Monsieur Bleu

Monsieur Bleu is a beautiful and sophisticated restaurant—both inside and out. From the terrace, you get a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower, though it’s partly covered by tree leaves. Inside, the high ceilings, warm lighting, and art deco-inspired design create a truly stunning atmosphere—refined yet comfortable. It’s definitely on the expensive side (around €100 per person), but you’re paying for the whole experience—ambiance, service, and presentation. As for the food: • Artichoke salad (entrée) – I honestly didn’t quite get it; beautifully presented but not very convincing flavor-wise. • Filet de bœuf – Very nice, tender, and perfectly cooked 👍🏻 • Cocktails – Absolutely outstanding. Elegant, creative, and balanced—easily one of the highlights of the evening. Overall, Monsieur Bleu is a place to go for the experience: chic design, great drinks, and that Parisian magic. Perfect for a date night or a classy evening out.

When we first arrived at the restaurant, they seated us in a corner where we couldn’t see the Eiffel Tower at all. Luckily, after we insisted strongly, we got a table with a view of the tower. The main draw of this restaurant is just for taking photos and checking in—the food was an absolute disaster. It was so terrible that even someone like me who isn’t picky about food couldn’t force it down. It tasted exactly like pre-made meals, and it was way too salty. As a result, our group of two adults and three kids ended up drinking four bottles of water that tasted like plain tap water, which cost us 40 euros alone. All in all, we spent a whopping 300 euros on this meal. Actually, I’m totally obsessed with desserts, and it was my birthday on top of that—but we really didn’t dare to try any. Not a single dish was to my liking; the bread was just barely edible ，Of course, these are just objective facts. Since it’s my birthday today, my mood wasn’t ruined at all—by the way they had a good view for taking pictures of 🗼 📸

We had the best time eating here. The food was 10/10 and the service even better. The staff were so welcoming and attentive I felt I was at home being looked after. The view is breathtaking great for pictures. When I visit Paris again I will definitely be back to visit Monsieur BLEU.

Disappointing 21st Birthday Experience I booked this restaurant weeks in advance because it advertised views of the Eiffel Tower and requested a table with a view for my 21st birthday. The view was the main reason we chose this restaurant. Despite this, we were seated in a far corner with no view at all. When I politely asked to move, the hostess insisted there was no availability, even though we walked past several tables with the requested view. There was also no acknowledgement that this was a milestone birthday. Service was disappointing throughout. The waiter didn’t ask how I wanted my €49 steak cooked — I had to specify — and later returned to ask what we had ordered. Our starter and side were forgotten, and only the mains arrived. My steak came extremely well done and chewy. Although it was remade correctly and came with extra fries and sauce, even cooked how I liked it, it was definitely not worth €49. The manager did remove two very overpriced cocktails from the bill as an apology. While I appreciate the discount, it didn’t make up for what was meant to be a special 21st birthday dinner. Overall, the experience did not live up to the price or reputation, and I left feeling very disappointed.

One of my favourite restaurants in Paris. The terrace is especially lovely in summer…chic, spacious and vibrant. Food is good, though not exceptional, and the service is consistently solid. Always a pleasure to return.

Great venue for enjoying brunch in Paris. Right across the street from the Seine. Not a great view of the river. When you finish your meal, just cross the street and see a great view of the Eiffel Tower. From there it’s only a 20 minute walk to the tower.

Monsieur Bleu is a gem of a restaurant, blending exceptional cuisine with a stunning location inside the Palais de Tokyo. With views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower, the setting alone is worth the visit. We ordered the sea bass and pork belly entrées, both beautifully plated and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes were a standout; creamy, rich, and unforgettable. While the prices are on the steeper side, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it well worth it. Service was attentive and professional, rounding out a memorable dining experience. If you're looking to treat yourself to a refined meal in a breathtaking setting, Monsieur Bleu delivers.

Food was delicious. My dry martini was perfection. Ambiance, outdoor, with the view of Tour Eiffel. Thomas our server was wonderful,attentive, friendly and courteous. Restaurent was recommended and booked by our concierge.

