BAMBINO

Atmosphere was well enjoyed, the service is lovely up to a point, friendly but stiff. The beef tartare was good, muscles not fresh quite a few unopened ones in my plate :/. Everything else was just okay… compared to other wine bars in the area the price isn’t justified by the taste. Quality is there but flavors are lacking… I see the vision but underdeveloped menu, this time around.

Great ambiance! A bit pricey, but definitely worth the experience. The music was fantastic (we even Shazamed several songs!) and the atmosphere was beautifully romantic, perfect for a date night. The food was excellent, made with high-quality ingredients and felt almost like a tasting menu. The dessert was fabulous, and the drinks matched the vibe perfectly. I highly recommend this place for a quality Parisian date night that feels truly special and out of the ordinary.

Fun atmosphere and pleasant design, excellent food and a great selection of wines. The service was friendly but not quite professional enough.

The place has this beautiful decoration but that’s all you’re going to see!! I am once again disappointed to come to a super hyped place on social media for no reason! It’s just an instagrammable place, but it’s very tiny, you have nowhere to sit or stay because there are tables in the middle, the music is sooo boring, how could this be defined as a bar dansante by some? It’s definitely not the vibe I expected, it’s just a place to get an overpriced drink and have nowhere to sit… or be asked to go downstairs and sit by the toilets… I’d rather have a drink at home!

Front of house were extremely rude (borderline arrogant) wouldn’t let us in the building 1 minute before our reservation and then in an empty restaurant sat people right next to us and demanded we put our bags in the cloakroom. The waiters on the other hand were very nice. Oil felt like it had been reused as me and my friend now have an upset stomach and still water was not chilled and felt like tap water instead of bottled (eventhough it was in a bottle)

As frequent travelers who eat our way across the world — from Michelin-star to humble street stalls — we’ve learned that great hospitality isn’t about luxury. It’s about awareness, listening, and the simple ability to treat guests like humans. Which is why our experience at Bambino Paris was so astonishing. My wife is dairy-free and does not eat meat, a dietary combination that countless restaurants — high and low, refined and rustic — have handled with grace. Here, however, we were recommended a dish that still contained butter. The moment this was corrected, my wife’s menu options evaporated entirely. We could cancel the food. But not the wine — a wine ordered solely to accompany the now-canceled meal. So there we sat, finishing a drink she didn’t even want because policy apparently outweighs common sense. To be fair, one server treated us kindly. But the entire experience was undone by one staff member — the server with the neck tattoo — whose demeanor redefined the concept of “too cool to care.” His tone carried a level of impatience that would be impressive if it weren’t so misplaced. Despite an abundance of open tables, he informed us that we had to order something to remain seated, even after we explained the allergy issue. Moments later, he reappeared — not with a solution, not with understanding, but with the payment terminal. The implication was clear: finish your wine and move along. For a restaurant that relies heavily on its image, the performance was surprisingly tone-deaf. His final remark — “Too bad you can’t experience our food” — may have been intended as a closing line. In reality, it summarized the entire culture he embodied: presentation over hospitality, posture over professionalism, and policy over people. As operators in the hospitality industry ourselves, we know the difference between a busy night and a breakdown in service culture. This was the latter — and it was entirely avoidable. For future guests: Paris offers no shortage of restaurants that understand hospitality at its core. For management: I hope this review serves not as criticism, but as a necessary prompt for internal reflection. One staff member’s conduct can undermine an entire brand, no matter how curated the atmosphere may be. One star only because zero is not permitted.

I was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes and the quality of the food, which exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is exactly as you would imagine—simply perfect. The service was exceptional, with the server being super nice. However, I did find the prices for alcohol to be a bit high, especially the orange wine at 11€ and other wines which were 10€.

Must visit if you value quality ingredients, amazing service and music. The staff were great and truly passionate about the establishment, the waitress helped us with pairings- which were delicious. All the wine on the menu is natural which is an added bonus. The sound system is perfect for enjoying the music & conversation. 10/10
