Reyna

Reyna offers a unique Filipino-inspired dining experience in Paris. Booking a table is quick and easy through their website, saving you the hassle. I’m not entirely sure if they accept walk-ins, but it’s worth checking. We ordered everything on the menu except the pinakbet. As this is kind of a unique experience to us, I wanted to leave detailed feedback on the food. The Hainan Burrata was a surprise hit. It was flavourful and could be paired with bread or rice. The baked oysters with cheese were also delicious and a must-try. The rendang had a classy, soft taste that balanced out the other rich dishes. We tried both the patis and adobo sauces on the fried chicken. The adobo sauce was particularly delicious. We were seated next to other Asians (not Filipinos) who were also impressed by the chicken adobo. The bagnet could be a bit better. For someone who loves bagnet, the crispy skin was slightly burnt. It wasn’t visible in the photo, but we tasted the burnt, bitter taste. The bistek was a great fusion of European steak and Filipino bistek sauce. It was one of the best Filipino food fusions I’ve tried. Finally, the cheesecake was a clever way to incorporate Filipino flavours into a classic dessert. The presentation and storytelling behind it really enhanced our dining experience. Unfortunately, we weren't able to try their sisig and kare kare. I was really looking forward to those dishes. The staff were incredibly courteous and accommodating. Initially, Ms.(sorry I forgot her name) wasn’t particularly warm but I understand since at the time we arrived, all of the other customers also arrived and all of them got busy. Eventually, she became very friendly and we even had a great conversation. I was surprised that she’s known on social media. I really wanted to meet the Filipina chef but I’m not sure how to request an audience with her. I just want to express my sincere gratitude to her and the entire staff for this wonderful dining experience in Paris. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique Filipino dining experience.

Our dining experience at Reyna in Paris was nothing short of exceptional. Every single dish was extremely delicious. We had the fire-kissed oysters, the adobo fried chicken, bagnet, tumeric rice, and calamansi cheesesteak. As Filipinos, we were especially moved by how the menu pays true homage to Philippine food culture. Each dish stayed faithful to its original flavors while being beautifully, insanely (in a absolutely good way) elevated; familiar, comforting, and yet impressively refined. 🤌🏼 The chef truly honored the essence of Filipino cuisine and somehow managed to take it to an even higher level. We were completely blown away. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in the right spot; we loved the whole vibe of the restaurant. The music, the energy, and the overall ambience instantly set the tone. A very special mention goes to Edgar, the maître d’, who made our evening even more wonderful. He has such a welcoming, pleasant personality and attended to us with genuine thoughtfulness. His knowledge, attention to detail, and exceptional people skills were an absolute delight and made us feel truly taken care of. We left Reyna already looking forward to our next visit. This is a place we will wholeheartedly recommend to all of our friends and family, and we’ll be encouraging everyone we know to dine at Reyna whenever they are in Paris. An unforgettable experience from start to finish… maraming salamat, merci beaucoup, Reyna! 💖

Love the food. Tortang talong always been my favorite Filipino dish! oh my the burrata with that chili oil.. until now am craving it. Rice portion is huge like good for 2. I like the vibe of the place.

Was our first meal in paris and this really sent the benchmark. the food was so tasty and flavorful. the burrata and fried chicken were to die for! Can't recommend it enough!

We went here after months of knowing this, as we're based in Canada. One thing for sure is that we didn't regret visiting this restaurant during our quick trip to Paris. The staff were friendly and warm, they spoke our language and made us feel at home. My husband and I have been going around places looking for elevated Filipino cuisine, and this one is a great find. My personal favorite on their food menu is the Cabbage Kare-Kare - as someone very picky with her vegetable dishes, this one I will choose every single time. It is a must-try for people not allergic to nuts. We also liked their wine selection, although there is a lot of room for improvement, like having more extensive wine and cocktail options. Their Bistek steak can be more tender, but taste-wise is really good! I hope we can go back to visit again.

You know how I know the guy working the front of the house means what he says? He told me the same thing during this second visit, the same thing he told me 2 years ago when I visited with 2 friends for the first time. And that’s that he loves my tattoos. It was literally the first thing he said after he said hi. He was pleasant then and he was just that this time around. Consistency is key. We even ended up ordering things he recommended. Also, I didn’t notice it then, but he’s trilingual. I heard him effortlessly switch from English to French to Tagalog like a boss. The food here is amazing. I stay amazed at the innovation and creativity. Cabbage in kare kare is certainly a take. I tore that up. My personal favorite are the wings. That crunch is a legend in itself. You can enjoy it as it OR chow down on that rice. Such pretty presentation. Another favorite this time around was the bicol express. The spice level was just right for my sister who doesn’t dig spice. Personally, I was hoping it would be way spicier. We had zero issues 2 years ago. This time around, me and my sister were trippin a little. The same guy waited on us and he was amazing. He took such great care of us and even gave us tips on getting around safely in the city with all the scammers and pickpockets littered throughout. There was a woman working the front, dropping off food and greeting folks who walked in. She looked like she didn’t want to be there that night. We incorrectly thought a dish that was dropped off our table wasn’t ours so we didn’t touch it until we got confirmation. She happened to be close by so we called her over. She didn’t even give us a verbal response. She gave us a mmmhmm then walked away. Me and my sister looked at each other confused. I was like did we piss her off? She wasn’t very nice to us. Whenever she dropped a dish off, I would say thank you in different languages. She never once acknowledged the 3 times I said it — in Tagalog, French and English. Yet, she was so friendly to everyone else. I overheard her tell her whole life story to other tables. Takeaway that off moment with the service, I’d probably come back the next time I’m in the city for them wings alone.

Everything we had was great but the standouts were the curry and the oysters. The fried chicken hit as well and the wine selections are well paired.

Randomly booked last minute and totally worth it. The tacos (oh boy the tacos) and the fish were just incredible. Amazing and friendly service and an AC working gives them a 5
