Unfortunately, Chez Denise was not the place I expected it to be. Here, they like to give…read morehorrendously large portions of food, which might have been okay only if we were allowed to choose how many entrees we could get. The waiter rudely forced us to get 3 entrees, one for each person, even though a person in our party only wanted soup. The food on the other hand was heavy, the flavors were unbalanced, and the dishes were either too fatty or drenched in heavy sauce. I know that French food is generally a bit heavier compared to other cuisines, but this restaurant was way too heavy and fatty compared to many other authentic restaurants I had tried in France. The ambiance was also very crowded and lacked air circulation. And if you bring any bags, they will force you to put it behind a wall where it is out of view. I appreciate and enjoy quality French food, and out of all the French meals I've had here, this is by far the worst. So, if you want heavy, fatty food in a crowded uncomfortable space without any view of your bags, then Chez Denise may be the place for you.

Wish I can give this 1000 stars!!!! Best Resturant I've eaten in all of Paris and i have been here…read more7 days with the sole purpose of EATING! The ambience of this restaurant is very much like a mom and pop owned restaurant, it feels cozy uncomfortable. Services quick! The recommendations made were fantastic! We had the cut of veal, which was like a giant tomahawk size! And then we also had the duck confit which came with two duck thighs/leg quarters! Super generous portions!

This place was decent. Fois gras and meat fondue were excellent. Mussels seemed a bit fishy.read more

I initially wanted to have dinner at restaurant "54 Tour Eiffel" located on the first floor in the Eiffel Tower but it was booked for the next 3 months. On the way back from the Eiffel Tower & museums, we passed by the lovely marina which was offering lunch & dinner cruises. It was too late to have lunch so we chose the dinner option. It was a perfect way to spend a birthday. The food was delicious, the champagne was lovely, the price was reasonable, and the views were just spectacular... I had THEE best day in Paris, France!

On our first night in Paris we wanted a basic introduction to the area. The night cruise was the…read moreticket. For $80 U.S. per person we had a nice 3 course dinner with a sampler plate of four apps an entree my wife had the salmon and enjoyed it. I got the chicken but found it a little bland. For dessert they had a three sampler plate. My wife is allergic to almonds and when I requested the almonds covered biscuits not be on the plate the waiter no longer spoke English. We also told them on reservation it was our 25th wedding anniversary and nothing extra was presented that night. There was 3 birthdays celebrated. A little extra effort would have gotten the fourth star. Dinner also included a glass of champagne and wine for each of us. We also added a nice bottle of white wine for $28 euro. View of Paris at night made it all worth it : )

In part because this place is so good and so busy, and at least on the day we went, there was only one waitress. Despite the language barrier, she was very kind about offering what help she could (showing us various entrees and plates as they came from the kitchen). Everything here was flavorful, hot, and flat out awesome. We got the prix fix menu items (the menu on the chalkboard) which included a Nordic plate (cold fish, seasoned very well, and cold potatoes), followed by pork filet mignon, which was hot, cooked to perfection and flavorful. We ordered a pea soup off the menu (a la carte) which was a large portion, hot, served with a small pot of sour cream. Everyone in our party raved about the creme brûlée which had a nice sugar crust and an awesome texture. My dad, who is a world traveler declared it the best he's had. Remember, lunch is a big meal for the French, it is paced more like a dinner in the US, so if you are looking for a quick lunch go to a deli or coffee shop. Also, when we were there (Dec) the restaurant closed at 1500 and was only available for lunch. Check the times and dates of closure when you're planning your meals.

Highly Recommended My wife, 11 month old son and…read moremother-in-law had just arrived in Paris on holidays from Australia via the UK and were staying just around the corner from Gedoub. Looking for somewhere close and not too expensive to eat we ventured into Gedoub. We were fairly early and the place was empty but inviting and warm with the open log fire and nice aromas coming from the kitchen. Our hostess (I'm sorry I've forgotten her name) welcomed us in and showed us to our table next to the window, dismissing the fact that I had just knocked over her bicycle trying to manoeuvre the stroller through the door. We chose a beer, the house pinot and a localish chardonnay after tasting several. We all ordered the lamb seasoned with fresh herbs and garlic served with beans and potatoes which arrived after the complimentary vegetable soup. Both of which were delicious, hearty and filling. The pinot was one of the nicest both my wife (a very fussy wine drinker !) and I have tasted in a while as we had several glasses each, not all of which we were charged for. All in all, I can highly recommend this establishment. It was nearly like eating in someone's home such was the warmth of the hospitality. Unfortunately we did not get another chance to dine at Gedoub again but when we were leaving, we were walking past and our hostess rushed out to say goodbye and wished us a safe journey. When I'm next in Paris, Gedoub will be top of my list to visit again.
