    Pork belly atop a bed of mashed potatoes, risotto in the background
    Karen Y.

    Incredibly delicious modern French fare, with an intimate ambiance! We made reservations for two for dinner, and were seated quickly. Jonathan came by to chat a bit before taking our order. He spoke fluent English, which I appreciated; I felt more comfortable asking questions and for recommendations. The meal opened with a complimentary amouse bouche of a small cup of green lentil soup. It was very interesting. Savory and light, with a thin texture. The bread was so good! I watched Jonathan slice it for us and bring it over. It had a fantastic texture; chewy but fluffy, light on the inside, with a lovely crust on the outside. The bread itself was one of my favorite parts of our meal. I ordered pork belly atop a bed of mashed potatoes. The potatoes were so creamy and decadent, but still light. How do they do it? The potatoes also had some herbs inside, which made for a well-rounded bite with the pork. The pork was tender and juicy, practically perfect. My date ordered the risotto. Creamy, cheesy, delicious. The texture was soft, but not monotonous; it was very smooth. All in all, Fish might be our favorite French restaurant of the trip. I'm looking forward to returning!

    We thoroughly enjoyed dinner here two nights on our recent trip to Paris. Both were incredible meals. Staff is very friendly, service is fantastic. Make this a must stop place next time you are in Paris in the Latin Quarter!

    Great place to gather with friends.

    Warm, lively yet cozy, bistro/wine bar brimming with friendly people and fine spirits. Great people watching by the window in the epicenter of Parisian culture, St. Germain. Staff spoke English and were attentive. Food was executed flawlessly and delicious. So inviting. Highly recommend!

    fresh bread!

    I got the 3 course meal but I also got to try other people's dish as well! Sharing is caring! Their bread was nice and warm and super seasoned. I had to eat seconds! 1) Saint Jacques Thinly sliced scallop sashimi served with fresh dill and pickled beat cabbages. It was very refreshing and a good start to the meal 2) Tuna Tartare Probably my favorite over the scallops. Perfectly seasoned diced up tuna with thinly sliced radish, diced up sweet pineapple, and some micro greens to garnish. 3) Seared tuna steak over potatoes This was also pretty good as well. Presentation is great here. You can see the level of attention to detail here. Looked to be some thinly sliced taro chip served underneath the tuna along with potatoes and aioli. 4) Daurade (Sea bream) Perfectly cooked sea bream. Nice crispy skin and perfectly moist fish meat. Served with a rich broth and some blocks of root and garnished with dill. Desserts tried were Ganache chocolat and Doughnut. Total meal for 4 people came to over 154 EUROS.

    Faced with the task of summarizing my meal at Fish, I'm feeling a bit unenthusiastic. My father recommended it as a casual place, not too expensive and generally tasty. I was bummed to find out it was owned and mostly staffed by ex-pats, which just makes me a snob. But you, fellow yelp reader, may want to know that when making your decision about where to eat on your one night in Paris. The table d'hote menu looked appealing, and for 35 euro, I decided I'd try it all. Allow me to remind you that 35 euro turns out to be many more dollars in the event that you are someone who 1) thinks in American currency and 2) dares to do the math as a means of self flagellation. The food was yummy in a basic way. The gazpacho was quite delicious, but mostly because I was thrilled by the glob of sorbet floating in it. The fish was tasty--Marlen? It was white and the flavors were good. The basil panna cotta was pretty delicious, but you know how it is with panna cotta--its kind of mono-flavored so don't expect anything more. One of the waitresses was turning red from the amount of wine she was drinking over by the espresso machine, which was off-putting. It was the end of the night so go ahead girl, finish the bottle, but be discrete! Whomever made our coffee, however, did the job just fine. Be warned: THEY DO NOT ACCEPT AMERICAN EXPRESS. This does not mean that they are more authentically French, despite popular opinion.

