Chez Michel

food was delicious with interesting flavour combinations. i had the crab salad with a very special crumble on top that was totally unexpected but very nice. the cod was excellent. service and atmosphere were both very warm and friendly. will definitely return.

When is about food depend from person to person, but in this case I think everyone will be impressed, this was in our case. If I’ll pass this part of Paris, for sure I’ll visit again the restaurant.

Fantastic & delicious food. Poor service. We walked in off the street, not knowing anything about the restaurant or the need for a reservation (we just happened to be passing by). The server was obviously not happy that we didn’t have a reservation and made a grimacing face as she spoke to us. However, we were offered a table. We were the only customers in the restaurant when we arrived. We waited for 10 minutes and finally asked if we could have water and drinks because we were parched from walking. I spilt my water by accident (it was quite loud too) and the server never got up off her stool to assist. I had to ask for a dry napkin. The plates were not cleared between servings and we had to move our dishes to the side of the table so the suggestion could be obvious that we wanted them cleared. The veal was mouth watering and oh so tender. Everything was cooked to perfection. We were really disappointed that the 2 staff members were not on par with the Chef. The experience could have been mind blowing but the service really tarnished the experience. Would return-for the food and certainly hope a new service staff is present and well trained. Highly suggest you make reservations.

In our last night of Paris, we were looking for a local restaurant with French cuisine and my wife found this spot. The food was delicious and definitely filling, we left feeling stuffed. We chose the 3 course menu which included a starter, entree and dessert. Although the food was great, the service was a bit slow. We weren’t checked on very often and the person next to us had to remind the waitress that he was still waiting for his dessert. All in all still recommend this michelin star restaurant.

It was okay! I think some of the food items were just not my taste. The space is really cozy and the servers were really nice. We had some language barriers and they were extremely accomdating. The fois gras was okay. The beef was good. The dessert was yummy as well (minus the nut allergy).

Knowing this decent French restaurant by a friend’s recommendation and the visit was totally amazing! It only offers set menu where you can choose entree + main + dessert at dinner time for a basic 42 euro price. It might goes up if special dishes are chosen. My friends and I tried the fish soup and crab salad as entrees. The soup was first came up with a plate of dry meats, salamis, and cheese; then the soup was gently poured into the soup plate. You can taste the rich flavor of the soup and savory added by the ingredients. The crab salad was served with sliced green apples on top to lighten the taste. I’m not sure the what the jelly-like thing between the salas and apple was but it felt like terrine made by chicken broth. I was impressed by the concept of salad We then had pigeon, fish, and risotto. I was not quite used to the smell of pigeon but i still considered it as a good first try. My friends loved it very much. The fish was tender and well cooked. The roasted potatoes were all soaked in the sauce and oil. The asparagus on the risotto sparked this main dish! Although we were so full after the main courses, we still couldn’t resist the charms of French dessert. I really enjoyed this dinner in Paris cause you can see Chez Michel served extraordinary foods with seriousness and care, and their staff brought us joy with their hospitality and cheerful attitudes.

The food was delicious. The service staff was friendly although he did not speak much English. The atmosphere is nothing special, it's a modest French bistrot.

This was my second time dining at Chez Michel and it was still amazing. I really like the atmosphere of this restaurant as it has a local and neighbourhood feel. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was great. Highly recommend this place as it's off the beaten path and is a great local spot.
