This was recommended to us by our hosts at Mama Shelter Paris, and was spot on. Friendly, asked whether we preferred communicating in English or French (artfully done) although menus were cute chalkboards in French only. We sat outside on the terrasse, spoiled somewhat of course by the ubiquitous smokers, but also offering the amusement of other diners being inadvertently doused by an upstairs neighbor watering their pot plants! Sorted with good humour by the hosts.Food was inexpensive and good, although my pork was a little dry. GREAT tarte tatin, which Iâve been hanging out for!Would definitely go back, and definitely recommend to others.

This was another meal at Virtus that drenched me in sybaritic pleasure. I was fortunate enough to dine at Virtus before it earned its Michelin star. It is now better than ever and worth all accolades. We dove into the 65 Euro six course disgustation menu, a veritable bargain. Each dish brought tears of joy. Everything, I mean everything, was amazing. Two kinds of bread, an amuse bouche of six bite sized delights, a ceviche served in a scallop shell, a truffled artichoke concoction with a poached egg on top, a lovely piece of monkfish in a mushroom broth, a perfect piece of duck, a poached pear sorbet, two delectable desserts, and a finishing touch of petit fours, were all eaten with exclamations of gluttonous rapture. Service by Kevin was elegant, warm and simply perfect. Yes, he is very French, but with an incongruous American name. Virtus will charm you with its smart, comfortable and au courant space, understated but stylish. I want to go back tonight, but will show unaccustomed restraint. They probably are completely booked. Our meal, with a perfect 98 Euro bottle of Crozes-Hermitage Blanc, a Kir Royale, three vodka cocktails, two bottles of water, came to 286 Euro or 325 dollars for the two of us. What a bargain!!!Although for some, Virtus may be a journey, because it is located in the 12th Arrondissement. I don't care. Take the metro, a taxi, Kapten, Uber, horse and buggy, but get your derrière to Virtus for the meal of a lifetime. Je suis en extase!

La Fine Mousse is a unique spot for craft beer lovers and curious people. On one side a craft beer bar featuring 20 drafts that rotate frequently, on the other side 10 more drafts at an innovative restaurant dedicated to beer and food pairings. CULINARY E

While in Paris we hunted down several craft beer bars to enjoy some local brews. We liked La Fine Mousse alright- hip place, cool design, busy with young professionals. Beer selection was alright- they only had 1 IPA on top and a lot of sours. I think I would have liked this place a bit more if the beer wasn't quite so pricey and my beer was actually full, instead the bartender filled each beer and left a generous amount of head on the top. I joked with the guy about serving me a 1/2 beer, but he just laughed. There are other beer bars in the city that serve full beers with a more even selection.Hello,Thank you for taking the time to send us a review. We usually have 4 or 5 IPA on tap (from session IPA to double IPA), but the taps are changing quickly and it can happen that we have fewer.We usually have 2 or 3 sours (berlinerweiss or lambic) but lately we did a lot of events with sour breweries...that is why it happened to have more than that on tap.About the pouring, we were trained to pour it the belgium way, that is why we pour it with the foam till the top.I hope that I answered most of your questions.

We had dinner in this little but very well organized place that I discovered during a random walk in Bagnolet. The service was very efficient and fast; the lady who served our table was extremely kind and patiently explained to us all the menu and the different "formules". They propose a very interesting and original menu which mixes the typical French cuisine with very tasty African recipes. Go and check their plats du jour! Thanks you very much for this comment. We're glad that you spent a good time at La Bifurcation and we hope to see you again very soon! Best regards,

Small, dark, intimate, and incredible. Itâs almost like eating in someoneâs living room.The menu is written on a blackboard and the tables are close together but the food, service, and ambience are 5 star in every way. The owner sat with us and explained each entree. His recommendations were spot on but that could have been because everything was amazing. After dinner, he brought over a bottle of Rum to share. This place is a real hometown gem in the middle of Paris. Definitely worth the wait for a table.

My husband and I came here for dinner during a recent visit to Paris and could not have been happier with our visit.We booked a table for 8pm and were seated straight away by the really friendly waiter (didnât catch his name but was great!). Our French isnât great but this was no problem as he was happy to speak to us in English and spoke it very well.The food was superb, couldnât fault it at all. The portion sizes were good and the quality was brilliant. We had duck and salmon for mains, both perfectly cooked. For dessert we had tart tatin and panacotta, both were very good.Service was excellent throughout the meal even though the restaurant was busy. Booking is essential as the restaurant is only small but very popular, we saw people who turned up hoping to get a table who couldnât and it was only a Tuesday night! Overall our visit here was fantastic! It was a meal we will talk about for years to come and I really hope we get the chance to come back in future. Thanks for a great night! thank you for this beautiful review. It was a pleasureMy name is Nathan ^^. I hope you will come back

We chose this restaurant based on itâs great reviews and were not disappointed. Our server was friendly, professional, and her English was better than my French. Our group chose the salmon, duck, and steak entrees, and one salmon and quinoa starter. All were excellent, with generous portions . Perfectly cooked, seasoned, and presented. The desserts we shared, the pistachio crème brûlée and chocolate fondant, were also superb.The restaurant itself is beautifully appointed, in a simple and refined way, and the background music was very enjoyable. We have already recommended this place to friends.

Reviewed By KiwiSchnitzel
The reviews of this place were top so we walked across the city to be first when they open. To our surprise the place is tiny, maybe 20-30 guests, and was fully booked. I don't blame them for being booked all time, but they should communicate that better. Their website is empty. They shouldn't expect that foreign language tourists would call their French phone number. Writing this review to avoid disappointment with other keen guests.Dear Sir,I would like to clarify a few things about your comment. First of all, I just want you to understand that when you write such a review, you penalize a whole team that works hard every day to satisfy each of our customers. And you do this (2 stars) without having had a meal at our place.Secondly, you mention that you have read a lot of reviews. Lots of them tell on Trip advisor that you need to book, I can list you at least a dozen of them.If you want to book, you can either call us (we all speak English enough to make a reservation), you can also email us or book via Facebook. We do have lots of foreign people every day, and they book their table how they want. As you say, our restaurant is tiny and out of the clasical touristic path, that is why we do need to have a reservation system, especially as our specialty is fish and seafood.And to finish, we keep everyday at least one table for people coming by, maybe you arrived that day after another table coming by.It is hard for us to get such reviews that do penalize the whole restaurant when we did not make mistakes, only the fact that we were fully booked that night.
