Pur' - Jean-François Rouquette

Just incredible. We did the 8 course service with wine pairings. The food was beyond compare and the wines were perfection. The service from all of the staff we interacted with was exceptional. Not an inexpensive meal but for us, a once in a lifetime experience we will cherish.

We had a lovely evening at Pur, enjoying the 8 course menu with wine pairings. Each dish was truly exquisite, and the wine pairings (all French!) truly elevated each dish. Occasionally in fine dining, a dish will fall flat; not a Pur. A special thank you for Chloe, for keeping the baguettes flowing and Colleen, the sommelier, for her excellent descriptions and selections.

Everything was exceptional — from the meticulously crafted dishes to the thoughtfully curated ambiance. The attentive staff, the unforgettable flavors that delighted our palates, and the extensive wine cellar added a vibrant touch to our evening. We also want to express our gratitude for the thoughtful gift.

Truly a phenomenal dining experience. My partner and I did the 8 course menu alongside the wine pairing. The food was extraordinary, almost scientific in nature and the service was impeccable. Prepare to be spend a pretty penny but envision it as a culinary experience rather than a dinner out. Restauranting done right. Also the live piano music was perfect addition to the night. Great piano, great vocalist and perfect volume. Both English and French music. Truly outstanding

The 6 courses menù is more than enough food, since it also features three entrees. Everything was exceptionally good and the waiters have been incredibly kind in offering us an additional piece of french cheese.

Wow. One of the best, if not the best dining experience in my life. The many courses of food tasted amazing with fresh ingredients and innovative flavors while still maintaining a summer theme. The service was attentive and friendly. This restaurant, in my opinion, deserves more than 1 Michelin star. I will be back for sure.

Best meal of my life. The flavors were perfect, and the presentations were like little works of art. The scallops, langostine, and fish were my favorites, but every dish was sublime. The pear dessert was heaven. The service was exceptional. I could not imagine a better experience. The petite dishes ahead of the meal were also great - the beet, potato, and razor clams. My husband had the Wagyu steak and loved it. The wine pairings were excellent - I usually never like dessert wines, as they are generally too sweet, but the wine with the apple dessert was perfection. All the wines were wonderful, and this restaurant surpassed all expectations (and they were high going in). What a next-level dining experience and fully deserving of their Michelin star (if not 2!). Unforgettable.

A big thank you to the staff and chef for making our visit so enjoyable! Everything from the appetizers to dessert was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. It’s not just food, it’s art on a plate. Every bite was a masterpiece.The staff were kind and welcoming.We truly had a great time and look forward to coming again.

Bottom line first: upscale dining at a nice setting, good service, pricey menu This was the first of many fine dining reservations that we made to start the trip. The restaurant was located in the Park Hyatt, at a simple but clearly refined setting. The front desk folks greeted us friendlily and took our coats. The basic six course menu is €250, whereas the nine course is €350 including the upgrade of the main entrée to the Wagyu beef, which is also separately upgradable for €50. With asking, they were able to accommodate my eating the nine course, whereas my girl had the six course. All dishes were fine, with some of them being outstanding for presentation. The extra Langoustine course was outstanding. Perhaps surprisingly, the Wagyu beef was a little disappointing, with only two thin slices and not quite with the A5 marbling that I'm used to at similar institutions. The staff spoke reasonably good English, but as my girl noted, they did not clean the table as often as higher-star institutions. The latter is not really a complaint, more of an observation. Overall, I think this was a good experience, although the price point for the top course was reasonably steep. Then again, what should one expect of an high-end experience at the Mecca of fine dining on the planet?

