Signature

This was my second visit to this intimate establishment—originally discovered through a feature in Traveller magazine—and I arrived with open curiosity rather than specific expectations. To my delight, the experience was even more impressive than I remembered. We pre-booked the 8-course dinner, and the progression was flawless from the first amuse-bouche to the final dessert. What truly stands out here is the delicate balance between French technique and Korean ingredients. It feels like a genuine marriage of flavors rather than a forced fusion; the result is French cuisine that is surprisingly light, clean, and refreshing, lacking the heaviness often associated with the genre. The venison dish, in particular, was exceptional—perfectly cooked and deeply flavorful. The space itself is quite small and humble, yet it brims with personality. I learned that the tables were hand-painted by the owner's mother, whose artwork also adorns the walls. These touches transform what could be a cramped setting into something cozy and artistic. It doesn’t feel like a stiff gallery, but rather like dining in a creative friend’s home where every detail has a story. The atmosphere is further elevated by a soulful backdrop of Blues and Jazz, setting a relaxed mood that complements a classy yet accessible wine list. We enjoyed a red from the Loire Valley that offered incredible value—balanced and not overpowering, it was the perfect companion to the delicate nuances of the meal. Finally, the hospitality is the heartbeat of this place. The husband-and-wife team radiate genuine warmth. Even as the small dining room hit peak capacity, they never lost their smiles or attentiveness. Their positive energy, combined with truly "angelic" pricing for such a high-quality 8-course meal, made this a memorable evening. I am already looking forward to my third visit.

Signature Montmartre is the perfect cozy and intimate place to unwind at after a long day of strolling through buzzing and noisy Paris. From the second we entered the restaurant, the owners made sure that we immediately felt welcomed and at ease. With their choice to have two services for dinner, they make sure that all their guests can relax and enjoy their dinner without having to fight their neighbours with their elbows. While reserving our table in advance, we opted for the 4 course tasting menu for 55€ per person (we could have gone for more courses). Since we did not know what we would get, every course had a surprise element to it. We do not have any allergies/intolerances nor dietary restrictions so we were able to enjoy the „full experience“. After ordering our aperitives, we started off with some amuse bouches which consisted of squash soup and blue cheese financiers (no photos taken). The starters were razor clams with eel and pickled daikon and anchovy broth with fish balls. As main courses we had prune and foie gras stuffed quail as well as white fish fillet with lobster bisque and quinoa caviar. Although both of the desserts were rather not on the sweet side (the co-owner doesn‘t like to use sugar at all, which we understood and respected after expressing our opinion and getting that explanation), we also enjoyed the reimagined tiramisu and the fig dessert with Chartreuse gel. All in all, every dish was executed perfectly and tasty so going (back) to Signature Montmartre is a no-brainer. While offering each guest enough personal space to enjoy dinner, the owners give theirselves the possibility to get to know their clients. What a gem! Absolutely worth a visit when you want to unwind in a cosy setting…

This was our best meal in Paris!! The flavors of every dish were interesting and on point and the service was excellent and never too slow. The price point is very reasonable for the quality. Our only regret is that we wish we did more courses!

Outstanding experience. The food is delicious and freshly made, with original and tasty dishes, always well presented, proposed by the young chef Shun Narise. The wine list is impressive. The restaurant is modern and very clean. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended, booking a table well in advance is advised, as the restaurant is starting to become quite popular.

The vibe was good the moment we stepped into the restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and seated down. The restaurant setting is not too fanciful and we got the feeling that the food and service were going to be good. And as it turned out, it was a great dinner, together with the recommended drinks and the great conversation we had with both the couple restaurateurs, it was such a great experience to dine. We'd definitely recommend to our friends. One particular dish I love the most is the octopus which is in season for seafood.

It really couldn’t have been better. Amazing food, service, and ambience. The owner/host was charming and helpful. Greeted us warmly and explained the food creations lovingly. One dish included rocks from his in-law’s garden. We opted for the 8 course tasting menu, which was perfect. Great wine, great food. Go! There is a reason they have been successful for 6 years. The engineer turned restauranteur, his Korean pastry chef wife, and Japanese chef create a fusion of tastes and experiences that you shouldn’t miss.

My wife and I had the 4 course meal for dinner during our last night in Paris. The service was friendly and impeccable, and the food was amazing. To top it off, the desserts and wine we had were the best we had during our trip. Kudos to the chef and the team! I would highly recommend this restaurant.

