I live in California and only eat Mediterranean style food but also have great influences from Asia. This turned out to be the perfect place for my taste. The flavors were rich and subtle, and the execution pitch perfect. I can't say how it compares to other French Michelin stars but it's hands down better than anything I ever experienced in California. I am still grappling with how tantalizing this was.

I thought the menu a little small We settled on a Viognier and a Brouilly while we decided. In the end we both chose the smoked salmon, my partner went for the piece du boucher (bavette with a sort of mash, mushrooms and a sauce...and a surcharge) and I chose the souris d'agneau with mash. Accompanied by a 50cl Malbec; then coffee I thought the salmon was well smoked but my partner - who is Scandinavian - thought too much so. Ignoring that, it was delicious But we both left rather disappointed...mainly because the bavette, as is so often the case in France with any steak, was was as tough as old boots (and too red for me in any event) ...sorry from the waitress when she asked how our meal was, doesn't really cut it.. As it was, my partner left at least 3/4s of it. My souris was fine but needed some vegetables of some description; it looked a little lonely. I seem otherwise to have chosen well, plenty of meat and very tender Thought it was or had been a Rostang place, but not so sure. Shame, nearly but not quite

Great place with a VIEW!…read more The Hotel/Bar has just opened a few months ago. Compared to the surroundings in this area prices are really fair. 14€ for a Mojito is still a lot, but this is Paris. Staff is super friendly and you have a terrific view over the city, with the Eiffel Tower being right in the middle! Paris is not really known for making great Cocktails, but the Mojito we had here, was really fresh and tasted great! I would recommend to come here for a drink after dinner, as they only serve snacks (mainly Charcuterie and Cheeses).

We were seated immediately by the window, which offered a view of La Défense and the Eiffel Tower. The drinks and tapas were good, albeit a bit pricey (ranging from 13€ for a pretty standard drink to 35€ for charcuterie), but clearly you're paying to be 19 floors up in the middle of La Défense. The place good (not great), but has a nice little vibe and is English-speaker friendly. Overall, I'd go again! FYI - kitchen closes at 11.

We were looking for a good Boulliabese .... and here at Le Sud they have the Boulliabese version also from southern France and is called Bourride. Is almost the same but thickened with egg yolks. This is a most have. IT WAS DELICIOUS! As appetizer I recommend the salmon tartare and the small Whiting fish. For main courses we had filet de daurade, entrecote and the bourride which I already told you it was awesome. The fish came on bed of vegetables cooked perfectly. Desserts here are very good as well.... rich and creamy homemade icecream, and one that they called coffee and petit desserts, which as it says comes with a mini version of tiramisu, lemon custard, chocolate mousse and coffee. All very good. My favorite were chocolate icecream and pistachio icecream. Needless to say that service here is very, very good. The Restaurant itself is beautiful, just like walking into a southern garden in the middle of Marseille. In my opinion this is one of the best Restaurants in Paris. Affordable and with a unique charm.

They made one of our guests take a covid test when he didn't have his vaccine card on him. The hostess told him it was positive when it was actually negative. It was pretty stressful and embarrassing. Staff talking rudely about other tables right in front of them. There were dropped and broken glasses/utensils, several courses served when guests are in the bathroom, really pushing to order wine, and the credit card machine didn't work. We ended up having to pay in cash and we were not apologized to. Finally, offering us to take our aperitif on the terrace but the terrace was already closed? Won't be returning.

We had a great view of the comings and goings of the Cours la Reine, and the Seine over the road. My salmon was a bit dry, but when eaten with the sauce and peas, was moisturized and flavored well. My lunch date's duck was delicious! Juicy and flavorful, it was a delicious bite. The bread served on the house is a bit dry, but flaky. The chips were salty and crunchy. Overall, I hope to return!

The restaurant has a gorgeous main dining room and terrace, but unfortunately they stuck us in the reject room (I didn't bother to take a picture), a small annex dining room off the main large space. It had nice views of the terrace, and at least we had a table by the window, but I regretfully wish I had spoken up at the time and asked to be seated elsewhere with better ambiance. We were served bread and popovers, a fun and unique alternative to the standard bread offering. They were crusty on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside, and had a nice buttery and eggy flavor. The food was delicious but quite rich in general. Mom and I went halfsies on two dishes. The first was the parmentier, a dish of duck confit topped with potato purée. It was luscious and flavorful, but probably contained an epic amount of butter. It was quite greasy and the potatoes were absolutely butter laden. Imagine rich duck confit topped with the absolutely heaviest and richest potato purée in the world, and that is this dish. Rich but good. It was impossible to finish because of the richness, even though we swapped our plates halfway through eating so we could sample both of our selections. We also tried the Scottish salmon with green lentils and bacon. The fish was cooked perfectly and the lentils were super flavorful. This was also a tad decadent due to the bacon-laced stewed lentils beneath the fish. I'm glad we opted for only main courses and not appetizers and/or desserts. Because this place is so posh compared to some of the other restaurants we visited on our trip, I feel like the service was also less warm in comparison to other experiences. Some of the staff was actually a bit rude to us when after our meal we wanted to go onto the terrace to take a look at the view. A server actually said we should have just asked to be seated there, like it was our fault. Very strange and awkward. Based on my personal experience, Le Mini Palais was overrated and the service was lacking. Even though the food was generally good, just heavy, I wouldn't come back here for a future meal, nor would I recommend it. There are far better restaurants in Paris with much better food and service!

You don't need to dress up super fancy here as there was a range of people dressed from leggings and parkas to actual dinnerware. I chose Le W for dinner to precede our night before going to Lido de Paris, which is very close by. For an appetizer I got the burrata di buffala which is basically tomato and greens with this MASSIVE piece of burrata cheese. It was delicious, light, and fresh! I love burrata cheese and this is some of the best I've ever had. It's the star of this plate. My friend also had the duck pâté with foie gras which was good, but not as enjoyable as the burrata. I was very impressed with the duck breast for the entree. The potatoes were also delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection here and well worth the price. We did not have dessert here because the sections didn't interest us.

Too noisy because it is hard to hear the person in front of you. The place is also so packed that you can even eat in your neighbour place. Therefore, it is impossible to have a private conversation. The service is ok but you must be patient because it is very very long and you will have to ask several times before to get served. The food is not what you can expect from such place, mostly industrial and cold. We were 4 people on a business lunch with a client. We had to ask 3 times to get the meat cooked. The fourth time we just refused it and we got a "charcuterie" plate. It took us 2 hours for a lunch with an entrée, a desert and coffee, just unacceptable. I will not recommend at all this place and it will be our first and last time there.
