Le CasseNoix

Great service and atmosphere. The waiters were absolutely brilliant. Very limited veg options and none in the mains. They still managed to prepare a veg main. However, I'd rate the starters 10/10 and mains 6/10. Maybe their other dishes are better than the ones we ordered.

I stumbled across this excellent bistro walking to the metro from the Eiffel tower. The food was amazing. They start you off with bread, but also with a delicious spread. The cold pea soup was incredible - refreshing, delicious and had a surprise at-the-table pour. I also had the seared tuna which was excellent! I particularly loved the seared feta with it and the tomatoes were also excellent. I highly recommend!

Lovely three-course menu and friendly staff. The interior of the restaurant is memorable. The place is quite popular, so book your table online. Also: I read the negative reviews of the place and found them absolutely hilarious. Can’t stop laughing :D

Hit it 👍🏿. Had a really great experience with some friends. The service was great and my server let me take a look at a Michelin ⭐ book they at from 1900. Shared dishes and none of them disappointed.

Le CasseNoix was 10/10 from start to finish. The service was great and our server had a great sense of humor. We tried several things we have never had. Everything was outstanding!

An amazing Michelin restaurant in Paris with a 3 course meal! I recommend booking in advance. The waiters were extremely friendly and funny and the overall atmosphere was so cozy!

Nice bistro with simple and delicious food. Service is very friendly and attentive. One of our favorite restaurants in the neighborhood!

Short version: Le CasseNoix an unforgettable dining experience near the Eiffel Tower, offering extraordinary food, wonderful service, and true value in a city where that’s hard to find! Long Version: Paris isn’t the easiest place to dine, contrary to what many might think. Yes, it’s filled with restaurants—many of which claim to be exceptional—but too often you end up paying an eye-watering amount for food that’s, at best, average. But that was definitely not the case here. I dined here yesterday with my family, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience. For a price similar to what we paid at another restaurant recently (where the food was just mediocre), we were treated to a culinary journey that was beyond our expectations. The menu was refreshingly clear and concise, but the flavors and presentation of each dish were anything but simple—they were extraordinary. None of us knew exactly what to expect, so we each ordered something different, and not a single dish disappointed. Every bite was a delightful surprise, and you could tell just how much care and creativity went into each plate. Plus, being so close to the Eiffel Tower only added to the charm of the evening. Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was truly wonderful—attentive, warm, and welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that excels in both food and hospitality, especially in such a tourist-heavy area. A true gem in Paris—a place that lives up to its promises!!! Highly recommended!

Amazing is what I call Le Casse Noix! A very small yet quaint restaurant with a lot of details into the place. I see that the chef was a very Michelin driven by all the Michelin books that the on their high book shelves. Let's start by complementing the fresh baked bread and the duck liver pate spread... it was unbelievable on how it taste, I wanted to just pack the pate to go and have it for the next few days with my baguette. The first dish was a duck soup.. wow, wow, wow! Words can't describe on how the soup had tasted. The flavoring all came together with the duck, crispy duck floating in the soup. The beef dish was my next course. The beef was so tender & full of flavors to the beef. I couldn't believe beef could even cooked this tender and juicy, it was mind blown. The BEST part of all meal, THE DESSERT! The floating meringue... so effortless and so yummy to my tummy! It was so light and fluffy, I can't believe how light this meringue had tasted and how it hold up its structure! I wanted to indulged it all but I was so full from everything I tried to squeeze into my belly! This prefixed menu was probably the #1 on my help list! Highly recommend Le Casse Noix to anyone! Will be back once I visit Paris again!

My husband and I ate here for lunch on a Tuesday and were not disappointed! As tourists from the US, the staff treated us incredibly well and everyone was so kind. Our server and all of the waitstaff were friendly and accommodating (bringing us a menu in English as well)! When we were done, our server called us a cab to pick us up outside. The service was outstanding. When we were seated we got chicken pate with fresh bread. We got the "red meat salad" and chestnut soup for starters. We then got the beefsteak and potatoes and wild boar casserole for mains. For our dessert I got the cheese course and my husband got the sorbet. Everything was spectacular and delicious! The restaurant itself was quaint and welcoming. The decor was classic French and you can see the collection of nutcrackers if you look around. We recommend this restaurant and also wonder why it doesn't have a Michelin star! Superb!

