This gem, located on Ile St Louis, is a sensational dining experience! We are so lucky to have stumbled across it after our Notre Dame visit (the mostly pedestrian cobblestone island is located just behind it). The meticulous attention to detail of every course is experienced with every bite. The big highlights were the melt in your mouth Turbot (white fish) and Cerf frotté (steak). The desserts are a work of art - true mouthwatering masterpieces of creativity. I hesitate to share this review because it feels like a beautifully designed neighborhood secret. Everyone spoke French around us, and it felt like we discovered a hidden treasure.

This is the second time at Le Sergent Recruteur (prior dinner in 2014). We went for lunch on 12/7/24 and Chef Alain Pegouret created lovely haute dishes. The food was divine. However the experienced stopped there ... having 2 servers sweating like bullets, barely holding it together and plopping our food down (no after dinner coffee or drinks or anything but the check?) ... was subpar. I am sorry they were short-staffed that day, I am sorry the Notre-Dame opening caused chaos around the city that weekend, I am sorry we had high expectations as were repeat customers, but the atmosphere in 2014 was lovely, delicious and fun with a depth of flavors and this was a borderline shit-show getting the food from the kitchen to the table. Chef Pegouret needs to review his whole package .... our experience at FIEF was fun as was Kei (a whole other level), but we are going to pass on encouraging our friends from visiting Le Sergent Recruteur and it will not be on our next stop in Paris.

Dear Ann, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you appreciated Chef Alain Pégouret's cuisine and found the dishes divine. However, we are sincerely sorry to learn that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. The high level of service is one of our priorities, and we regret that the atmosphere and attentiveness were not what they should have been during your visit. While external circumstances like the reopening of Notre-Dame may have impacted the city that day, it is our responsibility to ensure that our guests feel welcomed and cared for at all times. We truly value your loyalty and the fact that you chose to return after several years. Your observations are taken very seriously and will be shared with the team to ensure continuous improvement. We hope that you might reconsider visiting us in the future and allow us the opportunity to provide you with the exceptional experience you once enjoyed. Margot – Customer Manager

the foie gras is the best thing i have ever eaten and a chef's specialty. all of the savory food was amazing, from fish to meat. the sauce chef is a master and all of his preparations are masterpieces. sweet food on the other hand was not to my liking. it looked complex and was well executed but was not as enjoyable as the starters or the entrees. i would come back but get dessert some place else.

Solo and couple diners - beware the green alcove. The food was impeccable, delicious, and creative. Service was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have asked for more in those departments. However, as previous reviews I have read warned, there is a table/seat that is horrendous and I had the displeasure of experiencing it (I took a chance). The green alcove seat (the only one in the house) is deeply recessed, forcing you to sit on the edge of your seat with barely enough room for your arms to move about freely when eating. It also faces another (extremely close) table and the back of the house. The only redeeming aspect is you can witness the chefs working their magic (if that’s what you may be interested in). Unsure if I will return.

The stars were not aligned for our experience at Le Sergent Recruteur. We take pleasure in reviewing the wine list and selecting a bottle to pair with our meal. We had a few suggestions in mind and asked the sommelier for feedback. The response was rushed and resulted in the suggestion of a good wine with a 450% mark up. The bottle arrived on our table a few minutes later, opened with no cork to inspect. Never presented to us. One of our meals was the special, a slow cooked white rabbit with risotto. The first bite was dense and salty. The taste improved when the risotto, presented in a side dish, was mixed into the dense rabbit sauce. Hopefully, the stars will align for future diners at Le Sergent Recruteur, but for now our forecast is cloudy with a chance of rain.

Charming restuart in the hear of Isle Saint Louis. Went for lunch and it wasn't crowded, so I had a nice environment to eat and write. I thought the food was very creative, and certainly offered twists on some classic dishes which you don't find at many French restaurants in Paris. In some cases it might have been too creative, and tried to combine too many ideas into a single dish. Service and wine were both excellent, just may benefit from editing down some dishes to keep them focused.
