Le Verre Volé

After a couple of days in Burgundy where the quality of meals was a mixed bag, lunch here was very welcome. Interesting and delicious wines accompanied a creative and light cuisine. All excellent, and probably the best black pudding I’ve ever had, made in-house.

The worst thing about my experience there was the clam broth I got for my entree. After I enjoyed it to the last clam, I found a lump of black mush inside the clam shell. My friends told me that it is dirt, not something that they put in purposefully. I notified the staff about this and the staff was kindly enough to go ask the kitchen for me. The staff came back to me with an answer "that was black sesame." I hate causing a scene so I just let it go, but to say that the lump in the clam I found was black sesame was BOLD, I mean the ingredient was not even listed on the menu. This ruined my appetite completely and made me disappointed in the restaurant so much. I have photo of the clams before I ate it, the broth was clean at first, by the time I got to the bottom, the broth was blackened 😂😭. The food was mid, dessert was good.

Le Verre Volé is one of those rare gems that perfectly balances the charm of a classic French bistrot with a modern, creative touch. The atmosphere is effortlessly inviting—lively yet intimate, making it the kind of place where you can lose track of time over great food and even better wine. The menu is a celebration of French cuisine, but always with a twist that keeps things exciting. Every dish feels thoughtful, prepared with quality ingredients and just the right amount of boldness. And of course, the wine selection is top-notch, with an ever-changing list that never disappoints. Whether you’re a natural wine enthusiast or just looking for a great bottle to pair with your meal, you’re in good hands here. The team is absolutely friendly and if you sit outside u’d have a great view on canal Saint Martin. I really enjoy going here whenever I am in the area.

We had the best French food in Paris last night! The dishes were incredible: black pudding, veal, sashimi sea bream, scallops, lamb kebab, squid, and chocolate mousse for dessert. The red wine paired perfectly with the meal. Highly recommend this place!

Lively, friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was exceptional and the wine selection outstanding. We will be back!

Very nice bistro and wine cave. Food is simple but delicious. Not overly heavy as tradition French cuisine might be, yet still had some interesting flavor combinations.

Where wine meets dine. A wine shop where you can eat, meaning good priced wine, a fun atmosphere and good bistro style food. Some dishes were amazing, like the mussels and stone fish yet others were good at best. There was quite a noticeable difference in level between the dishes, almost like prepared by different chefs. That said, there really is nothing to complain with all these fine wines and lovely staff. Having dishes that don’t meet expectations happens from time to time and wouldn’t discourage me from visiting again. The chefs are creative which grants them room for error over the boring same old same old chefs. Go here for great wines, buy a couple for on the road and hey, grab a bite whilst you’re there. You won’t regret it.

Starters were all epic!! We had canard and fish for mains and were both so tasty dishes. Ok it’s not average in prices but same goes for the taste. Service was excellent and even though we went for the cheapest wine option - since the list is big and also pricey- we were fully satisfied with our time there. Overall one of the expensive meals we had in Paris but definitely recommended!

An Institution place and know for serving organic wines in Paris! Food amazing as well and best bouillabaisse soup I have

Small and intimate venue with a great vibe, outstanding food and excellent service. And phenomenal wines. This really is an all-star production. Every single dish was a huge hit. The black pudding tasted like chocolate cake (according to our 14 yr old); the braised pork with cabbage was perfect seared and juicy and the beef tartare was full of flavor. If we had another day we would have gone back for another meal. Next time we're in town we definitely will. And don't forget their wines.

Good quality food and cooking, however not something that would knock you socks off and a bit pricey but overall a nice time Menu changes frequently due to the seasonality of the cooking. We shared starters of yellow pollock ceviche (good but had much better ones elsewhere), pan fried cuttlefish (again good but nothing special), aguachile of shellfish (that one was very nice for the hot weather we were having) and last but not least fried eel and aragula pesto (best starter of the night and one of the best eel I have ever eaten) a must order if its on the menu. A particularity of this restaurant is that they only have natural wine so quite young wines. The wine is very nice on a hot day but lacks of character to my opinion. Overall if you are looking for good food with seasonal products this is a nice place

Fine food overall. Got a table reserved for two even it was 2 hours away from dinner opening time--so lucked out on that. Noticed the staff to be grumpy but that may be just because of the chilly weather outside and the poor heating inside.