This was the best meal we had in Paris. Although the restaurant is off the beaten path and vey unassuming in decor, the food will blow you away!

One of my favorite meals in Paris and our last meal. We had a reservation right at opening and the restaurant was empty (6PM). They kept getting calls about walk ins and numerous people tried to walk in - they were all rejected. So if you wish to come here, make sure you make a reservation! The servers knew English and even provided us English menus along with a chalkboard that showed the daily specials in English. That was super helpful. The only knock I have is that we asked for Sparking water and instead got still water (and you have to pay for water). The menu changes often, so I'm not really going to go into it much. But the food was great - I don't really think you can go wrong here. Be careful of your entrees, however. For example, my husband got a boar dish thinking it'd be cooked but it was a boar pate type dish with figs. Although it was good, those dishes are not for everyone. Additionally, you can ask for butter for your bread if you don't like the pate that it comes with and bread refills as well. Everything we had was tasty and my fish cost a few extra Euros, but ti was a pretty hefty amount of fish. Loved the desserts - perfectly balanced and tasty without being too sweet. 39 Euros per set menu with some choices costing additional euros. Overall, worth the trip to come here! We also walked back to the metro at night and passed by the Eiffel Tower on the way while it was lit up.

Our VRBO property manager recommended this restaurant close to our apartment ... I messaged ahead of time to make reservations for dinner the same day. Pros: - excellent value for prix fixe meal (entree-plat-dessert for 39 euros) - menu and specials available in English - beautifully plated food - food was overall delicious (highlights were the veal appetizer, beef entree, and chocolate "tarte" dessert Cons: - outdoor dining seemed a bit makeshift; plastic white chairs with not quite enough space for our table given the plantar boxes - service to take our order seemed unusually slow; only one waitress was able to take orders; the other two waiters could only serve food - most of the patrons seemed to be American surprisingly - need to make reservations; walk ins were turned away

Delicious food and great value! My husband and I went here on our honeymoon in France. We both ordered the "multi choice menu" that comes with an appetizer, main course, and dessert for €42. We both started with the chilled tomato soup, which was an excellent version of a gazpacho. For main courses we had the tuna special and the tomato farcie (tomatoes stuffed with beef). Everything was excellent and for only €42 it was a good deal, especially compared to all of the tourist trap cafés near the Eiffel Tower. But they are still friendly to tourists. I speak French but my husband only speaks English, and they asked us if we preferred an English menu.

Food and service are fantastic. Excellent spot for an evening meal within an easy walk to the Eiffel Tower.

Best meal we had in Paris. Food was very balanced, service was amazing and quick. Everything was very very good. And the pricing was VERY reasonable. $100 euros for dinner for two with two drinks and an espresso.

Of all the places we dined in Copenhagen and Paris, this place was my husband's favorite restaurant. I also enjoyed my "chef's special", as they kindly made vegan accommodations. I told them I would be happy to try anything that they can easily "veganize" from today's special. Starting off with their bread (and chicken liver mousse that came with it), each plate was a pleasant surprise!

Don't expect a lavish , extravagant looking place which I dislike anyway because to me, it's pretentious. This is a delightful, little Michelin star restaurant, a short walk from the Eiffel Tower. Cut to the chase: we had a great experience here with the staff, the service, price, drinks and food except.... The beef steak (tough and chewy) was wondering if it was a flank or skirt steak.

We (6 of us) had a wonderful dinner. The service was friendly, the atmosphere cozy, and the staff friendly and fun. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Honest bistro fare with good technique. Charming neighborhood spot, not fancy, but outstandingly executed bistro food. Very good ingredients, delicious preparations with some inventiveness but nothing too 'out-there' or strange Great value for the area (being near the Eiffel Tower). Good service, friendly, warm, and the chef even chatting with guests. Merci!

