Le Galopin - Belleville

We had a delightful 10th anniversary celebration here last evening. What an indulgent treat it was. 5 courses with wine pairing. The ingredients were not easy to catch but I hope I manage to list the main ones. Amuse-bouche: A tuile topped with onion confit and grated mimolette First starter: Green Asparagus and tomatoes which were soaked in salt for 24hours, served with thinly sliced raw brown mushroom and sauce made of mushroom and beer. Paired with Sancerre. Second : Poached egg with soy-sauce-marinated-aubergine cubes, topped with a potato-based sauce, and a Tonka bean emulsion. Paired with a white Châteauneuf du Pape. Fish dish: Seared fish on both side, lightly decorated with seaweed flakes, and roasted Swiss chard served with a coconut milk and fish-based sauce. Paired with a Jura red. "Meat" dish: slices of beetroot, a poached-then-roasted leek, coffee mayonnaise and a meat sauce. Paired with a Cote du Rhône red. Dessert: An apple "sorbet", sprinkled with butter-crumble, topped with a vinaigrette made of rhubarb, apricot and Xeres. Served with a Crémant.

Loved it. Great, fun, casual but well-conceived food. Decent glass pours, though I enjoyed the wine environment better next door at cave a Michel. We ordered off the carte instead of a tasting menu, and I appreciate that we tasted more this way, and ended up spending less, even after factoring in wine...I'd return here, probably for lunch next time

Take the wine glass per dish it makes the whole difference! Was excellent! Amazing staff, very tasty!

We visited Le Galopin on Saturday night. The restaurant is very relaxed and low key, the quality of the food excellent and the wine list very good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming - all in all an excellent restaurant. We particularly enjoyed the delicious roast brill and the chocolate hay. The lamb was also succulent and very tender and the cromesquis was also very tasty. Overall very good value for money at 230 for four including two bottles of wine.

Amazing food, the chef is doing really innovative and exciting things with fun cool flavors. The restaurant had such a fun laid back vibe. I highly recommend!

Wonderful place. The bad reviews don’t reflect our experience, which was excellent. These people try really hard and produce delicious food. Veal head on skewers and mullet ‘crudo’ were especially good. Two people with two glasses of wine came to €146 and we had everything on the menu from top to bottom. Would never find this kind of value in England. It also had a nice buzzy atmosphere. Our hostess on Airbnb also rated it among her top 5, so the locals go to the place too.

The experience was quite nice, the waiter was super cool with us , as well as the music and ambiance . You can tell the chef was trained in Japan , everything was super pretty and the Japanese influence was clearly there . We made a bed decision over wine , it was not a good quality one and our waiter supported it ( it tasted cheap and was 52 € ) . I give it three stars as I was allergic to the main ingredient in two of the 5 dishes served on the fixed price menu , and they just removed it from the plate and had nothing to replace it with , making these plates lacking of flavor and … everything … , but charged full price of the dishes ( the main ingredient was a very expensive one … st Jacques ) . As most restaurants at this price level , I suggest they always have a “ replacement “ .

Underwhelming. Had the full chefs menu and most of the dishes did not impress.