Pur, by Jean Francois Rouquette This is the single star Michelin Restaurant located inside the Park Hyatt next to the Vendome. We had our first dinner here during our stay in Paris. I think it was a good way to start our trip. We enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing 210€ 6 course menu, 320€ with wine pairing. There is also a 9 course option. But the 2+ hours for the 6 courses is already too long for me. The 6 course menu is titled the "Escape" and consist of the following. FANTASY OF CROWD FLESH, ANISE PUMPKIN ZEPHYR, Black Garlic Marine Garden 8/10 *** STEAM-UP SCALLOPS, Ginger & citrus-roasted gray shrimp broth 8/10 *** NATURALLY COOKED POLLOCK, Carrot from Créances with Vadouvan, sweet onion ravioli & Macadamia nuts 9/10 *** ROASTED BRESSE POULTRY IN A COCOTTE, Mille-feuille of cabbage & chestnuts, Albuféra sauce 5/10 *** TROLLEY OF RIPENED CHEESE, from Marie Quatrehomme 6/10 *** CLARIFIED COCOA CLOUD, Light Mexican vanilla ganache & vanilla ice cream 10/10

One of the best dining experiences in the entire world. We have done fine dining including michelin restaurants in almost every country and I think this is #1! From the food, to the service, everything was the best I've ever had. Special cheers to stefania (helped us with the bread) and James Barnett (wine and drinks) who also helped make this a special experience, but everyone including the server was great. Cannot recommend enough. If you come to France, you have to come here. I promise you won't regret it!!

Excellent all around. Celebrated our 20 year anniversary here in June 2023. Ordered the six course dinner. Each plate was beautifully prepared and delivered exceptional flavors. The service was excellent and the ambiance was intimate. Our best dinner in Paris.

Oh so yes. Were really pleased with this spot. Food - while we went with the 6 course menu, the appetizers may have been our actual favorite part. The small bites were oh so perfect for flavors, texture, amount, and aesthetics. We were blown away with the food here from the first bite. Service - of course top notch. Shared servers that each have their own roles. They had bread between many of the dishes, but you need to be careful to not get too full on the delicious breads. Ambiance - romantic, nice lighting, and intimate. I appreciated that the tables weren't too close so we couldn't hear other people's conversations. Great spot for a date night, not recommended for a work group. Cons - accent was so thick on our waitress we couldn't understand what she was saying. We picked the menu back up which seemed to work, would have preferred to understand though.

Very high end dining experience near the Place Vendome. We had a multi-course Christmas tasting menu which was very good. The scallop course and the foie gras were my favorites. The wine pairings were also excellent. The service was very attentive but a pet peeve of mine is servers reaching across me. This happened 3-4 times which is a bit of a shame. By the time we were done with the meal we were completely full. The next time I think we'll go with an entree and bottle of wine instead of the tasting menu.

Good food,great service. Reservation is easy via the website. They have a la carte and 2 different set menu, 6 and 8 courses. We opted to try the 8 courses menu. The lamb is very good, but the star of the night was the foie gras shabu shabu! It's the best we've had in Paris! The chocolate desserts are very good too. Plenty of different cheese to choose for the cheese course. They also gave us brioche to take home for breakfast. Our dinner took more than 3 hours.

I still have dreams about this dinner. What an amazing restaurant and experience, if I could give them 10 stars, I would. My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner while we were in Paris and we were both blown away. The staff is absolutely incredible, knowledgeable and friendly. Everything from the timing to recommendations was absolutely impeccable. We opted for the 6 course menu with the wine pairing and were not disappointed. First of all, this isn't one of those restaurants that brings you a "course" with like one bite of shrimp and some green foam and you're starving when you leave. Everything that came out was so creative, fresh and most importantly, not tiny. Portions were perfect. Our som was excellent- he is from CA (props!) and was extremely knowledgeable about the wines and the pairings with the food. Everything made sense and was timed so perfectly. Dinner was about 3 hours and the ambiance was great. The restaurant is beautiful and they don't cram a bunch of tables in, which I appreciated. You didn't have to think about anything or ask for anything. I get really annoyed when I run out of water and have to track someone down to ask for more, and honestly, they just did everything so, so perfectly and seamlessly- you really never had to ask for anything at all. Exactly what I'd expect from a restaurant like this. Wonderful dinner and wonderful, memorable experience.

