Dining at Le Taillevent feels like stepping into a world where elegance is effortless and…read morehospitality is an art form. From the moment you arrive, the staff makes you feel like you've been welcomed into a private Parisian residence rather than a restaurant. The service is gracious without being stiff, and the pacing of the meal is exactly what you hope for in a Michelin‑level experience -- unhurried, thoughtful, and quietly confident. The Food Every dish arrives looking like it was composed with a ruler and a paintbrush. The flavors lean classic French, but there's a modern lightness that keeps the meal from ever feeling heavy. My personal standouts were: * frog legs prepared with such finesse they could convert even the hesitant. * cheese gougères that were warm, airy, and dangerously addictive. The Wine We paired our lunch with a Premier Cru Chablis from Raveneau, a bottle that felt like it was made for this kitchen -- precise, mineral, and quietly powerful. The sommelier's guidance was as thoughtful as the wine itself, adding another layer of pleasure to the meal. Atmosphere The dining rooms are quiet, refined, and unmistakably Parisian -- wood paneling, crisp linens, and a sense of calm that makes you forget the outside world exists. Price Yes, it's expensive. Very. But it's also the kind of meal you remember years later. If you're celebrating something meaningful -- or simply want to experience a piece of Parisian culinary history -- Le Taillevent delivers.

The 1985 movie Tampopo brought me here. I say this half jokingly, but the hilarity of the scene…read morewhen the restaurant is referenced coupled with the feeling of intrigue it left led me to make plans for my visit to this iconic restaurant. Ambiance: Understated elegance with a neutral color palette. The atmosphere does not destract from the food. The choice of decor elevates the experience even more. Food: I had Canard de Challans roti aux cerises, Jus a l'Amaretto. Everything about this dish was perfect. The duck was tender and juicy and the cherry sauce with vanilla complimented the duck lending a warm, sweet and tart components to the dish. Service: Days before I arrived to the restaurant an email was sent to remind me of my upcoming visit. Service from the moment I set foot in the restaurant was exceptional. One of the waitstaff escorted me to where the restrooms were and at the end of the meal, the host reserved a taxi for my departure and presented me with a copy of the evening's menu to take with me. I listed this restaurant under last meal category decades ago and this status still holds true.

One of the best restaurants I've dined in Paris. The staff was very friendly and the food was…read moreamazing. They are very famous for their duck dishes so make sure to order that. I came here with my boyfriend for a Christmas lunch. We ordered a pre-fixe menu with three dishes for 39 EUR. It was absolutely worth it. Mine was the ham appetizer, duck confit, and creme brulee. He ordered escargots, steak in pepper sauce, and creme brulee. The duck confit was so tender and the skin was so crispy. It was super flavourful and one of the best confits I've had. Definitely would love to come back here and eat another confit when i visit Paris again!

I actually didn't know that duck would be such a staple in France. I grew up with Peking duck and…read moreit's always been a childhood favorite so it was interesting to see how duck is prepared in different cultures. La Grange aux Canards specializes in duck and while I couldn't understand most of the menu, I came knowing exactly what I wanted to try. We came pretty early (early for Parisians) and were the first people at the restaurant. I had made a reservation on The Fork through Tripadvisor but I don't think I needed to. Since it was a nice day, sun was just barely going down, we opted to sit outside to enjoy the atmosphere. Our waitress spoke English and was extremely friendly and we just really enjoyed the service. Magret de Canard: This dish looks so beautiful. It was a bit tough to chew but the sweet sauce was so good. We were using the potatoes to wipe the plate clean. Eat this first because once it's cold, it's not as good. I heard from a friend that chewy duck means it's overcooked but the meat seemed rare so I'm not sure if it was supposed to be like that. Duck Confit: We had to look up what confit meant but it's a style of cooking in grease or oil but at lower temperatures, instead of deep drying. The skin was crispy and the meat was moist and tender, almost fall-off-the-bone. Definitely the winner of the night. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Having a hotel just right at the vicinity of the Sacre Coeur is a blessing on its own, I packed my bags for an early departure the next day and decided to have an early evening stroll in Montmarte - this quaint area is so nice and much prettier at night, skipping my usual dinner spot (sorry Le Relais Gascon) I walked a bit further towards the Carrousel de Saint- Pierre, and a block below to L'Anvers du Decor It was busy but I got seated inside immediately, so I started with a Demi of their Bordeaux Reserve and the Escargot Au Beurre Persille in which they also served a small basket of bread which I thoroughly enjoyed, my Boeuf Bourguignon came no sooner after I finished my snails lol with its deliciousness permeating around the table - it tasted better than it smells, bursting with flavor and cooked really well! I finished my meal with gusto! It was fantastic! To finish my meal, I had a set dessert they called Cafe Gourmand - 3 mini desserts to top off and finish a very filling dinner! I absolutely loved it. Cheers!

I had originally ventured into the area to have dinner at a separate restaurant but found that they…read morewere fully booked so I wandered around, looking at a few menus, before deciding on Chalet Gregoire. Chalet Gregoire was packed as well and I was luckily able to find seating after getting directed towards a table at the pizza restaurant across the street (which I believe are under the same owner). By the time I was seated it was roughly 10pm. For my entree, I originally ordered their foie gras toast with fig jam but found this was sold out (understandable) and instead ordered their french onion soup. It was rich, cheesy, and good overall but I had wished there was more onion and slightly less bread. For the main course I had their coq au vin, which to those unfamiliar is chicken stewed in red wine, served with a side of potatoes and carrots. The meat was extremely tender, juicy, and rich from its braise. The carrots were good but the potatoes were underwhelming and I wished they had been mashed or at least cooked more thoroughly. For dessert I had poached pear in red wine and blackurrand sorbert. The poached pear itself was good and was complemented nicely with the included red wine sauce. However, I found the sorbert to be too icy and ,when sat next to the warm pear and red wine sauce, melt quicker than I would have liked. I was not particularly fond of this and wish I had picked something different. Friendly and hard working staff with phenomenal pricing but I found the food to be average with some highlights here and there.

For 4 stars, I expected better. For apps, we got the onion soup and the frog legs. The soup was lukewarm and lacked flavor. I've made better at home. I was really disappointed because onion soup was one of the dishes that I really wanted to have in Paris and this one was not very good. The frog legs were okay but not great. They were breaded, fried, and then sauteed with a sauce, which made the breading soggy. The entrees were also fairly mediocre. The duck breast was tough, overcooked, and lacked flavor. The beef stew was better. Prices were more reasonable than other places, but for the quality of food, I'd rather pay more and get better.
