La Rôtisserie d'Argent

A French friend recommended this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed a fantastic meal — the escargots were rich and perfectly cooked, the duck terrine was outstanding, and both the half chicken and duck confit were juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and polite, making the experience even better. The location is excellent as well, right by the River Seine and just a short walk from Notre-Dame Cathedral. Highly recommended!

Had the greatest dinner with my husband a few nights ago. The staff were welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. We had some fun banter with them between courses, which made our night even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely amazing, and the greatest meal we have ever tasted. Tour d'Argent is expensive, no doubt, but the experience, the flavours - and the stunning view - is well worth it. We will definitely be back in future

Jeremy made good recommendations and looked after us. The food was amazing and the wine even better. Will definitely come back. We felt like vips . Merci x

We went here with friends for dinner. We wanted something with high quality french favorites, with a twist and a view. We had the escargot for appetizers, terrine de canard. For the plate I had the poulpe with grilled vegetables and chickpea mousseline (which came with a twist of fresh raspberry sauce). We had the dessert of the day (pistachio) to finish up. We were seated on the terrace on the bridge overlooking Notre-Dame Cathedral. I was in awe with the staff and how the servers dodged traffic walking back and forth from the restaurant. Highly recommend if you are looking for classic Parisian dishes made with precision and flair.

The best roast duck I have ever tried in my life! Crispy skin and buttery soft, melt in your mouth meat. Steak was equally delicious. Absolutely recommend! Table and seating arrangements were a little tight but food made the experience worth it.

They know what they do and do it good. You can find there some classic of the french cuisine. Well cooked, good seasoning. The atmosphere is very french bistro with a good quality service. My beef Filet was perfectly cooked and the pepper sauce was divine. Super crispy french fries. The bread basket with there own baguette is the kind of details that make the difference. I highly recommend the place.

Superb lunch at a very reasonable price in a delightful part of Paris. We had the Poulet Roti which didn't disappoint and were well looked after by some charming staff. Highly recommended.

This brasserie is a gem for authentic classic French cuisine. Located next to a Michelin-starred restaurant under the same ownership, it offers an exceptional dining experience with beautifully crafted classic French dishes. We enjoyed the s Egg starter, duck and beef, both of which were absolutely delicious. The egg dish was especially stunning—a true work of art. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a taste of traditional French flavors at the highest level!

Un lieu classique. Un service impeccable et une cuisine traditionnelle parmi les plus raffinées encore disponibles à Paris. Ceux qui n'ont pas goûté leur poulet rôti ont une vie encore inachevée. Le prix, lui aussi, est très raisonnable.

Great service and great food in a classic French bistro atmosphere. The duck confit was delicious, as were the potatoes it came with. Our party also tried the roast chicken, which was well-liked. Chocolate mousse was perfect- not too sweet. The floating island, a very classic dessert, was also very good.

Walking into the restaurant that was recommended by a friend, I immediately thought "tourist trap" judging by the fact that everyone was American. Inside the interior is worn and could be a little cleaner. The service was uneven. The menu is comprised of basic French bistro dishes like roast duck, chicken, etc. Not a big duck eater to the chagrin of my date, I chose the roast chicken and mashed potatoes. The roast chicken was average in taste. The mashed potatoes were some of the best mashed potatoes ever. They were so buttery, and the gravy was divine. We split a huge chocolate mousse for dessert that again was average. Overall-come here for the mashed potatoes and maybe the duck.

We enjoyed dinner at La Rotisserie during our last night in Paris. A bistro associated with the adjacent Michelin-starred Tour D'Argent (currently closed for renovations), we enjoyed delicious dishes and great service at this special place. To start our meal, we had the Duck Foie Gras with Red Port, Cherry Chutney and Hibiscus. It was outstanding. Rich and flavorful. The cherry chutney was the perfect accompaniment to the wonderful foie gras. Our main courses were the Pork Belly with Shiitake Mushrooms and Ginger Carrot Mousseline, and the Duck Confit with Sardalaise Potatoes. The pork belly paired with the mushrooms and ginger carrots was so good! An odd combination, definitely, but the ginger carrot mousseline was just amazing. Boyfriend said the duck was the best he's had in Paris, and he had a lot of duck dinners! Moist and tender, with a rich sauce. We paired our meal with a nice bottle of Beaujolais. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, checking on us frequently. There are outdoor tables across a busy street overlooking the Seine, and waiters would run back and forth, dodging traffic, to cater to guests seated there. It was windy when we visited, so we decided to sit on their indoor patio and enjoy the views from there. This was a wonderful "au revoir" to Paris. We look forward to visiting Tour D'Argent on a future visit!