    We had the most wonderful dinner at Fish la Boissonnerie our last night in Paris! I was misinformed that reservations were not needed. Luckily, we arrived a few minutes before the restaurant opened at 7pm and managed to snag the only table that had not been reserved! I would highly recommend reserving a table in advance. The menu at Fish la Boissonnerie is only in French and unfortunately our waitress seemed to be the only employee who did not speak fluent English. Fortunately she spoke just enough English to tell us some of the ingredients in the dishes so we did not have to rely solely on our dictionary. We started our meal off with a wonderful bottle of Cabernet. We each choose the Prix Fixe Menu which included the choice of an appetizer and entree for under 40 euros. We aren't completely sure what we ordered, but we loved every last bite!!! I ordered a buttery stuffed pasta appetizer and this magnificent pork dish that was served over a bed of spicy cucumber, cabbage, and bean shoots. My husband ordered a clams and squid appetizer and the white fish. My sister ordered the ceviche and the white fish. Despite the language barrier our waitress was so friendly and helpful. We were never rushed during our meal despite the crowds of people that attempted to get a table. If you are looking for fancy food without the hefty price tag and pretentious attitude I highly recommend dining at Fish la Boissonnerie.

    Enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and wines. Good vibe, too. Since not many places are open on Sundays, this place was packed with people after 8pm...saw lots of folks were turned away w/o reservations. Had tuna carpaccio for appetizer, and John Dory as main as per recommendations - both were great. Poor server Benedict was running around like chicken all the time from attending the bar, greeting guests, cutting bread, getting fresh bread from the main restaurant across the street, refilling wines, washing glasses, answering phone, etc...but he still managed to smile all the time...impressive. As others said, it's English-speaking friendly environment.

    Solid 3 star restaurant. They expanded the place according to the blogs but I can't see how. Food wise the kitchen puts outs quality dishes with some flair. On this visit we started off with a cucumber gazpacho with truffle oil and it was paired with a 1er Cru Chablis. Next was the rabbit tureen (sp) with pickled veggies. This dish was light and explosive in flavors. The rabbit was moist and chunky -- clearly did not skimp on the meat. Next up the roast lamb. Roasted to perfection and served with heirloom radishes and baby cabbage on top of a bed of mashed potatoes darken with black olives. Skipped desert and opted for another carafe of wine. Cheers

    My fiancé and I didn't have reservations but were lucky enough to snag the last two bar seats for our final dinner in Paris and are so glad we did! Our server was so kind (and bilingual). Seeing we were having trouble picking a wine, she asked us a little more about our preferences and ended up recommending a nice, medium bodied white with a buttery finish that was our favorite wine of our trip. There were plenty of food options and even as a vegetarian, I was able to find great choices for a full three course me. We got the lentil soup and ceviche to start, cod and gnocchi as mains, and the panna cotta and orange tarte for dessert. Everything was delicious, the ingredients were very fresh, well put together, and the presentation was beautiful. The orange tarte in particular was incredible. This ended up being our favorite meal in Paris, and we would highly recommend it!

    Truly a hidden gem in Paris at the Saint-Germain-Des-Pré district! Such a wonderful seafood restaurant! The fish (Grilled Hake) are cooked to perfect with a crispy skin on top, the sauce to the fish is just like soulmate to each other! I could hear them singing in my month. It was amazing!! We also had razor clams for the starter that evening and it was unbelievably delicious!!!!! They have a great wine list and the customer service was excellent. It was such a fabulous dining experience!!

