Dessirier

The service here is incredible. Very attentive and friendly staff. The food is good and well executed, but lacked elevation as expected for restaurant of this caliber. We had the sea bass and scorpion fish, both of which were good, but not exceptional.

Service was very poor. Only 1 server for an entire section of 10 tables. The seafood tower was not thoroughly prepared. The seafood had sand in it. The boiled shrimps were difficult to peel and eat. The entrees were very salty. When these matters were raised with the head host, he said to 'go and write a review.'... Strongly NOT recommending.

Delicious high quality dishes. Staff is attentive and not uptight at all for a place like this. However, no alternatives offered to any allergies / celiac guests so that’s a one star minus.

The seafood is excellent especially the lobster tartare, perfect! The dessert is also distinct. The restaurant is just besides the metro and very convenient. The price is reasonable and the staff are very friendly.

Well, they seem to be under staffed as the service was a bit rush, was expecting a bit more attentive service for the price they charge. Food was great, especially the oysters. The Gillardeau here tasted noticeably better than other restaurants, may be they have exclusive access to certain top grade oysters that other restaurants cannot get??? Just my assumption.

The seafood platter was fine. The service was slightly absent minded as we had to remind several times about the drinks we had ordered. In the end I made two attempts to order cognac but both requests got lost somewhere and we got the bill instead.

Perfect meal , great ambience . Friendly,efficient service

Food was amazing. Was extremely pricey tho. Think I was overcharged for glass of wine. Was over 200euro for 2 people.

Recommended by hotel staff. The dining room was booked so we ate in the 'lounge' which was a room in the back of the restaurant. The food is very good here. We started with the Discovery Plate which consisted of 4 types of oysters (3 of each kind). They were all delicious. We shared the Dorado for 2. Just gorgeous. Cooked perfectly. Watch out even though it was filleted there were more than a few bones that were missed. Four stars for not putting our order in for the souffle. Delicious but waiting 30 minutes is totally unacceptable.

Wonderful service, and our food was even better. Our waiter gave good recommendations that accompanied how hungry we were. We started with the 6 oysters from Normandy, Martineli Macaroni with Brittany Lobster, Avocado Ceviche, and the Sea Bass with potatoes. Inside and Outside dining available. We did make a reservation as well.

We had our New Year's Eve dinner here at Dessirier. Was greeted promptly by the hostess upon entering and showed to our table. The restaurant is beautiful and gives a very intimate setting. Food was good, both the hostesses who served us were professional and friendly. We also had a lovely bottle of wine to go with our dinner. We paid approx 180 euros for the meal. If you're staying around in the 17th arrons, or at Le Meridien Etoile or Hyatt Regency Etoile, I would highly recommend Dessirier for a lovely meal in the neighborhood.

A favourite when we were living just across the way some years ago but a while since we last went..this time it was for an anniversary meal Easy to book; they recheck subsequently anyway to confirm. We were greeted warmly on arrival and taken to a very nice table out of the way of the hustle and bustle An excellent meal: a couple of rose bubbles to start with, we shared some smoked salmon, then dorade, merlan (delicious) washed down with a 1/2 of Pouilly and a 1/2 of red Sancerre followed by a pavlova - which I have to say was a little weird, nothing wrong with it but an odd construction. Finally coffee and they brought in a little plate of cakes with a candle! Service impeccable You don't need to ask if its pricey - it is A lovely evening all round - one to remember...I think I have a photo; will attach later

When arriving at Dessirier we are greeted by a smiling man in an apron at the door. This impression of bonhomie is the last warm, personal impression we will have of this very disappointing restaurant. It's one thing to treat American tourists badly; that's common, and indeed we were taken for tourists (we have lived in Paris and speak French) and were rudely treated - the waiter did not even bother telling us the specials, and we would not have known they existed if we had not seen the board shown to others, long after we had ordered our meal. Perhaps those specials were better than the average meal we were served. This is also the sort of place where the first wine recommended is 750 euros, and where the waiter turned up his nose when we "only" ordered a 250 euro bottle. Beyond the horrendous rudeness, this is just not a welcoming place nor worth your time in a city full of great dining options. I'm sure the cold, officious, stuffy feel is intended to create an impression of a temple of fine dining, but for that, the food must actually be spectacular. The food at Dessirier is adequate. There is an excellent selection of Bretagne and Normandy oysters, and the soufflé is lovely; that's the best I can say, but the service and overall feeling ruins those high points. Choose elsewhere - you can do so much better in Paris.

This is one of the best seafood restaurants in Paris. All seafood is extremely fresh of the highest quality, directly from Brittany and other parts of France. The sommelier does an excellent job to par each dish / meal with the best wines and champagne. The service is excellent and my husband and I strongly recommend Dessirier.

Fine dining, international atmosphere, oysters are a must. The atmosphere could be that of any fine dining restaurant in a big city. Oysters were perfect, notable size and tasty. Main plate was ok. White wine was great and the mousse au chocolate was the best I ever had. Next time we will double down on oysters at their outdoor bar facing the street with a bottle of champagne.

Great seafood restaurant, nice atmosphere, good service, very professional, surly I will revisit.

One of the best fish restaurant of Paris... Indeed if it is your first time here, well you need to go for the "Bar en croute de sel", a must!!! This is a slow cooked sea bass that is enclosed in a salt type of shell. This cooking technic makes the fish exceptionally tender and delicate. The salt actually doesn't remain on the fish, so don't be scared about the idea... The restaurant is very ,much classy and with the right wine pairing, you'll have a delightful moment.

The food was okay. The oysters were fresh. That's all I remember. Nothing that really stood out except for the chocolate souffle.

Six of us on the recommendation of a chef here in the states. We were not disappointed with the excellent preparation of our fish and the service. One of the best meals we had in a city known for it's food. Highly recommended. And 4 of the six of us consider ourselves "foodies"
