We headed here just before lunchtime opening to see if there was availability. Lo and behold, Chef Philippe was sitting in the front with the staff for a last minute smoke break before opening. He was able to set us up with a table for 6 right then and there! We were very lucky as we had heard it was difficult to get a table without a reservation here Had heard great things about this place and expectations were met. We all went with the 3 course price fixe meal Very reasonably priced for the 6th Arrondissement eateries. We only had one fluent French speaker amongst us, but the staff graciously accommodated our limited French. Service was quick and friendly and the place filled up very quickly . Lobster bisque soufflé, filet de turbo, and especially the dark chocolate / chocolate noire soufflé were very well prepared and very much enjoyed! Others at the table enjoyed their Crème brûlée for dessert , as well as all the fresh vegetables with the dishes. Chef Philippe came out to chat with our table a bit, which was quite kind. Definitely would recommend a meal here to any families, larger parties. read more

Soufflés are life!! I got the seafood soufflé to start, ravioli as main and a coffee chocolate soufflé for dessert. My favorite, of course, was the dessert soufflé. Come early!! I wasn't able to get reservations because the only way is to call them, when I tried it didn't even ring. read more

Delicious soufflés are served here at La Cuisine de Philippe! If you want to the real deal, this is where to go. Anyone who is anyone knows to order this one: Soufflé à la bisque de homard, chair de crabe et estragon (lobster bisque, the flesh of crab and tarragon). Aside from ordering amazing like-eating-a-cloud greatness, be sure to order a good bottle of wine and make a reservation because this cozy joint can get packed. read more

La Cuisine de Philippe was our first dinner in Paris and it was a good starter to all the great French food we would eventually eat during our trip. Like most restaurants, they offer a fixed menu and I chose the option for a starter and main course for 39€. The space inside is really small but we snagged the last available table. The workers spoke English to us and I was pleasantly surprised to find other groups of English speakers in the restaurant as well. The menu isn't in English so have your Google Translate app ready. Soufflé à la bisque de homard, chair de crabe et estragon: The reason I wanted to try this restaurant! I've read reviews raving about their various different kinds of soufflés and wanted to try their lobster bisque one. I was a little disappointed though. It was really fluffy, super jiggly...but I thought maybe too fluffy. It wasn't very substantial and the texture was like eating bubbles. The flavor was there though! Ravioles de langoustines à l'estragon: Scared that I would be eating too much steak, I opted for this seafood ravioli. Pretty good but they don't give a lot of pieces. The sauce pairs really nicely with the free bread. The meal came with free bread but I found it to be a bit too tough, roughing up the roof of my mouth. Not bad as our first meal but it didn't make our top 5. I think I could've done with a different starter and just tried a dessert soufflé. read more

Love Chef Philippe! I have been here many times and it is always a great meal and fun time.

3 Course Lunch €33 The entree (American appetizer) was the lobster and crab soufflé. The main dish was the angus beef hanger steak in crushed pepper and cognac sauce. The dessert was chocolate soufflé. The server kindly let us split a 3 course between two people. We were still really full from breakfast. But I wanted to try the traditional French soufflé. So we came here anyway. So glad that we found this little hidden gem. The lobster bisque with fresh crab and tarragon soufflé was such a warm and fluffy dish. Made me fell in love with savory soufflés. (I usually prefer sweet ones.) It was just so light and airy. There was also big chunks of lobster and crab meats in the middle. Every spoon was just delightful. The angus beef hanger steak with cognac was was really tender. They even split the steak into two plates for us. To be honest, it wasn't the most memorable dish for this meal. The soufflé was too good. The chocolate soufflé was super decadent, crispy putter layer filled with oozy soft chocolate goodness fillings. We devoured it with so much joy. In the end, the chef came out and asked us about the food. He was really nice and friendly. This was one of my favorite meal in Paris. Thank you for being so awesome! read more

We came across this restaurant while looking for souffles. We also saw that Mikey Chen came here a few years back. After making a reservation for about 1 week in advance, we arrived for dinner. The menu is a 3 course menu with choice of starter, main, and dessert. This restaurant offers staples on their regular menu but they also have specials which I highly recommend. My wife and I tried different things so we tried 6 dishes in total. The savory souffles were unique. We tried both the lobster/crab and smoked cheese special. Both were great. The cheese reminded of the classic cheese bread in a brazilin restaurant but in a light fluffy manner. Both were unique. For the mains, the duck special was phenomenal. Possibly the best duck I've had in Paris to date (we also went to Alleno Paris this trip). This was a special, so it may not be on the menu daily. We also had the fish which was fine. Dessert wise we did the chocolate/pistachio and strawberry. The chocolate/pistachio was a bit runnier than the strawberry but still great. I could see the perspective of some reviews stating that their souffles are more runny. It's not that they are undercooked but I think it is intentional to have that consistency. Overall, great place and would come back in a heart beat if in the area. read more