Just absolutely incredible!! We went to a 3 MS restaurant right before this and Pur' exceeded the 3 star by a long shot! Every dish was delicious and extraordinary! I will make it a point to come to Pur' every trip.

My actual rating is 3.5 star. During my stay in Paris, I wanted to have at least one fine dining experience. I chose Pur' since it was a Michelin starred restaurant and they were open on a Sunday. Many French restaurants are closed on Sundays, so I was happy to find a one that was open. You should make a reservation. If I remember correctly, I think I made mine about a month in advance. The restaurant is located in the Hyatt hotel. The ambiance is very nice. Typical of many hotel restaurants. However, it had a more loungey, but classy, feel which I found relaxing and nice. I liked the lounge like seating as opposed to rows of tables and chairs. Come dressed nice - you do not have to be too formal - no gowns. But dress as you would when you go to a special occasion at church or formal work function. I had the 6 course pre-fixe with wine pairings which included: - Monkfish, Fennel, and Sweet Potato dish - Duck Foie Gras with Green Beans, and Quinoa in a Yogurt/Horseradish Sauce - Beef with Potatoes - A few dessert dishes The staff was very accommodating to my friends peanut allergy, so I am unsure if the selections are in line with what they actual offer on their menu. I let them know during the reservation period and when we got there, they were very attentive to ensure that they met our dietary needs. In general, the service was superb. I feel confident in saying that it was the best service I had in Paris. Very professional and polite staff. The wine pairings were superb. Everything paired well nicely. I did not like the port with dessert. However, that is not held against the restaurant as port is considered a dessert drink. I personally just don't care for port. Especially not with dessert. Not sure where that rule was established. lol. I was a huge fan of all the entrees. It is very difficult for me to pick a favorite. I guess I would have to say the Monkfish. However, the Duck Foie Gras and Beef were cooked perfectly. I loved the layers of flavors. They were hearty without being heavy. They were nicely presented as well. The entrees itself would give this restaurant a 4.5 stars. I gave 3.5 star because of the desserts. I did not care much for the desserts. In fact, I do not think I really remember any of them. They consisted a big portion of the meal (8 in total I think). I do think I had a dessert with brie - and I remember eating it. This says a lot because no one can get me to eat brie. I usually do not have the pallet for it (it's possible it wasn't brie). But generally, the desserts were not memorable. As an American, and this being my first fine dining experience of this caliber, it was difficult for me to get used to the tiny food. I am big into nutrition, and technically, the food is perfect portion sizes. However, it didn't prevent me from wanting a juicy turkey burger afterwards. I did not leave full. I stopped at the restaurant bar after dinner. They had some very unique cocktails. I ordered the "Puki Puki" simply because I liked the name. It was a very beautiful and tastey cocktail. Very tastey cocktail - more memorable than the dinner wine. I vote that all restaurants should offer cocktail pairings with pre-fixe dinner. That would be nice! The 6-course pre-fixe will run you about 235 Euro - not bad considering some other fine dining resteraunts were almost double.

