    Excellent little restaurant. We sat at the terrace and the ambiance was very charming. Our waiter from Lyon was kind and funny. We had the steak tartare, the Toulouse sausage and profiteroles and everything was really good. Will definitely come back next time we are in Paris

    Our dinner with a large crowd turned out splendid despite a few organizational issues at the start of the evening. The food was good and the ambiance of a summer evening in Place Dauphine was perfect. The menu has something for everyone at reasonable prices.

    We discovered Paul's about 4 years ago and have made it a tradition to always stop in for dinner any time we're in Paris. Our last visit was no exception. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the food and wine excellent!

    We sat in the place Dauphine outside and had a great meal under a tree. The menu is typical brasserie food but the quality surprised us! From starter to main course and dessert, the quality is really good. I would recommend this.

    The service was very slow. The portions are small. Expensive what you get. I feel the restaurant needs to be updated.

    One waiter covering the entire restaurant was not enough. He did a great job, just too much for one person.....

    Our server, whose name was EVE, was wonderful and friendly. The steak tartare was excellent, as was the selection of wines. Great comfy-cozy small place.

    We've visited with 1yo daughter. She didn't stay at the table and was walking around in the restaurant, I felt so sorry. but everyone was so kind and nice to us. the dishes were delicious, that was what I've expected to eat in Paris. and from the window next to the table, we see the buildings in "Paris" outside, it was lovely and amazing. I hope we'll come back here again!

    The waiter assumed that as an American I wanted my steak medium rare and I like it rare….he was a bit condescending

    This is our third trip to Restaurant Paul and by far the best. Sat outside on a rainy October evening but our waiter Stephan made the experience perfect. A mix of attentiveness and discretion coupled with humor and knowledge. We may came back again this trip before going back to the States. Restaurant Paul is absolutely our favorite eating establishment in Paris. Cheers to the whole team.

    Besides the absolutely delicious food and friendly attentive service, the restaurant was cozy with windows looking out at the path by the Seine in back and Place Dauphine in front. We just loved this place.

    Very very disappointed. It took an hour and a half for the dinner to be served and the steak was almost inedible

    I and my wife have visited Paris multiple times, and Paul's is one of our favorite places to visit. The restaurant offers excellent food, a welcoming atmosphere, and impeccable service.

    French cuisine at its best! Lunch in a beautiful square, restaurant has lots of history. Foie gras, rabbit, and cafe gourmand were delicious. Three courses with wine for 2 people was 180 euros, Food and service were high quality, we will definitely return!

    We ate here in September and were seated outside, facing Place Dauphine. It was so very special. This is a completely different experience in the winter months. Food was ok, but I think there are better options in March.

    Nice spot.. nice place. But pudding on a hot plate was cold in the middle and the veal which was cooked well was served in uncrispy bacon sort of makes you wonder how it was cooked. Service good.

    Lovely service, great food - a tad bit expensive for what you get - but yes! Would definitely recommend and want to return !

    Twenty years ago I frequented this little restaurant while working in Paris. It was wonderful then & fabulous now. Situated on Dauphine near Notre Dame provides a neighborhood local ambiance. We were entertained watching the locals play bocci. Service top notch.

    Really enjoyed our evening at Paul. the location in Paris' most secret square is just wonderful. We sat on the terrace and watched several games of boules being played in the evening sunshine. Our servers were very entertaining and attentive. A warm throw was offered as the autumnal weather made it slightly too cool to be eating outside. We enjoyed absolutely perfectly cooked duck, veal and côte de boeuf. The wine list was varied and the value for money was spot on. This was our third visit to this lovely restaurant, and we will return!

    Fantastic meal in a fantastic setting. The place was very busy but we never felt neglected. Our server Stephane was welcoming, friendly and accommodating. It was a beautiful Paris night outside and the food and wine complimented it. Highly recommend!
