I went with my husband and 15yr old. We liked it but it wasn’t anything extraordinary and the price is very high. The service was great!

Unique ingredients: veal and pigeon legs, and the finest foie gras

Overall a good French meal, worth trying but with room for optimisation. For example, the oxtail was overly flavoured with wine and the pasta was slightly pinched.

We were in the restaurant this time for New Year’s Eve. There was a set menu that was magnificent. The service was efficient and friendly with the service team even joking with us throughout the evening. The restaurant has a modern sleek feel in design that is welcoming and comfortable. All in all it made for a memorable meal. Le Violon is one of my go-to restaurants in Paris.

Near the Eiffel Tower. The five-course wine pairing was excellent. The staff was delightful and professional. The setting was peaceful and chic. The patronage was mostly French. Highly recommended.

Great food well done, good but not perfect service. However, all diners at our table found the ambience challenging for one main reason, ie, we all found the lighting a bit ‘garish’ and too bright: could use an update with some tweaks possibly from a lighting engineer to make the dining room more comfortable.

Although the modern twist on classical concepts are interesting, execution of each dish can be improve. For example, the langoustine ingredient quality or the sea bass seasoning. We found the service to be sloppy and at some point, careless, as the waiter spilled water when refilling and put our utensils down by dropping it from an ungodly height. Overall, I felt rushed through the experience just so they can serve 2 batches, and will recommend to look elsewhere for a nice dinner.

The beaf checks were excellent. The foie gras was generous but came without the melted fat. It was OK. The Mille feuille had only three layers instead of a dozen at least. No reasonable person would call that Mille feuille.

Service was fantastic. Really great food, highlight was the pigeon wellington and mille-feuille, we weren’t crazy about the langoustine entree but overall felt it was a beautiful meal and a great experience.

This is a gloriously fun and simultaneously sheik restaurant with that perfect Michelin Paris vibe. My wife and I will return on every trip to Paris. So sophisticated, but oh so comfortable. A grand, happy place with exquisite cuisine.

Every dish was delicious and the service was so welcoming. This was my second visit, i love their traditional French cuisine and they give you large portions unlike many Michelin starred restaurants. Excellent sommelier and wine pairing.

Very 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.

This 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.

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

Went 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.

We 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

Ingredients of the first quality, carefully prepared and simply presented. Efficient and courteous service which is elegant and unobtrusive. Standouts simple composed salads featuring summer produce and mignardises.
