Date night dinner at LePariesan. A lovely evening. Le Pariesien is a Mid-Town restaurant located in the space formarly occupaied by Cafe Do Brazil. They have done a nice job with the renovation. It's a warm comfortable venue with spacious seating so that the tables are not on top of each other. The vibe is energetic with quite ellengence. Even with all of the tables occupied the restrauant was quite. Outside seating is available but it's on the west side of the building and at 6:30 p.m. when we arrived it was too hot to consider as an option. When we left the sun had lowered and it was very pleasant outside. With the help of restrauant co-owner, Alain Jeu, operating partner and sommelier, we selected a bottle of French wine. Their wine list is exclusive French and my knowledge of French wine is zero. We selected a bottle of Cote de Nutis Villages Pinot Noir. It was light, dry and smooth. We each ordered soup as a starter. I ordered the French Onion and Jan ordered the Gazpacho. Both were excellent! For mains I ordered pei muscles cooked in garlic, white wine, herbs, creme frachie, and whole grain Dijon, served with a slice of toasted sour dough bread. I enjoyed the muscles. Jan ordered the Trout Maison. It was pan seared, served on a bed of rice and toped with chervil creme sauce. It was very good. We normally don't do desert but made an exception. I ordered Paris Brest, a Choux Pastry with hazelnut pralines. It was good and I enjoyed it. It was different from anything I've ever experienced for desert. Jan ordered Peach Melba which is pouched peaches, raspberry coulis, vanilla ice cream and toasted almonds. She liked it a lot. I took a taste and its not my cup of tea. The service was excellent, the food very good, the prices moderate-high. read more

My daughter treated me to a late Mother's Day celebration at Le Parisien on Friday. The first pleasant surprise was the complimentary match boxes at the hostess podium. I was already excited. The staff was very professional & quietly kind. We were greeted by the owner while we waited in the lounge, and he apologized for our wait. LaLa served us and she was spectacular While the menu is a little pricey, I can highly recommend the crab cake. It was delicate and delicious with less breading and more crab. The sauce was divine! My daughter had the trout which she also enjoyed, again the sauce was the star of the dish. I had a kir royale and the lowest price white wine. The wine was refreshingly light. We shared a chocolate mousse for dessert. Lastly, the restaurant was recently renovated from a popular Latin American restaurant to this cozy and romantic French restaurant. OKC needed this option for adult dining! I certainly will revisit. read more

A need in Midtown! This location is a sweet spot and I love that they offer free parking! Since it was our first visit, we tried a handful of options on the menu including the tomato salad, the crab cake, French fries, and the stuffed lobster (omg yum). We were pleased with everything, the tomato salad was super refreshing and the lobster was like nothing we've tried before. The crab cake was more comparable to a meat patty but the sauce that it came in was superb. The mocktail I tried was yummy but very sweet. Ambiance and service were GREAT! Our waiter made awesome recommendations and was very attentive to our needs. I'm giving my experience a 4-star due to the AC not being functional and no one addressing it. It was sticky and hot in there and the waiters were sweaty, obviously working hard in the heat. Despite this, I'll be happy to go back. read more

Sweet French restaurant in a great part of town. We tried to make a reservation ahead of time via Resy, but it wouldn't confirm my reservation, however I saw that there were openings and they were gladly able to accommodate us. We had the sweetest server who worked with us and was very polite through the whole dinner service. Below are my opinions on the dishes that we tried. -Crab cakes- sauce was good. Cake itself was slippery/different texture than I've had in a crabcake -Escargot was good. You do have to take them out of the shell yourself, but it's very easy. -Gnocchi- light and fluffy. My husband said he'd come back for it -Muscles- just ok -Fries and aioli were so good -Floating island dessert- very tasty read more

We arrived last night for our reservation (party of 7) for my birthday. Some of us drove about 1.5 hours to OKC for this specific restaurant. We get inside the front door and people walk by, and do not greet us or say anything. So, we wait. Finally, the hostess shows up. She apologizes for our wait and shows us to our table. The waitress comes by our table after we have had a minute to look at the menu. We ask about a few things on the menu and she informs us that two things are not available to us. The two menu items I desired to order for my birthday meal. She doesn't smile or act like she cares that we are even there. It was as if were annoying her. I told her it was my birthday and had been looking forward to a charcuterie board and lobster for an entree. She repeated herself and said "we are sold out". This is a Wednesday evening. I then asked her to talk to the chef for us and see what he might be able to do or offer us instead. She came back with the same answer. It makes no sense. I can throw a charcuterie board together in about 20 minutes with various things. Frankly, he should have visited our table to chat with us. We wanted him to at least try. Frankly, with the waitress' apathy and a Chef who couldn't be bothered, we got up and walked out. I have expectations of great service and excellent food. This place displayed neither of those. We will never step foot in Le Parisien again. read more

