Le Reminet

Very calm and romantic ambience, with lovely and attentive staff. Dishes are prepared meticulously and are obviously very well done. Perfect for a calm date, in a great location.

Immaculate service all round. Friendly, impeccably polite. Very high quality cocktails, I particularly enjoyed the Manhattan. Great house wine with helpful guidance from waitress in order to select the proper wine. As for the food, everything was incredible. Familiar flavours and ingredients, but almost every dish has a kind of unexpected twist to it that brought it to the next level. I had a butternut squash soup to start, made with roast chestnuts and a poached egg inside, served with high quality bread. I did not expect the egg in that presentation, but it was incredible and brought the soup to the next level. For the main, I ordered a beef roast with carrots and sweet potato. The sweet potato was some of the best I've ever consumed; the carrots added a splash of colour and glazed in a lovely way; the roast itself could have been cut with a fork and covered in a delicious red wine sauce. For dessert I had the french toast with chocolate and ice cream. Literally melted in my mouth. I will also say that this is probably the best value I've ever had for a meal that nice. This is also the kind of place every generic tourist would always walk straight past but this is an experience you cannot miss.

Not sure if it’s because we booked our reservations from Fork, the food was a bit underwhelming, especially the Veal Confit. Cod and ceviche are fine. Service was very nice, and vibe is good for dating.

Nice atmosphere, tasty food but very pricey The restaurant had a good atmosphere and the food tasted good. However, the portion sizes were quite small for the price.staff were not very friendly. the crème brûlée was absolutely amazing — definitely the highlight of the meal!

Great choice for a date night. The mashed potatoes are to die for, the ambiance is romantic, and the service was really good. Recommended if you are looking for an authentic french cuisine experience.

Perfect place for a parisien dinner The food is prepared with precision, the taste is sharp. I had the ile flottante with coffee cream, just beautiful.

The food was presented thoughtfully and it tasted delicious. I would recommend you to go here. Food: We had a 3 course menu. Starter and main have been very good. The dessert was too sugary for me and was missing a flavor that balanced the sweetness imo (but I’m critical with desserts also). Else: If you make a reservations try to get a table upstairs as it is more bright. We’ve been seated downstairs which seemed a bit more packed. Service was very nice!

Very nice bistro ! Authentic French cuisine with real flavours. The service is very enjoyable. Definitely recommended!

A cute little restaurant close to Notre Dame and the River Seine! If you sit at the front of the restaurant, you can get a view of both and during the summer, they leave the front open so that you can enjoy the fresh air and the view even better. The staff were friendly and professional, offering us recommendations and giving us a great table despite not having reservations. Our grilled prawns and roasted trout dishes were both beautifully plated, delicious, and healthy! We'd definitely recommend it for dinner. Portions are on the large side so we ended up not needing the cheese dessert plate, but each cheese included on it was great.

A warm welcome and a fine meal in a quirky little space. True, we didn't expect to hear the Lambada song gently rocking from a small speaker as we sat down under the chandeliers, but the food and service more than made up for it. Every dish was excellent - these folks really know how to cook a piece of fish, not to mention how to braise beef chuck - and arrived in good time. Wines were reasonably priced and well chosen. It just goes to show that you don't have to go super-fancy to have great French cuisine in Paris.

The restaurant is located right across from Nortre Dame. My friend found a special deal on prefix course for lunch which was 29 Euro a person. For me, it came with beef, 15 Escargot and chocolate mousse. All were really good and incredibly priced!! The prefix menu was not on the printed menu. When my friend asked for it, turned out it was written on the board - so ask for it if you want this deal! The staff were nice and friendly. He also spoke some English because that was helpful for me!! His English is way better than my French!! Lol!

