Le Collier de la Reine

We arrived with a lot of enthusiasm, especially since we had already visited three other restaurants from the same group and had fantastic experiences there. Unfortunately, this time was very disappointing. Upon arrival, we were not greeted in a friendly manner. After that, several staff members came to ask four times in a row if we were ready to order, which felt very impatient. We ordered a cocktail, a starter, and a main course. Unfortunately, right after receiving our cocktails, the starters were served, and three people at our table received their main courses at the same time as the starters. This created confusion and made the atmosphere uncomfortable. When we expressed that we would prefer to finish the starters before receiving the main courses and that we’d like the dishes to be served simultaneously for the whole table, both the manager and our waiter responded in a rude and arrogant manner. We were told we had to eat our starters and mains together, whether we liked it or not. This unprofessional attitude was very disappointing, especially as we came to enjoy ourselves and spent a considerable amount of money. While the setting is beautiful, we left with a bad feeling. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this experience. Hopefully, something will be done to improve the service, as the potential is definitely there.

The restaurant was lovely and the food was amazingly delicious. The atmosphere felt warm and cozy, and our server was very sweet. The only disappointing part was the 45-minute wait for our food, and we had to keep asking for updates. It seemed like a busy night for the team, so I won't hold it against them. We ordered a variety of dishes and shared them all. The oysters and pasta were especially yummy. Despite the wait, the food was amazing and definitely made the visit worthwhile.

We had high expectations. The interior and ambiance is really nice! Service was friendly but a bit too quick and assertive. We felt a bit rushed, although the restaurant was more than half empty. We shared different plates paired with some nice natural wines. Good oysters and steak tartare. Would definitely recommend the pig leg, was amazing! The octopus was a bit too sturdy and didn't have much flavour. Desserts and main course were ok.

I regret to share my extremely disappointing experience at Le Collier on Friday, January 10th. I was part of a small group celebrating a birthday dinner, and while the upstairs staff were friendly and welcoming, one waiter’s behavior completely soured the evening. The waiter was overly aggressive and intrusive, checking on us every five minutes in a way that disrupted our meal and made us feel rushed. They repeatedly tried to clear plates before we were finished, and their overall impatience created an uncomfortable atmosphere. At one point, the waiter even made an inappropriate comment, suggesting the entire group would be asked to leave if one person arrived late—something I found both disrespectful and unprofessional. When we moved upstairs, the same poor attitude continued. To add insult to injury, I was overcharged by €73. Despite multiple attempts to contact the restaurant via email to resolve the matter, they have failed to respond or issue a refund. This lack of accountability and basic customer service is unacceptable. This experience has drastically changed my perception of Le Collier. What used to feel like a trusted choice for special occasions now feels closer to a fast-food chain in terms of service quality. I have celebrated my own birthdays here and recommended it to others in the past, but after this experience, I can no longer do so. I strongly encourage management to train staff on proper guest service and improve their responsiveness to customer concerns. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning or recommending Le Collier in the future.

I rarely feel so conflicted about a restaurant. Le Collier de la Reine has everything it needs to be a top-notch establishment: a stunning building, a charming interior, and dishes clearly prepared with care and expertise. The food was delicious—no complaints there. However, what could have been a complete package was entirely ruined by the service. Rude, haughty, and downright arrogant staff spoiled the evening. Questions were met with sighs, smiles seemed out of the question, and when we politely pointed out a mistake in the order, we were met with a condescending response as if we were the problem. The manager only made things worse. No understanding, no apologies, just an attitude of “we’re right, the customer is wrong.” This kind of behavior is unacceptable in the hospitality industry. It’s clear that both management and staff have forgotten the essence of hospitality. It’s truly a shame that a place with so much potential is run this way. A good restaurant thrives or falls with its team, and Le Collier de la Reine is currently failing miserably. Unless major changes are made—and that should start with replacing the manager—I absolutely wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Collier de la Reine and was blown away by the quality of the food and atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the stylish decor and chic ambiance. We started off the meal with the onion soup, which was rich and flavorful with a perfectly balanced blend of onions and broth. But the real highlight of the meal was the seafood tower. We decided to splurge on the seafood tower, and it did not disappoint. The tower was filled with a variety of fresh seafood, including prawns, scallops, muscles, and oysters. Each piece was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the presentation was stunning. For our entrees, the crispy pork was also a standout, with tender meat and a crunchy exterior that was perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the fish and chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, with a light crispy batter that didn't overpower the delicate flavor of the fish. The chips were equally impressive, with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. The wine selection at Collier de la Reine was also impressive, with a variety of great options to choose from. We opted for a white wine that paired perfectly with our meal. Overall, I would give Collier de la Reine a solid 5 stars. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was chic and stylish, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the fish and chips, crispy pork, and seafood tower. If you're a fan of Asian fusion cuisine, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Had a lovely night and dinner. Service was great and quick. Vegetable blanquette and the pork crepe are a must! Very varied wine list that satisfies any taste. There is a super cave on the lower floor. Cocktails are the best in Paris. (Basil smash way of life!) Recommended for both small intimate dinners as well as big groups. :)

The restaurant setting is very nice, but the food was a real disappointment. The worst was a very dry pork belly that was completely tasteless. The rest was ok, starters were decent and the chicken came with a nice sauce, even though they also didn’t get the cooking right (a bit undercooked as you can see from the photos). All while being on the pricey end. Even the wines are low quality when compared to the price you pay. Finally, the chef was very arrogant, when we tried explaining that the porc was undercooked, they agreed but said «that’s how it is » and didn’t offer any alternatives (nor discounts).
