Maison Rostang

"Chef Nicolas Beaumann enthusiastically perpetuates the tradition of delicious food that has always been synonymous with this emblematic establishment. His menu features a combination of "Rostang classics" and more personal dishes. Diners can still enjoy the oven-baked pike-perch quenelle, but also lobster glazed on the barbecue, or pressed duckling prepared in time-honoured tradition in the restaurant room with a silver press. The decor, at once luxurious and unusual, works its magic on newcomers and regulars alike: Art Nouveau Room, Lalique Room, Chef's Room with a window into the kitchen, artwork collection." - Michelin Inspector

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Maison Rostang. The St Pierre was a standout for me—perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor—while the quenelle was a delightful (especially the sauce!), showcasing true culinary finesse. What elevated the meal even further was the wine selection; it was refreshingly original and caught me off guard in the best way, pairing beautifully to enhance every bite. A memorable dining experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Paris.

3.5 hours of pleasure! Food was phenomenal with wine pairing. Our waiter Michael & Mathis was warm, informative, & sweet which enhance our experience! Even get to meet both the chef & Pastry chef! Ambience, food, service 5 stars! Can’t wait to go back to Paris and this restaurant!!!

This is the ultimate elevation of French comfort food. The wine pairing was really delicious, but if the restaurant is busy you may find yourself a course or two without wine. The food and the table service lived up to expectations, but the interior is in serious need of an update. Get the 7 course tasting menu here, and send yourself on a taste journey! If you aren't feeling a tasting menu, the duck is beautifully presented table side and looked delicious. Find out for yourself why this fun and cozy restaurant has two Michelin stars!

I have no words for this experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain every dish. We got the 4 course lunch menu and were also offered some complimentary dishes as aperitif and dessert. The duck filled bao bun was spectacular and the chef's signature lobster sauce is an absolute must. Thank you for this experience. We hope to be back soon!

For a final night in Paris, I tried the original degustation menu. From beginning to end it was a delectable experience, taking place for nearly three hours. My favorite was the "lobster bisque" with the airy soufflé in the middle. A wide range of textures and flavours, ranging from vegetarian to fish and chicken. Another standout was the roasted leek heart with the infusion of leek oil + champagne. Enjoyed the treat given to me to eat the morning after. Also worth mentioning the decor of the restaurant and the very attentive servers.

Incredible meal for my wife's 30th birthday. I don't have enough good words to say about this meal - the service was top-class, with a large and attentive team that is always there when you need them, but allows you space for your meal and conversation precisely when you need it. The food was delicious and the 8-course tasting menu (plus some of the best pairings I've ever had) left us more than satisfied. Hard to beat a fun and reinvinted caviar dish, or a 24 year old bottle of Sauturne to go with some cheeses. Creative and innovative cooking that builds off of French traditions. If we were in Paris for longer, we would've gone back. Only small note is that it would've been nice to leave with a physical menu to commemorate the experience, with the foods and pairings listed, but understand that's a difficult thing to do as not all tables will order the same things.

Amazing dining experience, definitely deserving of 2 Michelin stars under the new ownership after a storied history. The menu is classic French cuisine but executed extremely well. Our fussy eating teenager was even thoroughly impressed. The wine list is extensive and some well priced excellent wines that went perfectly with the meal. Aperitifs are not really considered and are a little over priced. The desserts are fantastic with an amuse bouche being a chocolate cigar that has actual tobacco leaf in it, truly an iconic dish. The bread and oh my, the house churned butter are sublime. Notably, they are one of only two Michelin star restaurants open in the summer weeks of August, testament to their dedication of building their own reputation under new the owner and Head Chef. The only consideration might be that the service might need a little uplift table side for such an haute cuisine dining experience but it was still warm and convivial.

