"Venus pour fêter un anniversaire, nous avons été accueillis à la perfection dans ce palace parisien. La Bauhinia est une grande salle magnifique sous une grande coupole, très agréable au coucher du soleil. La cuisine est tout simplement délicieuse, le foie gras de canard, superbement présenté, est un régal. Nous avons testé le tigre qui pleure, grand classique de la cuisine thaïlandaise, certes très très pimenté mais excellent (la cuisson était un peu trop bleu à mon goût et la sauce vinaigrée pimentée devrait être servie dans récipient dans lequel on peut faire mariner son boeuf). Servi avec un riz gluant original, léger et nuageux, surement cuit au lait. En dessert, le chef nous a préparé un gâteau surprise d'anniversaire au chocolat, un régal. Seul bémol, la ou les cartes des vins, il en existe 2 ou 3, la petite classique, celle des pauvres et l'annuaire. Nous avons eu la petite et l'annuaire mais malheureusement rien de réellement abordable, le moindre petit rouge est à 50€, addition salée en conséquence, 270€ à 2."

"It has been 2 years since I have eaten here last time. And because my business takes me to Paris every 2 years I try to eat in Le Caffe d'Angel at least twice in a week that I spend in Paris. So what is that I like here ? Well I could say that Deserts are fantastic - Especially Chocolat liegeoise, salted caramel juice and nougatine. Also the main courses and appetisers are very very good, but there is something else that attracts me here. And it is the atmosphere. It is that mix of "I do not care about anything, I will just do what I want and if somebody comes - nice, if they do not, even better" - what I am trying to say is that the floor and the tables have the very same pattern of the stone and it is the one you would see at fishmongers. So not very spectacular, well, to be honest - all BUT spectacular - but in some strange way - it does work. The tiles on the walls are super generic white tiles you might see in a public toilet - but they work there. Light and the lamps make you feel like you in a living room of a quite avant-garde family from the beginning of 60's - but again - you guessed it - it works. It looks very lean, relaxing, very much non pretentious - but still - the food is bespoke, service is fantastic and the atmosphere is really retro and relaxed. And in a strange way I kinda feel a bit at home when I am there, and no restaurant in Paris achieved that until now :) Thanks !!!"

"The Villa turned out to be an unexpected surprise. It's co-located with the Mercure hotel in Saint Cloud, and many locals frequent the establishment. It has some of the best traditional French cuisine around. Dinner isn't served until 7:30 pm, but I dined there two evenings during my trip. The maitr'de serves double duty as the only server, so it can be a bit slow when it gets busy. Set aside at least two hours for dinner and enjoy the experience. It also happens to serve the breakfast for hotel guests. It's pretty much the same every day but includes a wide variety of foods to suit many pallets and diet needs. It includes eggs (poached and scrambled), bacon, sausage, pancakes and crepes. There's an assortment of fruits, cheeses, cold cuts and three cold cereals with numerous toppings available. They also have yogurt, five or six different breads and pastries and multiple chilled juices and hot coffee. The dinner menu is limited to whatever the chef has concocted for the day. There's usually a meat and a fish and vegetable offering. The first evening I started with a salad of simple dressed greens and a piece of toasted multigrain bread topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, roasted tomatoes, thin slices of apple and tangerine. An unusual but surprisingly tasty combination. The main dish was roasted lamb served with perfectly fried pomme frittes. The lamb was a little on the tough side, but tasty and well presented. At the suggestion of the waiter, I paired the meal with a 2017 Minervois called Riussanelle. The coffee and current notes went very well with the dinner, and was so good I enjoyed it with my meal the second evening as well. That included vegetable egg rolls, roasted vegetables and a cut of lean steak that was quite tough by American standards. The dessert was a pastry with custard and a slice fig. Apparently the chef was feeling generous and creative because the waiter walked out at least two other complimentary desserts for every table that evening. Why go out for good food when it's right in front of you. I will definitely return here again."

"Un concept intéressant, une visite de Paris tout en dinant ou déjeunant.Une cuisine raffinée, un service impeccable, des serveurs à l'écoute.Le parcours dure plus de deux heures et l'on voit vraiment tous les monuments de Paris.Deux améliorations à faire d'urgence : régler la climatisation (on a eu vraiment très froid) et le système d'audio guide (innovant au demeurant) marche une fois sur deux.Malgré ces deux imperfections, à faire, le prix un peu élevé est mérité."

"A real killing!!!I discovered this restaurant by chance, I was looking for an intimate place with my closest colleagues, for a farewell dej of my work. The welcome is excellent, the tartars prepared with care and love with the best of meats, and the fruit salad in dessert, it’s simply the best fruit salad I’ve eaten from my whole life!!!! (although I have eaten fruit salads, and even in the largest restaurants). This meal brought me surprise and emotion in the mouth. The flavours, colours and smells in a warm setting make this place a very good restaurant. Just a pearl! (that I do not dare to recommend to my loved ones too much for fear of having to book months in advance so much that it is good and that everyone may want to go there). In addition report quality price just excellent!"