Extraordinary! Loved everything about this place. The service, the ambiance, the quality of the ingredients, the menu options, the friendly environment, all! I would go back a hundred times if I could. What a wonderful job chef Pierre is doing at this place. The only thing I would add to make it perfect is background music. 5 stars well obtained! See my pics for better reference.

OMG this place is amazing! The service, the food, the price you cannot beat this ! We were a bit nervous when we saw the menu but we ordered and it was amazing! The bread with the spread was Amazing! I could continue to mention how amazing every plate was but you should definitely try it for yourself! I definitely recommend stopping by this restaurant in Paris . It was the best one we tried! We went during lunch hour 1:30 pm. It is reservations only so make sure to book as soon as you can !

one of the best meals I've had in pairs.. and that's including a two-star Michelin restaurant! an incredible meal from start to finish. the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was perfect. the environment was casual (which i liked) and was really comfy and homey. the menu is relatively limited, which is pretty common in France, since everything is very fresh. it's a prix fixe menu for a great deal! i think it's 39 euros for an outstanding meal, including a starter, entree, and dessert. i decided to try a lot of the specials that cost a couple of extra euros but were so worth it. everything i had was delicious. the veal chuck (special), which i would never try, was outstanding. even the rice pudding, which is typically a boring dessert, was made to perfection. i could go on and on, but you really just need to try it yourself! it's a meal I'll be talking about for a while and can't wait to go back to Paris to have it again.

Simply a great all around meal and experience worthy of 5 stars which I RARELY do. The staff was attentive and we enjoyed how the senior waiter was attentively training his young staff. His wine choice fantastic. I had a delicious seafood salad followed by a great rabbit entree and topped off with a fantastic fresh strawberry with gelato desert. My brides fish was perfectly done. Oh yes ... the ambiance of a small French bistro that you expect

My wife and I were visiting Paris for our Honeymoon. She made reservations here and BY FAR best restaurant we've been to. The food, the service and overall experience was great! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area, most definitely a must try! P.S be sure to leave space for dessert!

Took a short hike from nearby Pullman Hotel to this place, and it happens to be our last dinner outing here in Paris so I was like wishing and hoping for some amazing food...and so it was! For starters, grilled scallops in creme sauce, yum! Main for me was the roasted shrimp with risotto, yum! While wife had the pork filet in bbq sauce, (tastes like adobo) yum! To finish, banana 'nille fevilie' with ice cream, double yum! Had to pay a few Euros extra for the grilled scallops and roasted shrimp but well worth it! My assessment does no justice compared to pics, so just check out the pics I posted and you'll relate sure enough!!

Absolutely amazing...cute little spot near Eiffel Tower. Mushroom with poached egg was one of the best apps I have ever had. The dinner was well Prices 35 euro for 3 course menu. But the topping on the cake was literally the dessert. Honestly we might go back before we leave for that rice pudding. it's amazing

Our favorite meal in Paris thus far. 34 euros for a starter, main, and dessert. I got the mushroom, ham, and poached egg starter, which tasted like a very awesome brunch dish. Grilled shrimp for my main, which was an extra 5 euros, and usually comes with saffron pasta but was replaced with salad and potatoes because of allergies. The shrimp tasted fresh, juicy, and bouncy, and the potatoes were buttery smooth - maybe a tad too buttery, as they were swimming in a bowl of butter. My dessert, a mango and passion fruit mousse, was divine and beautifully presented. Not too sweet and lots of delicate flavors. My boyfriend ordered the warm potato salad, veal, and cheese plate and very much enjoyed everything. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, and spoke great English. The interiors are comfortable and cozy. Would definitely recommend!

Had a really good dinner here! We had the set menus at 45€, and chose an entree, main, and dessert. Also got 50cl of red wine at about 25€ (there was a pretty good range from about 15 to 40€ when we were there). It was overall a really great dinner experience!

We spent 3 weeks in Paris trying as many restaurants as possible and this ended up being our favorite restaurant by far. We had gone to this restaurant near the end of the trip, but had we had more time, we would have loved to come here more than once just to try more of the menu - it was that amazing. Service was also friendly, and we were lucky in being able to walk in for dinner without reservations.

