    We were a big group. We were greeted instantly and our reserved tables were ready. The food was delicious. The service very attentive and patient with our limited French. We had a wonderful evening.

    We received receipts twice that were different from the amount we ordered. I doubt that they are intentionally doing this to tourists. We've experienced this situation at other restaurants as well. The city of Paris is no longer beautiful. I wouldn't recommend here to anyone else.

    for your information it was 1 receipt the second was the rectification of the note..but thank you for having remembered only that from our restaurant...during this pleasant 2 hour meal on a beautiful table for 4 people! With a little sympathy and indulgence you should have understood that it was an error on our server..error is human but apparently this word does not exist in your vocabulary. And Paris is and we will be beautiful!!

    Wonderful dinner. Ordered from the 3 course prix fixe menu, my husband and I chose different items so we could taste more items. So glad we did! Everything was delicious. Service was great and then night was perfect for sitting outside. Definitely will eat here again when back to Paris.

    This was a very touristy place with very average (at best) touristy fare. This is not a sort of traditional out-of-the-way French restaurant frequented by locals. My wife noticed that her wine came from a cardboard box. The service staff were good, and the beer was cold.

    Le SymposiumOwner

    Your opinion has been received, which is why I am taking the liberty of responding to you to correct a few details! Please know for your information that we receive as many French people as tourists, depending on the summer and school periods. Of course we receive tourists as a reminder you are dining in Paris, a city which welcomes 11 million tourists per year, so fortunately I receive tourists who come and return to see us each time they pass through the capital. Then concerning the cardboard which we call here In France we French Wine fountain!! That is to say a bag of wine, under vacuum, equipped with a small tap. The advantage of the BIB is precisely the vacuum of air which allows for the wine not to oxidize and therefore to keep for around 4 weeks after opening... All our BIBs come from the winegrowers with whom we work. Our BIBs contain exactly the same wine as in bottles. I hope to have clarified everything for you and it was a pleasure to have corrected you and improved your culture!!

    Le Symposium was a wonderful restaurant. I wanted my 20 lady tour group to experience a “non touristy” brasserie and found it in Le Symposium. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and I would highly recommend it to anyone going to Paris.

    We were looking for traditional French cuisine. We had French onion soup, mussels sauteed with white wine, and the boeuf Bourgogne. Everything was excellent!

    Most of the waiters were very rude and wouldn’t help choosing the courses. We only stayed because it was late and we were hungry. We ordered raclette and the cheese portions were minimal…also the charcuterie was really average. Only the young waiter was nice to us.

    Le SymposiumOwner

    Hola Jordi???? sorry you didn't like my restaurant the young man is myself thank i can't be behind every waiter unfortunately concerning the portion it is very correct for 1 person but obviously if you share a dish it will necessarily be smaller in your eyes .. and with 20% I find that to be exaggerated !! I still wish you a good week

    The food was not tasty.The pepperbeef was so though that you could hardly cut it with knife. The red Wine was sour. The toilets was not to recommend.????

    Le SymposiumOwner

    hello sorry that our products did not help you more, however, all you had to do was ask to change the dish to another! sometimes it can happen that a piece is less tender! Concerning the wine we have several ranges of wines and if it was not to your taste it was also enough to ask to change.. simply nothing more simple we are there for that!! The toilets are cleaned 3 times a day .. if people are dirty I can't do anything!! Very disappointed with your comment, yet our young man has taken good care of you personally!!
