    Wasabi ice cream
    Jesus S.

    Such a cool place. They mesh Japanese and French cuisine in creative ways. We were there for lunch and had the three course menu. I had the lobster appetizer, the ibérico pork, and the wasabi ice cream. The lobster may have been my favorite lobster ever. Tender, juicy, citrusy, buttery... just delicious. The pork was good, but not great. The sweet sauce was amazing. They crisped the skin, but not enough for me. The meat was a bit tough. The wasabi ice cream was absolutely fantastic. You could definitely feel the wasabi. Not a huge fan of wasabi, but then combine the flavor with white chocolate in ice cream... well, just fantastic. A spicy ice cream, but not long lasting (wasabi). Such a surprise to me. Very very cool... the chef walked around to greet guests after dinner. A very nice touch. The price was fair, for a high quality meal in my opinion.

    I dined at Ze Kitchen Galerie while on a solo trip in France. I was super excited to experience a one star Michelin star restaurant in Paris and was surprised the lunch set was only €41. The meal began with a Thai broth which tasted heavily like coconut milk and not much else. Then I ordered the appetizer of the day, which was this oyster and caviar dish. The oysters were wrapped in some vegetable that I didn't quite catch. I felt like the flavors weren't very powerful and overall it was extremely underwhelming. Then came the fish of the day. It was half raw, half cooked, making the fish suuuuper unpleasant to eat. The raw bits were chewy and slightly crunchy, and the flavors were Thai again so it felt kind of repetitive. It was so upsetting because I was really looking forward to this meal and I couldn't even eat another bite of my entree. The waiter eventually asked if everything was okay since I wasn't eating and I let him know I was finished. He then came back and insisted that the chef wanted to make me something else which was incredibly kind. They sent me their scallops which were really good. The saving grace to me was the staff but the food was not good enough for their one star distinction. I wouldn't recommend visiting.

    One of the best dinners during our 2 weeks in France. The reservation process was a bit involved, but completely worth the extra steps for a unique and memorable experience. I made our reservation online before our trip and immediately received an email that my request was received. Confirmation of the reservation came the following day by email. On the morning of our dinner I received another email to either call the restaurant directly or confirm with another email before 4 pm that day to guarantee our table. I sent the email but also had our hotel concierge call to confirm. That afternoon the restaurant called me directly to finalize our reservation (yay!) I unfortunately did not take a photo of the menu, but the option for dinner is either a 6 or 8 course prix-fixe tasting menu. Descriptions of several dishes are provided on the menu, but our server explained that this was only a sample of what could be served. Our server did ask if anyone in our party had food allergies or vegetarian preferences. I took photos of each dish except for the amuse-bouche which was a pork croquette accompanied by a shot of a beet juice concoction that whet the appetite for what was to come. All the dishes were artfully plated and delicious with inventive flavors and textures. The cuisine is described as French-Asian fusion but the Asian influence is subtle. We loved the traditional French dishes we had during our trip, but I have to admit the modern take on French cuisine was most welcome toward the end of our stay in France! Service was excellent and non-obtrusive. All the servers speak English. The restaurant is off a small side street on the left bank by the Seine. This was an amazing experience and one that I hope we can revisit the next time we visit Paris!

    Went again in December - loved the meal and was surprised at how different the dishes were. My pics and the descriptions should more than cover why this place has a Michelin star and why I keep coming back.

    Don't believe this is anything less than 5 stars! We went for lunch and what an amazing experience. We decided to do the 5 course menu and they were able to do no meat for me (seafood only) and a mix for my husband. The dishes are amazing- it's French and it's Asian (very Thai inspired) and all around delicious. The cod dish and wasabi ice cream were my favorite! They have a very nice wine menu and will help you make by the glass recommendations so you can try a little bit of everything. We even had a sake with dessert! The service is very nice, and I would highly recommend!! Lunch took us about 2 hours so it's a nice spaced out meal but still gives you plenty of time to explore the city. Go here!!

