Arts de la table » en mai 2019. En savoir plus
