Pertinence

Excellent experience. This 1 Michelan star restaurant offers 3 different options of dégustation lunch menu. The chef will serve you in this 4-5 tables minimalist, clean, nice restaurant. We had the option of pairing wine, an it was well worth it. Don’t leave Paris without experiencing the best food you can ever have.

The steak was incredible, single greatest piece of meat I’ve ever had. The service was impeccable, will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in Paris.

This restaurant is sublime! An exceptional culinary experience that we will always remember. On the night we were there, Chef Ryu was serving and Chef Kwen was in the kitchen. We had the five course menu where each offering was perfection…such wonderful, complex flavors. We also enjoyed the quiet, intimate, and relaxing dining room that accommodated only five or six tables. Their wine cellar is very impressive as well. We will definitely return to this wonderful establishment!

Flat out THE BEST MEAL I'VE EVER HAD!!!! We are in our 60's, live in NY and have had more than a few good dining experiences. This was by far THE BEST!!! The food was superb, the ambience sublime (minimalist/modern) and the presentation exquisite. The owner/chef could not have been more gracious or informative. The wine pairings were smart and imaginative. One Michelin star does not do Pertinence justice. If your wallet will allow you, you MUST make Pertinence a part of your Paris experience.

An incredible culinary experience, one of the best dinners I’ve had. Chefs Kwen and Ryu served up an amazing meal, inventive and bursting with subtle flavours and textures. We had the 5 course (which is in fact more like 8-9 courses) and the wine pairing was simply outstanding. I wish I could give them 6 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

really lovely small restaurant for fine dining. The Christofle’s silver tableware is appreciated. I love how dynamic the food is from the ingredients to flavors. Can you imagine a coffee flavored scallop? I am really looking forward to come again!

On the last day of Paris, while we were disappointed with the dinner the day before.....we found this restaurant. No place for the dinner so we had lunch. Light and gai atmosphere mixed well with modern style interior. I felt well served by the sincere professional chef. Normally I don't take the picture of food but I did. Was great final of our vacation.

Absolutely lovely! I cannot recommend Pertinence enough. The attention to every detail is impeccable. I really appreciated the extra effort to accommodate our dietary preference and allergy. If you have the opportunity to dine, don’t skip out on the wine pairing!

Pertinence is my favorite restaurant in Paris. Amazing food and service by two chefs in the heart of Paris. Ambience: small, private dining experience. Restaurant has 3 tables ( 2 x 4 tables and 1 x 6 table) with enough room around tables. This is perfect for a date night or smaller group settings. Full length window walls make the place seem more spacious and when you order wine, there is a downstairs cellar that the chef goes to grab different wine collections Food: 55 or 80 euro lunch course (we did the 80 eur one for extra protein dish) or 120 eur or 185 eur dinner course. Food changes every season. We were here 6 months ago and I would say all dishes pretty much turned over. This time, especially loved the starter and the fish course. I didn't enjoy the fig dessert as much but nonetheless the food is cooked to quite perfection. Wine: believe it was 45 eur wine pairing. I usually don't drink enough for wine pairing and champagne (28eur) and one glass of wine ended up being ~40 eur I definitely love my experience every time I visit pertinence and cannot wait for my next Paris trip and visit to the restaurant.

I booked a reservation months in advance for a special birthday lunch with my husband. The restaurant did not disappoint. The restaurant felt like a private dining experience, with the two chefs personally waiting on our table. We had the four course lunch with wine pairing, and it was truly one of the best meals I've had in my life. The quality, presentation, ambience, taste - everything was excellent. I cannot recommend this restaurant more. This restaurant has become my favorite dining experience in Paris and I am grateful to have had such a wonderful birthday meal.

What a delightful evening spent in this well-deserved 1* Michelin restaurant. Incredible balance of new French cuisine with Japanese-Malaysian influences. The subtlety and wonder of the textures, nuances, colors and flavors left us regretting our plates were finished so quickly, although we left feeling no hunger, but cheerfulness for such delight.

Absolutely fabulous experience. Excellent food (of course), but amazing that a two-person staff can pull off this level of quality - just excellent.

What a scandal... The elegant decor and friendly service can't make up for the incredibly long wait (it took 1hr45min into dinner to get our entree). The chef was spending as much time in the dining room as in the kitchen, which can explain why it took an eternity for us and other diners. Maybe the staff was not top of their games tonight as the food was upscale bistrot fare, not Michelin-starred excellence. For starters we had the excellent vegetables cooked in an herb- and bergamot-scented stock, probably the highlight of our dinner. As entrees we ordered sea bass with potato mousseline, and it turned out pretty bland and ordinary. We had booked Pertinence to celebrate my birthday but by the time we had reached dessert we were just too disappointed by the food and the wait to order any cake or dessert.
