Best fish we've ever had! (And, as fish-lovers, that's saying a lot.) Veggies were perfect. Amazing desserts. Great wine selection. Ben the manager/barkeep, is a charming mensch. This was the culinary highlight of our Paris trip. Don't miss it! read more

Quaint small restaurant in St. Germaine. Quite a find with fresh, tasty food. Each presentation beautiful with extreme quality of fish, meat, cheese and wine. read more

Very cozy, great food beautifully presented, and an impressive wine list. The bread is amazing!

This place is a gastro pub in the pure American sense. We tried their red fish and the scallops. The foie gras was spectacular.

I loved this place and I'd give it a 4.5 star now, but we don't have that option. We had the salmon tartar starter, with a passion fruit puree. I liked it, but our mains, the duck and the cod were outstanding. Of particular note the cod on quinoa and spinach was the best cod I've had in 6 weeks so far in a gastronomic country chock-filled with cod. The little fish was cooked to perfection and with no bones or fleshy resistance. It's funny, I thought this was a fish place, but they had equal amounts of duck, lamb and beef on the menu. I asked the chef to cook the duck to his preference, and it was very undercooked, and to my liking. Great friendly service as well-- a lovely spot! read more

We had an amazing lunch -- one of the best meals we had in Paris. Friendly waitstaff (helpful in English). Great wine list. And great seafood. Would recommend to anyone. read more

A very good meal. I had lamb liver to start--a little rare for my taste--but an excellent dish nonetheless. Next, we had the John Dory fish w housemade pasta--slightly salty but delicious. Finally an orange cream tart. Pretty expensive but excellent service and overall high quality ingredients. read more

Such a fun evening. The owner greeted us as we came in we sat at the bar since we didn't have reservations. The other helper mentioned arriving at 7 and we did just that. Our server was Clemons and he wears helpful with the menu choices and was extremely friendly. We had the pre-fixe menu 32 € and such a great deal! I had the Jerusalem artichoke soup holy merde!!!! So creamy and delicious, just right to start my memorable meal. For my entree I had the grilled scallops with charred cauliflower. So good it made my eyes water! For the grand finale a orange cream brûlée that made me wish I was in bed with my PJ's on. Thank you Andrew for a memorable evening my first evening in Paris. read more

So nice place in Paris, with a great team serving. The wine is wonderful and the price is good for he quality of the food there. Take Foie gras for entree with a glass of white wine, you won't be disappointed! read more

This restaurant is fantastic. Soo soo good. Friendly staff, good wine selection and creative food. Had the "line caught" fish with radish butter- when is radish butter going to catch on because it is out of this world????! Quite possibly the best meal we had in France read more

We had a great experience at Fish la Boissonnerie! The menu was very creative, each dish an inventive combination of flavors and still a great selection on a one-page menu. Staff was above and beyond friendly, helped us with the menu translation and very attentive at the table. The chef also made a personal visit to a few tables and you can tell that everyone at the restaurant was working to make everything the best it can be, top to bottom. We recommend to anyone looking for some great cuisine and a memorable evening. read more

Always wonderful for food and service. Be sure to book as it's fairly small and quite popular.

I used to say good simple seafood, but an even better wine bar. But on my latest trip, it appears the kitchen has taken it up another notch in creativity. Go, you'll like it. Run by a Californian ex-pat. Inventive and reasonably priced wine list. Often gets crowded and noisy (which makes it fun), so go early or reserve. read more

I chose Fish because It was recommended for solo diners. The bar is excellent to eat at and the menus is small but diverse. Wine is excellent. By 8 pm on a Saturday the place was buzzing with friendly fun people. Food is excellent. read more

I think the chef was insulted because my husband can't eat mushrooms and doesn't like kale and asked not to include them with his fish. It wasn't meant as an insult but as a result his piece of fish was wee tiny and his plate covered with kale. The edible part of my lamb was delicious but the rest of it was sinewy and had gristle. Very disappointing dinner from what was once our favorite restaurant in Paris. read more

Once we got past Harry Potter, behind the bar, who was kind of rude in pointing out we didn't have a reservation, the dinner was fantastic ( otherwise would have been 5 stars ). The waitresses were very friendly and helpful. The meal was not only the best we've had so far in Paris, but the best we've had in a long time. Starter was thinly sliced beef, lightly cooked and seasoned. Main course was delicious butternut squash gnocchi and my wife had roasted cauliflower with mushrooms, both delicious. Desert was just as good with a pistachio cake with fresh strawberries and fruit sorbet. Definitely recommend, but make a reservation. read more

Fish la Boissonnerie - Butternut squash gnocchi - French Near Me - Paris, 75

We have been to this restaurant many times during our annual visits to Paris but have to admit we were disappointed this time around. The atmosphere and service were still very good. However, there were not many fish main courses on the menu which is why we always came to this establishment. We ended eating lamb, chicken and beef. And all our dishes had combinations of sweet and sour ingredients making for some very odd tastings. Not at all what we expected. The bread is still excellent. read more