We just a had corporate dinner at Monsieur Bleu, My perspective - Location/View: A+ Located right next to the Palais de Tokyo, and with a great view of the Eiffel Tower, the location and the scenic view is spectacular. Service: B+ Efficient and attentive. Appetizers: A Their tuna tartar was excellent. Main Entrée: C- I had their sea bass filet with tomatoes, basil, and eggplant. Nothing special... the sea bass was a bit bland and their mushy eggplant side missed the mark (no one on our table appreciated the consistency and taste). Additionally, this entrée was miniscule. Desserts: B Good but not excellent. Our table shared the Almond and Raspberry Pavlova, the Vanilla and Red Fruit Mille-Feuille, the Profiteroles, and the Strawberry and Rhubarb Tart. These desserts didn't measure up to the amazing desserts we've been sampling in many great Parisian locations. Portion Sizes: F Yes, I know portion sizes in France are small. And admittedly, I come from the US where portions can be enormous. But the portion sizes at Monsieur Bleu are embarrassingly small. I had to stuff my face with bread to fill my belly. My 5-year-old self would've gone hungry... So despite the incredible view and location, I'm not planning on returning anytime soon.

Despite being a popular restaurant for tourists, my friends and I had a wonderful time at Monsieur Bleu. The food was excellent (a favorite among all of us was the green bean salad) and you can't beat its location right by the Eiffel Tower. The restaurant was unsurprisingly quite full and loud while we were there on a Saturday night and everyone was having a good time.

What a phenomenal evening at Monsieur Bleu. I wanted to have a "bougie dinner" one night on our family trip, with views of the Eiffel tower. Monsieur Bleu is located at the Palais de Tokyo and it is absolutely stunning. The restaurant is directly across from the Eiffel Tower and has a patio with great views. However, it's too cold to have the patio open so we ate inside. It is soooooo vibey in here. There's a DJ playing melodic deep house music and everyone dining in there seems fabulous. Our server Mateo was hilarious and ensured we had a great time. We ordered a looot of food. To start we got the beef carpaccio and the buffalo mozzarella. It was the most massive portion with an heirloom tomato salad. For dinner I split pork belly and cod with my sister. The cod was absolutely divine. We also got sides of truffle tagliatelle and jasmine rice bc why not. The pork belly came with mashed potatoes and they were so perfectly whipped. For drinks I got a dirty martini and also a lychee martini. Both were good. For dessert we got the pavlova and they sent us what tasted like a ferrer rocher chocolate since it was our Moms birthday. While this restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, if you want to splurge and dress up and have a vibey dinner it is definitely worth it.

Not gonna lie, I didn't love this place. We didn't have reservations and was glad that we got to try it. Main restaurant was big and loud for dinner. We were taken to a cramped second floor where it seemed like there were no windows. We were seated right by the stairs. The servers had to carry every single thing up and down the stairs. Not really sure if there was an elevator. The food was pretty decent, but nothing I can say was life changing. Had the foie gras with toasts for appetizer, salmon and pork belly for the main courses, and unfortunately had to skip dessert because we wanted to catch the last Eiffel Tower light show at 11 pm. All in all, a nice experience when in Paris.

Another one of my favorite dinners from Paris! The Paris Society does not disappoint. The restaurant is a bit hard to find -- it's located on the backend of the Palais de Tokyo, but I have to say that the vibes here were so nice and pristine. My friend and I came for a nice dinner after work, and it was such a fun time. I started off with the Kyoto cocktail, which was refreshing and not too strong. We then got the Lobster Roll to share as an appetizer and I got the Tataki Crusted Ahi Tuna as my main. The Lobster Roll was a trendy take on the classic dish, though I thought they were a little skimpy on the portion of lobster, and the toast really. carried this one The tuna dish was delicious, but my favorite part of this was the avocado salad that accompanied it. It was citrusy and very fresh. Dining here felt like a real treat, and highly recommend for an upscale evening :-).

My friends and I had an excellent time at Monsieur Blue: the food was the best we had in a 5 day Paris trip and the service was also on par. As a starter I had the Ravioli with langoustines and foie gras - absolutely delicious and so were my friends' starters. The mains were also very good, we had the seabass, steak and the octopus - all executed to perfection. In addition, the bottle of margaux we picked was absolutely fantastic. I initially was a bit hesitant as I was afraid that it would be a tourist trap, but the service was correct and the view of the Eiffel tower just added to the atmosphere. Will defo go again - highly recommended!