It's amazing how many people on Google keep associating this place with La Tour Da Argent across the street. Myself included, which is how I wound up here... So here we were, my wife, unhappy with me expecting a Michelin star restaurant with a beautiful view and ending up in a quaint corner cafe. The staff is gracious and far more professional than most places in Southern California. But when you have certain expectations and get something else, you're bound have trouble. All and all this was entirely my fault and not anyone else's. The menu is very small and basic. They're big on selling the dishes for two. Sadly my wife was not interested My wife had the sea bass. Which she didn't finish. And I had the duck confit which is a very common dish in France I suppose. It was good and properly done but I wouldn't say that it was far more exceptional than the many other places that serve duck confit in Paris. Service was attentive. But overall I can only say that this is a rather typical French Cafe experience. The locals seem to like it alot though. .

Great service and good food. The noisey atmosphere is not for everyone but the delicious food sure is.

The food is utterly without rival. The service is attentive, friendly, and courteous. And the ambiance is warm, inviting, and fun. It is our favorite restaurant in Pars--and that's quite a statement. We look to celebrate special occasions there. The duck is unsurpassed. The potatoes are historic. The wine list is thoughtfully paired with the menu. La Rotisserie is where I would choose to have my last meal before the guillotine, though I hope no time soon. Scott Simon

We had high expectations of this place. I am a big fan of their sister restaurant across the street. We ordered the roasted chicken, steak and fries, and the whole duck for two. The first courses came out quickly. Then, there was a long wait for the main entrees. After 45 - 60 mins later, entrees can out. The chicken was dry, the steak was dry, and the duck was under seasoned. I suspected that they cooked the chicken and the steak first. Waited for the duck to finish cooking before bringing everything out. We were too disappointed to even stay for the duck legs. We left hungry and tired.

My husband & I went here one of the nights of our honeymoon & absolutely loved it! Highly recommend making a reservation as it was very busy. The food was OUTSTANDING & our server was the sweetest girl. Everyone made our dinner absolutely amazing & the restaurant was adorable and picture perfect. We had the escargot, duck & steak and fries. We talk about this meal all the time! Can't wait to go back one day!

Tour D'Argent was on my bucket list of restaurants. We made our reservation on line thinking we were going to eat at this storied restaurant, but no, we ate at Rotisserie. Decent food with ok service but this is a scam. A cafe not a world class eaterie. Try to book the original on line and you will see what I mean. Obviously a bait and switch. We will visit some great Michelin Star restaurants on our next visit to Paris and will never return to either of these same owned restaurants. BS is BS.

WOW. Go here and get the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes. Just trust me. We tried the chicken at multiple places and everywhere was very good, but this one was the best. Amazing location and great service.

The food (duck confit and potatoes) was delicious. The wine (the house Graves) was the best wine we had on our trip. The service was attentive and friendly. So what went wrong? 1. There was no itemized bill. The manager simply approached us with the card reader and pointed it at us with the total amount. 2. The bill seemed high, but I didn't question it at the time. 3. The manager asked if we wanted to leave a tip and suggested 20%. We agreed. That triggered a soft alarm in my head, given standard French practices regarding service charges, but I didn't protest. 4. I didn't realize it until later, but he actually charged us 30%. Thinking about it later, I am sure that the bill already included the service charge, but because we were not given an itemized bill I had no way to check. I also suspect that not everyone is approached for a 20% tip, and if it was on top of the standard service charge, that is a serious problem. Finally, the manager adding a 30% tip might have been an honest mistake, but the bill presentation overall left me feeling that we had been "touristed." I wrote to management about our experience, but did not receive a response, let alone an explanation or apology. If you go, demand to see the bill and politely refuse any effort to solicit a tip beyond the standard service charge. I was a sucker, but you don't have to be.

Three of us went for the early seating at 7 PM on New Year's Eve. The service was fantastic. We had received repeated calls about whether we were actually going to show up, but I understand that because lots of people no-show. The host was lovely. The waiter was great. It might not have been the best choice of a restaurant for us because none of us are big meat eaters. I had the half chicken. It was okay. I was very impressed that my mostly non-meat eating 15 year old niece had the veal kidneys and enjoyed it! Not the best meal we had in Paris but certainly a lovely meal.

When I'm in Paris, I reserve a table at La Rotisserie. I've been lunching there since the days of Beaujolais, the cat that used to commandere a spot on the banquette closest to the kitchen. Those days are long gone, but a table at the window is still the perfect place to relax and watch the world go by while enjoying a delicious meal. The Ile Flottante is not to be missed.

