Camélia

Absolutely exceptional experience! This Parisian restaurant is a true gem; elegant ambiance, refined cuisine, and impeccable attention to detail. Every dish was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding, and I must give special recognition to Meziane, who made our evening truly unforgettable. Professional, attentive, and incredibly kind, he elevated the whole experience. A big thank you to the entire team. Highly recommended!

Delicious lunch in a very sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. The seasoning is just right, and the vegetables accompanying the fish/ chicken were even better than the main star of the plate. Not cheap though, especially the beverages which are definitely overpriced ( 28e the glass of wine? 14 for the Jasmin tea and 12 for the espresso? Come on, this is no 3 star restaurant either...). Personnel is also very attentive. Overall a very good experience!

Amazing! The food was delicious👍Our waiter, Coralie, was exceptional at adapting my dinner according to my gluten intolerance. I reccomend the specialty lemon desert, 😋Overall was a fabulous experience, definite recommendation‼️thank you Coralie

A beautiful evening with delicious food. The chef make a perfect combination of various flavors. It was a very comfortable place, especially the perfect service. I will come back next time in my next visit to Paris.

My wife and I just got done eating here for our 5th year anniversary. The food was delicious, the veal was cooked perfectly and her fish was delicious. The three desserts we had were all fun to eat and tasted fantastic. Above all was the service, the moment we got there we felt at ease and were treated so nicely, the staff is amazing. Thank you for making our special day an unforgettable night.

Had a fantastic dinner at Camelia. Paul was anmazing and recommended the finest wine matches for the fish. He went above and beyond to create us a list of restaurants and places to visit in Cannes. Will definitely return to Mandarin and Camelia!

Very good restaurant for breakfast. Just a good wholesome breakfast. we had the Parisan breakfast which allows you to select an entree from the menu along with your bread and yogurt. i selected the eggs sausages mushrooms and potatoes (very cute potatoes). the fruit salad that came with it had very fresh berries. I also ordered some cappuccinos for breakfast. Food 5 out of 5 Service 5 out of 5

Came in for a dinner on a Saturday night. Before we sat down we told the kitchen staff that one of us is pescatarian and whether they can switch the veal in the tasting menu with a fish. He said yes. Once we sat down and wanted to order one regular tasting menu and one with fish, the chef sent a message with the waiter that both of us would have to get fish. We asked if we came in to the restaurant individually would they accommodate the pescatarian menu request for one of us? They said yes. So it didn’t make sense why they couldn’t make this simple change, especially given the reputation of this place. Anyways we ended up ordering a la carte. My husband got the veal and I got the mackerel. The fish and the veggies were very bland and lacked flavor. The presentation was beautiful, but the food was tasteless. He didn’t love his veal either. We got Paris Brest for dessert. It was good - 7/10. The best part of this restaurant is service. The hostess Irina was extremely friendly and accommodating. She was so sweet and courteous. However, the food wasn’t impressive.

The service is fantastic, from the moment you walk in the door! A little slow with dinner but very kind and attentive staff. The food however, I can't say the same about. Our table had the 98 euro per person tasting menu. It was verging on inedible. By the time I had my last dish, I was moving the food around on my plate to make it look like I had eaten it so that I didn't upset my friend who had taken us to dinner there. I could tell everyone else at our table had a similar opinion on the quality of the dishes. Unfortunately the only good thing was the wine and the birthday cake that we brought for dessert.

Sunday brunch at Camélia is a more elegant buffet than I'm used to. For 98€/pp you have the buffet, an entree, and coffee or juice. The buffet consists of breads, pastries, cheeses, meats Parisienne ham, jamon), a smattering of sushi, and salads. While it's not exactly extensive, it's decent. The entree choices range from fish to meat, pasta, and a vegetarian option. The menu doesn't really specify so it's vague. We ended up ordering dish and meat. Both of which were pretty tasty and well cooked. For dessert, you can select from a dessert case of fancy mousses, some mini drinks, and macrons. I think this is where you can do some real damage because they also sell these same items for quite a lot of Euro. Service is usually quite good but our server seemed inexperienced and spaced out if you ask me. The other servers (outside in the garden) seemed more professional and expeditious. This isn't exactly the type of brunch where you chow down and put away plates of food. Somehow it just didn't seem quite right given the elegant setting and fancy clientele. While we didn't leave hungry I think we probably could've eaten more. Overall, I'm glad we experienced brunch at Camélia. Would I return? For the price and selection, probably not. There are just too many other options for brunch in Paris.

