Campelli by Vartivar Jarkezian

My mother and I did the 5 course tasting menu and it was spectacular. Chef is doing great and creative things with the flavors; I don't think I've ever had such well integrated and clever uses of acids/sours before. The staff was incredibly sweet to my very chatty mom. It was delightful. I hope to visit again next time I'm in Paris!

Did the 7-course tasting menu here, and while I can’t list every dish, I can tell you each bite lingers in the best way, especially with a good glass of wine. It’s a feast for the eyes just seeing each plate arrive, making you pause before diving in. The whole experience feels like a quiet celebration, where you leave full but somehow wanting just one more bite. One of those meals that sticks with you—in a good way.

Amazing dinner! We’ve been to many restaurants in Paris, from all types and range, this one is at the top of our list. We had a great experience. We took the 5 course menu, each plate was unique and special. All plates were delicious, well balanced, and with surprising flavors. The chef is extremely talented and friendly, like the entire staff. We will come back on our next trip 😊

After I tried this restaurant in Oct 2023, it has been my favourite until today. In summary: the quality has dropped, the service is lacking, pricing is not transparent, there is less value for money, and the shift in dish flavors is questionable. 1. Dish Preparation Error: Despite specifying no organ meat, my friend was served beef throat. Thankfully, they provided an alternative dish. (p.s. There was an old sesame from last customer on one of my spoons, which thankfully was replaced.) 2. Lack of Pricing Transparency: The restaurant charges €8 for 250cl of flat water without offering tap water or disclosing the price upfront—only revealing it on the bill. This feels like a cheap tactic to make extra money, which is disappointing for a fine dining establishment. When I questioned the waitress, she simply replied that drinks are not included in the set menu. 3. Unimpressive Cuisine: The dishes either lacked flavor or was too salty (the beef throat) and seemed like irrelevant components assembled together (The desserts were sour, salty, and sweety at the same time, not bad but not good either). The introduction of Middle Eastern spices and too much yogurt have altered the traditional French cuisine I enjoyed in 2023. 4. Price Increases: The menu has become more expensive, with wine no longer included in the 5 or 7-course option. The cocktail used to be really impressive, and I am disappointed that it's gone. 5. Cost-Cutting Measures: Couples are now forced to choose either the 5-course or 7-course menu together, with no flexibility to order different options. This is a significant departure from my previous visit, where we were offered varied dishes even when ordering the same menu. The whole restaurant were eating more or less the same dishes this time. It feels like they are prioritizing cost-cutting over customer experience. Some plus points to the dish display: very pretty and artistic. They replace dishes and dirty spoon immediately. My friend commented that the beef not included in the set menu was amazing, which means they are really top in making French dishes, but prioritize innovative flavour now. Overall, very different from before, maybe you will be disappointed if you were mindblown in 2023 like me and try this restaurant now.

Wow, what a great experience! We had a 5-course menu, and the food was delicious and unique, a blend between Armenian and French cousins. We also had wine pairing, so this was the first time I tried some Armenian wines (honestly, I did not know much about wines from there). Every dish was excellent, from the look to the taste, and the personnel deserved 10 out of 10. Explaining every dish and wine, ensuring we had everything for a delightful dinner. P.S. Don't be afraid to try dessert with chicken. The taste is fantastic! This place is absolutely a must when you are in Paris.

An incredible five-course culinary journey featuring oriental flavors and a variety of textures, showcasing the creativity and finesse of Chef Vartivar Jarkezian. A truly remarkable Parisian spot! Thank you!

Absolutely incredible 10/10. The best meal we’ve ever had, with impeccable service and atmosphere. Will be a meal we talk about for years. Every dish was so unique and yet so accessible. We did the 5 course tasting menu with wine tasting and each course was better than the last. Couldn’t recommend enough, this place should have a months long wait list for the quality of food and experience. Thank you!!!

Nice restaurant in 1st arrondissement. The decor is authentic. There is lot of space between table which is more intimate. Chef has middle east roots which is reflected in the dishes. We had degustation menu. Amazing food with original flavours. We loved the armenian wine suggested by the somelier. The service was exceptional.