This is probably one of the best restaurants/high quality foods that I have ever eaten. Super amazing. Most definitely quality over quantity. Not big portions like the US. But definitely a quality that is on another level than most places you've been to. Definitely a more romantic spot to bring a date to if you want to have a romantic candlelight dinner. It's definitely that type of restaurant with that kind of ambience. FOOD: What can I say? Definitely superb. We started with the Foie Gras and Clams. Both were unlike anything I've ever had. Amazing. The clams were perfect texture and well seasoned. The Foie Gras. Best I've ever had. I then got the Shrimp with Risotto. All I can say is wow. Wow again. Whoever made this dish hats off to him. Or her. This dish was perfectly flavored. Not too salty or bland. But just right. Words don't describe it. And the portions were perfect. Not too big not too small. No wonder the French are so thin and in shape! Then dessert. Omg. THE BEST Creme Brûlée I've ever had. Seriously. And Creme brûlée is served everywhere. This is unlike anything I've ever tasted. It wasn't sweet but it wasn't bland either. Just perfect is what it was. The service was also perfect. Two servers were working the whole floor. They were very professional and attentive and we never had to ask for anything. Wish I got their names. Highly recommend dining here especially if you're bringing a date. Not the first date though. Maybe a third or fourth date.

We arrived late and yet had charming attentive service. The menu for the night was depleted & lacked one dish I would have ordered yet my second choice was so distractingly delicious ( I believe a steak dish). Will definitely return again on our next Parisian trip.

The service was great and the food was delicious. Order the prefix for lunch and it was 29 euro. The prefix is the special for the day and it's not on the menu so when you arrive make sure to look for the daily special or else you will get the regular menu and you be missing out a great deal. Lunch is up to 3pm and close till dinner time.

Great place for our family on our last night in Paris. Food and wine were great. The service was excellent. The ambiance and candle light was a nice touch. I would rerturn.

When ever we are in Paris we make a point of coming here. Their pre fixe menu is always fantastic! You never know what you'll get but it's alway amazingly delicious. It's reasonably priced for the quality of food. We've spent three times as much at fancier restaurants but this beats them all. Their lunch menu is just as good as the dinner menu but a little less in price if you're looking to save a bit. But make a reservation. You won't be disappointed.

Le Reminet was Awesome. Waking distance from Notre Dame's cathedral we found this little place. It is only like 10 tables big and has only 2 waitresses which is plenty because they are really good and on top of their game. This elegant, refined and charming restaurant is putting out picture perfect food that you only see in magazines. It is on the expensive side of the restaurants in the area but it is well deserved. Service is impeccable and flavor and presentation could not be better. If you are super hungry or if you like to have big plates of food... this is not the place. Very little plates delicately prepared and plated with lots of color and every little item in that plate has a purpose to entice your palate. We had things from the chef's daily menu and also from their regular menu. A lobster appetizer in between a crunchy cracker with creamy avocado and quinoa/Couscous mix. (Very good) The fish of the day, Perch fish which is a very soft white meat fish cooked to perfection and presented with dry apple chips... excellent. And from the menu ... their lamb loin. All delicious. You must have their cheese course at the end... their choices and quality of cheese is wonderful. This restaurant deserves to have a spotlight. It is romantic, charming, good wines, excellent service and food... what more can you ask for a night in Paris.

3.5* all around. Make a reservation at thefork.com to get 50% off your meal. However, you need to order appetizer/dessert with your main course to be eligible for the discount. Still a great deal, but we were already full from the main course so we didn't really enjoyed the desserts. Foods are pretty tasty and service is good. We ordered: - beef cheek w/ foie gras - duck Can't remember the name of the desserts since we weren't planning on ordering them, but they were descent. They gave us an amuse bouche as well(asparagus soup) that's pretty good.

Beautiful place to eat dinner - very authentic and well prepared. We ordered the menu gastro. For 69 euros per person. Ravioli was good but needed a bit of salt, the soup was delicious. For entrees I chose the tuna steaks and other fish dish off the menu. Cheese selection was good - choices were aged cheeses done out in the open. Dessert was also spectacular! You can also choose to dine in the bottom floor which is located in a very intimate cellar. Also it took us 3 hours to finish our meal so don't come here until you have time

I thought this place was bad. Flavorless. Had to douse in salt and pepper. A real disappointment. We ordered shrimp risotto, except it was served with pearl pasta instead of risotto. Pearl pasta had no flavor. We also ordered the poultry dish which was equally flavorless. Did they change chefs recently? I should have suspected something was amiss as it was easy to get a same day reservation and plenty of time slots were available. It was too pricey for what we got.