This place was awesome! They serve up the type of food one thinks of when imagining french food: rich and delicious! When we arrived, we were able to be seated right away. The menu and the specials on the chalk board were of course in french, but they also had english descriptions, which was helpful, since I don't know the french words for every ingredient in the dishes. We got a three course meal for a good price, about 35 euro each. Our meal started out with complimentary bread and paté spread. It was so delicious and as much as I love butter, it was a nice change from the usual bread and butter. My first course was by far my favorite dish that evening: creamy soup with duck liver mouse, shaved truffle and bacon: a heart attack in dish to be sure, but worth the risk of blocked arteries; it was nothing short of heavenly! My husband's first course was slices of duck- cooked to perfection- with a small salad. My entree was grilled hake fish, which was good, but less memorable than the soup. My husband enjoyed his pork entree too. For dessert, we had a pot au chocolat topped with hazelnut whipped cream and chopped hazelnuts. I love the combination of chocolate and hazelnut, so I really enjoyed it. The other dessert we had was pretty good: sort of a modern take on apple crisp with bits of meringue and dried apples.

This was our favorite meal in Paris. What a find! It showed up in our guidebook as a restaurant with great food not too far from the Eiffel Tower. I usually assume there's no chance of getting anything special close to such a tourist attraction, but this place proved us wrong. They're obviously very much used to dealing with tourists, and they're accommodating with English translations which was very much appreciated. They had a wonderful three course option. The most special thing I had was a tomato soup which they poured into my soup bowl at the table. We absolutely loved this meal.

This place was around the corner from my hotel and had amazing reviews so I had to try it. It definitely lived up to the hype. Food was AMAZING! Probably the best meal I had during this trip. Service wad great and the restaurant had a rustic French charm. Highly recommend if you can snag a reservation.

Amazing. The food is special & delicious. Would recommend to anyone coming from out of town. Merci beaucoup!!!

Great place to have dinner with friends. I had the Duck with Asian salad and tuna. Both prepared perfectly. My friend had the cod and it was undercooked. I loved the mix of foie gras and tuna, delicious!

Bustling bistro fare near the Eiffel Tower. Waiters are proficient in English and menu is written in both English and French. Plenty of local people eat here. Decor is warm. Complimentary pate and bread start the prix fixe meal which is about 34 euros with some upcharges for certain items. Scallops appetizer was fantastic. My wife had the mushroom appetizer and was slightly disappointed in the seasoning. My son had the rainbow trout appetizer with avocado cream and beets which was delicious. Main course my wife chose the pork filet mignon which was a great rustic dish full of flavor. I chose the veal special and it was slightly dry as I had ordered it medium (chef recommended medium rare). My son had the prawns over risotto which was cooked perfectly but could have been seasoned a bit more. Desserts were plated nicely and savory. A solid dinner choice in Paris!

My boyfriend and I were wandering around the streets by the Eiffel Tower and found this gem. There are many restaurants in Paris but this is by far my favorite my I have had to date! We got the 3 course meal. I got the rabbit terrine, the duck, and the rice pudding. My boyfriend got a shrimp dish, and fish! Go here! You will not regret it! They speak english well but most of the people that eat here seemed like French business people. Great experience!

One of the best meals I've had in Paris. Place is a small charming restaurant, come early or make a reservation. The pre-fix meals are such a great deal. for 35 Euro you get a wide selection of appetizers, entrée and desert. There r some additional charge (usually 1 extra euro) for a few selections. Everything is cooked and plated superbly. Everything was seasoned just right.