A bare bones bistro featuring shelves full of organic/biodynamic French wines. The kitchen pumps out the simplest of dishes. Reservation is essential, as this place gets packed, especially, on weekends. I visited for lunch, and enjoyed the experience. That said, I found the service to be, well, a little difficult in that only Parisian kind of way. If you don't speak French, get ready for some attitude here, or, a lengthy delay getting any type of wine served on time, et cetera. (At one point, I was just about to get up from my table, grab any red bottle I could find on the library walls of wine around me, and bring it to any server to open for me!) All things considered, I'd still go back, as this place has a lot of character.

One of the worst experiences I've ever had in my life. Let me start off by saying I have been in the service industry for 12 years as a server and bartender. I am a nice person and extremely gracious to servers, since I am one! Around Paris I knew a little French and would always ask people if they spoke English instead of just assuming. With all this being said: Two out of the three servers that night were literal nightmares. Our main server was aggressive, rude, mean, and arrogant. In our first exchange I had explained that I wasn't familiar with their wines, but am open to trying new wines and I normally like Chardonnay's to give you a sense of my taste. He retorted with 'We don't have any Chardonnays!" and walked away. I was judged for no reason as soon as I sat down, I can't help but think it is because I am an American and also a woman. The exchanges throughout the night got increasingly worse. To highlight a few: he was pointing me out and talking about me from the kitchen, when I politely asked for water and share plates he just walked away and never gave us either of those items, then when we asked the other rude server he basically threw two share plates at us and MINE HAD A DEAD FLY ON IT. Let me be clear, it wasn't a fly that just landed, it had been on there and dead for a while. As a server myself- the dining experience is supposed to be one of enjoyment- you are literally leaving your own house to not only have other great food and drink but also to have an experience. And to give no care for what you do and the experience you are giving people is a complete disgrace. And it's hard for me not to think the fly was intentional . Yet, we didn't yell, or even complain about the fly, we meekly asked for a new share plate and quietly stated that there's a fly on this one. The server ripped it our of my friend's hand ( no apology) and literally threw a new one on the table. I obviously couldn't enjoy myself at all or eat or drink for that matter so after a few more rude exchanges enough was enough and I had to leave. When we went to cancel the rest of our order I told them that I was extremely uncomfortable because of their actions. No apologies, and nothing was comped. I wasn't looking for anything free but WOW. When our main server came to collect payment, (the fastest I saw him do something for us all night) I calmly expressed how uncomfortable and awful he made me feel and how that's really not okay to make another human being feel so badly for no reason and that I hoped he doesn't treat anyone else as badly as he treated us because we just don't need more of that in the world. He aggressively replied back ' That's how I treat all the customers'. If that's his motto, I think that's all you need to know of why you should NEVER go to this establishment. I had such a traumatic experience that I had to leave the restaurant so I could cry. The experience you'll get from this restaurant is not a good one to say the least. You literally could not pay me to go back.

Perfect, We had a great dinner, very good food, very good service and it was cheap. The waiter was very good help with the wines and the deserts. I would go back and wish they would have a location in Miami. Thank you for the perfect dinner in Paris!