    My last night in Paris, I was determined to have at least one fancy dinner; I settled based on friends' recommendations at Fish La Boissonnerie, a nice walk from the Orsay & l'Orangerie, through the art gallery district and a bit of boutique shopping, should you be looking for holiday gifts, as I was. I arrived right when they opened, and had no trouble being seated without a reservation at that time. The meal opened with a complimentary taste of green lentil soup, delicious. I did some thorough googling of the menu, as my very limited French had met its match, and settled on tete de cochon (pig's head), which I admit, made me nervous, but it was served in a presentation that was sort of like a crab cake, almost -- chopped fine, shaped into a round, and fried, I think? With a mushroom mousse, and other delightful elements I can't name now, but it was all so good, I wanted to lick the plate. I followed that, on my waiter's recommendation, with the scallops -- but I'm not sure I've ever really had scallops before, if they're to be compared to this melting deliciousness. My god. With a fennel puree, and this one I really did very slowly savor each bite, not wanting the plate to end. I was tempted by a cheese course, but couldn't resist the passionfruit dessert, with ice cream and chocolate cracker and little delicious bits on top and it was just all so good. I might have added a touch more passionfruit myself, but I am a fruit dessert person -- there was a lot of chocolate hidden under that cracker, more than I needed, but others might disagree. It was all truly splendid, and the only thing that would have made it better would have been having someone there to share it with. But I read a very nice book while I ate, and all was well. Recommended!

Some highlights: The amuse bouche course was incredible end-to-end, but what really stood out for me was a blue masa shell holding mussel, sauce, and microgreens/herbs/flowers. The mix of the different herbs, the savory salinity of the mussel, and the sauces was wonderfully complex, yet also harmonious. The poached sea trout with pumpkin and horseradish ice cream was very satisfying. The mix of poached trout and horseradish cream was very familiar, yet the twist of making the horseradish a wholly different temperature and texture was really surprising and innovative. The monkfish in adobo was another extraordinary dish. I have only had monkfish liver before, but the way they were able to perfectly cook the monkfish gave it a texture and flavor reminiscent of lobster. With the spice of the adobo, it was a really well balanced dish. Additionally, all of the wines that we tried were also notable and delicious. Frenchie has definitely earned its Michelin star, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has another by the next time I come back.

    Food--quite good. Service--rather odd…read more My husband had made a reservation at Le Fumoir well in advance of our visit to Paris. He chose it because of the reviews and also the fact that the seating area layout seemed to provide more space between tables than is sometimes the case. When we entered, a server directed us to the host station by the bar. My husband had printed out his email with the address & the reservation, and he had made some notes on it about things to consider on the menu. We were seated at a nice window table A woman did come right away to ask about sparkling or still water. Wines are by the glass--no bottles were listed that we saw. The server just stood over us for several minutes while we were looking at the menu, which was a little uncomfortable. So my husband explained we would need a few minutes. She seemed offended. Then the male host came over and insisted on seeing the paper my husband had with the email. He took it out of my husband's hand and started trying to read my husband's notes. I asked if there was a problem with the reservation--had they found it? The man said something about wanting to know if it was prepaid (do they do gift certificates in Paris? We had no idea what he meant). I said no, it was not, so he left again. The menu is prix fixe. A different server came to take our order. She was more upbeat and jovial. The amuse bouche was a pickled herring. I ordered the pumpkin veloute soup, which was yummy. Then I had the vegetarian plate, which was fine but not memorable: squash, mushrooms, and an egg on top. My husband ordered the sausage plate. At the end, I requested the check (l'addition"). The server asked twice if we wanted to add a tip to put on the card. I have not had that happen before in Paris, where the tipping conventions are different, and a 15% service charge is included in the prices by law. I asked if it was not included ("compris") and she said no, it was not. I did leave a cash tip. But all in all, some of those awkward moments with the staff detracted from the experience.

This restaurant is absolutely packed and I don't know what % are Walk ins but my hubby booked the restaurant a month in advance. The food is average and the service lacking.

One party beside us left after about more than 45 mins of the waiter not showing up to get their orders. The restaurant itself was unique though. Where we sat looked like a library before with books all over the room. It could be that we came at a bad time, nonetheless, there's other restaurants in Paris to try before I come back to Le Fumoir.

Ambience is French countryside rustic - Didn't have to dress up, didn't have to wait for choreographed service or any of the nonsense that the low reviews seem to crave. Just a very good restaurant. Some of the pairings were super interesting and really transformed the dish. However, on the day of our service, some dishes (such as the grilled endive) was a bit of a let down. There was a wine that is intentionally oxidated, very daring pairing but I was not a fan. Would like to come back and give it one more try!
