Galanga par Monsieur George

A hidden gem inside the beautiful Monsieur George hotel. The atmosphere is elegant and luxurious, perfect for a special night out or a quiet, upscale escape. The food was absolutely delicious, with refined flavors and beautiful presentation. The staff were kind, attentive, and made the whole experience feel extra special. Thanks to chef Danigo & team! Highly recommend!

We were looking for a Michelin-starred restaurant open on a Saturday, and this one seemed like the best option. While the experience was fine, we expected more from a starred establishment. I would rate it as 3.5. Out of the four Michelin-starred restaurants we tried during our trip, this was the only one that didn’t fully meet our expectations. It was also the only one where the clientele was mostly non-local. The cuisine is a fusion of French and Asian influences, with flavors that can be surprising or unfamiliar. Some dishes were excellent, while others were quite average. The service felt impersonal, which is disappointing for a restaurant of this level. There were also many small details that, unfortunately, didn’t live up to the standards one expects from a Michelin-starred experience. The chef was not there which might explain the experience.

Galanga, Paris. This was a spontaneous second visit to this cosy one star restaurant in the wonderful “Monsieur George Hotel” in Rue Washington Paris. Finding the city at 2nd of May with 28 degrees warmer than the city of Athens which we have left in the morning, this spontaneous change of plan led to a wonderful culinary journey that well fit to the spectacular Suite we moved in for the next three nights. I love it when the single dish evolves while you eat it and the first “nice” grows into a “wow” with every bite you take. Time well spent, and a wonderful dinner accompanied by a fine and solid selection of French wines of the wine pairing we ordered with the 9 course menu. Monsieur Gorge and Galanga, you shouldn’t visit the one without taking advantage of the other. And if you spend a night in the hotel then don’t hesitate to go for the Junior Suite on the sixth floor. We were told Tom Cruise slept here once while he was in Paris, but having your Champagne on the cosy balcony while overviewing the city and facing Sacré Cœur in the distance and walking to the other side of the Suite to take a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower gives you the feeling that Tom Cruise at this moment would even more wish to be there than you wishing to meet him here. And one last word about the food, although I rarely focus on a specific dish. For me, after almost 3 years of living in Greece, cucumber is heavily related to Greek Salad or Tsatsiki. Finding it in the pre dessert with ice cream instead of tomato and feta or joghurt and garlic was a little of a surprise. For me it seemed impossible to find an angle for a nice photo and, let’s put it that way, the ice cream was perfect.

Galanga par Monsieur George is a captivating blend of Michelin level innovation and refined comfort. Chef Danigo’s cuisine highlights local ingredients and Asian-inspired techniques in an elegant, intimate space. Ideal for special evenings or fine dining enthusiasts seeking something fresh yet polished. It’s highly recommended, though guests should remain open-minded: quality and service are mostly outstanding, with a small risk of variability.

One of my favourite michelin star experiences, and there have been many! Food was superb & service efficient but also fun

The food and service on New Years Eve was exceptional. Everyone made us feel welcome and Galanga was a haven in amongst the chaos of the Champs Elysees on NYE. We particularly loved our sommelier who paired wine perfectly for the incredible menu. If you’re looking for something special, then this is the place to go!

Every second of the experience was truly perfection from the moment we stepped through the door. The food was imaginative but without pushing things beyond the point of absurdity - each ingredient was able to shine, while still being elevated in a tasteful way. The service was impeccable and all of the staff were extremely friendly, professional but also welcoming and it didn’t feel like a stuffy experience. The decor is really stunning and doesn’t have too many tables. I would give more stars but it only allowed me to do five. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Very, very popular and nice place. Very tasty France cousin .Michelin restaurant. Highly recommend. My piece of advice is to book it in advance.