My husband and I went here on our first night in Paris fresh off the plane after 30 hours straight of traveling and no sleep. We were refreshed after arriving at this cute little wine bar with creative small plates, great ambiance, and a nice selection of tasty natural wines. What a great neighborhood gem and introduction to local Parisian life! Our senses were yanked out of jet lagged dreaminess by lovely seasonal small dishes and a big bold beautiful wine. We were delighted by the creative plates: -Tuna belly with fromage blanc and strawberry sauce -Razor clams with shitake mushrooms and a delicious broth -Suckling lamb liver with leaks -Guinea fowl duo -White chocolate mint pot de creme with juicy grapefruit slices -A cheese plate that was out-of-this world...I love French cheeses! Everything was fresh, tasty, and satisfying. It was the perfect place to share, have great conversation and enjoy the little things in life. It was a cozy space where we were able to mingle in with the locals, watch the kitchen, and feel like we belonged. The service was very helpful and gave some good recommendations. This local experience is highly recommended followed by a night-time stroll along Canal St. Martin where local kids gather to drink and hang out. It felt almost dream-like (but maybe that was the jet lag and lack of sleep). I would love to come back here the next time we're in Paris.

Well, it's a wine bar in Paris - how bad could it be? I got very lucky. My friend lives there and *she* knows a wine guy and *he* said, this is the place to go and boy was he ever right! We had the most amazing wine and food there. I will post a picture of what I had - kind of a beef stew over noodles. I think we had about five different wines. You would never know it to look at this place that it's also a killer restaurant. What was funny was that one of the wines was bad. Our wine guy sniffed it out. All of a sudden, the waiters, the owner, everyone was involved. C'est catastrophe! :) Anyway, they made a big fuss over us after that and we got even more wines! The cheese course is not be missed either. If you are in this area of Paris, definitely check it out. And a bonus for SoCal me - no smoking!

Enjoyed a quiet dinner sitting at one of the outside tables - two different seared Mediterranean tunas with summer vegetables and homemade potato crisps and for dessert, the fig with goat cheese. The food at the table next to me looked great too - they ordered my second choice - the house special sausage, potato puree and salad, and they were raving about it too. Everyone there spoke English (and menus had English as well) so it was pretty comfortable for a non-French speaking tourist such as myself.

Came here for lunch on my way out of town - I found it on Yelp - and turned out to be one of my favorite meals in Paris. Pretty casual place. Great wine list - I tried two different white wines on recommendation of the server and they were perfect. The menu is small and changes often (every day?). The dishes are super fresh and their plating is exquisitely beautiful and bright but not pretentious. Prices are pretty fair. I imagine it gets busy for dinner, so heads up.

We loved this place. It was down the street from our rented flat, so we checked it out for dinner on a holiday evening. We sat on the sidewalk, which was fun for watching the cars and people go by. We had soup and barnacles to start, which were good and different from what we could get back home. For main courses we had the chicken and the duck, which were incredible. The flavor and quality were outstanding. We had a red wine our server recommended that we really enjoyed, paired well with everything. He also told us it was strawberry season, so we had the strawberries in kiwi sorbet, which blew our heads off it was so good. This was a great experience of classic solid french dining and we were so happy to have tried it.

Total hipster neighborhood gem! You literally cannot get in without a reservation. It's a true neighborhood gem frequented by locals. They were turning away 50% of the people who walked in because none had a reservation. Food was really good and the atmosphere charming local bistro - hustle bustle and all in all a super experience. We had the traditional fare of pork belly and sausage was simple but so yummy. Hey this is not the Ritz but it doesn't pretend to be. This is a great little local whole in the wall with super consistent inexpensive food and wine by the ton. Yes Mary we're coming back!

I've eaten here twice. First time I discovered a lentil and liver salad - to die for. The second time a steak with grilled vegetables and a thick tsaziki (sp?) sauce on the side. So so good. There is a great selection of wines for competitive prices, friendly service and a romantic setting in the heart of one of Paris' best neighborhoods- canal saint Martin. Make a reservation in advance.

This restaurant was recommended to us by one of our local friends in the area period we were told that we could not miss this great a local hotspot. We arrived at 12:30 on the dot to our reservation I are beautiful table next to the window. We ordered appetizers and enjoyed them. I ordered the brain and my wife ordered the salad soup. The Brain was so delicious,it was almost like I didn't know it was brain. I love brain now.

Food was phenomenal! Limited and ever changing menu. Lots of characters and a really cozy place for lunch and dinner.

