Le Dauphin

We came to this restaurant hoping for a great night. But it was an absolute disaster. They advertised with gluten free high quality food. We discussed our allergy needs with the staff. Checked it twice. But were served food with gluten nevertheless. If we didn’t spot their mistake we would’ve kept on eating tons of food WITH gluten. The waiter responsible for the mistake smiled and excused himself for his ‘silly mistake’, not appreciating the damage he’d done.

Initially I thought we would just pop in for an aperitif ... we stayed and continued to order dishes from dinner to dessert. The staff was very helpful, patient and explained the food with obvious knowledge. From the first bite, it is apparent the ingredients are carefully sourced - and innovative in the choice of seasoning and spices. Delightful food, great staff, approachable and makes great use of the ... this is a rare combination of thoughtful execution on all points. We are fortunate our host Monica recommended this excellent restaurant. I will definitely recommend to several people. Key dishes we tried: incredible tempura sardines, caponata was beautifully executed, the glace au lait ribot was perfect.

One of my fav places !!

Each of the 7 dishes the two of us shared except the cheese was delicious and interesting. The service was very good and we were seated immediately because we had an early reservation. The crispy tapioca squares were unique. The tuna tartare was subtle and addictive. The potatoes stuffed with crab were simple but delicious. The pork was perfectly cooked. The frozen yogurt like dessert was refreshing and perfectly balanced. The wines were fine. The goat cheese wasn’t bad it just was the least interesting dish of the evening perhaps because I was satiated. We will be returning.

Everything was delicious. Terrific wine. Great energy at the bar. Will be back soon!

As usual

Simply the coolest restaurant in Paris

There were too many small problems to make this a more than an ok experience. First we had to wait for our table more than 15 minutes (one we had booked more than 2 weeks in advance). Our wine order was forgotten as was one of the dishes we ordered. It took forever for a waiter to come and take orders on the dessert at which point we decided to just take the bill because we didn’t want to wait any longer. We only received an indifferent apology for “slight” delays. The food was mainly very good as were the wines. There is one general problem in the restaurant space. The interior designer probably didn’t think much about the acoustics because all the surfaces including the ceiling are marble and mirror. This means the noise level is at times terrible.

Terrific food and great wine list. Servers know both well. Service was inattentive at times. Would go back in a minute though.

Nice location and great service, but we expected more in terms of quality and uniqueness.

Delicious small dishes, interesting flavours, excellent little wine list with lots of variety, really buzzy atmosphere - everyone here is having a great time!

A perfect dining experience!

Its a very good and cool restaurant! Dom’t miss it

superb food

Top !

Good food.Good staff.A fun place,rather than fine dining.

Great meal and small plates before dinner at Le Chateaubriand. One note, I'd recommend they dim the lights a bit in the restaurant, as it seemed very bright in there and took away from the atmosphere.

Food ok, but not remarkable. Location a must for architecture lovers

Perfect!

The food disappointed me very much. We ordered 8 tapas dishes to share among 3 people. Because we don't know French, we relied on the waiter's explanations and were not completely sure what we ordered. The potato with crab and the tuna with white bean were very good. The other five were not. All the dishes were cold except for the slightly warm tuna. All of the food received no or minimal preparations or spices - I understand this is the "natural" style popular in France now, but I found it to be tasteless. The service, wine, and atmosphere were good.