Food, service and ambiance were good. Best food u found in Paris.. I would definitely go back to this place

Food-Exquisite Service-Top Notch Ambiance-Beautiful With that being said I cannot give this restaurant the 5 stars it deserves because I saw mice running around the restaurant. At LEAST 3 times while we ate dinner. I dont know how normal that is in Paris but it freaked me out because the restaurant isn't empty. There a several tables here, loud talking & music playing...to see multiple mice or the same mouse several times is unacceptable. Informed the staff and the manager said "oh there's construction going on so there are a few mice running around" like it was okay. Please don't waste your money if you don't mind eating with mice at your feet.

We made reservations in advance. Arrived a little early and was going to wait in the patio until being seated as one of the waiters told us to. The hostess then came by in a snooty French tone and said "We are not open". We were then one of the first tables to be seated. Looking for something light,we ordered the Spicy Beef and the seared Tuna. Not one minute later,they brought our order out. They had to be precooking. Now the Tuna was supposed to be served cold,but it was gray through out Not from being over cooked ,but from sitting too long after cooking-maybe overnight? Overpriced, not impressive, served with an attitude. Don't believe you will get a view of the Eiffel Tower!

Just overall bad experience. Did not enjoy the service. Was recommended something we did not like. Thought it could of been us till I heard the server near our section better explain the item to his guests. Feel like we were pegged as tourists and just not given a great time. Ended up getting something else and they did not offer to take the first item off the bill. Spent 150 Euros on a steak that was undercooked. Manager and server came to table after they debated bringing it to us near us for 20 seconds. I took it because some of it was fine and we where not taking to go items with us. No offer of dessert or apology on miss steps still. We were recommended this restaurant by our hotel but we ended just wasting our money here. If this is what counts as "High End" in France I think we can find much better locally and that's disappointing. Would not recommend this place. Not worth the money and def felt like we where not taken care of.

Although the inside was dark, and just okay aesthetically, the food at Monsieur Bleu was the BEST we had in Paris. The photos all highlight their gorgeous garden patio with views of the Eiffel Tower, but in the colder months they don't seem to use it (which was a bummer). We loved that they had a live DJ spinning tunes and the Spicy Beef was astounding; like melt in your mouth amazing. The staff was super friendly as well, and happy to help us in English, after we tried our best in French. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Paris to visit Monsieur Bleu-- food was exceptional, vibes were great, overall ambience inside were okay.

We had been looking forward to eating at Monsieur Bleu for several months, not just for the food but also for the ambience in the beautiful Joseph Dirand-designed dining room. Imagine our surprise on finally arriving for the big event (a birthday celebration) and being told that the dining room was CLOSED. No explanation was given by the haughty hostess, who seemed annoyed to have to answer questions. We were shown to a table on the patio, which is very lovely but nowhere near as elegant as the dining room. For the good points: The service was excellent, with the waitstaff well-versed in English (although I speak French, my dinner companion did not) and very attentive. The food also was very good and beautifully presented. But we were ultimately disappointed that the restaurant did not make it clear in advance that the only seating option would be on the patio. Another note to management: Why require guests to wait outside the restaurant in the desolate concrete plaza of the Palais de Tokyo for the first (7 pm) seating when you could open the bar area at 6:30 pm and allow people to have a cocktail while they wait?

Food, service and ambiance were amazing. Escargot- incredible. Amazing drinks. Thought the place would be overhyped but it's definitely worth it.

I came here because it was walking distance from my hotel. The restaurant is rather hard to find, I had to call and ask for help with the walking directions and the staff was very friendly and assisted me. Once arriving the staff was again very friendly. The outdoor seating area is beautiful with an amazing view. The restaurant has quite a few vegetarian options. I got the truffle pasta and it was so delicious, I cleaned the plate. The drinks were delicious as well. The waiter was attentive the entire time. I would highly recommend to all travelers!

