Aux Plumes

Very lovely restaurant located in the heart of 14e in Paris. The restaurant is well decorated with a lovely atmosphere. We ordered the Menu degustation for lunch with 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes and 1 dessert. Both my friend and I were surprised by how delicious and food is. Definitely recommend!

What a shame! Cute restaurant, creative menu, but the service was pitiful - pretentious, only nice to regulars, making a special effort to ignore newcomers (and we're not tourists) - and the meat, both the beef and the lamb, were overcooked and dry. When brought to the attention of the manager, no apology was given, the service stayed just as slow, and we were billed for everything, even what we didn't have (the deserts). Si vous ne comprenez pas l'Anglais: Restaurant ultra décevant et prétentieux. We left, disappointed.

We found Aux Plumes also through the Bib Gourmand list from Michelin. We came the first time for their lunch menu at 20€ which is a rare-to-find in Paris, and they offer it even on Saturday. You should book quite in advance though (we booked more than a week in advance for our Saturday lunch table). It was super interesting, and needless to say, the quality was so worth the price. The 3-starter idea was very catchy and they made it very good. The most memorable thing was actually the side ‘veggie garden’ with all the tiny colorful lively veggies so well cooked and seasoned, such a treat! We came back the next time for the 3 course dinner menu. Again another flavorful voyage with many interesting ingredients, a bit confusing for some combinations because of too many things on the plate, but overall we were impressed with the audacity of the chef through this big menu. Totally deserve their Bib gourmand and worth a try and a come back! Services were friendly and efficient.

A very nice and discreet restaurant in a quiet neighborhood. The menu is not exhaustive so you can be sure that everything is fresh and cook everyday. The food is tasty and the plate are beautifully presented. The menu change everyday so it’s always a new discovery and the prices are very reasonable. The owners are nice and smiley. It’s a small place so you need to book in advance. The only negative point is that it’s really noisy.

Dined there for the first time this evening. This was more of a casual restaurant but with a very impressive menu. Service was great and of course the food was amazing. The one thing I loved was the tuna steak (steak de thon) that was seared, and it was paired with a garnish that had shiso. You just couldn't help but eat slowly so you could enjoy every bite.

Cozy small restaurant with about 20 covers. Appreciate the fact that the chef try to change menu everyday. Fix 3 courses menu is for 38€ with a lot of choice. Unluckily we ordered the tasting menu and regretted it. For 60€ we had 3 half appetizers, a half fish and a half meat, and a dessert. However, it’s look sadder than the abundant dishes of the 3 courses menu ordered by neighboring tables. Amuse-bouche was tasteless but all the appetizers were very delicious (the tataki beef with mango sauce was excellent). However, fish course with rays was inedible, too smelly. We got to ask for a favor to exchanged the proposed meat course (pork) for duck. Dessert was average. We think that 3 courses menu worths much more than the tasting menu, which is sad as it should be the highlight of the restaurant of this type.

You know you are the right place when you see mainly locals enjoying thoroughly their meals in this small packed place. We were very lucky a table freed just when we arrived without a reservation and the waitress kindly invited us in. Food was top notch needless to say.

It is a one-chef show :) We took the degustation menu. It might have been longer between the fish and the meat but we enjoyed the food.

The ambiance is bare bones in this small eatery. Three of us went to dinner on July 1, 2023. From the amuse bouche to the deserts, the creative approach of this Asian /French fusion menu sounds interesting on paper, but results in confused and disappointing plates. For example, the oysters ceviche had no fresh flavor of brine because the green gaspacho swamped its identity. The vichyssoise with the addition of pureed and whole green peas was more successful, although the undercooked egg in the soup was off-putting in its gelatinous assertiveness. In fact gelatinous is an adjective that could be applied to components of many of the dishes. The main tuna was tasty, but the saffron risotto tasted like canned tomato paste. The roasted "noix" of veal was so grey and undercooked that it was frankly inedible. The baby clams were tasty but the combo with the undercooked veal fell flat. The lamb was supposed to include puree of sweet potato, which was just a smear on the plate. (Unappetizing). There was an unidentifiable vegetable that we never deciphered with the lamb. In short, the collection of flavors sounded intriguing but the proof was in the tasting, which hid most of the individual elements in the mix, leading to a disappointing dining experience.
