Cezembre

Super nice creation of dishes. Nicely presented and taste great! Service is awesome too. Just one thing that I didn't like so much. The pork in the main dish is 80% fat plus 20% lean meat. It's way too fat for me so I didn't finish the dish. In general it's well worth the price we pay

I am fresh out of the restaurant, completely stuffed from a fantastic meal there. We walked in and the first thing they asked us was if we had any dietary restrictions and offered to replace anything in their surprise menu that didn't meet our requirements. We said we were okay and the waitress sat us down, explained what the options were for the starters, mains and dessert. The restaurant is a gorgeous little hidden gem in Saint-Germain-des-Prés with incredible dishes for a very reasonable €39.00 for 3 courses. They pair the courses with fantastic wines and beers (optional). The best thing personally was the red berry dessert with the lemon and basil sorbet, passion fruit cream. But everything was near perfect. Could not fault it whatsoever. Big thank you to the waitress for her excellent service.

Absolutely amazing... The food looks and tastes gorgeous! I have some bad allergies and they made sure that nothing in my surprise meals would give me any reaction. It was simply exquisite. And let's not forget the service! Me and my partner and the most amazing, nicest, funniest waitress ever! Would definitely recommend and go back myself!

Such a lovely place to eat! They serve three course menu with very reasonable price. Great ambiance, nice and friendly staffs and wonderful service. Food quality is really amazing and of course the wine as well. Definitely want to come back again!!

Beautiful dinner with very good choice of wines by the bottle. You should count around 55 euros for the menu and 30ish euros of wine per person. Totally worth it and it will go to my top list in Paris. Difficult to describe the food since they change it every week or so. But the foies gras poele was out of this world and the lagoustine "soup" as well.

25€ for plate + dessert, or appetizer + plate, and 29€ for three. The appetizer was very nice, the plate with pork and the dessert were ordinary. The waiters were pretty nice, and friendly.

Had a great dining experience, all dishes are well prepared. Not sure about wine pairing, most of the guests including ourselves ordered just a bottle of wine.

Good food however, needs to have at least 2 weeks prior to get a reservation. Expect the dinner to last 3 hours. Try the wine options, lots of good local French wines.

Michelin Quality at Bistro Prices! How this place does not have a Michelin star is beyond me. Five course fixed tasting menu plus an amouse bouche for 65 euros. We started with a carrot and blue lobster soup. Then langoustines, a foie gras dish, cod, medallion of pork tenderloin and desert. All outstanding. They offer a wine pairing with each course, but we went for a bottle of Champagne-- we are in Paris after all. And of course, since we were bursting at the seams -- freshly baked madeleines still warm from the oven. Service was impeccable. Reservations are a must. Once the foodie gliteratti discover this place the prices will jump and you won't be able to get in. GO NOW!

Our best meal in Paris in terms of value and taste. Yes, L'epicure was better, but it wasn't 4 times better than Cezembre. Cezembre was very small and they served a set menu. Everyone gets the same thing. This style of service helps cut cost (less food waste, less man power needed for the prep). If you are not picky, then the 5 courses for 59 euro is a fantastic deal. We started with a little amuse bouche of meaty carrot saffron soup with jamon and chicken foam. Then came the sweet perfectly seared scallops in a cream sauce with savory hen of the woods mushrooms. there were several scallops in there, so the courses were generously portioned. After scooping up every bit of cream sauce, next was the tender buttery foie gras, with a little diced mango on the side, so it had just a hint of sweet and sour. Fish dish followed and we received a nice filet of pollack. Pollack is a cheap fish, usually made into fish sticks and imitation crab meat in US, but fresh pollack treated the right way was delicious and just as tasty as cod or bass. Last savory dish was seared beef filet, neatly stacked potato pave, sunchoke, mushroom, and artichoke. It was delicious from start to finish. The dessert, poached pears with chocolate sorbet and whipped cream was perhaps the weakest course. My best food friend didn't care for the watery pear and I thought it was ok.

My daughter and I went here last evening and had the most amazing experience! The food was absolute perfection with every detail being thought out with such care. The service was the best we ever had and all with smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Went here for dinner on the last night of our Paris trip. Perfect cap off to an amazing week. Every aspect of the meal was perfect - texture, taste, presentation, cadence of service and wine pairing was totally on point. It's a small place, 15 tables in total. Book a table and make sure they confirm it. You're in for a memorable meal!

Best meal I have had in a very long time! We were visiting from California and was recommended by a friend who lives in Paris. 5 course menu, all done very very well. The dishes fluctuate with season and availability, but seems they are always including some interesting items. Strikes a great balance between comfort and pushing the edges, has a french style, but is just good food done really well! Would go back in a heartbeat!