I would say I expect better service at a Michelin 2 star restaurant, based on the experiences I had in other Michelin restaurants. We had dinner at New Year Eve in this restaurant. And we spent around 907 euros in this restaurant. In summary, food tastes are good. But I want to point out below issues I had for my dining experience: First and most important one: for the dish “blue lobster”, I found and ate one lobster shell in the dish. This is very dangerous: it can damage your tooth and even your throat/stomach if you swallow. So I pointed this out to the service staff, after long time waiting, finally the service manager came. The first reaction of this manager is, (here I quoted what he said), “this is normal, it is fresh”. —> this answer shocked me… I don’t see the logic, freshness is irrelevant here. Even not fresh lobster can have shell, this is more about their food handling, this remaining and hidden shell in this dish can cause serious issues. And their first response is “this is normal and it is fresh” ??? The manager in the end apologized about this and said to give us free champagne as compensation. But I’m not comfortable with this whole process. Second, the major service person who served our dish, became more and more sloppy when introducing the dish. In the end, he even did not finish one sentence when serving me the dish😂 I mainly used the new year eve menu as my reference. One last small issue is that when we asked if the water or sparkling water is complementary in our booked menu set, one of the service person said “yes”. But in the final bill, we found it is not complementary. So we want a clarification. But the manager attitude is quite impatient, saying “this is impossible, I give you free champagne, but not free water”. —> the champagne you gave, is due to the poor food handling and your apologies. We already spent 840 euros as dinner reservation, do you think we really care about 20 euros of water?? So I lost patient and don’t want to argue anymore. The manager saw me and then said he will wave the water.

The atmosphere: We were seated in the side room to the left of the entrance, next to the stairway down to the restroom. This availed us to 1) the glass window into the kitchen and 2) some not-so-lovely smells. Chef came out during our stay and passed directly by our table (both ways) to chat with other, I assume, more important guests. The service: Mostly good. Our main waiter (Giacobbe?) was excellent and attentive. The food was a disappointment. The reservation was made well in advance, with a notation that I am allergic to gluten. As with other Michelin rated restaurants, I ordered the tasting menu. I was asked if I could have just a little gluten. It was made clear to me that they hadn't planned ahead (as one should expect at a 2-star Michelin restaurant). I was told that I could have the tasting menu, but there would be one minor edit (there turned out to be several). I also had the wine pairings. Unappetizing and dry gluten-free toast was brought to me when others had freshly baked rolls and French breads. I had a lovely calvados as an aperitivo. The 7-courses were generally seafood and promptly smothered with some sauce. The scallop with beet was delicious. The Veal sweetbreads were lovely. Everything else was forgettable. The wine pairings were uninspired and added nothing to the meal (except the price). I've been to several 1, 2, and 3-star Michelin restaurants, so I believe that I understand what to expect. Other than the waiter, this restaurant is over-rated. Don't bother. We

Do NOT come here if you are Asian. We were seated in the back room with the only other Asian guests that night. The looks on everyone's faces when we made eye contact and realized why we were sitting in the back room - which was separate from the main dining room (which was rather empty by the way!) that I guess is for white guests only. My partner and I are both Asian American, and we are 21 which is on the younger end and we don't really match the demographic that generally patronizes the place, but the way we were treated was ridiculous. The service was extremely mediocre. You would think a 450 euro tasting for two would give better service at least, but it was slow. We saw people out in the main room who were seated later than us get served before. The waiters were cold, curt, and dismissive. And, finally when we couldn't take it any longer, and asked them to hurry up with the check, they did not even give us the last dessert (I saw other tables that did the tasting receive it). The funniest and worst part? The food wasn't even good. I will go down the list, and I can't even give specifics to the names of the dishes and the contents because the waiters were so curt with us. I'll be posting pictures with the corresponding numbers. 1. Crab dish wrapped in some sort of vegetable: worse than the crab cake I've had at home. I'm from Maryland, so I've grown up eating good seafood and this was EXTREMELY mediocre. 2. Tomato tartar? I mean it's just...tomato. The basil ice cream was actually interesting. 3. Prawn. Just seafood, could probably get something of this quality for 15 bucks 4. Watercress dipping and the middle cake is filled with caviar. very salty, only flavor was salt. The green part (watercress) was the best. People say not to waste caviar but it was definitely wasted lol 5. Some sort of fish? Took two bites and had my plate taken away. I get that it's all in the "natural r flavors" but they're toeing the line between bland and dry and "natural flavors" 6. The only good plate I've had. Veal. 7. Basically just vanilla ice cream and a bitter dessert "cigar" 8. Hot fig. Really mediocre, figs are grown all over maryland and california (the two states I mainly reside in) and I've had better figs off the street. This place isn't even deserving of one Michelin star honestly, don't come here (unless you're white, I'm sure you'll have a lovely time but I guess you're now burdened with the fact you are supporting a racist and stuck up establishment). Highly overrated and a general just a waste of money, and I had a better time and meal at the McDonald's we ate afterwords.