Came here last week on my trip to Paris! The location was great as you can see a view of the Eiffel Tower. However, the only thing good here was the truffle pizza. The lamb chops here are so overpriced and wasn't good at all. Very bland and flavourless. The raspberry martini was pretty good but that's it. Wouldn't recommend to dine here. The service was okay as well.

Beautiful restaurant with (some) views of the Eiffel Tower depending on where you are seated. The restaurant is classy and gorgeous, with high ceilings and velvet curtains and chairs. Loved the vibes! The hostess at the door could care less about us though and was borderline unfriendly, but that's fine since our only interaction with her was when we entered the restaurant. The service from our actual waiter was good. We were seated in an area near a wall/fireplace that didn't have views of the Eiffel Tower so that was unfortunate. We ordered the octopus carpaccio and house made foie gras to start. We've never tried octopus carpaccio before but it was delicious! Lots of flavor and thinly sliced octopus, but not so thin that you couldn't taste it. Foie gras was good, but didn't entirely stand out. For our mains, we ordered the spicy beef and truffle tagliatelle to share. The spicy beef came with a side of tom yum sauce and coconut rice, which complimented the beef nicely, however it was not spicy. The truffle pasta was good as well but not mind-blowing. The pricing is on the higher end but none of the dishes really wow-ed me except for the octopus carpaccio. Overall, unless you can get a table with a view, I think there are other French restaurants with better food (and nicer hostesses, I hope).

Great service , food, location, and atmosphere. Had the escargot, saddle lamb, foise grois, and scallops. Wine was good, mood was nice, lighting my was nice, super close to the Eiffel Tower, great place to go for dinner.

The restaurant has a magnificent dining room unfortunately we did not get to eat in it instead we were ushered upstairs to a windowless small dining area that felt closed in. The food was great but I would not recommend this restaurant unless they sit you in the Main dining area.

Dinner with the family and fiancée here. Everything was wonderful. Great staff and views of the Eiffel Tower.

Went for a work lunch and everything on the menu looked good. Staff spoke Francais et Anglais. The outdoor and indoor dining spaces were beautiful, a perfect balance of modern chic and vintage classic park room.

We had a wonderful experience. Cocktails are a treat, check out martinis. Bean salad was light yet savory. Beef and frites and sea bass were excellent

Our server was very sweet and she spoke English and Spanish which was very helpful as my French is very minimal. The food was by far one of the best we had while visiting France! I would have to say the portioning was a good-filling size which is intentional in order to fully savor the entire meal. Would highly recommend and on our list to come visit when back in Paris. The attire is very classy and formal but we didn't know when we came in. Luckily we weren't turned away and got to experience this amazing place!

Best dinner in quite some time. Everyone loved their dinner plus appetizers, sides and dessert was all amazing. Best dirty martini i have had in a while. Great place and nothing disappointed

While in Paris we ate at two Michelin star restaurants. Monsieur Bleu was better than both of them. The beef tartare was magique. We went on a Monday at 12 and they weren't too busy, but it did pick up as we left. The vibe was upscale- dress business casual for sure. The patio is lovely with glimpses of the Eiffel Tower. There is actually a string of Paris society tables restaurants we ate at Monsieur bleu and Giraffe. They were our best two meals. Highly recommend.

Rock shrimp, lamb chops and tuna tataki were all delicious. Our service was awesome! Would definitely recommend.

While on a couples vacation we discovered this gem. The French wine that the waiter recommended was beyond extraordinary. Some plates are small and some are larger. We had the búfala mozzarella that is cut table side was amazing. We had the escargot, delish and the grill octopus. The octopus was tender as can be, served with a red pepper sauce and chorizo. One of the best I've had. The view of the Eiffel tower was a great touch to the great ambiance!