Really excellent food that is let down by poor service - not that they aren't friendly but that they have only two servers when they really need three.

Excellent food and service from Le Reminet, we were slightly late due the traffic, but the staff was so nice to confirm we still have our reservation. The food was excellent and super tasty, the dessert was marvelous. Recommend

This little gem is on our go-to list every time we come to Paris. The ambiance is wonderful and the staff is friendly and helpful. Tonight the truffled chicken with parsnip purée and the mango coconut pudding were superb. Everything is as good as it was 6 years ago. It's small; reservations are needed.

A beautiful evening in a higher caliber traditional French restaurant. We sat in the basement which was elegant and sexy. No one does basements like the Europeans. Our waiter was stuffy at first but he warmed up to our humor and even gave us an additional desert which is a true rarity in Paris, we enjoyed him very much. The tables were lovely, complete with silver and roses. Our oysters were clean and fresh, soups, lobster and steaks were delicious. Our daughters fish was cooked and flavored superbly. The starters were fresh and unique, lovely desserts. The wine selections were very good. For our daughters first real French meal, we couldn't have been much happier... I believe we sang along the river on our walk home.

this was my favorite meal in paris! i tried two other very popular and highly rated restuarant, but this one was we accidentally walked in on blew my mind. we couldn't order much that day as we are in a rush to get to the airport. Had I found this place earlier, I would have loved to have more dishes or come back a second time. will be back during the next trip! wait for me! :)

Modest street appearance but this restaurant is a hidden gem. It's the kind of place that makes you wish you lived near by. On an ordinary week night most of the patrons are speaking French, and you know why: romantic, small smart menu, wonderful choices. Not to be missed.

BAD SERVICE. Awful experience. I asked couple questions about the menue and he had an Attitude that I was really offended and we left. If you are not willing to serve people that's a very wrong job for you. People have different diets and want to know their options. Instead make fun of my questions? Medium height blond short hair man made us to leave immediately after we ordered. And when my husband told him we are leaving and we don't want to eat here, he just laughed again and left. He didn't care that he lost a client. WOW. For such an expensive restaurant this is not the service we expect.

Been to Paris before, have had superb meals in Paris before. Last night we had a sublime experience in dining. The menu will always be changing but order what Chef has going that night. Ambiance is Parisian and and taste delight is global.

We were only in Paris for 2 days, so we had to be picky about our restaurants. This one was phenomenal! A great start to our honeymoon. I'm still drooling over the divine salmon dish I had, and candle lit table made for a very romantic evening. We booked on TheFork.com and got a sweet 50% discount, but it would have been worth it at full price as well.

Last night in Paris and we decide to try a tasting menu and came across this place on yelp. Called at 8:30pm to see if they can accommodate us at 8:45pm and they were able to. People at Paris eats late. If you go to any restaurant at around 6:30pm, there are only a few people there. Arrived at 8:45pm and was seated right away. The restaurant is kind of small and they try to fit as many as possible in that little place... so you will be elbow to elbow with the person sitting next to you. For the tasting menu, it was 65 euro for 2 starters, 2 main course, 2 cheese choice, and a dessert for each person. Yes.. I said it right.. you get 2 starters and 2 main courses.. just in smaller portions. Starters: Fresh Oysters - mmmmm you can taste the freshness and the vinegar/onion sauce that comes with it made it even yummier. If you like fresh oysters, you have to try their sauce here! Small veal tartare with condiments and grated lime - another refreshing dish and so yummy. ......and the wait starts...... 45 mins later... Pressed foie gras and smoke snake fish - O...M....G.... DELICIOUS! highly recommend this dish. This is my 3 time having foie gras in Paris and this is by far the best one. The smoke flavor of the foie gras was unbelievable delicious! It also went very well with the apple sauce it came with. Yummy! Creamy Chickpeas puree with ricotta cheese, cherry tomatoes, smoke salmon, and bacon crumbles - another delicious dish. All the flavors went very well together. Try to get a little bit of everything in one bite and see how the flavors come together. ..... and the wait continues... 45 mins later... Main course: Sea bass with coquels, small leeks and vegetables with curry and lime sauce - Yummy! The fish was cooked to perfection and just melts in your mouth. The sauce was also very delicious. Lightly salted cod, baked potato and roasted octopus with chorizo - yummy! Again this fish was cooked to perfection and all the flavors blended so well together. ....and the waiting continues.....45 mins later... Veal slice with its liver on condiments, yellow carrot cream, small cake with bone marrow, and young carrot - took a bite of the liver and didn't like the texture of it, but the flavors were nice. I ordered the beef medium rare and it came out well done so the meat was a pretty tough. The flavors of this dish was good, but they overcooked the beef so it was just okay. Caramelized iberico pork on xeres and balsamic vinegar, gratinated zitone pasta with mushroom - just like the veal, the pork was over cooked and was a little tough, but the taste of the dish was pretty good. .... by this time, we were tired of waiting so long in between dishes and asked them to speed up the process a little.... it was already 11:50pm.. Cheese dishes... each person get to pick 2 and they brought out a selection for you to choose alone with a plate with salad, walnuts, and some kind of jelly for each person. Dessert: Lime flavored Creme Brulee - Yummy! I love creme brulee and this one was pretty yummy. Dark chocolate sorbet grand cru from Vietnam, peanut cookie crumbs, and milk chocolate chantilly - if you love chocolate, you must try this dish. The dark chocolate sorbet was delicious and so was the milk chocolate chantilly. Eat it with the cookie crumbs to get a crunch. Yummy. Overall, this was the best meal we had in Paris. The reason why its only a 4-star were becuase of the long waiting in between dishes and wish they had cooked the meat dishes a little better.

