L’angelus du canal

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

An amazing place. We travelled all around Paris going to some great restaurants and on our last night decided to try somewhere local to where we were staying. So funny that the one place we hadn’t planned on going to was the best! Food was incredible, the D’escargo starter and Scallop main course highlights, atmosphere and friendly staff were brilliant. One of the best meals we’ve ever had - will be going back every time!

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.

A charming little French restaurant with food as delightful as the company. Came for the cuisine, stayed for ambiance. A great place to spend Saint Valentin's weekend.

The food was incredible and the family who own the restaurant were very kind and friendly

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at l'Angelus du Canal, and i must say, it was really exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was top-notch and the food....oh the food !!! Every bite was a masterpiece. I highly recommend to my followers to try this perfection of flavors. I will definitely be back in April. 5 stars is not enought- i'd give 10 if i could. Salomon Alain .

Amazing place with very tasty wine and food. We ordered two different starters and mains and everything was superb. Very nice and friendly owners. The place is a bit far away from the centre but if you arrive at Gare de l'Est or Gare du Nord it is absolutely worth to stop here and enjoy the food!

Food were really good, really friendly staff

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.