This meal might have been the best in my life. It was a set-menu 5 courses. You can reserve online in advance and await for a confirmation from the restaurant. You can opt to do a wine pairing or order bottles or wines by the glass. Each dish was well thought out and the presentation was beautiful. The service was amazing and attentive. We had a crab/avocado appetizer, lobster, fish, steak, cheesecake. I wish i remembered the proper name for each dish but I will be sure to add pictures. Great value for the quality of food/service/presentation. Would definitely return!

Absolutely incredible dinner in Paris. The 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings is a great value. We had 2 starters, monkfish, duck, and a dessert. The monkfish was my favorite part of the meal, but everything was phenomenal. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Well worth the $$ and highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of having their five course surprise prix fixe menu, and it was a highlight of our trip! They served a wonderful amuse-bouche with a leek veloute, langoustines, snap peas, pesto oil, and mushroom broth, as well as regular courses built around scallops, foie gras, Cabillaud, duck breast, and a soufflé. The service was very warm, some of the best we've had as well. We're looking forward to coming back on our next trip!

Cezembre is an excellent way to enjoy fine dining without the formality or high cost of many other Parisian restaurants. The five course menu is very well priced at 45€. Since the menu changes daily, I won't focus on our specific dishes, but every plate was well balanced and composed, with lots of delicate flavors and interesting textures. The portions are not large but they are reasonably sized; I'm an American with a big appetite and I left very satiated. The wine pairings were very enjoyable and reasonably priced. Service was excellent and the atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming. The restaurant is not formal but it's Paris, so wear something chic and smart and you'll feel at home. Make sure you receive a formal confirmation of your reservation! Several people came to the restaurant thinking that they had a booking, but they had not received a confirmation from the restaurant. Without a confirmation, you don't have a table. Reservations are a must; every table is generally booked.

Wow - I think this was my favorite meal in Paris (especially in terms of value!) The 65 Euro 5 course menu (plus a large amuse bouche) left us feeling SO FULL and happy. Our menu for the night: -Amuse bouche: smashed avocado, crab -Foie Gras (not our favorite) -Squid ink risotto and langosteen -Hake with brussels sprouts (my favorite dish!) -A beef course -A fresh strawberry pastry / sorbet dessert

DELICIOUS. The service and the food is exquisite. This is definitely a Paris experience, 5 course tasting menu that doesn't break the bank. Make reservations and plan on spending 2 1/2 to 3 hours here chatting and enjoying each other's company. You won't regret it!

The website is slightly confusing as it appeared they served a la carte as well as a tasting menu: strictly 5 course tasting menu. It was a yummy meal. The highlight was the final course of duck and the soufflé grand marnier for dessert. It was reasonably priced and would return plan on at least 2 hours to enjoy your meal

As Americans visiting Paris we wanted to experience fine Parisian dining and this exceeded expectations. We made reservations for lunch and were treated to a three course meal that was exceptional. My French is quite poor and our waiter bounced between French and English for the 20 or so patrons with ease. We had an explanation of each course and the food was sensational. Five stars all the way!

I received a recommendation to try Cezembre from a friend here in San Francisco. My wife and I came here for lunch. We were surprised that all they offered was a set menu for 25 euros. So we ordered an appetizer and an entree. While the presentation of both were excellent, I came out hungry and I am not a big guy. For the appetizer, they offered langustinos (2) on top of mashed potatoes with some sauce. For the main entree, we had a white fish with two small pieces of grilled lettuce on the side, carrot puree, a half artichoke heart, and one piece of sugar pea. The white fish was about 3"x 3" in size and was salty. We tried other restaurants in Paris, and their portions were more generous. The restaurant is small, not much decor. Service is very friendly though. With the amount of restaurants in this city, I would pass on this one.

I give this place a thumbs up and a five star review. I have been touring Paris and this place is the best restaurant I've tried so far. I went here for lunch and ordered an appetizer and a main dish. My appetizer was prawns with bacon foam and mushrooms. My main was cod with cooked vegetables. My experience was great. I really recommend going to this awesome, wonderful restaurant. This restaurant will give me good memories of my awesome trip to Paris.

This was one of the most wonderfully memorable meals of my life. Really. The food was phenomenal. The chef and his partner, host-waiter-sommelier-busser Tiger, work ridiculously hard. If you have specific tastes or expect lots of selections and might not enjoy the courses on a fixed menu, this isn't the place for you. If you want giant wine pours because you like to drink by volume, not taste, this is not the place for you. And if you want the waiter to be at your beck and call at every moment, this is not the place for you. If you are interested in enjoying a sublime meal and watching the magic of two incredibly talented and lovely people share their gifts with you, you will love Cézembre!