If you are looking for a fantastic dining experience in Paris, come here! It's a fairly small space, so either make reservations or arrive early. We did not have reservations but arrived shortly after they opened and were seated right away (about half-way through our meal every seat in the restaurant was filled). You can tell its a locals spot, which I absolutely love. The complimentary Liver Mousse is incredible (and a generous portion!) and comes with a basket of warm, delicious bread. Their menu is prix fixe, so be aware of that. For 3 courses (a starter, a main, and a dessert) it starts at 33€. There are a few options that have an additional/premium charge but they are clearly marked. I opted for the Stuffed Mushroom starter the Steamed Cod with Risotto for my main, and the Rice Pudding for dessert. As overused as they are, the best words I can come up with for my meal are "incredible" and "delicious" because they truly were. The Stuffed Mushrooms were beautifully done and offered an amazing culinary experience as they were eaten. Texturally and flavorfully done to perfection. The Steamed Cod was perfectly done (as sometimes steamed fish has an off texture) and was flakey and not overlooked. It was set atop perfectly executed and delicious risotto. The Rice Pudding is a must-order! But be warned: its a VERY large portion! I was only able to finish a small amount of it, but it was exceptional. Everything, I mean everything about our meal was wonderful. The food was incredible, the service was kind and friendly (they spoke a small bit of English and we know a tiny amount of French and we got by), and the wine was fantastic as well. With 2 of the prix fixe dinners (both with at least one premium charge) and a half-bottle of wine our total came to about 130€. A great value for such generous portions of such wonderful food.

Hubs and I dined here on our last night in Paris. I was looking forward to our meal, as the culmination of two weeks in France. I am sad to say that I was not as pleased as I should have been. The restaurant was located fairly close to our fancy hotel, in the 15th arrondissement. We walked there, and felt lucky to get a table, as we did not have a reservation. We were seated, I spoke French, and then I heard someone call out that they should give us the "anglais" menu. It never occurred to me that the menu in English would be different from the menu in French. I thought the choices to be a little bland and not very exciting, compared to some of the other restaurants we had been to, but I brushed it off as traditional French, and ordered. A bit later, I noticed a hand written menu on the wall. I asked both our server and the owner if the English and French menu were the same. I received a snooty reply of "yes, I wrote it myself in the morning". I got up to take another look at one of the menus at the door. Even the printed menu in French was different than the English. "What is your problem with the menu?!" a haughty voice above me quizzed. When I told him, in French, that we were not told about the written menu, he said, "oh that is in addition to the printed menu." Remember, he insisted that the handwritten menu and the printed menu in English were the same. So, basically, he lied to me, and didn't think that I could speak or understand French. This sort of interaction does not make the experience any better, to find out that you have been handed the blandest of menu items, and you could have had onglet with roasted potatoes, or grilled shrimp, with a fresh pasta, and a cheese plate for dessert. The meal was average. And, by average, I mean that the food was very higher end cafeteria style. Hubs ordered the grilled hake, a fish, and I ended up with the grilled shrimp, gambas a la plancha. We shared a dessert, the profiteroles, which were quite lovely in presentation, but truly tasted like stale twinkies. The best part of the meal was the assiette de fromage, which was a cheese plate that we decided to get in place of the second dessert. The service felt more like I was eating at an American restaurant, complete with the "hurry up and get out so I can seat more people" vibe, which is completely contrary to French dining. As an FYI, most restaurants that I have been to, on my many trips to France, allow you to get an entree and a plat, which is an appetizer and main course, or a plat and dessert, or all three. Here, we had no choice but to get all three. Not a problem, but just know this is the case. I gave the restaurant two stars because not only did I feel cheated out of a good dining experience, the food just was not that good, for the price. I found this restaurant to be a rather bland and uninteresting French dining experience. There are so many other excellent, interesting, traditional and more experimental French restaurants, please, if you can, try one of those, and skip this one.

This is where you should eat while visiting Paris. This small restaurant was our favorite during our week in the city. Make sure to make a reservation, the space is small! Since we speak embarrassingly little French, the staff was willing to help us translate the menu and help my husband traverse his dairy allergy. I started with the carrot soup. In presentation and taste, it was incredible. My husband really enjoyed the duck he had for a main course. For dessert, the chocolate lava cake made me swoon. Then, after you are finished eating, you can walk over to the eiffel tour to see it sparkle.

