Les Botanistes

A really nice French family-run restaurant! The main dishes we got were really good, especially the lamb. The menu changes once in a while too. I would say I was absolutely AMAZED by the baked mashed lentil/potato I had!! The downside is that it takes a long time for food to be served. The place is pretty small so the seats are limited. The price is also pretty high (about 40 euros per person). However, at least the service of the staff are good, and they apologized for being slow. Overall, still would recommend the place if you aren’t in a rush and are down to try some home cook French food.

I visited here again on a special day. The main duck steak was PERFECT. we were once again amazed by your excellent cuisine. What's a little disappointing is that the decorations were too simple so i can not take pretty photos for instagram! the plate a bit boring. my only one complain:) I would go again. I'm looking forward to the summer season menu.

Great experience at this French familial restaurant! Charming welcoming, delicious food, great selection of wines. You definitely have to try it - you wont be disappointed!

Amazing. Found a local restaurant nearby the department stores and we were lucky to stumble here. Most of the staff only spoke french but they were super kind and considerate. The owner/ manager was a wonderful kind woman and attended to us. And of course the food was superb. Traditional chicken and beef dishes was rightly cooked and the potatoes were the BEST I’ve ever had. Will come back to Paris again just for these potatoes!

I Came back to this small family restaurant 4 years later. Menu changes often to the fresh products that are up to the season. Selection of dishes is limited and we hoped for a fish dish, but there were many with meat and luckily one with scallops. Ordered foie gras as a starter and it was divine! For the main I took scallops which were very good with a veggie side. My mom had veal with potatoes gratin. The veal was way too chewy for her, I finished it for her. I liked it but would prefer it was more tender as well. Potatoes gratin was super though. For desert we had apple crumble and it was delicious! I would add a scoop of ice cream to compliment it. One sediment of the evening was the price of the wine which we saw on the bill only. 14€ per glass of white wine! We didn’t choose it through menu. At the beginning of the evening the owner asked which wine we would like and we sad white and dry. And 3 glasses later we saw the price for it. Learning for me - to always ask the price from now on. And I would suggest to let customers know ahead what are the options of wines with prices. I am not an expert so i couldn’t appreciate it if the wine was some exquisite one for such a price. Other than that I would love to come back and taste future menus.

Outside of my Michelin Stars Challenge, I also try the non Star Michelin which are just in the guide. This one is an honest and fair example. It’s not looking for Star but just a good well made quite simple bistrot. It’s nice n the less elegant and good. So it’s perfect if you don’t want a Michelin night but just a pleasant meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The salad is simple but very nice. The baba a good example of what a good classical baba is. Solid non star

Beautiful place with tastefully decorated interiors. The food is amazing. I love that the restaurant is family owned and run. The owner and Na Hhieu were so nice.

I can’t believe I forgot to rate this amazing place in Paris! We had the skirt steak with potatoes and a delicious light red wine recommended for us. It was the best we’ve had! Cannot wait to come back and dine here again. It’s just down the block from our amazing hotel Signature St Germain and I don’t think it should be rated 4.4. Service was also wonderful. Quiet little bistro in a busy city was a great way to wind down before venturing to the airport!