    This is a budget-friendly Michelin Star Asian French fusion restaurant. I really enjoyed their unique creations with classic Asian dishes. This 8 course meal was about 100 euros per person for dinner which is a great deal. The service as expected was outstanding and I really enjoyed every dish! I highly recommend you book at least two months in advance so you can lock in a reservation.

    Had a good dinner in this one Michelin Star restaurant. We went with the tasting menu which was budget friendly for a Michelin Star restaurant. Would recommend booking a week or two in advance to avoid disappointment. Everything was great so I won't go into details. My favorite dish would be the shrimp with tomatoes sauce and the blue lobster. For the dessert I wasn't a fan of the ginger ice cream thought the ginger taste was too strong. Overall a good place to spend an evening with a loved one.

    Excellent food incorporating local & seasonal ingredients to its ever revolving menu. The place billed itself as modern French and it fully lived up to its name. All the creations were substantial & made sense - none of the pretentious modern creations hiding behind high concept or heavy sauces. Trust yourself to the assured hands of the chef/crew & the mission of the restaurant & simply go with the tasting menu. You will be glad you did. My friend & I enjoyed the evening's dinner comprising of the most delicate fish, succulent pork, seafood plate with prawns & the most delectable of dessert capped off with cappuccino. The kitchen staff operated and prepared the food behind glass enclosure which you can view as they ran from station to station. Fun to watch. There was no outdoor seating. The seating was intimate - tables were small & close to each other - typical of most Paris restaurants. The dining room felt a little closed in even though there were some large windows to the street. The host for our table was perfect - he really knew all the dishes, explained them to us in detail and recommended an excellent wine. We did feel bad about one of the servers. He had a really hoarse voice, coughed consistently with sniffles and he tried to explain the dishes in detail even when we dropped hints he didn't need to. He was not wearing a mask either. He was replaced after two dishes at our table but we did see he was still assigned to other tables throughout the evening. It was a bit awkward. We didn't want to bring it up with management in case it impacted his employment. Management should have been more self-aware & took precautions to make sure the server was healthy & minimize the exposure to the diners.

    Starter of veggie broth- amazing! And eel

    Best tasting menu I've ever had! Friendly staff and kitchen. Fun atmosphere. Lovely but relaxing. The food is amazing! Don't skip this when I'm Paris!

    Our tasting menu on 5/9/17.

    We came here with 4 adults and 3 children (4 and under, crazy right?) to a Michelin Star restaurant hoping they would not kick us out. However, the staff was very nice and attentive for what you would expect at a Michelin star restaurant. The adults had the chef tasting menu (up to 8 items) for 98€ per person, not bad relative to other restaurants in the US. The food is delicious and the best compare to the 9 day eating extravaganza we had on this trip so far. Each plate is carefully crafted, thoughtful and great contrast of flavors that blend together beautifully. Every dish is eye candy worthy of magazine cover so much that you don't want to mess it up with your fork. Each dish appears to have one Asian ingredient making it very interesting for your palate. See the photos I posted for each dishes.

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.

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.

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier.

The Chickpea Fries and Warm Goat Cheese were nice starters, and I liked the bread basket that was given freely - especially the inclusion of a walnut raisin bread.

Simple classic French cuisine. We shared the mini raviolis stuffed with mushroom and a foie gras sauce. Wow. And shared their famous beef bourguignon. The tender beef, the sauce! I love the way they plate it too. Delicious. And a bottle of Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil (Loire Valley). The second visit (3 star) was very different from the first visit. Less friendly, borderline rude, took a long while for table service even though it was not busy, rolled their eyes about us sharing and at our wine bottle selection. We didn't feel welcomed. Food remains good, but not outstanding. Roll of the dice on service. I'd say if you're in the area and you don't have to wait it'd be worthwhile, otherwise seek a less touristy spot.