Service and food quality here was unacceptable. I'm echoing the same issue as others. In short, cold and improperly cooked food, bad service, lack of attention to detail, and overpriced. The beef was semi-warm. Not hot. The sauce on the octopus was cold. The octopus was chewy and not properly charred. We ordered a side of French fries. They were €20 and came in a small bowl and they were simply just french fries. Not seasoned or with any added value (Parmesan, basil, truffle etc...). Way too expensive for a small bowl of french fries that were very basic. The basket of bread was not good. Great was tough and hard. Not sure why they're not serving freshly baked bread. Had to call the waiter several times to refill our waters. He forgot the sauce that the beef came with. Which he then brought straight out of the fridge. He recommended a side and forgot to bring it. €24 glass of champagne was brought already served in the glass to the table. Most high-end restaurants will serve at the table and allow you to taste before serving. Don't know what is going on here with that. Lastly, beef was ordered as medium. It was brought our blue rare almost raw in the center. Waiter confidently told us it was medium and offered to place the same beef on the stove for a little longer. It was brought out correctly cooked but without the sides and garnish. After our meal, waiter asked for tip and did not offer to add value or como anything despite knowing the service we received. Not a good practice when you underperform. I do not recommend this place. You will regret eating here.

Classy and elegant with over the top service! The view of Eiffel Tower is only visible from the outside but this place is each bit romantic as can be! Definitely recommend it

We really enjoyed our visit to Monsieur Bleu. We had arrived in Paris from Bermuda the night before and had made reservations for lunch as our friends had recommended. We loved the atmosphere and had excellent customer service. Our food server was Sedi (not sure how to spell his name) He made great recommendations and kept our champagne glasses full. We had the escargot, the artichokes, and the beef fillet cooked perfectly and sliced table side by the maitre d who was very visible and definitely ensuring high quality food and service was being provided. One of the best experiences we had in Paris. We would highly recommend to friends and would return should we visit Paris again...Sante!

My boyfriend was recommended this place for us to visit when we went to Paris and it was honestly the best meal we had while there. We sat outside facing the Seine (and technically the Eiffel Tower but it was blocked by trees). We started with the beef tartare which was hands down the best beer tartare we've ever had. I still think about it lol They also served complimentary bread as well as some delicious warm french fries. For the meal, my boyfriend got the pork belly with delicious potatoes and I got the seared tuna. Both were very good, but I liked his pork belly a little bit more. Overall a great experience, server was kind and friendly. Personally we weren't in a rush and enjoyed the gorgeous October weather, but it was more of a leisurely meal so keep that in mind if you're on a tight schedule.

Excellent. Beautiful view of Eiffel Tower at night. Very sophisticated and chic vibe. Had spicy beef. It was great. Amazing cocktails and an overall amazing time. Reservations weeks in advance in an absolute for a place like this.

AMAZING!!The staff was friendly and the restaurant is definitely on the "higher end" minus the "uptight" feel. Did I mention, the views of the Eiffel Tower (would suggest going at night) Would definitely recommend 10/10

A seat by the window and time it so u are there for the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower makes for a perfect evening!

How do I begin in this exceptional review? This was one of my favorite restaurants in Paris. Monsieur Bleu is an excellent restaurant with on point service in the heart of beautiful Paris nearby a view of the Eiffel Tower. I was there on Mothers Day with my son while on vacation. I ordered the fish and it was prepared and plated to perfection. The ambiance is lovely. We sat outside in view of the many beautiful plants. The service was absolute perfection and professional as I typically found in many restaurants in Paris. Note to remember: book a reservation in the evening so you can see the Eiffel Tower lights. I look forward to returning in the future.

Just wow!!! The service, the food was just amazing!! We definitely recommend this place! The food is not overpriced and the view is amazing! Drinks were on point too!

Filet was pretty good. The onions and parsley made the steak taste even better. Would definitely come back!

Great food and a great view of the Eiffel tower, especially after 8am when the tower lights up every hour. We ate here because we were waiting for it to be dark to take the Seine Cruise. We are glad the food didn't disappoint but it is pricey. I am not sure if I would come back on my next trip as there are other wonderful restaurants that are less expensive.

One of my favs in Paris. The food is outstanding- that's a given. But the experience is first rate. The location, vibe, scenery and staff are not to be missed. Sit outside. Reservations required. In September 2022 we enjoyed a Domaine Drouhin white, escargot, citrus salad, tuna tartare, filet mignon. Superb.

