Soé Restaurant "Izakaya"

This restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide, and I came with an expectations of what the restaurant should be listed in Michelin guides, since I’ve tried many Michelin star and recommended places before. Overall, the food was a bit disappointed but the service was good — the staff were kind and accommodating. In general, the flavors were good, but the ingredient combinations felt a bit too simple. I think the chef could be more creative with the pairings. The first course, an onsen egg with miso sauce, was tasty and well-balanced. The second course, fish with a light sauce, was nicely cooked — tender and refreshing without being heavy. The third course, a ceviche with beet sauce, had a pleasant sweet-and-sour flavor, though the concept felt a little basic. For the main course, I ordered the pork rib, which turned out to be almost entirely fat. I asked if it was supposed to be that fatty, and the server confirmed it was. I doubted. Also, I actually came after checking their online menu yesterday, but it seems they updated it today. Unfortunately, the pork also had a bit of a strong odor, so I couldn’t eat it. I mentioned this to the staff, and they kindly offered to replace it with chicken — which I really appreciated. The chicken was better — juicy, with a slightly crispy skin and a sauce that complemented it well. Their sourdough could be more fragrant, and the dessert was fine but not memorable. Dinner was €49 for 3 courses or €59 for 4. The experience was pleasant thanks to the service, but I hoped for more creativity and refinement in the dishes.

Food was great, perfectly executed, beautifully plated. They accommodated to my allergies by switching up some things from the tasting menu, very grateful. Beautiful minimalist decoration, yet feels cozy. Its all tasting menu, but starts at a small one, so you wont feel super full, nor need to stay for 3 hours.

A fantastic lunch at Restaurant Soe. Food: creative, refreshing, very interesting flavours. each dish was well thought-out and all elements were intentional and harmonious. The wine was good too. I never wanted this meal to end! Service: servers were super friendly and welcoming, and explained the dishes to me in English. I felt welcome and at ease. Atmosphere: the interior is beautiful and tastefully decorated. overall an amazing experience! merci bcp!

Creative cuisine that is a kind of live performance…there may be flaws, but this comes from the effort to make something new. And there is always risk in Asian fusion cuisine — how can a Western sauce work with Asian elements? — but when it works, it is intensely satisfying. Wonderful, knowledgeable service too. Recommended.

I work nearby so I come often for lunch. Ever since I've found it while searching for a place to eat between hours of work I always come back. Not only that the food is really good (and I'm very judgmental), but also the service is professional and also the atmosphere with the lights and the flowers and the wood really makes the whole experience much enjoyable. Also as I'm very sensitive to smell, taste and sound, I'm very please that it's often quiet (unless customers are being loud but it's not the restaurant's fault). I recommand it to everyone now, and when my clients doesn't know where to lunch I always tell them to go there. One of my favorite place in Paris and I've tried a lot. A truly underrated place.

Wonderful little gem. The food, apart from the gorgeous presentation, is absolutely delicious, with a very interesting combination of flavours. The waiters are attentive and hospitable and the atmosphere is pleasant. We had the second option, offering 5 dishes, and we found it perfectly balanced. We will definitely go back. 😊

The food was exceptional and the service very friendly. We chose the six course menu with sake pairing, which was super interesting. Highly recommended if you are looking for outstanding non French food in Paris.

We had 4 temps menu with sake paring. Great service and excellent sake paring experience!! Bravo to a chef and all the team of Soé.