We had reservations for Wednesday evening. The restaurant seems quite popular, as it was busy during dinner service. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and seated immediately in a comfortable booth. Our server was attentive, though very serious -- perhaps leaning into the French ambiance. For dinner, my friend and I both ordered the trout maison. It was okay -- simply a piece of trout served over some rice. The sauce was a bit unusual for my taste. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly memorable either, and my friend felt the same. My husband ordered the pork chop and absolutely loved it. My friend's husband had the burger and fries, which he said were decent, though not outstanding. We also shared several starters: the crab cake, escargots, and French onion soup. My husband really enjoyed the soup (I didn't try it, as I'm not a fan of onions). The crab cake and escargots were good, but again, nothing that stood out. For dessert, we ordered the mille-feuille and the Valrhona chocolate mousse. Unfortunately, both desserts were disappointing. The chocolate mousse had a slightly gritty texture rather than being smooth and silky, and the mille-feuille just wasn't to our taste. Overall, the service was solid, the ambiance was lovely, and the food was decent -- but not particularly memorable. read more

Came on opening night, and while there were a few hiccups (some items never came out, and our food took about an hour), the overall experience was still enjoyable. The space is beautiful with a charming French-café vibe, and our server was sweet. The restaurant was loud, so it was hard to hear the conversations at times. Cocktails were well-made. I started with the French onion soup--pretty pricey and not something I'd order again. It was mostly Swiss cheese with very little broth. The French baguette with butter was unfortunately stale. I originally wanted the trout maison, but they were out and offered salmon instead, so I switched to the poulet rôti. That ended up being a great choice--the chicken was crispy and flavorful, herbal, and perfectly balanced. It would've been amazing to see duck or even crêpes on the menu. I also had a bite of my partner's burger and fries. The burger was unique and is on the sweeter side, but the fries were the real standout--the oil they use makes a huge difference. Again, despite the mishaps, I still enjoyed dinner and would definitely come back. read more

Love the vibe of this place! I've been twice during happy hour in the bar area and it's a great deal! The food is also really good and I love the location in midtown. Recommend the gnocchi! read more

10/10. This place is incredible. I felt like I was back in France. The escargot-delicious. The baguette-perfection. The butter! So freaking good. We had the pork chop and steak frites with the most amazing garlic aioli. My only complaint is there is not Crème Brûlée for dessert! I cannot wait to go back. Thank you for bringing this place to OKC. read more

Expected more. Presentation was very disappointing. Flavor was average. Service was good however. Ambiance was just average - pretty empty inside. Overall over priced and wont be back. read more

Started off with the Kir Royale cocktail, which was great and refreshing. My table got the baguette and bread and the escargot for our appetizers. The escargot was very flavorful and buttery. My entree was the moules frites. There were so many mussels in the pot and the broth was nice. I had one mussel that did not taste right at all. The fries that came with it were soggy. I wish they would've served a baguette instead of the piece of bread with the mussels because that bread just got soggy when I tried to dip into the broth. Service was warm and welcoming. I got a dirty martini to end the night and it was great!! Ambiance was a 10/10! read more

