8.5/10We were very happy to visit Mova and will return again. It was a very hot day in Paris and the restaurant was quite full. But the staff done their best with the air conditioning resources they had. Towards the end it did get warm. Nevertheless we did have a splendid evening. We had a choice between a discovery menu (4 courses 41€) without the wine pairing, but the wine selction was very good and well presented. The food was elegantly presented and tasted equally so. The staff were attentive and gave good pauses between each course. Three small suggestions for improvement, firstly slighly overcrowded - maybe removing one or two tables would improved comfortability. Secondly, in summer a few outdoor seats might help - what about accross the street? Thirdly, for those really hot days find a way to maintain air conditioning a bit later in the evening too. Well Done Mova!

9.5/10On a quiet side street in Paris, a bright room with friendly staff welcomes you. We were given the option of French or English menus and our waiter (a young man from Erice, Sicily as it happens, fluent in Italian, English, French) made us feel we had his complete attention. We ordered a bottle of sparkling water and it was brought with an excellent baguette. Since I am sure the dishes changes with frequency for the set lunch, I will start by saying that sll dishes were prepared with excellent ingredients, imagination, and presented with flair! We enjoyed a clever "salad" of veal with minced vegetables and a delicious broth. We followed the waiter's recommendation of pairing it with a light Bordeaux. One of us had the fish, the other the chicken. Both were cooked perfectly and served with lovely sides. Again, we followed the waiter's suggestions of a Languedoc and a Cote du Rhone to accompany. Our meal was a pleasure: we would certainly return when next in Paris!

10/10Excellent six course menu while on a family vacation in Paris. We enjoyed all six but in particular the mussels on verbena with peas and the milk chocolate prune shortbread last course. The service was excellent as well.

10/10We would not change a thing about our lunch at Mova. The food was delicious; flavorful with clean ingredients. The service was just as great, friendly staff who spoke English to help us read the menu. We had the 3-course meal and it was one of the best sets we've had in Paris. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

8.5/10The artichoke entrée was my favourite. What I like is that the chef has a signature style of flavouring and plating up dishes. However, I didn't quite enjoy the deconstructed carrot cake dessert. The service is polite and friendly but a little slow. In general, it's a good restaurant that's worth checking out.
