    Inedible, fat and gristle-ridden steak with a delicious hollandaise sauce. Skip the steak.
    Rob P.

    We had a 5 hour layover at Charles De Gaulle Airport, and spent some time passing shops that scream "you can't afford me" before finding this place. Prices seemed reasonable (for Paris) and the food looked...pretty. This is Paris, after all. I started with a Chimay Grande Reserve while my wife had a white wine...the perfect tonic for jet lag. The food was suitably gorgeous. My plate had a whitefish with a smoky mound of spinach on top, and a tomato compote formed into a rectangle. The fish was bland, but the spinach was terrific. The compote was basically stewed tomatoes. Not bad when paired with the fish and spinach. The highlight of the meal was the cream of zucchini soup with roasted mini potatoes. I savored every spoonful of roasted goodness in the purée. The roasted exterior of the potatoes added a gorgeous pop with every bite. My wife's steak also looked pretty, but it was a minefield of fat and gristle. It was seriously impossible to find a single bite that didn't require a lot of chewing. The taste was good, but not worth the effort. The hollandaise sauce was great, but who wants to pay 35 euros for sauce? The service was good, and the decor is beautiful...much nicer than you'd expect at an airport. I would stop here for breakfast (which wasn't available at the time) or drinks. But, is it too much to expect that the steak be edible? Guy Martin is a legendary French chef who has earned three Michelin stars. For the steak to be this shockingly awful tells me that he has not been in this restaurant in a very long time. It's unacceptable for any restaurant to serve something this bad, but it's particularly unforgivable given the reputation that his name carries.

    A great backdrop in the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport - terminal 2E Gate L, yet the service & food were unpleasing. We repeatedly had to garner the wait staff to get assistance. The staff needs more training, as the iPad ordering was not seamless. I got the Vegan burger - it was undercooked & tasteless. My Daughter got the Duck foie gras terrine & did not finish it. The price point was ridiculously too high - two Mimosas & two entrees - 90 Euros, definitely not worth it. We thought this was a good decision since we didn't have access to AirFrance Lounge. Something I did try to push back on as we have Delta Sky Lounge access & AirFrance is a "partnered" airline & was hoping for a good experience at I Love Paris by Guy Martin. Negative & noted not to visit here again upon our next layover in CDG.

    The food is ok, a bit salty and pricey... After a couple days in UK, the food h in France is much more expensive.... The environment is fine, well it is the only nice dining place in terminal 2E L... and the service is slowwww. Only one guy for 10 tables, and he likes to chit chat with people l, so almost never look at another direction...

    I wanted to like it since it's nice having a sitdown dinner service before my last few moments in Paris. Terminal 2E - L gates didn't have any other choices but food-grab-n-go style cafes. I went for the Entree + Plat + Dessert for 47€ - The Leek Salad was good - The Zander fish was also good but maybe a dash of salt would be better - The creme brulee was also good, although cracking the glaze was not as satisfying as I would like (lol) For a restaurant named as I Love Paris, the menu was a bit disappointing. Their menu doesn't highlight favorite french cuisine. Service was disappointing as the wait was long for food from the kitchen. The waiter was good and attentive though.

    It's probably one of the best breakfast choices at CTG airport, I checked out half a dozen breakfast places in the airport & they hardly have any hot food. They were kind to make Omelet into egg white substitute & it tasted great! The server was nice & accommodating, Thank you!

    Risotto

    Not the best risotto or salad or food... there is other options around the same place. Risotto extremely dry ($21) Cesar salad with egg and bacon ($25)

    Flax seeds paste that came with the fish as a main dish.
    Hope N.

    This one star is only for the service, although the flax seeds paste under the fish is not something to rave about. The table next to us ordered water with their lunch. The discussed face of the waitress was undeniable. All the other waitresses have the same "love" for their job.

    Lamb with rolled zucchini and summer squash, and puréed vegetable triangles. Delicious!

    Fine dining sit down restaurant in Terminal 2E by the L Gates. Beautiful atmosphere, with elevated ceilings, retro furniture, and classy feel. Entrees run between €25-€40, or there are some entrees you can pair with an appetizer or dessert for €36. We ordered water which cost us €15 (€7.50/bottle) Because of this I'm docking a star. Everything about our food was fantastic. Beautiful appearance and very flavorful. Service was slow even though they weren't busy. It was the only sit down option in the terminal. If you're looking for anything more affordable, I'd recommend the pre-made sandwiches and salads that are offered throughout the terminal.

    French fries were amazing. Hot chocolate was extremely chocolaty. Taste like candy in your cup. Everything taste much better and fresher in France for some reason. Seriously. I wish I knew the very Beautiful young deep complexion lady name (looks like she's 16). What an amazing conversation I had with her. Worth a simple conversation she ease my anxiety, from missing my flight, and gaining a lengthy layover. Not many people speak as much English as I expected in Paris France. She didn't think that she spoke much English, but she spoke MUCH better than any restaurant I've visit during my stay. She assist me with charging my phone too. I WAS so nervous, yet so blessed to be able to get a flight to Houston. And I sat at this bar for hours. Until my flight was ready to board.

    #159 I loved this place! I stopped in for a few martinis before my trip back to SF and really loved my server/bartender. The drinks were super strong. The atmosphere was beautiful. They offered foods next door which you cold bring into the bar. I tried to tip my bartender but it seemed like it was a mass confusion. I told her I had only American currency and credit cards. Which would she accept? She said, "Either," so I placed $14 dollars in the counter. She said, "I haven't charged your card yet." I was thinking, why would you? I gave you more than enough here... After all was said and done, we realized there is a European tip tax already included; however, I tipped her on top of that tax. Why not? Great bar, great drinks, great service.

    Service: smooth, efficient, respectful Staff: delightful Food: nicely presented and tasty Decor and ambience: relaxing and a pleasant step up from standard CDG airport fare Other: confusing entry way (where to go if we it wanted to be seated), a bit pricey for what you get The wait staff were wonderful All in all, a refreshing place to eat between adventures
