Alluma

Wow. Wow. Wow. My partner and I have been meaning to try this place for many years and we are sad we waited so long. One of the best meals in Paris with incredible service. Excited to come back soon to try more!

The food is good - interesting taste combinations and well presented. The service though is shocking and comical. It may have been a bad evening for the restaurant - despite their friendliness, it is not an excuse to miss order, and mistakes. The table next to us has their entire main missed because they have forgotten to put in their order and the kitchen has closed! Our order was late and came in the wrong sequence. What a shame - the food needs to pair with equivalent service to make it a great place but unfortunately the service lets it down greatly. Hopefully improvement can be made swiftly as it is such a shame not to.

Dinner at Alluma was a highlight of our visit to Paris so far (we’re a month in). We were a table of 4; we all speak French but were speaking English together. Our lovely server spoke English to us which made the experience uniquely seamless. I’ll add that she was kind and professional. The food was outstanding! We had a tuna crudo and a brochette of mussels appetizer; as main courses we had a shrimp on a paella-inspired bed and the catch of the day (some sort of cod-like white fish) served with a delicious slightly peppery sauce and topped with fennel. The photos I’ve included here don’t do justice to the food! The restaurant is bright and spacious. I appreciate the choice Alluma’s owners have made to keep the tables a reasonable distance apart. The spacious arrangement enhances the dining experience. A lovely woman (an owner I think) explained to me that they’ve recently shifted from a tasting menu format to 100% a la carte. (So some older reviews may be addressing the prior format.) We all four concluded that Alluma offered a delightful dining experience!

I had been wanting to try this place for over 2 years and I am happy to say that it lived up to the high expectations! The service was kind and welcoming, the dishes were delicious, creative and well presented and the wine was great. I particularly enjoyed the pomelo salad (so fresh and tasty!), the fish gyoza (tastiest gyozas I’ve ever had) and the first dessert which I have forgotten the name/description of. My partner really enjoyed the sashimi, which had an impeccable sauce, and said that the meat was cooked to perfection. The choice of cheeses was also a great surprise, served with really nice herbs. All in all, I think this is a great and quite affordable fine dining experience (64€ for 6 dishes), which I would definitely recommend trying!! I look forward to coming back when in Paris!!

The food was excellent! Even though I am a vegetarian, all the dishes were delicious, special, and with a lot of thought behind them.

All tasting menu dishes were very creative and delicious. The Chef combines different flavors very well. And our server Gabby was very cordial, attentive and helpful. We will add this excellent restaurant to our go-to list whenever we return to Paris.

Book a table 2 weeks in advance and I was high expectation about this place, and I can’t said that I left very satisfied. Start with the service. The waiter was very attentive, she know all the menu by each ingredient, and know how to make the adjustment for the right diet (we were 2, one of us vegan). The wine selection was very nice. I was looking for rose which they didn’t had the same evening, but instead she offer us other wine , something like and “orange wine” which was very good and go along with the food As for the food. We order 4 starters (all vegan), 1 main (fish) and dessert. All were very impressed. Small dish but with a lots of flavors and can see that someone think hard how to make this food so special. I know this kind of food, but never had this in this version which was very impressed. So yes. We had a great night with amazing food and good wine with great vibes. All cost around 150 Euro which I think it’s was really value for money . Really enjoyed, and when I’ll back to Paris again sure will visit again to try other sides. Thank you Liran and the team for great evening. Well done. 🙏🙏🙏

The New Year’s menu at this restaurant was absolutely delightful! Every dish was crafted to perfection, and the flavors were truly unforgettable. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely added to the charm of the evening, making the entire experience exceptional. This spot has now earned a permanent place as my top recommendation for dining in Paris.