Service & Atmosphere Le Parisien delivers a polished, high-aesthetic bistro atmosphere that feels both classic and contemporary--equally suited for date nights, business dinners, or celebratory gatherings. It's stylish without being stiff, energetic without being chaotic, pairing a lively dining room with attentive, warm service that elevates the experience beyond casual neighborhood fare. Service is above average and attentive. Water refreshed, napkins replaced promptly, and hospitality consistently warm. Escargot - Garlic herb butter, Harvey's Bakery Baguette ($20) The escargot was absolutely delightful. The right notes of butter, garlic, and herbs gave way to soft, succulent snails, finished with a subtle, surprising hint of nutmeg on the back end--an unmistakable nod to classic French technique. Harvey's baguette proved the perfect vessel for soaking up every last drop of butter. The opening course confidently set the tone for what was to follow. Crab & Leeks - The crab cake, bound with shrimp mousseline, reads more like a French galette than a traditional American cake. A well-caramelized top heightens the natural sweetness of both crab and shrimp, providing contrast to the soft, custard-like interior. The sherry vinaigrette is abundant, and its base seems to be crème fraîche which brings a pronounced sour edge; when used sparingly, the acidity rounds out the bite, but in excess it can easily overpower the delicate shellfish. French Onion Soup - caramelized onion, country toast, comté gratiné ($19) The French onion soup is crowned with a generous, bubbling layer of rich, nutty Comté. The broth was delicate yet familiar, carrying deep onion and stock flavor without becoming heavy. Chunks of bread, both soft and slightly firm, soaked up the savory liquid beautifully. It is a thoughtful, well-executed take on a French classic. Gnocchi à la Parisienne - chablisienne sauce, oyster mushroom, parmesan ($24) The French gnocchi elevated the evening to borderline transcendent, quite possibly the best gnocchi dish I have had in two years. The reduction of Chablis, butter, and cream moves across the palate with precision, giving way to deeply savory mushrooms and a surprising, perfectly judged note of tarragon on the finish. It is absolute perfection on a spoon. The gnocchi themselves resemble small pearls of pommes dauphine heaven, offering a delicate, almost caviar-like pop with each bite. Rich, decadent, and devilishly delicious, this is the kind of dish that defines a kitchen's capability. Canard à l'Orange - brioche brown butter, roots purée, frisée ($32) The final entrée was Canard à l'orange, described to me as cooked confit. It arrived topped with a large heap of greens dressed in vinaigrette, resting over the duck and finished with a notably sweet orange sauce. The combination of the tangy greens and the sweetness of the sauce created a dominant, lingering note at the back of the throat. The duck itself was tough and chewy, with the knife struggling to cut through the thigh. The root purée, was silky and beautifully balanced. Bread Pudding -- Apples, Spice, Ice Cream ($13 + $3 Ice Cream) Bread pudding was a surprising choice, especially with soufflé and mousse on the menu. Given its English origins, it felt out of place in a restaurant positioning itself around classic French tradition.The top featured nicely caramelized edges, giving way to soft, custard-soaked bread in the center. Notes of apple and cinnamon carried through each bite, with buttery caramel drizzled over the top. The ice cream was somewhat bland, though it did contribute added richness and a welcome temperature contrast that rounded out the dish. It was an average bread pudding. Mille-Feuille -- Puff Pastry & Crème Pâtissière ($13) The mille-feuille was classically structured, with a satisfying crunch from the puff pastry and a very thick layer of pastry cream in the center. The top was brûléed and partially dusted with powdered sugar. It is an average, take on a French staple. read more

Food, Service, and Ambiance all good. We went for happy hour (Tuesday-Friday 4-6pm). We ordered everything on the happy hour menu except the fries. They have $6 wines and cocktails along with $5 beers. We also ordered the beet salad, gnocchi, and the porkchop. Would recommend!!! read more

Stunned is an understatement. Our experience here was wonderful! We started with the leeks, a great light option and full of delicious vinaigrette flavor. I had the salmon(they were out of trout) and my boyfriend had the steak. Both were superb. My boyfriend said his steak was the best he EVER had. I don't eat red meat so I'll take his word for it! Service was fast and attentive. The atmosphere was my favorite part of the restaurant. There are outside tables fully equipped with ash trays, of course. I see is a French home vibe and I absolutely loved the music, made the atmosphere fun and uplifting. Very impressed and will definitely be back! read more

She gave wonderful recommendations that ended up giving us a meal to die for!

Now, I've been out to eat A LOT but when I tell you this was top 3 meals in my lifetime I mean it. We had a reservation for 6 and traffic was tee getting up to the city so I called and the owner of the restaurant answered the phone telling us to take our time. We got there at 6:02 and were seated in the bar area. A cute booth for two with a cozy intimate date night vibe. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and it doesn't feel like you are in Oklahoma City. Our waiter was also one of the bartenders and he did a wonderful job taking care of us. We started with the escargot and just wow. The butter, the favor, the side hot baguette was just perfect. We then got our mains (the French dip is a bar exclusive so I don't think you can get it in the dining room). We tried the French dip first and O MY GOD it was amazing literally just melts in your mouth. I wanted to try the crab cake because I have heard mixed reviews. As a Maryland girl, I know what a good crab cake tastes like. Now this crab cake is very different from the ones I am used to but I don't care because it was AMAZING the flavor and the brown butter was perfection. I am three cosmopolitans in at this point so I told our waiter to bring over his favorite dessert and I was a hazelnut pastry and it was so light and clean after a heavy meal. I will also will note the owner talked with us for a while educating us about himself and the food prepared which was honestly so special. Le Parisien has become my favorite restaurant in all of Oklahoma and it's not even close and we will 1000% be back!! read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. Food: Not only is this place NAILING the French cuisine and flavor profile, it's also putting brilliant french-spins on feel good classics. If the hamburger was invented in Paris it would taste like this. But, trust the process and order the omelet for the table, it'll expand your sense of reality. love. Service: The owner is legit Parisian. Fees like you're being transported to some kinda chill hot spot in Paris. they nailed it. Staff is super cool and respectful. I was there first night and it was SLAMMED. They went out of there way to keep everyone happy, even though some things were delayed Ambiance: It's a whole vibe. I came with friends, but i'd be a champ if i came back with a date. read more

A few items were good. Otherwise terrible presentation. Most food was subpar for the price. Charcuterie had less food than a lunchable. Apparently the restaurant closes at 10 bc we were asked to leave at 10:08. We frequent new restaurants and more "upscale" restaurants in the metro and this experience was the worst yet. read more