The service was pretty good. The food, on the other hand, was disappointing. I realize this isn't a 3-star property; all of those were unavailable. This place was able to accept my reservation. Now, I know why. I had the tasting menu with wine pairings. I've done that at other Michelin restaurants, and this is the first time I've been disappointed. The 7-courses were heavy on seafood. Each was delivered to my table, followed by a waiter bringing a tiny saucepan of sauce. He spooned, sometimes drowned the entry with it. The combination was almost always less than appetizing. Of the seven courses, I would only welcome sampling two again: a small scallop, some beets, and the other with some veal sweetbreads. And for me, someone who isn't a fan of sweetbreads, that's saying a lot. The wine pairings were neither inspired nor enjoyable. To me, a good pairing is where the combination improves the flavor profile of both the food and the beverage. For my dinner, neither helped the other. We noticed that several other diners ordered the roasted duck. That may have been the way to go. You get to watch them use a duck press, in all its pomp and circumstance, it was far less expensive than the tasting menu, and people seemed to enjoy it more. In the unlikely event we ever go back, that's what we'll do.

Une expérience très agréable. La nourriture et la présentation étaient excellentes, comme prévu. De plus, j'étais assis dans le magnifique salon Robj, qui offrait une vue sur les chefs travaillant dur dans la cuisine. J'ai été ravi de voir quelques femmes portant des toques, rarement vues à ce niveau de restaurant. Je dois y retourner lors de mon prochain passage à Paris. 2022 04 10. M2.

I have been going to Maison Rostang for about ten years now and the food is always amazing. When we arrived we asked about the wine pairing that we have been doing you years now and it seemed like the sommelier didn't know what we were talking about but then he said well I can do it for you. This time the service was just off.The bread was served after the appetizer and we had to ask for our water to be refilled. I'm not sure what was happening but for a Michelin star restaurant you would expect the service would be on point.

We enjoyed a fantastic (long) lunch at Maison Rostang. The 90 EUR lunch menu included the famous "quenelle de brochet et sa crème de homard", a must-try. Several amuse-bouches as well as a fantastic soufflé for dessert made for a memorable experience. Two Michelin stars well deserved. Bread & butter to die for, and an incredible wine menu for those with the corresponding budget.

Our number one dinner in our three day trip to Paris. Not many tables but actually several rooms with a few tables in each means you aren't on top of the other diners. I was happy that I wasn't in the room with the neon sign. My only surprise was that the lighting in general was a little bright for dinner time but the food is so beautiful I guess why not show it off. Service was very Parisienne, a little indifferent and a slightly rocky start as we kept getting food but then waiting for the wine pairing for longer than would seem normal. However it was worth the wait. We did a regular tasting menu (they have a truffle one as well but we are of the opinion that there is a such thing as too much of a good thing) with wine pairing. The sommelier was exceptionally skilled with pairing even when we threw him a loop and my husband ordered a final glass with his cheese (last night in Paris, why not live it up, even if we are getting judged). It was so good I specifically complimented him on his work. The chef is also creating quite the menu where in order to fully enjoy any of the dishes you have to combine all the components. For example, the scallops and the beets while fine alone, simply sang when eaten in the same bite. The onion "soup", caviar potato cake, cognac cigar and mango trate were my favorite bites of the night. The mains were lovely but hard to choose a favorite. Definitely worthy of a special occasion. Not near where we were staying, it was worth the ride. While it doesn't seem to be getting as much buzz as newer restaurants, I wouldn't let that deter you. Non tasting menu portions were much bigger and I'm not sure I could have eaten a whole plate because it is still rich food. So happy the leave the city of lights on a high note. Bravo!

Maison Rostang was the third Michelin restaurant that we visited during this French Open Championship week. We weren't seated at the main dining hall but it was a nice romantic room in the side. We ordered a tasting menu with wine pairing. Michel was on server. He was very attentive and his knowledge of wine is above your average level of server. His English was very good without any French accent. We visited one 3 stars Michelin and two 2 stars Michelin restaurants. Maison Rostang by far has the most tasty sauces with each dish. The tasting menu consists of 7 courses, including desserts. Each dish has its own special sauces and it complemented very well with the dish. The wine pairing accentuate the characteristics of the dish. This dinning experience wrapped up a wonderful evening in Paris. Will definitely return again in the future.

