Really excellent family owned restaurant off a scenic swimming, kayaking, and beach area. The…read moreservice was amazing and the food was very well prepared. My family and I love going here. My family are locals as well and they go here often. I can see why because I really enjoyed the chicken, steak, and fois gras. I liked the cafe viennois at the end of the meal.

The only reason it's not more widely known is that the neighborhood is off the trendy radar. Even Le Fooding missed it, no matter that the cooking here is exactly the sort of 'urban aubergiste' cuisine they love. We discovered it accidentally on a weekend evening, just looking at the menu outside, and the half-full, but inviting dining room through the window. Martin (the owner) is committed to simple, but "high" cooking, reasonable prices and friendly service. A true gem for residents and tourists alike.

We ordered a fish gratin -- warm, creamy, and beautifully done -- along with an excellent rosé that paired perfectly with the dish. What really made the evening special was the kindness of the staff. We tried using our limited French, and they responded with warm smiles and flawless English when we needed help. It made us feel welcome and at ease. A genuine neighborhood spot with good food, good wine, and genuinely good people. We'd happily return.

Stopped in for dinner a few nights ago after the host persuaded us to go in. The service was the…read morequickest I've ever seen. We were seated immediately, ordered within a few minutes, had our food and drinks within 8 minutes, and were checked on multiple times by our waiter. The restaurant is cute with a chic red vibe inside and out. The lighting is darker and there's TVs inside as well. The food was amazing!!! It was moderately priced, average for the restaurants in the area. The fries were the best I've ever had. I got the chicken supreme and it was cooked perfectly, and I loved the sweet and sour sauce on the side. My mom got the beef entree, while there wasn't a lot of beef provided it was cooked and seasoned well. Very tasty food! Overall: loved the service and the food, interior is also very trendy. Would come back, makes for a nice dining experience in Paris.

Our food was great, the drinks were spot-on, and service (a 5-foot something Asian gentleman) just outstanding.  We'll be back to La Ruche next time we're in Paris for sure.

By far my favorite restaurant in Paris - one of Paris' best-kept secrets. It's a small restaurant…read moreand reservations are a must! It's a French-Brazilian-Asian fusion, and every dish is just exquisite and bursting with a multitude of flavors. The menu is small - usually 3 options per entree, plat, et dessert. If you can, going for lunch is the best deal - 15 euros for main course + starter/dessert, or 20 euros for all three. The restaurant is currently only open each noon on weekdays, and Thursday + Friday nights. Once a month, they have a Brazilian dinner for 35 euros! Worth checking out :)

This place is amazing. It's the best meal we had in Paris and the cheapest meal we had in Paris…read more The service is warm and inviting. Tempero actually had real French people eating there. It seems a lot of places that are rated well only have foreigners. My wife and I had the pork confit and cod which was delicious. They're plates are very playful with complex flavors. I wouldn't say all of the flavors work together perfectly but it'll never bore you and will always be delicious. Their mango panna cotta was amazing. I don't usually like it but it blew our minds. If we were here longer we'd eat that again and definitely come back here.

A meal in an organic wine store: why not?…read more We could have guessed, by thinking about the name of the restaurant a little harder, that a restaurant wouldn't naturally name itself 'wine store'. But since we didn't, it was a very fun surprise to arrive in the 9th arrondissement, and enter into a charming wine store with a big table in the middle of it for people to sit at for dinner. I think about 80% of the wines in the store are organic and it was also fun that people would come in during our meal, by wine, and quietly exit. This neighbourhood gem has a Japanese chef, paired with the most charming older gentlemen as a host, who also happened to be training up his young grandson that night to serve us. It was a very charming atmosphere and food to match. S has a tuna tataki to start with. I had the most perfect house-made foie gras imaginable. For a main, S had entrecote, a steak. A little fatty but tasty. My scallops in a sort of brick shape was tasty. The desserts were really delicious... I had île flottantes. I love this dessert. A delicate barely cooked egg white mixture floating in a sea of vanilla cream. But I've never had 4 little islands in one dish. S's matcha crème brulée was not as pretty, but pretty marvelous. Ah, and as expected, we were recommended the most delicious bottle of pinot noir with a medium weight to match both steak and seafood. I have to admit to jealousy though. The table of four Brits sitting next to us ordered a prime rib roast. When the chef brought it out to show them before it was cut, I gasped. My god, it looked delicious, although as the French like it, it came out very rare. Still, I'd love to go back with more people just for that one dish. Drool.
