L’angelus du canal

We had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was warm, attentive, and very professional. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making the whole meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! we would definitely come back next time we visit Paris!

Lovely service. Good value for the quality. Escargots starter very good, saucisson main so so, good sauce - my fault my ordering something I was unlikely to love. Nice pinot noir carafe. E60 for the quality is a good deal. Go ...

What a wonderful way to end the Paris portion of our trip! Such a cute, cozy restaurant with a delightful father and son duo running it. The food was delicious, especially the escargot - a must try!

This is the kind of elusive restaurant you're always hoping to find: unpretentious and just authentically excellent across the board. Succulent homemade food (best & most unique escargot I've ever had) & wine, nice ambiance, and good service. A gem!

When I saw this restaurant in google and their 4.9 out of 5 evaluation I was immediately curious and could not help but had some high expectations. We started with some starters and their snails recipe is the best I have ever tried. All seafood appetisers were so yummy and fresh, the bread was of a very good quality and same goes for the wine. Some of the main courses we ordered were: veggie burger for which my vegetarian friend really loved it and I went for octopus and ratatouille. I really loved the octopus, was juicy and delicious. I am a bit sceptical if it’s the perfect match with the ratatouille, but I still finish all my plate. The staff is extremely polite and good knowers of French cuisine and very welcoming to our group.

Great small bistro with nice atmosphere and lovely food. In my case herring, haddock, rhum baba. All very good. Host speaks excellent English and is very friendly and informative.

Lovely place and owners! The food was a mixed bag. The escargot was excellent, the meat, very chewy and loaded with fat.

I love this small neighborhood restaurant. Great food at a very reasonable price. I knew the owner, Phillippe, when he had his restaurant in Singapore. L'angelus du Canal was like visiting an old friend.

After many and successful Singaporean pilgrimages, Gabriel de Balasy and Philippe Hoyez return to the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin for a successful bistronomic come-back. Nice and wide choice of appetizers that do not exceed 10 euros (except for scallops and foie gras, normal!), juggling between the french regions, with the snails of Burgundy, socca from Nice or Provence with artichokes "barigoule".   But it is the asparagus that I tested with an original declination as they are proposed first in section (fairly classic) but also in very thin strips marinated with lemon. We bounce well on the Hollandaise sauce that embellishes everything.   The snails are individually pot covered with a fine toasted bread crumbs.   It is more in the dishes that one feels an Asian influence of the Singaporean restaurant with the Kampot pepper that perfumes the pad of rump steak or the shitake risotto with herbal juice. But my choice felt on an astonishing risotto of sweetbreads. Difficult mix because two "fat" products, one in its texture, the other in its mode of cooking, completed with cream. But the whole is harmonious, without heaviness. We can simply regret a slight over-cooking of the rice. Not the chef's incompetence, but the obligation to adapt to a clientele who does not know how to eat a real risotto, with a crunchy heart. Do not hesitate to say that you are a true amateur and that you want your rice just cooked, the kitchen will make your day ...   Very classic scallops with just cooked vegetables. We succeed them or not. There, it's perfect.   How do we recognize a restaurant? To the ability to offer desserts made "to order" and commanded at the beginning of the meal. In this case, a "Famous Paris-Brest" is worth the detour. Excellent crème mousseline praliné, puff pastry was crunchy, not at all this soft symptomatic products made too long in advance and which moisten in the fridge. A beautiful thing!   To all this is added a pleasant terrace in summer, a quiet street, a shop nearby that will serve a few glasses "in the meantime", a good service. Our owners are good drinkers so more than efficient wine choices.   So a nice table to discover near the Canal Saint-Martin.