If your coming here for truffles, they're only in season in the winter. They don't have truffles in August. The porklet. Pork ribs with the bone removed and chicken stuff in its place. It was tender but lacked in flavor. The sauce was just salty no enough flavor or melted collegen you would expect from ribs. The veal tartare was good but the mention of truffles sauce was a joke. 5 stars for the atmosphere 3 stars for the service 3 stars for the food. It was good but at that price and small portion I expect perfection.

After an afternoon of shopping and wandering around in the 1st arrondissement, we decided to take a short break and let our feet rest. Camelia is a lounge located in the Mandarin Oriental, Paris. We arrived in the late afternoon on a weekday, and the restaurant was not packed at all. We ordered two pastries and some tea to go with it. Wow are their pastries are out of the world! I especially enjoyed Charlotte:) I would never be able to find sophisticated pastries like it in LA.

Great space for meal and a drink. I had a club sandwich and it was pretty good. The fries were big and greasy - I like the thin and crispy kind and these were the opposite. Big, soft and dropping with oil. I'd come back though just to sit and enjoy the air and the space.

You cannot go to Paris without dropping by the MO wether for lunch at Camelia or Sur Mesure or for tea time Even after 10 years in Paris, I still rank the place in my favorite top 10 for a good tea and pastry Cons? Definitely price :p

Louis and Yasmin were perfect... very gracious and well served and I felt really at home. So friendly as Paris can sometimes be a little cold. This place is great

I stayed at the Mandarin oriental and came in for breakfast. The service in my opinion is top notch. As of June 2018 54 euros for a buffet breakfast and eggs. Salmon ham cold cut meats are at minimum in regards to selection but pastries you had a lot more choice. I thought each one was delicious, light and a lot to choose from Different types of bread Cheese fruit yogurt cereal are also available. The wait staff is fluent in English and French. Always attentive. Refilling water. Aldin if I'm ok. when my coffee was almost finished they were asking if I'd like another (not waiting until done) and new cup not top off. So far other restaurants are pretty laid back and slow compared to what I'm used to but the eggs came out surprisingly quick. Possibly cheaper alternatives but if you're at the hotel solid choice

The Mandarin Oriental has 2 restaurants, with Camelia being the "little sister" to Sur Mesure. I had brunch here and found that despite the 50 euro prix fix, the restaurant still needs to work out its kinks particularly regarding the service which was attentive and nice but a bit confused. For example, I came at 10:30 AM and the staff debated internally first if they could serve me and then if they would serve me breakfast or lunch. Similarly, when I asked to replace the bacon on my eggs benedict with salmon, my server said he was unsure and wanted to check with the kitchen. Now, one might say that's overly picky of me, but the reality is that this is the Mandarin Oriental, and for a guest that has probably just invested 1,000 euros in a room and a breakfast, the correct answer is "yes". The food was very good - my eggs benedict were even topped with black truffles and had a sprinkle of wild flowers. By the time I got them, they were cold though. Of note, the coffee was outstanding.

Great service great place! We had a great time here! Food is delicious and delicate. Dress code: smart casual works well for this 2 Michelin stars restaurant.

Unless you're staying at the Mandarin Oriental in Paris, you may not think to go in for a bite, especially given the vast variety of options available in the city. But make no mistake, if you go to Camélia, you're in for a real treat. I know, I know; you expected me to rave about Sur Mesure, the formal restaurant, which boasts two Michelin stars--but it's dressier and harder to get a reservation. Camélia is a bit more laid back, yet still a fine dining restaurant (not an inexpensive place) and doesn't have a dress code. The food is outstanding and the outdoor courtyard seating, weather permitting, pleasant. The sea bass is a great choice, though other seafood, pasta, chicken and meat are on the menu as well. But if you don't save for dessert you could either teach courses on self control or you are impossible to impress. The desserts are simply out of this world; small, artfully presented, and beyond delicious. They, alone, are worth the trip. Go ahead, indulge already!

The service is outstanding, from the moment you walk through the doors. The food was the worst I have had in Paris. At 82 euros I got an undercooked egg in luke warm soup and the saddest duck in western Europe, a bottle of water, a glass of wine and an expresso. I saw the same look of disappointment on the faces of many of my fellow diners. Not worth the money, not in this city where you can get awesome meals for half that price.
