Biondi

We found this place by luck after avoiding a long queue for an other steakhouse nearby . The food was just amazing , yes it’s pricey but it worth it . The meat was perfectly cooked , the sides delicious and simple . Keep a spot for the desserts because they are beyond expectations

I'd like to thank them for accepting us even though we were 25 minutes late for our reservation. We ate inside first and then continued with our wine outside in the front area. The staff was very attentive. The meat was among the best we've had in Paris. I highly recommend the wine in the picture. It was both value for money and quite enjoyable. I must say, the mashed potatoes were just as good as the meat!

Very cosy , small but lovely , staffs are absolutely lovely. One of my favourite place to have a cosy night. Ps: try the pavlova, thanks me later 😶‍🌫️😎

We had an enjoyable evening at Biondi. The food was top-notch, albeit expensive compared to similar places. We had starters and mains and the only item slightly disappointing was the ceviche starter as the fish was a bit too thick. I appreciated the free terrine we received as part of the meal.

*5 glasses of wine* What a place. A rollercoaster of emotions. You go in and it is dark, low to no music and candlelights on every table. Perfect ambiance for a date night, well we were a group of 11 that night so we clearly misunderstood the brief. Once seated, you start to realise that the service in this restaurant is not a priority. Things take ages to arrive, most of the staff does not speak french or english. Yes we want authentic but we want to be able to communicate as well. I did not feel irritated by all of this despite how crazy bad the service was. Something about the candlelight ambiance made more patient. Then came the food. Change of gears, and we were hit by flavour bomb after flavour bomb. The prime rib from Galicia was perfectly dry aged, seasoned and cooked to perfection. The wagyu picanha was another masterful dish full of flavour. I am a carnivore, always looking for the best steakhouse. For so long I always thought I could cook the meat better at home and pay a third of the price. Not tonight, I think tonight the quality of the meat, the seasoning and the cookery is something I would struggle to replicate. That said it is a place where you would break the bank. 100€ pp.

The best empanadas I’ve ever had to be honest!! The steak was perfectly cooked, but those mashed potatoes were divine!! Overall, the Michelin guide was spot on about Biondi!! Bravo!

Delicious Argentinian restaurant. They serve exceptional meat. The wine list is extensive as well. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The only drawback I'd find is that the room is poorly lit. Although this is agreeable for certains, it is inconvenient for other people that like seeing what they eat in detail.

Yesterday was our third visit, and it just keeps getting better. The food is becoming more and more delicious each time. One of the best restaurants in Paris, with its cool, laid-back atmosphere, top-notch dishes, and genuinely friendly service. Can’t wait to come back again

We went here entirely by chance... late, hungry... they had room. We are SO glad we did. The meal was splendid. The atmosphere is wonderful. Everything was so fresh, well seasoned and tasty. This was one of the best meals we had during our week in Paris. Service was attentive even though they were busy. I would DEFINITELY go back.... And try MANY more dishes!

This is my favorite restaurant in Paris! I brought my American friends with me to try it and they said it was the best steak they ever had. Service is great & our waiter was friendly & spoke English. This restaurant is fantastic, though it's a bit crowed, it has a nice ambience.

Enjoyed a lovely dinner this evening at Biondi. It was a wonderful experience I wish to repeat. The decor is lovely, service is on par. Had I of opted for steak rather than octopus this would be a 5 star review. Dinner began with an amuse bouche of pate Campagne. It was a fantastic and generous slice of pate for 2. It was served with crusty bread and cornichons. Clearly a nice way to kick off dinner. AMALAYA TORRONTES-REISLING BLANCO DE CORTE 2021 This was a very good bottle of Torrontes. However, 38 Euros is too dear a price for a wine which sells for 10 to 12 Euros in a wine shop. Yes, it was good cold and crisp; however, there is a rational markup which restaurants should abide by. "Ember octopus - cauliflower - mayo kalamata - lime" If you follow me on Yelp it is clear I adore octopus. But the problem is very few restaurants get it right. While they got the flavor right the texture was a tad chewy. Furthermore, their knives were dull. Every aspect of this dish was exceptional except for the preparation of the octopus. I wish the octopus were more tender. Most chefs struggle with this. I'm classically trained in French cuisine and struggle with prepping octopus - so I get it. Declinaison de dulce de leche - glace - mousse - crumble Dessert was amazing. This was classic dulce de leche on steroids. The mousse was light and punched with flavor yet not overly sweet. The ice cream? OMG. This was a complex yet light dessert two can share. Clearly, I will be ordering this dish again. My dinner partner chose beef. It was 5 stars. I'm just not the best beef eater and will opt for seafood. Next trip here I may just break down and do red meat.

This is a lovely Argentine steakhouse. Nothing too fancy. Just excellent food prepared with a light touch. I had the entraña prepared "a point" and an IPA. Before my meal arrived, they brought a regalito of a slice of foie gras with cornichons. They also brought fine whole wheat bread steaming straight from the oven. The meat arrived perfectly cooked, nice char, and straight from the grill. A side salad came with it. The service was genial and prompt. They would get a fifth star if their empanadas were more interesting. To the meat and onion the best also add hard boiled egg and olives. I would definitely return.

I do not live in Paris but I visit often. I have been to Biondi before and enjoyed the food, so I booked it for last Saturday. Due to a terrible customer service experience, unfortunately I will not be coming back. The person on the phone with whom I reserved a table for 10pm was very friendly. I advised him that I was maybe going to be slightly late because I had a concert at the Bataclan, a short walk away. When I arrived to the restaurant at 10:30 all the tables were taken, which is completely fair that they gave away our table. However, the hostess with the face piercings was extremely rude. We apologized for being late and kindly asked for the first table available. She kept repeating "we are fully booked" while indicating to the restaurant room as if we were blind. A few nice alternatives could have been: "I am sorry we are full" or "the first table available will be at X time" or "unfortunately our kitchen closes at X time". She just kept repeating the phrase "we are fully booked" while pointing to the tables as if we were idiots. This is the girl with the face piercings. Extremely rude and terrible customer service.

I was in a foul mood and rumbling with a dull wine high. Still, the experience would calm me by meal's end. The bread, which I've neglected to mention in almost every review (in France) this year, was as good as you would expect. The amuse was a terrine of some sort (rabbit?) served with a few lightly dressed greens and cornichons. Fine. The app was a braised octopus with fennel and a few kalamata olives. Also fine. The Brazilian influence of this meal was self-evident. Our main was beef for two served with chimichurri, thinly deep fried slices of manioc (cassava) that looked like cellophane, fries (piping hot), simply dressed salad (simple but strong), whole shallots (confit), and a ground hot pepper sauce. More specifically, the beef was thick slices of flanken cut short ribs. It was perfectly cooked. No amount of twists and sides and show could save this meal if the meat were not perfect. Just a beautiful medium rare - tender, moist, deep. Nice atmosphere, nice vibe, nice service.