Holy moly this place is a gem that I accidentally stumbled upon via a lime scooter in sep 2018. I was able to bring my parents later that week and they enjoyed the food so much they didn't bother to talk to me or each other during the meal. I had a terrible migraine during appetizer which lead me to not be able to eat after that. I felt so terrible because Chef Philippe thought I didn't like the food... no way! I hope to return again and enjoy the amazing creations of this place once covid ends. Reservations via phone or email are highly recommended. read more

What an amazingly charming and wonderful restaurant. It has a very friendly staff that patiently allowed me to struggle thru my rudimentary French. (Don't worry, they do speak English as well and have English subtitles on their menus). Fortunately I arrived as they opened as it was clear that this was a popular place as it filled with people with reservations. A lot of locals clearly know about this gem. For roughly €43 I enjoyed an appetizer, a main course, and of course dessert. The owner/chef Philippe even came out to greet the early guests. Everything I had was top notch from the lobster bisque with crab soufflé to the still sizzling duck potato pie to the soufflé aux Grand Marnier. I had many wonderful meals in Paris but this may be the best meal I had my entire trip. That is saying something. read more

This restaurant was a delight. I went here for a work dinner because some colleagues had visited and said great things about the lobster soufflé. I had that for my meal and really enjoyed it. For dessert, I had the raspberry soufflé and it was fantastic. What I really liked about this restaurant was how Philippe, the chef, came to our table and checked in on our group personally. Very nice touch! read more

We came here for lunch and the cozy restaurant filled up very quickly, mostly with locals. There are two options, either 2 course or 3-course prix fixe, starter, entree and/or dessert. The prix-fixe menu also includes a glass of wine. I ordered the lobster, crab soufflé to start and the Grand Mariner soufflé for dessert. Both were so light and delicious! Others in my party ordered the cottage pie of duck for the entree. It was similar to Shepherd's pie but instead of ground lamb, it's mashed potatoes with duck. I could smell all the butter emanating from the mashed potatoes. If I could eat more at lunch, I would definitely order this next time. The other soufflés we tried were the chocolate and rhubarb, really can't go wrong with any of them! Service is super friendly and the owner came out twice to greet us. I have to agree with the others, these are among the best soufflés ever! What a hidde gem near the Jardin du Luxembourg. Next time, I'm in Paris, I will definitely be going again. read more

Best soufflé in Paris. Sadly, it is closed. If anyone knows a place that is as good please post.

Overall, fantastic experience from beginning to end! The place is cozy & romantic without being pretentious. The food was divine! The chef comes out and greets every table. My husband & I had a memorable evening here. Will never forget it. read more

Merci for a great dinner! This tiny little restaurant is such a gem, and service was great. There was only one waitress that did not speak perfect english, but did her best in accommodating us and trying to explain the menu when we had questions. But fear not, the menu does have english! She was super swamped once the restaurant was full, so she was not attentive and forgot things here and there, but overall it was good service. The food was amazing! For starters, my husband and I both ordered the lobster bisque with crab souffles. There were only a few pieces of crab meat, but this dish was so fluffy it was unreal. The souffle was fluffy, and the bisque was fluffy! It blew my mind..... must've been a lot of whisking or something because the bisque was as light as air and melted right in your mouth. Entrees we ordered was the veal kidney and sea bass with risotto. The sea bass is one I would definitely recommend. The flavors were a perfect balance. The veal kidney on the other hand was also very good, but not for those who don't like kidneys because it does have somewhat of a gammy taste, if you will. I enjoyed it, but my husband did not like it at all. The potatoes that came on the side, was good with the kidney sauce though I must say. And lastly the dessert- salted caramel souffle. Drool..... my non sweet loving husband even said it was good. Again the same fluffiness of the souffle combined with the salted caramel was definitely one of the best souffles I've had. I also appreciated that Chef Philippe came out to greet all his patrons as well. I always enjoy meeting the Chefs.Aside from me recommending this restaurant, it was also Michelin Guide restaurant if that makes a difference. =) The meal for us with wine and espresso at the end was about 100 Euros for two people - not cheap but it is a good meal. Photos to come soon! read more

I walk by this place everyday and finally got to try it a year later!! I have heard raving reviews about their soufflé so I had to try it. They have two options for dinner which is 40€ for starter, main, and dessert or 35€ for main and starter OR main and dessert. They have monthly wines of the month for 4€. (I wish they have a starter and dessert only option, read why below) My boyfriend and I made reservations the night before (not necessary to book too much in advance, they are popular but not that popular). This place could sadly easily be three stars because I found my main dish to be awful. Let me tell you about the whole meal. We were seated promptly at 7:30 pm and given our menus. It took about ten minutes for the two person team to come back and take our order. You order your whole meal at once so we got the lobster soufflé and cheese soufflé to start with a glass of their monthly white. I found the lobster soufflé a little too salty for my liking. They also bring you bread so with every bite of the lobster, I took a whole bread. The texture of the soufflé was, however, amazing. The cheese soufflé was basic but delicious. Our mains were so disappointing. We both got the peppered steak and we both asked for it well done, mine extra extra well. The sight of blood makes me cringe. I know it's considered a crime to eat steak that way here but I can't, I'm sorry. My steak came out bloody!! Also the pepper sauce had a weird smell to it. It came with side of potatoes which was amazing and a weird mousse of mushroom that I didn't touch. Now desserts was phenomenal. We got the dark chocolate soufflé and the pistachio and chocolate soufflé. We asked for a glass of cold milk and they charged us 3€ which we found absurdly expensive. The desserts were not too sweet but just perfect. So all in all, our meal came out to be 95€. Would I eat here again? No. Do I regret eating here? Not at all. They made sure our water was refilled constantly and our desserts were amazing. No one does soufflé like them so four stars!! read more

