RESTAURANT PAGES

My partner and I decided to come here while on our trip in Paris. It came highly recommended and I’m so happy we did! From start to finish, you are warmly greeted at the door, taken to your table, and the culinary journey begins. We did the pre-fixe lunch and each plate was displayed with such beauty! I cannot wait to dine again when we are back in Paris. :)

Food is as good as expected but nothing too special. However, the service is below standard. After we were brought to the table, no one introduced the menu to me for 10 minutes. I realized there was a QR code so I scanned it with my phone, but since no one did any introduction to me (please remember this is a fine dining restaurant!), I am confused do I need to make any selection? A waiter final came to me and asked if we were ready to order after 15 minutes... and I had to ask him what options do I have........ a really poor start for the night

We went here for lunch. Had high hopes for the Michelin rated restaurant. I was a little disappointed. Nothing really appealed to me and nothing jumped out as wow! There were also a few problems. The fish with the single mini clam, I almost had to spit out the clam because it was so fishy. The fish was ok…. The meat dish was strange, I don’t know which part of the cow this was from, but it had so much tendons and so much fat, didn’t get much out of it. Though the little I was able to carve out it did have a nice smoky flavor. We chose the four course prefix because our stomach hasn’t adjusted to the time zone and couldn’t eat that much which was technically our breakfast. There were some chips on the table. Unique. Liked them. The mushroom ravioli was ok. The first vegetable dish was meh. The dessert was ok. We were in a hurry by this time. If we had more time and our stomach was time adjusted, would have wanted to try the A5 wagyu for an extra $50. They gave different cutlery for each dish. Their service was up to Michelin standards. There is a single bathroom with a Japanese bidet. Would love to give this place another try next time we are in Paris.

Japanese-French fine dining. Second time visit. Never disappointed! Ideal for Asian taste stomach! We were 4, there for lunch , fix menu , 9course per person , spent 798€ in total which satisfied!

I had never been to a Michelin star restaurant before, and honestly had no idea what to expect. I had made a reservation for two, but my friend was sick & unable to make it. The host was very understanding & adjusted to the situation. Inside, the ambience was incredible. It felt so welcoming & warm, with everyone being so inviting. I had wondered about dress code for a restaurant like this, but was welcomed in wearing nice pants & a designer t-shirt. It felt very comfortable. The service & food was astounding. It was easily the best meal of my life. It was about 2 1/2 to 3 hours total to get through all the courses. It was an incredible experience, and I can’t thank the amazing staff or the incredibly talented chefs enough. The love for food & the unmistakable care for guests oozes out of Pages

Pages is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Paris. The food is exquisitely prepared combining traditional French haute cuisine with delicate Japanese input. The staff is very professional and friendly. It was a pleasure to meet the chef. I loved the ambiance too. The lobster and steak were extraordinary!

Fantastic restaurant that is a must visit in Paris. We got the 8 course set menu with wine parings and it was magnificent. We even got to meet the chef/proprietor of the restaurant at the end of dinner.

A perfect dining experience. Friendly service and an excellent environment. The waiter is very professional and explain every dish, the ingredients, cooking method in great detail. Every dish is stunning with different layers of flavour. The only drawback being too difficult to reserve a seat. :( Will definitely revisit next time.

Amazing French cuisine with Japanese influences. The food is so well prepared and it tastes delicious. After many courses I was so full, but would have eaten anything they put in front of me it was so delicious. Service and ambiance are equal to the incredible food.

Definitely a must visit spot when in Paris. Excellent service from begin to finish. Atmosphere is not as pretentious as some other places. Lunch course is full of flavors and consists of seasonal ingredients that were carefully selected. I really enjoyed my dishes there, especially their seafood dishes. Desert is worth mentioning too. That tart had perfect balance between sweetness and tartness. Nice and clean bathroom too - nice hand wash and diffuser choice ! Again, top notch service from Everyone esp the lady who can speak both Japanese and English ! Will try the sister restaurant when I return to paris for sure next time