I could not hear a thing. No one at our table could. The food was overpriced for how it tasted. The French onion should be the best I've ever had for marketing as a French restaurant and La baguette definitely has a better one. Service was slow as well read more

If you have food sensitivities - stay away from this restaurant. The chef had no interest in making any modifications to entrees to make them dairy free (leaving cream or cheese on the side should not be that hard) and even when I told them I was gluten free and very sensitive, my meal had a large piece of bread laying over the entire bowl. So disappointing. read more

I got to try out this great new location this weekend, and I'm so excited to continue visiting here. The ambience of the entire restaurant is very welcoming and a total breath of fresh air for this area. I tried several dishes, including the leeks, which I will absolutely be ordering every single time I go back! I did not get a picture of the rice pudding I had for dessert because it was so delicious I completely forgot, but it was the perfect mix of texture and flavor. The staff here are very friendly and more than happy to recommend a wine pairing for your dish. read more

Delicious. Started meal with French onion soup. Very nice with a major helping of Gruyère cheese. And a heirloom tomato salad. Also we ordered the bread a delicious crispy baguette, with butter. For our entree we had the special Dover sole flown in from Holland. My wife and I shared this,This I must say could be the best thing I have ever eaten. The almonds were perfectly toasted in butter.

Really good atmosphere, friendly staff. Food was very poor. Extremely expensive for such poor food quality.

Escargot and chocolate mousse were fabulous, and I quite enjoyed my espresso martini. However there was a large piece of plastic in our steak frites, and when one of the managers (I assume he was a manager, he was a Frenchman in a suit and glasses) came over to ask how our food was, we explained how we found a piece of hard plastic the size of a quarter in our food. He apologized, took the plastic back to the kitchen, but we never saw him again, no explanation or compensation. Food wasn't bad but overall disappointing. read more

The Maître D' commented on how I was becoming a regular. I figured that means I should do my due diligence by writing a review. The food has been opulent and buttery as I would only hope for French food. Otherwise, I have a bone to pick with Julia Childs. In the drink category, I have had three mixed drinks. The sage mixed drink was fresh and light, the French 75 was a classic that you couldn't mess up on, and a sweet drink called something Royal (which was too sherry/port like for my taste). In the food category, I have had the leek salad with a light vinaigrette, the beef tartare twice, the trout maison twice, the crème brûlée, and the rice pudding. I would sing the praises of all of it! The leeks in particular bc it was unexpectedly light and well-balanced. Aside from the drinks and food, the staff are very experienced and the ambiance is romantic!!! They have the patio open for warm days like this Christmas week (2025). I would highly recommend Le Parisien if you are around Midtown. I am not affiliated with them, but the Maître D' seriously makes me want to learn how to speak French... read more

Absolutely amazing addition to the OKC restaurant scene in a prime location. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was back in Paris--the ambiance is warm, charming, and beautifully done. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the entire experience felt thoughtful and elevated. The food and drinks were outstanding. We ordered the steak frites and the trout, and both were equally to die for-perfectly cooked, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Even the cocktails were memorable. This is the kind of place that makes you slow down and truly enjoy your meal. I can't wait to go back-I've been thinking about this restaurant ever since. Such a special spot, and one I'll be recommending to everyone. read more

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Gnochi was delicious, Mussels very good, Beet Salad very good. The Trout was disappointing for the cost - "just okay", served with white rice - not enough sauce with it. Would like to try some other entrees, and hope this new restaurant survives and does well. It was so Loud inside, hope that can be remedied. Easy parking. read more

First, know even though Le Parisien is addressed off of NW 11 St, their entrance is on the West side of the building, on Walker Ave. Second, we were greeted warmly and taken to our table almost immediately. Third, where we were seated and due to the time of year and the time of day, 4:00 p.m., we were sat at a table that had sunlight shining through their beautiful windows right in my face, despite the fact there were many tables where we could have been sat and the sun would not have been a problem. Fourth, our waiter and servers were all very nice, helpful and took good care of us. Our waiter also helped us pick out a very nice bottle of red wine. Fifth, our food was overall very tasty. We had their French Onion Soup, a soup that should not be shared, but we did and despite how messy we were at it, the soup was very good. The escargot swimming in a garlic herbed butter with a lovely crusty bread was just perfect. My gnocchi was soft and luscious with a beautifully browned crust on one side. I'm not salt sensitive at all and actually love salt, but although the flavor was excellent, my gnocchi was quite salty. My Better-half enjoyed his Trout Maison, but again it was a little over the top on salt. We shared their Chocolate Mousse; it had a luxurious, smooth texture and was a lovely way to end our meal. We'll definitely return on one of our next trips downtown. read more