This restaurant is located in the Park Hyatt. A hotel restaurant, we were uncertain of how good it could be (even though it's a 1 star Michelin). We almost actually changed our dinner reservations, but since my BF's friend JUST proposed to his GF a couple hours before our reservation we kept it. Make reservations as the place was booked when we went and they have limited seating times. Dress is at least business casual. Although not required, almost all the men in the restaurant had suits on (so don't come in a polo!). Entire table must select the same pre-fixe menu. Trip Diary 5/7/2015 1: Dublin Bay Prawns from Pacific Island& Oscietre Caviar, Fennel Panacotta, Cucumber Jelly, Dill, Oil 2: Duck 'Foie Gras' "Shabu-Shabu," Soba & Rhubarb Stalks Tea 3: Abalones w/ Parsley & Ginger, Cereal Garden 4: Pan-fried Turbot w/ Salted Butter, 'Mimosa' Emulsion w/ Nasturtium Flowers, Saffron & Baby Leeks 5: Saddle of Lamb Stuffed w/Marjoram &Smoked Paprika,Chichito Pepper, Ossau Iraty Gnocchi 6: Refined Cheese Trolly from Marie Quatrehomme 7: Damascus Rose Water, Wild Strawberry, White Cheese & Iced Hibiscus 8: Grand Cru Croc Chocolate w/ Crunchy Caramel Pieces, Tonka Fava Flavored Dark Chocolate Sorbet Our friends LOVED the meal and we all had a great time. Personally, I thought a lot of the dishes were too tart for me, so didn't love any of the dishes. The wine parings was very good with each dsih and we got buzzed quickly. The thing we all agreed on being really good was the Foie Gras lollipop. All of us wished we could have more of it (even the non-foie-gras-lovers)! Such a whimsical way to eat foie gras and it had such a smooth center. The cheese trolly was fun as the waiter was kind enough to give us a small sampling of ALL the cheeses. Our own little cheese tasting :D AMAZING service and why I had to add a star! There's always someone nearby to attend to your needs. They'll even escort you to the bathroom so you don't get lost. Of course your napkin's folded when you come back to your seat and they'll push you back to the table when you sit down. Be sure to come hungry as they do not allow to-go boxes.

This place is the definition of elegance. I was suffering from terrible acid reflux at the time of my reservation for dinner in the restaurant downstairs. I was planning to skip dinner, but I thought I would go take a peek anyway. The moment I walked in, I felt as though I had entered a serene spa, and the wonderfully welcoming hospitality made me comfortable enough to sit down for dinner, despite my stomach. I let them know my stomach was very acidic, and the wait staff helped me choose the perfect items from the menu. By the time I was done dining here, my stomach was feeling 100% better. I suggest the Wagyu beef as an entree.

The reservation process through tripadvisor was very easy and the confirmation was received within minutes. I wish I could give 10 stars to the service as it was truly exceptional, everything was really perfect. We ordered from the menu and the dishes were beautifully presented and the portions were adequate. However, I must point out that the flavors of the food were not as exceptional as I was expecting. The foie gras was truly exceptional with a flavor and texture I have never tried before but the rest of the plates were very good. The sommelier was also amazing and she gave very good pairing suggestions. The cheese table was amazing with great recommendations from Ms Camille.

OK, so this was special. We came to Paris for a week, to celebrate my beloved's 50th birthday. I did some research in advance, and decided that this will be the place. First thanks go to Mariana, who communicated with me in advance of the visit. Professional, prompt to reply, working with us on the 6-course menu (we don't eat meat), adjusting it to our food preferences and the special touches for the celebration. Then came the evening. Professional welcome, with elegance and grace. Once we got seated, we met James the sommelier. Unbelievably knowledgeable about wines and the profession at large. A delicious glass of champagne to start the evening, followed by an even more divine French red - to die for. On top of it, because we had fish, he recommended - and brought (on the house) - two glasses of white that fit the dish perfectly. The service from the whole team was superb. SUPERB! Luc was equally professional and friendly, and we engaged in a few conversations about how they run the place, and the world of Michelin stars. Then came dessert. Or, more specifically, first came the pre-dessert dish. It was followed by two separate dessert dishes, wrapping everything with a chocolate creation of one of the chefs who specializes in chocolate. We have both "been around" and traveled various parts of the world, separate and together - and experienced a variety of restaurants. We unanimously agreed that this was THE BEST restaurant experience of our lives! Sure, it was also the most expensive one - and I would pay it again for this experience, without thinking twice. Thank you Team Pur' for making this evening so unique for us!

I am currently so full I can barely breathe but so appreciative of Pur's wonderful service that I had to leave a review. We opted for a tasting menu and after so many lovely and delicious varieties of appetizers, main courses and not one but four desserts I can honestly say I am so glad we dined at Pur'. Team here takes class and service seriously and with, what appears, lots of pride. Bravo!

