Jaïs

This has become my favorite restaurant in Paris. After our first visit, we came back several times. The presentation is very creative and the food is absolutely delicious. The staff is polite, attentive, and welcoming. We visited both with a reservation and without one, and each time they managed to find a table for us, which was very kind and appreciated. We also ordered some special dishes that are not listed on the menu but can still be requested. One of them is the “Eiffel Tower”, their signature dish with steak, foie gras, lobster, and caviar. It was incredibly tasty and very filling. The pasta with red caviar is outstanding, and the beef tartare with bone marrow is exceptional, rich, and perfectly balanced. Desserts are also amazing. The chocolate mousse is excellent, the lemon tart is fresh and flavorful, and my absolute favorite is their madeleine. It is not a classic madeleine but a special version with a unique presentation, and it is truly delicious. Highly recommended. We will definitely come back again.

Classic French restaurant with amazing selection of high quality fish and meat. We had bone marrow and entrecôte to share, and chocolate mousse for dessert. Everything was 10/10. Amazing friendly and quick service. Will for sure come back!

I would like to share my honest experience… My husband and I came here for Valentine’s Day after seeing this place many times on Instagram and TikTok. I ordered the “chef’s pasta” with ham and black caviar, which was recommended by the waitress when I asked her to choose between two options. The dish was not listed in the menu, and no price was mentioned. When we received the bill, we were shocked to see that the pasta cost €165, bringing our total to €279 for two people. This dish is absolutely not worth that price — it was simply a creamy pasta with ham and black caviar of questionable quality. €60 would have been a fair price at most. Recommending a dish without disclosing its price is unacceptable There was also no clear wine list by the glass, which makes pricing feel unclear and unprofessional. Additionally, the restroom was very dirty, which is surprising for a restaurant positioning itself at this level. To make matters worse, when we were leaving, one of the waiters rudely gestured us toward the exit, waving his hands in a dismissive way The restaurant itself is nice, and my husband’s meat dish was good. However, the lack of transparency, poor service, and cleanliness issues left us very disappointed. At this price level, professionalism, courtesy, and hygiene should be basic standards.

Honestly, this place truly lives up to the hype. The atmosphere is always vibrant and welcoming, with a crowd that feels effortlessly cool. While it sometimes takes a little time to get your table, that moment at the bar becomes part of the experience, sipping a drink, catching up with friends, or striking up a conversation with someone new. The staff are consistently warm and attentive, which only adds to the charm. As for the food, it never misses the mark. Over time I have tried nearly every dish on the menu, and each one has been outstanding, the desserts included. What makes Jaïs so special is the uniqueness of the flavors: the kind of dishes you instantly recognize as his, and ones you will not easily find elsewhere. It is on the pricier side, but the quality, creativity, and experience make it more than worth it.

Tables are too close to each other, you hear every conversation around. Not enough of staff to provide good service. Incredible food

The food is amazing and the stuff are very helpful and kind. The space however is very cramped unfortunately, as they have tried to fit as many people as possible. The music also doesn't fit that much to the whole vibe in my opinion, without being a deal-breaker

Jais came recommended and as we were a table of 7 and somewhat late in our reservation, we were relegated to the upper floor which was well stocked for the bohemian oenophile but the great vibe of the ground floor did not reach upstairs. The ribeye was excellent which was preceded by the bone marrow starter - a well matched combo! My request for mayo to accompany my ribeye and frites was met with derision. “We don’t do mayo but we can offer the bearniase”. The scolding from a glorified brassiere was comedic. David, our waitron was excellent until he was put under pressure and defaulted to the infamous French trait! Disappointing was the champagne pricing. No need for a brassiere to be charging like a wounded buffalo for what is supposed to be a local bubbly! The fare, though, is well worth a visit but ask for the ground floor.

That’s a fantastic place guys. Really they take simple things which you always have in mind you want to eat , but they cook it the way you get your dream. Amazing menu. Magicians they are !

We visit this restaurant when we come to Paris France and haven't disappointed but new experience with recent menus +++ Highly recommended

We came here without a reservation on a night when no one was inside. The waiter seated us and gave us menus in French even though he knew we spoke English. This is the first place we found this kind of snobbery. The sauces were good, but to be honest the meat was tough and gristled. The prices were high compared to the quality and the wines were just ok, and WAY over priced. It was kind of a disappointment. My rating would be higher for the food but the service was not welcoming. By dessert the waiter had "warmed up" to us and gave us menus in English. Always ask when you arrive.

Best food in Paris hands-down chef jais is an amazing chef if you are in Paris I suggest you make time you will not be disappointed I will be a fan of this for life I am I fan if this for life

Jaïs is an excellent restaurant that offers very good French cuisine. I discovered this place with a friend of mine who gets there time to time--a must go in Paris. I had their tartare surrounded by its green tomatoes--it was fresh and delicious. Their deserts were just amazing: I had their Paris Brest, which was fairly-sized, not too sweet, with a fair amount of cream. My friend had the tarte citron meringuée which was just impressive (see my pictures). As to the décor: we were outside, the restaurant has a few table on the sidewalk of a quiet and beautiful street. I did not go inside but will certainly do next time I am in Paris.
