    The prix-fixe menu here is great! Each bite was wonderful. A lot of Asian flavors are used here, including ones with soy sauce or gojujang. It was fun to experience Asian-French flavors. The progression of the courses were generally good, going from light to heavier courses. For both the pre-dessert and dessert, ice creams were served, which is a little odd to me. I would have expected something different (maybe a cake?) would be served for one of them. Having said that though, both ice creams were enjoyable. The restaurant is also very accommodating for allergies and dietary restrictions. The table next to me did not eat gluten, meat, seafood, and soy...basically, they can drink water...and the staff somehow accommodated them!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Our tasting menu on 5/9/17.

Luca was my server and he was very welcoming in hospitable to this weary traveler. I sat on the patio towards the end of the row so I could take in the atmosphere and people watch a bit. Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

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 SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering.

We headed to Chez Janou, a Paris institution. I hadn't been in years, but my son insisted we go back because, according to him, they have the best chocolate mousse in Paris. Judging by the lineup, half the city; and every tourist with an Instagram account showed up. Thankfully we had a 2pm reso. Here's the thing, though. Everyone talks about the mousse, but the food deserves just as much attention. I'd also forgotten how much I love the 3rd arrondissement. Wander a few minutes from the restaurant and you'll find beautiful art galleries, a gorgeous little park, and some of the best boutique shopping in Paris. It's one of those neighbourhoods where you accidentally walk 15,000 steps without realizing it. Now, here's your game plan. Start with the escargots or the gambas to share. For your main, order the farci provençal or the foie de veau. The farci is like a French version of a stuffed pepper: yummy comfort food with a southern coast twist. As for the foie de veau... I actually ordered it by mistake. I thought I was getting regular veal. Out came veal liver. Best mistake of the day. I love liver. My mom makes an incredible liver and onions, so I'm a tough judge. This was outstanding. Rich, buttery, perfectly cooked and perfectly salted. It was so good I immediately texted my mom and told her she's coming here the next time she's in Paris. Drum roll, please... The chocolate mousse. Was it worth all the hype? Yep. There are no fancy swirls or little artistic desserts here. A server simply walks over carrying what looks like a white industrial-sized bowl of chocolate mousse and casually drops a mountain of it onto your plate. Everyone grabs a spoon and starts digging in. It's wonderfully French. Simple. Unpretentious. Ridiculously good. So yes, Chez Janou lives up to the hype. But don't just come for the mousse. Come for the lunch, stay for the neighbourhood, and spend the afternoon getting happily lost in one of the best corners of Paris. That's a Friday well spent.

We have gone into every place being polite and kind and were met with such hostility.

When he brought us food or drinks he nearly dropped it on the table and quickly sped off. Some other servers seemed nice to other guests, so maybe we got one on a bad day but still we felt really upset and uncomfortable with how we were treated, there is no reason for anyone in the service industry to be so rude especially when we were being so polite. You also get blocked into your seat, and are very close to other guests which is fine but you have to call the waiter to pull your table back out to get up or to go to your seat- to which they begrudgingly do so. The beef bourguignon was tasty, but we did not like how both my and my friend's order were brought in the same pot. This resulted in us having maybe 3 tiny potatoes each and not near as much meat as we hoped for. We were expecting to each have our own dish. This was certainly not worth the 36€ per person price point (nearly $80 USD for the one pot of food), and we left the restaurant still hungry and extremely upset and disappointed by the service. Overall I would not return or recommend.
