"Open for: Lunch, dinnerPrice range: $$$In spite of its enduring popularity with tourists, the Left Bank doesn’t make it easy to find a great French meal — unless you book at chef Antonin Bonnet’s restaurant. The funky decor is eclectic in a way that reads as very Rive Gauche (Left Bank) in French eyes, and everyone loves Bonnet’s cooking for its focus on the best French produce, cooked with a deep respect for natural flavors. Beef comes from the organic farm of Anne-Laure Jolivet near Angers, and France’s best catch-of-the-day and seasonal vegetables are treated with an exalting subtlety, as seen in the Breton lobster with beet pickles or the veal sweetbreads with truffle cream. Located in the 6th arrondissement.Best for: A memorable Gallic feast that isn’t insanely expensive." - Alexander Lobrano

"Located opposite Ferrandi, the legendary culinary school, Quinsou ("chaffinch" in Occitan) is well placed to influence the great chefs of tomorrow. In a stark, modern interior (cement tiles, bare light bulbs), chef Antonin Bonnet offers a refined, delicate, sensitive and unpretentious take on artisanal cuisine. The ingredient-led dishes put the focus squarely on premium-quality produce: Axuria veal, hand-dived scallops from Erquy, matured trout from Asturias… They serve a single set menu at this fine restaurant headed by a passionate chef." - Michelin Inspector

Really very very good. The menu is exciting and amazingly well cooked and presented. The wine pairing was a little bit odd, good... But a few wines that were a bit more challenging than my taste prefers. It didn't spoil an epic culinary evening. A big thumbs up. Pictures of food from others say it all about the presentation. Mine explain the taste.

We had a dinner at this place. We have got to taste finely crafted yet what felt like honest food with natural and quality ingredients. The food was delicious and light. We chose wine pairing option which elevated our experience. All the wine proposed were unconventional names yet had interesting and unique characters and wonderfully paired with each meal. A clean, natural and tasty food, wine and experience. Will definitely come back!

Unremarkable fine dining compared to other options in Paris and beyond. Food was fine but unmemorable. Restaurant itself noisy and service below par - cold and unfriendly. Leaving a bitter taste at the end, the waitress took the same payment from both of our credit cards rather than a balancing sum (overcharging us by EUR95) - this seems to be a common issue at the restaurant based on other reviews. While I was promised a refund a year later this has still not been made.

For a Michelin restaurant, a very disappointing experience. For serveral reasons: 1. No explanation what dishes we were being served. 2. We asked for wine pairing, but specifically asked to avoid fruity wines. First wine served: a fruity wine. 3. Red wine was poured on top of my pants. 4. Food was okay, service was terrible.

72th in my Michelin Stars Marathon in Paris. Bistronomy in the 6th Interestingly the chef here was the one who reopened the “Sergent Recruteur » nearly a decade ago. It was a success and Stars could be seen smoking outside. Well, I’m saying this because the interesting thing here is that it’s nearly the opposite. I wouldn’t say the restaurant is low key but it’s definitely not the same atmosphere. You’re in a « bistronomic » with a star. The atmosphere is really closer to a more casual bistro. One should notice that there’s not that many on this side on the River. Actually, you could also note that it’s in front of the famous Ferrandi school (Culinary institute). All I’m trying to say here is that the chef seems to have decided to forget the fashion and glam and focused on more low key and culinary approach. And it works. It’s elegant without being too convoluted. It’s refined and yet “gourmand” (tasteful). It’s grounded. It’s a solid one star. The atmosphere is very casual. Friends, couples, family. You could have a business lunch with a foodie partner. My experience: had a great lunch. Update 2022: Went back for lunch. I loved their take on the foie gras. Classical enough to indulge, different enough to experience. I think I appreciated more the second time. Definitely a very solid star.

My family and I have been devoted fans of Chef Antonin Bonnet's extraordinary culinary magic for many years, following him from London to Paris. Quinsou is everything we adore about his cuisine, a perfect blend of creativity and finest ingredients, with an overall experience that engages all senses and all emotions! Every plate was always meticulously crafted and beautifully presented! Chef Bonnet’s passion and dedication to sourcing the best ingredients shows in every bite, making every dish innovative, exciting and deeply satisfying! As the menu changes with seasons, you never know what awaits you, which makes every visit unique! The restaurant is wonderful, ambiance is both elegant and inviting, the decor is understated yet super chic! We just love everything about it! As we don’t live in Paris, we often make special trips just to indulge in Chef Bonnet's creations. The journey is always worth it! We cannot recommend Quinsou highly enough, just wished we lived closer, so we could visit (much) more often!

My husband and I had the most incredible meal. Every dish was better than the previous and we were absolutely blown away. On top of the food being delicious and unique, the owner couldn’t have been any nicer and informative. This was an experience we will remember and talk about for years to come.

Not impressed. My wife loved the meal, but unfortunately, I found it very mediocre. The flavor of the fish is good, but when served it was already lukewarm, which impacted its taste. The pork also has good flavor, but a bit overdone. Dessert has good idea, but I personally was not a huge fan of the cabbage. So overall, honestly not what I expected for a Michelin one-star.