Le Reminet is a lovely restaurant a few steps from the shadow of the Notre Dame. Their menu is intriguing, and the interior enchanting. Yeah, I said "enchanting." And I meant it. Upon discovering we were American, our host apologetically informed us that the table outside was suddenly reserved, and we were relegated into the cellar with the other English speakers. I might've been insulted, but...well, look at me; I wouldn't want me out front scaring customers away either. Also, Le Reminet's is without a doubt the most charming and romantic cellar in the history of mankind. Once settled in the cellar with cocktails, we decided to order off the regular menu.* We opted to start with the gazpacho with avocado sorbet and the tuna with artfully arranged raw vegetables. For our mains, the double-cut pork chop and the sea bass. I'm going to spare you an extremely flowery and FANTASTICALLY written description...suffice is to say that each and every dish was strikingly beautiful, and for the most part, the flavors were well-balanced. Surprisingly though, the execution was not there. The polenta was dry, the tuna overcooked, and the pork chop too tough and chewy. Perhaps it was an off night in the kitchen, but Le Reminet seems to be the sort of place where appearance trumps taste. If atmosphere could be eaten, let me be the first to say that Le Reminet serves just about the most delicious I've ever had. In terms of food though -- despite the impeccable plating -- we ate far better (for less money) elsewhere in Paris. ___________ *By this I mean our waitress cruelly dangled the tasting menu and then ripped it away just to see me weep. (They a smaller portion of two appetizers and of two entrees of my choice for a very reasonable price AKA everything I ever want in life. I asked our sweet waitress if I really, truly got to choose two of each course, and she confirmed that yes, all my dreams were coming true. Sadly, when I tried to order this tasting menu four minutes later, I was told it was too late to do so. Really? The cut off time is between 8:43 and 8:47 pm? You couldn't at least tell me that when I inquired about it?)

Super cute little place! Good food that is nicely prepared and very nicely plated. Perhaps the wine was a little too warm and the food a little to weakly seasoned, but it is very close to being a 5 star rating for me. We also had a voucher from the fork which made it very cheap, given the quality, but I've rated it as a full price meal.

Best meal we had in Paris! My daughter and I had tuna steaks with black truffles and beer and wine to drink. For dessert I had a chocolate hazelnut praline something...it was like a giant ice cream Rocher. The service and ambiance were wonderful. And the on the walk along the Seine back to our hotel we had an incredible view of Nôtre Dame at night.

