Jòia par Hélène Darroze

Very warm and relaxing environment, friendly and fun service, didn’t catch the name of our waiter but seemed like it was his first experience in such a restaurant and we appreciated it! And the food was very tasty, shared the fish which was more than enough. Unfortunately was too full for dessert but they had many good choices. Ask for the corner sofa if you are a party of 2, seemed like the best spot to enjoy the experience. Not even that pricy for such a restaurant in the middle of Paris. Straight As all around!

Outdated design, it wasn’t a cozy. In the second floor was reserved so the kitchen was pretty busy and waiting time of our order was longer than expected. We ordered the beef with potatoes and sauce and it was delicious 😋 but wanted more salad and in the menu this dish for two people but it wasn’t enough. Staff was hard to catch to make order and pay at the end but the meat was good and I’m upset that i didn’t try any dessert because now I have read many good reviews

It’s my second time there and I have never been disappointed. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the desserts. Portions are quite generous, the flavours are immaculate. The cocktail drinks are also very nice! I absolutely love their margaritas. The service is impeccable. The waiters are very nice, polite, warm and welcoming. They are very professional and customer oriented! The whole vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect. It was nice, warm and welcoming. I absolutely love and recommend this restaurant! Will definitely comeback again!

If you've read bad reviews of this place and wondered whether to go, I realty recommend you put them aside and go, just like we did. It was a lovely evening, the staff were very friendly and made every effort to make us feel welcome. They tried their best to translate where needed too. The food was great and for a restaurant of this calibre very good value too. You wouldn't find food like this for these prices in London! My razor clams were sweet and delicious and the slow cooked veal was just delicious. Make sure your leave room for dessert though, my chocolate cup was fabulously decadent and my wife's meringue (pictured) looked really nice too. We're certainly glad we gave it a go. I would definitely go again.

We came for dinner on a Saturday night. We loved the atmosphere and service - attentive without ever getting obsequious or stuffy. The food was nice but maybe not quite as interesting or memorable as we would have liked - unfortunately they had run out of the octopus which is the dish we all wanted!

Very good appetizers, especially the œuf parfait with an emulsion of yellow wine and the scallop carpaccio bottarga and peppered foie gras slice. The yellow chicken main with foie gras laced in was very good too. We had an excellent white wine to go with it but in the end do not give a five as the price performance did not make the cut. It was not the standout experience we hoped but very good nonetheless. The desserts were excellent.

Desserts were excellent. The rest was ok and probably a bit too expensive for what it is…. The place, atmosphere is really nice. Service is ok

Could have been better. Food with very good quality product and the usual "gourmand" touch of H Darozze...nothing to say on that side. A bit pricey...but seems to be a Paris trend also. Although to be aware the plates are quite decently sized....so don't go for the starter, main and dessert....you'll die. So when you know that....it's not too bad. The waiter should help you on that, or the menu should maybe explain that, would be easier. Very London style in fact, they're pushing you to grab a side with the courses? why? not necessary at all. You'll be full in two minutes. Beware the insanely outreageous expensive list of wines....they jump 10 eur start at low 27, then 45+, then 55....then ...etc. For a place with no pretention to be clearly starred, you would have hoped a bit more little producer wines, decently priced. Cocktails are 15 too, no way. So when you move around finding the best wine deal and share plates...you'll be on the OK-ish. It's clearly tourist oriented (the Hoxton hotel is 20 meters away). One very bad mark, but very bad.....had to wash my cardigan straight after leaving the place. the isolation of smell is so bad that you're smell like a "short rib"....that needs to be seriously give some thought....no way you can go out to Hotel Costes straight after...as this seems to be the direction of the place. A mix feeling here....bistronomie food made for trendy tourist? not sure...better to stick on one side, or the other, but not the middle.