Two Michelin stars- must be good right? Eh, don't rely on that prestige as an indicator of the food. I rarely leave reviews but I felt compelled to after spending 590 euros on dinner for two (with one wine pairing). I've been to Michelin restaurants before where each dish knocked your socks off and this was far from that. The dishes were not that flavorful. In fact, we didn't finish some of them. I kept waiting for the next one to amaze me but honestly the majority of them were rather bland. The final entree was ham that actually tasted like a generic honey baked ham, if you've ever had one of those on a holiday. It didn't taste bad, but I was expecting more. The couple next to us ordered a full duck which was brought out with this big display of cutting the duck and then placing the carcass into this medieval crushing machine to extract the juice from it to use as a broth. It was quite a show, albeit kind of gross, and the end product must not have been tasty because one person didn't touch any of the plate that was served to her - several slices of bloody duck. The wine pairings were excellent however and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Service was very slow so if you plan on going, anticipate around 3 hours. Surprisingly for much of that the remnants of each plate of food was left in front of us, only being taken away before the next dish. I was surprised they weren't more attentive to that. I also would have liked more bread as that was the highlight of the meal - where's the bread basket man!? Sorry Maison... I feel terrible leaving reviews that are bad as i know most places are truly doing their best but I'm kind of offended at how expensive this was for the end result. As I said before, I've been to Michelin restaurants before and I am certainly not a picky eater, so it was disappointing to walk away feeling like this.

We booked an early dinner reservation to avoid crowds. It turned out to be the first table of the evening, but it was as if we were family and had been seated at the family table many times before. The hostess took our coats and offered us a table with a view of the kitchen, so we could watch the master chef and his team create the beautiful and complex flavor journey we were about to experience. We chose the tasting menu paired with a wine selection which took the guess work for a non- French person out of the equation and gave the French speakers seated at our table a chance to relax and enjoy the Champagne and talk about the day's activities. Our servers were delightfully happy to explain every course of the meal in both French and English with perfect clarity. When asked about a particular vegetable, the French guests all exclaimed how they never cared for this particular vegetable that was served in primary school (which I'd never heard of before) but they all were pleasantly surprised at how elevated and deliciously flavorful it was! To me it tasted like the best asparagus ever sautéed, but honestly it could have been an onion and I would have loved it. Whatever was put in front of me, was equally palatable as it was aesthetically pleasing. When it came to the lamb, I was a little hesitant never having been a fan of lamb before, but yet again...delightfully surprised at how delicious it all was. Just when you think the meal is over you get three maybe it was four deserts?? I don't know I was in a food coma at this point. But the "cigar" made with an actual tobacco leave might have you thinking the chef has just pulled a prank on you because it in no way tastes like tobacco. It tastes a tad bitter and a lot more sweet, but more like the bitterness from a Kiefer lime than a tobacco leaf! And as we left, they had our coats already prepared for departure as well as a gift bag of pastries for our morning coffee. What a thrilling experience! So glad we were able to secure a reservation!!!

Omg! Our first 2 Michelin star experience and all I can say is Wow! A must if you're in Paris and want to splurge on a truly one of a kind meal! The restaurant is classy without being stuffy and showcases an eclectic collection of porcelain figurines that the owner personally acquired. There is a Classic menu and a Seasonal menu available, 'Le Menu Tout Truffe'. You can choose between 5 (E250, or E295)or 6 courses on the seasonal so we chose 6. Plus being a black truffle special how could we resist especially since we don't have a truffle season in Vancouver or Canada for that matter! The menu went like this: En Amuse Bouche - la petite bouchee gout truffe Le presse de Foie Gras et truffes La Soupe D'Artichauts Violets aux truffes noires Le Gateau de Topinambour et truffes jaune d'oeuf tiedi La Saint-Jacques Contisee a la Truffe en feuilletage La Volaille de bresse Mieral a la mode dauphino pommes puree aux truffes La Pomme Tentation Fondante cremeux a la truffe noire et sorvet pomme en truile craquante Everything was excellent, however, by the time we got to the chicken breast, we were so full and the chicken seemed so ordinary amongst the other dishes that I didn't feel too badly about not finishing it all. There was profuse amounts of fresh truffle shaved over almost everything and after the dessert were some more desserts! So, if you decide to dine here, eat nothing all day long and skip the bread! Have your aperitif and wine to go along with your meal, make a reservation ahead of time and just enjoy the fabulous creations the chef has conjured up for you! Not to mention the attention to details like warmed plates and fresh cutlery with each serving as well as excellent service. Bon appetite!