Monsieur Bleu was a very big disappointment. They claim to have a view of the Eiffel Tower when in fact, it's covered by a tree. The menu is very expensive with mediocre food. In addition, we had an exceptionally poor experience when we tried ordering light for a group of four with mainly appetizers, and we had the manager approach us telling us we had to order at least THREE main dishes in order to dine there. I want to add we ordered a pretty solid amount of food- it wasn't like we ordered fries and drinks.... I've been to many fine dining establishments in Paris (as well as all over Europe) and not once have I had this issue. It was rude and embarrassing and I will certainly not recommend anyone to come here in the future.

I'll be honest I came here because I saw on the news that president Macron had a lunch meeting here the day before. I asked what he ordered off the menu and to my dismay I was told he didn't order lunch. Damn I wanted to order what he had...... I was about to follow up that question with " where did he sit" lol My husband stopped me Anyways we had a great meal. They use very fresh ingredients and the staff is attentive. Our waiter spoke fluent English and French so it made ordering very easy. I was offered a menu in English but refused. I'm trying to become accustom to reading in French. The decor included velveteen sage green seating, black marble, white linen and hints of gold accents. I found the atmosphere very relaxing and low key. I ordered the lamb chops because they looked delicious in the other Yelp pictures. They came with the most glorious veggie side dish. Perfectly cooked cabbage and cauliflower with a sinfully delectable butter sauce. I was very tempted to order another one! My hubby got the pork dish.... he wasn't in love with it so we swapped. I liked the pork even more then the the lamb chops. This place claims to have a great view but honestly I wasn't able to see if. Nevertheless the restaurant was beautifully appointed and the service was great. I shall return!

The ambiance is gorgeous and perfect for a special occasion-- but it glamorously covers up bad service. We attempted to celebrate our anniversary dinner but after being sat down we were provided zero service. After being brought water 10 minutes later, the server abruptly left again without asking for our order. The restaurant was not busy for a 730pm on a Sunday night. We recommend you choose elsewhere rather than spending your money on a place with poor table manners. Moral of the story-- we walked out before giving them a chance to redeem themselves which honestly did not seem to be on their agenda

The Worst service Ever! After being seated at 7:15 at 8:01 we still had not been assisted with ordering dinner. Manager had to take drink order. If I could do zero stars I would. Still no order. Flagged down manager to get order. Original server worked never came back and acted as though we are invisible. I dine out 3 times per week and at very nice restaurants; however this was horrible!!!! I am an great tipper to those in the service industry But I am at a lost for words on how horrible the service has been. Our party of 5 birthday celebration was total bust for this place. On to the next one. Has anyone had this experience before?

Horrible food. Ok service. Drinks are horrendous. Server not good with English. Horrible. 0 stars. Don't waste money. Slow service for no reason. Lying staff members pushing bad food. Good ambience. Cannot see Eiffel Tower from inside though. Mandatory tip

Wow! Delicious food! I enjoyed the escargot, very flavorful with a delicious basil butter sauce. They also had a good wine selection.

Most horrendous service ever experienced. Took 5-6 rounds of reaching out to waiters and waitresses who were not bothered to take your order although they all said yes, yes, we are coming. It took us tremendous amount of effort just to get them to take an order. Don't ever come to this restaurant again cos they have no intent to serve Asians. All the Caucasians and middle eastern customers next to us were served their drinks and had their order taken although they sat down later than us. And by the time food is served, the manager decided to serve our main together with the starter. By the time we got around to our main, my croquette and my wife's pasta were cold. Bad bad bad service, average food, overpriced.

Really bad service. The bouncers were rude and condescending to us. They looked at us from our toes up. Basically saying we're not good enough to go in. Seemed to be a place of high fashion and high social status. Money is not the issue we just did not fit the profile of person that gets in. I recommend not going there at all if you're just a tourist in paris for a few days. Really really rude guy.

We had absolutely joy with the service and food. Fish was great even thou it was little overcooked , the rest of the dishes were quite amazing. Hope to visit Paris again.

Great view of the Eiffel tower. Friendly staff. The food was delicious. The pork belly was perfectly cooked

My wife and I had lunch at Monsieur Bleu while in Paris this May. The ambiance is fantastic and incredibly relaxing. If you want to enjoy great food, attentive service, and take a "sensory" break from the busyness of Paris without leaving the city, then you'll love Monsieur Bleu.
