Biondi

*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.

From start to finish, experience at Biondi was phenomenal. The wine was good, the warm bread delicious, and the service was on point. We started with the ceviche and the empanadas with beef and every bite was better than the last. Presentation was beautiful and the food left us wanting more. Entrees were Milanesa beef and sirloin steak. Again, the food was incredible. From the steak to the mashed potatoes, as well as the salad, the flavors were all there and so delicious! Was so full we had to take dessert with us and eat it the next day. Chocolate mouse. Highly recommend. It did not disappoint. On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere was perfect and the service wonderful. Neither of us speak French but the staff was great with us and helped us so much. Thank you for such a great meal and experience!

This place comes highly recommended for dinner, but I only had the opportunity to come for lunch which was still fantastic. For around €20 you get an entree, main dish and dessert. I was hoping that the lunch options would have an Argentinian influence (grilled meats, empanadas, chimichurri). The options were really good, but basic and light. The fish with beets was really good, although I wish they would have beefed up the dish with something heartier. I didn’t leave hungry, but I didn’t leave full either. Overall, another great find on the Michelin Guide. Will return to try dinner!

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a fantastic lunch at Biondi, an Argentinian restaurant. The star of the show was undoubtedly the Côte de boeuf maturée 5 semaines (Holstein) à partager pour 2 personnes, with its melt-in-your-mouth perfection. While there was a lot of grease, the flavors were outstanding. Additionally, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary entrée - a delightful dipping sauce with crackers. It was incredibly delicious and a very kind gesture on their part. We had as well the empanadas, that were a delicious accompaniment that I thoroughly enjoyed. The food's temperature and texture were on point, and the overall quality and service provided were exceptional, making it a truly memorable lunch experience.

Hello, recently went in this venue with the family before a circus show and the only thing I have to say is MARVELOUS. Starters are amazing, meat so tender, presentation awesome, service exceptional. The Chimichurri sauce was also excellent. But I have to give a special plus to the fine matured ham carpaccio which was incredibly good especially with the corn bread. Thx a lot to all the team for this moment. You deserve it. Ps : just maybe, be careful of the spicy power of their black pepper sauce, it’s crazy. But anyway I eat it all :) Enjoy

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.

We were expecting a great variety on the menu; unfortunately, there were only a limited number of choices, and the menu wasn't in English. The chefs suggested the steak Milanese, but it was nothing special – dry and tasteless. The 'Fish with caviar' dish required a specially trained dog to find the caviar. Considering the quality, it was very overpriced. We ordered a small birthday cake for my mother's birthday that never arrived. The waitresses were not very polite; they seemed snobbish

A very nice cosy restaurant with excellent food, well presented and created with high quality Ingredients made with passion. Very friendly and warm professional staff. The meat was excellent!! I’d come back here for sure on my next visit to Paris!

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.