OMG, this place is ridiculous. Seriously! Home made food, in a loud tight fitting restaurant. This isn't about a view, music, shopping district, NOPE it's about amazing food. I've been twice now, and due to an upset stomach I had to avoid anything too complex so I chose the stuffed cabbage. WOW. I don't think i have ever in my life enjoyed stuffed cabbage so much! Seriously. Mashed potatoes and a light green salad came with it. Good idea since the star of the show was the cabbage. I didn't have any wine on this visit, but the waiters are willing to advise and you can carry away a bottle if you want another one for the road or a picnic the next day. You must get reservations. Mine were for 10 pm made at about 7 pm. I love this neighborhood place.

Based on the glowing reviews this place gets I came in with high hopes. Unfortunately for me Le Verre Volé did not deliver. I chose to come here with my parents and boyfriend after my parents had spent 5 days of intense food and wine touring in Boudreaux. This was their last night in Paris and we wanted something not too expensive, and not too traditional or heavy because they were tired of indulging. I found this place on Yelp, and my boyfriend called to make a booking (he mentioned the person on the phone wasn't super polite, but we didn't really think anything of it). We arrived and had a nice little table in the corner. The restaurant itself is cute, something you'd expect to see near the canal. We ordered 4 glasses of wine because we all wanted different things. It was a bit weird that we didn't get to try the wines before a full glass was poured (as usually I'm used to being able to taste when you order by the glass...also my dad did not like his wine at all and would have liked to have tried it before getting a full glass. And my boyfriend was given a glass of white when he ordered red. The waiter said he ordered it and he assured her he ordered the red at which point she took it away, but wasn't so happy to do so it seemed). Anyway, we ordered 1 pollock dish, 2 veals, and a vegetarian dish for me. My mom's fish came and looked great. But then nothing else came for over five minutes. So we told her to start otherwise her food would be cold. She said it was delicious. Then my dad and boyfriend's veal came. I told them to start without me because there was no vegetarian food in sight. My dad's was already cold and most of the meat was inedible (he really had to saw through it and did not enjoy it). My boyfriend liked his. I finally got my food over 10 minutes after the first dish came out. It was good- ratatouille with some radishes and carrots and a poached egg (I'd give the food 3.5-4 stars). The service overall just wasn't good. From the initial booking, to the huge delays in food (the table next to us had the same problem, the fish came out ages before the other dish) I am not a fan. I don't think the wait staff really cared whether we were happy or not as no one asked as our plates were taken away (my dad's piled up high with fat and inedible gristle), and overall it was not a warm or welcoming experience. There are so many restaurants in Paris that I wouldn't waste my time if I were you at a place like this. Bad service in Paris tends to be a myth, but not at Le Verre Volé.

I spent my last dinner in Paris at this wine bar/resto, and it was well worth the 45-min wait. We didn't have a reservation, and arrived around 9pm on a wednesday, hoping the crowds had cleared out by then, but alas, this cozy restaurant was full up to the brim with all ages of people enjoying wine and good food. The host - dressed in jeans and a trendy t-shirt, alluding to the slight hipster nature of this place - told us it would be a half-hour to 45 minute wait. He suggested the bar across the street, but that place too was overly crowded with nowhere to sit. So we walked around the Canal St. Martin (two buildings away from Le Verre Volé), watching the reflection in the water. Once seated across from the wine cellar, the waiter apologized for the wait, and amicably suggested a red wine (which i can unfortunately not remember the name of). We ordered; We shared a sort of asian salad with nuts and citrus, and I got the Saucisse de Toulouse, with mashed potatoes and spinach. Perhaps it was because we were so hungry, but everything melted in our mouths. After our food, we ordered dessert but they were out of what we wanted so they comped our order of fromage blanc with jam. Above and beyond :) We even made friends with the adults at the table next to us! I would definitely recommend this place, but i would strongly recommend making a reservation, especially if you're trying to go on a weekend. Here, too, is the NYTimes endorsement of this lovely venue: http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/04/03/travel/03Choice.html

What can I say ? I'm a fan. Had heard a lot of blah blah about Le Verre Volé before checking it out with my visiting cousin last month. It was the perfect sort of indulgent girls night out atmosphere, complete with cute, friendly waiters, and excellent wine recs. We had a dry white from Roussillon. I want to drink this wine every day. The food was light--just what the tummy ordered for a warm summer night--a fresh avocado and crab dish, thin slices of cool, well dressed veal, and crisp cabbage & truffle salad. The desserts were light and satisfying as well. So. uhm. I love wine bars, and Le Verre Volé is an excellent version.