Let down. Really busy place with beautiful platings but the food left a bit to be desired. First plat was very nice both aesthetically and in flavor. It was a smoked ham (prosciutto) rolled with a white asparagus puree inside, figs and a vanilla bean sauce. More to it than that for sure. Very, very nice. However entrees weren't nearly as fabulous. Fish was actually undercooked and rubbery while the lamb was overcooked and the sweet bread (organ) dry. After 3 hours we had enough of the close quarters and didn't stick around for dessert. Not worth the 125 euros for wine, 1 plat and 2 entrées.

We enjoyed our lunch on a sunny afternoon. It is a very small and intimate place with fine linens and rich, dark decor. The major draw back to the place is the lack of outdoor seating - they lack the sidewalk space as the door to the establishment opens immediately to the street. Located across the Seine River from Notre Dame and easy access over the Place De Artes bridge. There is a full bar and nice selections of wines. The staff were very responsive to our needs and questions. They do speak good English to get us through our meal. Our proteins were prepared well and the duck was delectable. The unique use of herb sorbet as a savory component was delightful. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a very nice and casual meal in a very cozy and intimate decor. P.S. - this was the only place we went to in Paris that had a Yelp! Sticker on their door. Food: 38/40 Decor/vibe: 16/20 - primarily for lack of outdoor seating Staff: 20/20 Value: 18/20 Total: 92/100

Exceptional service and food! Servers speak great English and were patient with us poring over the menu. We had a cheese plate to share, then my husband got the steak with foie gras, and I got the scallops. Everything we had was a flavor explosion in our mouths. We finished with a delicious creme brûlée and coffee.

It's such a refreshing experience to come upon that mystically unobtainable Paris restaurant that you tend to always see in movies - but this time I did! With the help of my trusty iPhone, yelp.fr and what turned out to be a monster phone bill I navigated with some friends down some gorgeous back alleys to where I though Le Reminet was ... we looked around, couldn't see it, but in fact it was right behind us. Note: it's small and easily overlooked. Second major surprise. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Had I inadvertently stumbled into a parallel dimension where Parisian waiters were friendly and German tourists waited until 11am to book their spots at the poolside? No - it seems there are some places (in fact I know of quite a few) where the restaurant staff are genuinely pleased to see guests, even when they're ... uh ... foreign. The menu was classic French cuisine, with plenty of fish and other seafood (not always easy to find in Paris) and each dish was prepared wonderfully. The wine list was extensive and reasonably priced and the ambience was cozy with subdued lighting (again, sometimes hard to find) and a very convivial conversational background buzz. I liked it a lot and will go again.

Awesome dinner and wonderful experience at Le Reminet. We were seated immediately (made reservations on thefork for 50% off) and were handed our menus that have English translations. The girls ordered the drink special, a champagne with raspberry purée which was delightful. The boys ordered beers. Next, they brought out a complimentary broth which was so good I could've eaten it as my meal. We ordered two appetizers, the spring rolls and the burrata and the burrata was definitely the star. Each of our entrees was delicious - the pork, tuna, monkfish, and pigeon. We absolutely loved our desserts as well - the chocolate cake and creme brûlée. Food was amazing, service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was very nice. Highly recommend.

This place was awesome. We sat downstairs in the cave area and had an amazing time. We arrived too late at night for the taster menu but ended up having a great experience. We began with their Barratta which was super delicious. For our meal we shared the Pidgeon and the Veal tartar. For dessert we had the Creme brûlée and let me tell you. This was a mind blowing experience. I'm not ashamed to say that I literally cried at how delicious it was. They truly have the best Creme brûlée in all of Paris. A generous serving that can be shared but after your first bite you will find yourself craving more. I dread the day I am back in the United States and I'm craving Creme brûlée because once you've tasted perfection... Everything else will seem subpar.

This restaurant was recommended by the hotel concierge at Park Hyatt Vendome. It was an excellent choice. We had an appetizer and a main course each. Appetizer - foie gras (delicious) Main course - seabass/ pigeon You must make a reservation otherwise it gets booked up very quickly as this is a small restaurant.