Small and fabulous. Be sure to make a reservation. It's amazing how well two people working a room can take care of everyone. Well enough to earn Bib Gourmand from Michelin. Although some of the credit probably goes to the chef too. I had a delicious dinner, starting with white asparagus, moving on to their merlu fish special (hake) and ending with their signature dessert - a giant bowl of creamy rice pudding with a small side bowl of caramel sauce. The fish was moist, tender, and smothered in a ratatouille-like sauce with tasty fresh vegetables. The caramel and rice pudding combination wasn't that unique, it's just something I've never had in combination before. Try it, you'll like it!

This was one of the best meals I have ever had, anywhere. Not a single aspect of the meal left me disappointed, including the price. Very reasonable, our group had 4 courses and wine for less than €45. I would have expected to pay at least twice this for a meal of this quality in NYC. Highlight of the meal was the beef cheeks, nicely seared and crisp on the outside and fall apart tender throughout.

Well, they never seem to be open when we are in town BUT our one experience here was magical...a feast for the taste buds! English menus available, quaint and small not far from Tour Eiffel. Probably better known to locals than tourists, but find it...delicious!

The staff was so friendly and welcoming to my complete incompetence in speaking French. Delicious food and amazing prices!

OMG ! this restaurant is very quaint and very French. ​ The food is exquisite​. A very authentic french cooking. Best meal ever had in Paris

I husband and I had one the best meals of our lives here. The staff was friendly (in a French way) worked hard to take care of the customers my husband had Ahi tuna entree I had the asparagus salad both excellent Hake fish and beef cheek for main but out of this world. Rice pudding was sublime wine list was extensive but very reasonable I really enjoyed watching the chefs make the plates in the kitchen works of art. Our final bill was surprisingly low and I don't often say that. If thinking about going you won't regret it. I may come back to Paris do I can eat there again!

One of the best meals I've had in Paris. This gem of a place had beautiful food, top notch friendly service, and a charming atmosphere. The menu covers all the viandes, poisson and legumes without being overwhelming. Very well curated choice of entrees, plats and desserts all perfectly cooked and with nice use of herbs, fruit and spices. It would be impossible to set a foot wrong no matter the choice of meal. Seriously delicious! Wait staff gave expert help with wine pairing and explanation of how food is prepared. Goes on the "best" list for Paris. .

We had an excellent meal here. Would recommend. We both had the white asparagus appetizer. It was a special and it was the best asparagus ever. With mushrooms, light cream sauce, and a poached egg. For entree, I had the dorade (sea bream) and my husband had the cod special. Both were good, but mine was better. For dessert we tried the floating island (I would pass) and the rice pudding (very good and large portion)

Do not go to this place if you are American. The moment we spoke English we got a rude look and we were told we had to eat outside. We were then completely ignored while two men, one of which was French, were seated with respect, had their wine within minutes, and had ordered. We walked away. This was the only example of the mythic French rude attitude we experienced on a 10 day trip. Go to Le Beaujolais close by on rue de Suffrens. Very friendly and good food!

Best meal I had during a 2 week vacation in Europe. I'm vegetarian and the options are not always great. They made me a special entree that was fabulous. Menu is fixed for 3 courses. Everything that my table ate was absolutely outstanding. It made a very special night out in Paris!

Favorite place in the 15 Arrondisement. Food and service are excellent. Nice to stroll the Champs de Mars after dinner. Go here; you'll be pleased.

Excellent small cafe near the Eiffel Tower. Definitely make a reservation, it's a very small place and fills up quickly. We made a reservation just a couple of hours ahead, and had no trouble getting in. The service was great, and the staff spoke English. Some other commenters complained that they were given an English menu that didn't have the same things as the French menu. We were also given a printed and laminated English menu, which had some things that weren't on the chalkboard menu, and which was missing some things on the chalkboard menu. But the staff also provided an English translation of what was on the chalkboard (without our even asking for it), so I think this is a matter of daily selections not being on the printed menu. The food was fantastic, and very reasonably priced: 36 Euros for a starter, entree and dessert. There was a good variety of dishes, some more "comforty" (like the beef cheeks and whipped potatoes, which were excellent), and some more adventurous (chestnut soup with coffee ice cream as a starter, also very tasty). Overall this was a great restaurant and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.
