10/10This is a traditional French establishment, white linen table cloths, cutlery changed out completely between courses, etc.. No tie is necessary but gentlemen may want to wear a jacket. I went with the tasting menu and was delighted by how delicious each dish was. I liked that my waiter gave me the full details of each course in French. I can’t hold a conversation but I caught most of it. This added to the authenticity of the experience. The host was very helpful at suggesting wine pairings. This meal checked every box for the perfect French dinner.

10/10We booked our first meal here in Paris and it was extraordinary, excellent service and food. We love the duck breast and pigeon wellington that’s a must try. Will definitely be back next time for more!

4/10I don’t think I am a reliable reviewer because I don’t believe that I don’t like French food. For those who enjoy French food, the taste, texture, and aroma of the food here are all enjoyable. For me, it is best that I steer clear of it. Sorry Le Violon d'Ingres. I really tried to enjoy the experience. Unfortunately, I could not. I promise to stay away.

10/10The food in Paris, is very good, but this was a special experience. I took my son to Paris for his 50th. I wanted a special experience for our last night and we had one at this wonderful restaurant. We’re not big drinkers but we opted for the tasting menu together with the matching wine tasting . At $220 each it may seem steep for some, but the experience is worth the price. It’s not just the excellent food and wine selections, it’s the service and attention to detail also. On arrival we sat and it was immediately recognized that I was a bigger person and we were immediately moved to a larger table, before we could even ask. New cutlery and wine glasses with each course were simply normal. When we dirtied our table cloth, with some minor food droppings (Americans!) the table was temporarily cleared and clean napkins placed elegantly on top of our bad eating habits. The table was again spotless and ready for the next course. Only one Michelin star 🙄 but truly a memorable experience.

10/10A top notch dining experience. The wait staff were attentive and completely on their game. The decor is stylish and classy. But the food is the real star here. From course to course, each dish shined and made for a spectacularly memorable evening. Highly recommend and will go again.

10/10When in Paris we dine here. It is sophisticated yet inviting. The dishes are unusual and delectable. The servers are attentive and accommodating. From the appetizer to the scallops, sole and beef…it was a gastronomic experience. All the way to the chocolates and jellies it was fabulous.

2.5/10This place is as close to being a Michelin star restaurant as I am to looking like George Clooney. First red flag, it’s easy to get a table. Second red flag the front of house couldn’t be bothered to button up his shirt and tie. This is not value for money, it is a tourist trap. As an example I have attached a picture of their cheese dish on the tasting menu. The only skills the chef needed was decent eyesight to be able to cut the cheese and choose similar size spinach leaves😂 The chocolate desert was basic chocolate ice cream on a biscuit base . They knew we didn’t like the food but nobody cared . If you stop caring then this is the place to be . I gave it two stars for the wine

10/10Excellent restaurant in rue Saint-Dominique not far from the Eiffel Tower. Beautifully presented dishes made from high quality ingredients. I had the “Olympic Games” tasting menu and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the foie gras, the eggs with truffle and the spelt with langoustine. Also 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.

6.5/10Lovely, modern restaurant. The spelt with langoustines and the chocolate dessert were outstanding. However, the soles had bones and the orange sauce on the scallops was too sweet. Service was lovely.

10/10Came here for an anniversary dinner, and were kindly seated at the chef's table! Excellent service with friendly and attentive staff. Food was some of the best we had in Paris, lots of unique and meticulously crafted dishes! Our favorite was the pigeon wellington - perfectly cooked and so tender. Highly recommend if you're planning a special dinner!

10/10This exceptional french Parisienne restaurant did not let me down, from the maitre D's greeting, to the waiting staff to attended to us, felt like royalty being tended to. I could not have made a better selection to dine at. The Michelin service and food, was unbeliveable.

10/10We had a great time in this restaurant. Disclaimer, please make sure that you do read the menu especially for dinner. We came in expecting that the five course tasting menu was €80 when the truth was it's actually just for the wine pairing. The 5 course dinner menu which is really €160 per person. Am I mad? Not really because from where we are from , you would really pay almost 1000 per person for a Michelin star experience like this one. However, it would've helped if they had a clearer explanation of the menu. I had a menu restriction where I don't eat meat, and the chef was graceful enough to substitute my entrée for the turbot instead. I heard the angel singing as I was eating my turbot dinner. I really don't eat that much so I probably would've gone better off ordering from just the à la cart menu. Unfortunately, I am deducting one star for this restaurant because they aren't allowing the flexibility for one party to order the five course while the other order the à la cart. For me, this is really a lot of food and wine.

3/10Very dissapointing xmas dinner, Not Michelin star worthy as they serve basic food, missing variations in taste or sensations. There is no amtosphere in the restaurant either, as your coats are thrown on a rack above your table, there is no background music or attractive interior. All the waiters are wearing different suits and some don’t even wear a tie. Missing hospitality and care for the guests. You can have the same food in any French restaurant for one third of the price. Way overpriced for the food and service, do not reccomend.

8/10The hostess started the evening off on a poor note condescendingly asking do you have a reservation to two American women. Once we got past her haughtiness, the appetizers were stellar. The entree was fine but nothing great and the amuse bouches and dessert were all good.

10/10As a musician, a name with “violin” would always give me a second look. Our rental unit is just a few blocks away and we walked past the restaurant one day. I was able to get a reservation for our last night in Paris. It was a fantastic ending to our 2 week trip (one week in Spain and one week in Paris) and easily the best meal in these 2 weeks as well. My husband loved the scallops, veal and the soufflé. I also enjoyed my lobster ravioli, sea bass and millefeuille. I highly recommend the restaurant. It’s a real gem. Incredible service throughout.