Pages was truly one of the best meals we've had in Paris. While looking at the Michelin starred restaurants in Paris, I was surprised to see quite a few non-French cuisine places on the list. I had no clue there were so many Japanese chefs offering traditional omakase menus or Japanese/French fusion tasting menus. While there aren't too many reviews on Yelp, Restaurant Pages caught my eye with its creative dishes and theatrical tasting menu that somewhat reminded me of The Alinea Group that we have in Chicago. I was surprised to see how easy it was to book a reservation, with availability even with just one day notice. That's unheard of for a Michelin starred restaurant in Chicago, but I guess with so much competition in Paris not every place will be a tough reservation to pull. Ambiance / Location: Pages is located in a quiet area not too far from the Arc de Triomphe. It's easy to miss because there's only a subtle sign on the outside, and it's located next to its more casual sister restaurant Le 116. We dined at Frenchie the night before and Pages is the polar opposite. While Frenchie was more romantic and casual, Pages was bright and aligned more with the traditional concept of fine dining. When you walk in you immediately notice the bright natural light, the crisp white table cloths, the white brick walls, and best of all the open kitchen. Chef Teshi himself greeted us from the kitchen as we walked in and took our seats. Throughout the meal you can observe the calm efficiency of the sous chefs and the jolly demeanor of Chef Teshi, which is the opposite of the French brigade kitchen scenes you see in the movies. Dining Experience: I read everywhere that it's best to try the Michelin restaurants for lunch because they are often much cheaper and still provide an amazing meal. We went to Pages for lunch, and they offered either a 4-course or a 6-course tasting menu. We opted for the 6-course menu, which was 105eu per person and last around 2 hours for lunch. The clientele seemed to be a lot of business people having lunch, with my wife and I being the only obvious tourists. It wasn't just about the food at Pages. They truly had the complete package of impeccable service, inventive cuisine, and even creative plating. Each course was truly a theatrical adventure, as Chef was able to derive flavors from unexpected places and present it in a fun and visually pleasing form. I loved the fusion of French techniques and Japanese ingredients. For me, the tasting menu provided a good mix of familiar flavors as well as a push to try things I've never tasted before. I genuinely loved each and every course, with my favorite being the two types of beef and that amazing potato waffle. Also, that almond cake course was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Amuse Bouche Lemon curd with grilled octopus Pumpkin soup with roasted pumpkin seeds Biscuit with parmesan cheese filling and pickled onion Course #1 Lobster tartare, celery cream, tarragon sauce, sliced radish Course #2 Grilled eel, risotto, shaved parmesan cheese Course #3 Grilled cod, clams, fish broth with bacon, charred broccoli and cabbage, green onion Course #4 Seared lamb, lamb jus, turnip, onion, collard greens Course #5 Simmental beef from Switzerland, filet of beef from Normandy, potato waffle filled with herb cream Pre-Dessert Black currant compote with rosemary yogurt cream Course #6 Almond cake topped with Japanese basil ice cream, fruit preserve, almond cream and wrapped in almond paper; sliced figs Mini Pastries Almond financier, chocolate biscuit with chocolate cream Overall, I'm so happy we were able to squeeze in a lunch at Pages. While it's not one of the most talked about restaurants among all the other one-star alternatives in Paris, it was exactly what I hoped for. The food, presentation, and service were all fantastic.

This place is outstanding. The price point is also very on point. Food is fresh and innovative. Loved the service and ambiance as well. Will definitely come back!

Absolutely amazing food. Extremely friendly and attentive service. Watching the open kitchen was fascinating. The chef-proprietor hand delivered many of the courses. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Only complaint is I needed a nice long nap afterwards!

Now this is another my favorite. I went there fairly early stage last year though... Again :) talented Japanese chefs creating innovative French,,, but make no mistake they are so sublime and ...will make the wonder in your mouth :) ( I actually liked the his version of " Oyako-don " - well nothing like the traditional one but the marriage of chicken and egg--- if you know what I mean:) The chef Teshima is actually specializing the quality meats so you will be assured to have the amazing beef ( not the only Japanese one:) and more. The open kitchen will also show case some of their magical action going on. And as all Japanese do -- subtle and elegant ambiance and thoughtful service to go with. Not mention that great location , I think this is also the very special address in Paris. Hope you can try there at least once !

So I am not sure how this hidden gem has stayed off Yelp's top lists but this is easily one of the most delicious meals of our lives! Sit back, relax, and let the service and kitchen take care of everything. The food was pleasing to the eye and palette, and the service as impressive. They were happy to speak English with us and explain the details of the menu. We had an absolutely wonderful time and walked away with big smiles on our faces from the gastronomic adventure we were taken on. Come here before it pops up on the Travel Channel ;)

Michelin Star...really? Let me start off by saying that the experience at PAGES falls short of what you would expect from a fine dining Michelin rated establishment. This review is really geared for the food enthusiast who is familiar with the Michelin system. I am a vegetarian, but my husband is not, so this review encompasses both of our opinions. Now onto the review. 1. Ambiance - A beautiful balance between rustic French decor and clean minimalist design. 2. Food - I had requested beforehand a vegetarian tasting menu and they were nice enough to accommodate my needs. My husband opted to upgrade his tasting experience to include the waygu and truffles. The waygu was served 2 different ways, and it was cooked perfectly and was instantly the star of the show. My tasting experience was good, but not great. The courses started to taste the same and became almost predictable. I've learned to settle for that kind of experience since vegetarian cuisine is not their forte and I can't be too hopeful. Dessert - sucked. The theme of the night was definitely lemons, which overpowered every other flavor that you were supposed to enjoy (one of the dishes was too start to eat). Service - This is WHERE Pages lost a star from me and almost 2. I felt that the staff (both kitchen and wait staff) lacked the attention to detail and service that would give them the Michelin star. From the very first dish, I pushed aside anything that had leeks or onions. This continued all the way to my last savory course, with 1 dish that was composed of 50% leeks. I wanted to see if the staff would pick that detail up, and SURPRISINGLY they did NOT. One could argue that my meal was planned a day or two in advance and changing it on the fly would be difficult. However, difficult and impossible are not words found in a Michelin star restaurant. -1 star in this area. Overall Pages fell short of being great for me. I make it a goal to eat at 10 Michelin star restaurants a year...Pages would be at the bottom.

I celebrated at Pages my 50th birthday and I will never forget it! They took great care of us, tactfully and tastefully !