It's raining in Paris and it's Monday. I only eat one bread in Paris and they're closed on the weekend. So off we go to Du Pain et Des Idées near Canal Saint-Martin. With bread safe in market bag we say what now? Lunch is in full swing but we're not too hungry after a nice home (apartment) cooked breakfast. How about a glass of wine, nothing else to do since it's raining? I always wondered if I could squeeze into Le Verre Vole for just wine and cheese. Maybe years ago but now reservations, even for lunch, are de rigueur. But the rain is really coming down and it's 13:30 and I know they close the doors at 14:00. Let's see what happens. We walk in and see a small table just about to leave. We acknowledge no reservations but he says just a minute we have this table open. We are seated and I ask if there is any Chablis? We only have a Premier Cru he responds. Natural wine I ask? Of course! is the response. This bottle will be special, I just know it. We leave for Burgundy next week and I need to practice drinking good wine. We order the cheese plate and Bordier butter which is served along with previously mentioned bread fro Du Pain. It' raining, we're drinking, the music is playing and at once I know I am in Paris. So I think we got super lucky to have this all work out but be sure to get there before 14:00 since they really like to end the lunch service. What an atmospheric place to spend an afternoon.

This is a review from the summer of 2012 that I forgot to finish. My wife and I met a waiter at another restaurant who happened to have girlfriend near us in Virginia where we live. So, in exchange for a promise to put him and his gal up in our guest room when he visits over Christmas, he took us to "his Paris" Le Verre Volé ( "The Stolen Glass" was the pinnacle of our bistro experience. Now let me say this: every Parisian has her or his own personal favorite bistro restaurant or haunt. I have absolutely no problem with this, in fact, it is to our benefit!

The food was tasty but I am giving the restaurant one star on account of the incredibly rude owner or manager of the restaurant. My friend and I decided to come here on the evening that we reunited after two years (we live in different countries). Since we are both students and young professionals and were not very hungry that evening, we decided to order a drink and an appetizer. We made our intention clear to our server. When the owner/manager brought the check, he made a sly remark that we were not allowed to have made a reservation if we only ordered a drink and appetizer. He then snatched the drink that I was still in the middle of finishing and ordered us outside. It was an awful experience and put a damper on our otherwise special evening.

More like 3.5 stars. Le Verre Volé (The Stolen Glass) is a nice little unpretentious bistro with inventive cuisine. It's located near the Saint-Martin canal, along which it is always a good idea to take a digestive stroll after a good meal. Just don't lean too close if you had one (stolen?) glass too many. If you have still room you could also have a dessert at nearby Du Pain et des Idées, one of the best bakeries in Paris. But that would work only for lunch. Prices are reasonable: 2 starters, 2 entrées, 1 dessert and 4 (smallish) glasses of wine for Eu 100, tax and tip included = Not bad for Paris. The starters were very original. Mine was a very fresh and creamy ball of mozzarella with thin slices of duck breast and orange segments (sounds weird, but surprisingly, it worked). Hers was a roasted pigeon with sweet potato purée (nice, also with an orange-y flavor). Our entrées were: roasted lamb on a bed of bulgur and green peas, with a yogurt-mint sauce (well executed); and a roasted chicken with mash and green salad (so-so: great rich mash but the chicken was just OK, not great). The dessert was a custard tart with a spoonful of strawberries and raspberries on top. Tiny slice but we were pretty full by then, so it was enough. Service was affable but could have been more attentive (very very casual). All the staff speak (broken) English, and they have menus in English. Almost all patrons in the restaurant were not French, so they are used to it. The only negatives were (1) sad, tired decor, with 2 small cramped rooms indoor which get uncomfortably hot as soon as the outside temperature goes beyond 77 F; (2) we were underwhelmed by 3 out of 4 wines by the glass we tried. Overall, I am not sure that they are worth coming back, given that there are over a dozen casual fine dining restaurants that are better in Paris.