Unbeliveable all around!!! Food, drinks ambiance and service were all top notch!! Highly recommend!! 10 of 10!!

My wife and I had the most wonderful evening at La Rotisserie on Saturday night. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome and the happy vibe and warm ambience continued until we left. The egg mayonnaise was epic, the signature duck sublime and the Ile Flottante big enough to live on! The Director recommended the Sancerre Pinot Noir to accompany the duck which was a perfect choice. Monsieur 'Chabade ' was very entertaining and made our meal really enjoyable. Nigel JACKSON

Excellent execution of classic French savory dishes. Clean open kitchen. Lovely country-like venue. Service was spirited and well-intentioned but slow and at turns incompetent. Prices are relatively high given the lack of culinary innovation--a roast chicken is a roast chicken--- and uneven service.

We discovered La Rotisserie many years ago and now come every time we are in Paris. The food is excellent (especially the mashed potatoes!). (And the ile flottant!). But what always draws us back is the warmth we feel as soon as we enter and the personal service we are provided by your staff. Please don't change a thing.

Classic French cuisine and wine in a beautiful setting, great service, highly recommend!

mediocre food, at a very high price. Too many dried fries. no sauce, just a slap of fatty meat.

Location away from the crowds is quite good as is the ambiance. The waiter was a bit stiff as was the maitre d'. It felt a bit like they were doing me a favor. I ordered the eggs which were fine and nicely presented. I was given a large carafe of water upon request and a basket of good bread. So that was all good. I agree that the wine selection needs improvement and the waiter might ask if you would like wine with your meal if you have only had an aperitif so far. Maybe it's a French thing but by the time he circled back around, it was too late in the game to order another glass anyway. The poulet was not good. The breast was way, way overcooked and dry. The most expensive meal I have had in Paris and the least satisfying. If you speak French, perhaps you'll get a better result. Hard to say. 48 Euros. Not overpriced but I didn't receive the value or the enjoyment for the money. First disappointing meal in France two weeks on.

Lovely and unpretentious restaurant. Service was efficient and very knowledgeable. Food was a refreshing update on classic bistro dishes. Also highly recommend a morning visit to their bakery next door!

Excellent food. We ordered the escargot, duck confit and pork belly. All were excellent. The server was cheerful and helpful. We sat at the table closest to the street (but still inside) and it was entertaining.

Had an amazing meal here with my wife while visiting Paris. My aunt fro Ireland who had eaten here before recommended the restaurant to us. The staff was welcoming and warm, the food was wonderful. The chicken incredible, and the creme brûlée for desert to die for!

Delicious food and very nice ambiance. The host was fantastic and very helpful. The half chicken and potatoes were delicious. This is a must when visiting Paris in a very nice location. We really enjoyed it.

My boyfriend and I had the chicken and the duck, it tasted wonderful, especially since this was our first meal of the day, unfortunately we both got horrible food poisoning. We have been sick for two days now.

My husband and I went to this restaurant a few years ago and thought the duck and escargot were amazing! Our waiter was funny, efficient and informative. Of course, we ordered wine, but we also ordered a big bottle of water. I loved the bottle so I decided to take it home with me. It had pink writing on it and I like pink. When I walked out the door, the Maitre D' stopped me on the sidewalk and asked what I had in my bag. I said the duck I could not eat and my water bottle. He told me that the water bottle was theirs and I couldn't have it. I gave it back, but I thought it a little bizarre. This year, we returned to Paris and were remembering this fabulous meal when we wanted to celebrate my husband's birthday. We both love duck, and we thought, why not go back? This time we would remember that it was "interdict" to take the bottle our water came in after the waiter opened it and we finished it. We were able to secure reservation, but a few days before the date of our dinner, I received an email from the restaurant stating that if we each did not have the French "pass sanitaire" app showing that we had been vaccinated for Covid-19, they could not allow us to eat there. I called the restaurant and stated that we each had our vaccination cards issued by the CDC in the U.S. and that we had used these cards for the last 3 weeks to go to any restaurant we had wanted to go to, as well as go through immigration at the Charles de Gaulle Airport. The woman taking my call raised her voice and said that they were not the police and they did not know if they were valid, and they would only accept the app. She said that you can easily get it at any drugstore. To make a long story short, suffice it to say that after going to five pharmacies, none of them could give us the French "pass sanitaire." Each told us to go to a different place to get it. When I went to the French government website which states the requirements for admission to restaurants and other public places, it clearly states that an official paper document from another country showing Covid-19 vaccination is sufficient. FYI, my husband and I have each had 3 Pfizer vaccinations. Nevertheless, we tried to get the app, and it required the submission of 3 photos of documents: (1.) your passport; (2.) CDC vaccination card; and (3.) a copy of your plane ticket. Since we had already been in the country for 3 1/2 weeks, we no longer had our tickets on our phone. All we had on-line was our receipt for our tickets showing date, flight number, and seat assignment. The app would not accept the receipt. So, if you want to eat in THIS this restaurant, I hope that you read this review first, because although I think you can probably eat in all the other restaurants in Paris, you can't eat in THIS one, unless you comply with the drill sergeant maitre D's edicts, which are separate from the government's. Yes, I am a former trial lawyer, but also a gourmand, and I really appreciated this food. My husband said a few days ago he had no desire to go anymore because of their attitude, but I had a picture of my husband's smiling face on my phone at this restaurant as my wallpaper for the past 3 years, and I just couldn't let it go. When our daughter called today to wish my husband a happy birthday, she said "Don't go, Mom, they will probably spit in your food. I used to work in a restaurant." In the end, I fixed duck confit, mashed potatoes, a green salad and provided an exquisite bottle of burgundy, and my husband I are both very happy.