The rudeness at this establishment is unbelievable I can not recommend this establishment at all. My friend ordered a dish that was unclearly explained. She thought it was fish and it was fish mousse. She took one look at it and didn't want it. She very kindly asked for something else. She is a lovely person, was going to eat it but she really didn't want it. We said "You should send it back I'm sure it won't be a problem. You didn't eat any of it and it was clearly a miscommunication" The manager was rude said "He couldn't sell it." And was mad at the rest of us because we wouldn't "taste it". Huh? It's not what we thought it was. There was clearly a language barrier. The waitress did not explain it clearly. When the bill came, the dish was on it. We called their attention to it and they balked at taking it off. They offered us drinks and my friends accepted them in lieu of taking it off the bill. And agreed to take some other drinks off the bill. And only after I mentioned Yelp. I was treated so poorly and obviously they are not able to communicate effectively so if you need to modify anything they will charge you. Now, I had been here before and it was lovely. I don't know what changed. It's not about the money it's about ruining our last night in Europe when we were treated so well in Lisbon and Barcelona. They eventually apologized again after we mentioned Yelp. Stay away. read more

The staff here is incredibly discourteous and DISCRIMINATORY. I would never attempt to eat or reserve a table again based on tonight, when I arrived at 8:10pm without reservation, and the hostess/primary server greeted us in French. We acknowledged in French, but when we switched to English suddenly the friendliness disappeared. I understand this is Paris on a Friday, however 35% of seating was available, and we were only 2. She informed us that without reservation, we should return at 9pm or else try their restaurant across the street. We thanked her politely, walked across the way and realized the other restaurant was more of a wine bar and lacking in the menu. As a result, we returned to put our names in for a 9pm reservation, to which the man behind the bar (possible manager), motioned there was no availability. We acknowledged, said not a problem, we would like to put our names down to reserve at 9pm, at which point he replied, "We do not take reservations." How BIZARRE, considering there was a table for 2 with a note nearby clearly reserved for Jen, AND Yelp indicated you DO take reservations. It is rather pathetic that the restaurant feels the need to stereotype xenophobically. read more

We had a fantastic lunch here on a rainy march day. Lamb, Pollock and chicken, all cooked to perfection and with fine sides and desserts to match. While not an oenophile, my friend was and spoke well of their menu and the wine we drank. I can only say I liked it. English spoken. read more

For what is supposed to be a fish restaurant, the hype bore little resemblance to reality. A choice of only two fish..scallops that were tasteless and had the texture of frozen ones, a white fish so bland that any taste was overpowered by the choucroute. Both mains served cold. The starter of rocket salad, parmesan and date sounded good. It would have been if we were rabbits. What little parmesan or dates were lost in a sea of rocket. The overpriced wines come from a very mediocre region of France. The service was indifferent. We were tucked away in a little ghetto of English speakers at the back of the restaurant. Very very disappointing. read more

SO YUMMY and cute and quaint. Owned and run by a New Zealander (Australian? maybe?) who made delectable french fare. Had lunch with no reservation, food and wine all very reasonably priced and simply delicious. I wanted to try everything on the menu. LOVE. read more

This was our best eating experience in Paris. First and foremost, the food was excellent. Beautifully prepared and a wonderful selection. Most importantly for us was the service. When we arrived, unfortunately, without a reservation, they were completely booked. We were given an option of either sitting at the bar or at a high table with stools. My wife has severe back problems, so that wasn't feasible. We thanked them, but before leaving, the greeter/waitress explained the situation to the manager. He spent 5 minutes reviewing the nights seating schedule and offered us a table as long as we could be finished within an hour and 15 minutes. Probably unacceptable for locals, but for us, no problem. Would probably not have time for dessert. Our wait staff could not have been nicer. Our waitress went over the entire menu in English and was patient and not at all rushed. As I mentioned, the food was fantastic, and in the end, no one asked us to leave and even offered us dessert. And the place was PACKED. After many days of being made to feel a nuisance because of our limited French, this was such a pleasure. From bottom to top, a very heartfelt MERCI' read more

4.5...so I will round up! We thought this was a great place. The service was excellent. The server spoke native english, which was great for us (one of us has allergies, so this was a relief). The bread is from cosi -- really great, warm, and salty. The food was excellent. The fish was one of the best fish dishes I've had. Just cooked really well and really flavorful. It is a nice, casual, neighborhood spot. read more

Went to lunch here and had a glorious meal. Without going into too much detail, we had our best three-course meal in Paris here for a mere 69 euros. Amazingly simple and elegant food that we will long remember. read more

We go there every time we are in Paris and we are never disappointed. This year was not different. The weekly wine selection is always worth it. The food is always solid. They seem to have a new chip and I like what she prepared. You cannot get more central, at the heart of the 6th district. Walked down Rue de De Seine after differ to the rive to visit Pont des arts. Perfect evening. read more

Delicious food, excellent service, great wine! We were in Paris for 1 week and had dinner at this place on our last night. It was so much better than the brasseries and cafes on the main drags. Celery soup, lamb, and chocolate for dessert were all fantastic. I also tried the eel appetizer and the veal with pureed chorizo, which was delicious. The prices are better than anywhere else we ate. I highly recommend it! read more

I had lunch there today and it was quite good. The fish soup has a great taste and the Dorade what perfectly cooked and with celery root which isn't an everyday occurrence. At little orange creme brûlée and the deed was done. The wine was also tasty. But the bread!!!! from Cosi across the street was the best I have ever been served in Paris, kind of focaccia meats baguette! Easy to find and the best people watching on rue de Seine. read more

I love this place. I have been coming here since it opened and it has never failed to come through in the quality of the meal. The fish served here is the freshest you can find and the wine pairings are excellent. I like the Foie Gras appetizer when they do it with figs in the fall. wonderful flavors. read more
