Le Sergent Recruteur

Food and service were excellent. My partner and I had the tasting menu with wine pairing which was good value for the quality of food and variety of wines. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to experience 1 Michelin star

Absolutely phenomenal dinner experience here! The flavors, presentation, and care put into every single dish was impeccable. Cannot recommend enough. We ordered a la carte and loved every dish. The specials for the evening were incredible.

A smallish, beautiful restaurant that I'm rating for fine dining. The service was friendly and attentive. The space is lovely. Our table had a great view into the kitchen, which is at the backnof the restaurant. My wife enjoyed that--the chefs also get a 5 star rating apparently :) Each dish is a technical masterpiece. For example, the sea urchin with roasted chestnut mousseline, enhanced with Arabica, celery confit and barely runny egg yolk. There is a mixture of flavor and texture that could easily go awry, but was constructed perfectly. The red mullet was amazing. It was the entire fish (not the head) but not a single bone or skin. How did they do this? The accompanying carrot was a masterpiece that defies description. I had the sweetbreads which were magnificent. One of complimentary desserts was a coriander sorbet. So wonderful. Wine list is compact but excellent. We enjoyed a magnificent Alsace white. The food, to sum up, is technically remarkable and delicious, as well as being classically influenced (not too abstract). We'll worth a visit for a special experience.

Lovely gourmet restaurant - perfectly located in Île de la Cité . A perfect mix of modern setting , terroir ingredients for a great fine dining experience, modern French cuisine. Service was perfect - very kind and professional.

Outstanding service and excellent dishes. The house wine are excellent choices as well. We really enjoyed the 3 course lunch here.

This was an exceptional dining experience. We arrived a few minutes early and were seated downstairs in a more private dining area (which was lovely). We chose the seasonal tasting menu, which was among the most balanced and elegant I've had in some time. Outstanding range of flavors without any dish or item overpowering any other. Wine pairings were an absolute perfect match and enhanced and complimented the meal as well as you could have imagined. Service was outstanding and attention to detail was excellent. We spent about 3h 30 min from start to finish. Never felt rushed or wanton for anything. Staff was kind and welcoming. Just fabulous and I would recommend this dining experience without hesitation.

I really can't state how much I love the staff at this restaurant and they go beyond and above in their attempts to please. Largely the food was massively inconsistent and frankly out of date. Let me get to the out of date part first, this reminded me of going to one of the Michelin star restaurants in the 2000's, since than French cuisine has evolved and thankfully simplified to some degree. There's no longer these 30+ flavors on one dish or took precedent over the conception of the dish. This restaurant definitely didn't get that message and it became an issue course to course. I went with the tasting menu with the wine pairing, which either way the wine paired well. First up were the two amuse-bouche's which one was to cleanse your pallet with something to elevate your taste buds and one bring them down to 0 and be fully prepared for the meal, which definitely served their purpose. The first course, I had to ask the waiter how to eat properly which was composed of raw scallops in a very tasty sauce, he told me eat the individual pieces and than mix it. I tried it his way and it didn't really work for me as a dish, it was much much better combined together (this would be a continued theme through the meal). It was good but wasn't delicious, it was average at best. The third dish was like a wildcard dish there wasn't anything technically wrong with it but it wasn't fully mindfully thought out in my mind. Mind you this is only my opinion and I can always be wrong. This chicken dish, it was perfectly cooked and I started to taste something I didn't expect that was taking over the dish, even though minor, I couldn't ignore it, this was a curry, and I love curry. It changed the dish drastically and it made me take a very drastic action at a restaurant, I had to deconstruct a dish at the table from a French chicken dish into a chicken curry using the sauce I had on hand. Now I'll even admit I went a little heavy in my deconstruction and should have left more chicken. I can only imagine the staff looking at this crazy guy with his knife tearing the dish to shreds lol (at Michelin star restaurant no less). The dish worked moderately well deconstructed but in general besides for the ravioli dish everything was all over the place and beyond chaotic. The dessert was alright but honestly by the end of the meal I was still hungry and just wanted to get out of there. I think this review might be a bit harsh but this was my experience.

The best meal we had on our recent visit to Paris. We went for the excellent value fixed lunch menu which gives a peek into the standard of food here. My wife went for the roasted guinea fowl for her main, I went for the fish, we shared a dessert. Everything about the experience was top notch, exceptional food, impeccable service. Highly recommended.