The food is high quality and the service is good. Exactly what you want in République.

Its a wine store/wine bar which means the $ is right! hahaha The food/wine/server/chef...it was all so perfect for a casual night out with the girls.

This is one of our favourite places to eat in the world. The staff is friendly, and the menu is small and seasonal. The boudin noire is amazing - it has the consistency of chocolate mousse and all the flavour of a liver pate. Servings are big enough, but the restaurant sometimes isn't. I'm giving it a four star because I admire an atmosphere that is at once crowded and private though I'm not sure it's everybody's cup of tea. The price point is okay, and the wine suggestions weren't all that memorable.

This is an odd little place with great food and wine. The hipster vibe is very noticeable but the staff is very knowledgable about their wines. We ordered the escargot/pasta soup that was very very good. It was full of flavor and was enough to share. For the mains we ordered the duck with pumpkin puree and the pork belly with potato puree. the pork belly was amazing and the pumpkin puree was one of the best things we ate in our week stay in Paris. Such a simple side dish but it made the meal unforgettable. The duck was average but the pork and pumpkin puree were standouts. The wine the server suggested complimented our meals very well. He seemed to nail exactly what we were looking for.

Hole in the wall with funky toons when you walk in but mind blowing food and wine hangover when you walk out! This place rocks. Their menu changes everyday but you have to make reservations so it's sort of a crap shoot, but I have to tell you my chef boyfriend and I ate there twice on our short visit to Paris and both times they did not disappoint. Heads up, these guys are serious about their wine. There isn't a list as they will recommend a wine for you based on what you order from their short, delicious, seasonal menu. They have a menu in English but don't be fooled, everything here is authentic and amazing! The restaurant is tight and all of the chairs are mismatched, but if you're from a big city this won't deter you. If you are staying in the Canal St. Martin area, VISIT THIS PLACE!

Really wanted to like this place, but the pork dishes were completely underwhelming. You're probably safe with seafood here, though, so get that. I loved the tuna ceviche for starters that I got and the tuna main looked great, but the rack of pork and Guinea fowl were incredibly dry and tasteless. I was honestly surprised they even put something like that out. The service was okay - wasn't bad, wasn't amazing. Wine pairings: their saving grace (even though they don't offer tasting prior to pouring you a full glass). I've been told their food menu changes regularly so maybe it's more of a hit/miss thing. But with this current menu (as of August 2016), and given the plethora of restaurants around Paris, I wouldn't make reservations to dine here.

Great quality food with very good wine selections and spot-on wine recommendations by the in-house sommelier. Fun neighbourhood. A pricey dinner option though.

Absolutely delicious cuisine! This is by far my favorite restaurant. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. It totally lives up to the hype!

I came here for lunch after reading the great reviews. They were able to get me in right away. I had the tuna with wild rice risotto (good) and the squash and ginger creme caramel. Amazing! Great small restaurant, reasonably priced. A great taste of paris

Best wine bar experience we had in Paris. Food was delicious and fresh as well. The staff is so knowledgeable and the wine was affordable. We took 3 bottles to go. All the recommendations made were heeded and well enjoyed.