Great service in a great location. Great, casual atmosphere. But the food is extremely mediocre and very over-priced for what you get. I'm t benefits from its loos association with Tour d'Argent but isn't really worth going out of your way for unless you're in the neighborhood -- and don't mind paying up for sub-par food. There are far better places on the Left Bank and in Paris more generally.

Wonderful restaurant - excellent food, warm and friendly welcome, highly recommend

Informed my waiter that the chicken (which is what they want to be known for) was dry and overcooked. Not only did he not acknowledge or apologize, he got demonstrably obnoxious afterwards. I informed the maitre d who told me I wasn't the first to complain about the overcooked chicken and that he has been having complaints about the waiter too. Didn't adjust the bill though. Please pick one of the other ten thousand restaurants in Paris.

I wish these sites would allow zero stars. this would get negative stars. horrible food poisoning from the chicken. told restaurant and they didn't even acknowledge my email and didn't seem to care. spent two days in french emergency room. awful sickness. broke neck vertebrae. may need neck surgery from passing out due to food poisoning. I would never ever eat here again and I wouldn't even tell my worst enemy to eat here. What was most awful was the restaurant didn't even care when I told them what happened. no response at all.

Food was very good; however the service was mediocre as our waitress spilled our water and did not clean it up, was coughing everywhere and was not that attentive. Also we had the very distinct impression from all of the staff that we were not welcome there. It was very strange but we are very nice polite guests (was it because we were American? Or that I tried to speak French?) and felt very unwelcome, would almost say rude. Very disappointing with the very very costly menu. Would not recommend or return.

The sea bass was very good, but the entree's were lukewarm and service was just ok. It does have a fun atmosphere, but with so many good choices probably wouldn't go back.

Excellent food , the fish was beautifully cooked with lovely flavours . The mushroom starter too was memorable

Amazing food and service. The eggs were devine and we loved the roasted chicken. The chef, Sebastien Devos, even came by our table and greeted us. A perfect Parisian low key dining experience.

Excellent meal. Roast half chicken, roasted potatoes and fresh roasted vegetables. Outstanding meal. Perfect flavors in the chicken, the vegies and roasted potatoes were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Best place in the River to eat near Notre Dame

Delicious food, attentive and friendly staff and we had a table on the terrace with a beautiful view of the river!

We booked a table outside near the river and it was amazing. The fries tasted like In-N-Out fries. We had two different orders of duck and they were great. This is one of the top restaurants in my book in Paris.

I was anticipating this meal after reading so many reviews. Really good service, very French, and quaint. I ordered the radish and butter appetizer with no idea if I was supposed to spread butter on the radish. I then had the squab for my main course. It was tiny! But good. But I was still hungry afterwards. The deserts were all very good. A very nice evening with friends and family and would recommend to visit this restaurant.

Delicious meal - salad with baby artichokes and stuffed chicken breast in mushroom cream sauce. Attentive service, reasonable pricing. Would definitely return.

What can I say, I love this place! While living in Paris this is the place I take my visiting friends and family to. It's a nice space--clean and pretty but not over the top--with wonderfully friendly service, and they're more than willing to speak in English for my friends who don't speak French. Everything they cook is wonderful. I've become a little addicted to the simple but very fresh radishes with chive butter and sea salt, and I looooove their duck confit. Sides I've tried are the seasonal veggies and purred potatoes. Mmmmm. Lovely affordable wine list too!