Good, not amazing. Not deserving of 2 stars. Service lacks energy, enthusiasm and passion. Waiters were slow and inattentive. I poured my own tea on three occasions despite multiple waiters walking by and seeing my empty cup. Unacceptable for an alleged 2 star. Few good dishes, but overall I would skip this restaurant. Go to alleno, le tailevent, kei, le clarence or Chez George instead.

Full review in the blog: When someone asks me about the very best meal I had in Paris Michel Rostang is not the first name to come to mind, yet at the same time if I were asked to explain the most "classical French dining experience" of the trip our lunch in front of the kitchen window at 20 rue Rennequin is precisely what I would describe. Family owned and operated since inception and garnering 2-Michelin Stars the year I was born I was told by friends that this would not be the most revelatory experience in the City of Lights, but that if one ordered correctly it could be a stellar meal at a comparatively good price and while Rostang's kitchen may not produce items as delicious or distinctive as Gagnaire or Barbot I can say without batting a lash that my friends were right. With orders placed and water filled it was a short wait before the meal would begin and during that time we each made a visit to the gilded downstairs restroom largely to see the two separate wine rooms - one quite enormous and rustic with the other well appointed and behind glass showing off some of their more esoteric selections. With the restaurant less than half full throughout our meal we also were left time to remark on the how charming the room was with its heavy wood paneling juxtaposing delicate lace curtains and a collection of ornate statuettes and dolls displayed along the wall - the whole feel like dining in a stately mansion, or as the case may be, the private residence and vision of Monsieur Rostang. For our first course of the afternoon there were six choices and all but one sounded enticing but in the end my love of foie gras won out and my server would soon arrive with "Fresh Sea Scallops and Foie Gras Ravioli in a broth of algae, root vegetables and herbs." Ever professional if not a bit too serious I was warned that this soup was "hot - as you like it" completely straight faced and indeed it was; it was also wonderful. With the scallops caramelized on the exterior and nearly raw within and the pillows of foie lightly kissed with balsamic the sweet proteins melded nicely with carrots, turnips, and rutabaga while the savory broth sang of Asian inspired umami - an admittedly surprising flourish considering the chef's classic stylings. For my main course, a classic by any definition as it was handed down from Escoffier by way of his father, the selection was easy - La Quenelle de Brochet soufflé a la crème de homard "comme le faisait Jo Rostang" - a serving practically half the size of a regulation basketball and nearly as orange. Plated tableside and served with nutty saffron rice this admixture of pike, egg, and bread was impossibly fluffy and delicious on its own, but what truly raised it to its legendary status was the buttery lobster sauce which was baked to a leathery dome atop with more added not once, not twice, but thrice during the course of it's consumption. While everything at Michel Rostang was delicious this dish was alone worth the visit and undoubtedly one of the five best savories I had on the trip. Having missed out on my soufflé the night before and already bearing witness to the sort of products coming out from under the kitchen's Salamander our dessert selections were similar but entirely different - for my sister the Hot Chocolate Souffle with Cocoa Ice Cream and Black Pepper Whipped Cream and for myself the Salty Butter Caramel Souffle with Williams Pear Sorbet. Larger than expected and with outfitted in silver both I can only note that both were beyond reproach - tall, proud, piping hot, and a cloud of sweet balanced by the nuances of their respective sauces. As an added bonus it should also be noted that the ice creams at Rostang are every bit as good as those at Berthillon - particularly the dark chocolate which is trumped only by Philadelphia's Capogiro for best Chocolate Ice Cream I've ever tasted. Having already noted my overall thoughts about Rostang at the start of this review I think it is important to say that although the meal wasn't "the best," it did fall in the setting of a shear embarrassment of riches unlike any trip I've ever taken...in almost any American city Rostang would be the best restaurant in town by leaps and bounds. While the food was perhaps "old school" there were certainly flourishes that made it stand out and additionally, while the service and room were a bit stodgy and not as much fun as that of Le Cinq or Guy Savoy both were every bit on par with that of LeDoyen or Le Pre-Catalan. In the end I'd gladly go back not only for the quenelles or the soufflé, but also because by being "old school," Michel Rostang represents something quite unique in the new world of Barbot and Bistronomy.