Though we came here late, we were able to order and eat. My party of four was there past closing and even got to meet the chef. We each ordered the set meal and tried everything between us. The souffles are delicious (especially the sweet ones) and I'll forever love the creme brulee I ordered here. Lovely crackle of sugar and creamy egg custard. Side note, if you have your phone out, one of the guys will automatically give you the WiFi password without you asking (at least that's what happened for us). read more

This was one of the best meals I had when we were in Paris. My recommendation is get there before opening if you do not have a RSVP. Philippe so graciously to let us in and explained that all tables had RSVP but there is one table available if we would like? The food was amazing! The soufflé was heaven! A cloud that has lots of flavor!!! I would definitely go again! read more

Charming, delicious, and reasonably priced, La Cuisine de Philippe was the perfect first dinner in Paris. Specializing in souffles, this traditional French restaurant is warm and inviting to all guests. It was here that I sampled my first savory souffle, a medley of lobster and crayfish. My main was a delightful duck breast in a honey sauce; so simple and delicious. For dessert, I was in pure heaven with a pistachio chocolate souffle and a Grand Marnier souffle. 3 courses for 40€; an excellent value for sure. The service was gracious and friendly. The waitress kindly spoke French slowly enough so my American ear could try and translate, even though she spoke some English (always make the effort to speak some French!). Reservations are an absolute must. Attire is smart casual; nice jeans are okay. read more

There is a lot you could say about this restaurant: and it would all be good things! The food is authentic, original and extremely well prepared. The same goes for the service and interior. Its not cheap and you will find some foreigners here, but nevertheless, its one of the most authentic french restaurants I've ever eaten. Make sure you reserve well in advance as the place is packed almost every night (we booked 2 months in advance). read more

We came here to try the soufflé. They were great, BUT you cannot order them à la crate. You have to spend about $42-$50 to try one or two soufflés (savory or sweet). The main course was awful. My coq au vin was so tough, it was like eating leather. My French friend ordered the duck entree, and it was also very tough. If this place allowed their patrons to order à la carte, I would come back. The soufflés were great, but it's not worth having to pay for an awful main dish. This restaurant should stick to only soufflés. Learn to cook the meat dishes properly, or take it out of the menu. read more

This restaurant is wonderful..Service was friendly. My daughter and I both have savory souffle and sweet one. I prefer eating Sweet Souffle. It was a bit much eating the savory and sweet all at once. Will definitely come back again on our next trip to Paris. read more

Wow, just wow on the raving reviews of this place. Philippe is a kind man to be sure. That's where it ends.... The soufflé are prepared and the texture shows it. Our waiter obviously mis rang our starter soufflés and when they brought them out, they realized they were wrong. Instead of admitting it they said the soufflés were dropped on the floor, so they had to start over. (Which would have been completely acceptable except we then saw them serve those to the couple next to us as though they were fresh. ) My husband ordered the steak special (skirt steak cooked medium and it was served raw. Not rare--raw. ) I ordered the duck and it was just bad. I think that one can use the bathroom here, pass by the kitchen and realize that you're not getting a good meal. The kitchen is microscopic and there is no way that they can prepare a meal for an entire restaurant there. Truly our worst meal in Paris. I leave this review not to disparage the owner, but to warn the novice traveler to Paris....this is not the place. Not a single Parisian in the place. That should tell you something. read more

We don't speak French but the waitress did her best to explain the menu to us. She was super sweet and made our experience here so much more memorable!

Small, cozy, traditional French dining located near the Luxembourg Gardens. Our hotel's concierge recommended La Cuisine de Philippe and made reservations for us (recommended since the place is so small). Among the four of us, we ordered lobster soufflee, coq au vin, and, for dessert, the rhubarb souflee. Everything was excellent. One note of advice: order any dessert souflees when ordering your main meal because the souflees take 20 minutes to make. As others mentioned, the owner greeted us and was very friendly. His English is not great, but we seemed to be able communicate just fine. read more

This is a fantastic restaurant to have an intricate French meal! Menu is prix fixed and for three courses it was around 43 euro pp, aka totally worth it for Paris price standards.

I got the duck breast in honey for a main and it was sublime. And the dessert, two more great souffle's. Way worth it and very delicious! read more
