Passionné

This restaurant has a great ambiance, an excellent service, and minimalist decor, which extends to the thoughtfully designed tableware! The food was really outstanding! Every dish was a discovery, a culinary journey, full of colour, flavor and everything cooked to perfection. The presentation of each dish was just as impressive and beautiful ...a piece of art. The staff was friendly and attentive. This culinary journey was totally worth it and me and my friends had a wonderful and memorable time. We highly recommend Passionné!!!

Bonsoir! The food tonight at Passione was magical- everything was stunning, exquisite in taste and beautifully made. The Lamb course was spectacular. The pre dessert was heavenly. And the turbot was incredible, especially the tartare. the hospitality was wonderful, especially Mehdi. He took exceptional care of me and even sent a lovely citrus mocktail for me to enjoy. Merci for a lovely evening, I look forward to the next time. Belle soirée- Patrick Winkler, New York, NY USA

I would say the food is really good. I didn’t like every single course. The atmosphere is pretty except for a table that kept breaking glasses all night. But my server Mehdi Was excellent. He made me feel comfortable, he spoke English, which helps a lot because he helped explain what the dishes were and which one to start with. He was very attentive since I’m Here on a solo trip. Great experience!

A rightfully lauded restaurant, highly professional, with exacting cooking standards. We went for the well-priced lunch and enjoyed the generous dishes served, including various delightful amuse bouche offerings. The fact that we were seated in probably the worst spot in the restaurant, in front of the bar and flanked by service stations, with busy waiters brushing by constantly, did not diminish our enjoyment of the food (next time, we'll try to be seated in the elegant restaurant part).

Very good but just missing that extra wow factor for the price, €400 for two, sat next to the cloakroom which was a bit awkward and my partner kept getting bumped, so maybe the layout could be improved. Would recommend for the food. Tasting menu only in the evenings and a deposit taken at reservation.

4,4/5 A classy and elegant joint, not too far from the Grands Boulevards in Paris, quite an appealing discovery: you get a Michelin-star experience for a commendable price (my guess is that the restaurant is aiming for its first star). The place in itself is small, seating a bit crowded with small tables, especially given the amount of courses served. A special mention to their sommelier Ismael: a professional, nice & interesting person to chat with about their fusion cuisine. Went there at dinner time, they serve a single 7-course menu… with flavors that were absolutely delicious and wonderful! We started with 3 amuse-bouches, the tastiest of which was the house-smoked salmon wrapped in kombu seaweed jelly. First course was a concoction of 3 different preparations of scallops: -fried scallops prepared with isobe-age, -grilled with ginger & braised red radish -steamed with trout roe and caviar lime. All 3 had very different exquisite flavors!! Then came 2 presentations of the Bresse duckling; -shiitake mushroom stuffed with duckling -duckling cake with Brillat-Savarin cheese, shiitake condiment (absolutely amazing!!) 3rd course was about the Saint-Nectaire, 2 dishes that were equally tasty with saffron in both! Following was the fish with yet again 2 presentations: -A turbot meunière style, with a Nanatsuboshi rice-based sauce (a variety from the chef's region) & Katsuobushi. Amazing dish!! (although did find a small shell in my plate) -Alongside, a savory flan with turbot and Swiss chard, and Oscietra caviar. The meat dish was a lamb from the Languedoc region: -The saddle roasted over Binchotan (traditional Japanese oak charcoal), hummus and roasted broccoli. Again super delicious! -Also with, a leg of lamb prepared as a sausage in the Jingisukan style (a Hokkaido dish) with chickpea stew & Roquefort cheese. Pre-dessert & dessert were also mouthwatering; Tapioca pearl with kaffir lime confit, roasted apples, red shiso coulis, and meringue. Dessert comprised of 3 pear preparations (pear sorbet with ice mochi, poached & pear). Wine and champagne was quite extensive; The Philipponnat Brut was a subtle choice (although firstly unavailable according to the waiter because not properly stored, only to find him serving it to me later after I had changed my choice to a Saké bottle!). Some improvements need to be undertaken (if aiming for a Michelin star); Though waiters did a great job, service was not quite on par (waiters couldn’t remember every dish name, champagne bottle available then canceled then served on table), Seating needs to be more free and comfortable with larger tables (table was very packed at one point with no room for water glasses), WC should be redesigned to accommodate both genders separately. My main impression from this restaurant was the quality, tastiness and originality of the flavors. Each dish was unique, though using the same ingredients/condiments. And it was REALLY DELICIOUS! Will be definitely going back!!

Cons: Was our first time dining at Passionné. Arrived at 9:30pm for our reservation and was told that we would not get two courses (onion and mushroom). This was never mentioned during booking or fully explained why. Also our sever was switched out half way through our meal without explanation. Service felt rushed and not the experience we expected based upon other guest reviews. If a full dining experience cannot be provided at the 9:30pm time slot then do not offer it. Work on better communication with your guests. Pros: The presented courses were all very delicious, well thought out and we really enjoyed the creative ways an item was served two different ways in the same course. Bravo to the back of house teams!

Great Value, Excellent Food & Service We had a lovely dinner at Passionné. The food was excellent — beautifully presented, flavorful, and well-balanced. For the price and the quality you get, it’s definitely a great value and worth recommending. Service was also warm and attentive. We were dining with friends who are experienced with fine dining and Michelin restaurants, and they appreciated the staff’s thoughtful guidance — for example, helping us decide the best order to enjoy the dishes. Only small downside was the bathroom cleanliness, which could be improved to match the otherwise high standards of the restaurant. Overall, a very satisfying experience in Paris dining.