OUI! OUI! Très magnifié !! We came to this lovely little (and I mean TINY) gem on a recommendation from a friend. And boy did we score big! If you go no where else in Paris, go here. It's a bit tucked away, which is perfect, and quite intimate inside, and has a lot of atmosphere. My boyfriend is half French, and has lived in Paris on & off throughout his life, but had never been here. He was game to try it out, and again - we're SO glad we did. We were seated for lunch in the wee main dining room where there are about 8-10 little tables. There is a daily specials menu hanging up on the wall, above the bar, which honestly, is difficult to read....not because it's only in French (though that makes it tricky, if you don't speak the language) but because it's written in chalk, on a blackboard, and not very clearly. It's also a bit dark in the room (which we love & prefer), but makes reading menus challenging. Before starting the meal, we went with a kir royale (champagne with cassis liquor - SO yummy!), and then with our meal, we ordered a very nice red wine (Saint Stephane, perhaps?). I had the pre-fix menu for 45E, which includes an appetizer (entreé), entree (plat), & dessert. For my appetizer, I very much enjoyed the oysters! WOW! easily the best I've ever eaten...too bad I forgot to ask where they were from, because....wow. For the plat (please see my photos), I chose the grilled cod & octopus, with grilled Mediterranean veggies, herbed chick peas, and chick pea pureé. It was fantastique! Now, I'm not much of a dessert kind of gal, but all it said on the menu was...Champagne, chocolate, et cassis. (which is black current - one of my favorite flavors, and a very popular flavor used in French cuisine) And that is all it needed to say. Bring. it. on. Check out the photo, because this was a masterpiece. The focus of the plate was a scoop of dark chocolate 'gelato' that had been infused with cassis and I've never tasted anything like it. It was amazing, truly. also, on the plate, were little rough, chocolate cookie 'drops', tiny scoops of champagne sorbet with little cassis gel 'discs' on top, dark chocolate drips (there's a name for this which escapes me at the moment, sorry), a couple fresh blueberries, and blackberries, and a dark chocolate tuile (which is like a lacy, translucent, flat, cookie 'bark'), champagne foam, and cassis mousse, and a bit of something like lemon verbena leaves. It was the bomb. Hands down, the best dessert I've ever had. Not too sweet, or too, anything. Parfait! My BF had the steak & potatoes (done perfectly, as well), and followed up with the post meal cheese plate - spot. on. We had the 'obligatory' café, after the meal, and where in heaven. By the way, the menus they hand you, DO have English translations inside. It's very 'user friendly', and the (very young, and very handsome) wait staff were delightful. Not snobby in the least. Superb service from start to finish. WIN. WIN. WIN.

My husband and I went there for our 15th wedding anniversary, and it was perfect. Mike's fish was great but my beef cheeks were incredible! Intimate, romantic, friendly and excellent service. The best part was that the chef cooked everything! Amazing experience...I can't wait to return to Paris!

Had lunch there today with a party of seven. They were very accommodating at squeezing us in as it was peak lunch hour and they were pretty busy. The service is excellent!!! Only one man working the front and he was a veteran waiter! Superb! We all had different combos of the price fix lunch and it was fantastic. Three courses for 19.50 euros. What a deal. The starters were both to die for. The main plates were fish or lamb chops. Those who had fish loved it. The only complaints were from a few who had the lamb chops. They were delicious with a savory rich gravy but we each had one tender yummy succulent chop and one that was a little fatty and tough. The desserts were above and beyond. The panecotta was the best ever and also an excellent cheese plate. The dinner menu is about twice the price so go for lunch and go hungry! Even with the fatty tough chops we'd give it a 4.8.

We went for dinner after a long day of walking, and chose it based on the Yelp reviews plus it was close to our apartment. It was the only $$$ restaurant we went to on our trip and was amazing. We booked on TheFork.com and got the 50% discount, which was worth it. Delicious, artfully presented food, very nice service. Dessert was very good - we had the creme brûlée and a special of the day.

I found this restaurant on Yelp. It had a 16 rating but to me it was #1. They open at 1930. I recommend making reservations since it is so tiny and would fill up quickly. We luckily got there early, right when it opened, so they accommodated a party of 3. They speak English, which is helpful since we are only in Paris for 24 hours. We had Champagne to start, wine with dinner, and liquors with dessert. All recommended by the staff. We had oysters(a must!) and I had salmon. All done mouth-wateringly well. Excellent spot and worth fining in this city.