Pleasurable dining experience ruined by the stopwatch What delicious wine! What a charming waiter! In his black t-shirt and jeans, he has just the right dose of willingness to explain the minutiae of the menu and offering excellent wine recommendations, while not invading our space. My friend and I are long-time residents of Paris, and he wanted to take me here because he'd been to le Verre Volé before and loved it. We each ordered one of the two plats du jour (acorn-fed pork for me, cuttlefish for him) and immediately declared them excellent. What gives then? Our whole wonderful dining experience came crashing down when, just after paying the bill (110 euros) we settled in to chat and finish off the bottle of Morgan, only be interrupted by another waiter - much sterner and unsmiling this one - in no uncertain terms that we had to clear out. We had arrived a bit after 8 pm, it was now 10:20 pm, and our time was up! Just to make sure the restaurant truly meant to treat us like ...., I motioned to our original charming waiter, who confirmed that we had to get out. When we reserved, he said, they'd told us we had to leave for the second service starting at 10 pm. First, this is not true: they did not inform us ahead of time that our gastronomic delight would turn into a pumpkin two hours after we started. Second, and more importantly, this is a shoddy way to treat a couple who are willing to pay a decent price (110 euros is over $140) for a night out in Paris, where talking into the wee hours over a glass of delicious wine is one of the joys of living here. Despite all its quirky charms and delicious fare, I will not return to the Verre Volé because I did not appreciate being told to leave. I like to take my time and enjoy an evening out, and they are too concerned with turning over the tables to make a bigger buck. Quel dommage.

I simply loved this place. It is small, cosy and very different - in a good way. Since our French is a little rusty, we had some problems with the menu. The absolutely adorable staff :-)) helped us out, so we went with the daily specials and their wine recommendations and we're happy with it. This place is trendy without trying to be. They offer great French cuisine for acceptable prices. Many locals and regulars, doesn't feel touristy at all. Loved it!

My favorite wine bar in the world. Amazing selection of biodynamic and natural wines and great food to go with it. Easier to get a rez than all the other hot Paris joints.

Didn't quite live up to the hype. Had lunch sharing the white asparagus starter (good but neither warm not cold - parts were both) and the pork special of the day. Pork was good, nice cut of meat, came with an interesting side of rice with clams, nice if unremarkable cheese plate. Wine recommended by server was mediocre. Overall was only 60€ for 2 for lunch and solid rapport qualite/prix but definitely underwhelming after hearing all the raves.

The food and wine was good. I've given it 2 stars to off set the hype. For the price you pay for, i'd expect more. It smelled too much like the kitchen that it becomes tiring after the first hour. It'd think they'd invest in better ventilation after the 28 euro main course.

Super good food an some amazing wine. Cosy and causal atmosphere. Good value for money and nice service.

Best service in Paris. A wine selection that met my obscure tastes and a menu that is amazing. To make this short I will just say "go here"!

So, SO good. A little difficult to find if you're coming from the Bonsergent metro as I was (you come to a restaurant called Le Verre Volé Sur Mer first). The dining room is small--intimate--and the menu seems to change fairly often. My friend and I both had chorizo with mashed potatoes (which had an interesting consistency, similar to grits) and mesclun greens. It was thoroughly delicious. They don't have a wine list; instead, the server recommends one. We had a white, a Beaujelais (I think), and it complemented the meal excellently. I'm only in Paris for another 2 nights and I'm strongly considering going back

Inoubliable Ce tout petit lieu vaut vraiment le détour, au bord du Canal Saint Martin. On vous conseillera des vins délicieux, servis à parfaite température pour accompagner des plats simples mais authentiques, comme autrefois. On y passe des moments spéciaux et inoubliables pour les gourmets !

Really great place. you really eat great french food, with taste.

Great food at lunchtime. I had the pressed chicken w/curry sauce. It was similar to a terrine and served w/a bitter salad. My guest had the delicious stuffed tomato. Cute place.

Un Diner Vole. Miserable experience. Service was so poor - how frustrating to sit among walls of wine with an empty glass for 45 min. Then no attention to the needs of the table - empty wine glass, again - when the first courses finally came out. The sea urchin was off; it took 1 hr 45 min to get a main course; no bread; no napkins; again, no wine with main course. Arrogant, entitled servers and kitchen staff. Food was ill conceived; wines by the glass were disappointing when they were finally poured. This dinner was off on every note.
