Nolinski is a true Parisian gem — a stylish, modern restaurant that remains deeply rooted in the elegance of classical French cuisine. The ambiance blends sleek design with warm lighting and curated music that bridges trendy and timeless. Service is flawless: waiters are impeccably dressed, professional, and masters of etiquette. The menu is refined and seasonal, honoring tradition with finesse. The steak flambéed tableside with cognac is one of the best we’ve ever had — rich, tender, and unforgettable. Today’s vol-au-vent was outstanding: flaky pastry and a deeply flavorful filling served with poultry and sweetbread . They also serve excellent cocktails, crafted with the same attention to detail. Nolinski offers a complete, elegant, and truly French dining experience — one we can’t wait to return to.

Amazing experience! Although being expensive, it was definately worth having the experience of eating in a michelin star restaurant for the first time. The food and service were amazing!

The restaurant is beautiful and the staff really lovely. However for Friday night it was rather empty, which is a shame as general atmosphere quite nice. There was live singer, which some people may enjoy, but we didn't. It's not that she wasn't talented, rather it took away from atmosphere.

A week in Paris and this was the best dining experience. The food was spectacular, the service was delightful and the ambience perfect. Thanks to Nolinski our last meal in Paris was beyond expectations. Can’t wait to return to Nolinski.

Despite advising in advance of allergies only one menu option was offered for gluten free. If I would have known I would have cancelled. Food was cold. Service was slow for a one course meal. Overall not a great experience and would not return.

Very loud music with a pushy waiter which left us feeling award when wanting to leave. The atmosphere is nice but a warning about it seems required.

Unpleasant waiter; we were seated in an area in front of the bar with a reservation. Unexceptional food was nicely served. My wife noticed that most of the staff were busy preening rather than serving customers.

The food was amazing, and beyond my expectations . Perfect balance on the dishes and well done on the presantations. Beautiful food, and interesting taste. Top 3 in My life. The best part is the service. It goes beyond the food. Our waitress was exellent. Funny, easy going type with knowlegde about the food and drinks, and also took really good care of us. The only thing to point out is the lack of costumers. It is a hotel resturant but still. Maybe 10 out of 80 seats were taken. A hidden pearl, but an empty resturant misses the atmosphere. But even without that, a place worth a stop!

The menu was terrific! Balanced, with plenty of options and creativity. The thon cru entree was fantastic, and the steak flambe was perfectly cooked and with exactly the presentation you would hope/expect. The star of the show for me was the pavlova to cap things off, best pavlova I've ever had, and one of the best desserts I've had in Paris in a while. Ambiance and decor are chic, good for either a date or a business meeting. I highly recommend Nolinski!

Lovely space, very design but very cosy. Attentive and friendly service. Great room temperature and volume low enough to speak. Great (small) refined dishes, we particularly liked the fish ones. 100% happy with the experience.