If you want some of the best of French cuisine this is where you come. For starters, the service is top notch. The waiters are very kind and attentive. Our main waiter was particularly great and had a great sense of humor, which was especially impressive given that English was not his first language. We ordered the 8 course tasting menu. It was mostly amazing, though there was one misstep for me - the fish. But there was scallop, and duck, and a ton of other amazing food. And when I say a ton, I mean it. Oh and not to forget the potatoes dauphinoise! You've never had creamy glorious potatoes like this. I asked for a bag to take home the last round of little desserts they gave us because we literally couldn't eat another bite and I somehow ended up with a container of extra potatoes in our doggie bag due to a language mix up. Can't say I was mad about that... One place where Maison Rostang really got it right for me was the desserts. SO many Michelin restaurants do an incredible job with the savory portion of dinner but the desserts end up lacking or are too crazy. Maison Rostang's desserts were the perfect ending to a great meal. The first was a "cigar" with cognac cream. Look, I'm mostly a "if it's not chocolate, it's not worth it," kind of dessert person, but this was insane! The outer shell was crunchy and flaky, and the cream was the perfect amount of richness. The second dessert was baked pear with chocolate sauce, which is a really inadequate way of describing a very wonderful dessert that I ate every bite of despite the fact that I was bursting at the seams.

As you'd expect, this is not a budget eatery. We went for lunch, however, and had an amazing experience for a little over $400 for two, which at the level of Michelin two stars could even be considered a bargain. And, actually, it really was. The dining room is beautiful and restful. For lunch there were only three other couples and the waitstaff also numbered six! The atmosphere was hushed but relaxed. The wine list, considering what was offered, was pretty reasonable. We drank a beautifully aged premier cru Burgundy for $80, probably a bit less than I'd pay at Otium in Los Angeles. The food was beautifully prepared and elegantly served. For my main course I had a fish soufflé that I don't have the culinary skills to describe, but that I could enjoy once a week for the rest of my life. We're middle class professionals, not rich by any standard, but I'm so happy we had this experience and when we return to Paris we'll repeat it.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here, can see why it has two Michelin stars! We had the 8 course tasting menu and boy was it good! It felt like a lot more than 8 courses because of all the in-betweeners. All of them were great and we couldn't choose our favorite! The service was great, they explained in English & French to accommodate everyone at our table.

This is a short review but important to me, at least. Many of us have been to premier restaurants and find them good, even very good. Maison Röstang is special. As soon as you arrive you are greeted by hosts and hostesses who are attentive and welcoming. You are escorted into one of the three rooms that are works of art in themselves. You are transported into a special world. Most of us do not have the pleasure of this kind of culinary experience often, but when it happens, you know you are very, very fortunate. The food is extraordinary! It's as if you are eating clouds with flavors and substance never before experienced. One course after another exceeds all expectations. The plates may seem demure but the food is overwhelming...and wonderful. As if this were not enough, the service is friendly, engaging and personal. Special thanks to Barnaby, Mikel, and George who made our evening perfect. To all, including most especially the chefs and Monsieur Röstang, we say, Merci!

This has been and will continue to be my absolute favorite spot in the world. I've now been twice and have not been disappointed in the slightest. Get the artichoke and truffle soup if you can. The pasta and cod and risotto are also killer. It is worth every penny (it's $$$$$$). The service is incomparable. Wonderful environment and location. I cant speak highly enough of this special place. Make a reservation as soon as you can (and well in advance). Best wine of my entire life here also.

