5/10The dining experience at "Le Petit Commines" was disappointing and did not match previous ratings in Internet by far. Although several dishes were good, most were below average in quality and in taste. Moreover, the wines offered are a) not very good and b) totally over-priced (factor 6 to 7, unacceptable from my point-of-view). Furthermore, the wine (a Bordeaux) was served in small water glasses! Regarding the service, my rating is 50/50: One of the two waiters did a good job, the other not so. Pertaining to the second waiter, I don't know, if he really enjoys his profession. The dining experience was also very stressed. Besides beeing accompanied by AC-DC, Pearl-Jam and Aerosmith during dinner (quite loud), it seems as though the owners are only eager to sell as many tables possible during the evening. I certainly would not recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Dear Paul-David, We are very saddened to read your comment which does not reflect the work we seek to do every day. We take the latter constructively and work not to reproduce human errors. But just some points that has to be clarified, for the wine you were on a St Emillion Grand Cru from bordeaux that did not have to breathe that's why you had small wine glasses, we never serve in water glasses as we have 3 sizes of wine glasses depending on them. For the price, the 6 factor would have been real if it was a 2019 one but you had the 2017 that is not anymore on the web and cost more that the ones you have seen. And for the music we always wanted to go on the 70's Rock and Jazz normally fits to everybody. Best regards Le petit Commines Maitre Restaurateur Membre du collège Culinaire de Ducasse

8/10The food is good although whatever discount you think you’ll get the restaurant excludes large portions of the menu The wine list is weird, divided by price. The restaurant is clearly benefiting from the fork’s platform, you mostly hear English (few locals) It’s good food but at the price paid (around 100 euros with wine) there are many other options in Paris.

8.5/10We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of this neighborhood bistro, and appreciated the attention to details such as sitting down with us to explain the wines and menu. Overall the food was excellent (especially enjoyed the amuse-bouche of butternut squash and carrot soup), but everything could have been served at a warmer temperature.

10/10Great food that emphasizes what is seasonal and fresh, 1200+ bottles of finely curated French wines, and service that takes the time to walk you through the menu. A lovely, cozy setting for a truly memorable event.

5/10They were very friendly. The selection of the menu was poorly designed (I am a retired culinary instructor in US. The Veloute was very good. The fish lacked sophistication and flavor and was very small. The frites were limp (basic execution was poor) and the lentils were plain. Then, they did a "bait and switch" on the wine selection. We asked for 12 EU wines, There is not a wine list but they talk you through the wine choices. We had two glasses each. 21 EU not 12 EU on the bill. C'mon Paris, you can do a lot better! if the restaurant reads this, please credit back my CC the 36 EU. and make the Frites hot and crispy next time!

10/10Great little spot. Service was great. The waiter, when we asked for wine recommendations, asked us very unique questions like "What type of perfumes do you like?" "More like water or more like cranberry juice?" and picked perfect wines for us. Highly recommended.

5/10Service was way below expectations, stressed due to short staff clearly. Food was the most disappointing we have had recently as whilst trying to be creative, had no flavour and no taste. The original products were good but the way they were cooked made them of little interest, whether Swordish, Meat or the arrogant €28 Vegetarian that was just a bite. Desserts were no better as way too sugary and the attempt of a Paris Brest was another failure. The concept of service is interactive with the waiter picking wines from the list based on a simple q&a but that's pretty much the only thing we can give a big up to. Hopefully we had a 30% discount on the bill thanks to the Fork and that was much needed as this restaurant is a bit pricey when compared to French local brasseries that are on point both for service and food. I would not recommend this restaurant to any friend. It is also not kid friendly at all as the menu is the only proposal with no dedicated options.

6.5/10Fish was not warm. Combination with strawberries was not liked by 3 table guests. Very pity, as previous visits were very good.
Le Petit Commines • Owner
Dear Mark, We are deeply sorry that your fish carpaccio wasn't warm. Futhermore we do say when we explain the menue that this is our most peculiar dish and why, you still went for it, you cannot blame us if you didn't like it. Though we are indeed sorry that your experience in our restaurant wasn't to your liking, we hope that you come back for us to fix this.

10/10We had a fabulous evening at Le Petit Commines last night. Great little restaurant on a quiet street in the Marais. We sat outside on the terrace overlooking the street in gorgeous early summer weather. M. Papounet, the owner, is an entertaining, animated and convivial host with a passion for locally grown produce (including from his garden) and ethically sourced foods. Starters and mains were beautifully prepared (we didn't order desserts as jet lag overtook us) - the razor clams were an absolute highlight! M. Papounet also has the most inventive way of arriving at the perfect wine choices for the meal. It was a bit like being immersed in a personal performance art piece. The bordeaux that emerged from his series of evocative questions was excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending Le Petit Commines to anyone seeking a relaxed and delicious meal in the Marais.

9.5/10+2This restaurant was a great find as we were looking for an authentic French restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. The food was excellent with fresh produce, carefully thought through and nicely presented. Special mention is the escargo - the mushroom starter, pork and monk fish mains, desserts were very good too. The service was great - with a lot of pain taken by the staff to explain the menu to us. Overall a great experience and a must visit for us in our next trip to Paris.

10/10Our meal was perfectly presented and delicious. The service was excellent as well. Two things as concerns. The fork discount does not show up on your bill if you pay through the QR code. They were quick to adjust and make things right.. Just take note. Second, the wine prices (glass of a house red) is the most expensive I have encountered in the Paris restaurants we have (15 Euros). I'm sure the wine is excellent but there should be a more affordable option. We went with the water!

9/10The restaurant is charming and welcoming, a mix of locals and tourists. The food is inventive without being "weird." Not every dish is a perfect success, the lentils side dish was bland but the leek (poirons) starter was a triumph. The St. Jaques (scallops) were delicious and the dessert, a deconstructed lemon tart served with dollops of a ruby chocolate mousse was perfect. Rather than a wine list you will be asked questions which will guide your server to choose a wine for you. A fun, interesting process. I was at this restaurant a year ago and I was there yesterday and I will be there again next year when I revisit Paris.