Tres Bien!! The roast chicken with buttery mashed potatoes is humongous and won't disappoint! We also loved the desserts (ask for what's best) and they had great wine recommendations. They have really sweet waiters and a friendly neighborhood cat that comes in the restaurant. There were some annoying American families here with children who were sort of loud, but it didn't distract us too much. As long as you're polite, I don't think you'll be grouped with them, and you could tell they really appreciated nice Americans who tried to speak French! We went here for our anniversary - it's not the cheapest restaurant - but it's also affordable. One thing they're missing - fresh fruits and vegetables. If you're looking for that, don't come here!

This is a cozy little restaurant along the banks of the Seine. It was fully packed the night we went, so it looks like reservations are your best bet. The crowd on the night we went seemed to be mostly English speaking, so it was perhaps a bit louder than other restaurants we dined at. The wait staff were all very friendly I had the gigantic serving of mashed potatoes and a half chicken. While both were really good, I had some roasted chicken and potatoes a few nights before from a street vendor and I preferred it over the Beaujolais version. My mom had the Veal and enjoyed it. For dessert I had the Tarte Tatin, like the chicken, the serving was huge. It was good, but was served cold, I wish it had been warm. My mom's creme brulee was yummy. Overall while I was not blown away by the meal, it was good for the area it is in and made for a nice walk after dinner.

This restaurant was very well recommended by David Lebovitch. I was a touch disappointed with the flavour of the Cannel and the roasted chicken! The chicken wasn't very tender as well. The waiters were great and it is a nice restaurant. We each choose a dessert and were not disappointed.

This was a disappointing experience. We had a 2 pm reservation. The restaurant was quite slow. Clearly the rush was over and staff was changing. We never had a waiter. Our service was an after thought for three people. It was lackluster. We were never offered more to drink. We had to ask. The food wasn't awful, but it too was lackluster. Roasted potatoes were tasty, but cold. My chicken was dry. The duck confit was tough. All dishes lacked seasoning. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. There are many fine bistros in Paris. Many serve a better meal.

I have been going to this restaurant for so long that I still remember the house cat which ambled along the backs of the banquettes & the lovely open grill which tantalized with the odor of roasting meats. I book a table each time I'm in Paris. However, my visit one week ago was less than stellar and sadly, disappointing. First, the menu was so limited - no duck, no fois gras, which I politely mentioned to the waiter whose reply was merely "things change". My half chicken was very good, though the accompanying roasted potatoes were soggy and seemed as though they'd been sitting for a long time. My young granddaughter ordered a chicken Cesar salad -not what I would have considered a French bistro dish, but the use of fresh croutons would have been preferable to obviously pre-packaged ones. Our waiter was pleasant though service was not as attentive as past visits. I will return one more time in the hopes that we experienced an "off" night. But the menu really must be expanded to it's prior glory!

The staff here are fantastic, very personable and friendly. The chicken and roasted potatoes were delicious and so was the wine. A great place for local cuisine at reasonable prices. We highly recommend this restaurant for those interested in a more casual dining experience.

We sought out Rotisserie d'Argent on our second visit to Paris, and it is thus far our favorite meal we've had in the city! Every course knocked it out of the park, as did the service. We had friendly waiters at every second, who made us comfortable from the moment we sat down! To start, we had the deliciously creamy quenelles, and my husband and I each ordered the Challans chicken for our main...the chicken was roast to perfection paired with such a delicious broth/sauce. We each requested their crispy, sauteed potatoes on the side...in our opinion, the potatoes were the star of the show. Each bite with caramelized onion, YUM. The couple at the table next to us had the mashed potatoes which looked quite delectable as well. We ended the evening with their Paris Brest praline pastry. A MUST. Sweet and salty, creamy and crunchy, all in one. I wish we had ordered two! Last but not least, their online reservation process was very simple, and the restaurant was great about communicating the confirmation, which was appreciated! Thanks Rotisserie d'Argent...we will be coming back next time!

Reviews 8/29/17 Diane L Restaurant Le Rotisserie D'Argent 19 Quai de la Tournelle 75005 Paris Adorable authentic French restaurant where sumptuous scents intoxicate and simple daily specials delight the palate! It was a late Tuesday night and I believe all other diners were Parisians. The wine was perfect. The service could not have been more accommodating. We had just arrived with too few Euros, we unwittingly discovered an error with our credit card. We were mortified! The host was not; unflappably and kindly offered to escort me around the block to an ATM at 11:15 PM as though this sort of thing wasn't unusual! They then assisted us in calling a cab. Merci Le Rotisserie!