A charming place nestled among all the touristy spots. The small, friendly team offers warm, attentive service, and the food is both creative and delicious. Thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and excellent value—an experience that feels both special and welcoming.

Very delicious overall, although for the price I was feeling hungry after dinner as the portion sizes were a bit small. One of the best meals I had in Paris, the Rhubarb dessert was quite impressive. I would say the food is simple, but the flavors work well together very well. I did not pick up on too much Asian influence, and it felt catered towards a European palate. The main entree Fish with sauce was by far the most impressive dish. It's definitely cramped inside, but most Paris restaurants are. The service felt very intimate and the owner/host was extremely talkative and friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Montamare.

Had an absolutely delightful dinner. Was in Korean in April, loving the meals from chefs who had spent time in France and the come home, so very fun to try the intersection in France. The food was a delight. The desserts in particular were so tasty! And wine pairing s couldn't have been better, with unique wines from small producers. And the kindness of the service stood out

This was our favorite restaurant in the Montmartre area by far on our December 2021 trip. I'm usually skeptical of Asian fusion menus but Signature managed to hit it out of the ballpark on all their courses. Our favorite dish was the pork belly, which was perfectly executed, so much so that we ended ordering an extra because we could not have enough! Highly recommend and loved everything we ordered .

One of the best meals we had in Paris...we were late for our reservation, but the waiter and host (who is co-owner with his Korean wife) was gregarious and welcoming. I can tell you as an American with terrible French, I haven't felt more welcome in any of the restaurants I have been in France than here. Plus the food was delicate, fresh, and outstanding. Hailing from Southern California, we know Korean flavors. The chef here so beautifully meshes them with French food. I cannot recommend this place more highly.

We LOVED everything about this restaurant. The service, food, and wine were all amazing. There was nothing that I could think of that was a negative. This was probably my favorite eating experience in Paris. The service was spot on and the food was very well thought out and delicious. We will definitely return in the future.

Fun fact: the chef who works here used to work at a Michelin Star restaurant before he moved to Paris! I could definitely tell, since this is one of the few places I've eaten at where the food tastes better when you take smaller bites. Each dish was beautifully presented and the server was very patient with explaining what everything was. I believed the menu changes often but I enjoyed their Bulgogi Gyoza--I usually don't prefer Asian Fusion but this tasted amazing. If you can, go check it out!

One of the best and most memorable meals I have ever had was at Signature Montmartre! After we found this restaurant online, we really wanted to try it, but they were out of reservations. I messaged them on Facebook asking if we could be notified if a reservation got canceled, and they graciously made a reservation for us! I have tried fusion restaurants/dishes in America, but found many to be lacking. Signature Montmartre has really perfected their approach to Korean French fusion in a thoughtful and inventive way. Every element of each course was delicious and meticulously put together to create a beautiful and exceptional dish. Trying traditional French cuisine in the days prior also helped me appreciate Signature Montmartre's great blend and balance of Korean & French fusion. This restaurant is truly unparalleled!

Celebrated my wife's big birthday here. We had tried many fusion cuisines around the World and this place is very good - with local & seasonal ingredients, the chefs did a great job blending French cooking techniques with Asian twist - it's not only Korean, but also Japanese and Chinese. Their menu changes regularly. Excellent fine foods by serious-looking chefs & well-balanced by the friendly serving team. :-)

A small cozy restaurant that is "Michelin" recognized. I don't believe this restaurant has any stars which I think can be misleading. Food was good. Had a slight Asian flair, but I wouldn't call it spicy or overwhelming with Asian spice. I particularly found their foie gras palatable as it was my first time trying it when I arrived to France. It was accompanied with a citrus jam, sea salt, and pepper.

It was really good restaurant and I enjoyed each stage of dinner. Meals and desserts are so brilliant and very well balanced. Some Korean elements are well blended with French food. For sure I can say these meals are not Korean(I'm Korean), but it has Korean taste as well. Don't know how to describe. Wonderful restaurant!

I join the chorus of people singing praise to this place. It is indeed the best meal we had in the past 10 days in France! Service is personal and impeccable. English, French or Japanese are spoken fluently. Long wine list with reasonable prices. Beautiful presentation and very tasty food. French fair with Japanese/Asian flavors.

