9/10Very good restaurant in rue Saint-Dominique not far from the Eiffel Tower. I had the six course Menu Degustation, and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the tuna tartare and the beef filet with excellent mashed potatoes. It’s also fairly good value by Paris standards. Pleasant contemporary decor creates a relaxed ambiance. Very friendly, attentive and professional service. I give this restaurant my best recommendation.

10/10This was our second visit and even better than our previous 4 star experience. The difference was the reception and service. The food was excellent, as expected. But the service enhancements make the experience superior.

6/10Food was decent but not outstanding, service polite yet inattentive at times. The ambiance felt more tourist-oriented than authentic.

6/10Went in August 2025 and this was 90% tourist attendance, which made us wonder if it has become a tourist hangout given the location next to the Eiffel tower. The main room is not particularly upscale for a fine dining restaurant. Service is professional but not warm. The person that greets you is the only personable highlight. Food was good in general as expected for a 1 star Michelin, but not exceptional. One of us ordered the beef filet and the meat was not good quality, had to be sent back. The pigeon was the signature dish and did not disappoint.

10/10We had a wonderful experience! The 2 course lunch we had was divine, in particular the duck breast cooked to perfection. The starter - scrambled egg prepared like mousse was so fine it didn’t even taste like an egg! Of course the soufflé Grande Marnier was perfect. Thank you for the impeccable service!! You deserve the Michelin star !! A. Richards

10/10The staff was amazing - the service was impeccable and the food was beyond delicious. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Worth the splurge. From the Gazpacho to the panna cotta, we were in gastro delight!

10/10The food was excellent, the restaurant was charming and atmospheric, and the service staff was both very attentive and highly amusing. I was intimidated to go to a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, but it was a memorable and enjoyable experience here. Just make sure you come hungry if you're going for the Signature Menu! The servings for that menu as well as the Tasting Menu were generous to a fault. Delicious nonetheless, I would recommend this restaurant without hestitation to the most discerning diners.

10/10From the moment we walked in we were greeted by name. The menu was explained to us in great detail in perfect English. Every single bite of food we ate was amazing and i have to single out the seared foie gras, the pigeon wellington, the grand marnier souffle in particular stood out as WOW dishes. The apertifs and wines were delicious. The staff was so polished and professional, and so kind and warm at the same time. The owner is a true gentleman and runs an amazing restaurant. We cant wait to return for another dinner on our next trip to Paris.

3/10I don't really think food there is really tasty. And some of the waiters are not warm enough for us.

7.5/10Pigeon was terrible despite the fact that the server was truly recommended it. However I truly appricate that they were open to replace the dish with another one.

10/10Just had an amazing meal at this Michelin-starred restaurant, and I’m absolutely stuffed! The portions were surprisingly generous, definitely didn’t leave hungry. The service was top-notch too, the staff were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. The ambiance was lovely as well, cozy, well-designed, and perfect for a relaxed meal. All in all, it was such a delightful dining experience. Would 100% recommend and can’t wait to come back!

A less pretentious establishment than most other one-star restaurants in Paris but with food better than many of them. The lunch was lacking the usual Michelin elements of combining strange ingredients and flavors as well as the eccentric plating but do not let it fool you. The menu might lead you to believe that this is an ordinary restaurant, but even with common dishes the chef manages to compose a wonderful dining experience.

+4We started with a wonderful apertif. We both enjoyed the tasting menu to taste more items. Each course was amazing. I loved all but one wine pairing. I also found the butter to be amazing. The soufle we ordered after seeing at another table was delicious.

10/10An exceptional dining experience! The food was absolutely sublime. We had the lobster risotto, sweetbreads, beef, foie gras, and pigeon, and every dish was flawless. The mille-feuille was also outstanding. Service was impeccable, and the sommelier selected wines by the glass that paired perfectly with each course. A truly remarkable place. Highly recommended.