This review does not involve a recent experience. My parents exposed me to fine dining at an early age. So, at age 25, December 31, 1985, I knew what was excellent and what was merely mediocre. On the above date, my folks and I enjoyed what I believe was the finest meal I have had to date. Just thinking about the Rostang tasting menu we enjoyed that evening gives me goosebumps all these years later. I haven't the foggiest idea what I ate. But I do recall that each course was more magnificent than the last. When we finished, well after midnight, we walked outside to find snow falling. Now, I'm certain that while Monsieur Rostang had nothing to do with this, I'll never forget this perfect ending to a perfect meal. It is heartwarming to see that this restaurant is operating all these years later. Best wishes from a fan.

As I walked in the door I knew I was going to have a great evening. Food, service, presentation all five stars. Considering the attention to details, uniqueness of flavors, the restaurant exceeded all my expectations. Probably the best restaurant I have been to!

Old School! Yes, old school and that's precisely why we went! Service was excellent and lovely room(s) with rich wood paneling. Everybody happy happy happy. Food was per my wife, best she's had in Paris; for me, not so much. Her asparagus and morels were devine as was her lobster bisque entre (La Quenelle de Brochet souffle) - the cheese platter was well, two full tables of choices - wow. My food was just ok... nothing bad nothing not prepared properly, just didn't jump off the plate at me. 575E later, glad we went but thank you. It's a 3 for me, but 5 for her and thus 4****

The place to go for a great food experience. We booked for a business lunch with the prix fixe menu. It may sound a little expensive before you tried it. Just let them guide you through, wines, amuse bouches, and a great choice of terroir food not easy to find anywhere else. My tip: whether you need it or not, go to the basement and take couple of minutes staring at the cellar(s): sounds like the Fort Knox of wines with everything you wished you had at home.

Service was great, traditional, very attentive. I had the pressed duck on my list of things to do, it was nice seeing the process and the duck was well prepared, but you have to like and appreciate a heavy traditional sauce, otherwise try something else on the menu. The basement is filled with fancy wines, I saw a latour 1916, obviously the wines can cost more than the meal easily. Even though I brought my 3 and 9 year old, I would not recommend it if you could do without your kids.... there is a total of about 10 tables, a reservation is a must. Make one online, it's quite easy on their website. We got greeted by Michel Rostang, quite a friendly man, too bad we didn't speak much French. If you order the duck, you must order 2 people therefore 176euros. The starters are not really to share, make sure you order your own individually, overall we enjoyed our experience that made up for our difference in taste preference.

I'm not impressed by this restaurant. The service is rather slow, especially at the entrance. Chaos to lead us to the table. The food is amazing, but not surprising. The tall blond manager was kind, but too amicable. Even hitting my shoulder, like friends do. I prefer a more distance and formal way between servant and guest. But that's my opinion. If you a looking for a star restaurant with rather star service, I would recommend restaurant Frédéric Simonin, nearby Rostang.

This is one of the most sub-par Michelin star experiences that I've had. All the dishes were all pretty mediocre to my taste buds with a few standouts. The biggest highlight for me was the John Dory portion of the meal. It was perfectly flavored and went well with the sides. The rest of the dishes were underwhelming or just bad. In particular, I did not enjoy the pigeon. The first bite was okay but every subsequent left a strange undesirable flavor in my mouth. I was also a little disappointed that our server did not seem knowledgeable about the preparation of each dish. When we asked about the preparation of a few of the dishes, she was unable to give us an answer. I left feeling that the 200+ price tag was worth the experience.

Best meal of the trip was at Michelin Star (2) Restaurant Michel Rostang in Paris, France. What better time than truffle season to experience the extraordinary dishes that are exquisitely prepared for the tasting menu. Make your reservation well in advance and be sure to leave room for dessert! You won't regret it!

This is the best French cuisine on the planet. Of course, one gets the pressed duck, which is incredible. To start, I recommend the truffle sandwich (sometimes on the menu, sometimes not, but order it in either case!): toast, lots of butter, lots of perfect truffles. It will blow your mind. The wine list, of course, is simply superb. Do whatever you have to do to go to this restaurant.

We tried the tasting menu and every course is delicious. Compared to the Michelin two star and three star restaurant at United States, we feel the quality of food at Paris is better.

One of the best dining experiences of my life. The food and ambience were excellent and the staff was extremely friendly and professional. I consider this a must-have dining experience in Paris.

Enjoyed with friends a wonderful meal of pressed duck and excellent wine. This is my second time at Rostang and highly recommend if you're willing to pay for a superb meal in Paris.