Great environment for date nights, beautifully served dinner, freshly prepared food, plus excellent service. We came here for New year eve's dinner and tried the special prefix 7-course menu and came home with a satisfying smile and a about-to-explode-belly. Def a yes to anyone staying in Paris.

The food was amazing. We had a 6 course for my birthday. Cod was cooked just right, lamb was tender yet not too raw. I liked the use of vegetables in every dish, making it light and fresh. Loved it and would recommend to anyone. Service was very good as well. They gave us two amuse buche and also one free refreshing sorbet which adds up to total 9 dishes. Enough yet not too filling. Romantic ambiance with an open kitchen.

I think Michelin got it right when they awarded Le Pur 1 star because while the place was beautifully decorated and the staff was attentive-nothing out of our actual 6 course meal stands out to me two months after our visit. In fact, my favorite part of the meal was the duck foie gras lollypop, which was served as part of the amuse bouche. Don't get me wrong-the food was good, but we only had one free night in Paris and I wish we had been able to people watch at an outdoor brasserie rather than be cooped up indoors at this stuffy establishment. The service deserves to be called out though because it was top notch. Do expect to be here for a while...at one point I literally felt like a hostage. When we attempted to ask for the bill we were told to wait for dessert. This American girl just cannot hang on that long for a dinner. Things to note: - Drinks seemed super expensive. My one cocktail was around the $40 range? - The menu changes often. - They wheel an entire cart of assorted breads by for you to select one. Quite an impressive display. - Gratuity is included already in your bill. Stupid me guilted my bf into adding more since the service was so great. Lol, hopefully that explains why we were gifted with a mini dessert takeaway when we left.

Went there for an anniversary dinner with my wife. The restaurant is situated in the Park Hyatt and we arrived 20 minutes early and we had unique before dinner cocktail concoctions in a picturesque lounge. The restaurant staff was extremely attentive and my wife surprised to see a collection of Paschkes (a Chicago artist) and other modern artwork throughout the restaurant space. The tables were situated in a large round pattern but were very private and spacious (unlike many French restaurants where you are on top of everyone). As for the food, we opted for the 8 course meal with the wine pairing. My wife loved the foie gras lollipops and a trio of starters including a not so salty caviar. The wagu beef with shallots was tender and melted in your mouth. There was a tortellini with crispy mushrooms and a frothy sauce that was decadent and I wanted a whole plate of it. An interesting cod like fish was good but needed more flavor. The squab with thinly sliced beets and salty reduction was prepared perfectly - I normally don't like squab or beets but I wolfed it down. I also tried a shellfish called abalone which tasted like a combo of a oyster and clam but has the consistency of a hard polenta - good but not as good as crab or lobster. There was a nice peach sorbet with a wafer followed by an assortment cheeses from different areas of France that they sliced tableside. Dinner was finished with several types of small chocolate cakes, pastries, and sauces. All of the food was pared perfectly with wines both white and red ending with a nice 20 year port and the most interesting being a white chilled rice wine. Overall it was an incredible meal that tantalized all of my taste buds but a great way to spend 3 hours in Paris.

Ate at Pur June 24, 2017 with my wife, and enjoyed it tremendously. Service: The service was impeccable - drinks offered upon arrival, a waiter to explain the menu within moments, fresh bread moments later, a sommelier to discuss wine pairings, water glasses filled efficiently as needed, etc. Beyond that were the little things, like noticing immediately when my wife rose to visit the restroom and offering to show the way, not "hovering" or intruding on our conversations, but still being extremely attentive. I would say Pur is already operating at a 2+star level and waiting for Michelin to notice. Food and wine: Exquisite. If not for the even more fabulous meal we had a week later in San Sebastian, it would have been the best of our 3-week vacation in Europe. My wife and I had the 6-course tasting menu, and it was fantastic - interesting ideas from the chef flawlessly prepared and presented. I enjoyed every dish, and the wine pairings complimented the associated dishes perfectly. Bravo! Overall, I would say Pur is under-rated by Michelin - this is a 2-star restaurant, both for service and food. At 145 euros (215 with wine) for the 6-course tasting menu, it is great value as well.

