    weird exterior
    Valerie J.

    I'm not sure I would go back here - only b/c there are SO Many excellent restaus in Paris - but this was the last night of our honeymoon, and my honey had yet to see the Eiffel tower sparkle! So it worked out well, even if we had to get 10 pm reservations. They were preparing our 'special table' when we arrived, and led us out into the chilly night onto a terrace with a great view of the tower. Theron, my now-husband, took loads of photos and then, finally, the sparkling began!! He just smiled and said, "you knew didn't you?" Of course I did! :) Then we were taken to a seat far back in the corner from which you could see the tower sparkle. Below us crazy-bright barges or dinner boats made their way down the Seine. We started with a glass of champagne each, which were swiftly taken away as the waiter had the 'cheif sommelier' taste it and it wasn't fresh enough - so a new bottle was opened for us. Cool! What I found truly hilarious was that the menu given to me was without prices, while my husband was handed a menu w/all the prices. Really? why thank you! ;D We decided after much deliberation on the tasting menu. Why not right? The service was really great. The sommelier was confused when I wanted a bottle of white and a bottle of red to accompany our three hour tasting menu. I merely said, "we aren't French." (as those Frenchies can make a glass of wine last all night!) The amuse of salmon, grapefuit, and cream was just ok - My hubby liked it more than I did. I didn't find it particularly inspired. I did however enjoy the crab with veggies. Was it my fave crab app ever? No, but it was very good, and delightful after eating so much heavy meat in Europe. Theron loved the foie gras - even more than normal! So this course was a win win :) Our favorite course by far followed next - cream of lentil soup with porcini mushrooms- it was also fun because you had a stick and slid the mushrooms into the soup. Yummers. After this came the filet of seabass. It was cooked perfectly so I have no complaints about it. It's just that a couple exquisite, inventive restaurants have shaped sea bass as a fish of the gods :) Next up was a choice of scallops or veal. The scallop was good, but the veal was really great. The deserts were lovely but I was stuffed. However, the post dessert of madeleines was awesome :) The red wine was from the Languedoc region - where the twin brothers who helm the kitchen hail from. And was quite good to be true. Bon apetit!

    This had elements of very good but had enough wrong with it that I couldn't go above 3 stars. First of all, the view where we were sitting had a view of the Eiffel Tower, if you looked through the slatted fence just so. The food was beautiful but the field was overcooked and over salted, which is really unforgivable. My girlfriend had a better meal, the prawns were divine but the rest was only ok. The service was very good and it was pleasant enough but for the money, I wouldn't go back.

    I enjoyed the lunch here on the terrace with good views of the Eiffel Tower. Food: They have an excellently priced pre fixe menu for lunch. I had the Bass Tartare to start. Never had this before and it was so good. The first was fresh and light. The Goat Cheese and Artichoke is also a nice option. For my main, I had the White Fish Steak which was great. The Beef filet was the real winner and a great option if you want something hearty. The desserts were really good. Peaches dessert came out first (compliments of the chef). I had the strawberries, strawberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream, which was nice and light. We also tried the Chocolate Soufflé with caramel ice cream, WOW!!! So good. The entire experience was much better than I expected. We will definitely return on future trips to Paris.

    A perfect after party place, appealing crowd, fabulous staff. It lacks nothing, an elevator ride to heaven of Paris

    It's a nice emplacement with nice views. I went 23th of april 2015 to have "menú dejéuneer" (lunch menu). Totally was about 144e including a bottle of water and two glasses of rosé (the menu does not include the desserts and the drinks). I love the restaurant has a "somelier" only for the cave. Althought I'm spanish, there's one really friendly attendant who speak really good spanish. In my point of view, Maison Blanche looks more like a place to have business dates and when I went with my couple both of us where the youngest people! (We are 27 years old). Anyway, Juliette in the reception makes It already perfect and It's a place I consider you must be if you go to Paris.

    "La Maison Blanche" is a trendy restaurant and provides gorgeous view of the Eiffel tower by the terrasse. We ordered the 6-course tasting menu: 1) Filet de rouget barbet servi tiède, Carpaccio d'artichauts et vinaigrette de citron doux [Rouget fish filet served at room temperature with artistrokes] 2) Gambas laquées de mangue, Fenouils en fins copeaux et son rougail [Scampi with mango] 3) Escalope de foie gras de canard poêlée, Compotée de pamplemousse et kumquats au muscat [pan seared foie gras with grapefruit and kumquats] 4) Bar sauvage, Fricassée de courgettes et févettes, coulis d'artichaut à la grenobloise [Wild seabass] 5) Filet d'agneau en croûte à l'épine vinette, Carottes des sables à l'orange [Lamb filet] 6) Biscuit chaud au chocolat " Araguani ", Crème fouettée à l'amande amère, glace à la vanille Bourbon [molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, sour whipped cream] Highlights were the wild seabass and the chocolate cake. Make sure to check out the view of the sparkling Eiffel Tower every hour on the hour.

    Most tables have a view of the window thanks to the elevated balcony area. They have an area where you can see the Eiffel Tower, but I believe that it looks better in the day. For the night time, sit near the large window! There is a coatroom with a very nice attendant. She takes your coat. The service is free, but you can tip! Service was great at the restaurant. Our main server was Joseph. Ask for him! He was extremely helpful and attentive. He was the best server I have met in Europe, and he is comparable to waiters at high end waiters in New York. My boyfriend and I ordered the 6 course degustation (tasting) menu for €110 each. There is a 7 course one for €145 each, but the only difference is the steak. If you get the 6 course, you can choose to have that steak instead of a fish. It's not worth it to get the 7 course because the steak was the highlight of our meal. The pumpkin soup was the best we have ever tasted in Paris. It is a very popular French dish, but we loved how creamy the soup was and how delicious the mushrooms inside were. The shrimp was delicious. We are still unsure what the green sauce was, but it complemented it perfectly. I ordered the lobster, and it was prepared perfectly. The beansprout salad on the side complemented the lobster as well. My boyfriend enjoyed his foie gras. It did not taste fatty at all! Regarding the main course, I liked the fish much more than the steak. Coming from New York, I have had better steaks. However, the fish was prepared deliciously. For desserts, I ordered the fig dessert, and my boyfriend ordered the chocolate mousse dessert. The chocolate mousse was not too special, but it was very yummy. The fig dessert was beautifully prepared. It was the most interesting way I have ever had figs, and it was delicious. They also give you two shot glasses of raspberry jelly with whipped creme. These are a must try. I think this was the best dessert overall. Highly recommended for the food and service. Joseph was a great waiter!

    Mostly good dining. Take a long time for service. Had to ask for dessert and check 3 times because it was late for us. Good cocktails. Amazing view.

    Beautiful restaurant to have lunch that offers amazing views of Paris. The prefix lunch menu offers several different options. The staff are very hospitable.

    I enjoyed the menu dégustation on April 28th. Every course and the wine combination as a result of discussions with the sommelier were unbelievable. I have a gluten allergy, and tweaks were made by the chef to accommodate me. The staff was so careful, attentive, and the service was impeccable. And then the icing on the cake was the view and twinkling Eiffel Tower on the hour. What a night! I will be dreaming of this spot for years to come.

    Food was pretty good, seemed a little overpriced and touristy to me though. Good view IF the outside is open.

    The most life- changing experience with French cuisine. This is what French culinary dreams are…read moremade of. Get the appetizer grilled foie gras with side of greens, you won't regret it. The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

    This place was a huge letdown. They had a cute little artisanal market on the front left of the…read morerestaurant. They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.