Best meal in Paris hands down... Michelin star rated food for incredibly reasonable prices. This restaurant doesn't have a ton of yelp reviews but look at all the other online review sites and you will see this relatively small restaurant is well vetted. Also we were the only tourists in the entire restaurant, so the lack of reviews on yelp may be because Parisians tend to use other review sites? When we first arrived, we received a warm welcome from our waiter Victor and he continued to provide amazing service throughout the meal ensuring all dishes were well explained, and our needs met. Presentation was beautiful and the chefs prior experience with fine dining at a prior Michelin starred restaurant clearly shows. And the food itself. Absolutely wonderful. The Korean and French flavors both came through and complemented each other perfectly. Ultimately a wonderful casual and intimate dining experience with amazing food and service. Can't recommend more highly!

I cannot recommend this place enough! I never leave reviews, but the was the best service and food I've had in Paris. Amazing, fresh ingredients, and unique flavors. Everything was unexpected and delicious. My parents have very high standards for eating and this place made them very very happy. If you don't go you are missing out! Just make reservations because they fill up quickly (for good reason, yum!)

This was one of my favorite dining experiences in Paris. Excellent service--our waiter checked in on us often but not an annoying amount, and he took the time to explain the dishes/ingredients and answer any questions we had. The restaurant space is small, so everyone inside was tended to properly and welcomed warmly. Asian fusion tends to be a hit or miss, but I really appreciated that this place did it justice. I also learned that one of the chefs here, Sukwon, used to cook for Michelin rated restaurants! I especially loved how the desserts creatively incorporated Korean ingredients. We had a grilled peach with makkoli foam (korean rice wine) and candied nuts. The menu also had a dessert that incorporated misugaru (a korean grain powder that I used to mix up into drinks almost daily as a child) that I was super curious about. I wish I had ordered it since they change the menu often. Hopefully the next time I'm in Paris, it will make an appearance on the menu again.

After a week of dining in Paris , my son took us here for dinner. It turned out to be the best meal we had all week. Like many restaurants in Montmartre it is small. But it is very special. The menu is limited with two choices for each of three courses, but changes every two to six weeks. Each course is beautifully presented. Seasoning is perfect. French-Korean fusion is rare, but here is very well worth trying. The owner carefully explained each dish in the appropriate language for each guest. While we were waiting for my son to arrive, the owner gave us a tour of the kitchen and introduced us to the cooks. A memorable and entirely pleasant and satisfying experience.

One thing I seek out when I eat is great food and I dine out three to four nights a week. I would give 10-stars to Signature Montmartre if I could. My daughter found this restaurant on Yelp before the arrival of my wife, daughter and myself in Paris and I'm glad she did. We knew nothing about Signature Montmartre previously. One thing I can say with all my heart (and tastebuds) is that I'm am so glad that this was the last dinner that I had in Paris so that I can truly say that this was the best meal that we had for the 6-days that we were here (and we went to nice, fancy restaurants every night). This was a true test that Signature Montmartre passed with a grade of A++++. Their specific style of fusion of French style sauces/spices and Asian sauces/spices created tastes that I've never experienced before. I asked for a spoon to finish off the Iced Korean Dashi (made of Anchovy and Seaweed Broth) that my Tuna Tataki was bathing in and I got the spoon! I would've drank that most delicious cold broth straight from the dish if nobody else was around. The three partners are destined for a Michelin Star in my opinion. The husband is the host, waiter, wine sommelier and busboy. The wife is the pastry chef (must save room for her desserts) and the Chef has to be from a Michelin Star restaurant. I suggest making a reservation in advance since they get fully booked quickly (I watched them regretfully turn away at least five different groups that walked in last minute hoping for a table), or take a chance that someone had a last minute cancellation, but if you do the latter, then as an actor said in the movie Taken, "Good Luck...".

I just had a wonderful meal here. The restaurant is small and very welcoming - (I speak almost no French, which the host immediately recognized and provided an English menu). Food was creative (I was told the menu changes weekly) and excellent. They clearly take great pride in their food and described the ingredients in each dish as it came out. French/Korean fusion, tended towards strong flavors, at least what I chose. A relaxed and extremely enjoyable meal that I will remember for a long time.

An incredible dining experience. They accommodated our large party at the last minute and we had a few vegetarians including myself. They were able to adjust to our dietary restrictions and this ended up being one of the best and most creative meals I had in Paris. And definitely order the dessert, the pastry chief creates works of art.