My favourite restaurant in Paris and perfect for a special occasion or a reunion with old friends. Refined and original food, romantic candlelight ambiance, friendly service - how often do does elements all come together? Even in Paris, they don't just fall into your lap - you have to seek them out! The restaurant is usually listed on thefork.com so you can get up to 40% off your bill.

My friend and I should have had a wonderful time at Le Reminet - unfortunately, it's unlikely we'll ever return. Essentially, I believe this restaurant has an informal policy of seating certain individuals downstairs in its cellar room, and other individuals upstairs on the main floor. Here's what happened to us: My friend (who is Chinese) and I (American) arrived at 7:00pm after making a reservation on lafourchette.com. No one was sitting upstairs, but we were immediately taken downstairs, where three other customers (all Asian) were sitting. As the night went on, we noticed that more and more Asian customers were being seated downstairs with us - first a pair of Asian women and then a group of 3-4 Asian women. By the time we left nearly all the customers seated downstairs with us were Asian (except for one white couple and one Asian woman accompanied by a white man). As we walked out of the restaurant we noticed all the customers on the top floor were white. In all other respects we had a great experience at Le Reminet; our servers were kind, attentive, and very understanding of our limited French language skills. The food was delicious and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. But we don't feel we can return to a restaurant that keeps its customers segregated according to race or national origin. After emailing Le Reminet's management about my concerns and receiving no response, I would encourage you to avoid this restaurant. Perhaps, eventually, they'll reconsider this discriminatory business model.

I absolutely loved this restaurant! We took my friend and her husband here when they came to visit Paris. Initially, I was a little worried because the restaurant is located in a pretty touristy area right by Notre Dame, and there were quite a few Americans eating there as well. So, I assumed that it would just be another mediocre restaurant catering to tourists. Fortunuately, our experience was quite the contrary - we were all pretty blown away by the quality and originality of the food. Each dish was prepared to perfection, from the appetizers to the dessert. The service was irreproachable - we received a warm welcome as soon as we stepped foot into the restaurant, and our waiter was incredibly patient while we tried to decide what we wanted to order. I highly recommend this restaurant for it's warm, intimate ambiance as well as for its tasty food. They can be found on the LaFourchette site too, so don't forget to make a reservation through there to receive a 40-50% discount!

I have eaten at Le Reminet twice at this point, once on business in January and once for pleasure, July of this year. The most recent meal was excellent. My wife and I were looking for a pleasant night out and chose to spend it at Le Reminet. The restaurant is located a short walk from Notre Dam and Ile-Saint-Louie. We started in with the gazpacho because the evening was quite warm. The gazpacho was served with a goat cheese, avocado sorbet and olive caponata brochette, served over a Parmesan and olive crostini. The combination worked well together, the lime infused avocado sorbet was served very cold and matched well with the goat cheese, olive and puff pastry. The gazpacho was very cold and served in chilled wine glass. The flavor of each individual starter was excellent, the presentation was superb, and quite striking. I chose to eat the two elements of the dish separately, because eating them together was somewhat awkward. For the main course my wife has the fillet of beef with foie gras, green cabbage and fries with a reduced duck gravy. I had the double pork chop, served with mushroom polenta, roasted apples and smoked emulsion. My wife's steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, the presentation was pleasing and the combination of favors was outstanding. The double pork chop was elegantly presented and the polenta has fluffy and light, having a almost bread stuffing like quality. The roasted apple and smoky emulsion finished the dish perfectly, I could have eaten double the portion size, not because there wasn't enough, but because the flavors were so incredibly alluring We had a bottle of the 2010 Chateauneuf Du Pape with our meal. Le Reminet offers a wide variety of wines in all price ranges making food pairing both affordable and easy. For dessert my wife had the soft shortbread with light lemon cream, fresh strawberries and lime sorbet, I had the cheese plate. My wife had a glass of their brut Champagne, I had the rosé. The presentation and desserts completed a almost perfect dining experience. I booked the evening through, thefork.com, and received a 40% discount on the meal. I never had to ask for the discount, it appeared on the bill at the end of the meal. I will be back to this restaurant again in the future. The staff and chef are excellent and should be very pleased with their culinary accomplishments. The food each time, did not disappoint, Le Reminet is not a fluke. I highly recommend this establishment for your visits to Paris. Bon Appetite.