I know there are a lot of Michelin rated restaurants in Paris, but we stumbled upon this place because we stayed at the Park Hyatt Vendome. It was supposed to be a rainy day so we didn't want to have to venture out for dinner and the concierge suggested this. I'm usually a bit hesitant to eat at the hotel, but since it had the 1 star, and the menu looked interesting we tried it out. I searched around and found only one other review on Chowhound. The setting is appropriate dinner lighting and the staff are genuinely nice. It's an open kitchen so if you are lucky you can watch the chef work. Clean, precise and not a lot of talking. We both opted for the 9 course tasting menu and were pleasantly surprised. Actually, it was great. The presentation, ingredients and creativity were top notch and place this place in the same category as Robuchon, Guy Savoy, Per Se etc. In my reviews, I always compare to other "famous" places to give other Yelpers a frame of reference. Maybe I'm biased but the more foie they put in, the better things taste. I won't describe each dish as I think the tasting menu changes periodically. But, if you are in the area and want an excellent experience with tasty food, you should eat here. Yes, Paris has a lot of yummy food, but this place deserves a little recognition.

Place sucks. Food sucks. They promised a customized veg meal and then told us to go to h*ll when we got there

We were promised a vegetarian friendly menu and were horribly surprised at their lack of options. I would definitely not go back. What a jerk of a chef!

We had an exceptional meal at Pur. Everything was impeccable from the food to the flawless service. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing that was just delicious. Highly recommended!

We did the 6 course food and wine pairing. It was a great time. You barely lift a finger as the servers and sommelier shuffles plates and wine for a truly remarkable experience!

This restaurant could be the best restaurant in Paris. Their quality and taste of food, as well as their creativity and presentation are extraordinary. More Michelin stars are likely in their future.

My husband and I had dinner here while staying at the hotel, and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Be prepared to spend a few hours enjoying a perfectly paced and intimate coursed meal here. From the dining room to the flatware to the plating to the food, you absolutely feel that you are getting a Michelin meal at Pur. The service was absolutely perfect--particularly by European standards-and the gastronomy was exceptional. This was one of the few fine dining experiences where I didn't feel that pretentiousness clouded or eclipsed the actual quality of the meal. The dishes were complex, interesting, and unique. Highlights were the duck and the langoustine off the tasting menu. The wine list is also predictably excellent. JFR actually came out and spoke with each of the tables toward the end of the evening--unfortunately I was hardly able to get more than a few words out in my terrible French, but it's clear that he's deeply invested in guests' experiences at the restaurant. It honestly feels that that attitude of pride and care is shared by everyone working there. One thing to note is that this is a very expensive meal, so I would take that into consideration before bringing small children or a large family. Overall, an incredible experience that we'll remember.

I would recommend Le Pur to anyone in Paris. Possibly the best meal I've eaten. Menu was very well thought through along with perfectly paired wine and service was first class. Would not be surprised to see a second star added soon!

Not such a place in Paris may give something similar. The service is completely customised and tailored as a sophisticated person may need. The price is correspondent to the service that is provided by the waitresses, at least three for each table. A place to go.

Booked through The Fork. I printed the confirmation email and brought it with me. The hostess and someone else (presumably a manager?) said they didn't have our reservation despite me showing them the email both in print and on my phone. I don't care if it was their fault or the Fork's. There was literally no apology, no offer to seat us elsewhere or to take us later. In fact, it was much more of a "good luck, see ya" kind of vibe. This whole experience was infuriating, especially given that this was on a) a Thursday and b) the night before Valentine's Day in Paris. Finding a substitute was impossible -- all the best places were obviously booked. I wouldn't even consider recommending this place or returning at any point.