Beautiful, cozy restaurant near Notre Dame. While I came here with a friend, I would most likely return with my husband for a romantic date or a client I want to impress. The atmosphere is classy and romantic; the service is wonderful! For starters, I had a salmon dish that was noted on the Chef's Suggestions. The presentation was wonderful and the fish fresh. I feasted on the delicate "Rascasse et daurade rôtis" or roasted scorpion fish for the main course. Everything, from the food to the service, was very well done. I booked a reservation via TheFork.com or LaFourchette.com for a 50% discount. So worth it!

My husband (fiance at the time) and I came to Le Reminet for our celebratory dinner after he proposed at the Eiffel Tower. Though we didn't have reservations, we were lucky to have been seated right away as they had a table for 2 ready when we got there. Service was excellent and food equally good! Our favorite dish from the entire meal was the pan-seared foie gras. It was crispy on the outside and each bite melted in our mouth. He got the steak and I ordered the sole. The steak presentation was beautiful and creative and had a great sauce. The sole was a little on the fishy side but it had a good risotto accompaniment. Dessert was absolutely divine! Would recommend this restaurant for special occasions though! Very romantic inside with chandeliers and ambient lighting. Feels very upscale but homey.

Absolutely magnificent. Seriously. 5 star cuisine at 2-3 star prices. Innovative and modern, yet classic dishes, served in a very welcoming, relaxed environment. The staff, and Norbert in particular, were very, very good to us. I would recommend going with a group of 4-6 people, ordering the tasting menus, and making an evening out of it. It is truly an unforgettable experience. Ask to be seated in the wine cave below the first floor....very intimate, beautiful setting. We went to Le Reminet with a party of 8 to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. We ordered several tasting menus, at least 4 bottles of wine, and much more, and our bill was quite reasonable. If you want to have a dinner in Paris that you will not forget without breaking the bank, Le Reminet is for you.

The purple french bistro, I just fell in love with this place when my cousin took me for the first time. Informal dining with fine dining dishes served by professional and efficient waiters. As soon as you enter you feel the warmth and charm of the place. I still laugh with my cousin about when she had asked the waiter, after ordering, to tell the kitchen to make sure that the food comes out quickly because we had an appointment to make. The waiter responded that this is not a fast food restaurant and if we wanted food immediately we should eat at McDonald's. Others may take that as being rude, we just accepted it as the restaurant taking great care in producing delicious meals and ensuring that we took the time to enjoy the experience instead of scoffing it down. We ordered the fixed price menu, with a choice of entree, main, and dessert. I picked the beautifully cooked scallops which had a nice crust on the outside and was tender and creamy in the middle. For mains, my steak was cooked perfectly rare with a side of french fries and salad and I ended my meal perfectly with a creme brûlée. I forgot what my cousin had, as I was too distracted with my own meal and we missed our appointment as well but it was well worth it. I hope this restaurant sticks around and maintains its quality as I definitely would want to return again when I visit Paris.

This place is pricey, but the food is wonderful. The foie gras appetizer is simple but delicious - served with toast points and a fruit jam (fig?). My scallops were perfectly cooked and served over a bed of really flavorful rice. The wine list is great, if expensive. The atmosphere is also really nice - the upstairs fills up fast, but they have additional seating downstairs in what must have been a wine cellar at one point. Very cool.

This is a really hidden gem! Just around the corner of some of the most touristy parts of Paris is this really amazing little restaurant. The lunch menu for around 15 EUR has to be one of the best value lunches in all Paris. I have lived a year in Paris and I haven't found better value then this.

This place has the best lunch special I have found in Paris. There are two choices of first and second courses and then dessert. Three courses for like 13 Euro. Great ambiance, great location, great food.

Food is fine. I found a little piece in my main course and the waiter insisted I put this odd thing into the main course. Well, it's too vite to have such a bad impression of Paris. I can't say that's discrimination, because i speak English or I'm an Asian. At least I don't think I will have this experience in new york. Well if you want to hate Paris, come to this place and try.
